Midnight Madness

2011-07-10T17:48:00.000-07:00

Ready to have some fun? First stop - Chop Zuey for some Midnight Mocha. If it sounds like a deliciously sinful coffee concoction, you are not far off. It is delicious and sinfully sweet to wear. It is a new creation from Belle Roussel at Chop Zuey!

I decided it was time to step out and show off the chunky moonstones beads of the Midnight Mocha necklace and dangling delight of the matching earrings and triple-wrapped bracelet, accented with the addition of bright ruby cabochons. And let's not forget to add the sparkling moonstone and cabochon floral ring. A girl cannot fling without her bling.

Unable to decide whether to go casual or chic with my newest baubles, I split the difference and went a little cheeky with Mimikri's Lolita dress in zebra. Fun and flirty, Lolita really shows off the versatility of the Midnight Mocha design.

Finishing off with the look with the flower pumps from G Field and a whimsical updo from Truth, this lady is ready to dance until midnight and beyond.Whether you want funky or fanciful, casual or chic, do not walk but run over to Chop Zuey for your own set of Midnight Mocha. Also available with Lemon Yellow Quartz and Aqua Verdite. Why settle for one color when all three are better!

U&R Dogs at Culture Shock

2011-05-01T17:28:00.000-07:00

U&R Dogs is without a doubt one of my most favourite jewellery stores in Second Life. I love the delicate detailing that goes into each piece and the many options you can get with them.

The Polonaise Pierced Earrings have an open design decorated with gems down each strip which can be changed to any of 81 colours on the menu.

They look fabulous with a formal gown or a casual jeans and tee outfit. These are earrings you will love to wear.

The new Clair de Lune Bracelets are another stunning addition to your collection. Comprising of 5 bangles (all seperately adjustable/resizeable/removeable) and a colour changing charm, you will love this.

The chunky size and open checkboard design makes these bracelets something that will add so much to your outfits and are real statement pieces.

U&R Dogs are participating in Cultural Shock, a major event helping to raise money for Doctors Without Borders. It's well worth checking the event out and supporting this cause - and adding to your jewellery collection while doing so!

New Fav Jeans!!!!

2011-04-17T18:46:00.000-07:00

Jeans are one of my must-haves in Second Life, as I most often can be found living in them. WoE is in my Top 5 Fav Jean Stores and should be in yours too, if it's not already.

The new Guage G2 Girl Jeans are just fabulous! They have the stunning texture you have come to expect from WoE and come in some amazing colours too.

They have a touch of fraying on the front of the thighs and the W on your butt pockets so everyone will know where your new fab jeans are from. I even love the sculpty bottoms, and I am not always a fan of those!

Look for them in store, and find your new favourite Second Life jeans!

Gimme Gizza!

2011-03-19T15:04:00.000-07:00

I dunno about you, but I am am having such a love affair with GizzA lately. The designs and textures are so amazing and can be dressed up or down, making them incredibly versatile and a fabulous addition to your wardrobe.

I ran to the store to grab the new Chiffon Shirts. They look so great with the Flax Pants too.

I love the sheer fabric of the shirts and the stunning fabrics used. They have a floral/leaf motif perfect for the coming season and a bra layer for a wee bit of modesty.

The pants are gorgeous too. They will certainly add a classy touch to your wardrobe. The colours and cut are amazing.

The Puffy Shirts are lovely too. They have a built in resizer, which really helps people like me who still cannot edit clothing properly without one! They also come in a range of stunning colours, plain and with a line pattern.

To complete the outfit, Indyra Originals also offers wedge sandals and handbags, three coordinating colors for each CREE outfit. Mix and match the colors for an individual look!

MARQUISE II is a chic and stylish pant outfit available in 8 stunning colors. Black pants, corset and gloves are accented with bold colored waist and shoulder ruffs.

NOUIVEAU RICHE is an elegant and sensual form fitting gown with with a beautiful texture wrapped around the back of the halter bodice and down the sides of the floor length skirt. A high collar with a matching offset rose give this design and soft and feminine appeal. Diamond earrings and a gold snakeskin clutch from Indyra's accessory line, Indy & Co., complete
the look.

This sweet little dress comes in an assortment of colors, with matching over the knee socks, giving a youthful and fashionable look.

Haute couture move over. Here comes NIKKA. This strapless dress comes in multiple colors and a belted puffed skirt that is perfect for showing off long, sexy legs. The cropped leather jacket has a military feel with gold studs along the collar wrists. Driving gloves helps give NIKKA that ready-for-the-runway look.

