A Little Fan GurL Time

There are a lot of things that I adore in Second Life. I am a huge fan of accessories in particular. I love bracelets all the way up my arms, I love bags, and heck, do I ever love my shoes. So this look is a great opportunity to go all Fan GurL on some of the best and brightest stars on the Grid in the accessories department.  Lindsey Warwick is quickly becoming one of the best and most dedicated shoe makers around, always impeccably textured, her shoes under the [L.Warwick] brand are simply foot candy. Her newest release is perhaos her best so far, available exclusively now at the My Slink Obsession Event, the [L.Warwick] Cordelia Platform Heels come with three strap variations, all at one incredible teeny tiny price. 

ISON by Harry Hyx is another total winner winner chicken dinner creator in my book. This newest ISON Summer Striped Net Bag is an example of a genius creation. It has specially crafted handles that fit perfectly in my Slink Avatar Enhancement Hands, the bag is also slightly curved away from the leg, so it photographs and wears beautifully without cutting into my Avatar. It also has those little details that make it superbly well crafted, textured stitches and details, sheer panels, and best of all, heaps of practical goodies inside the bag for the most realistic look. Get your own in a variety of color options exclusively at the new Uber Event.

Getting back to bangles, my personal favorite must-have jewelry item in Second Life, there is no one like Zaara Kohime to make my arms jingle jangle jingle with joy. Back when Summerfest 2014 was all the rage, I snapped up these absolutely luxe Indra Bangle Stacks from {Zaara Couture}. There is so much detail, so much color, and both gold and silver versions in the set, I couldn't live without them. I treasure all my Zaara jewelry, and have been collecting it for almost 7 years. Just try to pry it out of my pretty little mesh hands, I dare you. OK, Fan GurL session over for today, I need to go fan myself off, I am feeling hawt!

Hair Fair - Predator Or Prey

Some times it is difficult to tell who is the Hunter and who is the Hunted.  One can look deceptively meek and vulnerable, and then when threatened, unleash the beast inside. This sweet Pixie Cut from *~*Damselfly*~*, available Exclusively at Hair Fair 2014 until July the 27th, is one of those looks that can mask the fierce warrior within. Eilana is precisely the sort of wonderful style that is only possible with the advent of the Tattoo Hair Base, and when that layer is used well, it makes magic. I opted to go back to the Safari Chic look once more, I simply could not resist a little sexy and tribal with such a short wig. I think this look is deceptively simple and cute, and definitely masks the Femme Fatale in hiding.

Hair Fair - On Fashion Safari

Another fabulous Hair Fair 2014 stunner, this time from Clawtooth:. This Cherry Bomb style is aptly named, it is a sexy bed head mess of sexiness, and I love the mid-length cut so much. Speaking of love, I finally managed to get my pixelated tush to this month's COLLABOR88 event, and I was never so happy to delay gratification. The theme is Safari Chic, and the offerings are completely brilliant. You can go full on traditional, with a palate of khaki, tan, and brown, or go with a more modern twist on the look, the choices are endless. As always, the best part of COLLABOR88 is how well everything works together. A top from ::{u.f.o}::, shorts from Tee*fy, and shoes from Pure Poison. Jewelry from [MANDALA] and ISON. How could I not blow up my Linden dollar balance when it all just is so perfectly mix and match friendly.  Get yourself to COLLABOR88 and enjoy a little trip to the "Dark Continent".

Hair Fair - Daisies and Diamonds

One of my favorite things about Hair Fair, is the discovery of really lovey wigs, and lovely hair bases to go with them. Because they can be worn separately, you can really customize your looks by wearing a hair base from one creator and a wig from another. It allows for endless personalization, which, lets face it, is hard to accomplish in Second Life when so many avatars wear very popular skins and mesh heads. This lovely weighted curl Diamond style from ISON is new and available Exclusively right now at Hair Fair 2014. The delicate baby haired hair base is from ICONIC, and just worked so well with this style, I opted to keep it on. It is also available at the Hair Fair 2014, with a style called The Icon, blogged HERE. I was feeling very girly, so pulled together a great look to wear with my new Floral Skirt 2 by [MotiAme], available at the new round of The KUSTOM 9. So from Diamonds to Daisies, my personal style will always come out on top!

Golden In The Office

[Full Credits Below Post]

 Every now and again, I feel a classy moment coming on. Well, classy done my way. When it comes to office wear, I wish everyday was a casual Friday, but since it isn't, I have to sneak little bits of me into what would be considered 'acceptable' in any workplace. A little bare midriff never hurt a girl, it done with taste, and this fabulous new offering from *BOOM* give you the sweetly soft and ruffled look of a good girl, with a bad girls' exposure of skin. You can one in a great range of colors at the new COLLABOR88 round.

Paired with another COLLABOR88 offering, these ISON trousers are mesh perfection with a neat crease and perfect fit out of the box. I knew when I purchased these fab tulip. sandals at the last COLLABOR88 round, they would find their way into my blog one way or the other, and this was the day to show them off. They are stunners on my Slink feet, and I am now a certifiable shoe addict thanks to a little action over at On Your Toes.

Jewelry was another pleasure to pull out of my inventory, especially when Maxi Gossamer's work is involved. I marvel at her skill and range with prims and scripting, so much to customize and always so many options with each package of goodies. I love breaking up a set and mixing and matching, as I did here with one bangle and a ring. The watch is a new-to-me find from a m o r o u s, and what working girl doesn't need a smart time keeper.

I have always been a skin loyalist, and I can't get enough of all my Jen skins from *League*, I actually recently went back to get the same skin in a darker tanned tone, since I am looking forward to spring and summer exposure. The easy peasy way you can custom tint your hands with Slink appliers from *League* makes them a no brainer for me, which is important when you are getting used to new features. Speaking of new, nail polish is a sudden must-have item in my looks, and I am particularly gushy about this set from Pekka, featuring stunning Black Matte finished nails with a shiny metallic strip. They look so amazing, I think I must purchase the real world equivalent a.s.a.p., so it's off to the shops on my lunch break!
