Do I Dare? Absolutely!

When Gospel Voom first made the very awesome Dare booties in black, I did like them, but I didn't think that they were QUITE me. However, when he mentioned on Plurk that he just released them in BROWN...well, I hopped right over to Gos buy a pair!






I just love them! And the toes...just adorable! Plus they were very easy to tint with the helpful HUD and the list of corresponding presets for several of the more popular skins in SL. The shoes themselves are also very customizable, with menu options to change the color of the shoes to three different shades of brown, detailed or smooth leather, the color of the zips, studs, arches, and heels. And of course you can wear them with the toes peeking out or with a closed toe. So wonderful!

You can pick up your Dare booties for $975L, and remember, they come in black and red, as well! Get over to Gos!

Here fishie, fishie, fishie...

I love the Pocket Gardens by Stormy Aluveaux and Carter Denja. Anytime I need an instant garden [because I'm horrible at landscaping!], I pull mine out and boom! Insta-pretty! I was super happy to see the new Castalia Basin with Koi, because who doesn't need some cute fish in their life??








The basins go really well with the Castalia prefab gardens. Both basins come with color change scripts for the basin itself, and for the roses attached. The fish are so cute and swim in circles. There are even sits on each basin [as shown in the top picture] and one of the best parts? Low prim! The small basin is 7 prims and the large is 10 prims. These are GREAT if you're in one of the new Linden homes!

These are very affordable, too! The small basin is $125L and the large is $175L. Or get a little discount and get both for $250L! They are copyable, so you can put fish out everywhere!

Go pick up your new koi at Pocket Gardens today!

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!

I could be your Ingenue

Like a lot of bloggers, sometimes I stumble onto review packs in my inventory that I never had the chance to open for one reason or another. [Um, the main reason being that my inventory is a huge mess.] I was digging around for something and ran into a pack of the Japonica dresses from Ingenue. Oh, am I ever glad I did!!




This dress is just so classy and ladylike! I am a fan of well done system skirts and this one certainly fits the bill. What's a little shape modding between friends, right? And I made friends with this dress quickly! My favorite part, of course, is the awesome oversized flower on the belt. Love love love.

The Japonica dresses are a very affordable $250L each, and come in 4 colors. I didn't see a fatpack option, but I may have missed it. Ingenue wasn't a store I was very familiar with in the past, but believe me, I will definitely be heading back!

I love my Innocence

Everyone knows what an incredible fan of Phoenix Rising I am. Anytime I want to instantly feel fashionable, I know I can throw on one of my PR outfits and go. Ashoka Eales's newest release, Innocence, is so pretty, I just don't want to take it off!




The bodice is low, making this dress not quite so innocent! But the long flowing skirt and the soft floral print at the bottom just makes you feel like an angel. I'm wearing it in gold, but there are 5 other colors available as well. I love all of them!

Innocence will be available tomorrow [Wednesday, March 3rd] at Phoenix Rising, and trust me, ladies - you WANT this dress. I'll have the price information later, and I'll update this post. Oh, and be sure you take a look at the vendor...you just might recognize the model! ;)

Today's Gaze - A spring in my step

I am totally a warm weather girl. All this snow and cold dreary days doesn't make for me feeling much like blogging, I'll tell ya that much! But when I saw these adorable new Spring.Bloom dresses from fri.day, well...I immediately felt much more springy and happy!






The dresses are super cute, and make your legs look 10 miles long, which of course I totally love. I'm wearing this one in Teacup, but there are 6 colors available, with cute little names like Bouquet and Bonnet. The skirt IS sculpted [I know some of you just hated sculpted skirts!], but it made allowances for even my most fidgety AO, and of course there is a demo available, so you can try it before you buy it. I wish more stores would do that!!

Each Spring.Bloom dress is $200L, or the 24.7 pack for $840L.

I paired the dress up with my favorite Wedge Tong sandals in Poppy from G Field and some gold bracelets from the Mora set by alaMood. I was never a big gold wearer before SL, but it's starting to grow on me!

I hope you find the outfit that puts a Spring in your step, too!

J'aime le papillon!

Anyone who knows me knows I have a tremendous love for butterflies. I can't explain it, I just do! So these new Papillon dresses from SySy's are right up my alley!






Isn't this dress just so so sweet? And with the small butterflies on the skirt, it is something that will pop out of my inventory time and time again. I also just adore the sleeves! I am a sucker for sweet, ladylike dresses and this definitely fits the bill.

Papillon comes in 5 colors [brownie, emerald, lavender, orange, and fuschia, which I am wearing] and is available for $250L for a single color, or $950L for the fatpack, which comes with a red version as well. Also right now if you're in the SySy's SoM, you can get the free Valentine's edition of this dress.

Head over the mainstore to pick up this dress, and be sure to check out the new satellite location at the brand new and super awesome Second Style sim!
