Kermit was wrong...

Kermit the frog was wrong. He said it's not easy being green but I disagree. Ghee has made it easy to be green thanks to the current round of Color Me Project. This outfit is just elegant and ladylike. The hat, dress, clutch and shoes are all from Ghee and they all come with a hud so it's not just one shade of green to choose from but multiple shades of green from deep emerald to a light celery and all are lovely. The draped collar and buttons at the waist are lovely details that add to the elegance of this dress and the hat is adjustable size wise bit for me fit beautifully right out of the box. If you are feeling a retro and chic this is the dress for you.

Lost in the Blue

I have been in the midst of traveling between home and out of town because RL has needed a lot of my attention and will continue to for the foreseen future but when I get a moment to escape into SL and throw an outfit together I will try to blog it for you. Today I bring you the blues, well a shade of blue, tranquil, maybe a little sad, but calm and sedate. The dress is from Glam Affair and is available at Uber's rustic round. The sandals from Fri.day worked out very well although I did edit them a tad darker to compliment the dress more, love the fact these work with my Maitreya feet. I added the cuff from MUKA and it's edited as well from the blue setting on the hud to more closely match the dress. I really like this newer hair from Vanity, it's a pretty updo with a couple of loose whisps to make it not be too stiff and severe. I am sorry I am not more descriptive but I am pressed for time and this lovely dress almost speaks for itself.

Pristine

Hi all, a quick post as I am still very busy in RL with an ill family member but I wanted to get this post in because I really liked the shoes and dress from the Kustom9 event. The Gali by soy. dress is super modern and simple but still offers a lot of minimalist style. It doesn't call for overdone jewelry or hair and the Gali by soy. sunglasses pair beautifully with it. The shoes are AMAZING from Glamistry and so very cool with an spear like heel and platform that will have all eyes on your sexy legs and feet. The shoes as with most Glamistry shoes have a multitude of color combination choices when you buy all the colors. Here I have them in all white to compliment this ensemble but I promise you the color choices/combinations are many and all look fabulous! These shoes pretty much say feminine and fierce! Hurry over to Kustom9 get these items and many more items as this round as always  has some super awesome offerings!

Prepared for Some Sun

It's hot here and the best place to cool off is in or near the water, like sailing or sitting on the dock with your feet in the water, whatever is the most relaxing is always a good choice. The one thing that really matters? Are you fashionably prepared for whatever you choose? I think my lying on the deck of the sail boat fingers in the water and feeling the breeze as my captain steers us out to deep water outfit is on point. I have my A Piece of Chic top/cover up to protect from too much sun, #187# flip flops and a gold Charme hourglass necklace will keep me cool and stylish and all these items can be found at Color Me Project Summer colors round, so yay for some one stop shopping! My tote bag I grabbed off MP and it's from TokiD so I can throw all my sun essentials in and I am good to go!

Far From Neutral

Another day, another outfit! This dress is called Mia and its from VG by Victoria Grau and it makes me feel very sassy. It oozes attitude and it comes in various versions, metallic (which I am wearing), leather and denim all in neutral shades of beige which is the theme for this round. Beige is a neutral color but it's far from being neutral, this dress doesn't say middle of the road it says here I am dammit! Kim Kardashian-West despite whether you like her or not is an expert at taking neutral tones to a whole new level of sexy and shapely. This dress does the same the same and with the Mila sandals from A Piece of Chic you can stalk into the room and command attention. It won't take much to complete the outfit, some killer jewelry like this set from Chop Zuey and long loose wavy hair you can toss and peer out from by Truth will be plenty to keep you looking pulled together. To complete the neutral theme, take your room to the next level and with curtains from Icons of Style, and a great little furniture set featuring some nice beanbags with a ton of poses for men and women that can be picked up at a steal at CMP!

