Thank You For The Music

Hello darlings.  I hope your day is going well and since you asked, mine has turned to s%$t.  Woke up this morning and went to the mail box.  What greeted me?  A whopping AUS$7,600 account from my solicitor for services rendered thus far in respect to the financial disbursement of assets with my ex-husband.  I mean we haven't even agreed on anything yet because 'the bum' won't turn up to any conciliation meetings.  Boo hoo for me.  Why are people so cruel?  The person you invest your love in can just turn against you and want to see you fall.  I'm not one of those people and that's why I can't understand that kind of mentality.  Anyway, life is a journey and unfortunately mine has taken me to places I don't care to visit but they tell me it will pass.  I sure do hope so. 

Now onto the fashion.  I found this fab coat at Vero Modero the other day.  I love the simplicity of it.  I remembered the smart black and white hand bag from Meiling in my inventory and voila, a smart combo is born.  I couldn't love Mandala jewelery any more if I tried and I nabbed these gorgeous earrings called Omochi in Silver.  I wish I owned everything in the store.

Actually, Chalice looks like I feel.  Brow beaten and battle weary lol. 

I am wondering if anyone else has a problem with their shoes when you turn your preferences to the maximum?  In some heels, my foot sticks out of the shoes despite having all the relevant pieces attached to my avatar.  Very annoying when you pick that perfect pair of shoes and you can't wear them.  I have renderingvolumelod and renderingavatarlod set to 5 or 6 and Anisotropic Filtering set to 8x but it doesn't make a difference.  It's only when I turn down my slider to mild that it disappears.  Any thoughts????

For The Love Of Autumn

While you lucky bunnies are enjoying Spring in the North, we down-under have sashayed into Autumn.  A season I admit I love particularly when the leaves turn russet and we can snuggle inside by the fire.

I've put together an executive look for the smart working girl.  The shirt, pants and belt make up the outfit called 'Marve' from Vero Modero.  Very tailored and well put together..

Ok.  Off to work she goes looking every inch the professional.

You're A Trouble Maker Girl

Look at moi in my new dress from Vero Modero called "Ayla".  Wear if you dare because it's so wonderfully bright it could cause a traffic accident.  Aren't the material folds fantastic?  I went to the Vero Modero model call today and it was great to be back on the runway again.  I forgot how much fun it was and will be sure to keep an eye out for other auditions.

 
I found the cute geometric bag at The Secret Store and the shoes from Maitreya.  Love how this works so well together.

Bangles are from [glow] studio and the nail gloves from DownDownDown Main Shop.  I actually don't mind using a nail glove rather than prim/mesh nails because I'm rubbish at fitting them plus when the hand closes in some poses, the nails sit in mid air.  Me no like that.

Hope you all get lots of Easter eggs darlings but don't eat them all at once (says she chowing down on an egg).

Pretty Casual In Oyakin.

One thing I always know I'm gonna get when I shop at Oyakin is quality. The textures are always top notch and the construction well executed. I spied these girly jeans complete with lace bows and trimming at the cuff and thought 'me gotta get some of those'. No sooner had I closed my purse when I noticed the 'Romantic' cami in the most stunning hues and the purse was opened once again. Its all kind of boho shabby chic.

"Officer, that is not a bong, its a vase...honestly".

Check out the bum bow. Guaranteed to cover up all manner of flaws.

I'm loving the Vanity Hair $60L weekend special #5 I picked up the other day called Jackie in Essence tone worn here. It's so big, getting out the door was a struggle.

Anyway gorgeous ones. I got some more outfits to blog so I better get to it. Have you noticed the amazing fashion blogs around at the moment? They're better than ever and I think all you people who peruse the fashion feeds are very lucky. You have no excuse to not look FABULOUS.

Oh and by the way. My Cha Cha Blogger Award of the week goes to Lila Quander's blog, Demented Divas. In my opinion, its one of the most stylish, slickest fashion blogs around and the effort that it must take to achieve such a high standard is huge. She just gets it SO right.
