Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book

Happy New Year's Eve!! This post is less of a fashion post and more of a thank you. I wanted to give a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to the wonderful designers and event coordinators that took a chance on me this past year and have allowed me to blog their lovely creations and for their fabulous events. I may not have been able to blog as often or as quickly as you might have wanted this year, but believe me when I say that I am grateful for everything! I promise I'll try to do better for you guys in 2015! And of course, an enormous thank you goes to my sweet readers!! I am thrilled beyond measure every time I blog something and someone says, "I had to go buy that!" Without readers, there would never be a reason to blog anything, and don't think that we ever forget that! :)

Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve and I'll see you next year!!

Something Always Brings Me Back To You

Happy Sunday! I hope you guys made it through the busiest shopping weekend of 2014! Oh, what's that? You want to shop more? Sure!




My Slink Obsession ends tomorrow, so hurry hurry down to shop! I'm wearing the Ribbed Knit Sweater by Stellar that you can find at MSO. I'm wearing it on the Slink Physique body, but if you want it and don't have the Physique, there are layers to wear on just your regular avatar body.

Level Up is open and it's all about retro games this month! I'm wearing the Gravity necklace by Cae for the event. It looks like old school Tetris! How cute!

Truth just released some new hair for us, and yay for hat hair! Aspen looks like your hair is blowing a bit in the breeze and the hat is texture change through the hair color HUD. If you are part of the Truth subscriber, Aspen is also a gift in a few colors! You can join the group and still get it. Just click on the Join Group button on his subscriber, then click Join Group again to access the menu and have it delivered. There are a lot of people clicking and clicking on the thing, though, so it might not come to you immediately.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

The True Joy Is In Giving

The holidays are fast approaching, y'all! Have you finished all your shopping yet? I haven't, but I gave myself new goodies and really, you have to give yourself something once in a while, too!




I hopped on over to Kustom9 yesterday and picked up this totally adorable sweater dress! The Nordic Knit dress from Amitomo is just so my style! It's all kinds of soft and cozy, and it also comes with a little fur collar that you can detach if you want.

The dress goes perfectly with the Fiona boots by Fri.day, also out at Kustom9. I just LOVE boots with attached socks! You can make the socks invisible, though, with the HUD, or change the color.

Have you been out to FaMESHed this month? If you haven't, you should go so you can get the Christmas Sled from Exposeur! There are 5 poses in the sled so you can take some great pics!

Happy shopping!

Time Is On Our Side

I have so much I should be doing today, but instead I'm enjoying the day and watching a New Kids On The Block concert. And even better than that, I'm doing it all while wearing fabulous new boots!




The Liaison Collaborative opens on the 15th and I am in LOVELOVELOVE with the new Calvary boots that Aphorism made for the event! They are available in 5 different colors [I'm wearing them in chestnut] and I love the zipper detail! As you can see in the picture, one side of the boot has the zipper go all the way down and the other side has it disconnected. I swear, if these came in white, I would be the happiest ever!

See you at at The Liaison Collaborative on the 15th for lots of shopping fun!

Life is not a song, sweetling.

I was super thrilled to be invited to be a blogger for Tales of Fantasy! I adore fantasy style outfits, but I don't always know what stores to shop at or anything, so an event like this was really good for me! And even better, the theme for this round is Game of Thrones and that is REALLY exciting to me!






FDD is a new-to-me store that has a gacha out at Tales of Fantasy this month where you can collect the Heiress of Throne set. There are a few colors of both the skirt and the jacket to collect. The belt and the collar are rares and have a HUD to change the colors of the stones and fabric of the items. There is also a rare necklace in the set, but I'm not wearing it in this photo because I didn't see it until it was too late. :-D The crown is an ultra rare, but I think it's pretty dang cool! It also has a HUD to change the colors on the crown.

Tales of Fantasy opens on December 10th, so remember to head out there and get your fantasy life!

