Happy Anniversary To Us...

On March 30th, My Partner in all things Draco Tatsu and I celebrated our One Year Partnering Anniversary in-world. We never had a wedding, it just wasn't something we wanted, we just knew we were meant to be together, and we have been since our first date about 6 weeks before we partnered. I have never wanted the whole white wedding thing in RL, and in my virtual life this was no different, but if I was the sort of girl who wanted that, this might have been the look I would have gone for. Simple, clean, classic, romantic.

The most wonderful feature of this look is this wonderful sculpted dress from Armidi Gisaci, called the White Silk Organza Dress. It is lovely to look at, but not very practical when mixed with an AO or while dancing, and difficult to photograph in a lot of poses, but still an amazing dress that is available in a dozen delicious colours. I am also wearing some soft full romantic hair from Armidi Hair, The Glamorous III, which really makes you want to run your fingers through it, I felt my forehead was a little over exposed, so I tacked on these fabulous ETD Left Swept Bangs to fill out the look.

I wanted to go with some simple white pearls, and EARTHTONES has delivered some of my favorites, in the Divine Pearls sets with Silver findings. I am wearing one of the Grazia Bracelets, as well as the mostly hidden Grazia Necklace, and find them to be really lovely and versatile. I am also wearing my engagement ring from Caroline's Jewelry, the Gimcrack Diamond Solitaire, which I almost always have on my hand. It is definitely ostentatious, but for some reason that is what I love about it, it is an outward sign that I am very much 'partnered' for all intents and purposes.

I loved this delightful Wilted Bouquet from Shiny Things, and the tulips and pale colours make it feel very much like spring to me. I strapped on a very simple ankle wrapped shoe from Paper Couture, not a new one for me, but the Lu sisters have them up in their shop still, and I think maybe in a few more spring like colours as well. One of my favorite Celestial Studios Skins, some amazing lashes from Detour (appropriately called Love Lashes), and my favorite eyes from Freak Fantasia complete this look. I may never have been a blushing virtual bride, but I feel like a new bride every day with my darling man.

All Wrapped Up In The Rockabilly!

The minute I saw this hot little number at Little Rebel, it made my Rockabilly Kitten heart soar. It is one fierce little dress, called the Kool Kitty Panel Dress, and there is so much to love about it. I love the bow detail, the animal print panel and the black satin sides, which really add a slimming effect, but check out the sexy shine on my backside. All I can say is that my man was very happy to see me in it, and his eyes were on my tush all night.

To top off my look, I had to go with some hair from Old Gravy, because they did Rockabilly best, and I am still waiting for news on whether they will be re-opening their store anytime soon. I would find the prims on Retrology to give them a home, they were too fabulous to be forgotten. I thought I had pretty much every make-up in the Charmed Line of skins from Celestial Studios in my skin tone, but somehow missed this amazing Infrared one, I picked it up recently and I love it. If only Starley Thereian would release more make-ups for me in her Charmed Skins, this is like #1 on my wish list! Although I have a few of Canimal Zephyr's Tats, I love wearing this Henna Set from Canimal with dresses, it is very sexy and doesn't distract from the colour of the dress or outfit you are wearing.

Of course, no look rockability look is complete without some heavy /artilleri/, and this 8 Ball Handbag and these fabulous colour tintable Rockin Earrings are perfection. As for shoes, there is something so brilliant about these Alexis shoes from Melanie Zhao's ZHAO Shoes. The cherries on the shoes are so cute and they are uber sexy, but worn with this dress look less like stripper shoes and more like vixen heels. I love these layered necklaces from OPIUM Everyday and love tinting them to go with my favorite outfits, they make your money go so much further! I little metal with a nose stud from Tickled Pink worked nicely here too, and a set of funky bracelets from WRONG! also add to the 'Bad Girl' look I have working. Now I am ready to get "All Wrapped Up in The Rockabilly" at PIN UPS!

Pixel Perfect Pixie

When I do my rounds on Retrology, as I do almost every week, I am always looking out for something NEW and fabulous on the Retro Scene, and I always stop into "Marlys" to see what's new. How I missed this one, I am not sure... but the minute I spotted "Marlys" fabulous 'Slim Pixie' I was ecstatic! I love short styles, and have been looking for a Twiggy Perfect Pixie Cut, but had yet to find one that looked right. There is no doubt for me that this wig by "Marlys" is by far the best pixie style cut I have seen in SL. It frames the face beautifully, and really complimented the angles of my face. I would wear it every day if I could, no word of a lie, and if I could get away with it in RL, I would take a snap of this to my Hairdresser in a second.

Yay for exposed necks, and yay for these fabulous chandelier earrings from "{JUNK}", could you die! They are over 130 prims per earring, and definitely not something you wear to a fashion show or full and laggy sim... but WOW! There are just amazing works of art, and paired with the Pixie cut, they are brilliant. I wanted to go with a more retro make-up here, and nothing is more retro then Blue Shadow, this skin from "Celestial Studios" Charmed Line makes blue shadow positively modern and fresh, and I love the way the upper lid liner extends past the lash line, very sexy. With a Pixie Cut, there is always the risk of looking boyish, but some fabulous feminine Lashes from "Celestial Studios" make a very feminine silouette here.

With these statement earring, I opted to not wear a necklace, and went for a plunging neckline with this fabulous dress from "*FUSE", called the 'Waldorf'. It is lovely, and I love the petal like hemline on the skirt. It also comes with Jacket/Shirts options, so you can easily work to top into another outfit. Some sleek boots from "Maitreya" in this Suede work well with a softer black, and really, this makes three pairs of 'Dune' boots for me... but who is counting (/me puts fingers in ears and hums).

Another bag I love to wear, this sweet "Deux Filles" purse with it's fabulous transparent bag, filled with all the things a good Fashionista should have, Sunglasses, Chanel No. 5, Compact, Lipstick, and CASH. As you all know by now, I am all over anything with kitschy details, and this purse is just adorable. Simple thin Multi-hued Metallic Bangles from "OPIUM Everyday" finish off my look.
