I'm A Swinger.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble finding non-mesh items to layer under mesh items.  I traveled far and wide merely looking for a nice under shirt or T for this outfit and gave up visiting Tram where I knew they had some nice non-mesh tops to go under the gorgeous mesh shirt from TokiD.  Please don't stop making non-mesh tops that hug the body so we can add layers.  I'm sure they're out there but I think I went to 15 shops before I returned to Tram remembering they had some lovely T's in different colors to match with the skirt.

Anyway, here is a sweet, bright look I've put together and I love the result.

I found this hair from Exile in my inventory called 'Crush' in the Vanilla color.  I purchased another hair from Exile called 'Wide Awake' which I loved but being mesh, no matter what I did in reducing my head size and wearing the alpha layers, the part in the hair was gaping and I had to send it to my trash folder.  Exile make such excellent hair however, that one little issue with hair not fitting my head is no big thing.  'Crush' came with a sweet headband and hud where you can change color combinations and I was thrilled to find a complimentary color for the floral shirt.

The skirt is called 'Horizon Mini' from Boom and fits so well.  I have to admit that mesh skirts have opened up a whole new world when compared with the old skirts with a prim part between the legs that often moved and didn't fit well.  The bag I picked up at Malt for an absolute steal and is really fabulous.

It's not often you find small clasped earrings and I purchased these at Je Suis.  Perfect for long hair as they don't get lost.  The necklace is part of a wider jewellery set called 'Isis Solar Magic' from Maxi Gossamer and comes in either gold or silver with color change stones.  Looks amazing on and one of my favorite purchases of late.  Bracelets are from Je Suis (color change) and the ring is called 'Ketema' also from Maxi Gossamer.

No I haven't forgotten you my darling Maitraya Gold's.  You will always have my heart and here are a pair from their collection called 'Allegre' in Red.  They never, ever disappoint.  How about a shoe called Maitreya Gold Chalice????  Sounds good?  Yes I know, I'm a name whore.  I want everything named after ME!

I'm An Eclectica Girl.

Today I'm the mad hatter wearing a gorgeous creation by Tiffy Vella from Eclectica Jewelry.  This hat is called 'Solaria Cloche' shown in Tangerine tones that match with a jewelry set of the same name.  The hat includes the hair in the colors ash, blonde, brunette, auburn and black  As you can see, the necklace matches the embellishment on the hat.  The 'Solaria' jewelry set contains earrings, rings and a necklace with the option of gold or silver metal.  Pop along to Eclectica to view the wide range of colors that are available in both the hat and jewelry.

The coat and long cardigan are available from LAQ...just perfect for cold days.  I found the tartan tights from Maitreya.

I am always honored to blog any product from Eclectica Jewelry because I believe in the quality of the pieces and want this label to be on the tips of everyone's lips.

I've got two wee vents that will make me feel better.  I purchased some mesh pants from a vendor at Fi*Friday the other day and popped them on and they're grey.  Nothing I do will bring up the texture.  I send a pic and a message...nothing back.  The creator has nothing in their profile but a link to Marketplace.  Seriously, if you aren't going into SL much, say so.  Let your shoppers know how to get on to you.

I purchased some boots from a well known label only to have no ability to resize them apart from stretch, which as we know, can be tricky.  They are miles too small and even when I reduced the size of my legs, the boots are still too small.  Surely a resize script in L$400 boots isn't too much to ask...or is it?

Hands And Feet, Feet And Hands

I'm thrilled.  With the help of the amazing Siddean Munro from SLINK, my new feet match with the gorgeous Tuli skin I recently purchased.  Wouldn't you know I had the stockings layer on...duh!!  Anyway they are fabulous, wonderful, perfect. If you're contemplating buying the hands and feet, I urge you to go get them.  I couldn't be more happy with how they look.  I honestly say to you, if I can drive them, anyone can.  Look how pretty those hands are.

I've put together a little mix 'n' match outfit wearing my favorite BF Maitreya jeans AGAIN and a lovely floral top from TokiD. 

I found this treasure of a scarf at Mon Tissu along with the red satchel.

Because Of You I Don't Stray Too Far From The Sidewalk

Hello bunnies.  Well another night where sleep escapes me so thought I would style another outfit that I purchased recently.  I headed over to the amazing Hazadous sim to take the photo's.  If you haven't visited, you simply must.

Well we have more fair's and hunts to poke a stick at and most of you will be running around like headless chickens trying to cram them in.  We really are spoiled for choice these days and I'm grateful to other blogs who showcase whats available.

I'm A Little Mellow Yellow

RL me will be going into hospital in the next few days but not exactly sure when.  I'll be taking my lappie but I'm not certain if I'll be able to blog on it.  Regardless, I'll be back and will blog all my new purchases when I can.

I've put BOSL radio on my land and have been sitting with my ear phones on while blogging listening to the tunes and have been singing so loud I've had to close the windows to spare the neighbors.  Who else does this?

Today I'm mixing some Emery, TokiD and Maitreya and have to say, I love this look.  Check below for the credits.

I picked up these poses for long hair from Croire...they're fab.

Purple Passion Baby...Oh Yeah

This look started with the gorgeous silky Artisan shorts from TokiD and grew from there.  Wandering the store, I picked up the cool scarf, boho rucksack and hair flower, then found the singlet top at Pink BuBBIEs.

The rucksack worn on the shoulder is amazing.  Brilliant job with this piece Maya Toki-Doki (cute name).

Take a trip to TokiD and prepare yourself for some fabulous fashion.
