Elvira, Mistress of the Dorks!

Elvira Mistress Of The Dorks [October 30/08] 2

Just having a little more Halloween fun tonight, with the "Horror Pops" Event at PIN UPS. I wasn't ready to go full-on gore, but settled on a cross between favorite vampy icons Elvira and Morticia Adams. It started with this great costume from A Touch of Ireland, and if you have never been there to costume shop, you have to check it out. Some crazy adorable costumes, and all really sexy too. This Morticia Dress also came with a choker I decided to leave off, but it is the plunging v-neck that made it feel more Elvira to me.

How could you not take every opportunity to wear this amazing Amy hair from Aden. It is the biggest of Bee-Hive Dos I have found yet, and it so over the top it screams for attention. The skin was a gift from bianca Foulon, who's bianca F. Drama make-ups are really worth checking out. Some are a little too over the top for me, but they are really interesting and photograph so well. Separated Lashes are from Cake, and my favorite Hazel Eyes are from Miriel.

I went with some great jewelry pieces, starting with one of the amazing gifts from the Jewelry Expo, (Caroline's) Satin Ribbon Mermaid Cameo Necklace. It's a really sweet piece, and I would have bought it if it hadn't been free, I like it that much. Kayla Brushed Steel Earrings are from from (Second Mirage), which is back in business after a brief hiatus, which is something to really be glad about. Incredibly fantastic, though mostly hidden, are the phenomenal BAX Patent Black Ankle Boots. I have no idea how Bax Coen managed to made these look so amazingly real, like they wrap the ankle like a glove, but they are undeniably sexy and sharp. Also wearing my (Caroline's) Gimcrack Diamond Solitaire Ring, which I am happy to wear any time my hand is free.

Yes I am a dork when it comes to Halloween, it is the ultimate costume-a-thon, but when else can you get away with such campy fun? Happy Halloween everyone!

[Review] Seldom Blue Isabella Wedding Gown

Seldom Blue Review [July 30/08] 2

IndigoBlue Dagostino often drops review copies on me, as so many others do, and I wish there were enough hours in my day to blog them all. When I logged yesterday, she had sent me this lovely Isabella Wedding Gown from (SELDOM BLUE). I rarely blog anything Wedding related, I never had a wedding in-world and I never wore a wedding gown but for a photo competition and a "Runaway Brides & Grooms" Event at PIN UPS. I decided to take a look at the included texture, to see what the gown looked like, remembering the first Review I did of her Serenity Dress, and curious to see what this gown might look like. What made me decide to make the time to blog it is not just the dress, which is lovely, but the price. For a limited time, the (SELDOM BLUE) Isabella Wedding Gown is only $20LaLas. Seriously!

Seldom Blue Review [July 30/08] 4

It includes the Lace Veil, and a sweet golden Diamond Daisy Tiara. It also includes a pair of matching earring I opted not to wear. What I love best about IndigoBlue's work is the way she uses lace textures and has double layered skirts, which move really smoothly and have that added level of realism. She is also incredibly generous with her shoppers, often selling her beautiful creations at drastically reduced prices for limited periods of time, or giving out great freebies. The Isabella Wedding Dress is lovely, and worth the trip to get, as it can easily be worn sans veil and tiara as an evening gown. Check out the rest of (SELDOM BLUE)'s offerings while there, there is something for every taste.

Seldom Blue Review [July 30/08] 3

I really like to go simple when I wear a spectacular gown, and this one is no exception. I wore a double White Bead Strand from OPIUM Everyday, part of a double set, and perfect because it can be tinted endlessly. The Engagement ring is from Caroline's Jewelry, the Gimcrack Diamond Solitaire Ring is my constant companion. I am also wearing =DeLa*= Helia Pumps in Vanilla, which although hidden are a lovely shaped classic pump and a perfect match for this gown.

Seldom Blue Review [July 30/08] 1

I adore this Armidi Hair Symphony Twist Style, it is lovely and classic and such an elegant updo, with a softness to it. This lovely make-up is a bianca F. skin, the Bloom make-up is feminine and pretty, and with the pale gown and white hair, really has a lot of impact. Eyes are [Detour]'s Delta Eyes in Hazel.

Toga Party Done Sexy

Look Of The Day [July 14/2008] 1

Who doesn't love a Toga Party? Just the thought of one brings scenes from the classic National Lampoon's Animal House to mind, the crazy silly antics of John Belushi and company. I also remember my first Toga Party dance in high school, I was 16, stole a six-pack of my dads beer from the fridge, chugged 2 with some girlfriends, then upon leaving the dance managed to slam my friends toga sheet and her fingers in the car door. Ah, good times! I have had several Toga Party Events at PIN UPS, but I always wore the same clunky costume, cute but not in the least bit sexy. That was until Anessa dragged me to Cupcakes to pick up this adorable One Shoulder Mini Dress when Stiletto Moody was about to release her Gladiator Boots. Anessa & Graci (On Your Toes) got me into a pre-release pair for a photo for their blog, and the look was perfection. This may not specifically be a Toga, but it is close enough, and really a sweet little dress. It also comes in white, silver, and about half a dozen yummy soft pastel colours. I think it cost less then $100LaLas as most of the offerings from Cupcakes do, make sure you visit if you have never been.

