I'm Not Broken, Just Bent.

I'm sitting here along with my little poodle completing this post with the faint rumbling of thunder in the background and the soft sprinkling of rain.  Rather nice after quite a few days of hot weather.

I love my look today.  I was sifting through my inventory and because I've been missing in action a bit lately, feel a bit out of the loop.  But I did find this dress sent from Chocolat called 'Lilou', then I remembered the bag I purchased from Stefan Garcia that I've wanted to blog for ages.  I found a set of fabulous scarves from Redgrave and wore the 'Arabic' one for this look.

I did a bit of Vanity Hair shopping and this is one of my favorites called 'Bitter Sweet' in the color Essence.  Mz Jewell really does come up with some inspiring designs and is very generous with her discounts each week not to mention her group freebies.

The brand ASO sent out some flower broaches to bloggers a little while back and thought I would wear the beige color for some extra prettiness.  Me likie!

The dress has beautiful folds and drapes long at the back.  It's a mullet dress lol.

The bag is adorable girls and can be worn in the hand or on the arm.  I love it when bag designers give you various options.

These cute boots are from Envious called 'Domino Heels' and I've been waiting to find the right outfit to show case them. They look ever so comfy.

My blogging may be a bit spasmodic for a little while as I'm sick at the moment and will be having surgery possibly in the first week of January.  I thought it may have been next week but am relieved to at least have Christmas without the side effects of the surgery impinging on my partying which will include copious amounts of food and cocktails. The only thing good about surgery are those few short moments when you are aware of your body floating on air and you're all warm and happy.  Unfortunately it lasts but a second and then you wake up with the pain....urgh.  Do any of you who have had surgery try to stay awake as long as you can?  I do.

The Orange Ladybird.

You'll need to put on your shades for this look sweeties.  It's a bright fun look from Living Imagination called 'Sweet Rain' in Orange Ladybird.  I loved the coat that drapes long at the front but tapers up short at the back and covers the head to keep your hair dry.  I decided to pop on my group gift hat from C'est la vie called 'Pretty Big Fedora'.

I again visited EarthStones and purchased a necklace called 'Neisha' in Tigers Eye. 

I found this Vogue bag at Solidea Folies which can be worn on the arm or in the hand.

The star studded boots are from ShuShu called 'Trafo' and are amazing in their detail.

I just looked at the long range weather forecast and its not looking too good for my birthday party on Saturday.  Damn Melbourne weather.  Four seasons in one day is oh so true.

Curtsy To The Princess.

Long time no SLee.  I've been busy, busy, busy in RL but squeezed in this post 'cause I miss you.  Yes YOU!  Today I've got a look that emanated from the gorgeous pink 'Princess' jacket I found at LaRosa Virtual World Fashion.  You'll see where the princess comes in with the next shot.  I found myself at Little Bones a short time later and found the fabulous pink and orange 'Ombra Tote' and that was it, I merged pink and orange for my look.  I also found the super fantastic 'Elise' leggings at Little Bones and basically fell over myself purchasing them knowing I had myself a dynamic little outfit.

The hair I purchased from sYs Designs called 'Otess' and wore the orange option.  I'm not quite sure what the thing is on top of the head but love it just the same.

I found this great top to wear under the jacket from Insaya called 'Ripped Lycra and Red Bra'.

What I really loved about the jacket apart from the stunning quality was the diamond studded princess crown at the back.  You know what they say, if the jacket fits and all that.  Yes there's an element of princess in me and I certainly wouldn't mind a piece of Prince Harry, after all, we've matching hair.

I sincerely do love these heels called 'Deborah' from Redgrave and used the color change hud to match them with the jacket.  My earrings and necklace are called 'Zahra' in Amber from EarthStones.  I hadn't visited there for a while and was mightily impressed by their wonderful selection.

Oh my rezz day came and went and I totally forgot about it.  My RL birthday is in two weeks and I'm having a party.  About 40 people, some I haven't seen in ages so it should be a great night if the weather holds.  I've put my order in for 30℃ (86℉) with no wind.  The cocktails will be flowing so if its crappy weather I'll just drink more and hopefully not even care.  Last year my beautiful mum died 4 days before my birthday. Needless to say it was a horrible day so I'll have to party twice as hard because that's what mum would want me to do...but not to the point of getting messy lol.

Nardcotix Takes Over Second Life.

Nardya Rousselot makes stunning shoes., there's absolutely no disputing that.  How lucky are we that she has expanded her Nardcotix label to include the most amazing dresses and hats on the grid.  I spied them at Modavia Fashion Week and was utterly impressed with what I saw but when I received them one morning when I logged on (thanks Nardya x), upon closer inspection on Chal's body, well they are even more beautiful than in the pictures.  Her talents in millinery are unrivaled in my opinion and I take great pleasure in showcasing her work.

I'm In The Mode For Elymood - Doh - That's Elymode.

Wooo hooo. Elymode has received a face lift and to mark the occasion, Elysium Eilde has new releases, gifts, limited release items and in-world-group exclusives.

In these pics, I'm wearing pieces from the Dulce De Leche set. Ely had a vision of this cream and caramel version of the existing set of bright, sugary colors that is now only available until the 26th of August. Never fear, this delicious cream/caramel set is perfect for autumn and as you can see, the options are endless.

I do have some other Elymode loveliness to bring you when I can. Ely creates the best textures. It's almost like she has a silkworm farm in the backyard producing the finest fabrics. Do you Ely? Do you?

What are you wearing Chalice?

I'm wearing LeLutka skin, Lamb hair, Elymode clothes, Maitreya Gold shoes, J's nail polish, Exodi earrings and necklace, Sey scarf, rings from Flirt and Earthstones, Baiastice sneakers, Miel hair flowers
