If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant

I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of winter! As much as I love winter clothing, I need green grass and flowers and sunshine. So as my island went to spring today, Jane came out with the loveliest spring sundresses!




Lillian is an adorable empire style dress with a pleated front that opens to reveal a floral panel underneath. The skirt is sculpted, not flexi, but it moves well with my fidgety AO. Lillian comes in cream [shown here], honey, and marine. And like everything at Jane, it's totally affordable for pretty much any budget. You'll want all three colors, of course!

I have a lot of de-winterizing to do on the island, so I'm off to skip around in my pretty dress!

Belle Belle makes me steamy!

Do you love living in luxury? Who doesn't, am I right? Well, then you must be loving this month's Spruce Up Your Space as much as I am! This weekend only, you can get this simply wonderful Sauna Zen-sation from Belle Belle for ONLY $150L! Check out the pics!










You know, every time I show something off from Belle Belle, I want to just take a million pictures because Leyla Firefly seriously puts some detail in her work! This thing is really just wonderful and SO serene, with the light tinkling sounds of the wind chimes that are hanging outside. You will need at least 326 prims available to rez it out, but wow, is it worth it! There are several sits in the benches, the steam can be turned on and off, and I seriously want the shower in my real bathroom, because the water pouring down looks like soft rain. This version is PG, but there IS a naughty version of the sauna with Belle Belle's "Passion Inside" menu driven poses. You know, if you roll that way. *wink* The adult version is NOT on sale for Spruce Up Your Space.

Remember, you only have until Sunday night to get the Sauna Zen-sation at Belle Belle for $150L. Afterwards it pops up to its regular price of $990L. Go now! Go!

Oh, by the way. I have my Sauna-zensation set up in my Calypso's Cave which is also from Belle Belle. The sounds of the cave really mesh well with the sauna. Honestly, I'm totally relaxed!

Secret Agent Girl

I feel like a secret agent, ducking into back alleys, waiting to find out some great lead. Well, here's a great lead for you - there's newness at Gos, Jane, and Truth!




Check out these boots! The new Curvaceous boots by Gos are just oh so sensational! I'm wearing them in the black suede with the chunky heel, but there are loads - LOADS - of options! Colors, textures, even heel options! I could have worn them with the great wedge, or the sexy stiletto. Believe me, it was hard to figure out just which heel I wanted! You're also able to use a very easy menu to adjust your boots to get just the right fit for you. These boots do NOT come with an invisprim, so you need to be able to use the alpha layer for them. But who uses invisiprims anyway, right? ;)

I know, I just did a Jane post a few days ago, but when I saw her new goodies, I had to skip right over to get them! The Convict Jacket and matching Convict Sweater were too good to pass up! The best part of Jane clothing? Soooo versatile and you're able to mix and match easily. I'm in love with the long lines of the jacket and the striped sweater is so cute with just jeans and some sneakers. You must go!

And from hair machine extraordinaire Truth comes the Tegan 2 hair and hat combo. I am a SUCKER for a good hat and there really are just not enough hats that come with amazing hair out there on the grid. Luckily for us, Truth has started making some hat hair, and I am so happy about that! You should also get the Tegan hair that is without the hat. Same style, no hat, and a cute chunky braid pinned to the side.

This is Secret Agent Alicia, signing off to go on the hunt for more goodness!

So Much Good!

There are some days that I just have to jump on the bed and squeal because there is just so much good stuff in SL!




Did you know that adorable Elle Kirshner of Second Spaces has a sister? And did you know her sister is getting her feet wet in the fashion world of SL? Swan Ling brings us Argyle Anonymous, a great little store with some cute and pretty affordable items! I'm wearing the green Buttoned Shirt over the cream Floral Tank. Keep your eyes open on this new store!

I'm sure you all know by now, but there's a new Belleza skin out! Erika is a sweet faced cutie with a precious little freckle under one eye. Like all Belleza skins, it's beautiful. I'm sure a billion other bloggers will show you all the goods on the skin, but I'm not that kind of blogger, so you just get to see a close up! I'm wearing the Pale 3 with the Lips 5 tattoo layer lipstick. Soooo lovely.




