Happy Diwali!

Diwali is the Indian Festival Of Lights, a joyous celebration often marked with Fireworks and the Lighting of Hundreds of Candles or Lamps. Also known as Deepavali, it marks the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile. Rama was welcomed by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name, Deepavali. This word, in due course, became Diwali in Hindi. The festival marks the victory of good over evil, and uplifting of spiritual darkness. Symbolically it marks the homecoming of goodwill and faith after an absence, and if often celebrated with new clothes and by sharing sweets and snacks. I can't offer you Galub Jamun, Jalebi, or Ladoo, some of my favorite sweets, but I can show you my newest costume from Zaara Indian Couture. The Visaka Lehnga and Choli Costume includes the veil and the tied sash at the waist so you can dance like a starlet Right out of a Bollywood Movie. The colour is sensational and joyous, and the hand made textures are some of Zarra Kohime's best work to date.



I pulled on the great Jangle Bangle Bracelets from Ephemeral Creations that I picked up at the Jewelry Expo, and tinted the silver ones pink to work with the outfit. Zaara also has some of the most amazing traditional and modern Indian jewelry, and I love this Suvarna Kundun necklace, it is incredible well made and is very like the ones real Indian brides wear on their wedding day. The Suvarna set comes with an entire trousseau of pieces, including anklets, which I am also wearing. The Sari's Aubergine Henna tattoos were a gift from the Grid Wide Ghostbusters Halloween Hunt going on now with Vain Inc. and over 100 amazing creators. I love the colour and style of this henna set. Also wearing my Caroline's Jewelry Gimcrack Diamond Solitaire Ring.



Hair is a lovely sculpted Chestnut Brown wig from Armidi Hair in The Pasadena Girl IV style. The lovely warm Golden Bisque skin is from ~~Ivalde~~, the Inari A make-up. Neferia has really created a lovely line of skins, and they are so well priced for a package of several make-ups. Head to ~~Ivalde~~ to try some of her Demos, they are worth a look if you love make-up options and deals! Eyes are **[Riddle]**, the lovely Realistic Brights in Brown, and sexy Separated Lashes are from Cake. Happy Diwali everyone, may you find light in your life everyday.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

Anyone who has ever been to one of the "Bollywood Night" Events at PIN UPS knows how absolutely passionately I adore Indian Cinema. I have a collection of over 300 Bollywood movies on DVD. I used to watch them end to end, at 3 hours a film, I was having to look less and less at the English subtitles, and began to actually understand the Hindi, and all the dialects in the various films. I was enchanted with the colour, the songs and dances, and the culture, and of course, I am a total sucker for melodrama. It all started after a friend from University took me with her to Little India, and shared with me her passion for the country she grew up in. Since that first day wandering the streets, eating delicious snacks like pani purri and masala dosa, and chat papri, buying incense, and looking through shops full of colourful Sari, I was hooked. Indian food is without a doubt my favorite, and that coupled with a great bollywood movie is a brilliantly joyous thing.



I have been collecting Sari, Choli and Lengha, Salwaar Kameez, Kurta Pajama, and all sorts of other Indian fashions since some of my earliest days, but for the most recent "Bollywood Night", I decided it was time to check out Zaara Indian Couture. I had seen it blogged often, loved the colour and creativity, but had never seen much of the traditional costumes in store. I was absolutely delighted to find some of the most beautiful Indian Fashions I have seen in-world thus far. This Rustic Rhythm Purple costume had me at hello, and I knew it was just what I wanted. I had seen some of my favorite Bollywood Starlets wear outfits just like this, Aishwarya Rai, Rani Mukerji, Preeti Zinta, Karisma Kapoor, Kajol, I can see them dancing in costumes just like this, the traditional white stacked bangles climbing up their long beautiful arms. If you have never seen a bollywood movie, start with something more accessible like Bollywood/Hollywood or Bride & Prejudice both English Language, or go with classics like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or Taal. You will find yourself enjoying them even if you never thought you might. The name of this post is for one of my favorite movies of all time, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.



My look is rounded of with this fabulous Group Gift skin from ~~Ivalde~~, no longer available as a gift, the Violante in the Gold Bisque tone is a lovely coffee coloured tone, and the make-up is lovely. The new ~~Ivalde~~ skins are fabulous, go give them a try, they are a great value, with three lipstick shade in each pack, and very reasonably priced. Hair is Armidi's Pasadena Girl, a lovely long waved style. Glassy Mustard Green Eyes are from Freak Fantasia, and lovely Bedroom Lashes from Cake. The lovely dark Henna Tattoos are from Canimal, I used to go get black designs on my ankles during the summer, really fun and a great temporary tattoo. Worn but hidden are earrings by Drifting Sands and fabulous Bohemian Ankle Wrap Flats sandals from Boing Fromage.

