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.

SLimed.

I do so love lime.  In my Corona's, in my mojito's and on my body.  I found these low ride, low crutch beauties at Legal Insanity the other day.  Perusing the clothes in all the rooms I was struck and impressed by the beautiful presentation of the way they market their label.  In terms of the vendor posters, they give it to you on a gold platter.  Their style from top to toe is gorgeous.

I went off looking for something to wear with them and found this cutie of a top at So Many Styles.  Because they literally have so many styles, I purchased the bag, earrings and necklace too.  I purchased the butterfly hair accessory from one of my fave's, Tram.

 
The hair is a voluminous up-do from Miss C. While I love to wear my hair long, I do love to show off earrings so am always looking for hair that allows me to do this.  The boots are from Maitreya called 'August Ankle Boots' shown in the grey color.

I've been reading with interest on Plurk people asking 'what do you want to know about me?'  Being one who fears rejection and an empty non-replied Plurk, I haven't participated but I'll share two.

1. I collect jim-jams (aka as pajamas).  I have about 50 tops and bottoms because I LOOOOVE to come home and get into them.  I'm a bit like the Aussie female version of Hef but I stress without the white socks. And they're not daggy drab PJ's.  They're fabulous colored one's that I can co-ordinate.  In RL I really truly do love fashion and shopping while at home I'm super casual but am a quick change if anyone rings and says 'hey let's go out'.  If my hair's not looking too good I pop it up in a chignon, take 15 minutes for make up, a quick spray of perfume and I'm off.  I can do it because I have two walk in robes that I keep in perfect order and a wall of shoe racks in boxes with a pictures of the shoes on the front.   Thanks mum for turning the once chaotic me into a neat freak.
2. I collect perfumes.  Ever since I saw the movie 'Someone To Watch Over Me' and the magnificent glass perfume cabinets in Mimi Rogers' dressing room, I dreamed of having a cabinet filled with perfumes.  I got my wish when I renovated my bathroom and found this wooden and glass cabinet which over the years I have filled with perfumes.  People know that is my thing and have given them as presents and many I have purchased duty free when traveling.

My absolute weakness.

Anyway sweeties, remember to keep supporting SL designers so we can keep being beautiful.

Berry's Autumn Challenge.

I do enjoy participating in Berry's challenges/meme's and this one was no exception because it gave me an excuse, as if I need one, to go out shopping to find my interpretation of an autumn outfit.  Getting out and about using the in-world search option certainly takes me to some strange places.  But I love to meet new people and see new things and that's why I love SL so much.

I ended up at the wonderful clothing house Legal Insanity.  Their stuff is insane, insanely great.  I purchased this mink coat (faux of course) and the beautifully pleated trousers both in chocolate.  To liven things up and add some autumn colors, I purchased a gold scarf from NC Paris and brought out my JD Design Hearty Clutch in sand.  I also popped on the Nikki strappy heels from Redgrave and color changed them to gold.

I'm wearing the new release hair from Truth called 'Felicity'....a winner Mr Hawks.

It wasn't until I brought up Berry's blog for the link that I realized we went to the same place to take our pics, being 'Small Town Green'.  It was the autumn-iest place I could think of at the time so sorry Berry.

Anyway, on to the meme:

1. Is autumn your favorite season? Why or why not?
No it's not my favorite season but I do love it when the tree's turn russet.  I don't like cleaning the leaves up all the time though.  My favorite season is definitely summer.  I should have been born in Fiji or Bali or some other tropical locale.  I thrive in tropical heat but on the other hand, I've only holidayed in really hot and humid countries.  I don't know how I'd go living, going to work, shopping etc.  Its much more fun laying by the pool asking Ketut for a Mai Tai.

2. Do you call it autumn or fall?
Well being from Australia, we don't call it fall although we should with all the bloody leaves I've picked up this season.

3. What kind of weather does your area get during this season?
I just checked on-line for this information and converted it so it makes sense.  Our autumn is in March, April and May with an average temperature in Melbourne of 16.5 ℃ (61.7 ℉).  What I think is so amazing about nature is the fact that these months are usually windy which blows the leaves from the tree's.  Someone knew what they were doing when they created this planet.

4. What color do you associate with autumn?
Russet tones probably because I have a lot of red maples and liquid amber's at home.

5. Which autumn themed sim is your favorite at the moment?
I can only remember Small Town Green but I know there must be heaps more I've yet to discover.

Lemon, Lime But I'm Not Bitter.

Today I'm featuring another wonderful Sascha's Designs gown called 'Fools' in luscious lime.  It's fairytale couture at its finest.  Whimsical, floaty and definitely a head turner as you sashay through the crowd, you have numerous options in terms of skirt type, collar and hat.  Available in fire, gold, metal blue, pink, silver and of course, lime, you have no excuse not to shine.

