I'm Riding Low In The Crutch.

Gawd did this outfit take me ages to style!  I started with the low crotch lilac pants from Graffitiwear  and set out to find the rest.  I went over to The Liaison Collaborative to grab IKON's new release 'Perspective Eyes' which I'm wearing and saw this fabo top from 22769 called 'Obi' in violet.  I couldn't believe I got that lucky because lilac isn't the easiest color to co-ordinate. IKON's new eyes will only be available for a limited time so don't you go and miss out because they're GORGEOUS.  You may be crying if you do but not with your Perspective eyes.  Do take a trip to The Liaison Collaborative because there is some fantastic stuff there.  I also purchased the purple sunnies made by Le Primitif and the belt bracelets made by Izzies from there too.

I knew where to go for a great bag having been to Swallow the day before noticing what a great range they had in stock.  This one is called 'Rockstud' in purple and it's ever so lovely in the flesh.

 
I found these shoes from Faenzo on Marketplace called 'Solstice' that are add-on's for Slink feet.  They are simply elegant and you can change the colors with the hud provided.  I labored over my necklace and ended up wearing the delightful 'Balini' necklace in camelian-plum from Zaara.

I'm so glad I spent the time touring the grid for my bits and pieces because I'm ever so pleased with the result.  Oh and the hair is a great style from Tableau Vivant called 'Alexandria'.  I LOVE this hair.

I spent time today adding more feeds to my list taken from the [SL] Blogger Support blog. Thank you to Katya Valeska for compiling this exhaustive list for us.  I went through the feeds I'm not linked with and completed various applications hoping to be included.  If anyone knows anyone who facilitates these feeds, put in a good word for the old Cha will you?  lol.  I've been really enjoying reading 'Conversations With' various bloggers on [SL] Bloggers Support.  I love learning more about people, particularly those in the blogging community, so its been fun getting to know my colleagues in SL fashion better.

Coffee And Vanilla.

I love a good scarf and I've had this one from Vogue just waiting to blog.  Called 'Sharmine Stole' in Russet, it's the mixture of colors that drew me to it.

I chose these embroidered jeans in coffee from Bliss Couture and found that the new release bag from Boom worked really well with it. The top is from Kunglers called 'Alicia' in vanilla.  A simple silky little thing that is so versatile.

The shoes I found on Marketplace for a mere $99L and I consider them my bargain of the month.  They are from InVerse and are called Vegas Heels.  While mainly building houses/prefabs, InVerse have a small variety of shapes/skins, clothing and shoes.  You wear the hud and can change colors on all different parts of the shoes.  I love them.

I took these pictures at the new Glam Affair sim.  Looks great and I can't wait to go check out all the new releases I believe are in store.  Roll on pay day.

I'm On Stripe.

I've had this striped shirt from Pichi for a little while and have been meaning to blog it. I really like the gold lapel studs and buttons.  I found these shades at Mon Tissue called 'Harlow Sunglasses' and the gold details picks up the gold on the shirt.

The bag I picked up at Boom called 'Studio Tote' and love the boxy style of it.  I went hunting in my inventory for hair and loved this curly do from W&Y.

I love the simplicity of these add-on Llena sandals from Slink.

50 Shades Of Purple.

I found this gorgeous lavender top at Zaara the other day and loved the cut of it.  With a deep V neck and cinched at the waist, I couldn't resist.  Off I went to find me something to wear with it and found myself again at Molichino where I spotted these pants.

Mesh pants are great and I love that they do away with that horrible crease in the crotch area that used to be a problem with pants and shorts.

 
The colored bracelets are also from Zaara and I paired them with the Tefutefu jewellery set from Mandala.  I'm in my Tri Colored Heels (again) and after purchasing the fat pack, will always have a pair of shoes for any color or occasion.  The clutch is Le Primitif and adds even more color.

And I Think To Myself...What A Wonderful World.

After watching Squinternet Larnia (Giulia) sing that song so beautifully on YouTube sounding to me very much like Marlene Dietrich, I haven't stopped singing it all day.  Let's not forget what a wonderful world it is particularly when a group of people come together in a virtual world to pay tribute to someone they admire, not only with their words, but with donations to help ease the financial burden.  I read someone saying that they never loved SL more than now once the money was tallied up.  So true. 

Anyway, on to what Squinternet loved so much, the fashion.  Today I've fused Zaara with Molichino and love the result.  The beautiful top from Zaara looks to be inspired by Middle Eastern textiles with stunning gold motifs that glisten in the light.  The long skirt has a lovely belt and buckle and flows so delicately when you walk.

