Floating on a Cloud of Pink

This is one of those gowns that once on you feel like a princess and everything changes, your posture, the way you move, how you hold yourself. I love this gown. It's so elegant, and texturally interesting, the color is said to be pink but I would call it more of a blush that leans to peachy pink. I know this pic doesn't highlight the front of the gown and if I wasn't so tired from this week I would have done a front shot too but well I got carried away working on this photo and now I really need some rest, but trust me, it's a beautiful gown and one of my new favorites.

Brigitte Gown

This is a quick post on a gown I bought last night. I fell in love with this as soon as I got the notice from my BOSL magazine readers group and rushed to My Precious by Agnes Finney to purchase it. If you join the VIP group you get a discount on the gown to boot! This is so "my style" and it's really a beautiful gown. The lace top and ribbon accent is just gorgeous. I am only showing one version, because...drum roll please....It comes in different versions all in one package! There is the short pencil skirt, long column skirt, with train and without, the top has an optional ruffle bottom and you can mix and match as you choose. I love versitility! My skin is TULI's Jade and jewelry is Paper Couture and available on xstreetsl.com. Gee I think I might start humming "I Feel Pretty".

Summer vacation and looking to go shopping in style. The artilleri black tank and sunglasses a couple of my favorite wardrobe staples, and the COCO pumpkin pants are sassy and cute but still fashionable, toss on Lelutka's Audrey hat and Start a Riot necklace with my Maitreya Gold Shanti sandals, grab my Lelutka bag and I am off to burn up my credit card in the shopping district of my fav vacation spot!

Newbie Challenge

Gogo issued this challenge:

http://juicybomb.com/2010/07/04/newbie-style-challenge/

I decided to give it a shot, I went for a dressed up version. First stop was Miel for the group gift a really cute hair with a scripted head band that has multiple colors, a bonus for those on a shoestring budget as it will go with more than one outfit. Next stop skin, I wanted a good quality skin, and lucky for me ORTA's group gift of a lovely dress and accessories that we have seen on the feed lately comes with a wonderful Lelutka skin. ICING has always got really sweet dresses for those on a tight budget, there are usually three available and all are free and pretty. (If you are keeping track I have 4 dresses at this point, one complete with accessories) I wanted to create a more cocktail version so I headed to COCO who has several group gifts and picked up the ruffle lace skirt, this worked great to make my look more of a cocktail version. Shoes were easy, Maitreya's group gift for subscribing is 15 pairs of colorful pumps! Jewelry, JCNY has a Newb gift bag with earrings (please be sure to turn off the bling!). In my searching there are many many quality creators that offer gifts you just have to search them out. If you don't have the lindens to purchase the look you want, you don't have to beg for lindens, find a person who's look you like and just ask, who are their favorite creators and does that creator offer free or group gifts, most will be happy to share the information. One last thing, Dove Swanson of LAP offers a free AO for newbies so you can lose that awkward walk! All in all I am happy with my finds and fear not, you can look great on a shoestring budget!

Lelutka Summer Top

Little post on one of the Lelutka summer releases. I bought this top: [LeLutka]-VALLEDUPAR Top in black, on a whim, and it sat for a bit in my inventory but I was rushing to get some more shopping done and threw on my *COCO* AnklePants inWhite and needed something quick to add as my top because well lets face it, no shirt, no shoes, no service is in fact a good idea. So I quickly opened up the bag it came in after wearing it which is nice since I don't have ANY prims left at home to be opening things and I was all set! I think I may need it in more colors! Definitely a new fav!

PXL's Candy

Ran by PXL today to check out Hart's new skin called Candy and it is appropriately named as this is a sweet skin, I love it! I have a nice collection of various skins and I am thrilled to be adding this one to the collection, I am sure I will be adding more makeup's of this skin very soon! Beautiful work Hart!