Do you love it? Of course you do.

Oh, look at my eyes. They're from new-to-me store Banana Banshee. They're called Janszoon and I'm wearing them in Seagrass. Gorgeous.

Shoo now. Go shop!

Bundle Up

I haven't been in Second Life much the past week, but if there was one thing that was going to get me to run right in today, it was the fact that there is adorable newness at Jane!




The Melody dress is a sweet, babydoll style dress with little buttons on the front. My SL guy gave me My So Called Life for our anniversary yesterday [hi babe!] and I know that Angela Chase would have felt very at home in this cute little dress as she was running around with Rayanne.

To go with this dress, you HAVE to get the Melody cardigan. HAVE. TO. If you love little cardigans like I do, you're going to want these in your inventory, whether you get the dress or not.

Today for Sheer Madness at Jane, you can get the fatpack of the Lil Piggies Striped Tights for the awesome price of $50L. 31 colors of cute tights for $50L?? Sign me up!

I can't seem to take off the Yolanda 2 hair from Truth. It's so cute, I want to sit and play with my hair all day. Truth has also been doing this cool thing lately with his longer styles where the hair is done in split attachments. Makes adjusting it soooo much easier!

And because I simply can't take them off either, I'm wearing the SLink Heidi Rainboots from the Extend A Helping Hand event. They have a darling little frog peeking out! It's like you have a friend! 100% of the proceeds from these boots, and many other things at the event, go to help the Queenslanders who were affected by the awful flooding. Cute boots and helping out - that seems like a fair deal to me.

Grant Me Absolution

I need forgiveness. I made a promise to myself that I would not do much shopping until I was back under a certain number in my inventory. But, I wandered into Absolution last night and... well, you know.




The pretty Joss sweater is just my style! It's off the shoulders and has the long sleeves with the glove extender that takes the sleeves just a little past the wrists. Love!

And the cutie patootie Bowdorable boots! I want them all, because they're tooooo cute. The bow is color change, so you can match to many outfits.

On second thought, I don't need forgiveness, because I'm totally not sorry I bought any of this. :-p

Not In Stepford...

Normally I'd be accepted in a place like Stepford. Today...well, I just didn't get in the gates.




This shirt is really cute! It's from T Junction as part of the "Serial Killer" hunt. The hunt name sounds just awful, but if the prizes are anything like this one, then it might be worth a go. There's also a male shirt in the package.

And yes, I layered it over a Drew shirt from Jane again. :-p

I think I'm going to sneak into Stepford now. I'm sure no one will notice me...

Take a look, it's in a book...

READING RAINBOW!! Oh c'mon, you know that song. :)

I love to read. I've been reading since I was 3, and my room is filled with books. Once I find a story I like, I can read it over and over again. And this adorable sweater from Nyte n Day is like a book - because I know I'll wear it often!




The Dote sweater from Nyte n Day makes me so happy. It's a short sleeved sweater, so I'll be able to take it into the spring. But since it's cold, I put the cream colored Drew shirt from Jane underneath it. I have said it many times, but I love these Drew shirts. I wear them very very often, either alone or with something.

Oh, did I mention that the Dote sweater comes with these most precious boots??? I love them so much! I don't normally like this style, but I think these have changed my mind.

Scoot off now. Go shop or go read a book. ♥

Preparations

Happy New Year, everyone!! I hope yours was as fantastic as mine was! Now, I don't know about you, but I always make a lot of preparations for the new year. Usually in the form of trying to move some furniture around. I was attempting to do this in SL, but I got distracted by my cute outfit and my new socks.




This schoolgirl-esque outfit is called Black Night and is from Acid & Mala. Being that I'm a sucker for a short pleated skirt and a nice sweater, I simply had to have it. There is actually a bottom part to the sweater that has the white shirt poking out, but I felt it made me look fat, and honey, I can't have that in both worlds.

And my cute little socks!! I know, everyone probably has them already, but my sweetie gifted me with the Scrunched Prim Socks from Maitreya last night, and all morning I've been tippy-toeing around in them. I may never take them off. If I don't wear shoes again, please blame Aldwyn.

Here's to a bright new year!