Soft, Pink, Hope...

Each year I look forward to the Relay For Life Campaign in-world, so that I can shop with purpose, and wear these special items with pride. When I stopped in to ETD this week, I was thrilled to see that once again, Elikapeka Tiramisu was taking part, and offering special Hair packs, with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. This adorable style, called Strength III from ETD comes with a head-scarf in the RFL signature colour pink, and in a number of shades packs. I just love how bright and fresh this pink is, it fills me with hope and joy.

To dress myself from the top down, so to speak, I choose this soft and lovely sweater from BP*, called the Unisex Border Sweater, it has prim collar, cuffs, and waist hem pieces, and looks so darn real. I pulled on these fabulous jeans from SD Wears that I snagged at The Starlust Motel. Called the Valley Girl Jeans, they ooze casual relaxed comfort and I love the use of system elements for belts. I chose these amazing Patent Urban flats from !Boing Fromage!, which are colour scripted to change 5 different parts of the shoe for endless combinations. If you like a casual shoe, you have to put these on you MUST HAVE List. I pulled in my favorite relaxed purse, this adorable Denim Hobo from Celestial Studios, which is so brilliantly textures, and uses sculpties to perfection. With all the prims in the sweater, all I needed was a sweet ring, this one called the Princess Ring from Paper Couture.

I have switched back to my old favorite eyes for now on urging of my man who missed them, from Freak Fantasia, called the Glassy Mustard Green, the are so big and glossy, very sweet. Lashes are from [Detour], and although I have about 4 sets of lashes from them, but always wear these Love Lashes. This sweet and lovely skin is from biancaF., called the LONDON2 in the Ivory tone, Fata line. The more I wear Bianca's skins, the less I can imagine ever wearing another. So here I am, soft, pink, and full of hope!

New Bohemian

Every now and then, I like to switch up my look and go for something that may not be the hottest look of the moment, but rather a classic style that can work from season to season. I have always loved a Bohemian look, and this adorable Skirt and Camisole from the Sela Set at Luminosity is really wearable. The skirt moves really nicely, and is a bit sheer, so it almost floats around you when in motion. The Sela Set comes with two jacket options of it's own, but I opted instead for the Laine Bolero from !Boing Fromage!, which is tintable and can be made to match any look. I opted to pick up the green in the camisole, and tinted it this lovely olive colour.

I have been asked a whole bunch about this hair from Tukinowaguma, and I honestly don't remember how I found the shop, but it has some really cute hair for gals and guys, and the Tae style is just so fresh and flirty. My eyes are my old favorites, Glassy Mustard Green from Freak Fantasia, and I love the glossy look of them. I am addicted to Love Lashes from [Detour], and wear them almost exclusively lately. Another great skin from biancaF., the *QS* Freebie Skin [an Update Group Gift] is so lovely, and I am hungry for more new releases and make-ups.

I stumbled on a little shop called Missakiss months ago, and picked up this cute Tote Bag for all of $50LaLas. The shop has some cute stuff, and nothing over that price, so it is worth a look. This sweet necklace from Paper Couture, called the Heirloom Pendant, is really special, I love the organza ribbon tied in a bow around the Cameo. I am wearing my very un-bohemian Gimcrack Diamond Ring from Caroline's Jewelry, but it is my engagement ring, so I wear it unless another attachment takes it off my hand. I love these boots from Frangipani Designs, called the Vixen Boot, I have them in this great Voodoo Brown colour as well as a black version. I am also rocking one of Bonita Popinjay's fabulous bracelet sets, this Browns & Pearls Set has some really interesting textures and colours, and it works with so many of my outfits.

Banana Who?

Ok, so... Prom and The Re-Opening of PIN UPS Literally knocked me out, we were packed to the gills, and it was a crash-tastic time! So I have been a little behind on the blogging, but now it is time for a little catch-up! The day of Prim [Virtual but still A Blast], I decided to put an easy casual look together, and I started it off with these great Tres Blah! Sunny Jeans. Love the colour of them, and the shading is really nicely done. I wanted to stick with a colourful theme, so I went with this fabulous layered T-Shirt (On Jacket Layer) from Ki-Squared. Called the Banana Mayhem Layered Top, I love the kitsch and the colour of it, and it really makes putting a look together so easy.