Prefer an edgy look? WICKED JANUARY will give you all that and more. A sheer top barely conceals the bikini top. A single shoulder cap accents the high collar and rose neck piece. Low riding pants have an open crossed lacing from waist to ankle. As an added quirt, partial gloves are included, covering only the fingers and half the palm. Every eye will be on you every month of the year wearing WICKED JANUARY.

Whoever said casual can't be sexy never saw J'AIME. Get ready for a day of fun in this cropped tank top with its prim fold. We all long for those comfy holier-than-all jeans with a waistband reminisant of the 60's flower power. Add the MARINA belt and MUVELLA hopps from from the Indy & Co. collection.

For the second time in six months, an earthquake has hit Christchurch, NZ. The devastation is heartbreaking, as is the loss of life. I live up the other end of the country, but have friends and loved ones who have been affected, as do many in Second Life.

A fundraiser is being organised by some residents of SL to help raise money for relief.

If you are a content creator and would like to donate an item to be sold with all proceeds going to the fund, contact Shelly Toonie.

Or if you would like to make a linden donation straight to the cause, GardenCityRelief Resident is an avi made especially to collect these. Every little helps - as do your words of support and prayers.

BOOOOOTS!

2011-02-14T19:29:00.000-08:00

One store I fell in love with over Xmas was Addictia. So many of my friends received gifts from there for Xmas last year, cos they were just fabulous and I wanted to share the fabbo-ness with the people I love.

If you love their Adnata Boots, then you are going to love love love the new coloured versions.

These boots are stunning in design, detail and the colours are just gorgeous! Above is the boots in Latte.

Just look at the richness of the colour in the Caramel boots. The embossed leather around the outside buckle is just amazing!

The embossing on the inside of the boots is just as amazing, and you can just see the metal buckle that runs underneath the boot by the heel which has Addictia engraved on it, so you know you are getting the real deal! I am so in love with this colour - Azuline.

Who doesn't like a bit of Candy? Look at this pretty pink and the patterned insert which runs around the back of all the boots.

With the boots come cuffs for both wrists and they are just as impeccibly made with the buckle and embossing to match the boots. Above is the boots in Cocoa.

If they are not already out in store, they won't be too far away and will soon be your favourite boots!

The chair is the just released Modelling Chair V2011 from Diesel Works. Some of the pictures were flipped around, but all are in the chair along with 18 more fabulous poses!

Iconically Sexy Shopping District, home of TOO SEXY Magazine is having a hunt to celebrate TOO SEXY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY....and you get all the presents!

We have two sims of some of the best and brightest stores, and the ones listed below have set out a birthday gift. With nod to 2011, some are 20L and some are 11L and a lot are 0L!

Be sure and check back to see if any new stores have joined in the celebration. Any questions or problems, contact Sienna Bellios.

Just remember that time zones and real life means not everyone can be on time getting things out, so a few stores might not have their hunt items out yet. Be patient and check back!

And remember little things like respect and curtesy. Lag will be an issue, so please de-prim as much as you can, don't shout out locations - some people actually like to hunt, and have fun!

Living Outside the Box: Be Ecclectic.

2011-01-29T14:35:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you but I love my Grandmother's house. I grew up looking at the same pictures on the wall, the same couch, the same rug. You could just feel her pride in her treasures, she had a story about how she found each and every knick knack, how that sofa she has had since 19something... it was just, well it was comforting. I know still to this day when I walk into her home where everything is, I know which spot on the couch is extra comfy cause Grandpa broke it in all those years he sat there. It is really something I hope I can emulate in my real life someday. It is something I have brought out of my real life to my second life, in my own home.

For those of you who haven't participated there is a monthly dealie called "Spruce Up Your Space". A handful of stores get together and create in my opinion, unique and really adorable items for your home. It is special because only a handful of stores participate and since it is a monthly thing they have the opportunity to really put a lot of time and love into their creations. That is where I found this cute set from La'Licious, perfect for my Nanaesque home (As my granddaughter calls it). Amaliscious Destiny really hit the mark with this one. The settee really has the air of being an antique with the rich colors that are subtly faded I really fell in love. My grandma has a collage of pictures quite similar to the one she created as well as the rug. It really fits with my home but it is really good for anyone who likes eclectic items for their home, or antique looking items. I really urge you all to take a peek and think outside the box for a bit.

