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! 

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?!?
