Hello my lovelies!
These pictures were taken at the onset of spring. Being an Assamese, spring is very special to me. It is synonymous with Bohag Bihu - the season of love, music, and beautiful seasonal flowers! :)
One such flower that adorns the courtyards of Assam is Sewali phool (night flowering jasmine) and the other night, as I was walking down the lanes of koramangla, I could smell it!!! And almost instantly got transported to Assam.
Hence I decided to do a post that was inspired by my Assamese roots!
As I looked through the various "mekhela-sadors" (Assamese 2 piece saree) in my wardrobe, I came across this special hand-woven black "mekhela sador" set that was gifted by my mum during one of her earlier visits. It's a traditional Mising (one of the many tribes of Assam) set.

Paired the beautiful "sador" with a maxi skirt and maxi top. Kept the accessories simple with just a boho inspired coin necklace and a silver choker.
This was my first try with ethnic fusion wear and frankly, quite love the results...
Will be travelling to Assam in the next few days and trying out a lot more of this...tell me if you like it.
It would be great to hear what you guys would like to see me do next :)
Until next time...lots of love x x
