Ms. Aikasha is wearing an Express grey cashmere funnel neck sweater, XXii yellow cotton racer-back tank, Connection 18 grey velvet leggings, Laurie b. cream coloured bubble hem, hooded, lined cardigan, Mazzini cream leather handbag and Patrizia Pepe grey suede down quilted high heeled boots. A variegated yellow rayon scarf, yellow leather belt, gold shoulder duster earrings, and yellow and grey bangles accessorize this warm, cozy (and sassy) look.

 It’s been a week since my last post – a lot  has happened

I think Hurricane Sandy caught a few of us off guard. To all those who experienced loss of power, flooding, or any kind of property damage, I’m really sorry and hope you’re able to recover and regain comfort. My family and I were fortunate and only of couple of us lost power for a very short time……..we were and are truly Blessed. Since power outages, poor internet connection, and disrupted service to mass transit prevented us from going to work/school, we used the unexpected time off as an opportunity to commune, which was really, really nice.

 

Tip: Wearing a belt when wearing a sweater thats not fitted can give the appearance of a 'peplum' hem - which works since it's all about the peplum right now. This is also a really smart way to utilize a sweater that has lost its shape in the wash, or just over time..........

 

Tip II: 'Shades of grey' is generally considered very conservative. Add a touch/pop of colour and it's now contemporary

 

Tip III: Tying your scarf in a bow is a nice change every now and then {although I do it quite often :)}
