A JUMP OF JOY - SHADES OF ORANGE

Jumping for Joy is to be extremely happy in that moment. Do not dwell on the past do not dream of the future concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Buddha). 

Did you know that the color orange is related to the sacral chakra which supports your ability to feel joyful creative and energetic.

I taught yoga that morning, so I suppose that my sacral chakra was highly stimulated cause all I wanted to do was to jump. Maybe it was because by the vast amount of orange pieces of clothing which I am wearing.

I suppose from my much continuous study of yoga and the chakra I do believe that the colors of clothing we wear have a deeper connected part to our feelings and emotions.

Which color do you wear that you think response or connected to a deeper part of yourself?

Today I choose the spirited color of orange. 

Here is an affirmation for you which response to the sacral chakra

I love my life

I am a creature of joy and light

I honor my body and treat myself respectably

I trust my feeling and give them room for expression

I receive pleasure and abundance with every breath that I take.

I am grateful of the joy of being me.

Goodness, beauty and joy resonate in my soul.

Rest and play help keeps me healthy.

I embrace my sensuality and sexuality 

I am joyful, spontaneous and creative

I go with the flow with ease and grace.

For more affirmation,  you can check Louise Hay’s Book on How to Heal Your Life. I am a continous reader and healer. It is such a Great Book!

A DAY OF MY LIFE - YELLOW WITH CREAM TONES

On that day, I taught my usual yoga lesson; My eyes are bit tired; dark shadows visible and so are late nights. Ok, Ermine, get yourself together. The blog needs update. Let’s do it.

The yellow coat adds an extra shine to the otherwise awfully grey morning. I wore two cream cardigan to give my body extra heat and I am still wearing the t-shirt that I wore from my yoga lesson. Sweaty!

The printed cotton pants is a winter purchase but I will definitely rock it throughout the summer.

I am wearing some malas too. After all, I have just taught a yoga lesson reciting all the ohm mantras. To be fair, malas on my wrist is an everyday style for me anyways. You know me, the wrists just can’t be empty. The merrier, the better.

Finally, a gold touch on my feet to keep me shining throughout the day. I was wearing

SWING WITH LIFE - SPLASH ON COLOUR

Sometimes all you need is a splash of colour

xo

Sun is out, so why not be outside! It is winter after all so cozy up, enjoy, and embrace the sunshine since the days are so short.

The dress I am wearing is a wool mix with angora. I did forget that angora against my skin is not a happy medium. I knew that when I first bought it but that I was able to disguise that sometime every now again prick feeling. The trick is to wear a long sleeves long undress like a soft cotton t-shirt to prevent this. Great thing is, I do not have to wear it everyday.

I added layers of dainty chains to brighten the front and to give the dress a bit of a personality. Added the purple meets maroon tights, to up light the cream dress. It is always good to add some colour, even a shade that you will not dare to try. Go on and try it, it might just lighten up your mood and put a spring in your step. Go on and surprise yourself, if adding vibrant colours are to daring, start by wearing a piece of jewelery. 

The key to adding colour to a bland item of clothing is that the total combine pieces of clothing has to synchronize, like your shoes with your bag, or your lipstick with your earrings etc.  

The shade of blue within the scarf gives the black coat a fresh feeling. The scarf works well and the shade of purple in the beanie comes back into the tights. The coat is simple, elegant, and full of movement. The boots gives the outfit that edgy look. 

To me this outfit is playful, simple, chic, feminine and edgy. I like adding different elements to my outfits since I think it compliments my personality.  Forgot to steam my sweater. (lol)

EMBELLISH VINTAGE COAT - CHRISTMAS DAY DAY OUTFIT

People who take fashion seriously are idiots

Joan Rivers

               

Today is christmas, well not right now since I didn't actually finished this post on that day, too busy cooking.  

Just a little run down about this day or more less around the time these photos were taken.

We we were on our way to grab a coffee before we had to head off back home for some christmas preparation.

All in all the day turn out to perfect, it started off well and ended perfectly…A little squabble here and there with the children  since they always try to rattle your feathers and you have to contain your self to stay calm since you have guests at the table…

Thank you

It was great weather for an outdoor shoot, the combination of an emblish skirt which is wearable for a day wear as well as evening.

I added a fun printed grey casual sweater underneath the jacket also beneath the sweater I am wearing a charcoal grey silk shirt. To keep my legs warm I wore matt grey tights with strappy shoes. I wore one earring and chunky silver necklace to give my outfit that funky rock and roll feeling. On my hair I wore a  diamante pin to give me a girly feminine touch. 

Skirt wearable day/evening

Sweater is casually chic with the silk shirt 

Silk shirt with ribbon add feminity to the look
I am also wearing a silver belt to clinch in my waist

Statement Jewerly to make my outfit funky and stoer

The beaded bracelets are my designs and style,  but with this outfit it works well since red with grey makes a great combination.

The cream cropped makes the looks more sophiscately elegant.
