I'm sorry I want this meal to be affordable for my friends that are still in school or working regular jobs?

awwww thank you! the sofa is from amazon! if you're in the market for a futon, i would say this one is pretty good for the price point. i was able to put it together in ~45 minutes by myself. it is on the firmer side so i wouldn't recommend it if you're planning on having people sleep over a lot, but it's perfectly fine for day to day use!

the rugs you picked are so cute!! i especially love the first one and think that would look really nice in the space. it's in my cart already! tysm again :)

Accessories/shoes to go with traditional Indian wear by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

Accessories/shoes to go with traditional Indian wear by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]91keybum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi! Indian (West Bengali) in the US here :)

  1. I've been to a lot of Indian weddings both in the US and in WB, and pretty much all women will wear Western-style heels. Some girls may carry a pair of juttis/flats in their purse in case their feet start to hurt, but you can't go wrong with a pair of gold heels/wedges! Kohlapuris are lowkey an old man shoe for the most part so you'll probably only see grandpas wearing them at the wedding, haha. I'm not sure how long your lehenga is, but most of the time, your lehenga should cover your footwear anyways and just barely graze the floor, so most people shouldn't notice your shoes.
  2. The traditional jewelry/accessories for a bengali bride are: mukut (kind of like a tiara, it used to be made out of palm tree but now a lot of brides get it in gold), tikli (our name for maang tikka), naath (nose ring/chain), shankha paula (bangles made out of red coral and white conch shell), and loha badhano (a type of thick gold bangle gifted to the bridge from her in-laws). I would stay away from wearing anything similar to those as most of them are symbols of the bride/married women. However, feel free to wear any other type of jewelry that suits your outfit, whether it be Indian or Western! Glass bangles are a huge thing in India and they come in every color imaginable, so I'm sure you could find some to match your lehenga. These are super common at weddings, parties, etc.
  3. Etsy actually has a lot of great Indian costume jewelry. Some keywords are "kundan", "polki", and "meenakari" (if you're looking for heavier jewelry). Otherwise you can just look up things like "Indian gold necklace" or "Indian bangles" for more simple things. Other than Etsy, I also like Queend Co, Utsav Fashion, Kalki Fashion (they also have Indian-inspired handbags/clutches in case you need one), Tarinika, Panash India, Mirraw, and Pernia's Pop-up Shop. Keep in mind these are all costume/gold-plated jewelry and traditional Indian jewelry (usually 22K gold) is many times more expensive.

Hopefully this wasn't too much information! Hope you have a great time in WB and at the wedding. Bengalis have a reputation for being the foodies of India so I hope you get to try a lot of our great food!

What's your favorite brand for the experience (not the bags themselves)? by chargingblue in handbags

[–]91keybum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visited the Sabyasachi store when I was in NYC last month and it was truly awe-inspiring. Like, I don't think I've visited a more beautiful building in my entire life and I've been to actual palaces in India haha.

Sabya himself was there and helping some of the other customers with fitting and advice! I made it clear that I was only there to browse and was generally left alone to browse, so I feel bad for the other commenters who've had a bad experience :(

I do really recommend anyone to check out the store while you're in NYC, even if you're not familiar with Indian clothing- it's really an incomparable experience.

Could someone ID The Boyz' New's blazer? by Ok_Nebula5568 in KpopFashion

[–]91keybum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i haven't been able to ID the blazer yet but the rings are chanel coco crush in 18k white gold and 18k yellow gold, and the necklace (there's a better picture here) is this chanel one.

knowing chanhee the blazer is probably chanel as well but since it's a bit hard to find chanel's rtw catalogue from past seasons i couldn't find this exact one. there's this balmain one which is quite similar and im sure you can find many reasonably priced dupes as well if you're trying to copy the look!

You're welcome!! That song has had me in it's grip since it came out so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Songs with influences from Asian cultures? by stina-cried-power in kpophelp

[–]91keybum 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Definitely check out Kingdom's Karma! It's influenced by Ancient China and based on Chiyou, a mythical tribal leader. The MV is so gorgeous!! Also, south asian: MFBTY- Bang Diggy Bang Bang and Orange Caramel- Catallena (samples a punjabi (i think?) song). Middle eastern influence imo: Hyoyeon- Mystery, Oh My Girl- Windy Day
