Someday, Somewhere

Last month I was away from SL for about a week while my daddy recuperated from another surgery, and I had my husband collecting things for me. Of course, when I got back, I was too tired to go back and look at everything, so imagine my squeal of surprise and happiness when I discovered this gorgeous Ingenue dress just waiting patiently in my inventory!!




I believe the Ava dress came out for the Vintage Fair, and you can see that it is completely vintage inspired. The tight fitted waist, the sweet little peplum, and the slim skirt that Ingenue does so so well are all completely fantastic. You can't see it in the picture, but the back dips down a bit in a V shape and there is a zipper. It's just so so classy! Parts of the dress are mesh, so if you can't see mesh yet... well, sucks to be you, I guess.

Oh! And Nardcotix is having a big End Of The Year sale! 70% off the whole store! You can pick up these lovely strappy Edith heels for a SONG! I find the feet in these shoes to be cute and soooo easy to tint! Especially for me because one of the presets in the HUD matches my skin perfectly!

I think I need to go do a little more shopping!

A Date With Santa

Since 2008, I've been having a winter guest on my island. Of COURSE I'm talking about Santa! He swings by after the first snowfall [something about the North Pole simply being crazy around December] and he hangs out until Christmas Eve. Since that is tomorrow and at some point during the day he'll be taking off, tonight is our special date night. And lucky for me, G Field sent the most beautiful winter gift!



If you're in the subscriber group, then you should have received the very pretty 2011 Holiday dress & necklace today. As with everything G Field makes, it's gorgeous! G Field remains on my top 10 list of stores that I love and I don't see that changing any time soon.

This'll be my last post until after Christmas, so Merry Christmas, everyone!! Or Happy Hanukkah! Or just Happy Holidays! ♥

Now if you'll excuse me, Santa awaits!

Something's There

I'm in love with the Glee & Showtunes stations on Pandora lately, so I'm sorry if my next 20 posts have the title of some Broadway musical song. But this is a good one, because with all the fabulous things that are out lately, something IS there for everyone!




Collabor88 is still going strong this month and if you haven't been by yet, you neeeeed to go! You can pick up great things, like the Killiney boots from FIR & MNA. I just love these! There is a pair for men as well, and these are MESH boots.

Speaking of Collabor88, there is a lot of good furniture out there this time around, like the Deetz Fireplace set from Cheeky Pea and the Patchwork & Pipes bed from Kari. I love that the curtains and rug from the Soft Exposure living room set from Barnesworth Anubis that we found at last month's Collabor88 work perfectly! I am also totally in love with The Snowy Cabin artwork on the wall from Funky Junk. The snow really falls! You can find it at the Funky Junk mainstore location, or at The Nest. It's no copy, so great for transferring for gifts!

And hello? Do you see my hair? It's a new MESH hair from Wasabi Pills called Cherry. It's so thick and lush and it's nice that it doesn't dig into my chest. You can't see it here, but in the back, there's a low ponytail. I wish I had this much thick hair in RL!

Have I talked your ear off? Are you ready to shop? Go now!

Winter's Edge

I LOVE the 7th of the month. Want to know why? Because it's the day before Collabor88 starts!! Yeah baby! This month's theme is a great one, too. Winter's Edge - The edgier side of winter, harsher than the soft exposure of last month. It's fab! It's also the Collabor88 Prom for our designers! Each designer has picked another creator to be their date to accompany them this month, so that means DOUBLE the things for you to buy!

Check out the Downtown Cathedral Catwalk from Trompe Loeil!




This is a MESH skybox, so perfect for photos or if you're into living in a different sort of setting than a traditional house. You can't tell in the photo, but there is snow actually falling behind the windows! I just adore it so much! The skybox is mod/copy and 91 prims.

I'm wearing the Love skin by Illusory in the Winter's Edge makeup. Check it out!




Pretty pretty pretty! From Ingenue for Collabor88, I'm wearing the Cyd dress, which is around the neck halter style and has a slim mesh skirt. If you haven't tried one of the mesh skirts from Ingenue, this is THE time to get one because I promise you won't be able to stop looking at your behind while you're wearing it. And Caroline's Jewelry is with us this month with the very lovely Gunmetal & Gems necklace and earrings set. So gorgeous!