With a Cherry on Top

I mentioned in my previous post I had stopped into Collarbor88 and would be showing you a few things I purchased there and true to my word I am doing just that. I really like this round at 88 because it's bright, cheerful and summery. I have been feeling a little blue and the bright colors are a good pick me up. I was drawn to the pinkish watermelon color this round and I really like the top and skirt from fashionably dead. The top is fun and has a little sex appeal with its tied front and flash of cleavage. The skirt reminds me of a tropical watercolor painting and is a great length, not too short and not too long, perfect for summer sandals or flats. I used the very cute Decoy wedges I also bought at 88 as well as the Exile hair I purchased there for this post. Tres blah Sunglasses match perfectly and a sweet ice cream cone by Imeka available at...you guessed it, Collabor88. The ice cream cone comes in 5 "flavors" and all have a cherry on top :-)

Beige Isn't Boring

Color Me Project is in its newest round, this time the color is beige and a lot of you may think that could be a bit boring but the designers have pulled it off really well. There is nothing boring about beigehere, it can be classy and even edgy when done in the correct manner. I chose to go with a classy beige look that is still sexy and relatable. The dress from Sofie's Selection is very pretty with a cinched waist from the simple belt and a sexy slit on the side that unfortunately you can't see here but trust me gives a nice little flash of leg, I really like this dress a great deal. The shoes are also from CMP and are by Klepsydra. They are made for SLINK feet and have a nice little metal spike detail that is color changeable. The Icons of Style shopping bag poses that includes the shopping bags you will find at CMP and are fun to shoot! My hair, necklace, earrings and ring are all from this round of Collabor88 and also worth your time to visit. I will blog an outfit from there soon!

Fad Fashion Event

I dropped into the FAD Fashion Event this week, I was pleasantly surprised at the goodies I found. I went for one outfit I had gotten an notice on and not only purchased it but got this great set from Wicca's Wardrobe. The theme for the event is "Bird of Prey" and the designers did a great job interpreting it. Wicca's outfit is so well done, I love the texture for the fabric, the colors are earthy and rich, the mask is way cool and comes in lots of colors, The cut and detail are on point and it just has a pretty yet bad ass look to it. I could see this done very feminine and also warrior style. I thought I was gonna have a tough time with shoes because the color of the outfit although gold isn't brassy looking, but good ol Glamistry to the rescue! The Eranthis shoes were perfection! When you get the fatpack the color combinations are almost endless and I was able to pull all the colors from the outfit into the shoe combination. The combination of metallic leather and suede as well as the tiny details such as the charms that are attached to the buckle make the Glamistry shoes a real hit for me and BONUS they work with my Maitreya feet! Color me happy! I paired it with a  nice jewelry set from Lazuri called Eda and was thrilled the hud feature a choice of "Light Gold" so that I could keep the more neutral shade of gold going in the outfit. It is monochromatic but I like it and will be finding someplace to wear this again soon! Oh! and I almost forgot the NAILS! I was so excited to get nail polish from the FAD event for my Maitreya Hands and Feet! Plumby has a set of desert colors that are awesome! So much to choose from! I may need to go shop some more!

Color Me Turquoise

The turquoise theme of Color Me Project is going on and this dress from Sofie's Selection, I am hooked on. I am going to be cautious here because I was recently told by a designer that I should not be offering opinions or viewpoints that are my own or relevant to only me, that I should remain neutral and/or positive in all the things I blog. I think this kind of defeats what a blog is, but please be assured anything I do blog it's because I LIKE it and I LIKE this dress a lot. it's sexy with it's cut out sides and slit at the leg, low cut and the hood makes me feel a little mysterious. The low cut allows for adding a statement necklace and it's wide enough in the hood that earrings can be worn as well, that's a win/win! The hud that comes with the dress gives you choices of patterns all keeping with the turquoise theme and the very cool shoes are from this round of Color Me Project and were created by Sky. The shoes have some great details and are  made for Slink Feet or TMP feet. I really hope more designers will start creating for my Maitreya feet as well so I don't have to keep switching feet back and forth, the shoes however were worth the trouble. A quick note on the eye makeup, 90% of the time when I add a eye makeup layer to my outfits it is from Elymode, the reason why is because I love the options the choice of colors and style, and that she creates not only the over the top stuff but basic cat liner is colors that don't overwhelm and just accent, I get to keep looking like me with the addition of some color, YAY! Thank you Ely! All the rest of the outfit is listed below.

N4RS for Uber's Spice Round

Been a rough weekend so it was great to talk to a dear friend who not only is a real sweetheart but an extremely talented designer. Ale sent me over his set that he created for this round of Uber. The theme is "Spice" and Ale did a tremendous job of interpreting the theme. The couch, print, chest and rug are all items you will find at Uber and all are gorgeous. He created detailed pieces from he comfy couch with the tone on tone pattern down to the intricate design and silver accents on the chest. If you want warm and comfy for your SL home, head to Uber and get the N4RS set, no charge for the delivery either!

