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.

Street Cred.

Today I've got something a little different.  Cha's got down and urbanized in an outfit entirely from Envious. This store offers incredible value for money as many of the items come complete in the folder including accessories.

This look is called 'Lost Ourselves' which incorporates the razor sliced jumper, jeans, belt, gun, holster and authentic looking chucks.  There is also finger tape and a leg bandana which is not worn. This is street wear at its best.

The hair and beanie is a great match for this look and comes from [JP]:dsg called 'Jimmy'.  I'm a big [JP] fan because everything I've purchased there has exceeded my expectations and simply works when I put it on.

I found these 'Mad Clown' earrings from Glow Studio and the chains are from Mandala.

The slits in the jumper are a great addition and I wore this cute 'Bollywood Bag' from Kari.

Whether you're on a budget or not, Envious definitely has something for everyone at such affordable prices.  This is a seriously well put together quality outfit from top to bottom.  The jumper is mesh but the jeans are not and have prim bottoms but they match so well you can't distinguish them from the actual pant which is good tailoring in my opinion.

You're So Cheeky.

Its not always in SL that tight shorts work well with the body but I found these mesh leather Ani Hotpants at Ducknipple and just loved the studs, ring and zipper.  I mean if your zip breaks in these, you're in trouble although Cha would be ok because she vajazzle's.

I didn't know quite where I was going with the look until I found this freebie group gift lace poncho at Boudoir.  It was originally a cream color but I changed the color to black.

Another freebie group gift were the Pony Girl Boots also from Boudoir.  See my horse shoe?  I felt the need for protection, so popped on the gun and holster from the 'Lost Ourselves' outfit by Envious.

The ripped socks are from DeeTaleZ.  Now remember I've already said they do great tights, stockings and socks.

The hair is a combination of a hair base called Malaysian Lace Cap from Eskimo Fashions and a hair from Diva called Miu.  I think they work well together, especially from the back.

I'm also wearing my favorite ever gloves from Celoe and the Snake Skin Clutch from Cherry.  The cross earrings are new in at Mandala called Ero Sensei.

So if you see me out and about in this outfit, please don't yank the chain on my shorts because god knows what you'll see.

"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?
