Ooh, I'm DAZZLED!

There's only one guy in SL who could possibly make me do this. The awesome Matthew Anthony has climbed aboard the...decorating train, and has opened a new store - JazzleWorks!

What's getting dazzled? Why...my Vajazzle, of course!!

Starting with three fabulous designs, now you too can have "Bling For Your Thing!" And yes, there are blinging options available. They are all prim, and copy/modify. I love it being all prim!

$100L each, and yes, my male friends, you will have your own bling soon!

Get down to JazzleWorks and be dazzled!

Get me to the chapel on time!

I just adore weddings. Around 7 or 8 years ago, I was a bridesmaid 3 times in just slightly over a year in my physical world, and I never never got tired of discussing weddings! Which, you know, is probably a good thing since I was in so many! I've never had the opportunity to be a bride in either life, but with this new gorgeous wedding dress from Nymphetamine, I can at least pretend!

The Vivy wedding gown is just elegant and stunning. It's also not very frilly, which I know so many brides appreciate.

The gown is strapless, with a simple chest ruffle. There is a plain sash and then the lovely ballgown style skirt. The gown also comes with the option of wearing the veil or just flowers in your hair. I modded this veil easily to go with my hairstyle. Also, Paeoti told me this, but she uses the Emerald viewer with the extra attachment points for these items. So if you do not, you will need to manually attach the veil or flowers to an open spot on your head.

There is something that's just a little better than the wedding - The honeymoon! And won't your partner just LOVE seeing you out of your beautiful gown and into this oh-so-pretty babydoll lingerie?

You can also take off the babydoll part and just wear the teddy underneath. You guys know I do so love options!

The Vivy wedding gown is $1000L for the set of the gown & the lingerie, including the veil and hair flower. You can also purchase the gown, veil & flower for $850L, or the lingerie, veil & flower for $350L. The dress and lingerie also comes in 9 other colors, minus the veil & flower, for $750L each. They are available now at the Nymphetamine mainstore, so get out there and shop!

I feel like a movie star!

Quick! Name three of my favorite things! Who said lingerie, jewelry, and old black & white movies? You win!

When Kieran Debevec of Phoenix Rising dropped this utterly amazing jewelry on me and Betty Doyle of Ingenue quickly followed with the most lovely corset sets, I knew immediately that they had to be shown together. There was just no other way!

First, let's look at the oh-so-pretty Angelique corset.

Review - Phoenix Rising, Ingenue - Angelique corset, back


As much as I love lingerie, I love lingerie that doesn't give the whole farm away immediately even more, and honey, this is wonderful! The very well textured corset just hugs you in all the right places and I love the lacing in the back. Plus I just adore that the included panties are not thongs! Hey, people like opening gift wrapped presents for a reason, right? ;)

Now, let's take a look at the precious Spring Blossom jewelry!

Review - Phoenix Rising, Ingenue - Spring Blossom jewelry


How can you look at it and not want it? I know I surely can't! Every prim is placed JUST right, and there is the slightest glow on the diamonds to give it a gorgeous effect. I'm so enchanted with the necklace! And of course you have the beautiful flowers for your ears, too! Honestly? With this jewelry, you barely need clothes! I haven't been this excited about jewelry in a long long time!

The Angelique corsets come in 10 lovely colors for $165L each, or fatpack these beauties for $1295L. They are available now at Ingenue!

The Spring Blossom jewelry comes in 5 beautiful colors [my favorite is the Rain color!] for $400L each, or fatpack for $1800L. They are available now at Phoenix Rising!

Happy Friday and Happy Shopping!

I'm way too comfortable in this chair!

You may know the store Baustein by Mainit Hellman for its wonderful prefabs. But did you also know that Mainit makes furniture? Really awesome furniture that you just wish you could yank out of SL and drag into your own living room!

The latest set, the De'Loire, is just fantastic!