Sn@tch Day Tomorrow!

2011-01-28T00:06:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is my favourite day of the week - Sn@tch Day!!!! Yup its Friday, which is new release day at my favourite store. I honestly do not know how week after week Ivey cranks out the fabulousness, but I am glad she does! Here's some recent new releases from the past few weeks.

Hellbilly Highway teams up my latest go-to jeans with an uber sexy backless halter scarf top. There are two jeans versions and 7 tops in the pack.

Here I've slipped into the colourful Maya PVC Leggings and topped them off with the Ozzy Thermal Tanks and Substitute Sweater Shrugs. All sold in seperate packs.

Angel of Attack is a lovely suede dress with colourful underlayer. There are 7 gorgeous colours in the pack.

The Street Cords are another pair of great "go-to" pants that you can dress or down. The colours are fabulous and will compliment any top you wear with them. Here I have chosen the gorgeous Jori Cashmere Sweater, which comes with colour change scarf.

Another cozy addition to your winter looks are the Hug the Puffy Jackets. These lovely cropped puff jackets have a fur trimmed hood and are simply stunning worn over a sweater or on their own.

One of my favourite tops is the Pleasure Wrapped Top. I love the colours, the textures and how flattering they are. You will love them too!

Join me tomorrow in celebrating Sn@tch Day and check out the new releases that will definately blow you away!

Signs of Spring

2011-01-21T18:12:00.000-08:00

Some look for that first sprig of green peeking through the snow. Others predict six more weeks of winter if a pampered groundhog wakes and sees his shadow. Me, the first sign of spring comes from Second Life fashion.

Now, thanks to AvaGardner and Barbra Kungler, Spring is in sight. And all I can say is Ohh La La!

Today Kunglers released Donatella, a classic cut sleeveless dress that hugs the body in all the right places and ends with a playful ruffled hem.

When I first saw this dress I was reminded of Audrey Hepburn. This dress has simple yet flattering lines that can transform it from chic to casual. Shown here in lemon, Donatella is available in 5 colors.

Don't wait for the snow to melt away before you visit Kunglers!

2011-01-20T15:36:00.000-08:00

Seldom Blue has been a fixture in the lingerie and wedding gown scene for some time now, and we are delighted that they have moved their mainstore to the ISSD. To celebrate this, there is a huge sale in store now!

They have also put the adorable Isabella Gown in three colours out on the sale table too - and they are free. Its one of the early Seldom Blue gowns so snap it up before its gone forever. It also comes with lingerie layers.

Be sure to look around the fabulous new store. Hunt out the lucky chairs and grab the special free items, like the Sky Gown in pink. Another awesome bonus - all prices have been restructured as well with the biggie being the wedding dresses which are now priced at $700.

Be sure to check out the new store now and snap up all the bargains before they are gone!

Poses to Show Off Your Handbags by Gesticulate

2011-01-20T06:14:00.000-08:00

Say you want to show off the perfect handbag... you just can not find the right pose. Gesticulate has released a set of 5 super cute poses made just to show off your favorite purse. I love how they have the air of motion to them and each one is carefully created so that you can wear a smallish clutch or a larger tote but it will not go into your body. They also are really wonderful poses for not only pictures, but the smooth enter and exit of the pose itself means you can use these for runway poses as well.

From now through Sunday, Gidge has marked these poses at 75L for the pack, so I suggest you run... not walk.... down there and pick these up. I do not see a lot of stores carry handbag poses and these certainly are the nicest ones Ive seen. And while you are there, look around for the Pro Poser hand for their hunt, their hunt gift is really nice as well. You will probably find yourself wandering around there and picking up more stuff as well, the makers really are talented and do a great job!

Poses from Gesticulate

Valentine's Bears by Boo

2011-01-16T15:36:00.000-08:00

Its never too early to start planning for the next big holiday - and yes I am talking about Valentine's Day! Its only a month away!

Bears By Boo have some uber-gorgeous little bears that will melt anyone's heart.

This is just so perfect! Not only is this little bear giving you his heart and a rose, but he is Rick-Rolling you too! That is still one of my most favourite songs ever! I might have to get this little fellow for myself!

Eep someone has been into the Vday choccies!

Another one of my fav songs. Eep I'll get a reputation as a soppy romantic if I keep this up.

