End of monsoon usually marks the beginning of what we call,
the “Festive season” in India. Every state, every place has a grand festival to
celebrate. Today, I want to talk about the festival that is very close to my
heart. For me as a Bengali, Durga Puja has always been the biggest and most
important festival of all and it is not only a festival, because it is a buzz
that starts two months before the main 5 days. Those 5 days are nothing less
than a carnival!
Everyone wakes up to the sound of dhak flowing in through
the windows. The scent of dhunuchi and incense sticks all around the pandal,
people sincerely waiting every morning for the Pushpanjali to start and the
bhog to be served afterwards. The restlessness one feels to go for pandal
hopping during Puja is something one can understand only after experiencing it!
The rush you feel standing among thousands of people, the Grandeur, the over
the top decorations, the time artists and sculptors invest, oh the feeling! It
is nothing that can be described with words!
I have grown up in a place where these 10 days are
predominantly celebrated as Navratri. The same goddess is worshipped in a
different form and the people celebrate in a different manner! It is grand all the
same, but yes, a little different! But, there is another thing in common!
Dressing up and feeling your best! You can be celebrating
Durga Puja and going Pandal hopping or celebrating Navratri and enjoy playing
Dandiya all night, but you will be doing that dressed up in beautiful festive
clothing, I am sure of that! Hence, I bring you the festive collection by one
of my favorite Indian wear brands, BIBA.
The festive collection by BIBA has beautiful pieces for you
to feel good in! They believe in you feeling good in the clothes they have to offer,
they believe that it is YOU, who will make the clothes look better with your
personality and confidence! This collection has outfits in a variety of colors,
from pure whites to pretty pastels to fiery oranges and beautiful reds! And the
outfits are mostly available in trendy Indian silhouettes, but you can find
classic outfits as well! I particularly liked a Pastel green anarkali with gold
embroidery, but I loved this outfit more.

| OUTFIT - C/O BIBA Earrings - Borrowed from Mom |
The red long top and lehenga skirt set caught my attention
because of the zipped top and the beautiful fiery red color, which is perfect
for wearing on Ashtami! I kept the look simple with just a big golden jhumka to
compliment the gold prints on the lehenga and the embroidery on the top. The outfit was beautiful enough to make me
feel the same on its own!
Do check out the festival collection of BIBA and let me know
your views! Also let me know what you think about this outfit!
Have a Joyous and lovely Durga Puja and Navratri!
Loads of love,
