In November, one of my favorite fashion veterans of India, Masaba Gupta bid farewell to her position as creative director with Satya Paul (a well-established brand recognized for their innovation on contemporary prints, colors and a whole lot of fun) Initially, of course I was bittersweet when I had come across this news BUT when I heard of her final collaboration with Satya Paul… MY SOCKS WERE KNOCKED RIGHT OFF AND I SIMPLY COULD NOT EVEN DEAL. Yes. I express passion through caps when writing ha-ha.
Masaba’s final collaboration with Satya Paul included a third party; Disney. Yeap! A range of clothing and accessories that were gorgeously printed with Disney’s finest mascots; Mickey and Minnie Mouse called Monopop. Ummm hello. Child-hood flashing before my eyes and yes I am that 24 year old freak that is still obsessed with Mickey, Minnie, all of the Disney princesses and Disneyland. AND the moment she announced this collaboration … I absolutely lost all five senses and began blogging at 5am to express my excitement for her collection. I was so thrilled and then this happened …

AND of course I lost all five senses once again and anticipated for the days for the collection to be available for purchase online and when it was … you best believe I bought a damn Minnie Mouse saree! Which is what I ended up wearing to the Royal Wedding Expo on February 8th as I covered the event for KARMA.
Now as for my OOTD; I substituted the typical saree blouse with a leather bustier crop top that I purchased from GUESS? for that much needed refined appeal and edge that I was gearing towards. My fabulous hair and makeup artist, Amita Suranna from A/S Fusion Studios gave me a sultry smokey eye, subdued red lips and tossed curls. I have some pretty remarkable shots of my makeup from that afternoon and perhaps I will do a beauty breakdown of the products she used on me. Overall, I had a wonderful time at the Royal Wedding expo!! I haven’t received all the pictures from the event just yet but I will definitely put together a quick round-up once I do receive the images.

Oh my gosh I would give my right arm to own that sari. Do you know where I can see the full collection online?
LOL! Right?!! There are so many selections to choose from its mind boggling! I’ll edit the link into my post but here it is: http://www.satyapaul.com/disney-monopop-by-satya-paul.html
I want the whole collection! This is the best thing to happen to indian fashion in a long time.
I agree. I want another saree, chiffon blouse, the tunic, a few scarves, maybe even a tie or two hahaha.
She is such a stunning lady, but this is rather “interesting”. You have to be pretty gorgeous to pull this off without having people’s mouths drop.
Awww! That comment just made my day, thank you so much! Xo.
This is so sweeeet!!! I’ve never seen an elegant Disney garment in this way. I love it, and it looks great on you.
Thank you! She has so many other pieces as well .. I had quite the challenge narrowing down which I wanted!
You look AMAZING! Love this Sari and how you styled it!
Thank you doll! I am definitely STILL in love with this saree.
Oh.. You look incredible. Absolutely incredible. Hope you had a lovely time!