  

I accessorized heavily with this look, wearing a range of jewellery from various designers.  The bag is gorgeous from House Of Fox called 'Roman Bag'.  What I'm loving about SL these days after Siddean Monro devised her stunning feet and hands, is that rings and bracelets look so wonderful when they used to be the ugliest part of any avi.  Just a word to jewellery makes however, can you please ensure that you don't limit the reduction size of rings?  I have purchased some that are huge and will only reduce to a certain size which is still much to big to fit on one's finger.  Some rings I've put on cover nearly three fingers and unless you are producing for a Yeti, is not realistic for a normal avatar hand.

And speaking of Slink, these strappy little numbers are called LuLu Add-on shoes in Chocolate.  So clever the way the straps wrap around the heel.  Isn't it always the small details that takes something to a new level of fabulousness?

I have tidied up my bloggers list and removed the inactive ones and added lots of new, terrific blog-a-logs. Please feel free to write in my comments section if you want your blog added to my blog links.  I'm happy to oblige.

Hope you like my look for today.  Remember to be kind to one another because we only have right now.  Follow in Squinternet's footsteps and give of yourself wherever possible no matter how small or insignificant your act may be to you, for someone else, it may mean the world.

Stop And Smell The Lilac.

What am I thinking about?  Possibly that I still can't get in to The Arcade.  I want to get my hands on the new Belleza skin but alas, I'm thrilled to have found Al Vulo skins.  This one is called 'Virginia' and what a great idea to find that the Slink skin appliers were contained in the folder when I purchased this.  YAY.  In my opinion this is a divine skin and plan to head on back to Al Vulo for more, more, more.  I love you Hlin Bluebird for making such incredible skins.

I'm thrilled to present this beautiful dress from Zaara called 'Aamani Wrap Dress' in lilac.  When I saw it on the poster I thought it looked stunning, but on, wow it's even more gorgeous.  It took me ages to style because I was stuffing about and getting side-tracked in all the stores I visited.  I wanted some lovely shoes to go with it and ended up at Just Designs.  Thank God I did because I found these unreal shoes called 'Deviant Lilla' and blow me down, they had Al Vulo skins in the hud.  How lucky was that?  Anyway, now I can't wait to buy some more shoes from Just Designs and believe me, there are some amazing shoes.

These have no heel and I couldn't help but think how I'd walk in them in RL.  I know GaGa can do it but I think I'd be walking like an some old knock kneed hooker.  I love shoes but I know my limits.

I was all over the place trying to find THE bag and luckily Zenith didn't disappoint.  That shop never disappoints.  This one is a little gem of rattan, lace and leather.  I chose the Peach color and matching little studded hair bow which seems to work well with the delicate bow belt on the dress.

Words don't express how much I love this dress and how it fits and drapes the body.  Zaara has indeed excelled in making one of the most realistic pieces I've seen.

I must give a big, appreciative shout out to Sasy Scarborough's FLAIR nails.  Not only are they bloody fantastic, she shares them with bloggers and I want her to know how grateful I am.  Hopefully she will read this...THANK YOU SASY.

I've seen that the next lot of contestants for Miss Virtual World have been selected...dang.  I wanted to audition again.  Bugger...may be next year.

I really need to get going on my next Cha's Flash Fash Cash Comp.  Could this be any slower to take off?  I don't think so given no-one has yet to claim my $1000L prize but I'm not giving up on it though.  I want it to become big, big, big and be on the tips of everyone's tits. lol

Until next time my lovelies....play nice :-)

I Pia'd My Pants.

Oh I know, the title!  But I couldn't resist it when featuring my new Pia Pants from Pure Poison Fashion. While waiting to get into The Arcade...will some of you leave so I can get in...I styled this outfit using a bit of this and that.

I love Pure Poison and when I spied these striped pants, thought they looked unusual and grabbed them.  I purchased the 'Bandhni Hanky Top' from Zaara's capitalizing on the 50% sale.

They're like snazzy jodhpurs but I'm not riding a horse, just these uber edgy Storm Sandals from Gos.  The bracelet on the right was a group giftie also from Pure Poison.  The bracelet on the left is from Je Suis.  I'm loving Je Suis jewellery because so much of it is color change which gives you more bang for your buck.  Now the belt is no longer available unfortunately.  It was designed by Cocomitsu Mayo from UnTone which used to be one of my favorite shops.  Gosh I wish she would come back and design again...ho hum.  I bet Vixie Rayna would recall our UnTone shopping expeditions way back when dinosaurs roamed SL.

I'm all curly wurly with this do from Vanity Hair called 'Sonata' finished with a hair bow I recolored from ur.favorite.one.  The fantastic bag with feather embellishment is from Attic on Marketplace.

Pictures are taken on a lovely sim called 'Maria Lynn Falls'.  

Now I'm off to see if I can get into The Arcade.  Make way people, I've got an umbrella and I ain't afraid to use it.

