Two Skulls Are Better Than One....If You Need Book Ends That Is.

Hey man, I've got my groove on in Mesh Head again.  The fabulous Frances Cocarerra sent me this skull head corset complete with texture change hud for those days when you can't decide what color mood you're in.  Thanks so much.  I'm a Mesh Head fan girl because I can see the work that goes into the intricate details on each piece.  Like its not your average corset, this one has rings attached and realistic seams to name but a few features.

 
These jeans are also from Mesh Head.  Look at the fading, creases and belt...brilliant.

The great back pack is from Pixel Box.  Again, interesting details abound.

Not many words today.  When someone you love more than you love yourself leaves, the sadness is so deep you wonder if it will ever stop.  I'm trying to be brave but some days I don't want to be brave...I want to cry and feel the pain.

SHEY Got It.

I declare today SHEY day because I'm showing you a fabulous, albeit very short, dress from that label.  I thought hard about what to put with it because my 'V' was showing and settled for the Floral Corset Panties from Bubble.  The dress is such a strong design and cut that I didn't want to overwhelm it with too much (or too little if I hadn't worn my undies)..

I purchased some stunning jewellery from Kunglers who take jewellery design and execution to a whole new level.  The necklace and earrings set is called 'Camelia' in gold.  The bangle is called 'Omochi' from Mandala.  I picked up this 'Leather Louis' Bag from OhLaLa Fashion and I remember it being an absolute bargain which I think was only L$50, but don't hold me to it....memory is a bit slow atm

Now the wonderful thing about this 'Maija Wrap Dress' is the fact that it comes with a hud to change the colors/textures which I have shown you below.  So many options for future wear which is great.

How are you all getting on with the new Flickr?  I don't like it at all but like everything, I suppose I'll get used to it.

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.

Come See My Pixel Box.

Well another day, another dollar.  Thank goodness because there's so many magnificent goodies in SL at the moment I've developed a strategy of waiting 5 seconds before each purchase asking myself 'do I need it?'  I fear the answer most of the time is 'yes, yes, yes'.

In my previous posts I have mentioned the label Pixel Box and today I'm featuring the striking lace top, steam punk boots and bag from that shop.  Practically stole them, the prices were so low and that's always a thrill when you open the box, attach it and go 'Ooooo yeah'.

To me, the top is so pretty and delicate but I decided to pop a top under it rather than leave it semi see through.  I'm also thrilled with the skirt I recently purchased from Insanya called 'Ruby Mini Skirt' in black.  Loving the zips up the sides and silver studded belt.

As with many of the jewelery pieces sold at Pixel Box, you can place your photo in the lockets etc and as you can see here, the 'Dark Cross' bag has a label near the cream lace decoration to add your own picture as I have done.  The 'Mrs Daisy Bray' steam punk boots are decorated with lots of sweet embellishments.

Here's the entire outfit and I really love it from head to toe.  I'm again wearing the Amberly Petal Edition skin from Glam Affair and was so happy to find a Skin Applier for that specific tone.  Good on you Aida...you rock.

Purple Purpetrator.

   
I found this pretty yet simple dress from Kaithleen's called 'Short Retro Twiggi Pleated Dress' in a delicious shade of purple.  The shading is very clever and really does give the impression of movement.

Call me stupid...no don't cause I'm sensitive, but I had no clue that Slink sold hair.  Probably because every time I go to Slink I turn left instead of right. I purchased this style called 'Lila' in pale blond and I love it - the texture, style etc is of excellent quality.  God not another place to buy hair...I'll be broke I tell you.  The bangles are from BSD Design Studio and are called 'Iconic Beauty Bangles' and I think I purchased them at The Garage Fashion Fair.  The earrings I'm wearing are from Pure Poison called 'Rock Earrings'.  The details are really quite exquisite and are truly appreciated up close which is why this label has become one of my favorites.

These shoes are from Eskimo Fashion and are one of the color tones in the 'Waterlilly Collection'.   The one shown here is from the roses tone. You purchase different color collections which consist of 4 choices and they come with two huds, one to change the shoe colors including metals/nails etc and the other for skin.  You really do get value for money when you consider you have 4 different hues per purchase and combinations of shoe hardware. I couldn't go past the dripping mouth of a bag also from Eskimo Fashions called 'Lips Of The Galaxy Tote'.  The designer, Ms Lucy F. Satori Massiano-Parker, has probably one of the longest SL names I've encountered.  Her items are excellent so do go have a look.

I'm so pleased to have stumbled across Kaithleen's store when she produces dresses such as this.

On a more sombre note, I send love and positive affirmations to those affected by the tornado's in Oklahoma and any other states touched by the tragedy.  I am always astounded by the resolve and sheer strength of the human spirit when nature reminds us who is the boss.  For those of us watching around the world, all we can do is pray that each individual affected receives the help and support they need at the time they need it most.

I Got The Exclusive On GOL The 9th - Opening 24th May.

Lucky me got an exclusive early viewing of Dakota Neumann's new club, GOL The 9th that is opening it's doors to clubbers on Friday the 24th of May at 10amSLT.  Go GOL or go home I say.  Who hasn't heard or been to Mr Neumann's existing GOL clubs?  This new version, designed and built by the man himself is classy, vast and has a wonderful ambiance to it.  If I'm not wrong, and I know I'm not, Miss Vixie's gorgeous face adorns the back wall and let me tell you, its a fierce shot that just draws you in. 