What goes better with a Toga then Gladiator Boots, and any opportunity to wear these Stiletto Moody Gladiator Boots is one I am going to exploit. These are the All Colours version, with a touch for menu option and you can select any of the great combinations the boot is offered in. I love this Black with an almost copper/bronze lining. I decided to work with this Bronze colour in my accessories, pulling in *PERSONA*'s amazing Mighty Heart Collection Bracelets and Earrings. I love that there are so many bracelet options in the set, and the they all come for right or left hands, so you can mix them up a bit, here I am wearing the Mix Bangles on my left wrist, and the Bangles on my right. The Mighty Heart Earrings are really lovely too, I love the texturing on the puffed hearts. I am also wearing my Gimcrack Diamond Solitaire by Caroline's Jewelry.

Look Of The Day [July 14/2008] 2

This Divine up-do from Laqroki is a lovely pile of loops and twists, and reminds me of the hair styles worn in the Russell Crowe Gladiator Movie. I did mod this to tack on a second set of bangs though, because of my higher forehead, but it was a fairly easy job to do. This skin is bianca F.'s Drama, which has a really chiseled almost porcelain look to it, very lovely. Separated Lashes are from Cake, and Big Hazel Eyes from Miriel.

Midnight Blue Sexy

Look Of The Day [July 8/2008] 1

This look may just be the sexiest one I have ever put together. It all started with a "Best in Boots" event at PIN UPS, I love wearing boots with mini-dresses, so I dove into my "New Dresses" Folder (about 200 deep), and found this sexy silky ultra-mini Blue Dress from a little treasure called In The Light. I remember Anessa taking me there after we cleared out ::Bijou:: and Mirai, both on the same SIM as In The Light. This dress is sleek, sexy, and I love that the tiered layers are only on the front of the dress, so it adds interesting detail without making you look like a walking cupcake. The satin texture is really lovely. I pulled on my big time favorite sexy boots from Maitreya, the Dune Boot is so great, I suggest you get a pair in at least one of the colour that Onyx LeShelle offers them in, all wonderful. I thought my legs needed a little extra Va Va Va Voom, so I pulled on a pair of Over The Knee Fishnets from Celestial Studios LuLu. These stockings are awesome for their sheer range of colours and styles, all in 3 packs by colour, so much to choose from.

I went with a golden touch for accessories, starting with this absolutely stunning Marguerite Peacock Feather Necklace from ~Muse~. It is magnificent really, and has just the right number of sprayed gems over the feather, with so many lovely colours. I was thrilled to get a chance to wear these amazing bracelets from *PERSONA*, part of Myllie Writer's new Mighty Heart Collection. They are so amazingly real looking, the details are immaculate. I bought the fat pack of this set, and was incredibly tempted to buy the Silver and Red Gold sets as well. I continued with the natural gold accents with the Paper Couture Diamond Bee Ring, one of my all-time favorites. The Gold Shined Clutch is another great bag I picked up at *Muism*.

Look Of The Day [July 8/2008] 2

Perhaps the sexiest hair I have ever worn, and that is saying a lot with over 500 Styles in inventory, this amazing .+*Nacy*+. style from Mirai has volume, and a whole sex kitten vibe going on. It looks like a mussy out of bed style with it's great individual hair strand textures on the top layer. The skin is the Golden Oro Make-Up from bianca F., with it's sexy pale yet glossy lip. Lashes are Cake's amazing Separated Lashes, with Splatter Eyes from Big Booty Big Money's Watery Mud Eyes Collection.

The Missing Difference

Look Of The Day [July 1/2008] 1

Sometimes in Phil's Place, we forget to root for the little guy. The big mega-brands get a whole lot of attention, they can afford to send review copies to everyone, they have customer service reps who handle the day to day, and the money just rolls on in. Unfortunately, little shops, no matter how brilliant they are, face an uphill battle, particularly if their creators cannot spend full-time working on new product to feed our massive hunger for newness. D!FF=> was one of those little guys, and unfortunately, they closed up shop a few months ago. It is a shame, they had some really lovely items, and I have many of their things. The question is, do we blog items from sellers that are no more? I say yes, we do, because it serves to remind us all that we need to support small business in-world, as well as the big guys (& gals). The adorable Isometric Dress was one of my last purchases from D!FF=>, I love it's simple summer style, the lovely print and colour combination, and the fact that I didn't have to shell out brand name bucks for it.

I went for dark almost bronze gold accessories, inspired particularly by Violet Voltaire's brilliant No Love Lost Set in Bronze. Violet is a "Wizard of Primery" (I made that up, but it's true), I love her little cogs, bows, and other unique details that make her work so interesting and desirable. That and she doesn't charge insane prices for her stuff. I pulled in a freebie from ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~, this from the Velvet SIM Launch, a sweet candy coloured Gold Charm Bracelet. I think these are still available, along with matching earring on velvet, but on Retrology they have the same set in pretty pinks and baby blue. The bag is new from [Armidi Gisaci], the Focsani Bag in 24K Gold could carry a lot of my fashionista must haves. I pulled in a great Purple Showtime Shoe from (Next Step), a really fun fussy Stiletto Pump.

