All About the Amber necklace

Most people who know me also know that orange is my favorite colour. Ok - I get we're not in kindergarten and the whole favorite colour thing is really a thing you'll hear from children. But this grown woman right here just loves colours and orange is at the top of her colour chart!!

Why the back story? Just so I can introduce this beautiful amber necklace which, ironically, is orange. Real amber is natural - it's actually tree sap that has hardened over hundreds (or million) of years and then formed/chiseled by craftsmen. I bought this piece from a vendor at a street fair this Spring, and while I doubt that it's real, I had to have it, and I  knew that it absolutely had to be the focal point my outfit - hence the all black ensemble.
Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Moda International by Victoria Secrets long sleeved rayon swing sheer sweater with vinyl patch pocket;   a large Lucite neon orange bangle; Ci Sono black velvet leggings; Tous  leopard print hair calf and brown leather handbag; and black leather Gucci loafers.


Tom Ford  over sized cat eye sunglasses, and a pair of over sized gold tone hoop earrings topped off the outfit, literally!

The Niceness of Navy


I am blessed, grateful, and I feel truly privileged to be a daughter of God.
I've experienced hardship, suffered physically, emotionally, and financially - but my God pulled me through - Everytime!!
Sometimes when I'm praying, I get so emotional because I'm so moved by His power and His love.
I try not to loose perspective of my current circumstances - which, by the way - are very, very good. I  remind myself how things were..................and now............how things are - and I get all warm and fuzzy inside :)
God loves us unconditionally - and trust - we really have no idea what that means!!
Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Transit navy blue poly/rayon 'slip' dress; Sergio Rossi navy blue pointy toed sling back high heeled pumps, and Tom Ford gold tone sunglasses;  

A unique amber/bone necklace; oversized coil gold tone hoop earrings; a large orange Lucite cuff; and an orange & brown silk 'tissue' weight  scarf.

Prada  brown leather 'Danio' rings satchel and Latico brown and beige oversized handbag (used here as an overnight bag), finished off today's ensemble
Note: A few posts ago I made reference to my white Sergio Rossi sling backs being a sad shade of mushroom! So I took them to the cobbler; had them dyed navy blue and "Voila"!! My SR slingbacks are reincarnated!! and I love, Love, LOVE them just as much!!
