Top 5 Sites In India To Buy Plus Size Kurtas

     I usually prefer to opt for Indian wear when the weather turns super hot. Just cant bear to stuff myself in jeans or trousers! But give me a flowy kurta and a palazzo and I'm good to go :) It can be a real challenge to find pretty clothes especially when you belong to the heavier set. But don't worry as I'm going to sort you out by telling you about some of the online shopping sites you can turn to for buying plus sized kurtas. You have other options available with them too and they can take care of all your fashion related needs. So in no particular order lets check them out...

     Hey there! I have some news that I would like to share with you :) Recently I launched a brand new website/blog and I'm very excited about it. Though the main purpose for it was to document my professional work as an upcoming artist but I wanted to integrate that with my love for blogging. Hence you will find Fashion & Lifestyle related content there from now on. There will be some overlap with Sorelle Grapevine till that site takes off on its own but eventually SG will be all about the beauty. I hope you guys will show your love and support for this new venture as SG has grown steadily over the years due to you. There are some new ideas in the pipeline and a new fashion post is already up so use the link given below and head on down there!

     I admit it is so not the weather to be putting up this post but it has been lying in wait for its time in the sun and I had to put it out there. I got an invite to attend the Blender's Pride Fashion Tour this December. For a change it was quite cold in Kolkata this time around and I got a chance to wear this quilted overcoat I had picked up from the CIMA Art in Life exhibition last year. It set me back 4 grand but I really liked it and since it is reversible I get more bang for my buck that way. I love the over sized wooden buttons on it. These quilted coats (Rajasthan style) became quite a trend for the season and I saw them popping up in a lot of places in different styles and lengths. I loved the soft colors on this one and the floral print had me hooked. Paired with a basic black outfit and a statement necklace I was all set for the night.

     A short while back I was invited to attend the Eastern Round of the Indian Hairdressing Awards presented by L'Oreal Professional. It was an evening attire kinda event and I didn't know what to throw on. I ransacked my wardrobe like a maniac tossing aside clothes all over like a mad woman. The eternal "I-dont-have-a-thing-to-wear" syndrome plagued me while I sorted through my mountain of clothes. I spied this satin dress that I had bought a few years back on one of my trips and thanked the stars that made me buy it then...hmmm! I know what did...SALE! I picked this one up from Only during their sale period for....not 3k...not 2k....not even 1.5...I got this for around 900 bucks! Can you imagine!?!

     Hey guys! I want to quickly share with you what I wore to the recent Drops of Youth launch event. A little trivia of sorts before that...did you know that Ritu Kumar actually started her design journey from Kolkata. She opened her first boutique out here way back in the day ie a good 20 years or so ago. My Di was a lover of designer clothes and would buy stuff only from the boutiques spread out in the city. Back then there weren't mass clothes brands per say. Ritu Kumar was her favorite and I remember going to the Park Street store quite often. This jacket I'm wearing is one of my sister's Ritu Kumar pieces and was probably a part of a suit set. I love the detailing on it with its intricate Indian patterns and those rich blue hues.
