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.

Make Mine A Flirtini Please.

Today I've got a cute casual outfit and I've been dying to blog these fantastic jeans from [JP]:dsg for ages.  One of the best pair of jeans I've found in SL because of the smart details such as mobile phone, keys and handkerchief poking out of the back pocket.  Don't you love it when designers go the extra mile and strive for realism?  I know I appreciate it.

I have a love affair with Diva hair.  Its the realistic wispy windswept look of many of their styles that capture my attention.  This style is 'Sayaka 3' in Moonstone.

I wearing the 'Steampunk Open Secrets' necklace and earrings from Pixel Box.  I love it because you can put your photo in the locket and really personalize it.

 
The top is called 'Flirtini' from Mon Cheri.  I like the fact that while it's cropped, my boobs aren't visible.  I must admit, I don't like that look at all.  Its like the dress maker ran out of material lol.

Now tell me these aren't great looking jeans?  You can change the colors of the accessories or wear them dirty or clean.  I chose dirty cause Chalice doesn't wash...she throws out her clothes after she wears them.

The bangles and watch are from 7891 called 'Aurbierre'.  Its a really chunky over sized set of jewellery that looks great.

This is the 'Garbo Clutch' from Little Petits Details.  God they made great bags. 

I wonder if other bloggers experience my dilemma?  While I love to go shop at all the big events, I tend to stay away because I know by the time I blog the items, other bloggers will have beat me to it and the feeds will be full of the same stuff.  I really strive to feature items I find on my travels that perhaps haven't been blogged, yet I always feel I'm missing out on some fabulous fashion.  I guess you can't be everywhere and do everything eh?

I notice that the 32 official Miss Virtual World candidates have been named for 2014.  Good luck girls because you're going to need it.  It's a marathon undertaking but well worth the experience.  May I be so bold as to say "GO MISS AUSTRALIA"?    I notice that Miss Averil Resident (Miss USA) is chronicling her journey of Miss Virtual World on her blog 'The Lovely World Of SL Modeling', so you might be interested to get the perspective of what it takes from someone in the competition.

Praise The Poppy.

Woo hoo.  Back from Sydney after a wonderful few days and am ready to bring you more SL loveliness from my favorite designers.  Today is no exception as I feature one of my dearest fashion houses, Little Petits Details.

I purchased this cracker of a dress called 'Spring Dress Blue' featuring beautiful red poppies.  Wear with or without the vest, it is again strong in details such as the layer upon layer pointy skirt wonderfully textured as is all of LPD's outfits.

I popped on some red lace leggings from [JP]:gsd for extra flair and found the stunning flower head piece at Natural.

The red clutch is called 'Zodiac' from Alexandra Sautereau Collection Utility where you will find a seriously excellent collection of bags and clutches.

Thanks LPD for keeping us utterly beautiful.

Cut Me And I Will Bead.

I just had to share one of my most favorite outfits in a long time from the label [JP]:dsg.  I purchased this quite some time ago, maybe a month or more and forgot to put it on.  When I did...well...I was so impressed that I have stayed up to blog it.  Called 'Malia', it is a work of art and comes with the necklace and beading around the bottom of the jumper dress.   The lace leggings can be worn black or in white. OMG I love it.

Look at that gorgeous belt and beading treatment and to boot, all of it can be resized.  Divine.

The bag I picked up at House of Fox called 'Roman Bag' in Rusted Teal.  My Bliensen and MaiTai 'Eurydike' earrings were just the thing to match the necklace.  I added two hair pieces for this look.  The brownish floral barrette is called 'Sekei' from Indyra Orignals and the black lace headdress is called 'Dakini' from Miamai.  I just threw on both and loved the effect.

I popped on my Fabric Platforms that are add-on's from Slink and my look is complete.  If I do say so myself, I'm loving this to bits.

Now the hair I purchased at Lotus called 'Celia'.  I really love the edginess of it and felt it an unusual cut for SL.  See, look and ye shall find.

Hey, Hey, It's Nearly Bandana Day!

I knew it!  I knew it!  The creators and designers who contributed to Bandana Day in aid of Wigs For Kids have outdone themselves this year.  For those who don't know, it's Bandana Day tomorrow (Sunday 29th July) and that means take off your fabulous hair and whip on a fabulous bandana purchased exclusively from Hair Fair 2013.  At only $50L a bandana, I'm sure you can stretch the budget to purchase a few knowing that every cent will contribute to providing wigs for kids in need.

Here are a few of my favorites created by the talented people behind SL Fashion Passion blog, Zaara, Virtually Dressed blog, LeLutka, OhMai and Mel Vanbeeck.

I wanted to mention my jumper, shirt and leggings that I recently purchased from a store I hadn't heard of before called JP:dsg,  The designer, Jasper Potez has some amazing items and these pieces are no exception.  The jumper is simply unreal.  You know when you purchase something and you aren't sure how it'll look and then when you pop it on you just love it?  This was one of those times.

Anyway sweeties...PLEASE go get some bandana's and show the world how beautiful you are without your hair.

Summer Lovin'

I know I've seen this outfit blogged before but to me, it deserves special recognition because I think its utterly fabulous and was sent to me by designer Magritta from Mags (loves) B.  She actually uses the sideways (V) and (3) to make a heart, but for some reason when I do this, it sends the rest of my typing into HTML so just imagine the name...I've given the link however.


What you receive with each purchase of your color choice is the bikini top, shorts, sandals, bag and sunglasses.  The colors are rust, purple and emerald.  They are just so sweet and I adore the Aztec design.

Here is the outfit shown in its completeness but thought I'd capture the three of them to show you the beautiful colors.

'RUST'

'EMERALD'

'PURPLE'

This is beachwear at it's best and I for one can't wait to go shopping at Magritta's store, whether inworld or at the Marketplace.

Rust:
Hair is from a new shop to me called [JP]dsg.

Emerald:
Hair is from Diva.

Purple:
Hair is from Magika.

Skin used is all pics is Cleo from Glam Affair.
