Mod and Funky!

I am so in love with the AVEDA Institute line of Hair Styles from ETD, I think I own them all in at least one colour if not more. This crop is so chic! The minute I spotted this Hip Scarf from Cream Shop, I simply had to have it, and at the time had no idea how to wear it. I decided to let it do the talking, pairing it with understated cords and this great cropped jacket from Thimbles. I am loving Thimbles for their creative designs and their incredibly inexpensive pricing. You can get a lot for just a few lindens. This jacket comes with two collar options, a rolled neck and a turtleneck version. Love options like that so you can really personalize your look.

A Brilliant Coat to Heat Things Up!

For the "Winter Wonderland" Event, I went with this fabulous coat I picked up at Spics & Sugar in Koenji. I love the Asymmetrical Skirts, the sculpted collar, and the details on it. I decided to wear it more like a dress, and added a pair of tights from Cream Shop. As there were no glitches, I quickly made a pair in grey to match. These boots from L&E were a perfect match. This Toque and Hair Combo from 141 BONBON was too cute to resist, love the little Pompom on Top. I did mod the jacket to remove the Cross from the top of the chain on the collar, but that is a personal preference of mine, I show both looks below. Note: If you want to do similar Mods, Remember to MAKE A COPY before preceding... there are a lot of Tiny Prims to fiddle with here.

Bag of Tricks!

For the "Circus & Sideshow" Event at PIN UPS, Draco picked out this look for me from Draconic Kiss. They have amazingly detailed costumes, and this cross between Magician, Ring Master, and Show Girl is fabulously fun. The little glint of Latex sexes it up a bit. It did come with matching boots, but they weren't really doing it for me, so I switched in my Luna Viola Desert Boots which come in a pack with a Brown or Black Accented Version. Here I am wearing the Black Accent, and then I used the HUD scripted colour change option to make the main boot white!

Cuddly in Armidi

When you fall in love, it should be completely. I am completely in love with this Hibiscus coloured sweater from Armidi. I have seen in on so many people, and it always looks fantastic. Add the the fact that it comes in about 15 colours, you simply cant lose. I love the sculptie cowl neck and the shading on the back is perfection. Teamed with some grey slacks, a clean, classy, everyday look.

Something Different

I wanted to play a little, so I dove into those *NEW* Item folders of mine and came up with this fab trench coat from LeeZu Baxter. I love her stuff, and her new items are so fantastical. I couldn't really find a top to wear under it, so went a little risque to let the jacket speak for itself. I particularly love the detail on the back. Paired with some Cargos from *REDGRAVE*, and these great new ankle boots from Armidi, I turned up the heat by trying on the Group Gift TaP Skin. I don't usually play with my skins, but heck, it was free, so why not. I was surprised actually, since most skins don't look right on my shape, and I am of the "Don't Tinker" mind when it comes to my shape. Teamed with this hair by /Milk/, I think I came up with a pretty High Fashion look.

It's So Easy Being Green

When I saw this MG Fashion jacket blogged by Deux Looks, I knew I simply had to get one. What I did not anticipate was the sheer range of colours! I had at least 5 different shades of green to choose from, but opted for this one after much temptation to but the fatpack. It is a really well made garment, and just a classic I know I will wear season after season. Paired up with a pair of *REDGRAVE* Cargos and Boots, I also threw in this fab Fashionably Dead Sweater (Comes in a pack of two colours) for that "True To The Season" Look.