If you are stuck trying to find your loved one the perfect little gift this Vday, check out Bears by Boo. There is still heaps of time to get a custom one made (IM Boo Firecaster and have a chat)
so there is no excuse for Vday FAILS this year!

Pro Poser Hunt - It's All About The Props!

2011-01-15T09:35:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone is having a fabulous time on the Pro Poser hunt. I have had an amazing time sharing some of the really wonderful hunt gifts that have been created as a reward for your participating. My final blog about this hunt is featuring 2 stores that have offered up props to compliment their poses. Our beloved Adorkable Peapod of Adorkable Poses has brought a bit of whimsy to her Phoney Pony pose set. Complete with an adorable textured Stick Pony. It is equally adorable for children as adults so you really can get a lot of use from this pose set

Spishak Sorbet of PNP Props and Poses has 3 (yes 3) gifts for you. This Lamp and 2 wicker style chairs come in a variety of colors so you can use it over and over. I love the single seat wicker chair, or "brat" chair as Spishak calls it. It is something I plan on using in my studio for portraits as well as the seat I use when I myself am photographing. I prefer it as it is a stable base to camera pan around and get just the right angle.

I really hope you enjoy this hunt and discovering all the smaller stores on the grid you may not have even known existed

2011-01-14T21:25:00.000-08:00

The Pro Poser hunt starts at midnight, I am excited and hope that you are ready to get on the hunt and get your hands on some of these amazing finds. This super cute one is by Blur Mannequin of Beemann called "Experimentalist". I will admit when I first sat on this pose I thought I had to turn it around or something, till my counterpart here jumped on his pose and then this came into view, it is quirky and really great for couples or friends, I really loved it.

I wanted to write personally about each and every one of these pose makers and their amazing talents. All of these poses are modify so you can adjust the positioning to fit your individual body types so the pose will fit you perfectly. With Valentines Day around the corner these poses will be sure to create intimate photographs that will be sure to capture your deep love.

Pro Poser Hunt - 4 More Awesome Talents!

2011-01-13T14:46:00.000-08:00

Gesticulate is the pose store with a unique name and some adorable poses. This pack has 6 poses good for the fashionista in your life. They work really well in conjunction with props and on-location shoots. I think they give the good illusion of movement to a picture when it is needed most.
Visit them here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Quiricosta/22/144/433

Hate Me and Eat Me is another great pose store, they have 2 really great sets for this hunt out one is more of a starlet innocence kind of look and the other would go really well with Haute Couture or Avant Garde clothing. They are really simple but the small details, like a turned-in foot or the head turned ever so slightly really helps capture a moment.
Visit them here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tender%20Love/32/96/2

Hopskotch wanted to make sure you were keeping time for your workouts with these poses. Featuring warm-up stretches this set is really different and would work well for pictures of yoga outfits or other excersise wear. Also could be used in advertisements for spas or other gym-like places.
Visit them here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cape%20Victoria/51/92/501

And last but not least, /Me Poses has created a proposer pack, one for the guys and as seen here one for the girls They work well together and you could even use these in pairs and groups for more options on your pictures.
Visit them here:http://slurl.com/secondlife/Chowla/135/207/82

Dont forget the hunt starts the 15th so get your tennies on and your bag ready cause you are going to Love the range of poses available to you on this round of the Pro Poser hunt.

Thursday Awesomeness!

2011-01-13T12:08:00.000-08:00

It's another day full of awesomeness at ISSD. We have some special events coming up to celebrate the anniversaries of ICON and Too Sexy, so keep your eyes open for those!

We have something new for the guys! Alphamale is without a doubt one of the top menswear stores on the grid, and the new Smart Shirts come in 24 colours and are just so stunning. You can almost feel the softness of the fabric. These come on all layers and will look great under a jacket or worn on their own with dress pants or jeans.

I have loved Zaara for the longest time and thought I would share some of the oldies but goodies from my inventory that you can also find in their store on the ISSD. Nilaya is a lovely wrapped top with puffed sleeves and ruffles around the front. Maitri is a sexy vest type top with front ruffles that looks great worn as is or over another top. The Ishaya Velour Slacks are stunning worn with these tops, or mixed and matched into your wardrobe.

Poses used are from Di's Opera. Check out this store if you love couture, avant garde and amazing poses. Its fast become my fav pose store for single poses.

DK Designs has yet another Fifty5 Thursday deal for you instore. You will find the sexy Mary Jo shirt for only $55. It comes with prim cuffs and collar and looks great with the Ann Marie shorts which for today only are marked down to $35. The pack includes ripped and plain versions.

