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.

Adorable Mesh Skirt From Behold Designs.

Drum roll please...this is the first piece of mesh clothing I've ever worn.  Talk about late on the uptake but better late than never I suppose.  What prompted me to finally go to the mesh side and download V3 was reading EnCore Mayne's blog (here) sharing her new creation, the polka dot mesh skirt.  I just loved the pattern and shape of it and immediately TP'd to her store, Behold Designs, to get me one. 

Never underestimate the power of a little skirt on those around you.  This is ever so sexy and I love the asymmetrical aspect of it that cleverly uses the polka dots to create added dimension.  This skirt is not rigged so can be modified as opposed to modifying your shape for the rigged mesh clothing pieces.  This gives you carte blanche to tint your skirt.  EnCore indicates she will be selling this for $300L but when I purchased it, it was a mere $150L. 

I set about building up a look from the skirt and visited Le Poppycock where I purchased a top called  Le Tanque.  I then had a bit of fun at Tee*fy shopping for accessories and found Anya's Pico Mofumofu scarf with dangling embellishments at either end and My Lunch Bag shown here in blue and brown hues. 

I opted for my favorite Arch Boots in 2 tone nude kindly sent to me by Fashionboi Lander from the House of Fox..  Also shown: Hair - Starlight in Essence from Vanity Hair; Skin - Claudia 2 Milky Glow from LAQ; Eyes - Pale Steel Blue from Fashism; Watch - Cashmere; Earrings - Antonia from DeLa; Nails - Pixel Mode

Thank you for throwing me from the comfort of my V2 nest and into the V3 unknown EnCore. I so wanted that skirt and I'm so glad I took the plunge.  I love this viewer and it actually works better for me.  Great job darling.

I Got Horsey Shorts For The Melbourne Cup.

It's Melbourne Cup today in Melbourne and that means a public holiday.  I love the fact that I live in a country that stops for a horse race and looks good doing it.

I got me some silky shorts with horses running across them from Emery.  They're very cute and I love the color combo of grey and peach.  Emery has a fantastic array of outfits and caters to a variety of styles and tastes.  Likewise,  Boom is a one stop shop of fabulous styles and the My Milkshake Tied Tank in grey is a versatile piece that should get lots of wear. 

I kept the grey theme going with the Lellani corsage from LaGyo (color change), clutch bag from Cashmere and Astra Wedges from Tee*fy. 

Stylish watches are something I'm always on the look out for in SL and I found the Vivoldi watch in black at Cashmere.  Really lovely fit.  I sifted through my jewelery box and found the Love Dog Tag from Lucifer's Heart and my Moria ring from Morantique Lush.

 The blond locks are from LeLutka (Jolie), skin from Glam Affair (Jadis 2), eyes from Fashism, and nails are from Pixel Mode.

Chalice opted to stay out of the Birdcage this year and instead will enjoy all the fun in the car park with her horsey shorts, Dr Dree and glass(es) of Krug champagne.

Union Jack-et For The Royal Wedding.

I thought I'd go a bit British in honor of the Royal wedding next week. I have my invitation which is currently under lock and key in my bank's vault. I have the dress, shoes, bag, hat and have booked in my make up artist and hair dresser. Seriously darlings, they are going to have to work hard to un-beautify me if I'm not to stand out like a beacon of gorgeousness and outshine the bride.

A little trip to Yorim's Factory recently found me walking out with this cool Union Jack cardigan. Teamed with the Not Without You Seance pants and Tee*fy Astra wedges, I love the fusion.

These shoes have become a fav of mine and I love how cute they look with the black and parchment colored anklet's from Maitreya which have been the most utilized purchase in my inventory...ever.