Look Of The Day [July 1/2008] 2

This hair was a freebie I nabbed at the opening of [The oBscene], they have some great skins too, but I really love this Ceres Style in Black. This is my favorite skin from bianca F., the Bloom make-up with it's pinky-purple shadow. Lashes are from [Detour], and it is clear I am seriously addicted to these Love Lashes. Eyes are Freak Fantasia's Glassy Mustard Green Hazel Beauties. Let's not let those Different and Unique places go missing again, remember to blog what you love, not just what everyone else is wearing.

Rockin' The Shockin' Pink!

Look Of The Day [June 11/2008] 1

I love clothes that are a look all on their own, something you can just throw some accessories behind and walk out the door. When the Starlust Motel had their opening, I gleefully shopped in almost every shop on the SIM. When I stumbled into the KUROTSUBAKI room, I was wowed. I hadn't been keeping tabs on their work for a bit, and when I saw this yummy shocking pink Tsunagi jumpsuit, it was an instant YES! Really simple, sexy sexy, and a really great summer look. I love the button detail on the pockets, the nicely finished sleeves, and the prim short legs, all very well textured. Now all I needed was some accessories to make the look my own.

I started with a belt, this *Muism* Double Zip Belt ads a lot of interest, and the flexi parts that extent past the waist are really interesting. I picked up this mega-customizable bag from Kimberly Casanova, the Girlfriend Bag in Zebra is scripted 9 ways, so you can select the colour of just about every part of the bag, there are thousands of possible combinations, but I stuck with pink and turquoise mainly. I knew that the perfect shoe for this look was the adorable Stiletto Moody Bitch Bootie in Pucci Pace Print. You can seriously match these shoes with dozens of outfits, the colours in them are really lovely. I was thrilled to finally pull on this adorable necklace from ::69::, who doesn't love the Love Necklace? Really nice use of Sculpties here. I also opted for this cute ::69:: Sprinkles Bracelet for a cute touch, it is a Freebie item, I believe still available in-store.

Look Of The Day [June 11/2008] 2

I wanted a wig with volume, so I went into my Mirai folder and pulled out this awesome huge .+*Luci*+. style in White. I can always count on Mirai for some serious bombshell hair, this one reminds me a lot of Brigitte Bardot. The skin is another new one from bianca F., a treat for me since I love green so very much, this Fata 2 Forest Make-Up really adds a nice dash of colour. Catwalk Lashes are from MMS, and these great deep luminous Splatter eyes are from Big Booty Big Money, which I believe is no longer in it's former ENVY location, but I have a hunch will turn up again soon. *wink*

Jumpsuit - *KUROTSUBAKI*, Tsunagi (Pink)

Forever in Blue Jeans

Look Of The Day [June 12/2008] 1

For all the fancy dresses and costumes I wear in-world, some of my favorite looks are all casual, and usually involve a great pair of jeans. This was particularly evident when Anessa and I hit the M*A*ii*K*I* opening, she was ogling all the fancy new duds (which are great), but I was drawn towards the ::DUTCH TOUCH:: Jeans in the back. The ::DUTCH TOUCH:: Low Waist Light Jeans are classics, really nice with optional prim calf parts, and jeans on the undies and pant layers. I also nabbed this Silky White Shirt while I was there, just the sort of classic white shirt that I wanted to have in my wardrobe.

I pulled in some great accessories from [Armidi Gisaci], including the great Healing Giraffe Bangles in Brown, and the casual Porta Corsico Bag in Gold and Grey colours. The shoes are also from [Armidi Gisaci], the fabulous Dhali Bow Platforms are must haves and the colour selection is really fantastic. This great casual necklace has a bohemian flare, another great piece from -EARTHTONES-, I love the new wooden accented pieces especially. They have a very Beach feel. I also put on some great dangle earrings from *Untone*, these Dragon Earrings come in 2 version with your purchase, this is the lower prim version. Dangles always look great with a short style.

Look Of The Day [June 12/2008] 2

This is pretty much my new favorite hairstyle, I keep returning to it again and again, the ..Marlys.. Slim Pixie is just the perfect Pixie Shag Cut, and comes in a dozen great shades. Very Sexy. I was trying out a new skin from bianca F., the bluebloom make-up is still to grow on me, and probably would have worked better had I remembered to wear lashes. Eyes are the fabulous [Detour] Delta Eyes in Hazel.

