Happy Father’s Day Message!

Today we want to acknowledge the father’s who’ve not only been there but have played an active and inspirational role in their children’s lives.

Much like mother’s day we pay homage on this day acknowledging their efforts and sacrifice in raising their kids to be the best individuals they can be.

Unfortunately today is also a day where some would rather bash the non-existent father. Although it’s been statistically proven, more father’s are likely to walk away from their responsibilities there are some mother’s who’ve also given up on their parental duties. But that’s not what this message is for.

It’s father’s day! Period. Acknowledge and appreciate the men who’ve embraced their responsibility or who’ve taken that on of another.

Dads, like moms, we appreciate you! Happy father’s day! Enjoy.

The Perfect Easter Outfit

Remember, I’ve told you tangerine is the color for the season, and, it comes in many different shades, which can give you more options for an outfit. Here’s one way to stay atop the trends and look your Easter Sunday best. A white blazer is a great finish for this plain shift dress from TopShop. This shade of tangerine is also among the long list of pastel colors great for the season with a pair of white pumps to top off your Easter Sunday best.

On another note, you can opt for another trend popular around this time of year, and that is, floral patterns. Keeping it simple is key here. For example, this yellow floral patch dress has all the pattern you’ll need to pull off this look. You can also opt for a lace material, like the one below, made with a floral pattern design.

Like mentioned above, a blazer is the perfect finish for a sleeve less dress. It adds sophistication while dressing up your outfit. TopShop has great selections like these pleated tuck neck dresses, which comes in a variety of colors. My advise, you can’t go wrong with a pastel colors like the shift pink dress in our template below. They’re typically the most common shades worn around this time of year and so is the case for Easter. Or if you’re feeling daring, going against the grain, opt for money green. It may not be the color of the season but pleated dresses are in, you’ll still be keeping up with the trends!

Happy Easter everyone and stay fashionable!

The Eight Commandments of Easter Hats

I decided at age 7 that when I turned 30 I would dawn the biggest, most decorated, church hat any one had ever seen on Easter. Thirty just seems like a grown age, even now, and I am keeping a countdown. These are just rules I made up in my mind but the tradition of beautiful hats on Easter in a “black” church spreads far and wide.

The tradition began when the Apostle Paul suggested women cover their heads when entering a worship service. Head coverings have evolved from simple pieces of fabric to amazing multi colored, ribbon laden, flower adorned head pieces of wonder. There are rules to this thing – because there’s a difference between a hat that turns heads and a hat that turns heads away with snickering.

Ehow.com had an article about the eight commandments of hat wearing (below). Keep these rules in mind if you are out searching for the perfect outfit for service next weekend!

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: The Memorial

3. Martin Luther King, Jr., a civil rights act...

Washington, DC (January 16, 2012) – On the National Mall in Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. is a towering, heroic figure carved in stone. On the Broadway stage, he’s a living, breathing man who chain smokes, sips liquor and occasionally curses.

As Americans honor King’s memory 44 years after he was assassinated, the image of the slain civil rights leader is evolving.

The Memorial

The new King memorial, which opened in August in the nation’s capital, celebrates the ideals King espoused. Quotations from his speeches and writings conjure memories of his message, and a 30-foot-tall sculpture depicts King emerging as a “stone of hope” from a “mountain of despair,” a design inspired by a line of his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

Some gaze upon this figure in silence. Some smile and pull out cell phone cameras. Others chat about how closely the statue resembles King. And some are moved to tears.

Merry Christmas From Cotten Kandi!

Hey Guys! I hope you are in good spirits today as we celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Although, not very religious, I believe, it is important to take a moment and appreciate the blessings you have in your life. Please try not to focus on all you do not have or what is wrong in your life but what you already have. So many families are poverty stricken and so many people, simply, do not have family to spend their holiday with. Be thankful! It’s not about the material things you give and receive but those memories you create with the people you love and who love you. Those memories will never go away, a pair of Jordans will (lol). Stay safe and stay blessed! With Love, Ms. Toni.

I typically share a few of my favorite Christmas songs but I’ve opted for a playlist of the Christmas queen, herself, Mariah Carey. Treat your sweet tooth… and enjoy!
