Things I've Been Doing...A Mad Hatter Tea Party!

Sorry for being absent for a while folks, I've been caught up with organising a tea party at my house this weekend just gone, and now that it's over I can post a few pics and get back to fashion!

Here's a few snaps of the day, I tried to keep the theme as consistent as possible, and I loved how many ideas there were out there (thank you Pinterest!), as well as the random things I found around my house (the top hat was already in my wardrobe from a fancy dress party from years ago!)


I was really happy with how everything came together, and the fact that it really let my creative bug out, not to mention all the goodies and desserts I managed to make (and eat!)





You can see more pictures here about my afternoon and also some on my Instagram page as well, but it was definitely a fun day and worth all the hard work!

DESIGNER MODE: Geometric Designs by SVA

It's not often that you see abstract, geometric designs in fashion done well, but in this case, a geometric collection from SVA by Sonam and Paras Modi are pretty amazing, and it's making me covet a piece for myself!

There's something almost boho chic about this collection, understated flowy skirts, printed kurtas, maxi and anarkali dresses and gorgeous fitted jackets.


Most of the collection is in black and white, with accents of gold, but it works wonderfully, making for statement pieces which need hardly any dressing up at all - I can imagine these being perfect for summer weather!


I hadn't realised until I began writing this post and looking up more information, that this collection was actually from last year (see asianfashionblog's post on this at the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive fashion show). Nevertheless, it's still very on-trend, the designs are beautifully made and are a perfect alternative to a lot of the bling and colours which are available in the fashion industry.


I'd love to get my hands on one of these, particularly a printed kurta or printed maxi dress for the summer, While the heavier outfits such as bridals, lenghas and embellished outfits are a bit more pricey, the simpler stuff like the tops and kurtas are not - they range from about $109 (about £73) upwards, which is not too bad for a designer piece.

You can see more of this collection (and buy too!) here, here and here - what do you think of this collection?