Love from me.

I Purr In La Fleur.

This post is a bit picture laden but only because I adore this dress that I found on Marketplace for $150L from La Fleur.  Simply called the 'Mesh Old Fashioned Dress Model 4', I fell for it hook, line and sinker and hoped that it would look as lovely on as it did in the picture.  It totally exceeded my expectations and taking a look at the offerings from La Fleur on Marketplace, know I have found a new favorite store.

Take a look at that stunning cut and pattern.  It screams sexy and reminds me that there are people out there making damned fine clothing at reasonable prices. I love the little sleeve, tight bodice escaping into a finely draped full skirt.

I'm loving the hair choice from Wasabi Pills called 'Tanya' in the color Seafoam.  I'm feeling very Brigitte Bardot.  A lot of thought has gone into this dress when you look at the chocolate striped edging on the skirt with the flower treatment peaking through.

I accessorized the shoes and bag in chocolate both by Faenzo.  The shoes are made to wear with the Slink Add-On feet so I was extra happy to buy them.  The bag is called 'Sookie' and has beautiful hardware.

Here's the outfit in its entirety and I'm thrilled with the result. I ain't taking this off today that's for sure.

Pretty Is As Pretty Does.

I really do love pretty and I'm a sucker for floral muted tones especially if I spy a flower or two as accessories in the package.  This gorgeous top I purchased from the Love Donna Flora Event and is made by Gizza perfectly titled 'Romantic Rendez-Vous. While unfortunately there was no rendezvousing taking place, I took ME on a date and I have to admit I'm expensive.  The top comes with hair and waist flower and delightful beads of cream, dusty pink and sage.

Never being one to be constrained by fashion rules, I chose these 'India' jeans by ALB while bold in their own right, do reflect many of the tones contained in the top.

I couldn't wait to bust out my new bag from Alexandra Sautereau Collection Utility called 'The Ashbury'.  I love the colored leather look fringe and unusual material.

Zaara is currently having a 50% sale and I took advantage of it to purchase these 'Atiriya' stone bracelets.

Standing at the dock on the bay, I'm feeling pleased to have found another location for pics.  This time its Annwn Willows.

My inventory is in such a mess at the moment and I get so annoyed with myself when I purchase things to wear together and then forget where and what they are. Too much clicking and not enough sorting straight away is where I go wrong.  I need a personal assistant...NO...I need a cleaning lady. lol

"I Can't Deny The Fact, You Like Me, You Really Like Me". (Thanks For The Quote Sally Field) lol.

This is a post about the shop Envious that offers an eclectic mix of sexy wear and sophisticated fashion.  The store is vast and I mean VAST.  Wall upon wall of vendor posters so you need a lot of time to have a good look at each one.  I purchased quite a few outfits which I will style over the coming weeks.

The outfit called 'Luxury' consists of the pants, belt, top, shoes and bangles.  As I mentioned three posts ago, this is another store that offers complete outfits which require only minimal styling effort from you to achieve maximum results.  This entire outfit was just L$150 which is as I said before, a complete bargain when it includes an entire look. Plus there are numerous lucky chairs for those wanting to nab some freebies.

I love the fact that shoes are included and that I didn't have to fiddle around finding a belt.  The drape of the trousers are full and resemble a light woolen texture with realistic folds over the shoes.

I just added a minimalistic bag from Little Petits Details called the 'Garbo Clutch' and some white pearl earrings from Zaara called 'Nizam Jhumka'.

The hair is one of Truth's new releases called 'Charlize'.  I'm sure he meant to call it Chalice but his secretary slipped with the spelling!  No, I'm being silly now because the amazing Mr Hawks has already named a hair after me and for that, I was absolutely thrilled.

I took my luxurious self down to 'Salt Water' to take these shots.  I really love that place.

Now a couple of days ago, for some reason totally unbeknown to me, I reached an all time high in blog hits over a 24 hour period.  I mean REALLY high for me.  I was almost barracking for the number's to rise like rooting for my football team.  It remains one of life's little mysteries, why, out of the blue, you get readers popping in like never before and you know what?  I LIKED IT.  My blog stats tell me that my page views overall are 94,714. Thank you to every single one of you who have visited.  My remaining dreams are to be included in 'Fashion Feed of SL' and  to be accepted into the 'Style Academy' feeds.   Well you gotta dream big, don't you?

Stairway To Somewhere.

I think Chalice is the picture of femininity which florals seems to bring out in women.  Subjective I know, but that's what I always think of when I see soft floral colors with flower adorned hair.

I found this dress on my travels at Leri Miles Designs and thought the color was eye catching and the epitome of all that is beautiful about spring.  Again, I scoured all my favorite haunts to find jewellery I was happy with.  I seriously labour with jewellery for some reason but I do find it important to feel right about the jewellery I pick.

