Summer Fun - July 20th
Nothing is more special than a glowing, tanned and gorgeous bride to be!
Sorboni Banerjee's wedding to Jarrod, much awaited, in October. Last week, we had an initial fitting with some of her bridesmaids. Including Anne Allred from Channel News 7 News. We started with some tea and munchies for the girls at 2 p.m. The dresses are all one of a kind, made from sari fabrics that were cut up for the borders which are woven with intricate gold patterns and vibrant jewel tones. We tried on of the dresses and pinned for perfect fit. Meanwhile, the ladies shopped and modeled Shubrah.com's Spring/Summer 09 collection and bought some fashions! I can't post any of the pictures of the dresses being custom made for the wedding as yet. That will happen in Oct after the wedding.
But we took some pictures of the girls at tea!On another note, the lilies in my garden are bursting with color and I could not resist adding a few pictures of them! So inspiring, the color and the mood of the garden! I noticed a lot of purple flowers in bloom too--lavender, hasta, morning glory, nicely offsetting the lilies and the marigolds. I filled vases with the bounty from the garden.
A great day at Tanglewood yesterday, Mozart, green lawns, brie and sunshine.
Happy 4th of July
School is out and the biggest holiday of the summer is upon us. Whether you’ll be spending your July 4th at a barbecue, watching fireworks, or at the Boston Pops, make sure you put your best fashion foot forward. Check out some styles below for Independence Day inspiration.
Stars and stripes in black and white! Sport a festive striped dress, with white stripes like our flag, and black stripes to supplement with and elegant flair. A simple powder blue shirt with khaki shorts in a casual but dapper look for men.
Not casual enough? Nothing is as American as classic T-shirt.

Trunk Show This Weekend
Hopefully everyone had pleasant Memorial Day weekend, spent with friends and family. With the festivities of the long weekend as just a preview of things to come, spend some time this upcoming weekend boosting your wardrobe at the Shubrah trunk show!
If you did not get to see the spring collection at this past weekend’s TIECON fashion show, check out the designs firsthand this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Lexington. Not only will you be able to sample the designs found online at shubrah.com, but also some of these one-of-a kind caftans.
Something light, airy, and eye-catching to wear throughout the summer months will turn heads everywhere you go. During the summer, you may not want to fuss over elaborate accessories and shoes. Throw on a comfortable caftan; with elegant patterns and construction, you won’t have to worry about adding much more your outfit.
Pick up a unique piece that no one else is sure to have. With collections for men, boys, and girls, don’t forget to browse for the family and friends either. Better yet, just bring them with you!
Just because summer is filled with lazy days, doesn’t mean your clothes should be lazy too. The Shubrah trunk show will feature carefully embroidered and embellished necklines and details.
Hope to see you at the trunk show!

Spring Is Here
"April showers bring May flowers, so be prepared for flower power in the Spring/ Summer 09 collection, launching on May 1st. The Green Generation was the global theme for Earth Day this year and we are doing our bit! The fashion accessory of the season is the scarf.
What can do you with a scarf, other than tie it around your neck? (For those who are depressed about the economy....we would not suggest that approach!). Well, we have numerous ways of wearing a scarf, of draping it, pinning it, creating a whole new look for a new season.
You can tie it like a halter, drape it like a one shoulder blouse (we suggest putting a camisole under it for an under the jacket office look), or wearing like a skirt/ sarong. Its great for traveling, gift giving, dressing up or down. Come up with your own variation on what you can do with a scarf that brings sunshine into your wardrobe.
Send us an e-mail with pictures. One way to break out of your tired winter look - wrap a scarf with bright colors or flowers over a pretty silk dress or cotton tee- without breaking your favorite piggy bank!
Our new collection is all about color and beautiful fabrics...vibrant colors and embroideries, eco-friendly fabrics, what else can we do to come out smelling like roses? Giving you a peek at the new looks, which we will be ready to launch on May 2nd.
Here's to a green earth, (green is the new black- in case you did not get the memo) and your new summer look!"