I chose to wear the 'Ballerina' hair from TuTy's given this dress is definitely made for dancing.

 

I just knew I'd find a pair of shoes at JD Designs made for this dress and I did.  I purchased another pair of 'Excess' heels but really, any excuse for a shop up at JD and I'm there. lol.

This morning I had the privilege of watching the Miss Virtual World 2014 Opera Challenge sponsored by Maddox DuPont, KMADD, RGF Estates and Lazuri whereby the participants had to give a visual interpretation of various opera's using fashion.  It was seriously brilliant and all of the girls did an outstanding job putting together their outfits from a variety of sources.  When I hear people bag the competition and consider the models are not doing anything too difficult, I wince because the challenges are really tough and do require a lot of imagination, networking, stamina and a big dose of artistic prowess.  While I'm rooting for Miss Australia, I consider each and every one of them the best of luck and congratulate you on your amazing work today.

Don't ShuShu The Freebies.

Who doesn't love a good freebie?  Well given I had picked up this group freebie outfit at ShuShu, among others, I thought I would blog it because quite frankly, it deserves to be shown off.

The outfit is called 'Hippie Tramp' and consists of the coat with hood, woolen beanie, pants and sneakers.  I love the assortment of textures and colors.  It's not often that a label offers such quality freebie's for group members so I encourage you to go join the LAMU group to take advantage of some great clothing.

I added a hair wisp from Bizarre's 'Sensi' hair and resized it to sit just under the beanie.  The necklace I found in the folder of Bizarre's 'Retro Hair'.

I'm so thrilled I purchased Boom's 'Studio Tote' pack that comes in 8 different color's to mix 'n' match with different outfits.

  
I so appreciate the ShuShu brand as its designs aren't the norm and have unexpected elements to the clothing that are earthy yet vibrant with an ethnic lean  I'll be bringing you another ShuShu outfit that I purchased because I couldn't resist the incredible colors that have been carefully considered when creating the piece.  Stay tuned lovers....

Oh and check out their shoes...there's a couple of great pairs of colorful boots that are also group gifts.

I've just been involved and witnessed a conversation in a group about shops closing their in-world stores and selling exclusively on Marketplace.  Of course I can see that it makes sense if people aren't getting out and about visiting the stores but its also so sad that we are isolating ourselves effectively shopping on-line.   Come on shoppers...let's support our creators and designers and actually TP to their shops and get some traffic through their doors or otherwise we stand to lose many more.  I know that by actually TP'ing around the shopping districts, I have met some wonderful people and opportunities have occurred by being there at the right time.  I ask myself, are we becoming so lazy that we can't even TP and see the wonderful world we joined up to experience?

Shut Up And Type.

Today I've put together a little number for the professional and is what I wear to work in RL.  I couldn't believe finding this gorgeous mesh skirt at CIA Designs because I have one similar in my wardrobe and almost the same jacket.  What we don't share is the fact that Chalice is over 6ft and reed thin...if only I looked as good as this.  Oh well we can't have everything :-)

The bag I picked up at Just Designs called 'Cassandra' and is perfect for carrying all your necessities such as mobile phone, the latest copy of Vogue and your camera, all subtlety on display in the bag.  JD's brand logo is becoming as important to me in SL as LV is in my real life.  My newly purchased LV Neverfull is one of the highlights of my year.  I can't work out if that's a sad reflection on me or that I appreciate beautiful things.

Search and ye shall find certainly rang true when I found this 'Ava' jacket in my very disorganized inventory.  I knew I was keeping it for something special.  Beautifully cut and I love the high slip of a waist belt.

Now the shoes are what I have been coveting from Just Designs for a week now.  Called 'Excess' they are so, so, so, so perfect in every way.  I love that you can change the heel and sole colors to match your outfits via the hud.

  
The necklace, earrings and bracelet (camera left) are gorgeous pieces from Pure Poison, while the watch is from 7891.

Sexy In The City...Literally.

Sometimes it's the simplest of pieces that catches your eye because of the material or colors.  That is what this cute item from Graffitiwear called 'Skyscraper Bare Shoulder Jumpsuit' did for me.  I loved the geometry of the pattern emulating city skyscraper's and the shades of black and grey with splashes of red.  It's such a clever and well thought out piece of tailoring.

I decided to pop on some knee length leggings in grey from Art Decade which are equally well made with subtle folds and creases that add authenticity.

I wanted bold jewellery to compliment the bold pattern and headed over to Chop Zuey Couture Jewellery who are renowned for such things.  I found a smart earring and necklace set called 'Chasing Windmills' along with the 'Black Ice' bracelet (camera left) and cute as can be clutch called 'Feu Follet'.  I downsized the purse some to a more petite size.

