Softly Does It.

G'day darlings.  Just before I completed this post I went to the American Cancer Society's memorial gardens in SL to place a candle and lay some flowers for Squinternet.  I'm ashamed to say I didn't know it existed but what a wonderful place to remember those who have departed this world and SL.  So many faces lined the walls but how lovely that one can visit them to reminisce.

Today I've put together a soft casual look in beige and coral tones.  I actually purchased the pants a little while ago from NuDoLu and kept them aside to blog when I found a top that I liked.  I found it at Collabor88 as ur.favorite.one's contribution called 'Steal My Boyfriend's Shirt'.

I remembered my recent purchase of this bag from Zenith and thought it would work well.  I'm loving these bangles from Je Suis called 'Vintage Bangles' and they're color change to boot.

I love these unique pants called 'Pantalon antique de mamie' in Beige.

The shoes are from Faenzo called 'Eleganza' and are designed to wear with Slink Womens Medium Rigged Barefeet (the tippy toe ones).  Aren't they gorgeous?  You can find Faenzo's products on Marketplace.

Well I had an early winner for my Cha's Flash Fash Cash Comp who identified herself and kindly asked me to donate the $1000L prize money to a charity.  I chose The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) where you can donate at Gos shoes.  Thank you so much AnneJoy, that was lovely of you.  Stay tuned for another round real soon.

Quirky Casual.

During my recent shopping trip to NuDoLu, I found this unusual top in the most lovely muted tones and Aztec design pattern.  I'm always looking for something different and a bit quirky when styling for my posts because my fashion tastes lean that way in RL.  While I adore black, my RL wardrobe is an eclectic mix of colors with loads of accessories such as hats, scarves, gloves and heaps of costume jewelery.  I find when I'm feeling insecure, I turn to black but when I'm on top of my game, my colors come out. 

I found the striking head piece while trawling through Marketplace from Lode called 'Bittersweet'.  I re-colored it to match the minty tones of the top and so appreciate when hats or hair adornments are modifiable so I can coordinate it with my clothing.  The hair is a new release from Truth called 'Qopi' and the falling curls at the side are very flattering and soft around the face.

The mesh tunic top comes with an array of colored tops to wear underneath and I chose the mint.  I remembered my lace cycling pants from Fishy Strawberry and felt they would work well color wise.

 
I found this great bag at NuDoLu and love the hint of mint.  My bracelet and watch set in rose gold is from Glow Studio.

I found these gorgeous shoes at Redgrave called 'Deborah'.  They come with 12 color options using the hud and are just perfection in my opinion.  I so want these in RL.

Here's the look from a distance.  I am so pleased to have found NuDoLu and designer Neuilles Neuman.  I will certainly be keeping a close eye on that label and future releases.

I'm on location at Watchtower, specifically in an area called 'Nykio's Home' which is open to the public.  Pretty sim...go check it out.

Do You NuDoLu? You Really Should.

"I love my outfit...I love my outfit" she sings joyfully as she finds yet another new favorite store.  NuDoLu, remember that name and go shop sweeties.  I found this ever so cute mesh jumper and lace skirt outfit called 'Grande Tunique' in apricot.  You can wear it with the rose pattern as I have or just plain as both options are provided in the purchase.

I think the pattern is so lovely and the juxtaposition of woolen jumper with delicate lace skirt is quite unique.

I went to my favorite scarf shop, Zeerys, and found this lovely silk textile scarf in the tone Golden Leopard. My sweet clutch is a great find from Just Design Fashion Store called 'Hearty' in Sand.  My hair is from Ison called 'Leighton', a swept up messy up do that frames the face and shows off my 'Berlioz' orange earrings from DeLa.

  
I found another great location called 'Aear' for picture taking.

The cool boots are also from NuDoLu and I had to have them for this outfit.
