Stairway To Somewhere.

I think Chalice is the picture of femininity which florals seems to bring out in women.  Subjective I know, but that's what I always think of when I see soft floral colors with flower adorned hair.

I found this dress on my travels at Leri Miles Designs and thought the color was eye catching and the epitome of all that is beautiful about spring.  Again, I scoured all my favorite haunts to find jewellery I was happy with.  I seriously labour with jewellery for some reason but I do find it important to feel right about the jewellery I pick.

 
I headed up the long stairway to see what was at the top and this was no mean feat in my new Gos Grace heels.

Half way up I stopped for a shot.  I love these bangles from C'est la vie that come in a set.  My bag is another color choice from the fat pack of Croire 'Chic Chain Clutches'.  I love the size of it and the hardware is delicate.

I'm wearing Diva hair called 'Diva 2' complete with flowers which was a 30,000 group member celebration gift that is still available at the store if you join the group.  I love the sweet 'Sakura' necklace from Bliensen and MaiTai.  After walking up all these stairs, let me tell you I was ready for a Mai Tai.

In closing, I need more Plurk friends so if you need another one, FRIEND ME?  To be honest, I can't work out how to find SL people to send a friend request...yes, I know, I'm challenged.

Life's A Beach And Then You Fly...Because You Outstayed Your Welcome.

When I saw this gorgeous top and lacy shorts made by Leri Miles Designs the other day at The Garage Designer Fair 2013, the soft lemon tones called to me LOUDLY.  I thought they would work well together and grabbed them.  I do love yellow hue's as they make me happy and this whole outfit is one big smile for me.  The earrings are from Eskimo Fashions and are actually peacock feathers but I thought they looked like fish bones.  I remembered seeing them there and given I chose a beach location, thought 'go on, get them'.

The off the shoulder top is hemmed with a polka dotted material featuring a cute bow made up of blues, reds, greens and browns which gives you license to accent those colors in your accessories although I remained with different tones of lemon.  The lace shorts are so feminine in my opinion...sexy, sexy lace.

Now this is the sad part...the sheer hose and bag I purchased in separate fat packs just before Emily Kaestner closed her in-world shop Croire; however, here's the link to her Marketplace store.  The bag is so dainty and the other colors in the fat pack are equally endearing.

Now the shoes I purchased from GOS.  Called 'Ursula Wedges', they are sublime and close up you really get to appreciate the work all those little shoe makers do.  I imagine them all lined up in a row being beaten by Gospel Voom screaming 'work faster'.  Only joking, I'm sure he only gently reprimands them if the production line slows up a little.  Seriously, I know I wax lyrical about lots of things and I'm genuine when I do it, but I did let out an audible OMG when I cammed in close.

In the background, I can't work out if it's a kind of Christmas decoration for fishermen or the floats on fishing nets but they're mighty fancy balls.  This was shot at Salt Water, a really brilliant location for picture taking and relaxing at the sea side.  I spent exactly two hours laying on a hammock type thing that sits out over the water listening to the tunes and waves.  I think I spied other people waiting for a turn but first in, first served, even if I did out stay my welcome.

Oh gawd, the bill just came in....they charge by the minute for use of the lounging equipment.  Aww just tricking ya.