Poses used are from Adorkable. I love the fun and sexy poses you will find here.

Pro Poser Hunt- Di's Opera and P.S. Poseworks

2011-01-10T10:18:00.000-08:00

Saturday is the start of the 3rd round of the ProPosers Hunt on the grid and I am giving you a peek at some of the fabulous poses that are being offered up in this hunt. I am really excited at the quality of the props and poses being offered in this hunt and I hope this gets you raring to go and find these great items!

Di's opera has their "exposed" set which are great poses for fashion photography as well as use in runway modeling. They would also double really well for headshots as they are nice and static so no wobbly bobble head action in these. Di has included 2 male and 2 female in this hunt pack and it is good gauge of her talents as a posemaker.

Shea Vita of P.S. Poseworks is officially now one of my favorite posemakers. This pose, entitled "Drawn to You" is such a graceful, romantic pose. Simplistic in its idea but conveys the emotion of two people in love. This pose would work wonderfully as a sexy style picture or I may even try it as a nude.... the options are really limitless. The pose is also modify so you can essentially break or unlink the poseballs and move them to fit your particular shapes, which is a good feature for poseballs.

ProPoser Hunt 2011 Coming Soon!

2011-01-09T15:43:00.000-08:00

I frankly am excited to inform you of this hunt. I am not a big "hunter" but I do love this one. As a photographer it is always exciting to see new pose makers on the grid and see the advancements that have been made that help me with my job of taking pictures. Unlike the real world where you can direct your subject in a particular pose or position you must rely on the talents of pose makers to create the ideas you have in your head.

AyYaiYai and Stance are just 2 of the talented pose makers who have joined with this great hunt. I love that I had never heard of AyYaiYai before this but enjoyed using this pose. It kinda reminds me of an uncomfortable first meeting between people. This would look funny as a bus stop picture maybe or like a blind date introduction.

I love this pose from stance, it is very romantic in its simplicity. This too is a multi-functional pose you can use it for romantic couples pictures and also wedding themed pictures. With poses the options are truly endless but it makes it so much fun to find great makers like these to use their visions and make them your own. The hunt starts this week so be sure to get your comfortable shoes on and stock up on some really wonderful poses.

For more information on this great hunt you can visit their blog at: http://proposerssecondlife.blogspot.com/

More Welcomes to the ISSD

2011-01-01T13:22:00.000-08:00

We're welcoming two more stores to the ISSD today, and showing off some recent releases from my old favourite!

Leimoni has some gorgeous gowns and dresses to get you through what remains of the party season. I popped in to check out the store and just had to grab Pina Colada. The jewel encrusted bodice is just stunning.

All poses used in this entry are from our second new store. Clique makes poses with the blogger and photographer in mind. With standard and curvy versions of almost every pose, you can be sure they will work with almost any avatar size. Pop in to check out the poses and pick up a little gift.

I love the new releases that have been coming out of Sn@tch (TP Link) recently. Days of Wine and Roses has 7 silky cross back dresses with a cute sequin rose embellishment, perfect for parties! The Karma Tie-dye Tees come in 8 fabulous colours with sculpted sleeves. These look great with the East End Jeans. The skinny jeans have sculpted cuffs and are fabulously tie-dyed as well.

Last Year's Confetti would be one of my most favourite outfits. With a sexy sequin mini teamed with a glamorous cashmere sweater, its a gorgeous combination in 7 colours. The Hard Edge Leather Corsets come in 8 colours and will mix and match into any look. The Flora Skirts are sculpted and flexi and so pretty. These come with no glitch pants and in 8 colours. The finishing touch is the Crystal Gypsy Jewellry which has earrings and necklace with colour changeable gems.

One of the things I love about Sn@tch is all the fabulous opportunities to pick up freebies. I picked up the Joey Halter Tops through a lucky present when I was fishing and the Confetti Mini came in the group Xmas gift pack. The minis are also sold seperately in a pack of 8 colours - but it doesn't include this special colour.

Once again Sonia28 Jie's creativity is unlimited. Son!a Luxury Fashion is known grid wide for gorgeous evening wear and exquisite wedding gowns. Sonia proves that she also excels in casual clothing with her newest release, Charlie.

Charlie is a versatile pant outfit that can easily go from daytime to nighttime. Solid colored bolero jacket with matching leggings are combined with a detailed leather belt. The spaghetti strapped top is made from a glittering material that has a unique gathered back. The top stands can stand alone as well as add that amazing 'pop' under the jacket that Sonia28 Jie has never failed to achieve.