I Amma In Love

Look Of The Day [July 6/2008] 1

Neferia Abel and her husband Brumm have been working tirelessly on rebuilding the Ivalde SIM over the past week. Nef was running out of prims, producing as much as she does week after week, I can see how that could happen. When I spoke to her last week about joining the Retrology Sidewalk Sale, she showed me the new dresses she was releasing today when her shop re-opened. The minute I saw the image of this precious Amma Dress in Pink, I went Oooh and Ahh, and the next thing I knew, Nef had dropped it on me. I wanted to blog it immediately, because it is so divinely lovely, but I held off until it was on sale in her shop. Today is that day, Ivalde has re-opened, the Build is spectacular, so I proudly present to you one of my favorite dresses perhaps of all time, Amma. I love the careful shading on the bodice, that makes the satiny texture look like it is reflecting light, I love the broomstick pleated skirts, it is a simply lovely dress, perfect for a Summer Night Wedding, or a Special Party.

If someone asked me what my favorite gemstone was, I would say none-of-the-above, for it is a Tahitian Pearl that I adore, preferably in a silver or white gold setting. Muse has some deliciously dark pearls, and I love this simple pair of Claris Black Pearl earrings. I have had this amazing triple strand of pearls from Muse for some time, the Celine Pearl Necklace it very formal, but I think it works well here as the rest of the look is so understated. I pulled in a simple Black Pearl Cuff from Frangipani Designs, and am wearing my Gimcrack Diamond Ring from Caroline's Jewelry. For an evening out, a sweet little evening bag, like this Lace Drawstring Handbag from (Shiny Things) is just perfection. A delicate sandal from INSOLENCE is perfect for a dressy summer look, the April Sandal in Pink is really delicate, with lovely sculptie work.

Look Of The Day [July 6/2008] 2

This lovely Lain Hair, from Philotic Energy was something I nabbed on my last trip there. I have been gravitating towards shorter styles lately, but this long style was a must have. I love the shaggy bangs, and the headband can be touch tinted to any one of dozens of colours, making it incredibly wearable. Skin is from bianca F.'s fata line, I love the dramatic longeyes make-up, perfect for a night out, and the pale lip is very soft and lets the eyes to all the talking. Lashes are [Detour] Love Lashes, and eyes are from Freak Fantasia.

Candy Girl...

Look Of The Day [June 20/2008] 1

Bubble Gum colours and candy cuteness, this look is all about bright fun flashy childhood playfulness. When I first spied this adorable dress from AOHARU, it was on my sister Anessa, and I knew I wanted one too, but just like in RL, we never get the same colour, so I opted for this brilliant Purple in the aptly named Girly Twins Dress. The sculpted pockets on the hips are so cute, making in much more then just a plain mini-dress. I opted to pair it with some leggings, and my favorites by a mile are these Shiny Magic Pants from Fashionably Dead. They are a silver spandex like legging, that can be tinted to hundreds of unique colours to match anything, fully copy & mod do you can save your favorites. I did mine a brilliant girly pink, but if you want a great pair of leggings that will take you the distance, these are must haves!

When ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~ Introduced the Jelly Tots Collection, I nabbed the 50% OFF fatpack, netting me the Brights, Muted, and Greyscale version of this adorable necklace, earring, and bracelets set (also can be purchased individually). All of the pieces come in a box with Silver, Gold, and Copper version, it is literally dozens of options. This is the Brights set in my favorite Silver settings, what makes them addictive as candy is the fact that when you click on them, the colours all shuffle randomly to get you unique combinations each time. Yummeh! I also was looking for the perfect time to pull in my Tasty Bag from Paper Couture. Tasty... Candy... I am on a roll! The shoes are the adorable Laque in Aqua from Storm Schmooz, a great solid pump with a nice shape and a welcome pop of colour.

Look Of The Day [June 20/2008] 2

I love quirky cute hair, and this Ava style from Dernier Cri is so sweet, choosing a colour is the only difficulty with hair from -DC-, as the hud makes it awfully tempting to experiment with all the great shades. These Flamenco Trash Lashes from Canimal are so fabulous and girly, with black and hot Pink lashed together, they are fluttery and fun. Skin is the pixie faced Acrilik from bianca F., and Hazel Delta Eyes from [Detour] complete my look. I think my 6 year old niece would go nutty for this one, it was fun to be all sweet and girly for a change.

Mini-Dress – AOHARU, AOHARU_BT_TwinsGirlyDress (Purple)

KISS - Keep It Simple Style

Look Of The Day [June 18/2008] 1

Every now and again, I turn my back on all the high-fash stuff, and go for a simple everyday look, something that I would actually wear in RL. I am a jeans addict, one of my very first posts was a "What's In My Closet - Them Jeans" post, where I laid my addiction out for all to see. I counted 135 pairs back in December of 2007, and there were some I could not even fit into the pictures nicely, so I left them out. Since then, I have probably bought another 40 pair, maybe more. This pair, from Last Call, was the last purchase I made before Last Call was no more. I am so glad I got them, there are really something, and a great illustration of what made Last Call and Ginny Talamasca & Co. so amazing. I am sorry to say they are no longer available, but I do treasure them.

