Not sure who this exotic interesting women is. It may be that she is related to Mr Lomb (as in Bauch and Lomb) because she is wearing one of their contact lenses.
Too much jewelry is taking the focus away from the saree but may that is by design.

Nice designer inspired Saree – Ummm, I think it is “inspired” from one of the Satya Paul’s sarees.
Love the blouse design, the color combo of black and white, blue and purple!

Above is another beautiful vintage image from the Life Magazine archives.
I love golden zari on sheer white sarees! The period image at the top of the post is a perfect example of how the classic combination of gold and white can be photographed in black and white, and still exude a luminous, even spititual, quality. This image was taken in Mysore in the 1940s for a story on the castes and cultures of India.
Below the puja picture is a modern publicity shot, (which I’d normally not include), from a new South Indian film. While it doesn’t have the etherial glow of the older photo, I love to see elephants on sarees, and had to include it on my historic post. The actress is quite pretty, and shows off a different look in her gold zari work on white, just for comparison.
And as you may have guessed if you read my Sunday posts, I have added an elephant-design saree from Kerala to my growwing collection of traditional cotton sarees. I’ll wear it this summer when the weather gets up to triple digits and I want to look cool and classically beautiful.

Antramali Saree – unwrapped border
Very strong, bold and slender and hip look. I like the way the border has been wrapped around to create a layered look which is different than the layer look a saree provides.