Color Commentary

I love color, nevermind that I usually am always dressed in black, I actually love color. Being a RL artist and art educator my life is filled with color and that's probably why I was attracted to blogging for Color Me Project. Every round is a different color and gets me out of my black comfort zone. The upcoming round opening on the 25th is turquoise. There is some really cute things in it, this skirt and top are from zOOm and it's cute and quirky with it's tribal print. The skirt has a high waist, is short and tight adding some sex appeal to the whole outfit. I really think I may have to start being more purposeful in adding color to my every day wardrobe! I added one of my new favorite pairs of shoes, ECHIUM from Glamistry, I mentioned them in a earlier blog where I wore an all ivory pair but when you buy the fatpack with ALL the colors, you get so many color combinations you will be wearing these endlessly. The snakeskin accents create a pop of color that just makes them unique and fun to wear. The hair from [monso] called Min is available at Kustom9 as well.

Lazy Sunday

It took my a while to even get around to writing this and the photo is meh, because today really has been a lazy Sunday but at least I can be lazy and look good doing it thanks to my Gizza Scarlet Dress and VG Shoes. I picked up the GizzA dress at the Chapter Four event and actually got two of them because I couldn't decide between two of the patterns offered. It's a really cute boho style dress that comes with jewelry too! I am wearing the necklace and bracelet that comes with the dress as well as a Kitbitz necklace I picked up at The Secret Affair event. The shoes are at The Black Dot event and by VG. These are a really nice in between casual and dressy, they fit Slink mid feet and huge win on the platform because lately it seems everyone is into making super tall platforms on the shoes, (I call them stripper platforms) and it's just not really good for an everyday style for me. So thank you to VG Shoes for making something I can actually wear and walk in without breaking my neck. The hair is new from Truth and I grabbed my at the marketplace because, well, I hate the lag at the store. All the events I mentioned have items worth a look see so don't hesitate to go visit them!

Looking for the Light

I popped into Kustom9 today, despite not having a lot of time in SL with school wrapping up I wanted to take the time to blog this outfit. If you follow my blog at all you probably already know I am not big into over done outfits and am pretty minimalistic when it comes to what I wear. Don't get me wrong I want to look nice and pulled together I just tend to keep it clean and simple. I also tend to do A LOT of black so when spring finally arrives I have to fight the urge to stay in the black and look for the light. This DROP outfit is lovely, well made a an adorable bow on the back of the pants without looking too cutesy. I kept it all in ivory and paired some stunning shoes from Glamistry with the pants and top. These shoes are not done near the justice they deserve in this photo, they come with a hud that lets you customize the metals. the shoes are leather with snakeskin accents that can be color changed as well depending on how many colors you purchase. I am just gonna tell you right now, get the fat pack, you will be glad you did. I kept them all beige here but I had a hard time not accenting with the black on the snakeskin. These are some awesome shoes. The necklace and bracelet are from Mandala and the hair is new from Lamb at Collabor88.

Messy Hair, Don't Care

Look more purple! I had to do this super casual look just because it's just sooo comfy. When I am at home I am definitely a sweats kind of girl and when I saw this Eyelure top at Color Me Project I had to get it, it reads "Proud Supporter of  Messy Hair and Sweatpants". Well yeah, I am all on board with that support! The sweats are from IrEn and are low cut and sexy, the shoes are Flite lowtop Duck sneakers and the hair I grabbed at Collabor88 from Tableau Vivant. Laid back, chill and oh so comfy!

Color Me Project - Purple

Color Me Project newest round is purple which is my favorite color outside of black so I was pretty excited about this round. Real life has been kicking my ass and it's hard to find time for SL lately but I had to get me some purple love published! The dress is flirty and sexy and you should definitely be wearing some panties if you don't want to flash anyone while bending over or going a flight of stairs but if you like causing a little stir, then by all means flash away! I won't tell you if I am wearing any or not ;-)

The dress if from FLRN Design and the shoes are sexy times two from VG Shoes, I love the wood heel and platform, keeps them from being too formal and nice for everyday wear. Both items are at Color Me Project! Go, hurry, get some purple in your life!