I slid into some fabulous comfy flats from Shiny Things, these Francoise Flats in Mango are simply flawless, and I have them in 3 different colours, so you know they gotta be good. Some bangles from Boing Fromage add a little more colour, and the mismatched sets look like I threw them on while dashing to the mall for some last minute Prom related goodies. This Sea Suede Purse, one I have had for quite a while, from Naughty Designs is adorable, I got my hair brush and my keys, and I am ready to rock. I threw on one of my all time casual necklaces, this Picture Pendant from Canimal is great and you can change the picture by clicking on it.



More fabulous Two-Toned Exclusive Hair from Here Comes Trouble, this is the Ajilee in Black, and I love the flexi ponytail in the back, and the height of the semi-braided crown. This skin, a Freebie Subscribe-O-Matic gift from *QS* to the biancF. group is so amazing, I love the eyes on it, very smokey but not too dramatic, and the neutral lip is very sweet. I can't wait to see the full line of *QS* Skins. Really loving theses BBBM Splatter eyes for their light colour and the way they look so expressive, and again Love Lashes from Detour make an appearance. I am all set to go grab that Super Shiny lip-gloss for Prom Night!

Gritty Little PIN UP Kitty

Okies, back to the matter at hand, or at paw as the case may be. Sometimes I just want to go Neko! I wanted to throw together a fun casual look, wear some of my old favorites, and some of my new faves. And I think I managed to pull off a real cute one this time.

This set of Neko Ears and Tail, were the first I ever purchased for an event at the club, and they are still favorites. They are from Arianna Designs! (Ari-licious) and are just a nice simple set for anyone who is an occasional Neko. I decided to go with one of my favorite wigs from Maitreya, Sophie is great with the colour scripted bands that can be made to match anything, and I love that the face lights are optional with Maitreya hair, since I almost never remember to wear them otherwise. I am once again drawn to the new Canimal Essence skins, and I really am going to have to go over and scoop up a batch, I want to experiment with some different make-ups to see if they grown on me some more. I am also really loving the new [Detour] Lashes, and have been wearing this set called Love Lashes almost exclusively since I purchased them.

For a nice casual look, I started with one of the super-fun T-Shirts from Sh*t Happens, and pulled on a pair of jeans from []::Tuli::[]. I really love wearing these patent flats from Boing Fromage!, ultimately customizable about 4 different ways, they are really such a great economical option for a flat shoe this season. Alpaca arm warmers from Argyle also spunk up this look a bit, and add some texture and interest. This Recycled Jewelry set from Shiny Things is just so awesome, love the frayed wires and the set looks so real, a really well made set. A Sassy lunch box from Canimal doubles as a purse, and I am ready to leap into action!

Groovy is in My Heart

I have been re-kindled a love affair that began over a year ago when I first began my SL Fashion Passion. "BareRose Tokyo" had been releasing some amazing looks lately, going far being their Goth and Asian inspired looks, to embrace costumes, steam punk, street punk, neko, and retro wear. As always, the work is incredibly detailed, with so many options in every box, and transferable too. But perhaps the very best part, the LOW PRICES! I honestly have no idea how they do it, maybe the sheer volume of sales, but I rarely have paid over $250L for anything at "BareRose".

Always on the Look-Out for retro inspired looks that I can wear to my Era Music Events when I DJ at PIN UPS Night Club, I fell instantly in love with this groovy little 'Psychedelico' outfit from "BareRose". It comes complete with headband, bangles, 4 different colour option for pants, a Necklace, this adorable halter top with Prim ties, a belt (not worn), and I think it may have come with shoes too. It is a complete look in a box, and it makes getting dressed a breeze. I can see wearing this top this coming season with other look, even over a swimsuit, and the bangles are very pretty and wearable in general.

I threw on this Fabulous "Aden" 'Farrah' wig for the ultimate big and wild 60s' Era Hair Look. I am again wearing one of the new 'Canimal' Essence Skins that have be seriously contemplating a chance from my usual 'Celestial Charmed' Looks. It is really just a lovely skin, and now that Canimal Zephyr has released new funky make-ups, the urge to switch is even stronger. I love these "!Boing Fromage!" sandals, and they always bring authenticity to any Hippie or Boho look. I was feeling really Groovy and Ready To Party!