The rest of the look flowed easily for me, a great T-Shirt from Tres Blah!, this one is Stripy Goodness in Purple, is wonderful for it's calculated simplicity. A belt from *KUROTSUBAKI*, one of my newer favorites, is adorable, with it's Peace Sign Hippie kitsch vibe. A great bag from Bare Rose Tokyo Couture, The Diana Bag, echoes the Blues in the jeans nicely. (Shiny Things) provides some of the best flats on the Grid, and gave me some adorable casual options with these Brocattos Flats. Necklace and Bracelet, purchased separately, are also from (Shiny Things). These Nico pieces are so nicely detailed, the textures are amazing on the beads.

Look Of The Day [June 18/2008] 2

I have had this adorable Daisy braided style from [Curio] for ages, and since I buy new hair on a weekly basis, I sometimes forget to pull out some of my favorites from the past. The lovely flex on the braids is so cute, I love the bangs too, very sweet. Skin is from bianca F., called Drama, another make-up I love. Eyes are from [Detour], and Lashes from MMS.

I Like Green Peas!

Look Of The Day [June 23/2008] 1

If you've never read my blog, you will be thrilled to learn that green is indeed my favorite colour. If you have, then you know this already, so no explanation is needed. Last night Melatonin Hax of *Thimbles* sent out a notice over the I <3 The Starlust Group (you gotta get in it, good times!) that she had released a new dress, the image attached was of this lovely frothy mini-dress, and since she sent it out the image of the green dress (it comes in 4 great colours) she "Had Me At Hello!". With the sweet yet cryptic name of Tiger Lily Dress, this Green Pea colour is by far my favorite. Simply adorable, like most of the offerings at *Thimbles*, and so much fun.

Accessorizing with green is a breeze for me, so I choose these fabulous Starley Pumps from ETD Shoes. The Funky Lime version has just about every shade of green imaginable in it, really a great sculpted shoe. I have come to realize that almost all my favorite jewelry comes from the same place, -EARTHTONES-. A stop there yesterday netted me a new pile of fabulous, these great Circles Earrings in Black with Teardrop Crystals you can colour change on two channels to customize the look. Also from -EARTHTONES- is this Triple Layer Necklace which can be similarly colour customized, really a nice funky little piece. The silver ring has a solitaire crystal that can be change into any number of colours as well, I was in custom tint heaven. Bangles from ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~ completed my look, two clicks and I had Black bases and Peridot Gems, yay for scripted Jewelry!

Look Of The Day [June 23/2008] 2

Black Lace Baby Doll

Look Of The Day [June 6/2008] 1

I have been sitting on this adorable post for about a week, because the day I was going to blog it, someone else did too. So to put it back into the spotlight, this is perhaps my favorite baby-doll dress ever. That is saying a lot, since I own over 100 (don't ask), but look at the brilliance of this dress. AOHARU seems to have popped on the scene overnight, and what started with my sister teleporting me to a lucky chair to win an ice-cream cone helmet, has turned into a bit of an addiction. This Flower Layer Dress is so well done, the lace textured layers are so floaty and soft looking, the print on the lace lines up perfectly, that is real skill, and it is so feminine, yet not at all little girl in this striking Black.

I kept with the floral motif, bringing in this great Farfelu Bag from Paper Couture, which is so lovely, feminine, and fresh. The delicate jewelry are new favorite from *PERSONA*, I love Rose or Red Gold, and this Byte Dreams Collection is so lovely. Sold Separately, these items also come in Yellow and White gold, and if they are any indication of what Myllie Writer has in store for us in Accessories, I am breathless with anticipation. I opted for a big chunky shoe, and love these Stiletto Moody O Wedge Platforms, here in Black. I think the big shoe adds a lot of interest when there is so much bare leg to be seen. Also wearing my Gimcrack Solitaire from Caroline's Jewelry.

Look Of The Day [June 6/2008] 2

I am really enjoying hair from Dernier Cri at the moment, and the Demos are so fun I am stretching my boundaries with hair colour a bit. The Lara up-do is lovely, lose and relaxed, and very sexy. The skin is one of my new favorite from bianca F., the Bloom Make-Up has the most lovely purple and pink eye-shadow, and such a lovely pout lip. Bedroom Lashes are from Cake, and eyes from Freak Fantasia.

Easy, Breezy, Lemon Squeezy

Look Of The Day [June 10/2008] 1

Anyone who has seen my blog before knows I love colour, all colours, but I am most often drawn to bright greens, oranges, and yellows. Call me citrus happy, but when Marleen Vaughn of ..Marlys.. had a sale recently, the minute I saw this adorable Chalice Fruit Cup Dress in Lemon, I had to grab it off the rack. Marleen is a riot, if you have ever seen one of her notices to FashCon, it is absolutely brilliant (snippet's of dramatic conversations out of context), and her clothes and hair are so cleverly conceived. There is a wonderful continuity in her work, and there is something for everyone from casual to party wear. A vintage nod, a clever presentation, really worth a look.