Night Time is the Right Time

I have been out in NYC for a bit and finally returned home and there are so many great things needing to be blogged! I am very excited and super inspired after spending some time people watching and shopping when I wasn't working. Night time was my favorite time to people watch, the styles and individuality especially in the East Village was fun to take in. I think I need to be bolder in some of my fashion choices! So in that thought in mind I put together this outfit with pieces from this round of Color Me Project which features black as the color,  my all time favorite go to fashion color and from Glamistry's Kustom9 releases. It's sexy, bold and definitely has attitude for days. The shoes have a great hud for customizing and have all kinds of stylish details in the chain and heels, and the sunglasses, are just plain cool. The Jinx fur cape is fun and well made as well as the Xen Hat's Fedora and Wertina biker pants. Check out both events, there will be something for you at each one!

I wanted to share another outfit from the Color Me Project today while I had some time. A sweet yet sexy two piece ensemble, ruffle crop top and sleek pencil skirt in a textured metallic fabric. It's not complicated it dressed up or down and it's really just pretty damn sexy. I paired it with another great find you can get at CMP, VG's Brooklyn high heel sandals are all kinds of sexy just by themselves. Big and bold Lazuri diamonds, Epoque's Scandal hair and I am ready for whatever the night brings!

Lots of goodies I hope you now have tons of great silver items.

Real Life has been kicking my ass busy wise, but I didn't want to let Color Me Project get away without a couple of posts! The color this round is silver and there are lots of goodies to be had! Exclusives and discounts galore in silver. I put this outfit together and thought it felt very much like I would probably own a vineyard so of course I would need to test each vintage. That's what I did with the great Champagne poses from IOS that are available at CMP. The top, necklace and shoes are ALL from CMP and you have to get them! The shoes from VG look amazing and not too "shiny" silver. The necklace from Persefona is lovely and chunky and makes a great statement.

Glamistry, Valentina E, Truth and Lazuri

It's been such a busy time for me in RL but I still wanted to get a few blog posts in when I can and I really wanted to show of my Glamistry Linaria shoes! Love, love, love these shoes, fancier than just a mary jane with the chain strap, and metal trim. tons of color combinations and a sexy platform, these shoes will serve a multitude of stylish purposes. While sexy yet sophisticated I decided a dress that combined those same qualities was in order. Valentina E had the perfect dress to fit the bill. Called "You Won't Forget Me" I think it would be hard for anyone to forget you in this dress and these shoes. The scarf down the back calls attention to the sexy open back and  the sheerness of the scarf/blouse can be adjusted so you can me subtle or overt with the sexiness level. I brought out the diamonds and gem stones in my Lazuri Eva jewelry and the Truth Fynn hair is tousled but sophisticated and worked well with this dress. Pardon me while I bend over and adjust my skirt, and if it makes it harder to forget me, well that's all the better ;-)

Uber Time

I stated in my previous post I had just got back in town and of course I headed to Uber as soon as I could! The nice thing about being late to the party was no waiting to get in! I went saying do not buy more than you really need! That didn't last long, and I am already thinking oh I need to go and get this or that in more colors! The Olive hair is my new favorite hair and I will be sporting this for a long time I think in my day to day look, it's just super adorable. The cargo pants, LOVE and they make my ass look great! Shoes from Eudora are dressy casual so they paired really well with the cargo pants and my necklace and bracelets also from my Uber shopping spree. The top is from Maitreya and made to just throw on with my Lara mesh body. I am one happy camper when it comes to my Uber purchases and you will be too if you haven't been yet, go go go! There is no line!

Another exciting MWFW 2015 Preview! This one is from Lyrical B!zarre Templates.

MWFW SwaggedOut Spirit of Bali Tattoo Preview

You won't just find clothing at MWFW 2015, there will be an array of accessories as well and one I am lucky enough to preview in SwaggedOut's Spirit of Bali Tattoo. It's a intricate well made design that comes with appliers for Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, Signature, Omega and Physique! So no matter what mesh body you are sporting you are covered. It's comes in two versions, "fresh" and "faded" in case you want that new ink look or prefer a more aged appearance. (Faded is pictured here). So a short to the point post but definitely worthwhile because this tat will be perfect for your vacation or tropical lifestyle.

