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. ♥

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! :)

Let's get away

I don't know about you guys, but I would love to just get away for a weekend! But since I can't, SL is the next best thing. Especially with all the newness this weekend!!




For Lazy Sunday today, you can stop over at Ingenue and pick up this really cute Little Angel t-shirt. It even has little wings drawn on the back. So precious! There are other designs and colors as well, so run over quickly! And of course a weekend isn't complete without something new from Truth. The new Bree hair is gorgeous! A side swept long long ponytail, Truth is awesome and did both regular and split attachments. Of course, you might not need the split attachments if you use the new Hairy Situations long hair poses from Long Awkward Pose! More long hair poses, please!!

Oh, do you like the house I'm standing in front of? You want to see more?




For the Knitting Circle Bake Sale this weekend, you can get the My Getaway house from Funky Junk. It's SO freaking cute! It's tiny, just the perfect size for a cozy beach getaway. I'm showing the stilted version, which comes in at a small 83 prims. If you're not one for stilts, the included non-stilted version is just 68 prims. It has a 7x13 footprint, so even a 512 parcel of land can carry it off. Buy it!

I have to go hem pants. Jealous?

Give the lady what she wants!

I'm still having way too much fun playing with Depth of Field on the LL viewer! But that is okay, because really, the background isn't as important as my outfit, right? Right!




There were some goodies released this weekend! From G Field, these utterly lovely Lucy lace tops are necessities for anyone's wardrobe. You can wear them short or longer, and with or without the torso prim. So very ladylike! And the best part is that these truly will take you from summer to winter, depending on how you style them. Love!

But although we DO strive to be ladies sometimes, we don't want to be prudes, and that's where the fun, flirty, and really short Mani skirt from perennial favorite Nyte n Day comes in. I simply LOVE this skirt. It is sculpted, but so very very easy to fit with either the resizer script or by hand. I used the resizer and it worked great! Several colors are available, and trust me, I'll be going back to pick more up!

Go shop!

Ebony & Ivory

I really love the classic simplicity of black and white. You can combine them to look completely elegant, or very casual, but it's always a very clean combination that really works.




New from Jane today comes this very pretty Francie - So Innocent blouse. It's just adorable! It has fun puffy sleeves and a little lace detail on the front. It also has 2 different long sculpts that you can wear if you're not tucking it under something. But I simply had to wear it under the Francie Shorts! These are high waisted to give you awesome curves, and you can wear them with or without suspenders. You'll also find other Francie tops and bottoms at Jane today. All of them are just wonderful!

And new from Elikatira today is this really pretty and casual hair called Just. Just is right, because when I saw it, I just had to have it! There is also another new hair out as well, and a new one exclusive to The Dressing Room Blue.

Time to do more shopping!

Photo was taken while I was dancing, so I'm not sure which dance it is for this pose. :)

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...

Today's Gaze - Boom! Summer's Over!

You knew her in high school. She was the one who spent her whole summer hanging out with the guys because she didn't care if she dated them and they liked that, laughing so hard with her girl friends about stupid things that the whole group couldn't breathe, and going to as many parties as she could. Her summer was better than yours and you knew it. But when September rolled around and everyone was back in class, she was the one who still brought a little bit of summer with her.




BOOM just released these super cute [but super low cut!] Surf Polos. I love them, but wow. Talk about showing off the girls! I kept it a little more modest here by not wearing a cleavage enhancer because obviously I'm not wearing a bra with this shirt, and I don't know about you, but my boobs don't just naturally squash together. But if you do wear the cleavage skins, this shirt goes from being just cute to... BA-BAM! I'm wearing it in Doll Pink and there are 23 colors available.

Check the bottom of this post for the rest of the SLurls!

Today's Gaze - I'm an artist too!

Sometimes you have to look towards the bright lights of Hollywood to find your look of the day. In my case, I looked towards the dim lights of Spencer Pratt's brain. In an interview with People magazine, he said, and I can't make this quote up myself, "I'm an artist now. I have an easel and everything."

Jump back! A real easel?!

Hey, guess what? Now I'm an artist too!

[All SLurls will be at the bottom for those who don't feel like reading!]





See? I have an easel and everything! Do you like my pictures?

My top is the divine Sivine Abstract shirt from L`Abel. I get lost in all the gorgeous colors and exceptional prim work! It's simply marvelous! And with a top this great, I really had to go simple with the rest of my look.

I used the Basic Black Capris from SySy's, which came in a group gift with the Yardena tops. I'm not QUITE sure if the capris are available at SySy's still, but you'd be pretty wise to get into her subscriber group, because she sends out some goodies from time to time.

