Gotta Make 'em Wanna Come Back For More!

More goodies from FaMESHed today!




Cracked Mirror came out with this cute cute Resolutions dress! It's a simple dress with a pretty little belt and comes in several colors. If your resolution this year was to look more adorable - you need this dress!

Maxi Gossamer has her Anukaa Beads & Ethiopian Cross necklaces for this round of FaMESHed. I'm wearing just the cross in this photo, but in the pack of necklaces there are all kinds of combinations of beads and such to wear.

Time for more shopping!

I Get Too Hungry For Dinner At Eight

My dear forever sister, Rylan Carling, decided to hang up her hat as far as SL fashion blogging goes today. I'm sad, because Rylan has definitely been one of my fashion inspirations for many years now, but I also know that she has so many amazing things that are going to be happening in her offline life. So as much as I want to be selfish and tell her to keep doing it, I am happy for her for so many other reasons. While I was doing my photo tonight, I thought about her. The lighting in the picture reminded me of one she did for my husband and me last year, so Ry, this post is dedicated to you! ILY!!!




Alice Project has been doing the Advent gift giving over on Mint Tulip this month and it's been great! Plus, if you miss any of the gifts, Alice has helpfully put them on the wall for the low low price of $50L each. I combined the Bonnie bangs from today's gift with the Clarissa hair from a previous gift. Since the bangs are not rigged, it was no problem moving them around to fit the hair. I have kind of a fivehead, so I almost always need bangs!

Coldlogic put out the cutest party dresses last week! I'm wearing Merry in Emerald since it IS the Pantone color of 2013! I just love this dress. It's a simple, classy party dress and, as you all KNOW I love, you can dress it up and down in many ways.

Collabor88 is still going strong, and you'll want to stop by to get Maxi Gossamer's Patience heart watch necklace, Marukin's Dolce & Frais poses, and the Snowy City Loft by Barnesworth Anubis.

Happy Shopping!

So Really I Better Scurry

Hello readers! Did you miss me? I know, probably were too busy shopping to notice I was gone, right? I don't blame you a bit! Sooo much goodness has come out in the past week!




Collabor88 is unbelievable this month! I'm so happy with the Chaud dresses from Ingenue, I hardly know what to do. I've said it time and time again, but I adore simple pieces that you can dress up or down in so many ways, and this fits the bill! I dressed this one up with the Baboushka fur collar and fur hat from Maxi Gossamer at C88. I love all the fluff! And Fashionably Dead has some awesome Knee High mesh socks [the tops are mesh, not the actual sock part] that I couldn't resist wearing. My thighs might get cold, but who cares when I look this cute, am I right?

Also at C88, Trompe Loeil has the cutest little mesh winter cottage called Frostbite! Because it sits on its own snowpile and has trees, you really could just put it anywhere! The inside is basically just one room and has a fireplace. Cozy!

You have more shopping to do, and so do I!

Buffalo Gals, Won't You Come Out Tonight?

I'm watching "It's A Wonderful Life" right now and the song "Buffalo Gals" will be in my head for days! But I had to show you guys some newness from this month's FaMESHed!




Pink Outfitters brings us the Tori Bodycon dresses this month. It's a simple dress, which you all know I adore, with a nice little belt. You could, of course, wear it without the belt, or if you have another one that fits over the dress, that would work, too! The thing I love about classic dresses is that you can dress them up or down in so many ways!

And oh my GOD, look at the Fufu Bag from Maxi Gossamer! I seriously squealed when I saw these purses because I have a total love of sparkly, pretty, party purses! I'm carrying the silver shimmer one, but the combo pack comes with black feather as well. Also, you have the option to carry it in your hand or on your shoulder.

As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street...

I Hope To Be There By The Morning

Quiet day for me today. I'm really just waiting for the morning.




Couple of events to tell you about: The Unhinged event kicked off today and there are a lot of great designers involved. This event is a charity fundraiser for Second Lifer Eku Zhong. I don't know Eku myself, but when so many people are willing to help you out, you've got to be a pretty special person. You can read all about the event on this page.

