What's New, Pussycat?

I picked a great time to get over my cold that had me knocked out last week because there's lots of new goodies from Collabor88 and Coldlogic!




Kitsch is the theme for this month's Collabor88 and the creators really had fun with the theme! There are a lot of brightly colored items in fun prints, if that's your thing, it's absolutely worth a look! I'm all about bright colors, so naturally I found this month's theme wonderful!

Coldlogic released some new dresses today and oh my goodness... If you like cleavage, you will LOVE a few of the dresses!! I'm wearing the Bailey dress. It looks more modest, but it's backless and I find that a lot more sexy than showing a ton of cleavage sometimes!

Tons more to shop for, so quit reading and go do it!

Thin line between dreams and memories

I'll admit, I am a home decorating junkie! I pick up so much home and garden stuff, it is probably the biggest folder in my entire inventory, and that's really saying something if you've ever seen my inventory. Collabor88 gave me another H&G fix this month because there are some cute cute things for all your decorating needs.

So Glad I Was There

I'm happy every day that I log into Second Life, but I'm even happier when there's new pretties to get!




Coldlogic just did a new release and I'm so into this Norton combo! It comes in several colors, of course, but the coral color just called out to me! You also have the option of just using the cardigan. Yay!

And oh my gosh, how perfect does the Khaleesi's Temptation necklace from Maxi Gossamer for Collabor88 work with this outfit?? Total love!

I have loads more shopping to do today, and so do you, so let's get to it!

Lady of the House

The Pisces round of Zodiac starts tomorrow and oh my gosh, is it a good one!




Zodiac has many awesome designers, as usual, and so so many things that I know you guys will just love. It opens tomorrow [the 19th] at 12pm SLT. See you there!

Happy Valentine's Day, Baby.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Last night, my adorable husband came home and saw me. His first words were, "Are you only wearing a trench coat?" Nope....I have shoes on, too.




Have you heard about the Coldlogic anniversary photo contest? You could receive all new releases for a WHOLE YEAR if you win! Who wouldn't love that, right?? Just go over here to the blog post to find out all the details!

If you're part of the Gos Boutique in-world group, head on over to the store to pick up your free pair of red glitter Grace heels! Remember, you have to be part of the Gos BOUTIQUE group, not the Collective! It is a $500L joining fee now, so if you didn't get in on it while it was free last week, you'll need to pay. It's worth it, though!

Collabor88 is still going strong and although a little late to the party, Barnesworth Anubis has his new Chinoiserie bedroom set out now! There are a BUNCH of animations in the bed...you know, for all your Valentine needs. *wink wink nudge nudge*

I'm gonna go spend my WHOLE ENTIRE TEN LINDENS that Linden Labs was so nice to give us last night. Have a great day, everyone!

I have lots of shopping to do tonight, and I know you all do, too, so it's just a pic and credits today! I'll be back to my long winded self later! :)

Working For The Weekend

Back when I used to work in offices, I liked outfits that I could take from day to night with a few little adjustments. My outfit today reminds me of something I would have worn back then.




I decided to hit up two new-to-me stores today! I know, after my Coldlogic kick, it's probably a shock! :-p First up, I hit VinCue and got the Knotty tank. It's so cute! I love the little tie in the front. The cool thing about this is that while I'm wearing it basically solid here, it comes with a HUD and while the top part stays whatever color you buy, the bottom has 9 colors to choose from. Love!

Then I ran over to Mutresse and picked the Simona trousers. You can never ever go wrong with a classic pair of trousers that have a flattering cut!

Zaara just released new mesh jewels! The Atiriya jewelry set is just total love. I'm wearing the necklace and a bracelet, but there are earrings as well. I didn't put them on because with my new [and so super cute!] Lavinia hair from Truth, they wouldn't have shown.

I want to know about more new-to-me stores! What are some of your favorite little places that might not be well known yet?

Dressing For Jesus [With Love To December!]

We were having a discussion on plurk last night about an upcoming fair that caters more to the more trampy side of SL and my friend December said, "I need a Dressing For Jesus fair." See, not everyone in SL WANTS to have their "boobadoos" out all of the time. Once in a while, SURE!! But all of the time? Nooo. Some of us want clothes that are cute and cover our bodies. Not that there's anything wrong with having your bits and pieces all out there for the world to see constantly if that's REALLY what you want out of SLife, but for some of us, we like simple clothing that is both lovely and modest.

I dedicate this post to December, someone who proves that you can be adorable and beloved in both worlds without your "Virginia and Cleveland" on display. ♥♥♥

She Refused To Be Bored Chiefly Because She Wasn't Boring

One of my pet peeves is when someone says they're bored a lot. Really? With everything that's going on in the world, you're constantly bored? What the heck is wrong with you?? How can you be bored?? Well, there's no WAY you can be bored today because Coldlogic just released new clothes!