Collabor88 starts tomorrow and I can't wait for you all to see all the greatness!

The Air of December

Mmm...do you hear that? No, it's not the sound of Santa's sleigh bells. It's the sound of more new mesh things! And new hair!




Adam n Eve are getting into the mesh clothing game and have brought us this super cute Rhia dress! A cute tartan minidress, it is sleeveless and has a crisp white collar. The dress style is simple, which I LOVE because it means I can dress it up and down in many ways! Although AnE do not do Standard Sizing, I find that the fit of the AnE M size is almost exactly like the Standard Sizing M, if that gives you any indication of how the sizing goes, and there are 5 sizes included so you can get the best fit.

I woke up today to people squealing over the new Quirky hair at Elikatira and I rushed right over to demo. It was like a plurk party when I got there! But with good reason, because this loose braided pigtailed hair is just too cute. I did stretch mine to be bigger, though, since my head is weirdly shaped and I found it to be a little too close to my head.

Time to shop!

Once Upon A December

We recently set up our winter park on the island, and I'm so happy with it, I want to be outside all the time! Luckily for me, there are warm things to wear because I just can't be out in the snow without proper clothing!




I happened upon new-to-me store Severed Garden last night while browsing marketplace. I hopped on over to the mainstore and fell in LOVE with the Dana boots and the Priska hat and hair! These are no modify items, which I know might turn some of you off, but there are convenient little HUDs to change the colors of your boots and socks, hat and hair. My only real complaint is that I would like to be able to resize the boots separate of the socks, but I managed to make them fit and they are fairly inexpensive, so it all works out!

Pose store STaTus is participating in the Royal Living Magazine Snowman Hunt and fitting to the title, they've put out this cute Snowman Lover. There are 10 poses in the snowman, and who doesn't love poses and snowmen, am I right? This is a PAY hunt, and each hunt item costs $45L. But I'm sure multiple blogs will have all the items, so you can pick and choose what you want.

I'm off to play in the snow some more!

Rockin Around The Christmas Tree

Now that it's after Thanksgiving, it's time to start decorating for Christmas!! And I started by decorating my feet with these awesome new boots from Gos!




The new Aviator Amelia boots are so very very perfect for the upcoming winter months! As you would expect from Gos, the boots are amazingly sculpted and the texturing is fantastic. There are 5 colors of boot, and with a single purchase you get 5 colors of socks. But if you fatpack them [and why wouldn't you?], then you get 16 sock colors! You can also choose to hide the socks if you prefer. The boots also are scripted to have a Loose or Tight fit, as shown below.





Run to Gos and get these boots! And in case you were wondering, there is a matching pair of boots for the guys called Yeager! Go now!

The New Convert

My husband, Aldwyn, isn't as much of a clothes horse as I am. He likes shopping [that's why I married him!] but he never quite finds anything he really gets excited to buy as far as clothing goes. When I started wearing mesh, I have a feeling he thought I was crazy nuts. In fact, I had to stomp around a bit to even get him to use a mesh viewer so he could see me in my fabulousness. But we took a little trip tonight to Hoorenbeek, and well...




Welcome to the mesh club, baby!

He really got happy for the new Classic Jeans and so did I because, WOW! They look so GOOD on him! He didn't have to change his shape even one point! The jeans come with 8 styles of belts, too! He paired them up with Corduroy Jacket that comes with the mesh shirt. There are 3 colors of shirts with the jacket, so that's awesome! Both the jacket and the jeans come in 3 sizes, and the jeans have both low and high rises.

With my new mesh Cairo boots and mesh Lyn Cardigan from Celoe, we're a mesh-tastic couple!

Mens' clothing creators? Your mission is clear. More mesh! The guys want to shop!

Born To Make You Happy

I think we all know by now that I love mesh clothing, am I right? But what I love more than mesh clothing is my wonderful husband! We had our two month anniversary on the 18th but didn't really get to do anything because of our schedules. Last night he made it up to me by taking me on a little shopping spree at Celoe!




As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, Celoe comes to us from the super talented LeLutka team and they've come bringing us all kinds of mesh wonderfulness! [They're in a temporary location at the moment, so I'll update this whenever they move to the real store.] I went super nuts for the new Lolong Trousers when I demoed them. These are definitely "Get your heels on, girlfriend!" pants, especially if you're short like me! But the way they sit JUST perfectly on the hips? I couldn't stop staring! The Lyn Cardigan was something that both of us knew I just had to have. It's SO very me and SO very beautiful! The Gea Top turtleneck ties everything nicely together and I adore the perfectly slouchy neck on it.