 
I headed up the long stairway to see what was at the top and this was no mean feat in my new Gos Grace heels.

Half way up I stopped for a shot.  I love these bangles from C'est la vie that come in a set.  My bag is another color choice from the fat pack of Croire 'Chic Chain Clutches'.  I love the size of it and the hardware is delicate.

I'm wearing Diva hair called 'Diva 2' complete with flowers which was a 30,000 group member celebration gift that is still available at the store if you join the group.  I love the sweet 'Sakura' necklace from Bliensen and MaiTai.  After walking up all these stairs, let me tell you I was ready for a Mai Tai.

In closing, I need more Plurk friends so if you need another one, FRIEND ME?  To be honest, I can't work out how to find SL people to send a friend request...yes, I know, I'm challenged.

Through The Sands Of Time, There's Zaara.

This is one of the most beautiful outfits I have ever shown on my blog in my opinion.  This post is exclusively a dedication to the wonderful designer, Zaara Kohime, who brings such quality, color and vivacity to SL.  Upon checking her profile, I see she is an Art Director/Illistrator and it certainly shows in every piece I've ever purchased from Zaara the label.  The outfit I'm wearing is called 'Syona Kurta' in Saffron.  It comes complete with tunic, scarf and pants.  Being this is a feature on Zaara, I chose the cute little flats called 'Ilaida Mojri' also in Saffron.

The stunning head jewellery is called 'Nizam Head Jewel' in Gold and the earrings are 'Nizam Jhumka' also in gold.

The stunning bracelets are called 'Atiriya' in carnelian gold.  I also added a turquoise bracelet called 'Vyomini' just because it's so beautiful.

Yep, my Slink hands look splendid and the nail appliers are the Glitter Set #1by Orc Inc.

 
Overall, Zaara has produced some kind of wonderful and I am in total LOVE with it.

While putting together this post, I have been listening to K.D. Lang's version of Hallelujah over and over and over.  I needed the soothing tones of her voice in my head tonight.  I am in love with her big time even though I've been crying for an hour torturing myself through the song...it resonates with me right now and its perhaps not the best thing to do.  Play songs that bring up emotions but hey, don't they say crying washes away the pain?

Go Ahead, Brighten My Day.

Who wouldn't have a happy day in these gorgeous 'Sari' dresses from Sascha's Designs.  The material texture and pattern are so stunning.  Available in Purple, Pink and Aqua, they are as vibrant as a summers day. I REALLY love these dresses.

Purple 'Sari' Dress

Pink 'Sari Dress

Aqua 'Sari' Dress

The necklace and earrings  I'm wearing is called 'Flora' from Eclectica Jewelry.  A fun, versatile piece, you can color change all of the details on the necklace/earrings and will be a valuable asset to your accessory collection.

I couldn't help but grab a fat pack of these Llena Sandals that is an add on to the Slink Womens' Natural mesh bare feet.  The fat pack includes 9 colors so you're bound to find the right color for your outfit. 

I decided to continue the fabulous colors to my hair and again purchased a fat pack of the 'CL' hair from Magika.  With a color change hud, easy peasy dye job.

Pink: Bangles from Mandala
Aqua: Bangle from Zaara

I Got Zaara'fied.

I walked into Zaara with paper money in my purse.  I walked out with a few coins.  But who can blame me with all that fabulous fashion lining the walls.  Its a wonder I didn't walk out with an IOU.

I got Zaara'fied with this beautiful top and pants that feature amazing textures and worth ever cent.  The top is called 'Zayba Cross Top' in Sand and comes with flowers that sit across the bias cut.  I love the asymmetrical bottom and delicate creases and clever shading that creates dimension.

The lycra knee shorts are called 'Tara' shown in gold and come in a short or knee length version.  Such a rich and extravagant pattern which is purely appreciated when worn.  The little gold beaded bag is from Glow Studio called 'My Pride'.   

I found these really smart Wedge Boots at a store I hadn't been to before, Marshmallows.  I was really pleasantly surprised at their stock so be sure go have a look see.  With a touch resize menu, they're easy as pie to fit.  The color shown here is white.

If you will indulge me another picture, I found this hair at Kik.  The name of it is 'Fine' in platinum.  They have some sensational hair and I couldn't help but pick up a few styles.  Loving the wind swept, wispy look they have achieved.

I've stocked up on some more clothes so am looking forward to styling them for future posts.  Take care gorgeous ones. xx

You know I hate to admit this, but I DETEST doing my links to the stores.  I absolutely want to give them credit and provide my readers with limo's at the touch of a click but gawd it gets tedious....ok whinge over.