Doesn't It Feel Like Christmas?

So Ms. Elle Kirshner of Second Spaces has been an incredibly busy bee lately! Let's take a look at a couple of her new releases!




If you didn't know, Second Spaces is in The Arcade with the Wrap It Up set! If you're getting ready to wrap Christmas gifts, this is the set for you. There are 12 items to collect, 2 being rare. [The ribbon shelf and the wrapping paper rack on the wall.]

Collabor88 starts today and for this photo, I'm using a few pieces from the new Snow Day set by Second Spaces. I LOVE this set! There are several pieces because Elle is truly the queen of stuff to clutter your home up with. The lights on my wall are from the set, but I edited them to be bigger and tinted the bulbs red.

Go on! It's time to shop!

There Is No Sweeter Innocence Than Our Gentle Sin

Have you been out to Uber yet? You need to go!! Fri.day has some gorgeous heels out there that you need in your life.




I am loving the Opal heels for Uber this month! They're so sleek and pretty with a super tall heel. You'll need the Slink High feet for these, or whatever the Belleza equivalent is. [I don't have that particular body so I'm not sure what they're called. Sorry!]

Head on out to Uber so you can buy your pretties!

They Helped!

I'm still having fun with my Arcade goodies! My MishMish Hammies and I did a little baking today. And even though I said I wouldn't change out of the sweater I was wearing yesterday, Coldlogic released and well...how can I resist??




Coldlogic released some sweater and skirt outfits today and they're totally cute! I'm wearing the Love outfit and it's just cute cute cute! They are separates, so you can wear the sweaters and skirts with other tops and bottoms.

Pretty much every Arcade, I have to collect the whole set of whatever MishMish puts out and so it was again with the Baking With Hammies set. The MishMish items are usually retired after that round of The Arcade and not sold again, so it's worth collecting the whole set! Look at their little faces! They are the best kitchen helpers ever! I got my cookie tray and the oven mitts from that set, too.

Have a wonderful day!

Hey Boy, You Got Me On My Tip Toes

Hey! Did you know The Arcade opened?? My family loves to hit it up the first couple of days because we like to sell things at our yard sale [sorry, shameless plug], but also because we just LIKE STUFF! This round is my first time really getting to play in forever because before, I couldn't see anything since my computer was so old. My husband is AWESOME, though, and he got me a LOT of things! Like my Erratic sweater that I thought I'd NEVER get! I woke up this morning so happy!





I don't think I can ever take the Hazel Oversized sweater off, however, because it's GOT to be the most dang expensive sweater that I own now! But I also got a lot of socks! I love the Eva holiday socks, also from Erratic, because they are just sooo pretty and fit SO well! But can someone tell me what boots work with these socks, please?!

If you haven't spent all your money on gacha, don't forget that FaMESHed is open, too! I'm wearing the Holly hair from Wasabi Pills because I couldn't resist it. Not only is it cute, but it's got the same name as my RL kitty!

Happy shopping!

Tonight They All Shine For You

I hope your wallets are ready, kids. Here comes the biggest shopping month in SL!




Uber opened up today and I just love the Vivi hair that Truth has out for it! It's a big mass of long curls and waves and it just seems so princessy to me!

Speaking of princesses, Fit For A Princess opens up tomorrow and Hopscotch made some super cute tiaras! The Starry Night tiara looks like shooting stars on top of your head! I definitely think I'll be saving this one for my annual New Year's Eve Eve party!

See you next month!

The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway

Last night, snow came to our home! I got to bust out one of my Coldlogic coats, and hey, guess what? Coldlogic has a Black Friday sale going on TODAY! 50% OFF EVERYTHING!!!




My Baker coat is soooo perfect for the upcoming winter! It's cozy and sweet and has a "dress" to wear underneath if you so choose. And hello? Did I mention it? 50% OFF!! TODAY ONLY!

Go! Go now!