MWFW 2015 Bravura Preview

The hits keep on coming for Menswear Fashion Week 2015! Today I have an ensemble from Bravura that is total class. The Bravura Ascot Linen Outfit is simple, elegant and well made. A slightly cropped pant on a tall avi allows for the fun of the patterned socks and the alligator shoes to add some personality to the look. The Bravura trademark is tastefully added on the hem of the jacket, the ascot giving a little "Professor Higgens" feel to the look and the linen texture is well done. It's a good look, classy and definitely worth finding once the event opens! Remember Menswear Fashion Week 2015 March 27th-April 4th, 2015!

MWFW 2015 Vero Modero Preview

I am a lucky girl in the sense I get to blog for the guys for a bit! Menswear Fashion Week is fast approaching and let me tell you there is going to be some great items available! I feel like the guys get shortchanged at a lot of the shopping events so I am really happy there is something special for the men of SL. The outfit is from Vero Modero and it's just in time to beat those winter blues, bright, tropical and classy the shirt and shorts just make you want to kick your shoes off and bury you toes in the sand somewhere with a ice cold drink. The simple accessories are also available at MWFW by Moondance, a really nice set with nail appliers! A nicely manicured nail is always appreciated even on the guys! I like the simplicity and good fit of the gold chain, the ring and earring are tasteful and not overpowering and the red accents paired nicely with the shirt. I am looking forward to bringing you more goodies from MWFW 2015!

Exciting Sunday when two events open up for my shopping addiction! Liaison Collaborative and Kustom9 both opened their doors today and I got my wallet out and went to town, I will try to blog some more of the stuff I got this week, but forgive me if I am slow, RL is about to get crazy busy! For this outfit I am wearing some pieces from both the Liaison Collaborative and Kustom9. The "Paris" crop top (Liaison Collaborative) is a cute little tee with a lace overlay, the skirt, boots and rings are all from the Kustom9 event and are some of my new favorite purchases. I love the gemstone decoration on the boots that dresses them up for a more fashionable statement. I used my Maitreya mesh body for this, the stockings are an applier and the jewelry is from Mandala. The bow on my Lala hair from Truth added just the right touch for me and I ended up faving this outfit in my inventory!

Biker's Choice Fair

I am on spring break right now from school and it's given me more time to shop and blog which I am enjoying a great deal. I have been checking out events and stores that are not on my usual radar because I have found you can find all kinds of fashionable goodies even outside you normal comfort zone of style. I went to the Biker's Choice Fair and found some things I just loved! This is the Spirit Store Leather Catwa jumpsuit that I paired with what else..Catwa Rocker Hair! I loved the non shiny leather with subtle gold stud detailing. My feet needed some kick ass boots to match my outfit and hair so I grabbed some Glamistry boots off the marketplace, Swallow studded ring, erratic leather and chain bracelet and Pomposity choker I think I can start to get into Biker Chic!

Waiting for Inspiration

Blogging is a lot of fun, I love putting outfits together, trying styles, especially when it's something I want to try in RL but don't want to spend the money on until I know I would really like it, Many times my SL outfits get recreated in RL and vice versa. I am an artist in RL so my SL home has a studio in it as well because if makes me feel at home and brings a little piece of me into SL. Sitting in it waiting for inspiration or for someone to come home is comforting, relaxing. It's my safe place. We all need a safe place where we can just let everything go and just be, just sit and let the stresses fade and the inspirations come. To do this is comfort is key, This outfit is so comfortable just easy and relaxed. Cardigan, tee, denim shorts, a scarf because it's still a little nippy, broken in boots, ponytail in case the inspiration hits and I get to work, So my advice to anyone is RL or SL make sure you have a place that is your safety zone, where you always feel at ease and can regroup, become inspired or just plain relax.

London Calling and (A Sneaky Peek)

Today I was kinda lazy, Spent way to many Lindens at Collabor88 and The Arcade and stayed up all night last night decorating a new house knowing full well I was going to lose an hours sleep to Daylight Savings Time. So while what I feel like blogging is sweats and barefeet I did manage to pull myself together and style a simple and elegant outfit with some of the items I found at Collabor88 and the highlight of the day that I can mention here, NEW SKIN PREVIEW! Tuli dropped her newest creation on me, Neve which will be released at the Skin Fair 2015. It's a lovely skin, I kinda liked looking at myself naked in it! Neve comes in 7 tones, each with cleavage options,  Slink and Maitreya Appliers, four eyebrow colors, five eye make-up tattoos, ten lipstick tattoos, bonus teeth tattoos and bonus Neve shape! Tuli is really  spoiling us!

