The Vogue Diaries

Hey there!

Navratri's season has started and I brainstormed for a while and came up with an idea of draping the handloom sarees that are particularly weaved from the south Indian region.
Saree is something that defines an Indian Woman. Being a South Indian I realized that the top-notch fabrics are weaved into sarees from the South region.
So, I had this idea of wearing only South Indian sarees for this entire Navratri season.
Nine Days, Nine different handloom sarees!

Day one:

Today, I wore a saree that belong to a place named Guntur and the name of the saree is known to be Mangalagiri Pattu Saree.














About Mangalagiri:

Mangalagiri is a fabric that is weaved in Guntur' a small town near Andhra Pradesh region.
These sarees are being weaved from 500 years now.
This fabric is very unique and one of my most favorite fabrics.

Every handloom connoisseur's preference is managalagiri fabric when it comes to gifting a saree to a temple.
This saree is a symbol of holiness and purity.

The yellow saree with violet checks is a very traditional combination of colors and my personal favorite.
This saree was given to me by my Peddamma. I paired it up with a zardosi blouse to make it look grand.
I wore a casual Peru, butta jumkhas, and a traditional nose ring to complete the look like a traditional one.















Saree: Mangalagiripattu
Accessories: kasula peru, Butta jhumkas, a Nose ring.

I hope you've liked this look of mine.

Hey there!

It's been so long since I've written something related to skin care.
In today's post I'm going to review about the skincare products that I use everyday.

I've been of fan of the brand Kamaayurveda for quite a long and It's been a long time since I started using these products.

I usually don't prefer using any skincare products particularly for the face because I am very choosy and rather prefer using homemade remedies.
But, for the first time, I tried using the Kamaayurveda products for my face.

Trust me, these are the best products ever.

Usually, when products are made out of plants, the manufacturers try to keep it very low concentrated.
But, in Kamaayurveda products the concentration of the essentials is very appropriate.

Tea tree oil :
I first tried using tea tree oil for treating the acne on my face. I mixed two drops of tea tree oil, mixed it with the moisturizer and applied it my face before sleep.
The pimple was cleared out within 12 hours. I haven't even found the scars of the pimple.

I'm really surprised by the results and its the best solution for treating the acne.

Rosewater:
I usually prefer spraying the rose water before going to sleep. It makes me feel fresh.

Nirampudi thailam:
This thailam works best for dark spots on the skin. My mother uses this oil frequently and we found a noticeable change.

Soap:
The aroma of these Ayurvedic soaps is amazing and they help to remove tan from the skin

Face foam:
This product is my travel buddy. I take him with me when I go on travel.

So, guys, kamaayurveda products are so friendly to my skin and I highly recommend these products for you all to use.

Hello there!

Its been so long since I've written a blog post.
I hope you all are doing great.

I've been to Ants Cafe on Sunday evening and I would love to share my experience at the Cafe.

Great surroundings. Yummy food. The AntsCafe which is nestled near Madhapur offers amazing contemporary food with a pinch of Indian flavors and aroma.

The infrastructure of the place is top-notch with glass walls and a lot of greenery around.
The ceiling has got pretty fairy lights which made the place look beautiful.

The charm of the cafe lies in two things.
One, the ambiance and the infrastructure.
Two, undoubtedly the food. It's quite cozy and impeccable.

I tasted stuffed vol-au-vent, stuffed mushrooms, chili panner for appetizers,
Veg Korean Pot rice for the main course and Custard Tart for dessert.















The food was served hot and it was a total mouth-watering.
I truly adore the ambiance and the presentation of the food.

What I wore to this place :










I wore dhoti pants which I got from a store in General Bazar
I paired it up with a short Kurti from Earthica.
To make a complete chic look, I wore an anklet that I got Tjori.com
The juttis are from Numaish exhibition.

Ratings for the restaurant :

Ambiance: 4/5
Food: 4/5

I would love to go back to the place and want to experience everything all over again.
So guys,