I Won't Let It Go

I'm really not a winter person. I like winter clothing and all, but I hate being cold! This past week it's been ridiculously cold for no good ding dang reason and I started thinking, "What if Queen Elsa was evil?" Then I got a couple of items in SL and bam! Evil Queen Elsa was born!




Exposeur has a pose prop set called Let It Go at The Liaison Collaborative this month. There are three different snowflakes and sparkles things to wear that pose you. I edited the prop for this particular photo so that it would be darker, but the actual item is bright and pretty.

I was not really familiar with the store Dead Dollz because I thought, based off the name, it was a store for the goth crowd. But I came across this post yesterday and headed out to pick up the Cosette dress since it is only $1L. Wow! I was really surprised to see so many gorgeous gowns there! Next time I need to dress up, I know exactly where I'm going! This gown is super pretty, but not full mesh. The top is texture and does not come with any appliers. But for $1L, it's well well worth it!




I absolutely love the Ambrosia hair Truth has out at Uber this month and I think it's just perfect to complete my Evil Queen look! The crown is especially interesting to me because I can't quite figure out what animal the skull is. I'm not normally a big fan of more blunt cut bangs, but I like this hair a lot.

Stay warm, folks!

There are some great events going on right now! The Kawaii Project has every twee, cutie pie thing you could possibly want, and The Liaison Collaborative is getting us all ready for winter! I'm actually having one of those days where I can't concentrate on anything, so you're spared too much of my talking today. :) What you really need to do is go shopping!

There's an art to life's distractions

Sometimes you just don't want to do anything, am I right? You just want to hang out, sit around, distract yourself with looking out at the trees and grass. And you know what? That's TOTALLY okay! You need to do that sometimes!




Fri.day released the new Maggie boots for Collabor88 and I squealed in joy when I saw them! The boots themselves are so pretty, but it's the cute cute sock tops that just make them perfect! The sock tops are detachable and can change colors with a HUD.

Coldlogic released some coats recently, and I am so in love with the Anselmo coat! It reminds me of a bomber style jacket, but all soft and pretty. There is an undershirt to wear with it, but it is detachable.

Oh, and can we talk about my cutiecute pose?? A couple of days ago on Plurk, Olaenka of oOo Studio asked for some pose ideas, and since I'm all full of ideas, I threw some pictures at her. Then she surprised me with a little mini pack of poses named after me! Squee! Thank you, Olaenka!

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

Preparations

My honey has been away for the past few days, but he'll be home soon. I thought I better start getting ready for his return by putting on something pretty. But I don't know... I think he might be okay with just this outfit.




Stellar is at My Slink Obsession with the Eva lingerie, and oh, is it pretty! It has appliers for the Slink Physique body [which I am wearing in the pic] but if you don't have the Physique, there is just regular texture layers in the pack. It looks just as good on the regular body, too!

I think to complete my look, I'll need shoes. I have the perfect pair from Fri.day that are out at Uber this month!




The Eve heels are are great mix of being sexy, fancy, and supremely wearable with a variety of outfits. They come in several colors and are only available at Uber right now.

Time to finish getting ready!

Learning By Osmosis

I was never very studious when in school. My study habits were pretty slim because from the time I was 12 until I left college, my main focus was music. And as much as I wished I could do it, napping with my books and trying to learn by osmosis didn't really work!




The Xiasumi School Festival started this morning and this was honestly not an event that I was aware of until maybe a day ago. But aww! Such cute items! Even if school isn't your thing, you will most likely find something you like. Fri.day is at the festival and I am so here for the Sweat.Shirt! I'm wearing the sports version in this picture, but there is one that is plain as well. And in a little break from shoes and clothes, you can also get the Floor.Pillows by Fri.day at the festival as well. There are a few poses in them, or you can just use them as decor.

See you when the bell rings!

Get It Together

So I'll be the first to admit that November is not my favorite month. In fact, if I could go from October 31st straight to January 2nd, I'd be a happy camper. But sometimes, you just have to pull yourself up and get it together.




