Shut Up And Type.

Today I've put together a little number for the professional and is what I wear to work in RL.  I couldn't believe finding this gorgeous mesh skirt at CIA Designs because I have one similar in my wardrobe and almost the same jacket.  What we don't share is the fact that Chalice is over 6ft and reed thin...if only I looked as good as this.  Oh well we can't have everything :-)

The bag I picked up at Just Designs called 'Cassandra' and is perfect for carrying all your necessities such as mobile phone, the latest copy of Vogue and your camera, all subtlety on display in the bag.  JD's brand logo is becoming as important to me in SL as LV is in my real life.  My newly purchased LV Neverfull is one of the highlights of my year.  I can't work out if that's a sad reflection on me or that I appreciate beautiful things.

Search and ye shall find certainly rang true when I found this 'Ava' jacket in my very disorganized inventory.  I knew I was keeping it for something special.  Beautifully cut and I love the high slip of a waist belt.

Now the shoes are what I have been coveting from Just Designs for a week now.  Called 'Excess' they are so, so, so, so perfect in every way.  I love that you can change the heel and sole colors to match your outfits via the hud.

  
The necklace, earrings and bracelet (camera left) are gorgeous pieces from Pure Poison, while the watch is from 7891.

A Date With Bogart.

I felt like creating some old world glamor but with a little twist.  I found this stunner of a mesh dress in a gorgeous eggplant color and animal patterned vibrant print panels running down the sides from CIA Designs, a store I was unfamiliar with.  When I spotted it I thought the cut was so elegant but the streaks of color transformed it from your average long gown.  I accessorized using the lime green to accentuate the splashes of color.

The bag is such a good match and I was happy to find it at the Alexandra Sautereau Collection.

The hair is from Paper Couture fittingly named 'Bacall Bob'.

The earrings and bracelets are from Mandala.  I love the silhouette of this dress, very classic but with a modern feel.

I took these pics at 'Ghostsville', a great sim for photo taking.
