On a recent online shopping trip to find the perfect gift for my cousin’s bridal shower, I came across this peacock porcelain dinnerware. Since my ancestors are from India, I know I may be a bit partial to anything reminiscent of the country, but these gilded beauties from Anthropologie are too exquisite not to share. And their gold trim gives them an extra touch of class. I just hope my cousin won’t mind hand washing her dishes!

Ancient Indian architecture has always fascinated me. There’s something magical, and even a bit romantic about it. My parents recently returned from traveling through Northern India, where Indian, Persian and Islamic architectural styles are flawlessly combined in breathtaking structures. Here are some pictures from their trip…
Stunning and perfectly symmetrical, the Taj Mahal was completed in 1653. I had the chance to visit this beauty when I was still in elementary school. Unfortunately, the only thing I remember is thinking it’s the biggest building I’ve ever seen.
The rest of these structures look like they’re taken right out the pages of an Indian fairytale.
What architectural styles from around the world fascinate you?
