Arizona Calling!

updated on

Visited beautiful Arizona in mid-November. A vast land of huge cacti . You can see miles ahead of you, as there is nothing to clutter your vision. And then, there are colorful rock formations, evergreens, a trail of fall colors with in few miles. Road trip when in Arizona is must, to see all these transitions and variations. I went to Arizona for Antelope Canyon but found everything else equally enticing and peaceful.

Antelope Canyon–

Two things to keep in mind is to book the tour before hand as a Navajo guide can only take you there and you have to go underground using steep stairs (almost ladder) and then climb couple of times the same kind of stairs.

Here are the few pics of Antelope Canyon. Decide for yourself!

Horseshoe Bend–

A very scenic place famous for the horse shoe shape the Colorado River makes. It was a breathtaking view. The place is lit during sunset!

Sedona–

The city is full of Juniper trees and colorful structures and famous for vortex points, a very peaceful place. Below are the pictures from my camera. The purity of this place is heart touching.

And the food we ate!

Highly recommend these restaurants-

*Moscato Ristorante Italiano, Camp Verde

*Maple & Ash, Scottsdale

*India Palace- Cuisine of India, Sedona

Conclusion–

A great trip full of eyes wide open, flavorful food, some warm moments and lots of travel for 4 days.

Also, check weather before planning the trip to pack appropriately. A jacket or two is fine during the fall time, and in addition to that I packed sneakers, activewear and some social clothings.

A touch of fusion

updated on

This season I transformed the looks of few of my pieces with the corset tops. It instantly made each outfit look more interesting and modern. Corset tops are easily available these days in multiple colors and look sharp.

Giving details and ideas for each outfit next to it. The links for same and similar will be at the very bottom.

This look I created for Durga Pooja keeping the auspicious red and white in mind.
This saree is almost 2 decades old. Love the silk thread work all over. Wore it with the traditional blouse several times. So this time thought of giving a fusion look with the corset top and linen skirt. For me it takes lot of planning to wear a saree this heavy, so made the pallu (over the shoulder) pleats beforehand. Also, for saree this thick I did the pleats on the skirt wide and spread out to give a lehenga touch. The whole look came out well as desired.
This is a Rajasthani inspired look and can be worn to any festive gathering. Like the previous one, again it is a half saree on lehanga style. I also tried it with gold lehanga or skirt and it looked equally enticing. Wearing with a contrasting pink corset top. Btw this saree is passed on by my mother in law which was part of her wedding trousseau. So, never underestimate the power of a classic saree!
This look is a total mishmash. And I just created this look for the love of this red corset top. The color is so rich and matched with almost all the reds I thought of wearing it with. I also paired it up with a long red tulle skirt for Karwachauth/Diwali and it looked very modern. If you are a contemporary goddess, go for it!
How gorgeous is orange and blue together. The bright orange corset was a color I took my risk with. But I know one thing that all colors have something to offer, you just need to coordinate it well. Any shade of blue will look great with orange. This saree holds a special place and have been worn uncountable times traditionally. But gives an altogether different vibe here. Created this look for an afternoon celebration.

You can not go wrong with black. So, a black corset top is a must have. It can be paired up with any color. Here I have created a modern traditional black and gold look for a Diwali Party right from my closet.