Celoe is one of those "I need all the things!" types of stores for me, and I hope you like it as much as I do!! Remember that you'll need a MESH enabled viewer to see all the fabulous clothes! Oh, and happy anniversary, baby! ♥

Welcome To Mystery

Do you have that place in SL that you can't help but travel back to again and again when you want to take a photo but you don't feel like creating a set or standing in front of a blank prim? XIV is that place for me. When I go there, I feel like I've gone on the other side of the looking glass. I wasn't sure where to take a picture in my outfit today, so I headed on over to find just the right spot!



I woke up to a notice that G Field had some new Leg Warmers! For heels! Oh they are just so cute, I can hardly stand it! Although I have many G Field shoes, I had to pick up the Alex pumps to wear with them, just to make SURE they fit properly. And they do!

I got the leg warmers and shoes in grey because I knew today I'd be wearing the Suede Mesh Mini from Stellar today. If you pick it up from the Marketplace, it's only $55L!! Heck of a deal, folks. But be sure you get the demo first before buying, just to make sure you can fit or that you can mod your shape the way you want to make it fit. I find that it's a little more slim on me [even the size 2] than some things I've bought in mesh, but 1, I don't mind modding my shape to get things to fit the way I want, and 2, I still think I look pretty bootylicious in it!

Indian Summer

I wrote this really awesome post, but ended up losing it. I don't feel like re-typing it all out again. I'm sorry!




The awesome LeLutka team is gearing up to bring us new MESH goodness! Celoe is coming soon, and if you join their in world group now, you can get this cute little Chelsea dress as a gift! Celoe will be bringing us great mesh clothes, shoes and accessories very soon, so if you're not in a mesh viewer yet, I'm terribly sorry that you'll be seeing me in loads of mesh soon. Celoe, along with Mon Tissu, SLink, and Lelutka, have come up with a Standard Sizing package so that if you wear one size in one brand, you'll fit into the same size in another brand. I think that this will make wearing mesh a lot easier, especially if other brands will work with these sizes, too. Now don't think you'll be cookie cutter, either. I wear a size M, but there are some friends of mine who are in a size S and yet they are more curvy than I am. There's really a lot of room to work with! Well, unless you're very large. But sizes for XL and XXL are in the works, I've heard!

This dress was the perfect simple outfit to pair with my Fanciers Best Necklace and Earrings from Undefined Lilies! I picked these up at the Vintage Fair and have been waiting for a chance to break them out. Sooo very classy and pretty. Love love love!

Chantilly Lace

Two style posts in one day? What the heck has come over me?? But c'mon... Vintage Fair is SO GOOD, I can't help but want to show off the goodies! Plus? It's Truth hair day!




I think all of us know by now that Nena Janus of League is exceptionally talented. But what she put out for the Vintage Fair...WOW! The Vintage Lace Cardigan and the Vintage Full Lace Skirt are probably two of my most favorite finds in SL EVER! I naturally gravitate to anything lacy and pretty, so these had my name written alllll over them.

And I don't have to tell you guys how much I adore Truth, both the hair and the person, do I? His new Faith hair is almost vintage like, reminding me of a style that Veronica Lake or Rita Hayworth would have favored. The thick spill of waves over the shoulder and the sweet little flippy curl on the bangs...love!

Are you guys broke yet? If not, I'm sure it's coming!

Mmmm...more Vintage Fair goodies! I've been setting up Funky Junk's new Pasadena house that is out at the Vintage Fair for the past couple of days. It's all kinds of retro love! With Nana's TV Room Set from Hanaya, also at the Vintage Fair, it just makes you step back in time!




I was very excited to see Reale out at the Vintage Fair this year, especially with this adorable Soda dress! The skirt is a mix of sculpts and flexi, so you get nice movement, and the whole thing is really very figure flattering with the waistband and bow that hit in just the right spots.