My outift comes partially from Collabor88. The Tres Blah red pencil skirt, the Milk Motion trench, as well as the Hucci shoes and Tableau Vivant hair. This outfit is so all about looking for an apartment in London, I wanted to add a little edge to it so I added the studded ring from Swallow and studded belt with Mandala's Chunkeeey necklace. I shot in in Apple Fall's London Apartment Skybox. So there you have it, quick, simple, elegant girl about town.

Andy

So I love this outfit, I was kind of at a loss how to style it at first, I tried several approaches but when I finally decided the cut of the dress was kind of retro I went with it and I think it worked out! The dress is another find from Fashion Art, the hat is one of my favorite hats from the super talented Kallisto Destiny of Drift, and I am loving the shoes from Hello Dave that have a comic book print! Now Warhol isn't really a comic book style artist, that belongs to Roy Lichtenstein but the two styles mixed well with this outfit and hey they are both Pop Artists, I am loving the bright colors since the skies in RL have been kinda of gray as of late, it's nice to have some color in my Second Life!

Lipstick Red

Fashion Art opened today and I was watching the clock til it did and immediately tp'd in to do some damage to my linden bank account. It's a really fun event and I love the artist based theme. The dress is from AnaMarkova based on Andy Warhol's lipstick prints. The print on the front and solid black back with red cut out sleeves really pops and it's so busy I didn't want to add to much to it and take away from the dress itself. I added a wonderful necklace I also picked up at Fashion Art from Kunglers based on Frida Khalo called Frida Forever some black tights, and some shoes I grabbed while I was at Fashion Art from DE Boutique, they have a color pack and essential pack, I got both! Topped it all off with my Lode Dark Fragrance hat, some modern earrings and my look was completed. I will blog some more things from the event, it's a lot of fun so go and get some wearable art!

Complimentary Color

Black is usually my go to color in my SL and RL wardrobe, maybe because it's easy to work with, some roots I have in NYC so I got used to wearing it or I just like it, whatever the reason though to step outside that comfort zone is easy it just doesn't happen often. So what happened that made me step away from that norm? It was pretty simple, a friend of mine, Alecat Breda of N4RS  was nominated for 3  awards at the SL Adult Industry Awards (2 of which he won! Congrats hon!). Ale's partner and mine were both busy in RL so he asked me to accompany him. I asked what I should wear and being the creative soul that he is, he said green because it compliments your red hair. As a RL art educator (and red head) I know a lot about color theory and green being the complimentary color to red it does look good on a red head, so I went with it. The invitation said "sexy/formal" but I also wanted classy so after some serious hit and misses and a lot of time on marketplace I ran across this Topazia dress. I was unsure at first but once I put it on, adjusted my Maitreya mesh body for it and chose hair I was in love with it. Sexy, formal yet still classy. Everything I wanted and then some. The addition of some nice jewelry and I was set. It was a great event, I felt confident and was so happy to be able to celebrate an amazing creator and friend. Congrats Ale on your awards and thank you for a lovely evening!

More Uber Goodness

The Uber goodness just keeps on coming! Today it's all about my SEUL fringe skirt. I grabbed it at Uber and to be honest I had a whole other idea on styling it with boots and a white blouse and some boho jewelry but I was going through my inventory and found this fur poncho by IAF and I went with it. The hair is from Lelutka one of the newer releases called Aaliyah it uses their new color hud which I am liking but I do kinda miss all my hair bases not just automatically matching, maybe there have new bases and I just haven't grabbed them yet. I went with a root fade from the hud and it had sort of a Khloe Kardashian feel to it. I could see her in the short tight fringe skirt and fur poncho. The shoes are another fav of mine from Uber by Just Designs. FYI READ THE ENCLOSED NOTECARD! This pair of shoes comes with socks also and you have to read the notecard what socks to wear with what shoes if you want to know which ones will work with your mesh body. For instance if you need the Maitreya socks you have to wear the Belleza shoes. Once I had that all sorted out though was loving them! The bench and rug from Junk is also at Uber as well as the wall art from Tarte. I don't know if I will blog much more from Uber, I still have a ton of things I haven't yet but we will see how it goes, Snow days have allowed me a little more blogging fun this week than I normally get! :-)