The Lovern dress is totally a love for me! I love how it's the perfect blend of fancy and casual. I paired it up with the new Hill mesh leggings. These leggings are very awesome in that they come with 3 different cuffs so you can wear with different shoes. I'm wearing them in cuff #3, which is about mid-calf. I did have to do some minor editing to my leg warmers from G Field to fit the leg over the legging, but truly, they were very small edits. They also come with leggings for dresses that are much slimmer on the hips. Don't get scared like I did when you try on your regular size and find that you're muffin topping like crazy!

Time to do more shopping!

You Were Only Waiting For This Moment To Arise

I love when new stuff comes out. I really do! And I love it even more when it's pretty pretty pretty!




Ava is a new skin from Belleza, and I fell in love with it at first demo! In fact, and I hardly EVER say this about a skin, but I have not seen anyone in it who doesn't look amazing. If you fatpack it, you get the whole lipstick bundle, too, although you could just buy the plain skin and then the lips and then use whatever eye makeups you like. It's quite versatile! I fatpacked, of course, because it's what I do.

Truth released new hair and Edith may be my favorite of the three new releases. It's a gorgeous long hair topped with a casual knit cap. More hats and more accessories on hairs, please!!

Cae is in Collabor88 this month and she's spoiling us with the loopy swoopy Guinevere set. Look how cool the necklace is! And the earrings, which you can't see under my hair, have not left my ears since the first of the month.

Go do some shopping!

There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.

Ever had one of those weeks where all you want to do is kick off your shoes, take off your pretty dress, and sink into a hot bath? Oh yeah, totally that kind of week!






I'm not really in the mood to write and I'm sure you guys would rather shop, so make sure you hit up Collabor88 and FaMESHed!

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 Think I'll Go For A Walk Outside Now

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you guys had a great one! I love the start of a new year - everything is shiny and fresh. And happily, the start of 2013 brings us a new round of FaMESHed!




The new Libby shirts from E! are just my style! Little argyle sweater vest over a pretty blouse? Yes PLEASE! You can choose either a black or a white shirt, too.

I really like the Charlie pants from Rebel Hope, also at FaMESHed. Sometimes you need a nice, classic, plain pair of pants to wear and these fit the bill perfectly! Oh, and even though you can't see it in my picture, the butt on these pants is cute cute cute! The matching Charlie bag was also a must-have!

FaMESHed lasts until almost the end of the month, so you have plenty of time to go...but why would you wait?!

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! We had our New Year's Eve Eve party last night and it was a blast!! For my last blog of 2012, I decided to show last night's party outfit. [Well, after I found my shoes!]




Please be safe if you're going out tonight! I want to see everyone back in 2013!!

It's the hap-happiest season of all!

Oh, look at this place! It's beautifully decorated, isn't it?




I just love when I stumble upon sims where I can take pictures. It's so helpful that people decorate so that... What? It's not a sim? OH THAT'S RIGHT. It's a collaboration piece from Pilot and Exposeur!




This wonderful winter Snow Globe makes my heart happy! I collect snow globes in SL, and actually being in one is awesome! Pilot does wonderful mesh work, and Exposeur makes some of the best poses on the grid, so now could this NOT be full of fantastic?? This globe comes in at 44 Land Impact, and has 7 couples poses, 3 group poses, 5 female poses and 5 male poses. Also, there's a little mini version [3 LI] of the globe for decoration! I already have it out on one of our shelves!

I think more people need to do collaboration projects. When two awesome creators combine forces, it's pretty much always amazing!

Living Glam At The Christmas Expo

Have you been to the RFL Christmas Expo yet? No? Well, you better hurry! It ends tomorrow!




I stumbled upon new-to-me store LIV-Glam while at the Expo yesterday, and I couldn't resist the Amy trench coat! It's a real steal at only $99L and comes with a HUD so you can change your coat into one of thirteen colors. There is also a special colored trench that is just for RFL that you can buy separately. I think it's very cute, although I wish the inside was not transparent. In certain poses, you can really tell the transparency. [Look at my left wrist to see what I mean.] But for such a cute and affordable coat, trust me, I'll let it slide!

The RFL Christmas Expo ends tomorrow, December 19th, so scoot on over and check it out!

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...

It's More Than A Touch Or A Word We Say

I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend! And speaking of fabulous...




My friend Caelan Hancroft opened her new jewelry store, Cae, this weekend! Look how pretty her Entangled set is! Choker, ring, earrings, cuff - all beautiful! I can't wait to see what else Cae is going to have in store for us in the future!

And you know a weekend isn't complete until Truth releases pretties for us! I'm wearing Adeline and I'm sooo into braids lately, so I jumped for joy when I saw this hair style!

Happy shopping, y'all!