So sticking with a lemon wedge, literally, I cam upon these adorable Heart Wedge Sandals in Yellow from J's. The are the most brilliant shoes, not just because they match the dress so well, but because they have so many extras. They come in about 10 luscious colours, you can change the texture from dotted to plain, add toe rings, charms, adornments, and anklets, all with a click. J's Shoes is a must see... I thank Anessa for the tip off, wait till you see the shoes with the Toes! I also added Canimal's Jpop Can Earrings in Lemon, cute little Soda Cans. The Beaded Purse picks up on the yellow and turquoise so nicely, it is from Pampered Princess, and there are some adorable summer clothes and purses in shop. I picked up the heart charms on the shoes in this adorable Chunky Heart Necklace from Miam Miam, and made good use of some ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~ Gem Jelly Donut Bangles that have touch scripts to change the Bangle and Gem colours.

Look Of The Day [June 10/2008] 2

Essentials are the adorable Flamenco Trash Essence Lashes from Canimal in Pink, that look brilliant with this bianca F. Bloom skin with eye make-up in purple and pink tones. Hair is from AOHARU HAIR, called Lily, and it did require a little prim by prim adjustment to get the right fit, but is adorable and well worth the time. Eyes are Splatter from BBBM's Watery Eyes Mud Set.

Hide & Seek

Look Of The Day [June 7/2000] 1

I don't find buckers naked sexy, I don't mean tasteful nudes, I mean full on in your face "here's my bits"! To me, sexy is more about what you hide then what you show, and hiding a lot and showing a little is sometimes the most tempting of looks. This outfit is all about showing a little, hiding a little, and being a total Fashion Diva. Let's start at the top with this Vanessa Hair from MMS in Pitch Black. A previous group gift, what I like about it is that it let's me peek out from behind sleek straight pieces. This fantastic skin from bianca. F is called Mask quite appropriately, with a sweep of smokey shadow over the bridge of the nose, it adds drama and artistry. Eyes are Freak Fantasia's Glassy Mustard Green, framed by [Detour] Love Lashes.

Hiding a little, and revealing just enough with sexy glimpses of the soft sides of the torso and smooth shoulders is this stunning Le Fashionable Python outfit from [MG Fashion]. I love a hot little mini-skirt, that lets a whole lot of leg show, particularly when your legs are clad in Stiletto Moody's NEW Gladiator Boot. I had a chance to model these when they were beta versions, and wore them in this month's issue of Vain Inc. Magazine and I was patiently waiting for them to be mine. Stiletto dropped a pair on me after release, and I could not be more thrilled with them. They are so well done, textures are lovely, and the sculpted pieces are used ingeniously to wrap and caress the leg, drawing the eye up the leg with delicious cut-outs revealing small glimpses of soft smooth skin. If I didn't have to blog and therefore change my outfits on a daily basis, I might be caught wearing them every day.

Look Of The Day [June 7/2000] 2

Accessories are sleek and minimal, with these ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~ Copper Coloured Sculpted Sugar Bangles, which I touch scripted to Onyx Gems. I am wearing the Diamonde. Gillian Ring, that I once again tinted, this time to a copper orange colour, and think it goes perfectly with this look. Finally, this great simple clutch served me well on my trip to the RFL Fashion Expo 2008, where I spent as much as I possibly could. It is the PV Portfeuille ‘Oceane’ Black by Precious Vukovic, but I was unable to find a current in-world location.

So what have we learned? If you are seeking attention, hide a little skin.

Spice Up Your Life

Look Of The Day [June 1/2000] 1

Oh Shoes, How I Love Thee! When my sister Anessa told me that ETD had some great new shoes, I was eager to see. Elika's buckle boots were the first prim shoes I owned (ignoring a pink blingy platform error, I was such a noob!), and I have been a fan ever since. Her new releases are brilliant, there is no other word. The shape of these Starley Pumps is so lovely, I got it in at least 4 different colour or print options, and I was spoiled for choice really. But the one I HAD to have, this warm orange Spice colour. I didn't know if I would ever find the dress to wear with them, but I wanted them.

Anessa and I power shop like maniacs when we can finally hit the shops together. After hitting ETD, Anessa and I moved on to <3 Cupcakes to grab up the dozens of free and fabulous dresses, but when I saw this Tangerine Mini Dress in the New Releases section, I was over the moon! That's the dress to go with the shoes! I love this sexy minidress, and since this is the summer of legs (so says I), I showed of my stems in style. I stayed with the warm tones, opting to wear my Gold Burlington Handbag from Adam n Eve. I love a wee bit of kitsch, and these huge earring from (Yummy), the Together Earrings, look very glam from afar, but close up are adorable little Japanese dolls. I pulled in some lovely bangles from /artilleri/ that Antie put out in the Mother's Day Rose Hunt on Retrology, I am not sure if she sells them in her shop, but she should! The Wooden Bangles are touch scripted to change wood colour textures. how awesome is that? Also wearing my Caroline's Gimcrack Diamond Solitaire.

Look Of The Day [June 1/2000] 2

This hair is a new release from *Muism*, Cindy, and I am seriously Jonesing for more releases in their hair department (as well as pretty much everything else they make to be honest). The Skin is from bianca F., one of my favorites, the Longeyes make-up is so dramatic. Speaking of bianca F., her new sim *Velvet* opened to the public yesterday, and she has some great freebies (including a skin) hidden around the SIM in big red hearts, easy to find, and there are some great goodies out for you to grab! Eyes are from Freak Fantasia, Love Lashes by [Detour].