Boho Beauty

My third post on things to spend your lindens on at Uber. There is soooo much stuff there I really loved and way to little time to blog it all. The skirt and top from Foxes is way cute, love the design on both pieces because it adds to the look rather than overwhelms it. The coin jewelry from Izzies I like way better "in person" than I did on the vendor photo and I am loving the hair from Little Bones. I have to tell you about the Sideboard from N4RS. The detail on this thing is nothing short of perfect, The chrome handles are just wow and the textures are clean, clear and crisp, love the color and the add touches of the painted door fronts. It's a incredibly well made piece of furniture AND it comes with a copper bowl, incense AND wall hanging. That's a generous designer! The make up tray with the bottle and the plant sitting on the sideboard are also from Aria's set at Uber called Willa and it feeds my need for details. I was able to make my mesh body work with this outfit so a big plus there! So thank you designers and creators for some really great stuff added to my inventory!

Bohemian Uber

Another Uber look and this one is definitely a little more bohemian than the last outfit I posted. The knotted Zenith dress is really sweet, has nice lines, isn't too baggy and a nice low back to show just enough skin. The Truth hair is really pretty, long fishtail braid down the back with a choice of adding cute little flowers or butterflies as accents and the wedge shoes from Eudora add some height so the dress doesn't overwhelm. The pillows come with the Kalopsia Gipsy Shack you see pictured as well as the rug you see inside. Just barely visible inside is a nice boho bench from junk, the candle lantern is from there also. Almost forgot! I added some Maxi Gossamer jewelry keep the style going. I am definitely feeling the boho vibe with this look.

Waiting For My Ship to Come In

Uber opened today and I was excited to go! I kept hitting that tp button til I finally got in and it was so worth it! The theme this round is Bohemian, and there is a lot of really boho things, this outfit didn't quite strike me as true bohemian but I did like it a lot. This is something I would wear to the lake when it's still just a slight nip in the air early and late in the day. It's a nice  casual laid back look that is a little dressier than jeans and a sweatshirt. The outfit is from MotiAme, the hair Wasabi Pills both available at Uber. I paired it with a simple Maxi Gossamer whistle necklace, Phunk canvas sneakers and stole a bag from the men's department at ISON. All in all a simple but stylish look.

More Shiny Shabby

I have some more Shiny Shabby for you! So much good stuff there! So this outfit is by Reverie, the Honey Pie Tied-up shirt and skirt are really pretty. The skirt and shirt come in multiple colors but I tend to settle on the neutrals more than the colors but I admit I had a hard time deciding between the red and the brown skirt. I like the skirt well enough I may go back and get the red one as well. I rarely get a chance to wear this Maitreya hat/hair combo so I was excited I got to use it for this shoot. I didn't do much to this outfit other than add one of my Maxi Gossamer necklaces that has a vintage feel to it, and the ieQED rings from the Shiny Shabby event. The setting uses {anc} print roll screen that I seriously love, you can't see all of it in this photo but go check it out, you will love it too. The glass bottle and drape are from the 22769 decorating pack and the painting, one of my favorite items from the Shiny Shabby event, comes with the awesome N4RS Siena set. I will probably be visiting the event again, I tried to have some restraint the first time around I am slowly losing my resolve had controlling my purchases!

Shiny Shabby

I stopped into the Shiny Shabby event today and was really pleased with some of the items offered. I love they style and comfort of the "shabby chic" look of things and the sweetness of the fashion that fits into the style. I grabbed a whole lot more than what is pictured here and the items you are only getting a glimpse of has some wonderful pieces that go with it. The N4RS lamp, well it goes with a a whole amazing set, chair, rug, stool, painting, Huge bang for your buck (in the material sense;-). The little vase of flowers is from a decorating set by 22769 (bauwerk) that has some amazing stuff in it most notably for me some cool paper wings that are for hanging on the wall but I am gonna try to wear at some point. The table from Reverie was a gatcha item at the event and the chair with TONS of fabric options is from Apt. B.

Home wise, Shiny Shabby is a win and fashion wise it's pretty good too! My whole outfit is from the event, the Glam Affair skin, Tableau Vivant hair, Zenith dress, JD boots (you can't see but trust me are fab!) ieQED rings and Mandala Jewelry set all were purchased at the event. There is something for everyone including the gentlemen! If you like spending ALL your lindens, and are into vintage style, head over there.