I really love the new Gina sweater dresses that Rebel Hope has out at FaMESHed this month! I love a good and cozy sweater dress and this fits the bill nicely. The only thing I would like more is if we could change the color of the belt.

My Vicki boots are also from Rebel Hope for FaMESHed. I changed the color of my boots for this pic so you could see the details a little bit better.




I think the lacing on the back of these boots is so cool! I'm not usually into pointy toed anything when it comes to shoes [even in SL, I'm a stickler for comfort!], but no one would want to mess with you while wearing these because you could kick them and do some damage!

Happy Sunday!

But Why Did She Ask?

Happy Halloween, dear ones! So did you ever wonder while watching The Wizard Of Oz why Glinda asked Dorothy if she was a good witch or a bad witch like, a minute after saying only bad witches are ugly? Glinda, the queen of shade.

If you haven't done it yet, you need to get your Terror-iffic hunting on! It ends tonight!






Tea.S is in the hunt and you can find the Wicked Mat! How cute, right?? I chose the one that says "Go Away" but there is a "Welcome" one, too.

Miseria is also in the Terror-iffic hunt and you can find the Demona stilettos. These are so cute! They have little horns on the tops and heel is like a devil's tail!

Remember that Terror-iffic is a pay hunt, so all the prizes are $5L each. But it is WELL worth it for what you get! Just get it done soon!

By the way, if you're in SL tonight and want to go trick or treating with your family [or just on your own because you like candy!], there is a grid-wide Trick or Treat event happening! Many families, including my own, have set candy out for you to take! Some places REALLY went all out with pumpkin patches and haunted houses and all kinds of stuff! Check it out if you're interested!

Be safe out there tonight, tricksters!

I Just Can't Seem To Shake You, Emily.

One rule I've always had is "DEMO. DEMO. DEMO!!!!" But on occasion, I forget. It never really ends well. Case in point... this absolutely beautiful dress from B.C.C.!




The Emily Romantic Corset Dress by B.C.C. for The Seasons Story is lovely and so completely my style. I was so excited to wear it while we've been on vacation that in my haste, I didn't demo. Unfortunately, the dress is "standard sized" pretty much in name only. The Small does fit me, but then I noticed something really really wrong with the arms.




At first I thought it was my Slink hands because sometimes longer sleeves don't fit quite right over them. But as you can see, my hands stop well before the sleeve starts. I tried moving up to a size Medium, but for some reason, that made the dress completely jam into my shoulders, although the opposite should have been true. I even went up to a size Large, which was not really that much larger than the Small and came with its own set of issues. Then I tried changing my shape, but that didn't really work that well. I sent a notecard to the creator a couple of days ago to ask if maybe I could get a new alpha that goes down a little further on the sleeves, but I don't know how much that's going to fix the problem and I haven't heard anything back anyway.

That all being said, this dress is really really pretty. If you want to buy it, definitely demo it first!

Just A Little Sweet

I'd like to give a special "Hello!" to anyone looking at my blog for the first time via the Old London Docks fashion feed! Welcome! I'm sorry I'm boring! :)

One awesome thing about our Grand Canyon vacation is that we have a bakery just a little ways from the lodge. So when I don't want to make the bigger hike up to the coffee shop, I can pop in here and grab a cupcake. Because really? Hiking in heels is not for the faint of heart.




I really think the Rayna jumper from Drift for The Liaison Collaborative this month is adorable! It's very simple, but there are HUDs so you can change the color and the fabric of the jumper. I'm wearing it in blue tweed, but you can also wear it in a different color and a cotton fabric.

Ingenue released the Grady heels for Collabor88 this month, and they're just perfect! I should have gotten a better shot of them [sorry, I have vacation brain] but there is a tiny little key hanging off of the button on the strap. So cute! You will need the Slink medium feet for these.

Have a great humpday!

