From Strandofsilk.com | It's time to go floral

Dear all,

As it often happens, I was navigating Strand of Silk website.. when I got captured by one the grey headings on top of the page : "Go Floral This Season!" - it said.

The first thing that I loved as soon as I landed on the article was the picture:
The beautiful Sonam Kapoor, which usually wears Indian long gown dresses on the red carpet, in beautiful white dress with floral motifs.
(See picture below)


"Floral motifs are what can be called a classic in terms of motifs. It is like having a white shirt in your wardrobe. They have been used starting from the Middle Ages till today and will continue to be used until the end of time. Though this is such a widely used motif, it is interesting how designers have been able to create so many variations of it. So many years and still new kinds of floral prints every season, isn’t that amazing?"

Cool, right? Read the rest of the article here!!