FAIR starts on November 17th, and as usual, it's going to be fantastic! Lots of great items and I'll definitely been showing you guys more from the event after it opens.

Happy shopping!

Picture Perfect Memories

The Scorpio round of Zodiac starts tomorrow!! I adore Zodiac, I think the designers always have so much fun with it and make so many things that I just HAVE to have!




Bilo has these really lovely Hiba dresses for Zodiac. I just can never have enough casual dresses. Sometimes all you want is something pretty and simple to put on so you can look presentable without having to fuss too much. But you can most definitely dress this up with higher heels and more jewelry. I kept it simple here because that's the mood I was in.

I think the Hiba dress also goes really well with the Coffee Bean jewelry Izzie's has for FAIR! I'm not a coffee addict [anymore] but I think coffee bean jewelry is really unique and fun!

As always, have fun shopping!

It Was Like A Movie

Cinema is coming on October 13th! Have you heard about this? It's a fabulous new event brought to you by The Hottie Cooterati Experience and is centered around the movies! There are so many fantastic creators taking part, and I know you all will simply love it. Better start saving those $Lindens if you can, because there's going to be a lot to shop for!




Zaara is in Cinema and brings us this just simply lovely Runa dress. It's mesh, of course, and knotted in the front. If you're like me and adore classic styles, this is the dress for you!

If you really can't wait until 13th to spend your money, head over to Collabor88 and pick up the Garden Party set from Cheeky Pea and Pilot! It's SO cool and comes with the table, canopy bench, tree, and bird cages you see behind me, plus a blanket for the ground that is not shown. I truly love this set!

Have a great shopping day!

She's An Uptown Girl

Have you been to the Coldlogic sale yet? No? Let me give you another reason to go!




The new Manza dress has just been released and it's just lovely! Very figure flattering and sexy, and gives you a "Ka-POW!" booty! Seriously, I turned to the side and thought, "Holy COW. Look at my butt!" And well, if that's not a glowing recommendation on why you should buy this dress, I don't know what would be. :-p

A Little Cleaning Up

So my dear husband is out of town this weekend, and I figured it would be a great time to clean up a bit around the house. Luckily with the Fancy Feathers collaborative set from Exposeur and Cheeky Pea for Zodiac, I can get all the dusting done!




Miel put out just the cutest little minidresses for today's Fifty Linden Friday! The Playa dress is short and sexy, and has some great color change options via an easy to use HUD.

Spruce Up Your Space starts tomorrow, and MudHoney has this really sweet Harriet set for us. The chair even has an animation to pet a kitty! My kitty from this month's Collabor88 has a new place to sit!

Okay, back to cleaning. I can't let him come home to a dirty house!

There's No Gravity To Hold Me Down

I wasn't going to blog the new Xarra tunic by Maitreya. It's super cute and I do love it, but I figured it would be blogged a whole lot by much better bloggers than me. :) I was right, of course! [And let's face it, I'm also super lazy and figured it was a good excuse to not blog.] But I cannot resist blogging an outfit if I actually think I look pretty because I struggle at styling myself!




Truth released new hair today, and I just fell in love with the Bria hair! Long and pinned to the side? Yes, please! Not gonna lie, I'm probably going to try to replicate this style on my real hair and then be sad that it doesn't look as good.

I hopped over to The Dressing Room today [I THINK it's the last day for the current cycle, but don't quote me on that] and picked up these cute Brera pumps by YS&YS. I'm wearing the version with socks, but there is a prim foot-no sock version as well. And I couldn't resist snatching up Glam Affair's Cassiopea Retro skin while I was at TDR! It's just so pretty!

For someone who didn't plan on blogging today, I sure have written a lot!

Vintage Fair Starts Today!

Vintage Fair 2012 kicks off today! SO EXCITED! I'm short on time this morning, but I just HAD to show you guys a little more stuff!