My cute little flats are the Avanti Flats from Celestial Studios. Oh, dear Starley. When ARE you going to start designing for us again?? These flats are basic, adorable, and you really really need to go get them.

This shaggy little haircut came to me yesterday by way of LeLutka. This is one of the new releases, the Olja hair, and I'm wearing it in the "Marilyn" shade. I love that it looks very soft, and kind of messy, too! You know us artists. We can't be bothered to brush our hair while working on our masterpieces!

I'm also wearing the Everyday Eyelash face tattoo for Viewer 2 by Stellar, and my eyes are Sapphire by Beloved Custom Designs. I'm really digging the lash tattoos lately, and who wouldn't love eyes this clear and beautiful, am I right? And while I'm not a HUGE fan of stuff you stick in your mouth, these Paintbrushes and Doodles from Lostwood are so perfect for this look!

Well, time to wrap this up. I have to finish my paintings!

Got my t-shirt and my panties on...

Sometimes on Plurk, someone will ask "What do you wear to bed?" Well, of course there's a lot of naked out there, but me - I've always been more of a t-shirt and panties girl. My friend Rob1977 Moonites, who you may know already from FIR male clothing, recently branched out and made a new line, MNA, just for women! And his new sleeveless tees and matching panties are just too cute! AND they totally fit my need for bedtime!






I think my favorite thing about these outfits, aside from the bright, pretty colors and cutie pie decals, is that the panties have great coverage! You wouldn't call them granny panties, but they're certainly not giving away the whole farm, and I love that!

The Tees & Panties are sold separately and come in 4 girly girl colors. Collect them all, because you need them!

I'll have more from MNA coming up in future posts, but don't wait for me - go shop!

Hoppin' for Hopscotch!

Now that we're fully into the spring season, I'm always hunting out spring/summer pieces that are both cute and casual. My friend Chandni Khondji of Hopscotch made me totally jump for joy with her new Rosalie tops. Light, springy, and casual - totally me.






The Rosalie tops are just adorable. They come with 2 different bottoms - a babydoll top and a skirt top. I guess you could wear the skirt part as just a dress, but there are no glitch pants, since this is a shirt, so don't forget panties. [Or do, and put a show, I guess.] I really like these shirts!

Rosalie comes in 4 colors and are $100L each, or you can get the fatpack for $350L. I'm also using poses by Hopscotch, too! There's lots to see at the store, so hop on over and check it out!

I'm a delicate flower

Oh, did I just do a post wearing Ingenue? Yes. Am I going to do another? You bet!

The latest to come from the pretty pretty mind of Betty Doyle are the wonderful Tulipe tops, Pivoine skirts, and Liasis heels. Let's take a look!








I just go mad for fun, girly girl clothing and oh, what is more girly girl than these flirty Pivoine skirts? The texturing on the Tulipe tops is just fantastic. The tops are very short [the skirts have a high waist] but I can easily see people wearing these under other shirts or jackets, or even in the summer to show off more skin. And the Liasis shoes? Perfect! Simple and elegant, you will be able to wear these with so so many of your outfits.

The Tulipe tops come in 10 colors and are $85L each or $500L for a fatpack. The Pivoine skirts also come in 10 colors for $175L each or $1200L for the fatpack. And the Liasis shoes come in 15 colors for $275L each or $2775L for a fatpack.

Why are you still here? Get your pretty tushes to Ingenue!

InfiniTie for women!!

I admit it. When Shiryu Musashi of Musashi-Do came out with with the InfiniTie shirts for men with his suits a few months ago, I was jealous. I wanted shirts like that for me, too! But girly and cute, of course.

So when he mentioned he was making some for women...well, believe me, I was so so excited!! Who wouldn't want a well made shirt and the option to use the InfiniTie system? It's a no brainer to me. Check it out!






I'm not showing you ALL the colors, because I think you should go to the store and check out the rest! In the first photo, I'm showing colors from the "Classic" set, and in the second, the colors are from the "Trendy." There are 3 lengths per color, long and untucked, shorter and tucked, and short for showing the mid-riff. Each one is unbuttoned just a little to give a hint of cleavage and the cuffs are rolled up a little bit, too. Each shirt comes with a black tie, but you can use the InfiniTie system, and purchase different colored ties. [You can go to this YouTube page to see all about the InfiniTie system.] One thing I love about these shirts, and the ones for men as well, is that the tie is not just "clip-on" style. These go all the way around the neck. I had noticed this on the male shirts some time ago and just thought that was a little extra special detail. Oh, and if you don't want to wear the tie at all? Just click the collar, and it disappears. Click it again to bring it back! I have also been told that if you want a buttoned up version, the shirts for men also look wonderful on women.

