The softness of pink


Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Vakko gold leather coat, Michael Kors pale pink leather handbag, Rebecca Taylor pink leather glitter ankle wrap pumps..................

Victoria Secrets cotton/acrylic/cashmere blend drop waist knit dress..............

an x-tra long polyester blend dusty rose scarf my daughter Ny brought me from Jamaica about five years ago

a mother of pearl pendant and small red agate earrings were the minimal jewelry accessories

Tip: At a time when everyone is wearing the 'fit & flare' dress that flares from the waist, this dress flaring from the hip stood apart.............very nicely

It's almost mid October and we're still getting 75 degree weather - trust - I am ecstatic!!

The mornings are a bit chilly, as are the evenings, but since I'm stuck in the office during the course of the day, when I get an opportunity to step out and catch some sun, I seize the moment.

Ms Aikasha is wearing a Rachel Roy  knee length red/black cotton tweed open back cardigan, Appraisal black zipper pocket walking shorts, Calvin Klein black cotton tank top



BCBG Max Azria black leather and suede peep-toe booties and Valentino oversized red leather and animal print handbag

Sweater Weather

The seasonal shift has been gentle this year. It's gradually getting cooler, but at a pace that's totally manageable

The short sleeved sweater is the perfect piece of clothing for this time of year and works well with jeans, trousers, or maxi, midi, (or as I'm doing here) mini skirt.

Ms. Aikasha is wearing an Eric + Lani black printed short sleeved rayon sweater, Edun white cotton denim mini skirt......


Charles Jourdan orange and tan leather alligator embossed handbag and Manolo Blanik teal suede "BB" pumps

A single drop pearl earrings, mixed media bangles and Mac Cosmetics "Retro Matt Ruby Red"  lipstick were the accessories (I don't usually mention my make-up but I'm really loving this new shade of lipstick right now)

I've been a bad, bad, girl. It's been more than a month - like a month and half - since I last posted. And while the temperatures outside are considerably cooler - here I am in a sundress - because this pic is at least six weeks old!!

Yes, my life is hectic, and yes, I've been extremely busy. But blogging had become a part of my routine that I'd embraced and adapted to over the past two years. Somehow, however, it has been phasing out!

The thing is that I actually enjoy this part of my life. It allows me to sit for a minute, escape from my day-to-day routine, and just share my thoughts on something I really, really love - FASHION.
So, therefore, going forward, I'll make a concerted effort to maintain my blogging responsibilities :)  
Granted, my blogging won't be daily - but it definitely will not be monthly.

Ms. Aikasha is wearing a green floral silk chiffon flutter hemmed Sue Wong sundress, Joan & David cream woven leather chunky heeled mules, and Stars on Mars Jewelry Co rose quartz necklace (a mother's day gift from my daughter Ade). Small black onyx pear shaped earrings and a Swiss Legend  white porcelain watch minimally accessorized the ensemble
