I'm On Stripe.

I've had this striped shirt from Pichi for a little while and have been meaning to blog it. I really like the gold lapel studs and buttons.  I found these shades at Mon Tissue called 'Harlow Sunglasses' and the gold details picks up the gold on the shirt.

The bag I picked up at Boom called 'Studio Tote' and love the boxy style of it.  I went hunting in my inventory for hair and loved this curly do from W&Y.

I love the simplicity of these add-on Llena sandals from Slink.

Hands And Feet, Feet And Hands

I'm thrilled.  With the help of the amazing Siddean Munro from SLINK, my new feet match with the gorgeous Tuli skin I recently purchased.  Wouldn't you know I had the stockings layer on...duh!!  Anyway they are fabulous, wonderful, perfect. If you're contemplating buying the hands and feet, I urge you to go get them.  I couldn't be more happy with how they look.  I honestly say to you, if I can drive them, anyone can.  Look how pretty those hands are.

I've put together a little mix 'n' match outfit wearing my favorite BF Maitreya jeans AGAIN and a lovely floral top from TokiD. 

I found this treasure of a scarf at Mon Tissu along with the red satchel.

Chalice Loves Alice

Top of the mornin' to ya.  I've not long woken up for a beautiful autumn morning and the birds are chirping like mad.  To match my happy mood, I'm showing a sweet skirt, tank and belt set from my new found favorite store, Alice Blue.

This outfit is called 'Unicorn' shown in Green.  It's ever so pretty and I love the shape of the skirt (shown in the medium size) which maintains its integrity while moving and walking.

The shoes and hat are from Mon Tissu, one of my favorite labels in SL.

I'm wearing the SLINK hands with the Tuli Skin Applier.  A brilliant system but I can't seem to get the skin applier to work on my feet for some reason.  I'm sure you all are smarter than me and have had no trouble but moi, I annoy myself when I'm the only one who struggles with instructions.  OK, back to sorting it out but seriously folks, these hand and feet are awesome.

For the love of god, designers please, please, please put your updated store's LM in your profile picks....please.

I Waited...You Never Came.

Thrown back into the single world, my safe little life is a thing of the past.  My thoughts turn to the uncertainty of meeting new people and the fact that you never really know anyone...even those we truly think we do.  While the relationship with me is the best relationship I've ever had, I can't help but wonder what lay ahead.  Will my heart be broken again?  I will have to wait and see...

She waits...

And waits...

Wanna Be In My Harum?

Take a look at these gorgeous pants from Celoe called 'Yasmine' in the Regal tone.  Harum cut to the ankles, I love the drape that Celoe is renowned for.  I paired them with Azoury Les Boots Miliana which Lady GaGa would heartily approve of.

I also adore this Celoe Clara Corset top in Gloom.   Fits like a doctor's glove and shows the girls off for all they're worth.  I particularly love the fact that it is pinched at the waist and slightly flares are the hips.  STUNNING.

I also adore this simple do from Bliss Couture called 'Sinning' in Champagne tone.  Simple but very effective and perfectly flatters the face.

I donned the Straw Tote bag in Black from mon tissu.  A great GREAT bag let me tell you.

The jewellery is from Eclectica called 'Nouveau Leaves' with a color/size change hud providing a plethora of combinations.  Gorgeous pieces from the incomparable Tiffy Vella, who's imagination knows no bounds.

Pics were taken at Water Reserve where you will find emm shop and scribbled hearts.

Fifty Shades Of Grey...Shut That Book And Listen.

Am I the only one in the universe who hasn't read these yet?  When I was in hospital not so long back, all the patients were swapping around the book parts it resembled a library.  Regardless, I've stolen the name for my post title thanks to Ms. E. L. James. I love this little number I pulled together predominately from one of my favorite stores, mon tissu.

When I purchased the pleated skirt, gathered frill blouse and superb wool blend jacket, I wasn't sure how they would look together but  need not have worried because mon tissu just gets it RIGHT.  I mean look at the assembly of the woolen jacket with the pinched waist, over sized belt and perfect folds resting on the hips.  The cute shoes are also from mon tissu called Cottage Flats.

Look at that lovely shirt frill and flower decoration on the lapel called French Pouf.  What I loved most however, was the Traveler Bag also from mon tissu that has the most amazing detail  on it.   It's just so RIGHT.  Designer Elle Spot has certainly mastered quality fashion and perfectly engineered clothing pieces and I swear you have to go if you haven't already, although I can't imagine anyone who hasn't had the pleasure..

And I'd like to introduce my parrot called "Youidiot".  He does have a bit of trouble locating his stand and here he's contemplating a dip in the pool.  This is my new home called Modern One from Pre-Fabulous.  Just another in my massive home collection.  I love it guys and can't wait to see more in the future.

Yes I'm wearing the same designer but I still combined separates to form a great, classic outfit but with a modern touch.

Suddenly Single With Red Lips.

There's something quite powerful about a strong color accent placed strategically about the body.  I love the vivid red that lifts the grey to dramatic effect.  I scoured the grid for the right tights and finally settled on 'A3' Grey from 'Sheer' Stockings.  A great shop find that was.

I had a fun shopping trip to Mon Tissu at the Mayfair Sim and couldn't resist the 'Softest Cinch Cardigan' in grey and the 'Westbury Mini' in light grey.  Great combo together and I wasn't at all disappointed in the fit of both pieces. What you don't quite see (stupid me) is the clipped in waist at the back of the back tied with a fabulous knitted blow. Take a look at the amazing pockets and sleeve edging...magnifique.

  
How beautiful are these 'MANA Era Gator Peep Toe' shoes in fiery red from Nardcotix?  Are these not class personified?  The delicate gold super fine spiked heel could do serious damage in the wrong hands - think 'Single White Female' and like all things Nardcotix, have a fool proof menu to make your tootsies look their best.

As far as accessorizing goes, my favorite part of creating a look, I couldn't wait to bring out my recently purchased Tres Blah 'Haute' bag that has the most amazing woven material resembling jute.  The 'Lellani' corsage is from LaGyo, the necklace is 'Prayer Pearl' from Beatnick and earrings from Je Suis.