Review - Baustein - De'Loire set

Review - Baustein - De'Loire chair


This set is just delish. It comes with the fireplace, painting, table, ottoman with texture change blanket, and 2 chairs, one with the filigree detailing and one without. The chairs and ottoman are also color change! [Monopoly board & chips plate are not included, just used for this shot.] Look at the chairs! If I had these chairs in my physical world, I don't think I'd ever get up. They look so so comfortable! And of course, the baked textures are just yummy.

The De'Loire set is prim budget friendly at just 67 prims for the entire set. It is also copy/modify, which is awesome. The set is $1200L, but you can buy the pieces separately, although of course you get a bit of a discount with buying the entire set.

Oh, and you can pick up the skybox that I took these photos in at Baustein as well. It's called Chill and I adore it!

Lots of stuff to see at Baustein, and there's a big grand sim opening party on Sunday at 12pm SLT at the Rigby sim for Baustein, SySy's, Staged, and Perse, so you have no excuses not to go check it out!

Ms. Green Jeans

St. Patrick's Day is coming up this week, and so I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot of green going on! [Which I'm sure makes one Queen of Green I know very happy!]

Designer Dick Wiesel of WoE put out a special set just for us ladies for this week - A green version of his Graecyn jeans and new Striped sweaters!

Review - WoE - St. Patrick's Special

Review - WoE - St. Patrick's Special, back


There are actually two sweaters in the box, the shorter sleeved one that I'm wearing, and a long sleeved version. I think the set is adorable, and I just love the nice shamrock on the back of the sweater!

The best part? The set is only $20L. Yay!

While you're at WoE picking this up, be sure to look around because I just know you'll find more that you like!

I have this Intuition...

...but I think these glasses are going to be the new favorite in many peoples' inventory!

New at the Accessories Fair, Gospel Voom of Gos released the new glasses, Intuition and Sentinel. So so cute! I ran right out and bought the Intuition, as they were a touch more "feminine" on my face. Check them out!






The glasses have loads of options, such as frame texture, lens texture, opacity, and my favorite - the monogram on the sides!! When you choose to set the monogram, it immediately picks up your initials, but you can set them to another. I love it! And you can choose from several different fonts and colors, too.

The glasses come with the textures white, black, and chrome for the frames, and clear, shaded, and "incognito" [very dark], for the lenses. In my package, there was a spray can to hold to "spray" my glasses into tortoiseshell with an amber shade. It's all just very cool!

The Intuition glasses are a very affordable $295L and currently you can find them at the Accessories Fair, but I'm sure they'll be at the mainstore quite soon!

Today's Gaze - Spring Fling

I'll be the first to admit, I have a hard time mixing and matching pieces in my inventory to create something great. But once in a while, I'll play around and come up with something that, while pretty simple, makes me happy. Today's outfit makes me think of springtime, and as everyone knows, I'm a total springtime sunshine girl!

Review - Today's Gaze - Spring Fling


Yesterday I went to riotvend at Sn@tch and I didn't even SEE what I was getting when I bought it [I was having rezzing issues!], I just took the word of a friend that it was cute. And right she was, because I ended up with this CUTE skirt! The Knick Knack set has 6 colors of these just adorable skirts, plus a really cute white top, which I am not wearing here. These skirts make me so so happy! I know people usually think of Sn@tch for just more dark, punk/goth/urban type clothing, but when Ivey does cute, she does it very well!

The rest of the outfit just fell into place after putting on the very pretty skirt. My top comes from the Reale Bolero set. I always knew I'd find a place for this tank, and I do so love a great, plain white tank or shirt. My shoes are probably my favorite wedge sandals in SL, the Sunny sandals from G Field. I love bangles, so these Terra Verde bangles [and necklace, which you can't see that well in the picture] from Cad & Tart just yelled "Put me on!" at me. And I just love love the new Sydney hair from Truth, with the color changing headband. The whole look was just very fresh to me, so I put on the Alyson skin in makeup #2 by Belleza. I'm really more of a Belle girl, as proven by how often I just don't change skins, but Alyson's sweet face was necessary! And my pose is from Glitterati, which is probably in my top 3 of favorite pose stores.

I hope Sophia doesn't mind I terraformed her backyard a bit for this photo. Shh...we won't tell her. ♥
