Which means many many trips in a year to Jaipur.(We are from there)
Well,I love the place (except in the summer)
Its open and beautiful. I love how- Indian,if you might say,or traditional everything is.
The walls,architecture,food etc. etc.
Its a sickness I have-I have to shop wherever I go.
It could be buying just a little souvenir,but I have to get something back from the place.
Being the accessory lover that I am-Jaipur is heaven-in a totally different and unique style from the kind of things you get all over the world.
The accessories are less fashion related and more traditional. (which,if you ask me-if put sensibly with an outfit could be shockingly fashionable)
The oxidized earrings or 'jhumkas' are a must have for traditional wear.(They have it in every size,so your ears are saved from dying an untimely death with the excess weight of the earring)
The 'payals' and 'lakh' earrings at 'Badi Chaupad' are simply gorgeous!And very very affordable.

| 'lakh' earrings |
The Cottons store there too,unlike Mumbai or any of its other outlets has very Jaipuri designs.
They have thick bangles made of 'ghungrus' (typical of Rajasthan) and chunky neck pieces with stones or caricatures of elephants and camels.
Toe rings, called 'bichhiyas' over there are widely available at 'Badi Chaupad'
'Saraogi Mansion' has the hugest collection of bangles.
Ranging from plain 'kadas' to blingy bangles to bridal bangles-you name it and they have it.
This in a way explains why the sales staff in the sop look at you like you have a mental disorder when you ask for a particular colour of bangles.
They have a 100 different shades in every colour.
They mix and match,according to your garment(if any,in particular) or your taste-and make the prettiest set of bangles.