The long entrance just beckons you in and I guarantee before you even hit the dance floor, you'll be shaking your booty off its hinges.  Since 2006, dedicated GOL clubbers have been spoiled with some of the best tunes from the best DJ's the world has to offer 24/7.

I couldn't help but roll around on the beautiful tiled feature in the floor.  As always, Dakota's attention to every detail is what set's his builds apart and is found in every nook and cranny.

One more photo with the Diva before I took off home waiting with barely controlled anticipation for the official public opening on Friday at 10amSLT.  Now here's the limo darlings.

My congratulations to the entire GOL team for creating a club, the likes of which we haven't seen before.

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.

Sometimes I Get A Good Feeling.

I've been in a kind of SL Twilight Zone.  I've been zapping here and there, picking up the most random of things that I fell in love with and thought would be handy to use in future looks.  I am feeling quite sad that a few of our favorite labels are disappearing from SL but as I always say, as one door shuts another one opens.  Those who are closing or have closed, I wish you the very best and thank you for your contributions to this wonderful virtual life we get to live. 

Today my look is to say the least, an eclectic fusion of pieces.  For me, while fashion does have some basic rules, is really all about self expression and mood.  Some days we play it safe and some days we smash the rules and are brave.

This all started when I put on this Gipsy dress from Glam By Fred Oyen.  As I've mentioned before, I love a profusion of color and gorgeous patterns.  I found both in this dress and thought right Chal, tart it up to the max.

I want to send a BIG THANK YOU to Sasy Scarborough from Flair Nails who must be working like a trojan producing the best, best nails ever for sending me oodles of them.  I'm wearing them above and every time I open a new hud, feel it's like Christmas wondering what wonderful patterns and colors I'll see.  In case you want to purchase them off-line, here's her link to Marketplace.

  
I did a bad, bad thing.  I purchased four new skins from DeeTaleZ called 'Gogo' shown in the medium fair tone.  Best news is there are skin appliers for sale to match Slink's feet and hands plus LOLA's.  Now I know I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, but how the bloody heck do I put these on?  I press the hud expecting huge jugs to magically appear and nothing.  Note to self: read instructions.  I must give big claps to Steffi Villota, Ms DeeTaleZ herself, for making such wonderful skins.  She does prove its all in the details.

The hair is also from DeeTaleZ.  You purchase the tattoo layer of your choice and then the Mohican prim attachment.  I think closely shaved or short hair can make a bold statement so love this idea from DeeTaleZ.  I'm off to purchase some more tattoo layers which have shaved patterns.

The face decoration is from a great accessories store called 22769 Casual Couture.  The piece is called 'Femme Dryad Head Piece' in Silver/Blue.  To add even more blueness, I'm wearing Peacock Eyeshadow tattoo from Little Petits Details and Eccentric Uptown Blue lipstick tattoo from The Skinnery. 

I grabbed myself some Thick Wool Socks from DeeTaleZ and very smart Black Patent Ankle Boots from Kunglers.

I also purchased this Sage Snake Skin Clutch from Cherry, a great place for shoes, bags and accessories.

Love or hate my look, be rest assured I'll be noticed she says laughing maniacally.

A Four Dress Ode To Sascha's Designs.

Hello lovelies.  This is just a quickie to show you four great new designs from Sascha Frangilli that she sent me a little while ago.  I'm late so do apologize but late or not, these are representative of the amazing designs available at her store.

Elle Hot Pink

Pink Spring Coat

Midnight Blue

Laurel Purple

Here's your limo to Sascha's Designs.

Give It Up For Mesh Head.

Gawd I got so side tracked putting this look together, it felt like I was everywhere and spending it up like a Getty.  But I couldn't be more thrilled with the pieces I purchased.

The look started with the wonderfully patterned Xtreme Tank and boots from Mesh Head.  The tank has a hud that gives you the option of 8 patterns but I was particularly enamored by this design and purchased the matching boots.  I simply love it.  I also must say that I found the customer service responsive, friendly and timely. 

I love the subtle connection between top and shoes.  Designer Francesco Carrera caters to biker dudes and rock chick's and her ability with mesh clothing is masterful.  What I specifically love is the fact that the design is replicated inside the top which makes for no invisible lines.

Another favorite store of mine is MOW.  I found these fabulous Grey Cargo Jeans with great detail and Unisex Arm Warmers.  I've found everything I've purchased at MOW to be of excellent quality.  MOW is actually an acronym for 'My Own Way' and designer Medusa Back certainly does it her own way.

For some reason I kept looking for 'the' bag to add to this outfit and finally found it at Bliensen and MaiTai called 'Oh My Stars O-Rama Love Birds'.  Very happy with it I was.

The watch was a favorite pick up from Kumaki which sell the biggest selection of glasses I've ever seen among other things.  The watch is called 'Rasta Army Watch'.  Seriously, if you want glasses, go to Kumaki.

The color change glasses I'm wearing here are from AvaGirl and can be worn on the nose or on top of your head.  With a color change hud, the options are endless.  I looked for ages for the right necklace and found it at Primitive Design called 'Candy Cross'.  As I always appreciate, it comes with a resizer hud which makes it so much easier to achieve that perfect fit.  The earrings I purchased from CoLLisions called 'Rain Dance'.  I again chose a hair from Diva called Asami which can be worn with or without the pony tail. I do have an ear plug in my left ear only you can't see it for my hair.  Regardless, it's from Zombie Suicide called 'The Day Of The Dead' and they're fabulous. 

I should note that no boobs fell out during the making of this post.
