When alaMood designer Jori Watler showed me a picture some time ago of a necklace she was making, I squealed in delight because it was just so cute. It was different than any other necklace I had in SL and I loved it at first sight. My love only grew when she did some amazing texture work on it, and then again when she added matching earrings and bangles. [I have a love for bangles that is almost obscene.] I think I've worn some part of the Athshe set for the past few days. It's wonderful!!
How could you not love it? The links of the necklace are not your typical perfect circles or ovals, which I find really refreshing. And that delicate flower etching is TOO cute! The Athshe set comes in Silver, Gold, and Iced. I love the Iced one, it's so perfect for winter.
Each set contains the necklace, earrings, and bangles for both the right and left wrists, and is a steal at just $350L
You'll probably see me in more alaMood jewelry as times goes on, because Jori is awesome and her work totally shows it.
Do you love awesome dresses? Me too! Do you love awesome dresses that are only $1L? Me too!!
The adorable SySy decided to do something fun, and for $5L, you can get yourself a fatpack her new Autumn Roses dresses. But there IS a catch. You have to go to all her stores to get the entire pack! But believe me, it is worth it, because these are CUTE!
Each color comes with the slim skirt and the poofy skirt with roses. I can't tell which is my favorite! Five luscious colors [yes, there is a Red and a Cherry, which look almost the same in the picture but the Cherry is deeper] and they're just cute and sexy and I am in love with these dresses!
Here are the places you need to go to get all the colors.
Remember, each is only $1L, so if there's a color you don't like, you can pick and choose. It's worth it!

Phoenix Rising is one of those stores where I instantly feel more fashionable just by walking into it. With their upcoming release, Motive, I have no reason to change my opinion. I don't usually like to show off outfits that are not available for sale yet, but after receiving a preview copy last night...well, I just can't seem to help myself. It's so awesome!
I found this to be a very "business chic" outfit. You can wear any of the pieces by themselves to mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe, which is something I just adore. And hello, seamed stockings! Tell me, who doesn't find that just completely sexy? Now yes, that IS a system skirt you're looking at. Don't get scared, ladies! Just make yourself a skirt shape! I found I just had to reduce my butt and saddlebags slightly to get the form I wanted. [Oh, if only I could do that in the physical world!] There's a pretty light pink tank that is included with this outfit but is not shown here.
I believe Motive is coming out in the next couple of days, so when it does, I will update this post with the price and how many colors are going to be available. But while you're waiting, why not go to Phoenix Rising now and find some other wonderful creations to dress up in? You know you want to!
On my island, we're all starting to get excited because snow is "predicted" in our weather forecast later this month. To get ready for it, my adorable and super talented friend Aisuru Rieko of Beloved Custom Designs decided to make an Ice Castle for her parcel. And luckily for you guys, she's selling it!
If you head over to her store and click the teleport board to go up to where she has her prefabs rezzed, you can wander around this deliciously icy creation. Although I'll get to see the castle on the island when the snow falls, I had to go check it out now!
These pictures do not - DO NOT - do the castle justice. I strongly urge you guys to go check it out for yourself. If you do any kind of winter landscaping, you owe it to yourself to get this castle!
While you're at BCD, check out all of Aisuru's other creations. She makes all kinds of whimsical landscaping items, as well as some of the most gorgeous eyes in Second Life!
As I said on Monday, designer Bublee Bing loaded me up with goodies last week, so this is part two of the BB goodness.
It's getting closer to winter in my neck of the woods, but it's never quite cold enough to wear thick coats where I am. Luckily in SL, I can wear the lush coats of my dreams without worrying that I'm going to die of heat stroke. These new beauties from Bublee are everything I could possibly want in a winter coat.
Just LOOK at the texturing on these coats! I just want to roll around in them! The Retro Red mini and the Loden Gray midi coats are just full of winter love. Each comes with options for the closed collar and the open collar, and the black tights to wear underneath. I'm sure I'll be wearing these with jeans too!
The mini coat is $420L and the midi is $480L, and there are several colors available.
What are you waiting for? Go grab a coat at Bublee Bing before you get cold!

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
Usually when I receive review copies from a store, I try to put them all in one post. But designer Bublee Bing dropped so many yummy goodies on me, I'm just going to have to break it up. :)
These gorgeous knitted pullovers are JUST my style. In fact, I will be dying to find ones just like this in my physical world! I just had to get these creamy beige ones!
You can choose between the loose neck sweater, or the turtleneck. Each one comes in plain or with the braid down the front. The loose neck comes with two different styles of sleeves as well. I just could NOT be happier with these lovely sweaters and have just been switching between them for the past couple of days. There are several colors to choose from, but not a fatpack that I saw. You can get the single colors of sweaters for $165L for the turtleneck [5 colors available], and $180L for the loose neck [4 colors available]. They are absolutely necessary for everyone's fall and winter wardrobe!
If you're into a more preppy look, then the Pullunder Caro is for you!
A charming little sweater vest, this also comes with the shirt to wear underneath, and you can wear the shirt separately without the vest. The shirt has 3 lengths of sleeves, too, which is pretty cool. I didn't pick one up to show, but there is another version of the vest with the full plaid print on it. You can pick up the vest and shirt for $280L, and there are 5 colors available.
Later this week, I'll show off just the cutest little coats for this winter season from Bublee Bing!