You would think that six amazing and rich colors are enough, but wait! Sonia has also created a seventh color for a limited time only. Pink is offered separately and is not included in the fatpack. Stop in now before the Limited Edition Pink disappears.

Whether you end or begin the new year at Son!a Luxury Fashion, Charlie is a perfect addition to your fashion wardrobe.

Once again I'm welcoming new stores to the ISSD!!!

B & G Shoes is going to become a favourite store for me, I can feel it. With stunning designs, easy to use HUDs and so affordable, its a shoe store you will come to love too! For me, it was Melody in Negro/Champagne to start off my new collection.

Je Suis is full of gorgeous accessories sure to be the perfect finishing touch to any outfit or look. The Tente Fire earrings and necklace are a gorgeous chunky design that look great. Also check out the nails. They come with so many options - with ring/without and a hud to change the stone, metal and nail colour in the range you purchase. I chose the reds.

There is still time to race into DK Designs to pick up the Fifty5 Thursday special for this week. Gara is a slinky, sexy black dress that will be perfect for your New Year's parties or just any special occasion.

All poses used in this post, and most of the blogs I do lately, are from another new store at the ISSD. I just love the poses you find at Di's Opera. Its full of edgy, high fashion and editorial poses perfect for adding a little more to your pictures.

If you are looking for a fabulous new skin with extra flexibility, the new Charli Skin at Bella Di Notte is perfect. Charli has been designed differently to previous skins at Bella Di Notte with the make-ups applied directly to each skin but with no eyeliner. The eyeliners come in transparent layers and can be used on any skin tone, adding a huge flexibility to create the exact eye makeup you want. Above, top left, is the Charli Base skin with Light Brows (the skins also come with a choice of dark brows), as you can see it is a great base to add make up layers and create your own look. To the right is Skin 7 with a gorgoeus deep red lipstick worn here with the Bella Di Notte Cleavage Enhancer.

Above right is Skin 3 with darker eyeshadow and paler lips and worn here with the Bella Di Notte Cleavage Minimiser. The cleavage packs are really great, both giving a very natural look, and are sold separately from the Skins Packs. They are very versatile in that they come with the undershirt layer as well as transparent layers so can be worn with almost any outfit you decide to put together. Top left is Skin 4 with a beautiful vivid green eyeshadow and below is Skin 6 with a pretty reddish/pink eye shadow.

Above is Skin 5 and SKin 2 shown with the Cat Full EyeLiner (on the left) and the Flicks Eyeliner (on the right). There are eight eyeliner options in total from basic to gothic, each one great to create your required look. The Eyeliners are sold separately but are also included in every Skin purchase. The Charli Skins really are great and if using viewer two you have the option of adding multiple tattoo layers to incorporate your favorite eyeliner as well as the Bella Di Notte Tattoo Lashes. You can check out these fabulous skins by following the link below to Bella Di Notte and try on your favorite demo's.

Karma has blonde eyebrows and comes with a natural face as well as 11 other makeup options. All faces come with a hair and no hair, cleavage and no cleavage options so you dont have to buy bases or enhancers to add to the layers of your avi, it’s all in this one folder!

Oh the weather outside may be frightful, but Aoharu is soooo delightful keeping you warm all winter long! I love the detail and the different options that Aoharu offers! Their sculptie outfits are some of the best in SL, and they definitely have my favorite jackets! I could have spent so much more- guess I'll have to break into my husband's wallet when he isn't looking! ;)

Love this dress! It comes in so many colors, but I went for the grey. I thought it was yummy! :)

This shirt is super cute, and since plaid is returning to the fashion world, I had to pick one up!

Oh, this is definitely one of my favorite pieces in the whole store! This zebra fur is soooo super sexy!

Wow! These two jackets make winter so cute! And Annex, the Aoharu shoe division, makes the cutest boots to match!!

This dress is so sexy, and the iridescent sheen on it is gorgeous! It comes in so many colors, but of course I picked pink... lol :D

Ok... SL is being stupid... just search Aoharu for a LM.... sorry!! :(

For all you 80s Madonna's out there, you NEEEEEED Like A Virgin. It will bring back sooo many memories. How this works is you grab a fishing pole (there is a vendor at the store if you don't have one) and then sit and fish. Along with fishie friends, you can catch items to make up this outfit.