If you haven't made it out to the Vintage Fair yet, be prepared for some lag, of course, but also be prepared to spend spend spend!! Oh! And I'll be out there tomorrow [Sunday the 13th] DJing a Sock Hop from 7pm-9pm SLT! I hope to see you guys out there for some great old music and lots of fun!

A Little Deanie

Oh, it is so good to be home! I have been itching to get back to my blog! [I know, I know, that sounds lame.] But with Collabor88 starting, and Vintage Fair coming, can you blame me? I'm amazed at the items the creators have put out for both events. It's a bad month for your wallets, but OH...such a good month for getting tons of pretty new things! This outfit reminded me, a little bit, of Natalie Wood when she played Deanie Loomis in the movie "Splendor In The Grass." Ever seen it? You should. It's fab!




At the Vintage Fair, I found this beautiful Chiffon Calais dress from new-to-me store Lisa L. I'm a total sucker for lace, so I just had to snatch it right up!

The new Vintage skin from Curio is so sweet and old fashioned! With the added tattoo pencil brows, you feel like you stepped right back in time. It's perfect with the new Soft hair from Elikatira for Collabor88 this month!




I have much more to blog, but for now, I must shop!

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

I'm supposed to be packing, but I'm procrastinating. No, I'm not going anywhere fun. My dad's having another surgery and I'll be staying over with my parents for a few days while he recovers just to help out. But I guess I can pretend it's a vacation? I'm a little blue about it, so putting together a blue outfit just seemed totally right.




For Fifty Linden Friday this week, Ingenue has these great new Collette skirts. They are mesh skirts, but you don't have to worry about the fit because the skirt part is like a normal prim crotch flap, but being that it's mesh, it moves with your body and blends in with the rest of the skirt. Love love love! There are 2 colors for FLF this week, and I'm so very happy she put it out early so I could get it!!

Collabor88 for November starts on the 8th and The Sea Hole is putting out some really cute items, like this pretty little Corsage ring, bracelet, and nail polish set. I can't wait for the whole collection!

The dryer just went off so I guess it's back to packing. I'll see you guys next week!

Halloween Comfort

I don't know what it is about Halloween. Everything seems just slightly more creepy even if it's nothing big. I'm not passing out candy this year, so I'm just in some comfy clothes getting ready to ...wait. What was that noise??




Today for Moody Monday, you can pick up this Yoga Set in orange and black from Stellar. If you're like me and you enjoy being both casual and cute, this is definitely something you need to pick up!

Oh, and are you in the New Trails subscriber group? If so, be sure you check your notices for the free gift of sugar skulls for Día de los Muertos.

I have to go turn off all the lights now. Even if it's scary in here, at least there won't be any teens texting on their Blackberries and expecting free candy.

I'm Never Without My Phone

Yeah, I'm that girl. The one who is never more than a couple of feet away from her phone, the one who keeps it by her pillow, the one who freaks out if she runs to grab take out and forgot her phone at home. I'm always on call for my parents, and even turning the ringer off to go out and enjoy a movie isn't something I feel comfortable with. Heck, I even take it with me when I go outside to get the mail.




When I saw the Fall sweater from Ducknipple, I knew it was for me! With the little iPhone in the pocket, it's just perfect! If you click it, it will disappear, and no, there doesn't appear to be an Android version. :-p The sweater comes with the necklace I'm wearing, and also 8 different colored undershirts [not shown here]. The belt also changes color.

By the way, if the Ducknipple creator reads this: Could you please put the name of the store on your folders? I love love love the store but I always lose items in my inventory because the store name isn't on the folder. Thanks!

Let's Take A Walk

The weather here has been awesome lately, and it makes me want to go on long walks to see what I can see. But mostly I just want to walk around in my new Portas Booties!!




From AnE Meshworks, an Adam n Eve brand, these little booties are short, cute, and in the most soft lickable leather I've seen in ages! They ARE mesh, so you know the drill. Get a mesh viewer or GTFO. :-p I kid, I kid!! But seriously, you need a mesh viewer to see these boots properly.

I'm standing in the Cascadia Autumn Pavilion from Funky Junk, on sale this weekend for Spruce Up Your Space. It's the perfect autumn decor for your land!

Time to take my boots and go walking!

Funky Autumn Gatcha At The Nest!