The InfiniTie shirts for women are priced at $129L per color, or $499L for either the pack of the Classic or Trendy colors. The separate InfiniTies are as little as $29L per tie. As always, these are completely hand-painted, nothing is photosourced, and I think that is fabulous. And they are transferable, as most of the items at Musashi-Do are, making these perfect for gifting!

If you're looking for something for Christmas, as well, check out the pack of Christmas InfiniTie shirts for women!




Since these are transferable, I passed one over to my adorable Piper and forced her to pose with me. There are 2 InfiniTies included in this pack with a striped tie and a floral tie. The Christmas pack is just $259L, and there is also a set for men as well, if you like to match your guy.

While you're at Musashi-Do buying shirts, don't forget to wander outside and go check out the World Holidays 2009 photo exhibit! You just might see my pics out there!

T Junction!

So my adorable shopaholic friend Wilma told me yesterday that I needed to go to T Junction because they had cute shirts and panties. I love a good shirt [and good panties!] so I made my way over there today.

Big mistake.

Everything was so cute, I went NUTS! I wanted every single shirt they had to offer! I mean, look!!




These are just 3 that I bought. Believe me, my inventory is holding a lot more. And they're pretty inexpensive at just $75L a shirt. There is a discount area where I found $40L shirts, and there are a bunch of freebies at the front when you walk in, along with a gift shirt if you join the subscribe-o-matic. There are shirts for men, too! And the shirts are transferable, so perfect for gifting your friends!

I will mention that if you are one who is against creators who use templates for their work, the shirts at T Junction are not for you. I know these are made using a specific template because I have other t-shirts that are the same, but I love these, so I kinda don't mind today. :)

Today's Gaze - I Don't Like Your Girlfriend!

I was wandering around Crush Row last night [truly one of my favorite shopping areas in SL. It's gorgeous.] and stumbled into Von Ducky. This t-shirt caught my eye and made me laugh, and so... Today's Gaze was born.




Now is this shirt the highest quality? Nah. You can see the hems aren't exactly awesome. But it's so cute, I don't mind.

Underneath I put on a green shrug & gloves that I picked up from Torridwear I don't even know HOW long ago. They've been in my inventory pretty much since I rezzed, I think. Because the shrugs are on the shirt layer, it makes them PERFECT for putting underneath t-shirts for a layered look. I tinted the green darker that it originally is. I wasn't sure if you could still get them, but go backstage at Torrid's store. They're still there, and you get 6 colors for just $20L. It's a hell of a deal.

My Garage jeans from League and my PornStar Hi-Tops from Urban Bomb Unit are staples in my inventory. In fact, if clothing in SL wore out ever, these would be falling apart because I wear them so often. League really is my favorite place for jeans, even if they are a little pricier than most places.

Ryker Beck of Exodi has been teasing us on Plurk [along with bad girl Jori Watler!] with glimpses of her new Sienna skin. Yesterday she generously gave her VIP group a preview of Sienna. Look at my face, it is gorgeous!! The whole skin is marvelous, and this is a first for me because I never have managed to look good in any of the Exodi skins before. It always made me sad to see Sophia in them because she looked soooo good and I never did. But Sienna...wow. I love it! I can't wait for them to be released. The Exodi group is a pay group [$250L], but Ryker spoils us, so it's worth it. I'm wearing her Zbilja Spirit eyes in Crystal Blue, which were also a group gift.

And to tie it all up, I'm wearing [still] the gorgeous Green II hair in Beach Blond from Maitreya and the Delicious Lollipop rings & bangles from SyDS, one of my favorite fun ring shops. My poses are from Pffiou! which is currently not open while my favorite French girl takes a bit of an SL break.

Oh, and for some reason, the shirt reminded me of this song, which is now embedded in my head. :-p

Hey, put a shirt on!

Designer Joodle Fadoodle of WigWamBam is one of my favorite hand-drawn clothing artists. Her textures are always cute and charming, and her new line of collared shirts show that style off perfectly!




These shirts are just so adorably funky, and very simple. You could just throw one on with some jeans and sneakers and head off shopping or stick around the house and hang out with friends. Each shirt is $80L, and the Mechanics one [the yellow & black shown] is $1L! Joodle is always so generous with her dollarbies. :)

Head down to WigWamBam for your shirts today!
