Our jaws just keep dropping when we get these beautiful images from our latest brides’ wedding! She told us from the very beginning that she wanted to celebrate her wedding with very close friends and family in a secluded area. Anokhi searched a variety of places before she found her dream wedding villa in Costa Rica. It was the perfect place to have an extremely intimate wedding with her friends and family, but still have the wedding she had always envisioned. Anokhi came to us looking for an extremely unique reception outfit. She didn’t want to wear a saree or lengha, but something that was a great “in between”. She stumbled upon one of our custom gowns Ruby made a couple of months prior to her finding.

We knew this gown would be perfect for her because it was extremely unique. Ruby spent quite of time on designing the aesthetic of this gown. She used intricate details along with sheer nude “cut outs”. Ruby also created a beautiful ombre effect that would be perfect for any destination wedding that was at the beach. The nudes flowed into a gorgeous sky blue with a great high low effect. Anokhi felt this was THE dress to have to at her destination wedding. I mean do you not agree?!

Here are some great images from her wedding by Nadia D Photography. We also included her amazing wedding highlights video by Jonathan Yonkers Videography.

It’s all about big and bold this summer, but not just with your outfits! Every seasons there are ways to stay trendy with your lipstick! Which trend will you try?!

All Things Red: The spring was filled with nude or pastel lips, but now the red lip is THE lip color to wear this summer. Whether it’s a pink red to the deep plum red it’s all the range this summer. Here are some of our favorite lipsticks to pull of this trend:

Yves Laurent Rouge Volupte; MAC Russian Red; Beauty Is Life Hot Red Lipstick

Rock those Cat Eyes: Eye liner or bold eyeliner is all the rage this summer. The retro flicked eyeliner is the way to rock that sexy cat eye. BCBG and Roberto Cavalli runways dominated this look. We are also loving how Cavalli used eye shadow to create that flicked look!

Lashes: The season is all about lashes! We have seen the runways full of curled bodacious lashes and even some of them are “painted on” with eyeliner!

Brows: We have not seen such bold brows in ages. Whether you are going to grow them our pencil them in; its all about filling in them thicker and bigger!

Tweet at us if you try any of these looks!

I will be back soon!

Featured Customer: Dr. Geeta Nayyar CMIO for AT&T

April 15th, 2013

We are really excited to blog about our latest customer, Dr. Geeta Nayyar. Dr. Nayyar moved to Miami over a year ago and is working full time with AT&T while part time at her practice. She is the Chief Medical Information Office for AT&T and currently guides their health portfolio’s strategy. Modern Healthcare has named her one of the “Top 25 minority Healthcare Executives” and one “Top 8 Women to watch for in Healthcare”. She is also a member for American College of Rheumatology and the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems.

Dr. Nayyar has been a rockstar since she was young! She got into medical school right out high school at the age of 17 at the University of Miami. Then she started her residency at George Washington University and also completed her fellowship there as well, in rheumatology. Dr. Nayyar did not have a clear idea of what she wanted to do clinically, but without doubt she did not expect all of her efforts would have taken her to become the CMIO at AT&T! Once she completed her fellowship at GW she decided to take it one step further by getting her MBA. She took on a variety of projects that included how to improve EMR or Electronic Medical Records for patients and doctors. Her background with revenues and accounts receivables from her MBA gave her an outside perspective on how to resolve these issues.

She currently has been the CMIO for over a year now, “I’ve really enjoyed working for AT&T because it’s a company with so much breadth and scalability. There’s a lot of opportunity to make an impact on the industry in a significant way. It’s been great because my role is a new role, so it’s been fun to craft it and shape it.”

Dr. Nayyar is currently on the board for HIMSS board of directors and is helping to hold the annual conference banquet.

The HIMSS Awards Banquet is a time for celebration and for recognizing members who have added their unique sparkle and verve to the industry. Lifetime achievement, scholarship programs, activities and publications — HIMSS honors individuals, groups and organizations for significant contributions to the Society, their organizations or to the health IT profession. Come toast their accomplishments at this year’s elegant event!

Dr. Nayyar came to us looking for an outfit that she could wear at this year’s banquet. She was specifically looking for something that was modern, but elegant. We were honored she came to us to help represent her at this banquet.

Thank you Dr. Nayyar for choosing Silk Threads to represent all of the wonderful work you do in the medicinal world. We are so thankful we could help you in any way. How gorgeous does she look in her saree?

Chandni Parikh tweeted at us letting us know how much she misses being on the runway and it inspired us to do a feature about her story!

Chandi Parikh is currently a Freshman at UTD studying neuroscience and biology. This made me extremely curious to know how she started participating in fashion shows. Ironically, her first fashion show was on March 22nd, 2012 at the Silk Threads Bridal Fashion Show. I asked Chandni what made her want to participate in our fashion show initially:

I honestly used to be so distant from such events as I had never been in one. I would watch from afar on America’s Next Top Model or Bollywood. I’m a dancer at heart, I never expected myself to be in one. However, my thoughts and my future completely changed when I entered in the Miss South Asia Texas Beauty Pageant. I was awestruck when I won the pageant and was crowned with the title of Miss South Asia Texas. I gained an infinite amount of confidence, strength, and determination. That’s when I thought that I can’t just stop here. I have to climb the mountain higher. So I really love doing fashion shows, because it reminds me that everything great happens with one step, big or small. Being a dancer, I feel there are many similarities, such as poise, coordination, discipline, and above all grace.

She decided wear a Silk Threads bridal outfit because she initially met Ruby at the pageant and they connected right off the bat. I asked why why she wanted to wear a Silk Threads outfit and she explained, “I knew that Silk Threads had beautiful clothing, so I literally felt like a Queen in the Silk Threads outfits.”

Thank you Chandni for your kind words and now check out that gorgeous outfit!