Do you like gatcha? I bet you do! The Nest is having a big 4 day Guising & Gatcha party starting tomorrow! Guising is the same as trick or treating, for those who are not familiar with the term. [I wasn't.] The Guising items are only $5L!! What a treat! Lots of great home & garden designers are participating, including my favorite - Funky Junk!




Seven new items for the fall season! It's all cute cute cute and only $40L a play! The fireplace with the pumpkins spilling out and the blocks & candle on top is the rare item, and you will want it! Especially if you like to decorate for the season as much as I do!! Be sure you stop by Funky Junk at The Nest for Guising because the item matches the gatcha items, although I don't have it shown here. Guess you'll just have to go to check it out, huh? :)

The Nest Guising & Gatcha event begins on Friday October 28th and lasts until October 31st, and you won't want to miss it!!

Sometimes I feel like somebody's watching me...

It was one of those days. My body was tired, my brain was fried, and all I really wanted to do was come home and slip into a hot bath for a while to unwind. But you know, the bath wasn't nearly as relaxing as I would have liked. Maybe it's just the season for being spooked, but I had the strangest feeling that someone was watching me...




Do you have a FilterCam from MechanizedLife? If you take photos in SL, you really should have one! I blogged about FilterCam back in 2009 and it still remains one of my favorite gadgets. But it just got even better with the new Expansion Pack! There are 5 new Preset banks for a total of 90 new presets! I'm using the Scopes bank with the Binoculars preset for this photo. If you're not particularly skilled in Photoshop but you are looking to make your photos more fancy, you owe it to yourself to head over to MechanizedLife and pick up the new FilterCam Expansion Pack! Remember, you need the FilterCam to use it, so if you don't have one, get one!!

As for me...I think it's time I invest in some curtains.

You can stand under my umbrella

I'm not a huge fan of rain, but after this past summer where even the smallest rain shower would have been a blessing, I've come to at least tolerate when the storms roll in. Of course, maybe if I had some cute Wellingtons, like these from Gos, I wouldn't mind running out in the rain!




The new Wellingtons are a MESH item, so you will need a mesh compatible viewer to see them properly. [Honestly, if you're STILL kicking it in a vintage viewer and your only excuse is "I don't want to learn viewer 2," then you're missing out!!] The Wellingtons come in several colors, and if you fatpack, you can make your own color combos like I did here with the pumpkin colored boot and the black trims. I'm wearing the rigged mesh version, meaning it moves with my AO and comes in 3 sizes. The non-rigged versions work as traditional prim boots would and are able to be resized via the menu. If you choose to wear the rigged mesh boots be sure to try on all three sizes to find the best fit before running and yelling at Gospel the way I did. :-p I'm wearing the Tall size. If you're bigger than I am, either shrink yourself or wear the non-rigged ones that you can resize.

Time for more puddle jumping!

Sometimes you just don't know.

There are some days when I cannot figure out which gorgeous outfit I want to wear first. Then there are other days when I can't figure out a single thing to wear! Today is one of those days, but luckily with new releases from BOOM and some old favorite standbys, I can dance around the house and just forget about the world. And that's all you get for today, because my mind is in a far off place. ♥

"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free."

I've always been a big reader. I am usually reading anywhere from 2-4 books at any given time, and the bookshelves in my bedroom are double stacked with books. I started reading when I was 3 years old while on vacation with my parents. What was the first word I ever read? "Visa." Figures! You might want to pull out your own Visa cards to go shopping this week - especially if you love Jane AND mesh as much as I do!




I could go on and on about how much I love the new releases. The Cropped Sweaters, the Low Ride Pants, but the best thing for you all to do is just go to Jane try them on for yourselves. Remember that you will need a mesh enabled viewer to see these gorgeous clothes properly. And can I make a plea for people to please start using mesh enabled viewers more? I always feel bad that some people see me with big ugly prims all over my body when they should be seeing my wonderful outfit!

In The Still Of The Night

There's something about the crisp autumn nights that make you think anything is possible. Like maybe you'll be standing outside, all dressed up, and Prince Charming will come sweep you off your feet! And if you're in this gown by Kouse's Sanctum, why wouldn't he do just that?




The new Juniper gowns are just oh so beautiful! The trim, the train, the ruffles - what's not to love? The gowns come in several colors, and there are options for gold or silver trim. I'm wearing the gold trim because autumn is just made for gold!