I adore Paper Couture's hair called 'Slicked Parted Hair Bun' in Blond.  So sleek and elegant.  I wish they would do more hair because every style I've ever purchased has that real authentic model look.  Not too prissy or over-done and allows the clothing to take center stage.

I'm in total shoe lust with everything produced at Just Designs and found these platform thongs called 'Infra' in black.  I say 'thongs' because I'm an aussie but I think the rest of the world calls them flip flops if I'm not mistaken?  To me they're drool worthy as is every row of shoes my eyes gaze upon.  Look at the little 'JD' logo on the strap and delicate silver anklet...tickle me pink til Tuesday, I LOVE these.

Standing in the serene surroundings of the 'Cyprian Garden', I couldn't be more happy with the look I created around the zany little jump suit from Graffitiwear.

A Date With Bogart.

I felt like creating some old world glamor but with a little twist.  I found this stunner of a mesh dress in a gorgeous eggplant color and animal patterned vibrant print panels running down the sides from CIA Designs, a store I was unfamiliar with.  When I spotted it I thought the cut was so elegant but the streaks of color transformed it from your average long gown.  I accessorized using the lime green to accentuate the splashes of color.

The bag is such a good match and I was happy to find it at the Alexandra Sautereau Collection.

The hair is from Paper Couture fittingly named 'Bacall Bob'.

The earrings and bracelets are from Mandala.  I love the silhouette of this dress, very classic but with a modern feel.

I took these pics at 'Ghostsville', a great sim for photo taking.

I'm Riding Low In The Crutch.

Gawd did this outfit take me ages to style!  I started with the low crotch lilac pants from Graffitiwear  and set out to find the rest.  I went over to The Liaison Collaborative to grab IKON's new release 'Perspective Eyes' which I'm wearing and saw this fabo top from 22769 called 'Obi' in violet.  I couldn't believe I got that lucky because lilac isn't the easiest color to co-ordinate. IKON's new eyes will only be available for a limited time so don't you go and miss out because they're GORGEOUS.  You may be crying if you do but not with your Perspective eyes.  Do take a trip to The Liaison Collaborative because there is some fantastic stuff there.  I also purchased the purple sunnies made by Le Primitif and the belt bracelets made by Izzies from there too.

I knew where to go for a great bag having been to Swallow the day before noticing what a great range they had in stock.  This one is called 'Rockstud' in purple and it's ever so lovely in the flesh.

 
I found these shoes from Faenzo on Marketplace called 'Solstice' that are add-on's for Slink feet.  They are simply elegant and you can change the colors with the hud provided.  I labored over my necklace and ended up wearing the delightful 'Balini' necklace in camelian-plum from Zaara.

I'm so glad I spent the time touring the grid for my bits and pieces because I'm ever so pleased with the result.  Oh and the hair is a great style from Tableau Vivant called 'Alexandria'.  I LOVE this hair.

I spent time today adding more feeds to my list taken from the [SL] Blogger Support blog. Thank you to Katya Valeska for compiling this exhaustive list for us.  I went through the feeds I'm not linked with and completed various applications hoping to be included.  If anyone knows anyone who facilitates these feeds, put in a good word for the old Cha will you?  lol.  I've been really enjoying reading 'Conversations With' various bloggers on [SL] Bloggers Support.  I love learning more about people, particularly those in the blogging community, so its been fun getting to know my colleagues in SL fashion better.

Back In Black.

I blame the garden for not blogging for a couple of days.  The weather has been beautiful and my lovely garden has been a tad neglected.  I've spent three solid days planting seedlings and doing general maintenance and I'm so happy with the results.  It so pretty with the wisteria, magnolia's, weeping cherry's and my glorious Mt Fuji Cherry Tree all coming into flower.  This prompted me to go to Banana Island to take some shots in my new outfit because it's spring there.

The look started when I found this mini leather skirt at Indented Fashion and grew from there.  I found the lacy top at Graffitiwear which was part of a top and pants set.  I loved the geometric cut of it and thought it would soften the harshness of the leather.

I wore three sets of necklaces from Maxi Gossamer called 'Aphrodite's Dream' using the color change menu to turn all the stones black.  I came across the 'Disco Ball' earrings at Xia's Boutique.   The bag is a winner from Azoury called 'Timeless Bag'.

My shades are from AvaGirl and can be worn on the head or as glasses...love it when glasses have that option.

To finish off I went straight to Gos for some of their amazing boots.  These are called 'Equestrian Boots' although when I wear top boots for riding, they've never looked this sexy.

Hope you like my naughty black number that I would definitely wear clubbing.  Well maybe without the nip slip:-)

The Beautiful Cheongsam

Well I brought a fat pack from Glam Affair.  I adored the Amberly skin on Cha so before I could change my mind, clicked quick smart.  It's an amazing skin and the make ups are so varied...a look for every look so to speak.

