Ahkriti: Brand new beginnings

Have you stopped by AHKRITI lately? If you have, you will see something different.

Ahkriti now has a logo- A BLUE LOTUS.

The past month I was toying around with doing something new for my jewelry business and like successful business owners always say, dream big and start small, I decided to take a step forward and get my logo going.

I've always liked the lotus flower. Its the national flower of India. I did vacillate between using a chrysanthemum and a lotus, but I nailed it to the lotus simply because its association with India, yoga and the bohemian style of my jewelry would be more synonymous with the lotus flower.

I hope you will stop by.  Spend $45 or more and receive a free necklace from my Yoga necklace series worth $15.50

Saris and corset blouses

Come June 23-25, 2011 and Bollywood  is coming to Toronto, Canada. Toronto is hosting the International Indian Film Academy 2011 IIFA2011.  Will I be going for it? Yes!

And of course I would like to wear a sari but its the blouse I am contemplating upon.

A few years ago, a friend of mine designed a corset for me and I am totally in love with it, but I have always worn them with skirts and never teemed it with a sari. So wondering, whether I want to wear a  corset with the sari for this event.
