Vanilla Kitty + Honey Bears

Some times, I just wanna be cute. There is so much cuteness out there on the grid that it's an easy look to pull off, and dressing up with dashes of whimsy and kitsch has a certain appeal. This look started with this adorable Rainbow Cardigan from Honey + Kitty, I choose the Oreo Colour because of the Cupcake Design, and I really loved the black and white polka dots. It has prim sleeve parts, with a touch of lace, and two options for the colour of the trim. Really a sweet little sweater, and it does come in about half a dozen delightful colours, all with different designs on the front. I wanted to pair it with some cute and equally relaxed pants, and these =DeLa*= Stacy Capri Jeans with Rolled Prim Cuffs have a really worked in look, the coloured stains make it look like I was rolling down a grassy hill.

Accessories are just as fun, starting with this great Sassy Grandma Necklace from Ki-Squared. Really cute pastel colour beads, and the double strand is really sweet. I also pulled in this adorable Canimal Bear Hug Ring. It makes me laugh to look at it now because a friend of mine thought it was poop, so I call it my Pooh Bear ring. I am also wearing my Red Ruin Lip Ring, and decided to go with a bit more edgy kind of cute, adding my Canimal Henna II Tattoos. Somehow adding some edgier elements cuts the sweetness factor a bit so you don't go into sugar shock. Shoes are the ever fabulous Tesla Diva Heels in Black, and the handbag is from [ICoN], new to me and discovered on a shopping trip to the Juicy Boardwalk last week. The Snakeskin Bag comes in a three pack for different hold points, and it is available is half a dozen yummy colours.



I have seen people wear this awesome Vanilla hair from Creamshop before, but never realized just how great it was. I comes in a pack with 4 options, a plain version, and then accessorized versions, including one with a tiny hat, but I choose the one with the Star Hairpin. I love this Celestial Studios Charmed Skin with the glittery Gold eyeshadow, and I particularly love wearing it with cute looks like this, the glitter is very girly. Bedroom Lashes are from Cake, and Mystical Doll Eyes are from Naughty Designs.

Anything But Rainbow Bright

Sometimes you pick your clothes based on your moods. When I am feeling a little like I want to go un-noticed, or hide in the background, I go for dark neutrals and simple shapes. For the most part this look is all shrinking violet, but as you can see... there is also the illusive Rainbow on the horizon. This Dress and tights are a sweet almost Gothic Lolita look from Honey Kitty (*H+K*), the Cloudy Bambina comes is a dozen layer options and includes the tights (and several accessories, not worn here).

I felt like the sleeveless top with lace trip was a little to open for my pre-spring mood, so I added a great Ribbed Sweater on the Skirt Layer. From Lala, is came White but is Mod so I tinted a muted olive to match the dress. Speaking of tinting, I chose a necklace from Swallowtail, the Knit Bead in White, also tinted a dusty Navy shade to match. I chose one of my many pairs of Dune boots from Maitreya, this Black pair keeps things slender and sleek, and are really a great pair to have in your closet. I also pulled in a great piece of Kitsch, a Rainbow Brite Lunch Box from illuminare, a pop of colour and fun so things didn't get too dreary. I pulled on a Sanskrit Cuff from Naughty Designs for a little more polish.



This great messy Brandi wig is from Here Comes Trouble, and I musy go back soon for more great styles, I barely touched the surface of what they have to offer. This skin is a favorite Freebie Skin from the biancaF. update group, from *QS*, it is sweet and I love the mustes lip and dramatic bur soft eyeshadow. Lashes and Eyes from Detour, if you have never been, you must go, it is worth a look!

Ruffling A Few Feathers...

Every time I go shopping, I carefully sort all my purchases into my "NEW" folder,divided by about a dozen sub-folders by category (i.e. SHOES, TOPS, PANTS, Etc.). When I am putting a daily look together, I start by diving into these "NEW" Items, and build a look around at least one of them. I have had this adorable ruffled blouse from "Honey Kitty" for ages, but it always felt very Gothic Lolita to me, until I decided to pair it up with a pair of fabulous high-waisted pants from "PERSONA". This to me looked sharp and modern, and was all 'Woman'.

With such a feminine statement as this blouse, I choose to opt out of over-accessorizing this look. I wanted a little pop of colour, and these amazing shoes from 'Detour' were just the ticket. The 'Glamour Metallic Pumps' come in gold, silver, black, but also this amazing patent-leather like red. I love that they peek out from under these slacks, they add a touch of playful to what could easily have become a very stuffy look. I picked up this amazing hair from "TRUTH" while egg-hunting recently, no eggs for me, but who cares, this 'Damien 2' style is brilliant. I love that "TRUTH" sells their hair in 3-tone packs, including black and white (my two colours of choice), in the SAME pack! A fabulous Elongated clutch from "Muism" is all that was needed to complete this fab fashionista look.
