And so it begins!
In Canada, there is a saying: "it's either winter, or construction." While that is very true, so is this: in Canada, it's either winter, or shaadi season. Over the next eleven days, I have eight wedding events to attend. Nine including the event that I attended last week. Which of course leads directly to the: "what… Continue reading And so it begins!

Top 3 Ready-to-wear Shops in Lahore
Most of the clothes I got for my "jahez" (bridal trousseau) were ready-to-wear.
