If You Leave Me, Can Me And My New Dress Come Too?

I love a good, quality freebie and this dress called 'Froufrou In Bloom' designed by Maylee Oh from The Secret Store is no exception.  You can purchase it at Modavia 11 where The Secret Store has a, well store.  You just need to join the Modavia Marketing Group - click on the sign in front of the dress.  Click on the dress and it's yours...for FREE.  And babies, it's a great dress.  Vibrant, well constructed with a gorgeous leather belt, its a versatile addition to your collection.  I'd pay for it in a blink of an eye but, it's FREE.

I did a bit of skin shopping too and couldn't resist Emilia Redgrave's new Pale skin called Bella.  Seriously great value at only $1490L for 10 skins, prim and tattoo teeth, 6 lipstick colors, eyes, lashes, breast minimizer and some jewelery thrown in for good measure.  I've always been partial to a Redgrave skin and I love Bella on Cha.  Look at my cute little Bucky Beaver's - teeth don't ya know.

I had to bring out my beloved Leverocci 'Paccai Sock shoes in Oil' ($800L) with color change socks.  Tell me these aren't amazing?  I think they look great with my 'Criminal Tights' from Nemesis ($130L).

The Wood bangle and choker is a gift from Fishy Strawberry and the watch is from Cashmere and Keane for $80L.  The ring you see was included with the Bella skin.  I am loving this new do from LeLutka called 'Wilde' ($269L) shown here in the Marilyn color.  I thought I'd seen nearly everything from Thora Charron but her hair just keeps on thrilling me and the 'Sekai' floral barrette from Indyra Originals suits this style so well (I think this was a giftie from the Modavia 11 sim but my memory is dim).

Quite a while ago, I discovered the fabulous eye-wear at primOptic and I purchased 'Celeste' ($299L).  You can wear them on the nose or head, color the frames and change the opacity of the lenses.  Stunning glasses and a range to make your head spin.  My old faithful sculpted nails are from Pixel Mode ($300L) and while I have an inventory full of nails, I never take these off.  My bag is made by Fancy Scrabbleblat but her profile is hidden so I can't give a link to a store. Eyes ($150L)  from Fashism.

Nardcotix Takes Over Second Life.

Nardya Rousselot makes stunning shoes., there's absolutely no disputing that.  How lucky are we that she has expanded her Nardcotix label to include the most amazing dresses and hats on the grid.  I spied them at Modavia Fashion Week and was utterly impressed with what I saw but when I received them one morning when I logged on (thanks Nardya x), upon closer inspection on Chal's body, well they are even more beautiful than in the pictures.  Her talents in millinery are unrivaled in my opinion and I take great pleasure in showcasing her work.

At Home With Chal

I really am loving the ability to muck around on my own land. Not that I have any prims left after the house, the landscaping, the waves, the prim water, the furniture blah, blah, blah. Just having the owners rights to have a security orb, set my own music, tv station and all the other things I've never had the opportunity to do is fun. I like hanging around the house when I have the time and going through my inventory unearthing stuff I'd forgotten I had. Like a lot of you, one of my most favorite things to do is put together looks from the bizarre to the banal. Using pieces from all different designers and seeing how they come together is great fun and lets me be the stylist I secretly want to be.

Not everything has to be out there and elaborate. I like to create casual looks for Chalice and using the house as a backdrop, I put together a simple but quirky outfit ready to go out with the girls shopping and for a bite of lunch.

Unfortunately the girls were late again and Chalice was left waiting. You know how it is, you go from room to room and chair to chair wondering where the hell are they.

Yeah they eventually arrived. A week later. Those hunts can take forever.