Vintage Cyber Girl

I visited Futurewave last night and while I normally am not one to go all out on cyber type things I had a good time and ended up buying quite a few items. There is a large selection of items and while much of it is very futuristic, there were several items that kind of reminded me of vintage views of what the future would hold. I ended up styling with that in mind and I think I got close to that vision. I sort of see this as a "Lost in Space" era look. It was fun to put together and if you enjoy a futuristic lifestyle in SL then the Futurewave event will be right up your alley.

Just Wait.

 Waiting, sometimes it's actually a good thing, allows you to gain perspective, build anticipation of what's to come and creates an excitement that immediate gratification doesn't allow. Sometime's it feels like an eternity, nothing will change and all will be lost. I constantly try to stay with the more optimistic version of waiting although I can be guilty of being impatient. I wait for event to open counting the hours until I can see the newest and brightest offerings SL's amazing creators come up with. I spend way to many Lindens on things I may or may not wear or use just because artistically I so appreciate the work they have put in to something and how it shows in the detail and the care that in which it was made. I try to be more selective these days but it's hard, still I have slowed down buying every gorgeous gown or dress since I am really a jeans and sweater kind of girl. This outfit I would wear in RL and would probably be a go to on a regular basis. Simple, easy and comfortable but stylish. I picked up the Pure Poison Amy flats at Kustom9 along with my new favorite pair of jeans from Fishy Strawberry.  The jacket and shirt is a combo from Cold Logic and normally has stuff a little too tame for me but when I mix and match I find somethings I really like, again, well made trumps almost everything and I have not even been disappointed with any of these designers. I have other things in my life I am having to wait on right now, so I guess I am being a little reflective, it's hard to wait, especially when you have no control over it, it can get depressing, but optimism is a sweet gift to those that have to wait, so now that I have hit up a lot of the current events, I will wait for the next round of events, optimistic that it will be worth the wait!

Cold Winter Day

So I am sitting here at home watching a very cold rain; it was suppose to have been snow but alas no such luck. I know some of you are sick of snow and winter but for those of us who rarely see the white stuff the thought of a snowy day is as exciting as hearing those magical words..."School is closed for a snow day". It is very cold though and I am keeping warm snuggled up in a favorite sweater and this dress from Zenith (available at Kustom9) reminds me of it, the dress version of it anyway. I thought this was such a nice dress, the texture is fabulous, not blurry at all which happens with a lot of knit textures. I kept it simple pairing it with my Maitrerya Devi boots in brown, Exxess Jagoda hair and Mandala Milky Way choker in brown. I was able to wear the dress with my Maitreya Lara body which always makes me a happy camper. Kustom9 is open and they has some really cute things I will try and get to blogging this week. Maybe if I can get another "cold rain day" off.

Vintage Flair from Gizza

I dropped by the Chapter Four event today and wasn't expecting to purchase anything as I have been trying to not spend so much on clothes, shoes and builds but once again my willpower took a hike. I couldn't resist the "Colette" sweater and skirt ensemble from Gizza it had such a cool vintage vibe to it, dress it up with heels and gloves for "Mad Men" style shopping excursion or with flat boots and tights for a retro beatnik look that would have you ready for poetry night in a coffee house. The outfit is impeccably made just as all of Gizza's items are and I love the fact I can wear it with my Maitreya Mesh body and the sassy beret it comes with makes me a happy girls because I love when I designer sees a total look and creates it so well. The skin is Glam Affair and another great find at Chapter Four! Cute short hair from elua and accessories from Swallow make me a girl about town ready to put a dent in the shopping economy!

Barn Bride

I have to admit when it comes to SL weddings I am not a huge fan, while in RL I think weddings done correctly can be a wonderful celebration but I popped into FaMESHed and the Trompe loeil wedding barn is so well made and the decorations so spot on I had to purchase it just because it would make a great photography set or party barn in general. Since I was rarely do any wedding stuff I figured why not, just because I am not a big fan of SL weddings doesn't mean I don't like dressing up, ala' the "Friends" episode where the girls all dress in wedding gowns and drink beer and just feel pretty. I found this adorable dress from Stitched at the Fashion Fair and I immediately thought of it as a cute short wedding dress alternative, not everyone wants to be a princess cream puff for their big day! "My Little Polka Dot" dress is very cute and paired with a hat from a very inexpensive gown I found on the marketplace I was pretty much set. Adding some pearls, a bouquet and heels makes for a fun little bridal outfit.
