Can this collection get any better?

This collection is the brainchild of Australian designer, Camilla Frank… her much anticipated Autumn/Winter 2013 collection is stunning!

Her collection carries her usual kaftans in the most beautiful jewel tones reflecting her global travels… reminds me of India!

Indian wedding fashion.

Time for another Indian wedding? What to wear?

Should I go the traditional lehenga route?

Opt for the sari and make mother and aunts happy?

Choose a more youthful attire?

Or completely forgo tradition and run with a modern approach?

My mom would disown me if I wore the above!