Had To Get Away

Happy Sunday! If you don't follow my personal blog, you might not know that my family and I are on vacation this week! We just arrived here last night, so today I had a chance to explore a bit. And it's a good thing I have new boots to go hiking in.






Fri.day is at Collabor88 this month with the Wendy boots. These are awesome! I have been looking for lace up boots like this for a while, and the fact that they come with a sock top is even better. You don't have to wear the top, but it's super cute. The sock, laces, and eyelets are all color change with a HUD, and you can resize through the HUD as well. For those of you who are into just a little bit of mayhem this Halloween season, there is even a little blood splatter you can put on your boots.

I hope everyone has had a marvelous weekend!

And Then She Returns

What? Two posts in one day? What kind of craziness is this?! But seriously, y'all, I had to do another because there is just so much awesome stuff out there!

Rebel Hope is at The Liaison Collaborative this month with the Lia dress and the Destiny thigh high boots. Sexy!!






Short, tight, and showing skin in all the right places, this dress is ridiculously hot. But make sure you wear underpants because I just upskirted myself and hello dolly! The boots are just awesome, too! I adore the zipper detail up the back and the larger zipper pull that goes over the thin heel.

Pairing this look up with the Thalia hair and crown from Truth for the Mystic Realms Faire made me feel like Persephone, queen of the underworld. She goes back to the underworld in the fall, you know.

And speaking of the underworld...




Stellar made fantastic nail polish and a matching rings set called Hellraiser for My Slink Obsession this month! The rings are all together and fit the casual Slink hands the best, but they are mod so you can make sure that you get the best fit. And the nail polish is a glossy red to black fade that looks great if you have your nails at any length. I just chose the pointed nails to complete my look today.

I promise, last post here today. But more tomorrow!

Checking In

There are SO many things going on right now, y'all! I might need to start posting twice a day just to show it all! [Okay, okay. Let's not get crazy.]

How cool is the Checkout At 11 set by Second Spaces for Collabor88?








You THINK it's just a run down hotel set, but then you check the guestbook. Oh my! That's not a hotel I want to stay at!! There are 5 pieces to the set - the counter, the hutch, the guestbook, and 2 luggage trolleys, one with and one without luggage. Total land impact for the set if you use the trolley with the luggage is only 7. ONLY 7!

Trunk or Treat started today and that is where I got my Happy Halloween Garland from Windsong. The garland is free! You really want to check out this event, especially if you are a kid! There are a few gachas, lots of very inexpensive items, and freebies, too!

Happy shopping!

I Never Know

So here's the thing about me. I never know what actually goes together. Weird confession from a fashion blogger, right? Part of the reason I'm so slow with blogging most of the time is because I have NO clue how to really dress myself and pretty much everything I put together is a big accident. I have lots of pieces that I love, but putting them together is hard for me! I know that today, I really like my outfit. Does it all really go together? Not a clue. But I'm happy!




FaMESHed opened last week and how cute is the Miss Muffet outfit from Cracked Mirror?? The cardigan and shirt are actually two pieces, so you can put another shirt underneath and wear the cardigan with something else. The fluffy pleated skirt is just all kinds of cute. And as you can see, it all fits over the Slink Physique body pretty darn well. There are fitted mesh versions of the clothes in addition to the standard sizes, if you're into that kind of thing.

Have you been out to Uber yet? It's a hot one! I'm wearing the Validation shoes from L.Warwick that you can find out there, and although you can't really tell in the picture, they have a great wedge heel. Truth is also at Uber with the Vixen hair and if it were summer and I were still blonde, you'd confuse me with Marilyn Monroe. [Well...maybe.] The Vixen hair also comes with a mask for when you want be in costume.

Have a great day!

I Know A Girl That's Tough But Sweet

Candy in the morning time,
Candy in the hot sunshine.
Candy baby, can't you see,
All I want is your candy!




