Just a touch of Red...........

"Hm!" That' the look on my face - as if I'm about to knock somebody out!!.........hahaha!
I've changed my diet up a bit and I've been a little more adamant about going to the gym so, therefore,  I'm a little bit more defined.............and I like that!

Ms. Aikasha is wearing an oringinal Ms. Aikasha floor length, full bias cut muslin skirt with diagonal red seaming; red & grey horizontal striped tube top and Valentino red leather and leopard print handbag.

Beverly Feldman  white leather jeweled kitten heeled thong sandals, multiple red beaded and porcelain bangles, 

............and a Cleopatra inspired red & gold neck adornment finished off today's ensemble 

Tip I: Good quality fruit is in abundance right now: peaches; mangoes; cherries; plums; melons. I highly recommend replacing one meal a day with fresh fruit - try it for a weekend, then just the week days, then for a whole week. You'll be surprised at the outcome. Your body will feel lighter and run far more efficiently (sounds like I'm talking about a car hehehehe!) But honestly, you'll feel better for it and lose a few unwanted pounds.
Tip II: Of course, working out, along with the diet change works wonders!!

Accordian Pleated Elegance

I usually like to wear a pendant or some kind of  necklace with a plunging neckline, but I thought my cleavage looked quite ample in this dress, so I decided against the neck adornments.

Ms. Aikasha is carrying a Juicy Couture 'ring bling' mauve leather handbag, and wearing a pair of Schutz tan suede wedge sandals with mauve patent leather ankle strap. (the strap on the shoes were the exact colour of the dress).

This  Max & Cleo mauve  poly blend, hi-lo accordion pleated maxi dress really spoke tons for itself - and it blew so gracefully in the wind - I love it!!

.........and when I saw the back detail of this dress - I was sold!!- how cute is that?!?

Nicely Neutral

As much as I love, Love, LOVE colours - my love for neutrals is probably just about equal

Granted, it's not often that you'll see me in beige, but sometimes, I like to change things up just a bit and chill out with an outfit that's nicely neutral

In all actuality, considering the current fashion trend, there's absolutely nothing neutral about neutral

Ms. Aikasha is wearing  Etro gold frame wayfarer sunglasses, chunky gold tone hoop earrings, chunky brown wooden bangles,  a nylon striped tank top (brand unknown)................

Oscar de la Renta beige alligator peep-toe sling back sandals, Tous brown leather and leopard print hair calf handbag

and an original Ms. Aikasha  beige raw silk pleated, wrap/bow waisted midi skirt

 Note: I call this skirt 'midi' because it's above my ankles. In my book, to qualify as a 'maxi' skirt, it would have to fall below the ankle.

I was a bit distracted as I was being photographed. It was a little windy and................

my son and photographer has graduated high school and will be heading off to college so I asked that he show my youngest son, the ropes......they were each being a bit moody.....I tell you......teenage boys - Arrrrgggghhhhh!!

Anyways, the weather has been amazing and I'm just loving it!! It'll take more that grumpy teenagers to affect my mood!
Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Cable & Gauge off white halter top with large gold tone chain link detail at the shoulder......

Silk Box  long green silk with gold  Chinese embroidery pencil skirt

Tom Ford over sized 'cat eyed' sunglasses; large gold tone hoop earrings

Swiss Legend white porcelain watch; bamboo, brass/wood bangles

Dolce & Gabanna  yellow canvas banana handbag with lime green leather trim; and Prada gold leather wedged thong sandals.

Tip: Summertime dressing allows you to keep it simple. A dress, or a long skirt and basic top is all you need. Add one or two chunky bangles, a pair of over-sized earrings and a touch of metal and you're good to go!!
