Let Me Tell You A Secret.................

Take one striking Kimono coat ($240L) with paisley pattern from The Secret Store and one  Menorca dress ($350L) in mustard from CheerNo, Add a red knot belt ($50L) from Voix and strings of pearls from +plus that I colored to match and you have a great little look going on.

Never forget to check the permissions on your items lovies because quite often you can make color modifications that personalizes your outfit for that uniqueness we all crave.

Finding some heels for my little outfit was quite a challenge but I persevered until I came across these Loordes Of London Asrid Booties in Regal Blue ($75L) sold at the Tropicana Baazar.

I love my newest bag purchase called Resort Satchel ($250L) in Pumpkin from Leverocci.  Seriously folks.  You MUST go check out Leverocci's stuff, especially the shoes, but not before I blog them or I'll hunt you down and smack you with my purse.

As for the rest, Cha's wearing Kaja hair ($100L) in Platinum from Kik, Gold and Coral earrings from Simay Creations, Lotus ring from Kunglers, Prim nails from Pixel Mode, Claudia 2 Milky Glow skin from Laq and Love My Eyeliner and Mascara Tattoo from Boom.

Anyway that's it from me.  Hope you all had a wonderful New Year.  While I'm sad Christmas/New Year is over for another year, my body needs a serious detox so perhaps its for the best if I want to see 2013.

Her Name Was Lola.

I love a bit of vintage and a trip to Vita Bella fits the bill when I want some screen goddess glamor.  I found this gorgeous Lola dress in red and black that just oozes old world style.  The luster of the skirt and shirt is lovely and a dream to photograph.  At just $250 L for the outfit, it's great value.  If you want to get in touch with your inner Veronica Lake or Marilyn Monroe, among many other glamor's of yesteryear, go check out Vita Bella.

  
The amazing Spanish Hat is a freebie from BaObA and I totally encourage those of you who haven't had the pleasure of seeing a BaObA creation to run along for some millinery magic.

The shoes are fab-tastic creations from Similar Footwear called Genova.  Seriously inspired styling and when considering the difference in price from some other shoe designers, are a great price for such quality at $900L a pair.  Hey and look at that sexy rear and lovely zipper work.

I threw on my CheerNo Diamond Gloves (short version) and wore Pearl Earrings in gold from Beauty Code to carry on the circle theme.  Here is the new release called Starlight from Vanity Hair for $300L.

Hello Possums...here are my new favorite pants from SoManyStyles. OMG these are so smart and hang like a dream. I love the unusual waist and super gorgeous plaited belt. I'm so in love that I styled two looks using the one pair of pants.

Cheering For CheerNo.

I'm so pleased Aleta Scatter lives in SL. If she didn't, I'd never have this fabulous Sabrina Dress that she made. Aleta is the designer behind CheerNo Femme and Homme. It's an impressive enterprise containing some seriously edgy fashion pieces that include clothing, hair, skin, accessories, jewelery to name a few. Everything you see in these pictures bar skin, hair base and shoes comes with your purchase of the Sabrina Dress.

The skull hat kind of reminds me of a bottle top and the geometric design of the dress showcasing black and an unusual tone of pink gives it the uniqueness I like in my formal dresses. I especially like the hip adornments that I could, if I were lazy, hang my shopping bags on if I were inclined to indulge in a spending spree whilst wearing this dress.

If you haven't yet, go check out CheerNo. You may even use my dress to give your arms a rest.

Lemongrass Class.

I need an inventory clean out like never before and while contemplating this task, I fished around halfheartedly subconsciously looking for an excuse not to do it. I stumbled upon this dress from Stitch by Stitch in the color of lemongrass that I purchased a while ago and forgot about. I adore the color and as usual, the quality and fit were spot on.

Please bear with me while I fluff around finding outfits I had planned to blog but with Christmas/New Year sapping my inspiration, I need to remove my finger and just do it.