Confessions of a Tacky Tourist...

Look Of The Day [May 28/2000] 1

I just couldn't do it! We recently had a Tacky Tourists Event @ PIN UPS, and I tried really hard to be tacky! I thought to myself, go for clashing colours, go for huge accessories, be all over the map... and you know what? Everyone said I looked "Cute". Oh well, can't fight it... I love this look! It all started on my last trip to [Detour], when I picked up this great Distressed Denim Mini Skirt. It comes in about a dozen colours, but this green (No. 4) was the one that caught my eye! Next stop, =DeLa*=, where I heard rumor that they did more then just shooz! I loved this "Jessie" Tank Top in Orange, and it came with this fabulous Turquoise Scarf too. I need more scarves I think!

Keeping with =DeLa*=, these fabulous "Namid" Sandals in Green, with a script change option for the stones, I set this pair to Amber to mirror the Orange in my top. Seriously addicted to the new jewelry at ::69::, I went with these fabulous chunky Pyramid Bracelets in Green and Brown. Can I just say that if there is a bangle out there I don't already own, then I gotta get it! There is nothing hotter this summer! A wooden ring with Gold Beads from Caroline's Jewelry is a nice beach touch. Big Reptile Sunglasses in Orange from /artilleri/, I always fatpack Antie's eye wear, and I am never sorry! Can we talk kitsch for a moment here? How great is this giant Raffia Tote from Mirrors & Mirai Style? Called simply the Kago Bag, it is hilarious, with a touch script to dispense the items inside, including a can of chips! Yummeh!

Look Of The Day [May 28/2000] 2

Mirai is the place for Big Bold & Fabulous Hair, this Mash Style is so fun, I swear I intended to look like some Snow Bird Grandma in Florida, but it is just too cute! Wearing bianca F.'s Fata Skin in Ivory - Oro make-up, love it. Hidden eyes are from Muriel, but still worth mentioning!

A Little Baby Phat

Look Of The Day [May 30/2000] 1

It all started when my sister Anessa dropped a folder labeled "Thought You Might Like This" on me. Inside... two other folders, marked [P/a] RUSH. I was clueless, so I dug into them, and found this awesomely huge Necklace and Earrings from [PERTURB/ation]. I felt like Kimora Lee Simmons meets Lil' Kim. And I had to go for the gold. The necklace and earrings are brilliant bright gold, set with diamonds and not a Particle BLING in sight! I matched them up with a Gold Summer Weave Belt from Caroline's Jewelry, and my (Yummy) Found Hearts Gold Bracelet, which I script changed to a black band. I tinted up one of Valena Glushenko's rings from Diamonde., this one called Mariya. The ring came with a skin too (not worn), both for just $50LaLas!

To let the gold speak for itself, I went with this Black Denim Cotton Jumpsuit from Armidi Everyday, which is Feline Sexy and Slinky, and lets those lovely lady lumps and humps do the talking. I pulled on some sleek boots, the fabu Maitreya Dune Boots in Black. Oh How I Love Them! I also found another great bag at Bare Rose Couture, and seriously you have to go see them, this one is called simply Suede Black Bag, but comes in 2 styles (Fringe and Non-Fringe) and also 3 Hold Positions (Arm, Hand, Shoulder). It is 6 bags in one, and so inexpensive! Bare Rose does so many wonderful bags, and they just released a few more this past week.

Look Of The Day [May 30/2000] 2

For Big Schmexy Hair, I opted for this Mirai Pani Style in Black. I am addicted to the seriously huge and dramatic styles at Mirai lately. I went with a favorite skin, this bianca F. *bf* Fata Acrilik skin in Ivory tone, which is so unique, love the daubs of silver shadow on the inner eye crease, it really give a wide eyed effect, the lip colour is also very luscious. Eyes and Lashes are both from [Detour]. I am definitely feeling Pretty, Hot, and Tempting in this look.

Aubergine Is The Thing!

Look Of The Day [May 25/2008 (2)] 1

There are a lot of different purples out there in this big colourful world, but my very favorite of all is Aubergine (Eggplant). An almost inky dark purple, it is so classy and when I see it, I grab it. So when [MG Fashion] released this fabulous Rita II Outfit this week, I went to check it out, and try as I might, I simply could not resist the tug of the Eggplant version. (That almost sounds dirty.) I love the sculpted sleeves, collar, and shorts cuffs (complete with loops to hold them up). I think this set could be dressed up dozens of ways, but my take was a little bit of funky street.

The Hair is the swish Amro in Black from Mirai. I am noticing that lately when I shop at one hair seller, I tend to wear all the new styles I just grabbed up before moving on to the dozens of other ones in my NEW folder. Cake's lush Bedroom Lashes highlight brilliant Hazel eyes from Miriel. This skin is the lovely Bloom from bianca F.'s Fata Line.