Every dress that Kouse makes, I swear it's my new favorite, so I suggest you head on Kouse's Sanctum and find your new favorite today!

Love On Top

Did you know the Creators Stamp Rally was going on now? I love love love the CSR because not only is it fun to get prizes, but often I get to find new-to-me stores, or get to remember stores that I had forgotten about! If you aren't familiar with the CSR, it's pretty easy. I suggest reading the blog to find out what to do. But just know if you want ALL the prizes, you'll need 20 cards to stamp, and that means buying 20 things. Or if you're lucky, you'll have friends who have extra cards and give them to you. :) I was on a mission for cards last night, so I went to shop!




Niniko is a new-to-me store and particpating in the CSR. I picked up this cute little Chiffon Cutsew top there! I love simple tops to pair with jeans, but the big bow on it gives it that extra little kick to keep it from being too plain.

I hadn't been to Honey Kitty in a while, so I was really happy I stopped by! Look at the aptly named Sweet Sweet Bag! I don't know if I want to use it as a purse, travel with it, or put my lunch in it! The bow is color change and there are several bag colors available. Honey Kitty is also participating in the CSR.

Remember when you're out shopping to get cards that most of the stores only have cards in their newer items. Most of them will have a sign over something saying it has a card in it, but when in doubt, just edit and look in the contents. Of course, things at these stores are so very cute, you probably won't care if you get a card or not!

Oh! I'm starting something new on this blog that I've seen others do by adding the name of the designer next to the store SLurl. Does that make it easier for you all to find things? I try really hard to always look up every SLurl before posting, but I didn't know if you guys care either way. Let me know! :)

This Time I'm Not Leaving Without You

I don't know what it is about boots that just make me want to line dance and drink beer. Even when the boots aren't necessarily western style, I still feel it. Must be the Texas girl in me!




SLink just released new mesh boots! The Astrid ankle boots are just...well, look at them. They're fab! They come in 16 colors, and if you fatpack you are able to mix and match the boot and the strap colors. Now while these boots ARE mesh, they're not rigged and are able to be resized via the HUD. Awesome!

Mesh hair isn't very common yet, and I haven't really had a chance to play with any, so the new Aria mesh hair from Wasabi Pills was fun to wear! It moves quite well in some poses [not all, but that could be said for anything, mesh or sculpty or primmy] and it's just really sweet looking. This hair would probably look better on someone else, though, since my head is weird shaped and I can't wear sleek styles. But it's so pretty, I couldn't help myself! Of course, the main problem with mesh hair is not being able to really edit it. But we're still in the very early days of mesh, so who knows what will happen in the future?

Okay, enough talk. Time to shop!

Mad For You

Hello readers! Wow, it was a whirlwind of a week last week getting ready to get married on Sunday! I couldn't believe how busy I was! You know who else was busy? Some of my favorite designers! And lucky for us, they were, because there were some wonderful things released in the past few days.




Mmm...meshy goodness from Raspberry Aristocrat! The new Sweet Tanks and Sweet Pleated Skirts are awesome! I love basics, as you all know, and I can see myself pairing these up with lots of things! If you STILL can't see mesh, you're missing out! I'm wearing the Small size in both of these items, and only had to modify my shape a tiny bit to get things to fit - like dropping my boob gravity down slightly and bringing in my saddlebags a bit. Oh, don't you wish for sliders for your physical body? I know I do!

For those of you who still aren't into mesh, Gos just came out with these amazing Storm Sandals. Oh, I am in LOVE with them! So so so many ways to customize and with the fatpack [and really, why wouldn't you get the fatpack?] you can hit the Random button and get your shoes to surprise you with colors! I told Gospel that was a GREAT feature for someone like me because it meant I would have to make an outfit to match my shoes instead of the other way around. Fun times! Also, the foot is SO incredibly easy to match to your skin [at least it was for me] and I find the toes to be very nice looking. In fact, I'd love to have a bare foot! [Hint hint!]

Tricky Boucher of Belleza just released the new Chloe skin and it's soooo pretty! This is definitely going to become my new "everyday" skin, I can feel it! Lots of makeups to choose from, but if I were you, I'd fatpack it. There is a lighter brow tattoo, but it's not very light, so blondes may want to play around and see how it works. I find that using the light brow tattoo with my blonde hair that has darker roots works a bit better.

