Through The Sands Of Time, There's Zaara.

This is one of the most beautiful outfits I have ever shown on my blog in my opinion.  This post is exclusively a dedication to the wonderful designer, Zaara Kohime, who brings such quality, color and vivacity to SL.  Upon checking her profile, I see she is an Art Director/Illistrator and it certainly shows in every piece I've ever purchased from Zaara the label.  The outfit I'm wearing is called 'Syona Kurta' in Saffron.  It comes complete with tunic, scarf and pants.  Being this is a feature on Zaara, I chose the cute little flats called 'Ilaida Mojri' also in Saffron.

The stunning head jewellery is called 'Nizam Head Jewel' in Gold and the earrings are 'Nizam Jhumka' also in gold.

The stunning bracelets are called 'Atiriya' in carnelian gold.  I also added a turquoise bracelet called 'Vyomini' just because it's so beautiful.

Yep, my Slink hands look splendid and the nail appliers are the Glitter Set #1by Orc Inc.

 
Overall, Zaara has produced some kind of wonderful and I am in total LOVE with it.

While putting together this post, I have been listening to K.D. Lang's version of Hallelujah over and over and over.  I needed the soothing tones of her voice in my head tonight.  I am in love with her big time even though I've been crying for an hour torturing myself through the song...it resonates with me right now and its perhaps not the best thing to do.  Play songs that bring up emotions but hey, don't they say crying washes away the pain?

C'est la vie...Whatever Will Be Will Be

C'est la vie has just released a new ribbon belt skirt and I felt compelled to drop everything and create a style around the skirt.  Available in 6 delightful colors and patterns, the ultra feminine 'budding pink' was my choice.  I also found the soft pink scarf upstairs at C'est la vie and was happy to have purchased it because I love the match.

Now if I'd put down my tub of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, this whole process would have been much quicker but you see, I've just discovered it and can't believe you American's have hidden this from me until just recently.  I was a bit pouty tonight when I got to the shop that sells it and found my favorite peanut butter one was out of stock but settled on Phish Food instead.  But I digress....no actually, I've put it back in the freezer.

It's a lovely, lovely skirt and I did a bit of traveling around to style it. My limo driver made a few bucks tonight!

I found the bag at Little Petits Details called 'Geena' and I think its a sympathetic match to the skirt.  That shop really makes my jaw drop when I walk around.  It's almost too perfect and I mean that in a good way.

I found the pintuck T and Carnation Flats at Tram.  I knew I could count on them for finishing off the look.  The little flats are just so decorative with little carnation flowers on the front and back of the shoes.

I took these pics at {what's next}.  Is there a truly sweeter place than that sim?  There's just beauty at every turn and an abundance of photo opportunities.  I actually stayed there for ages because they have such peaceful music streaming I was nearly asleep.

I often wonder how many non-bloggers utilize the feeds and I hope its a lot of Second Lifer's.  I want to send out a warning to anyone, particularly new people to SL who may be shopping for shapes.  DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT shop at Ramonzita & Catastrophies INC (allegedly aka MissFedorova in SL) on Marketplace.  By her/his own admission, they are copybotted from known models in SL. Boycott the copybot at all costs.  Apart from the fact the unit is loony, racist, ageist, sexist and any other 'ist you can imagine, handing over a cent to this person is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG because someone else's hard work went into creating their SL visual identity and wacko here is trying to benefit from it.  I wanted to make mention of this because its wrong to assume that everyone knows the story behind this individual and may just stumble across these shapes on Marketplace without knowing the history.

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.

Opinions Are Like Nipples...Everyone Has Them But Some Are More Pointed Than Others.

Anyone for nachos?  Well they were certainly on the menu at Shopping Cart Disco's SLecrets this week.  Not that I have a clue what it means but it did give me a laugh.

I did something different yesterday in respect to my blog.  I applied to become a Hair Fair 2013 blogger.  I feel I want to give something back given I cover very little in the way of events although if we're talking $$$$$$$, I do give back rather generously across the grids lol.

Today I'm a goody in a hoody.  It's from Blitzed and while it's not mesh, who cares?  It fits bloody wonderful and has lots of terrific prim details to make it interesting.

My hair is from a shop I found called Tameless Hair.  I'd never heard of it before but I'm loving what I've purchased there. I'm very impressed with the quality and find the hair tattoo's so very realistic as a base for the attachments.

Earrings are from Pure Poison and the necklace from one of my new favorite shops, Pixel Box.  They're having a sale so don't be tardy...get in there and shop, shop, shop.

I'm really into good quality, unusual pants at the moment and found this pair from 20 FIVE called Jin Capri's.  Now you really get your money's worth because it comes with a fabric change hud giving you 5 different options.

I'm again wearing the Slink Fabric Platform shoes that work with the Slink Natural Feet.  Easier to put on than my own shoes to be sure.

Loving this bag from Pure Poison Fashion called 'Jackie Studded Mesh Handbag' shown in the brown tone.  My fabulous bangles are also from Pure Poison called 'Love Stacked' bracelets in nude and red.  I have had a big spend up at Pure Poison recently because not only are their items very reasonably priced, I find the details intricate and designs unique.

Chalice's bottom lip is protruding in that princessy, spoiled brat type look.  She isn't participating in Berry's Meme because there's nothing she can teach anyone...well maybe apart from shopping but then we're all Dux of Class in that respect.