I know, I'm not usually a redhead, but I was simply called to this color when I put on the Veronica hair by Wasabi Pills! I've been looking for a good Veronica Lake style hair in SL forever, and this one is perfect! Especially paired up with the new Vintage Hollywood skin from Adam n Eve! You get a bunch of lipsticks, eye shadows and nail colors with this skin as well, so you can definitely make your own look.

One Bad Pixel brings us the Vintage dress, and I'm not sure when I'll take it off. It also comes with a smart cropped jacket, which I'm not wearing in the photo but can't wait to pair with many other things! And of course you know SLink never disappoints your feet, and these adorable Vintage Two Strap pumps are so very yum!

Vintage Fair begins at 4pm SLT, and THIS PAGE will give you the map and SLurls. [I'll add the direct fair SLurl to my credits.] Remember, events are VERY VERY VERY LAGGY the first few days, so take off your scripted items and your flexi ball gowns and your crazy wings. No one is looking at you anyway, they just want to see the stuff! Have fun, vintage fans!

Oh Miss Brady!

Sometimes I think I was born at the wrong time because I just get such a thrill out of more vintage/retro clothing!




When you get to go to Vintage Fair on Saturday, be sure to stop by Coldlogic and pick up the Brady dress. I mean, really? Why wouldn't you? It's adorable! And YES, quite Brady Bunch! I really wish I had a dress like this in RL!

I wasn't sure what shoes I'd pair with this and then I saw the 1970s Heel from new-to-me store ChaChaDee! They are just the perfect little Marcia Brady shoe, don't you think?

FaMESHed started today and Wasabi Pills put out the Sylvie hair. It's a simply sweet ponytail style and what I like best about it is that you can wear it with shorts or jeans, but it would also look just as good with a pretty cocktail dress. You all know me - I love versatility in things!

More shopping to do!

And the livin' is easy

Another Collabor88 post! This month's round is so amazing, I almost can't stand it.




Kyoot brings us the very pretty Whitehaven Beach Dress, which is partial mesh. For those of you who claim that mesh doesn't fit you, these types of dresses are a great option because the mesh "flap" works so much better than the typical prim flap. I love the lace texture work on the front, and the Garbo Graduated combo necklace from Maxi Gossamer pairs up with this nicely.

Trompe Loeil always does such great mesh skyboxes and the Sunbleached skybox is no exception. It's very well made and simply gorgeous! Plus it will only run you about 60 prims, so if you're looking for a summer home or just a place to get away, this is a great choice.

Collabor88 is open now, so head on over!

Go Go Godzilla!

I've been feeling a little like Godzilla lately. I stomp around and growl! But, it happens, and today I'm a little less stompy and growly with the new release for Truth District that The Sea Hole put out!




The new Zilla dress is just whimsical and cute! A simple mesh dress, the fun of this one comes from the print at the bottom of Godzilla attacking a city! Too adorable!

Do you like Maitreya discounts? Me too! And if you're in their VIP group, head over to the store and pick up these Radical boots at a great discount! They are mesh, but I'm sure I didn't need to tell you all that. There are some free mesh lashes and a free mesh skirt there as well, so don't forget to get those.

Stomping off now!

You Don't Need A Mirror To Know You Look Good

If you haven't been to FaMESHed this month, you need to goooo!




JANE has some cute dresses at FaMESHed for June, like this Mary Ellen dress! It's simple and classic. And yes, this is my 2nd JANE post this week. Y que? :-p

The Fairy Tales event opens on Friday, and from what I can tell, it's going to be a lot of fun shopping! I'm wearing the Princess hair from Wasabi Pills for the event and even though I'm not really a short hair kind of girl, I love it! It reminds me of how my hair was cut back when I was around 21. Cute!

Come On Over

When I saw the new Shasta dresses from JANE, I immediately thought of a pretty housewife, maybe back in the 50s or so. I absolutely love vintage inspired clothing, so this is definitely a dress for me!