Candy Fair is open! There are tons of candy inspired items out there, including the Candy Colors pose box by Exposeur! How cute is this thing? It's colorful and fun, and full of poses. I ADORE pose box things like this because it totally makes my job a lot easier since I don't have to set up a scene or find a place to take a pic. You need it!

When I was looking for an outfit to wear for this post, I hopped around to several events and stores, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Then I thought, "Is Bare Rose still around?" That used to be my go-to place for fanciful, whimsical outfits that were completely budget friendly. They ARE still around, and they are making mesh! [Look for the mesh wall or anything with an M on it.] I'm wearing the Ichigo Cream outfit and oh my gosh, is it precious! It comes with 2 colors and the boots came with the outfit. Don't expect demos on most of the Bare Rose mesh stuff, and don't expect standard sizing. I fit in this perfectly out of the box and I am normally a standard size small. This particular outfit is rigged, but I did see some things that were not rigged so you could edit them to your body. Still, not too shabby for under $200L!!

Have a sweet day!

Give A Girl The Right Shoes And She Can Conquer The World

Do you ever go to take a picture and you find the right pose and the right angle and then you realize "Oh my god, this looks like I have no clothes on!" Yeah, that's me today. I'm not naked! Just focus on my fab new shoes!





The Gathering is a cool gacha event happening this month, and Fri.day is participating! I love the Xela heels for the event. They have a super high, thick heel, wrap all the way up to your ankles, and the back has a big bow. There are options for the Slink and Belleza feet. The shoes come in 5 colors and are only $50L a play. That is a heck of a deal!

Please remember that there is a script limit of 50MB enforced at The Gathering, so take off your radars and scripted jewelry and all of that. I know you guys know how to be cool at events to keep them as lag free as possible, but sometimes we do forget something here and there. I usually forget to take my wedding ring off and it's sooo scripty!

The Gathering is going on from now until October 15th, so go get your gacha on!

Feels A Lot Like Love

Oh look, it's not just me in my blog today! *laughs* I coerced my dear husband to pose with me since he's sporting something new from FATEwear!




We have trouble finding clothes for Aldwyn a lot of the time. He's just a regular ol' guy and likes regular ol' guy clothes. So many times, what we see is just not his style at ALL. Luckily, we never have a problem at FATEwear! He's wearing one of the new Robertson sweaters today, and I like it a lot. [Because what I think is really the most important part of it all, right?] I really like turtlenecks on men, so this is definitely a fall fave for me.

My Attic is still going on and I'm wearing one of the Color Striped dresses by Stellar that you can find out at the event. There is matching nail polish for the different colors of the dresses, too!

Have a wonderful day!

At The End Of The Day

Do you have stores where no matter what they release or how often they release, you get totally excited? Coldlogic and Truth are those stores for me!




Coldlogic just did a big fall release and I am so here for it! I was wearing the new Caron cropped sweater last night and my husband immediately told me how cute it was. It's a winner! I didn't think I was going to like the new Leck pants because of the tiny ankles, but once I put them on, I realized how adorable they really are. The whole release is really cute, so you need to check it out.

Truth released Shae recently and it's the hair I needed in my life. Truth does amazing braids anyway, but this big fluffy side braid is so so gorgeous, I can't get enough of it.

I hope fall is treating all of you well!

The Nostalgia For What Never Was

A couple of days ago as I was logging in, I noticed on the Firestorm login screen they were promoting A Clockwork Spiral. It's a steampunk themed charity event benefiting the National Kidney Foundation. I was intrigued because in my many years in SL, I have always been fascinated by the steampunk genre, although I know very little about it. My darling husband and I went out there last night and he treated me to a couple of things I just have to blog!




The cool thing about this event is that I got to see stores that I'd never heard of before, like Kita's Sideshow. The Inventor's Daughter is such a classy dress! Actually, it's two pieces, so you could wear the skirt and shirt separately. I love it!

