Saree style - Genelia in Tarun Tahlani creation

Genelia was spotted promoting Tarun Tahlani saree collection. The saree is cute but I don't like the belt on the saree. A more feminine belt would have added some style to the saree.

Half and Half saree - The in thing?

Since they were introduced couple of years ago, the half and half sarees are still gaining momentum. Somehow I was never a fan of these sarees since the concept itself stuck very bizarre. You would wear a nice half saree or a gagra but a combination of all these feels like it doesn't do justice to any one fabric. I am sure lot of you disagree with me on this since it is a very popular reception or sangeet saree these days.

Here is Shraddha das in the latest half and half saree. I am glad she didn't add too many accessories for an already heavy zari saree. And I am sure someone told her that a halter neck blouse suits her the best. She doesn't show up in any other kind of blouse if she is wearing a saree.

Priyamani - Sabyasachi style

Mr.Sabyasachi has been really busy these days with most of the bollywood actresses endorsing his product and him designing the sarees for entire Ravan movie. With a store in Hyderabad he surely is attempting to get closer to the southern consumers too. I like most of his designs if not all though they are expensive for my taste. I guess most people can now afford them but you have got to spend a few thousands for his simple sarees to a few lakhs for his really gorgeous ones.

Priyamani looks perfect in this Sabyasachi saree with the right kind of makeup and accessories

Paithani Sarees

Originating from Maharastra, these are one of the unique sarees that you should have in your wardrobe. The colors and the design are very unique and make a great outfit to wear for weddings, receptions or anyother big events. They come under expensive category but it is well worth the money given the beauty it adds to you. Only a few saree shops carry these sarees in Hyderabad.

The green one in the picture is mine and I love it.

Pochampalli sarees

I like the design of these sarees. They come in so many varities, they look rich but are very affordable and will be a very good choice to wear them to pooja's and other small functions. You can find them in most of the saree stores in Hyderabad and elsewhere in Andhra pradesh. These sarees also come with zari border but the zari is not of great quality.

Saree style

A Saree is the main element of fashion in Hyderabad or anywhere else in India. In addition to this dress form remaining a classic from ages bygone, in recent times, Bollywood has made it as sexy as it can ever be and the colors and the patterns amaze me everytime ...from the subtle to the sexy, from the brights to the beiges..... There are many many different types of sarees and styles and  I would like to share some of the beautiful patterns and ageless designs that never go out of fashion.

New types of saree designs keep coming to the market everyday, but to me "COTTONS" remain my favorite of all, mainly due to the comfort (to survive the hot hyderabad summers !) and from the simple elegance that they offer . Some of the cottons from Gadwal, Kolkatta, Kothakota etc., with their classic designs ( that are being slightly modified to adapt/appeal to the "new generation")  bring a lot of grace and dignity to the female form.

I love this saree on Manisha. Its a simple cotton yet so gorgeous.