Cuteness in the 50L Friday and Dressing Room!

2010-11-27T20:08:00.000-08:00

On my 50L jaunt this week I was brought to Milk Motion, a store I have loved for a long time since I stumbled upon them when they were brand new. Known for their impeccable prim based clothing, these are clothes I wish I had in real life and would wear them proudly. This week's 50L contribution included a pair of super cute brown boots, thigh high rolled socks and a brown cape. I happily bought the boots and socks and was sad when the blue dress in the photo was not out with the other items.

Fast forward a day, as I was making my weekly jaunt to the Dressing Room, I was excited to see the same blue dress on the wall, also from Milk Motion. I grab it and run like a kid on Christmas. And this is a good thing because Christmas is still a month away....

I thought this outfit went really well with Exodi's Isolde skin in the Nuit tone and makeup number 36. It has a natural look that is very relaxed and goes well with the outfit. I love my Truth Roxanna hair in Cocoa, it is a good brown with subtle tone differences, really natural looking but not too messy, still very sexy. Overall I think my weekend finds made for one fabulous outfit.

New Ponytails at Amacci

2010-11-14T16:00:00.001-08:00

Amacci has just released a new range of ponytails that are made to be worn with your Amacci hairbases.

A - Nikita is a wavy long tail that has hair twisting around it in place of a band.

B - Tasha is a long tail with plenty of volume and a thick black band wrapped around it.

A - Nicky is a cute mid length tail that brushes just below the shoulders with a black band wrapped around it.

B - Tonya is another longer tail with black band that hangs beautifully down the back.

A - Nettie is my fav though. Its a long tail that hangs beautifully down the back and looks just great.

B - Tina is a tail full of volume exploding from the hair wrapped around the top.

The tails come in all the colours to work with your Amacci hairbases and are so great for a casual or even a more dressy occasion. Check them out now and fall in love with them too!

Explore Your Fantasy with Finesmith!

2010-11-04T18:09:00.000-07:00

So yesterday the lovely Yula Finesmith of Finesmith Jewelry sent out her new range of jewellery for blogging. It had me a bit puzzled and I was pondering how best to showcase these unique and dazzling designs when another lovely lady, Syane Cisse from sYs, dropped her new gift skins into my inventory and inspiration struck!

Today you can grab the fabulous Cybergirl Earrings for only $55 at Finesmith. The gems are colour change and they are just a perfect addition to any jewellery box. The skin is just incredible! From the new Dual Skin Collection at sYs, the Darkness Code is a stunning makeup, and my favourite feature of these skins - the hairbases are soooo stunning that you can wear them as is, which is fabulous when you are showing off earrings!

Who says pendants need to hang from a chain? Not Finesmith!!! The new range is called in The FlaSH and its unlike anything you will have seen before! This unique range of jewellery pierces the skin, much like a brooch, and earrings compliment the pendants.

The Deco-Ra set combines abstract geometric designs and gems in new and exciting ways and the result is earrings that make a statement and a stunning chest pendant that is just dazzling. The skin is Yang from the Dual Skins with the black hairbase.

Acupuncture is a set that really lives up to its name. Staying with geometric shapes to accentuate the gems, they are on thin needle-like stems and pinned into the flesh. This set will definately be a talkig point when you wear it. The duality of the skins from sYs comes from two designers creating two skins that compliment each other. Darkness Venom is the sister skin of Darkness Code and is my favourite!

Want to really make a statement? Then Victorian Secret is just the set for you! Colour changeable gems dangle from a stake that plugs into the ears and pierces the chest! Don't worry Vampires, it misses the heart! Yin is Yang's sister skin, and its just as lovely.

Have fun with these exciting and dynamic pieces of jewellery in The FlaSH, or explore a different look with the Dual skins. Or combine them both for a spectacular and dazzling new look!

And don't forget the fabulous Finesmith Stylista Competition. Next theme - Classic!

Meet Irina!

2010-11-03T18:36:00.000-07:00

Irina is the name of the new skins out from Amacci...and she is gorgeous! Available in 5 skin tones, 16 makeups and 4 versions in each set (normal, cleavage, hairbase, hairbase/cleavage), you really are spoilt for choice.

The Goth tone is stunning. It comes with black brows and hairbase and is available in all 16 makeups. The Purple and Noir look especially sexy in this tone!