I did have a wee spend up on some more outfits to blog and this one excited me no end.  I fell head over for the striking red and white Chinese inspired Cheongsam style dress with black trim.  Figure hugging with barely room to breathe, its so flattering and sexy.  I found it at TuTy's, a shop I wasn't familiar with but oh my lord I will be in the future. The hair base and pony tail is also from TuTy's...go check out their hair.  WOW.

For some reason I couldn't get these 'Pony Girl Boots' from Boudoir out of my head and just had to wear them.  They've got horse shoes for soles.

Its not that simple finding a blood red bag but I got lucky with the 'Heart Purse' at Fashionably Dead located at Tableau.  The flower mask is another Boudoir buy and was just a little extra to give the outfit the Cha Cha touch.

I won't be swabbing no decks with this dress darlings.

The Chains That Bind.

Hi precious ones.  Well I visited the new look Glam Affair and got me some demo skins which I intend to try on when I've finished this post.  It looks great Ms Ewing.  Wonderful build :-)

Today I'm wearing an outfit I've been storing in my 'to blog' file from Amarelo Manga called 'Tilla'.  I'm so into these mesh tops that sit just off the body in lacy material.  The shirt is ever so nice and silky looking.  I actually have something similar in my RL wardrobe.

The pants are quite out there and there's definitely a touch of Chanel © about them.  I purchased the bag from Glam Affair. which I love.

I popped on my Gos Lolita Espadrilles and am ready for a ride in my convertible to go shopping.  I need to go stock up on some new blogging outfits cause its pay day and I got money to burn.

Oh and this great little do is from Kik called 'Fiona' in Platinum.  Gawd I love Kik hair.

Thought for the day.  I've seen and known a few people around with the sir name 'Littlething'.  I wonder how many guys opted for that when they joined SL and could pick their last name?

Hey Dude, Get Surreal.

OK I had a trickle of creative juice trickling around the right side of my cerebellum and came up with this contribution to Berry's Surrealism Challenge.  Not sure that she had two rhino's bonking as an image but hey, who am I to stand in the way of my tawdry little mind?  I don't think Madame de Pompadour ever toured Africa and I'm sure she didn't wear a jester's crown.

I had so, so, so much fun doing this Berry.  You really think outside the box.  I dub this picture "Chalice de Pompadour And The Bonking Rhino's"

My Life Would Suck Without You.

I love to find new locations to shoot and I have a little secret blog I visit that features new sims.  Possibly many of you know about it but I promised I wouldn't reveal it when someone shared it with me, so I'm keeping shtum.  I keep my promises you see and even if you tortured me to get the link I wouldn't tell but give me every shoe from Gos and I may weaken.  Well I found this great sim called deSiderium and that LM I will share with you. :-)

Today I'm black on black but with a side of grey.  I found this cute little dress from Bubble called 'Balloon Elipse' dress and I love the material and pattern.  Luckily I found some knit leggings from Drop that I think work well with the texture.

I forgot I had this hair but when I found it I was thrilled.  Its a lovely texture and has little pins at the side holding a small plait and is from [M]unati Bodyshop Store.

Two of my favorite things are this gorgeous bag called 'Valentine Bow Tote' from Cherry and the 'Shiki' shoes from Maitreya.  I purchased the fat pack so have a plethora of colors to play with.

You can't get me out of my new Ginevra skin from Izzies and the fact that it comes with a vast array of eye shadow and lip options makes it even more fabulous.  I popped on my 'Pety Bracelets' from Pure Poison...they are wonderful pieces of jewellery.  I also can't take off my 'Voyante Gemstone' rings from Je Suis.

I really, really want to participate in Berry's 'Surrealism Challenge' but I can't seem to tap in to my creative juices...I wonder if I actually have any.   I am going to have a go at it although I fear the outcome will be more fart than art.  :-)  Until next time.....

Coffee And Vanilla.

I love a good scarf and I've had this one from Vogue just waiting to blog.  Called 'Sharmine Stole' in Russet, it's the mixture of colors that drew me to it.

I chose these embroidered jeans in coffee from Bliss Couture and found that the new release bag from Boom worked really well with it. The top is from Kunglers called 'Alicia' in vanilla.  A simple silky little thing that is so versatile.

The shoes I found on Marketplace for a mere $99L and I consider them my bargain of the month.  They are from InVerse and are called Vegas Heels.  While mainly building houses/prefabs, InVerse have a small variety of shapes/skins, clothing and shoes.  You wear the hud and can change colors on all different parts of the shoes.  I love them.

I took these pictures at the new Glam Affair sim.  Looks great and I can't wait to go check out all the new releases I believe are in store.  Roll on pay day.
