Wanna See My Pom Pom's?

I love dresses and I love even more that with the introduction of mesh, dresses have improved out of sight.  This gorgeous number I picked up at ArisAris called 'Red and Black Pom Poms' but I'm kicking myself because it was only after taking the pics that I realised it came with a red necklace and a feathered belt.  I do apologise to ArisAris that I was so stupid and did not represent their dress in its entirety.  Regardless, I still adore it, particularly the material texture that resembles heavy thick woven linen.  Because I'm a leggings lover, I popped on these 3/4 length one's from Gawk.

I'm wearing another favorite hair from Tableau Vivant called 'Campbell'.  It comes with an extension for an even fuller look but I haven't shown it here.

The bag was a great pick up from Revanche called 'Gina's Glock Clutch' that has gun emblem's on the front.  I purchased it on Marketplace because I was running out of time to get this look blogged.  As you know, I'm a great supporter of actually visiting shops in-world to keep them there and not exclusively selling on Marketplace.

 
The stunning bracelets and watch I purchased from Gizza called 'Asia' and the detailing is wonderful to see close up. 

I found these fab shoes at Essenz called 'Paris' in Red.  The detailing is magnificent; however, I did have to fiddle around with them a lot so that they fit my leg perfectly but well worth the trouble for shoes of this caliber.  They come with blender socks but I'm really rubbish at skin matching but got there in the end and this fixed the issue I had with the seam of the leg showing.

 
My pics are taken at a beautiful sim called 'Reflections of Beauty' and know you will love it for photo taking as I did.

Why So Blue?

Actually I am a bit blue, as in I'm feeling the blues.  I offered to look after my best friends dog for the day and he killed a pigeon in my garden.  The pigeon kind of got stuck in my pond so I rescued it and it flew away, or so I thought.  Next thing, my bf's dog had the poor darling bird in its mouth.  It was dead so there was a small comfort that I didn't have to nurse it whilst it died.  I hate it when things like this happen in my haven.  I did give the pigeon a burial and said a few words but I can't help but think a pigeon is looking for its mate right now.  God here I go again crying.....I know its all part of the grand plan but I tend to feel things like this so deeply.

Sniff, sniff...on to the fashion.

My look today is a flowery, spring top and pants from Revanche, a shop situated at Fi*Friday and the Promenade sim.  I'm a sucker for soft, powdery blue as a color so couldn't pass this sweet top that reminds me of shabby chic material that Rachel Ashwell would covet.

I purchased the fat pack of Glam Affair's 'Amberly Petal Edition' skins because they are so dynamic and the one I'm wearing is called 'Butterfly'.  I know I'll be wearing these in many future posts.

My name is Chalice and I'm a Mandala-holic.  Yes, somehow I found myself at the store again snapping up this and that.  Shown are the 'Anuttra' rings and 'Soul' necklace.  Is there help for me?  Maybe I should follow a self exclusion process and give the owner my picture so I can be ejected if I can't resist another shopping trip?

I brought out my 'Lolita Espadrilles' from Gos for another airing.  I love these shoes so much and the hud is in my opinion, brilliant.  You click the link and it takes you to a vast list of skin makers in order to match the skin easily.  Very clever Gos.

Whilst looking on Flickr I found a gorgeous picture of the sim Ocho Tango and logged in to TP there straight away.  Its also the home of DaD Design.  These pics are taken there - its really beautiful so go take a look.

Hope you all have an awesome day.
