4. Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla:

Bridal wear is chock-full of embroidery, appliqué, delicate beading, and the like. But options are minimal for the minimalist bride. Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla attempts to create that missing factor in bridal couture, but with a fresh slash. Khosla finely uses mirror work, gota, and chikankari that feels interesting during execution. He stated “Our quintessential bride is a woman who knows both her mind and her heart. Her wedding is a joyous celebration, which calls for fantasy and fabulosity, as defined by her.”

5. Anamika Khanna:

Anamika Khanna has a flair for weaving traditional and contemporary surrealism. Both her homegrown textiles and print motifs are a surprise upon close introspection for most brides. Think a splatter of bling-free embroidery or a textural inspired designs, and organic creations. Consistently inspired by the modern art of state, her designs feel equal parts sartorial and luxe.

Sometimes I forget I own heels. And I love me some heels. Perhaps I just feel obligated to wear mostly boots since that white stuff keeps falling on the ground.
But I found these amazing tights are Nordstrom Rack and they happen to be the warmest tights I've ever worn. So that's great news, right! Now that not-so-great-news...I don't remember what brand they are. Because if I did, I'd be searching the web up and down for another pair.
But if I ever do find out, you better believe I'll tell ya!