Look Of The Day [May 25/2008 (2)] 2

I started layering the accessories with this fab fay Courtney Buckled Belt in Black Leather from Armidi Gisaci. I am so addicted to belts lately, but am careful not to just throw them onto everything. I am wearing Diamonde. Danger Earrings for some flash, love these funky silver open hoops. I layered on the bracelets, these amazing huge stacks are from Bebe, called the Sazerac Bangles in Black. So much to look at, love em. I decided to go delicate on a necklace, with this one, a gift from Draco that I have always loved. It is from Neptune's Kiss, and is just a lovely Silver and Pearl with Diamonds necklace, what you can't see is that the texture on the pearl actually is moving, so it almost looks like a small galaxy spinning away. The boots are also Armidi Gisaci, and I decided to stay with Silver in these cute Oxford Leather Ankle Boots. Last but not least, my Gimcrack Solitaire from Caroline's. With Aubergine, it's so easy to find great accessories to match, but I love silver and black with it.

Eyes – Miriel, Hazel Eyes (Big)

Silk Near Midnight

Look Of The Day [May 24/2008] 1

[MG Fashion] is one of those shops that I have loved since my sister Anessa (aka. The Sleuth) discovered it out when it first opened. I love bright colour, I love having a million delicious choices, and I love watching a shop grow from a small collection, to a reliable and consistent fashion house, where I always find something I love. On a visit a few weeks back, I picked up this fabulous Silver Lake at Midnight set from The Silk Collection. I was a stand-out, not the usual thing I was expecting from [MG Fashion], just the one colour choice, this fabulous charcoal grey, and it is just so soft looking, with a really brilliant sculpted leg. It includes the black tube top, the vest, and the pants in 2 styles.

I decided to go edgy with it, opting for some wild hair from Mirai, this Tori style is so fun. I actually meant to buy it in white, but I think a packaging issue delivered it to me labeled as white but it was a dark blond, so I tinted it black. I opted for the sexy Double Peacock Skin from bianca F.'s Fata line, for some real eye drama, and added Cake's Bedroom Lashes for some added sex appeal. Eyes are Miriel's Big Hazel Eyes, total favorites for the lovely tones of brown and green in the iris.

Look Of The Day [May 24/2008] 2

I had been waiting for a chance to wear these fabulous Black Tesla Athena Open Toed Stiletto Boots, they are damn sexy and so well made. I went with a simple Key Stud Earring from ::M-C-H::, a great Freebie I picked up a few months ago. For a necklace, I chose this layered Tear Drop Chain Necklace from Swallowtail. I have to say I am never disappointed with my purchases from Swallowtail, I want everything in the store and have to practice some serious restraint when shopping there. I decided this was the kind of look that could go really couture chic, so I added some Davenport Weathered Velvet Gloves from Argyle, and a fabulous bag from Paper Couture whose purses are a must have for the sheer range of fabulous colour and style options, as well as their more then easy on the wallet prices. This is one fabulous Silky look, perfect for club hopping near midnight.

Eyes – Miriel, Hazel Eyes (Big)
Lashes – Cake, Bedroom Lashes

Bronzed Diva

Look Of The Day [May 21/2008] 1

I am not someone who tans in RL, I had a bad burn when I was 16 (stupid me trying to get a one day Tan to show my Friends I was indeed in Florida for Spring Break). Since then, I have stayed away, and am pale as a ghost most of the time. In-world, I have never gotten a tanned or bronzed skin, it never occurred to me that I could. When I saw this Riding swimsuit at :bijou:, I wanted it bad. When I got home and put it on, lets just say my pale skin and this suit made me look mostly naked. Great planning Kets! Well, thank g-d that Payton Heron sent me some review skins from bianca F., and one of them was this delicious Fata Sahara Bronze tone, I felt every bit the goddess in this skin, no sunburns, and boy did the bathing suit look every bit as brilliant as I had hoped.

I felt like a total Diva in this look, like one of those uber rich trophy wives who sits in the sun all day sipping Mohitos and browsing Vogue Magazine while calling her stylist with a shopping list while flipping pages. The hair is a brilliant cut from ETD, the Roxie is a perfect combination of flexi and non-flexi pieces, and looks super chic and still has all the edge I love. No one does that look better then Elika. Also wearing some sultry Love Lashes from [Detour] and some glossy eyes from Freak Fantasia.

Look Of The Day [May 21/2008] 2

The shoes are the brilliant Venus Sandals from *HUB*, and I think I did well choosing this amazing golden Sand colour. They look great against tanned skin, and pretty much can work with any look this season. I am wearing the Gillian Ring from Diamonde., which actually was a purple and red toned silver ring, but I tinted it a golden yellow to get this amazingly perfect match to the suit. Diamonde. has some amazing stuff, made better by the fact that you can get some of Valena Glushenko's Another Skin Mods with your purchase, this ring and the Gillian Skin (not worn) were a ridiculously awesome $50LaLas. The Long Onyx Necklace and Gold Bracelet Stack are from .+*aya V.*+., great modern accessories, and great prices too. Hidden but still awesome are the Tunnel Multi Set Earrings from Drifting Sands, cover your ear in piercings, tunnels and a cuff with a single attachment point used, love that.