And of course it's not a week without new releases from Truth! The new Brandi hair is gorgeous, as you would expect, and comes with some hair flowers! I'm not wearing a flower in this photo, but they are cute! I'm a sucker for accessories for my hair.

Time to go shopping!

Collabor88 Again!

Tomorrow is September 8th, and you know what that means! A new edition of Collabor88!! The theme this month is Neons & Neutrals, and one of my favorite stores, Ingenue, put it together beautifully!




The Sedgwick dress is a mod little number that would do Ms. Edie Sedgwick proud. There are also tights that match the dress, but my legs started to look weird to me. I love the colors, though, so I know they'll get used for another outfit! Also to match, the cute cute Bridget flats! I love flat shoes in any life, and I wish I could yank these from my computer and put them on my own feet!

Collabor88 starts tomorrow, and you guys are going to LOVE it!!

Let's Get Lost

Truly TRULY getting spoiled by mesh boots lately! I will never be able to wear another over the knee boot that is not mesh again!! Check out the new mesh boots from Lassitude & Ennui!




The new Overknee boots are just marvelous!  And believe it or not, these babies actually fit me out of the box!  You can't see it in the photo, but the boots dip into a V cut in the back. Very hot!  I'm wearing them in Snakeskin, and there's a gorgeous Embossed print as well, and several colors to choose from.  You know what I love more than these boots?  Long established brands in Second Life that don't just rest on their laurels and who keep current with their skills.  Lassitude & Ennui, big major kudos to you! I can't wait to see what you come out with next!

I Ain't Sayin' She's A Golddigger

Yes yes! More mesh goodness! I know, I said the blog wouldn't be all mesh all the time, but oh you guys. I just can't seem to help myself!! Check out this sexy number from Ten Fifteen!




The Natalia dress is a super sexy dress that is so very perfect if you love going to parties and clubs.  With a deep plunging neckline and a low cut back, you get the advantage of showing off lots of skin without giving everything away.

And I had to pair this up with the new mesh Tall Leather Thigh Boots from SLink because...well, look at them. LOVE.

Go shopping!

That's How I Became Head Girl

So I'll admit, wizarding school wasn't easy! I mean, all those potions to learn and waving a wand around and it would have been dead easy to gain a billion pounds with all the crap we eat. But then I was announced as Head Girl! Gee...I wonder how that happened.




SLink just came out with some new mesh boots!!  I have always loved thigh high boots in SL, but I've rarely worn them since either you're stuck with texture boots, or the prims get all crazy when you try to bend your leg.  But with mesh...oh baby!  These are the first boots that have ever made me want to pose naked with them, and that is saying a LOT because I don't feel comfortable posing naked pretty much anywhere!  The boots come in several colors [including pink!!] and there are four sizes to choose from, but be aware that they tend to run a little on the small side.  I'm wearing the "Curvy" size and I did have to scale my legs down a bit to wear them, since the "Plus" sized ones, the largest in the pack, were a little TOO plus for my liking.  But they're so worth making my legs a little thinner for, because I can't stop strutting around in them!

Go to SLink!!

Oh, PS: I'm just making up stories. I'm not affiliated with any of the wizard RP things that are around. :)

Earth Mother

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time period, because I could TOTALLY see myself as some hippie earth mother type. Luckily in SL, I can play out my tambourine dreams with a lovely new dress from Raspberry Aristocrat!




The Heirloom dress is a mesh dress, and no, this blog won't be all mesh all the time, but you have to admit, mesh is REALLY fun to play with!!  I really like this dress because of the very pretty halter style bodice.  Sexy, without giving away the farm!

And of course, if you're not in a mesh compatible viewer yet, you won't see this lovely dress the way it should be.  So switch viewers, and head over to Raspberry Aristocrat to pick this up!  Oh, actually, I think it's inside of JANE right now!

Leave It To The Imagination

Back in the late 90s, my Bestie and I used to work at the mall in a department store. We had to dress up using clothing from the store, and she would always pick these long long dresses because she liked to not show too much skin. I always thought she looked great and I was jealous that I couldn't wear the long long dresses because I was short and chubby and what worked on her tall and thin body would not have worked on me. When I saw the new 2nd Skin dresses from Jane today, I immediately thought of my Bestie!




