Embroidered in Kashmir

I'm sure many of you have heard of Kashmir but many of you may not know the absolutely exquisite handicrafts the people produce there which are quite famous in India. They are known as Kashmiri designs and are most commonly used on scarves and shawls. Amazingly, most of these designs are hand-stitched and often one of a kind. Unfortunately though the artisans sell it for very very cheap considering how much effort goes into one piece. Whenever we trip it to India, I always end up getting a few for myself and as gifts. These are a few of my favourite shawls and ponchos. That's right, ponchos. 





As you can see the details and designs are beautiful and the colours are usually very vibrant. Last time I was there I also picked up a beautiful embroidered bag which I forgot to photograph! Never fear, you'll probably see it pop up soon. I can't wait to show you guys some more traditional handicrafts!

Finally went and saw Pacific Rim with Mr. K and I don't care what anyone says, it was awesome. I love me a good monster movie. In other news I jumped on the camo bandwagon recently (something which I must admit I shunned and resisted for some time) and it ain't half bad.

Just Cavalli A/W 2013











I quite honestly gasped when I saw this collection.  The striking colour palette, the breathtaking prints and the quite obvious oriental influence. The man clearly knows what I want.

Mum and I are obsessed with Swarovski, especially their amazing necklaces and we almost always treat ourselves with something on every collection. We are very, very bad.
