See you at the District!

What's that noise? Could it be the sound of your $Lindens shaking because they know they'll be leaving you soon when you get over to the new Truth District? Why, I believe it is!




Oh my gosh, you guys. I know, I know. Malls come and go in SL and rarely are they amazing. But this new shopping district is so wonderful! Conceptualized by Truth Hawks and managed by Sophia Harlow, I might be a little biased as I love the two of them to pieces, but I'm being sincerely honest when I say this is a shopper's heaven! Check out the list of resident designers!

Easy Breeze

Are you looking for that perfect tiny beach house for your parcel? Yes? Then look no further than Funky Junk at the Designers Remix!




Breeze is just so sweet and open. It's just great for setting up on your beach, or take it lakeside, or you could even sink it down a bit and put it in a forest setting. It's really versatile! And really, you can do anything inside because it's one big room.






The Breeze is 70 prims [104 with the fireplace and other accessories] and has a 10x15 footprint, so it will fit smaller parcels.

You will be able to find Breeze at the Designers Remix which opens on July 1st. It's going to be awesome, y'all!

Not in my kitchen!

So now that I'm going to be SL married, I figure I better learn to cook for my new hubby. Don't tell him, but I'm not all that great in the kitchen unless I'm baking cookies! Do you think he'll notice dinner is a little...flame broiled tonight? Maybe not when he sees my new pants!




The Secret Store is a store that I really like! The clothing is often quite classy, like these new Flared Pants, which I am wearing in Cream. Oh, I just love a good high waisted pair of pants! I do like low rise, but a nicely cut pair of high waisted pants make you look so shapely and elegant. You really MUST have these for your wardrobe. In fact, you probably need the entire new collection at The Secret Store!

Now um...does anyone have a fire extinguisher and the number to the local pizza place?

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!

Ispachi Audrey Is Coming!

I'm always a little "Eeee!" when someone asks me to blog skins. I LOVE new skins, but I've always been better at blogging shoes than skins. And let's face it, many other bloggers do skin reviews way better than I do. But! I adore being asked, and I adore it more when I actually love the skin as much as I love the new Audrey skin by Ispachi!

The pictures are shot in the CalWL windlight setting only [no shadows] and have not been retouched in Photoshop. How they're shot is exactly how I see them.




This skin is so soft and feminine. The shading is very lovely and natural without the harsh highlights you can find on so many skins. I really kind of wanted to just run my hand over my body because the skin just looks so very baby soft.

There are 12 pretty makeups, too, ranging from soft and light to more of an edgy look.






The brows on the skin are a dark brown, but there is a tattoo layer to make them lighter, which I am wearing in my pictures. The skins come with regular and cleavage versions, plus bald and with hair. I'm wearing the Milk tone, which is the palest.

The Audrey skin comes out at Ispachi this Saturday, and I hope you love it as much as I do!

Part Of Your World

Most of my friends know that I'm totally and completely in love with shopping for home furniture and decor. Seriously. I love it more than shopping for shoes, and you guys know how I love shoes! Luckily, my wifey humors me and when I yell "I NEED A NEW HOUSE!" she obliges and builds something perfect for all my furniture. The newest house from Funky Junk, Ariel, is utterly perfect for the summer!




An awesome beach house up on stilts, the Ariel home is open and inviting, with two large rooms, a great loft, and a charming sunroom. Trust me, I have spent many evenings in the sunroom watching the sunset! I do, of course, have a million pics for you all. Remember, these are just "serving suggestions" as to what you can do with the rooms. I always urge you to put your own style in your living space!












The Ariel home comes in at 145 prims, or 161 with the added decor of a lifesaver ring, boat oars, rusted nautical star, and a lantern full of pretty shells. My house is in the Mist color, and it also comes in Kelp, a soft green.

You need it, you want it, you love it. Go to Funky Junk and buy it!

Mudhoney

Hit The Resort

My friend Rylan has been vacationing at a resort this past week [so jealous!] and when I tried on this new dress by Acid & Mala, I could just see myself on a lovely tropical resort in it!




The Wild & Chic dress is pretty awesome, especially if you enjoy animal print. I just love the ruffled collar and the gold belt! Plus it made me feel totally tall and lean. I know, that's easy to fix in SL by changing your shape, but go with me here. :-p This dress is just $75L this weekend for the Taste Of SL, so you will want to hurry on over and grab it quick!

I'm going on the hunt for a cabana boy and a drink with an umbrella in it!