Okay, so maybe it's a little shorter and more low cut than an old school housewife would wear, but that's what makes it fresh! It is mesh, of course, and comes in standard sizes. By the way, all of the older JANE mesh clothing [before standard sizing!] is on clearance! But hurry in, you only have a couple of weeks before it's retired forever.

Don't you love when house makers make decor sets to match houses? Funky Junk recently released the super pretty Beatrice house, and the new Beatrice kitchen was made to match! It's not just pretty, it's interactive! You can cook, wash dishes, sit around. It's fun! For those of you who like a little more realism in your SL, this is the kitchen for you. Come on over, I'll make you some soup!

Mad Glam

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm one of probably 4 people in the world who doesn't watch Mad Men. So when Trompe Loeil released the NYC66 apartment for Collabor88 and people told me it was a recreation of Don Draper's home, I could have been told it's Tony Danza's apartment and not known the difference. But what I DO know is that it's awesome!



All mesh, mostly furnished, and only 260 land impact! Amazing! It's also more of a masculine home, so you men out there are sure to love it.

Glam Affair released a couple of great things for Collabor88 this month! The Zoe dress is a lovely little mesh number. You could easily pair this with boots or heels, or wear it over leggings or even jeans. So versatile!

The Mia skin is quite pretty, although not my normal style. I really love the bright eye makeup to match this month's Collabor88 theme. Here's a close up shot.

Shindig

I love the 7th of every month for one huge reason... Collabor88 starts the next day!! This month's theme of "Shindig" is a blend of summery citrusy colors that you won't want to pass up!




Chantkare brings us the Shaggylicious mesh sundress. It's a simple dress but the colors in this just POP! Paired up with Ingenue's mesh Jive wedges, also at Collabor88, you have a great summer look!

NOT at Collabor88, the new Harmony chairs from aDORKable Poses! This is such a fun photo prop! There are 5 poses in the chairs and the chairs move around with each pose. I'm sure I'll be on these again soon because seriously? It's just too cute!

Hope you weren't planning on saving your money this weekend because I don't think it's going to happen!

Several Amazing Pixels

I kind of embarrassed myself earlier when the new One Bad Pixel releases were shown. Before I could stop myself, I wrote "I want to lick the dresses!" Who SAYS that? But for real...look how pretty this one is!




I'm wearing the Chryssie Maxi Dress and I'm so in love with it, I might not take it off for a while. It's just so pretty! It has one strap that goes around the back, shows plenty of cleavage, and it's long, but not so long that it's sinking into the ground. I'm barefoot in this photo and the dress just skims the ground. There are a dozen colors and I just KNOW this will be a summer staple!

If you haven't been out to CHIC² yet, go go go! You NEED the Anais 2 hair from Wasabi Pills! I was a huge fan of the first version of this hair with the ponytail, and now I love this version even more!

Oh, and if you didn't know, Zaara is having their annual sale until June 9th! 50% off all items, so head out there and shop! I've been in love with the Indra painted stacked bangles for a long time! And after you hit up the Zaara sale, head to Long Awkward Pose for the final closing sale. It's sad, but at least you can pick up some awesome poses for cheap!

Time for more shopping!

Meet Me In The Garden

I can't say I've ever been much of an outdoorsy type of girl. But I do appreciate the outdoors if it's nice and clean. The Songo Courtyard Garden by Barnesworth Anubis for this month's Collabor88 fits the bill just perfectly!




175 prims of lovely, this skybox is just gorgeous for if you choose to not live in a regular house, or if you just need somewhere for pictures. It comes with a few furniture pieces to match. Love!

Also on my "Omg I love it!" list this week, the new Gish dress from coldLogic! As soon as I put the demo on, I KNEW I had to have it! The belt is separate so you can use it in other outfits. I thought the new Kirby hair from Truth was totally perfect for the style of this dress. Both the dress and the hair are mesh, so if you're STILL holding out on buying mesh... I don't even know what to tell you. :-p

I think it's time to relax a bit in the garden.