NanTra poses is also out at ACS with the Dozer's Divan. There are 10 poses in it, and 5 textures to choose from. Plus for a couple of the poses, you get to hold a cane, and it came with the cool little monocle that I'm wearing.

And check out my cool watch!




The Mechanika fob watch by Eclectica is probably my new favorite thing! You all know how much I adore dragonflies, so this makes my heart happy. It actually tells time [you can set the time zone] and the gears move!

A Clockwork Spiral runs until October 1st, so head on over and get some pretties!

Party Girls Don't Get Hurt

Have you been out to FaMESHed yet? Or to Truth for his new releases? Are you waiting for My Attic? So many questions! :)





FaMESHed really has been spectacular this month, and I am loving the Tie Dye Tanks and Sparta leather pants by Cracked Mirror! I feel like if you go out to clubs or out dancing a lot, you'll make a splash out on the dance floor in this outfit!

Truth released a couple of new hairs recently, and Cameo is a great party hair! It's very full and if you use one of the dipped colors, you get that extra bit of "rockstar" to your look.

My Attic opens up on the 21st and L.Warwick will be there with the new Elation heels. I love love the retro feel of these, along with the awesome textures! They're for the Slink medium feet, and there is also a pair to fit the upcoming Belleza mesh body.

Have a great shopping day!

Just A Walk In The Park

The Home and Garden Expo is OPEN!! This is one of my favorite events of the year and I was thrilled to be invited back as a blogger for the third year in a row. The H&G Expo raises money for Relay For Life of Second Life, which donates money to the American Cancer Society.

Funky Junk is part of the Expo this year and I'm loving the Small Garden Park!




I'll admit, I'm the worst at landscaping, so it's awesome for me when people put together things that I can just throw out and it's instapretty. There are four sections of this, 3 with trees and one with the little pond that has fish. [There is another version that does not have the pond.] I put this in the middle of a bunch of trees, but since it's all contained in the brick walls, you can really put it anywhere you want. The Small Garden Park with the pond is 39 land impact [the one without the pond is 30] and currently available at the H&G Expo.

The Home and Garden Expo runs until September 28th.

Though This Feeling I Can't Change

I'm not really the dressy type these days. You're much more likely to find me in jeans and flats. But once in a while, my "fancy" comes out!







The Liaison Collaborative is OPEN and how fab is the Narcissist dress by Valentina E?? It comes in two options, one with the closed high front [which I'm wearing because I'm a lady] and one with the open front to show off plenty of cleavage. Both have the low open back. The jeweled necklace comes with a texture change option, as well.

Collabor88 is going strong and you have to check out the new Gloria heels by Fri.day! These shoes are for the Slink high feet, and they are indeed high! The heel is super tall and the glittery strap snakes up your foot in a flattering way. You neeeed these heels in your life.

Oh, do you like my little bird friends? They're out at TLC this month from Half+Deer! They're from The Mad Scientist's Bird and Cage set. The little metal birds' eyes pulsate and glow, but it's not distracting at all.

Happy shopping!

If you want to call me baby, just go ahead now

So while everyone is going Arcade crazy, don't forget that there are other marvelous events going on this month!




I was just thinking to myself that I don't have a really good, messy, big hairstyle. But thanks to Soonsiki, I do now! The Sharona hair by Soonsiki [formerly Milk] is at FaMESHed this month and really? Who doesn't need some wild, crazy hair?

Emery is also at FaMESHed and I am just in love with the Love Music sweatshirt! This is exactly my style! Just simple and cozy and oh-so-cute. I have a feeling I'll be throwing this on as often as I throw on my favorite Maitreya jeans!

My Slink Obsession starts a new round tomorrow!




I got my new nail polish from [no relation to my husband] Zanzibar Creationz! This is the Scratch manicure and it's just a nice little fade polish with some swirly scratches throughout. My Slink Obsession has items that are JUST for the Slink products.

Happy shopping, everyone!
