Pretty In Paisley.

I popped into BeloD for a look yesterday and spotted this 'Eden' dress in black and white paisley that commanded my attention.  Yes the cut of the dress is simple but the pattern definitely transforms it and certainly get's you noticed.

The hair is a new release from Truth called 'Faye', a lovely soft up do that he does so well.

The bangles were purchased at Designer Circle from Modern Couture and come in black, silver and gold and are called 'Gaki' as was the dewy feminine skin from WOW called 'Kate'.  Thank you WOW for providing the SLINK hand/feet appliers for sale with the skin.  I really appreciate it when skin designers make it easy to find their appliers and can only wonder why every skinner hasn't got on board with this.  It would have to be an awesome must have skin for me to buy it if they haven't joined SLINK in providing appliers.

 
The bag which I know has been shown on the feeds before but deserves regular viewing is from Le Primitif fittingly called 'Leather Swan Tote'.  I love this so much and encourage designers to come up with out of the box bags.  If you haven't already noticed something about me, I'm a HUGE shoe and bag fan. 

Now these totally fabulous shoes are from Redgrave called 'Helena' and for around $660L you can purchase the 12 fat pack and the hud allows you to come up with all sorts of wonderful combinations.  Redgrave's shoe collection is outstanding in my opinion and I've never been disappointed with any shoe from there.  I plan to purchase their entire collection as money permits.

Here's a closer view.

I'm in shoe lust with these and love how well they work with this little paisley dress.

You Came In With Your Wrecking Balls...Then I Kicked Them.

Sometimes I see an outfit that kind of isn't me but the colors and textures completely draw me in and I snap it up.  This outfit from Gizza did just that.  It was the meld of blue and aqua and sparkle that said buy me.  It's called 'Rich and Famous' and is definitely not for the faint of heart fashion wise.  I remembered only just purchasing this teal make up tattoo (lips and eyes) from Lovely Mi and was thrilled to have found something flashy to wear with it.   The dress has ostrich feathers with a silver spikes poking out and a silver fringe belt that drapes down each leg.

I don't even remember buying these great heels called 'Missy' from Slave.  They come with a hud that allows 7 texture color changes so you can wear the shoes in lots of combinations.  Aren't they scrumpalicious?  Someone on my flickr page made a comment when I posted a shot of some other shoes that they were having a shoegasm.  I think thats exactly what I have constantly with all the fabulous shoes available these days.

I purchased the cute silver clutch and precious stone bracelet from Chop Zuey Couture.  The other bracelet is from NC Paris.  I found this great hair style at Vanity Hair called 'Ladyboy'.  There you go Ramonzita, I really am a lady boy now.  Speaking of which, she/he's gone quiet.  Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing actually but like a fart under a doona, it will escape eventually.  Still selling ripped shapes on Marketplace under the name of Ramitachica so is still among us.  Whatever you call yourself, you'll always be just plain RAMBO to me dear.

I took these pictures at an amazing sim called 'Dead Pool'.  I have a weird fascination for anything derelict, particularly amusement parks, so this was right up my alley.  I think it goes way back into childhood when clowns scared the bejesus out of me as did the game where you put ping pong balls in the clowns mouth as their head turned.  When in SL and visiting derelict amusement parks of which there have been a few over the years, it seriously takes me right back to being a kid but isn't that why we like scarey movies?  It challenges our fears.

Sexy In The City...Literally.

Sometimes it's the simplest of pieces that catches your eye because of the material or colors.  That is what this cute item from Graffitiwear called 'Skyscraper Bare Shoulder Jumpsuit' did for me.  I loved the geometry of the pattern emulating city skyscraper's and the shades of black and grey with splashes of red.  It's such a clever and well thought out piece of tailoring.

I decided to pop on some knee length leggings in grey from Art Decade which are equally well made with subtle folds and creases that add authenticity.

I wanted bold jewellery to compliment the bold pattern and headed over to Chop Zuey Couture Jewellery who are renowned for such things.  I found a smart earring and necklace set called 'Chasing Windmills' along with the 'Black Ice' bracelet (camera left) and cute as can be clutch called 'Feu Follet'.  I downsized the purse some to a more petite size.

I adore Paper Couture's hair called 'Slicked Parted Hair Bun' in Blond.  So sleek and elegant.  I wish they would do more hair because every style I've ever purchased has that real authentic model look.  Not too prissy or over-done and allows the clothing to take center stage.

I'm in total shoe lust with everything produced at Just Designs and found these platform thongs called 'Infra' in black.  I say 'thongs' because I'm an aussie but I think the rest of the world calls them flip flops if I'm not mistaken?  To me they're drool worthy as is every row of shoes my eyes gaze upon.  Look at the little 'JD' logo on the strap and delicate silver anklet...tickle me pink til Tuesday, I LOVE these.

Standing in the serene surroundings of the 'Cyprian Garden', I couldn't be more happy with the look I created around the zany little jump suit from Graffitiwear.