Big Bomb Diva

I have a ridiculous sense of humor sometimes, I like things that border on the absurd. So here I am, wearing maybe the biggest Wig in all of SL, the coveted 'Big Bomb' Hair from BettitPage Voyager's "BP*", and I decided it yet needed something more... yep, a fancy hat! I just thought that this hair, which has been worn (and blogged) by everyone and their SL uncle, needed a little personalization. "Elegance Hats" has had a home on Retrology since the SIM opened, and this amazing hat is one of Morrigan's Newest Creations, the 'Betty Golden Pheasant'. I wanted it the minute I saw it, and just love the green of the feathers, it matched the rest of this look so well. I have dozens of hats, I usually forget to wear them... but this one simply cannot be forgotten!

The dress, the new 'Lady Minx' in Green from "Mimikri" is a brilliant ruched heaven. Yes, my addiction for the colour green knows no bounds! And even though this dress comes is half a dozen delicious colours, I simply had to go for the green! I love the matching gloves, and though this look was very couture and quite a switch-up for me. I seriously tried every pair of tights in my inventory on, hoping I could get this look a little more funk-a-fied, but in the end decided that the best match was a simple pair of Tan hose, these from "Blaze". The shoes are some of my favorites, and every time I wear them I am determined to head back over to "Lassitude & Ennui" and grab more of their brand of fabulous. I threw on the wardrobe staple 'Cameo & Sautoir' necklace from "Boing Fromage", if you don't own it already... what are you waiting for, it is just too fun and can be worn with so many different looks! This Look is Big, It's 'Da Bomb', and I am such a Diva!

Cute As A Cherry Button

I have been enjoying visiting the 'Cherry Buttons' Shopping Village and been picking up mucho much stuff lately. These Fabu 'Hustler' glasses from "Sonny's Sunnies" by Melatonin Hax are so Hunky Chunky Awesome! This top, from “Twosome” as well as the great tights were nifty finds there as well! And YAY for “Twosome” for giving us tucked top options… LOVE LOVE LOVE that! I am so in love with these bunchy legged shorts from "D!FF", it was hard to settle on just one colour, and I will likely be back for a second... or heck even a third! All these items are available at 'Cherry Buttons', and so much more... you have ta go!

I picked up this sweet wig from "Cake" this week too, and it sort of reminds me of one of my other favorite styles lately, but it is much more tousled and funky, and I am so digging it! The jacket was a gift from my Sister Nessa, and I love the brightness, surprised to see it was from "Dutch Touch" which I normally would associate with darker more urban and subdued garb. The shoes, well if you haven't got a pair yet... you are missing out... there is nothing more perfect to pair with tights then some sweet 'Mary Jane' styles shoes, but Tesla Miles really done good with these, the textures didn't photograph as well as I had hoped, but they look like silk taffeta up close. I love the ribbon detail on the heel, how cute right? But also, the buckle is so nicely made... the colours of this "Estella" shoe are fruity-liscious... and so fun! I loved to put in the little detailed bits like this "Yummy" 'Mixtape' necklace, and these cute 'Heart Dangle' Bangles from "Boing Fromage'. This look made me smile from the inside out...

Lucky 13

The number 13 has always been very lucky for me, I turned 13 on a Friday the 13th. It was lucky I had this great T-Shirt, one of many I own from "Boing Fromage!" in my closet for our recent "T's Me" T-Shirt Event. I love pairing grungy basics with a bit of dressy sparkle, and this awesome vest by "Kenzie & Co." let most of the T-Shirt show. Sassy little mini-skirts, like this one from "amerie's NAUGHTY" just scream for thigh high socks, and I scooped up armloads of them on my last trip to "MG Fashion", they come in dozens of colours in fat-packs, grab em! Always looking for a reason to wear these amazing 'Bloom' Boots from "Maitreya"... I think this look came together nicely. A touch of Cyber-Punk in the Gloves, some sleek "ETD" hair, and I made 13 the Luckiest Number of ALL!

Camping Out!

For the "Camping Out" Event at PIN UPS, I raided the Closet for my best cold weather camping look. This Jacket, a favorite, from "Little Rebel" screams Lumberjack's Daughter to me! I paired it with these great Cargo Khakis from "Fashionably Dead" and some sturdy boots from "Jeepers Creepers". I love this Hair/Hat combo from "PushButton Industries", and think it adds just enough funk to the look to make it mine. I dashed over to "RUST" for a backpack, and came up with this great one at a very reasonable price (< $100L!). I'm ready to Hike!