These dresses are mesh, so if you're not in a mesh-compatible viewer yet, you will not see it correctly.

I think these are really pretty!  And Jane has already taken other shape sizes into account because now you get to choose from 4 sizes - Petite, Fair, Plump, and Luscious.  I'm wearing the Fair size, which is just great for an average sized avatar.  One of the cool things about mesh, in my opinion, is that you can kind of play with your "shape" without actually having to do much.  When I put on the Luscious sized dress, it's like, hello boob job!!  But remember that currently, mesh only works with your avatar's skeleton, not the body fat. [There's a Jira to fix this.]  So if you love having a big belly in SL, this dress will not work for you.

That's why I never wore them in RL, anyway. The belly never worked for me!

It should be called flow

I was eager to see who was going to jump onto the mesh clothing train when it was announced that mesh was going live. I was REALLY excited when I saw Jane had new mesh items out!! I love Jane anyway, as we all know, and I'm terribly in love with the new offerings!!

 

 This pretty Sack Dress caught my eye immediately. It's so very cute and it just flows so well!! I was afraid, as many of us were, that mesh clothing was going to be super expensive due to the skill involved, but happily, Janie has kept her prices very very reasonable! Love love love. :)

 Now yes, there are a few drawbacks to mesh. You will not be able to edit your clothing [as far as I know, anyway. This dress, you can't edit.] and you have to wear an alpha layer to hide most of your body so that it fits. I'm wearing the "Small" size because the "Large" size gave me a huge chest! But I did have to modify my own shape somewhat to fit into the smaller size properly. There's only so much alpha layers can do. :) You will also need to be on a mesh enabled viewer and mesh enabled sim to see the clothing properly. So I'm sorry to those of you who are still kickin' it old school in a 1.23 viewer. You may find your SL looks a lot weirder in the coming months if you don't jump into a new viewer. From my understanding, the official SL viewers and Kirstens Viewer are the ones that are for mesh at the moment, with Firestorm working to get up to speed as quickly as they can do so.

Please do not worry much, though.  Yes, mesh gives us some great things, but there will always ALWAYS be the need for regular prims, textures and sculpties. :)

Going Back

School starts back here in my area tomorrow. I'm a huge fan of back to school stuff! New clothes, new school supplies, the works! Of course, I'm not in school anymore, but I can still look the part!




I totally fell in love with this little Lace Heart Cropped Top from Emery, out right now at The Dressing Room Blue.  And the Lavender hair I picked up from fri.day for Fifty Linden Friday is sooo cute!  A "tiny bird" said there's a new hair designer at fri.day, so I guess we can expect more goodies soon!  Oh, and I could not resist these mouth pencils from Naminoke that I picked up at the Gacha Festival!  I don't usually like things hanging off my mouth, but these are cute and who doesn't put a pencil in their mouth sometimes?

For Moody Monday, my favorite pose store, aDORKable Poses, has the Learning Curve desk set.  The desk & chair are color change, and there are 5 poses for the prop.  Love love love. For those of you who are doing the Harry Potter roleplay thing, you should totally get this!!

Have a great Monday!

Girls in their summer clothes

Every summer I think about cutting my hair short. But I don't really have the facial structure for it and considering I cry when my hair is cut to my shoulders, I don't think a short cut would be for me. But luckily I can have the pretty little cuts I love, but without the long term commitment.

 


The new Juliette hair from Truth is so so sweet! Just this adorable shaggy little cut with a darling little headband. It's simple, but that makes it perfect.

Simplicity truly is my word for the summer. :)

Try A Little Tenderness

The title of this post doesn't really have anything to do with my outfit, but when I'm doing photos for my blog, I'm often listening to old songs. There's some useless trivia for you! Now let's get to the dress.




Kouse Singh recently got married, but she's back and designing away!  [Have I mentioned she's doing my wedding dress for me?  Squee!!]  The new Gabrielle gowns from Kouse's Sanctum are just utterly gorgeous.  If you do any kind of medieval/renaissance/fantasy stuff in SL, you simply must get this gown.  Hell, get it anyway and go frolick in meadows or go dancing so you can see it twirling around.  I'm wearing it in Forest, and there are several colors available. Pretty pretty pretty!