The Pale skins come with blonde brows and hairbase, perfect for those who like to wear blonde hairs without the dark brows. Wearing the Candy and Nude makeups.

I love the Fresh tone. Its such a natural looking gorgeous tone that you will fall in love with too. Wearing the Red and Vivid makeups.

Nutmeg is a lovely deep suntanned tone that gives a healthy touch of colour whilst still looking natural. Wearing Day and Ice makeups.

And lastly, the gorgeous Bronze tone. Its a luscious deep tone that gives such a stunning look to any shape and really flatters. Wearing Party and Drama.

You really cannot go wrong with these lovely new skins from Amacci. Pop in and check out Irina asap!

Body Basics: Meet Hope, Maverick Designs New Beauty

2010-11-02T10:09:00.000-07:00

Hope was released this past friday at Maverick Designs and I am certain she will become a sure-fire hit with the grid residents. This statuesque beauty has an exotic air about her and a hint of mystery. I surely can see her walking on runways in a sexy short number with a great pair of spiked stilettos. She is perfectly proportioned and has the same attention to detail that Maverick Designs is known for, if you are looking for a "new you", I urge you to try on Hope.

Hope's skin is equally stunning with the pops of color in just the right areas and the very kissable lips. The body itself is perfectly shaded and very true-to-life. If you just would like new skin Hope works with different eyebrow and body shapes, she is versatile and that is something that doesn't always happen in second life. She is a good friend to have in your inventory and an awesome every day skin with options for a elegant night look. She is just the perfect all around beauty.

Model/Photographer: Brie Pinazzo
Skin/Shape: Hope by Maverick Designs
Hair: Diva from Sixty Nine and Bebe from Truth
Lingerie: Fall Gift from Blacklace
Shoes: Wuthering Heights from Anuda

Miamai Fall Collection

2010-10-24T10:30:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has ever tried designing clothes in SL will know exactly how hard it is to produce the most basic of items and make them look good, I tried and gave up rather quickly. I am always therefore amazed when I see some of the outstanding designs hitting the shelves, and when I saw the new designs from Monica Outlander of Miamai there is certainly no doubt that they just keep getting better and better. I had the priviledge of receiving the latest Fall Collection from Monica and feel very honored to blog such stunning designs.

Here I have shown five of the new Miamai gowns from this year's Fall collection. At the top is the absolutely gorgeous Julie Gown shown in Gold. Julie is designed with a long silk underskirt with a sculpted prim skirt over the top consisting of intertwined chiffon and silk leaves and finished of with beautiful little flowers in contrasting colors throughout the skirt and waist. Above is the Ophelia Gown shown in Green. Ophelia is quite a majestic gown designed with a heavier silk texture on the long flowing skirt and with a elegant hand painted bodice leading to the oversized diamond studded collar. Ophelia also comes with matching short length lace gloves giving a very stylish finish to the gown.

The next sensational gown to wet your appetite is the Antea Gown shown here in Purple. To say it is one of my favorites would be a mistake because they are all my favorites! The Antea Gown is very traditional in style with a wide skirt designed with soft and flowing prims so elegantly put together and trimmed with beautiful silver detail around the bottom. Antea comes with a matching cropped jacket with high sculpted shoulders giving a very couture look to the gown.

All of the gowns in the new Fall Collection are available in a wide variety of colors from the more neutral colors of black, white and gold to more vibrant colors of azure and emerald and I just loved the blue shade of the Skay Gown shown above. Skay is designed with an asymmetrical silk skirt with pretty floral detail around the waist and a hand painted bodice finished off with matching leaves on the front and back.

Finally it is time for the Sannah Gown pictured above in Rose. For anyone who prefers a more simple gown Sannah is just perfect, it really is one of the most beautiful gowns I have seen in Secondlife. Designed with a gorgeous shimmery silk texture flowing softly to the ground and an elegant low cut bodice top with diamond detail. The back is cut very low on the Sannah Gown giving a very sexy but sophisticated look and is finished off with an asymmetrical neckpiece, which sits delicately around the neck.

With Christmas coming up and many parties and formal occasions to attend, the new collection at Miamai is the place to shop. Each gown is designed with such intricate attention to detail and you really do feel like a princess in such high quality and well made designs. Follow the link below to Miamai to check out the Fall collection as well as some very unique Halloween outfits.

Wearing: All Gowns and Loretta Hair Bun in Blonde from Miamai. Ballerina Bracelet from JCNY and LOLA Skin from LeLutka.
