Cayenne Pepper

Hey Loves! I hope life has been treating you well. I have been busy and focused on other things, so I have not posted as often. Summer has officially started for my son, so I have lots of fun activities to look forward to with him. The weather lately has been strange strange strange with many days gray and dark and then sunshine late in the day. Sunny days always put me in a better mood and there are plenty of those coming and a big heat wave. I love clear blue skies and sunshine, but not extreme heat, so I am not looking forward to the heatwave. Although I am not looking forward to the scorching days ahead, they do give me an excuse to go the beach:-)

My outfit today is simple and classic with a white button down shirt, jeans and a bold color POP from my red shoes. In a previous post I mentioned the color red being like Cayenne Pepper  and these shoes make me think of Cayenne Pepper because you only need a hint of it and fires up everything it touches, just like the color red. Do you agree?

Beautiful and unusual pieces of jewelry always catch my eye. I saw this bracelet at an Indian Boutique several years ago and it stood out, so I grabbed it

This pretty necklace was gifted to me by one of my sponsors and it is truly a statement piece that can be dressed up or down

There is just something sassy about a pair of red heels

Every woman has elements that make her style hers and hers alone. There are always little details that make up a woman's signature style that no one else can duplicate because her style is the essence of her authentic self

I love a great handbag. I have always seen my mother, my aunts and both of my grandmothers carry beautiful handbags, so I have always had an appreciation for them and for beautiful accessories. I love the color of this cognac, butterscotchy bag because it goes with just about everything in my wardrobe.

Have an amazing day!

Icing

Hey Loves! Since so many of you through your emails and comments express your appreciation for my accessories, I thought I would share some photos from previous posts that feature some of my most colorful, vibrant and unusual pieces. Beautiful jewels is something many covet and unique accessories is something we can't help but notice.

I think of jewelry and accessories like icing. A great cake can certainly stand on its own, but icing adds more flavor, depth and texture. Accessories are the same way. The right accessories can completely transform and elevate your look. I love eye catching jewelry and accessories and have acquired many beautiful pieces over the years.

The beautiful necklace here was a gift from my very first sponsor: Mimi Boutique

The unusual bracelet here came from an Indian Boutique in my old neighborhood

This unusual and one of a kind piece has a gorgeous array of colorful stones

Bold statement pieces have always been a part of my signature look

This ring is one of my favorites and goes with everything

These bangles with mint green are always perfect for spring and summer, but look great any time of year

This beautiful ring with gold and neutral copper stones blends seamlessly with anything

Love the bold colors on these bracelet

This pretty green ring looks amazing against neutral colors

This unusual pink ring and these colorful bangles are among my favorites and pink and orange is a combo I have always really loved

The neutral color of this Marc New York Bag makes it very versatile and easy to pair with lots of colors

 So how do you like to put on your Icing?

 Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. the past couple of weeks have been a blur. So busy, but managing to have a lot of fun too. My son turned 7 on March 30th and we had a blast by having a party with all of his friends. He was so excited! I just realized that it has been a week since I did a blog post and I have some great recipes to share. 

Lately, I have been spoiled by some of my friends treating me to some great dining experiences, so I have not been cooking quite as often as I usually do, but I am  back to whipping up delectable delights in the kitchen.  On another note, I am really enjoying the nice spring weather:-) I have been loving the way neutral colors look even though bold color has always been a part of my signature look.
