Spring Into Spring

Ladies Who Lunch (LWL) is celebrating spring with a new collection and I couldn't resist this stunning blazer and shorts set in Spring Green that became available after their Fashion Show with Avenue on Sunday (31st March).  There are 150 new pieces created by LWL so we won't be short of impeccable fashion to bring in the new season.

 
The boots shown are also from LWL called Sascha Wedges in Bouquet.

This outfit comes in a huge array of pastel colors...so go check it out.

Purple Passion Baby...Oh Yeah

This look started with the gorgeous silky Artisan shorts from TokiD and grew from there.  Wandering the store, I picked up the cool scarf, boho rucksack and hair flower, then found the singlet top at Pink BuBBIEs.

The rucksack worn on the shoulder is amazing.  Brilliant job with this piece Maya Toki-Doki (cute name).

Take a trip to TokiD and prepare yourself for some fabulous fashion.

Another Lunch With The Ladies.

Another post featuring items from Ladies Who Lunch, a brand I so adore.  The shorts, the mini leather jacket and the shoes are fantastic designs from Faint Paulse who certainly has her finger on the pulse of what we love.

I want to particularly thank Truth Hair (Truth Hawks designer) for consistently furnishing us with brilliant, quality hair.  Standing in his shop the other day, I looked around at row upon row of amazing styles and whenever I buy them, I'm never, ever disappointed.  I swear he'd make a merkin look fabulous. Sorry, I just love that word and from the moment I knew what it was, always try to parlay that into a sentence.

Come Look At My Pink Bits!

Desperate for some blogging material, I hit the shops for inspiration.  I immediately thought of 'Ladies Who Lunch' as I hadn't been there for a while and it is always a place that inspires the imagination.  I'm so glad I did because I found the fabulous skirt, shoes and necklace there.  The skirt is stunning in dusky pink with delicate ruffles.

Always up for some Les Petits Detail (LPD) action, I found the little knit top and gorgeous clutch purse there.  Just as I was styling, Vanity Hair sent out a message about their new hair release called 'Love After War' and I raced to grab it.  Must say I'm happy with the whole look.

Bathed In Black.

What I most enjoy about fashion is the fact that rules are made to be broken.  Like wearing a vintage style bathing cap with a formal gown.  How can you not feel fabulous strutting your stuff with all eyes turned in your direction in awe of your chutzpah.  I found this layered black number in Aleida called 'Perry Frilled Temptation' and I love the aesthetic of the expanding layers.  I hitched the skirt up a bit to show case the lofty 'Pretender' heels in Lime from Ladies Who Lunch.  It was then I spied the 'Couture Bathing Cap' and thought "Chalice you must cross pollinate Ladies Who Lunch with Aleida" to create this look.

  
I so love the cap with a gazillion bows and the vividness of the green is ever so beautiful and reminds me of a well manicured lawn.  I also popped into Miamai for some 'Rainbow Warriors Green' lashes and added la vie eye liner tattoo in Pistachio from Label Mode for even more green drama.

Don't you just love the heights we can reach in styling something unique from the many talented designers in world?  Who ever said SL is fashionably dead?  The uninspired that's who!.

I'm Dishy Cause I'm Dressed By Jack Spoon.

Hey Diddle Diddle...today I'm focusing on two tops from the label 'Jack Spoon'.  The designer is well known blogger of the fabulous Pratukessaibas,.Steffy Ghost.

Get a load of this cute as can be top called 'Polka Moused'.  Immediately I fished out my 'Captain Mouse Helmet' from Ladies Who Lunch'.  Fortunately for me and my need to accessorize, the helmet is modifiable so I set about changing the colors to really make it mine.

Now I bring you look two wearing the 'Santana' top from Jack Spoon.  WOW what can I say.  It so, so, so ME.  The colors are splendid and its not often you see such fine texturing and vividness.  I went to town shopping for accessories and found this 'Friendo' necklace again from Miel.  It comes with a HUD that allows you to personalize the message.  Because I'm so forgetful, I put my name on it.  The beads and fine leather straps are a wonderful touch and this is as realistic as you get in SL. 

I found this lovely heart necklace called 'Boom Boom Pendant' from Label Mode.  Cheap too.  I kept searching until I found this fab bag and bracelet at Emery both with great blue tones.  I say if you can't find it at Emery, it just ain't made yet..

I enjoyed my shop-a-thon styling these outfits all built around my two new Jack Spoon tops which I adore.  Great work Ms Steffy.  I can't wait to see more...watch this space.

Without doubt, this has been the most labor intensive post I've ever written purely by the fact that the search capability in SL is totally flawed.  It has literally taken me forever to get the LM's for this post.  LL please do SOMETHING.

I'm A Lady Who Lunches.

Sometimes you purchase one item because you love it and then wonder, 'what am I going to do with this'? I've been sitting on this OTS Tutu in mint from Ladies Who Lunch for ages because I knew it would take a bit of effort to style given the item only consisted of the prim Tutu and nothing else. Regardless, I hoped that if I could sift through my stuff and find something I liked to go with it, I might achieve a one off look that I was satisfied with.

I rather like what I've thrown together which come from a few different sources. Unlike a normal tutu that sits on the waist, this delight is asymmetrical and travels around one shoulder sort of like a crazy sash that Miss Universe/World would receive. I loved the mint color but it is available in a good selection of other color options. Great job to the ladies who make things for the Ladies Who Lunch

I remembered the Rare headpiece from LaGyo I purchased the other day because I loved the huge ribbon effect. I simply can't get enough of hats and hairpieces and LaGyo has some stunners.

I've been enjoying all the mesh products on the feeds but am loathe to download V3 just yet when V2 is actually working for me. I might become mesh-ified when I get my new super-dooper fast computer.

Grey And Red Ain't Dead.

Out on one of my shopping expeditions a while back, I stopped by Gato and immediately noticed the pattern on this dress called 'Vogue'. Not only did the pattern speak to me in a seductive tone saying 'come on Chal, buy me you tight arsed cow', I loved the fire engine red shirt insert at the bodice. Because I'm 150 foot tall in SL, the dress was a tad short so I added grey leggings from Oyakin for decency's sake.

I purchased the Lap Top bag in fire brick red from LeLutka a while ago waiting to add it to something and brought it out of moth balls for this outfit. I am in TOTAL love with the Ladies Who Lunch label (LWL) of Faint Paulse. I grabbed the Alejandro headdress and Gaga glasses from LWL so quickly I broke a nail. Lucky for me, my Pixel Mode sculpted nails grow very quickly.

No lungs were damaged in the making of this outfit. These cigarette's from Di's Opera Fatale pose series are herbal.
