jammy time!

Speaking of India, I wanted to tell you about a really cool organization, the International Princess Project. They have an after care facility in India for women that have been rescued from prostitution. They created a little business called Punjammies where the women make pajamas for fair trade wages. They have beautiful pj pants made of colorful and patterned fabric from India as well as soft organic cotton t shirts. One of my friends did some modeling for them, it's a really awesome cause!

gorgeous

 MORE India inspiration via Anthropologie.

Check out this link it has a lovely little description of their time visiting, the inspiration and is loaded with gorgeous photos. There's also a slideshow of photos here.
Apparently there's a 6-hour BBC documentary called "The Story of India". It's going on my list! You must know by now that BBC makes the best documentaries AND I love pretty much anything that england does.

Here's some of their travel tips:

Colorful

It's a given that anthropologie will produce beautiful catalog shoots. But the one for May might be my favorite. It was all shot on location in India! One place that is at the top of my travel list. The brilliant architecture, bright colors and intricate patterns take my breath away. I would love to wander the street markets, sipping some chai and admiring those ancient buildings.
