Start Of Something Good #39

Hey loves! Let’s get right into it. This dress! This dress!!!! O-M-G I’m in looooooove! I went on a little shopping spree last weekend and I found this beauty at Bomshie‘s main store. You guys, there are so many treasures in that store it’s unbelievable. The craftsmanship of this dress is impeccable. The detailing with the seams and creases…..this dress looks so realistic to me. If I remember correctly, this dress only comes in the color shown but it’s a beautiful color that will compliment an array of skin tones. This dress can definitely hold it’s own and don’t really need an accessories but what fun would that be for a blogger?!? I paired her with the Tiana jewelry set from GeWunjo (earrings, necklace & bracelet) along with the Paula Belly Chain which will be available for purchase at Penumbra A/W Fashion week 2015 (starting October 17th). And I have to touch on these bad ass heels from N-Core….guys, I fell in love at first sight with these heels. The Stiletto Metal Cap heels comes in a fatpack with an array of colors to choose from with both gold or silver metal cap options. For the price, these are a steal and everyone should pick up a pair.

P.S. I will update this post with the landmark for Penumbra once available.

Angel Eyes #37

Hello loves! I’m super excited to show you Amber 2 (Latte tone modeled), Hush Skin‘s newest release! Isn’t she gorgeous? She comes with and without freckles (shown wearing freckle option) and there are Omega, Maitreya, Baby Bump, TMP and Slink appliers available. There are 12 tones in all and each tone comes with an eyebrow cover tattoo layer so you can apply different brows if you choose. I’ve provided a preview of each tone below. I really wanted to keep this look simple so I paired it with this beautiful mesh dress from Cuqui called Juana. This dress is super simple yet it’s extremely elegant. I also added this really cool and unique decor mask from LaGyo. It’s a mask and earrings in one….it’s very cool in my opinion. I’d love to know what you think of the look!

Day In & Day Out #36

Hey loves, so I’m back with another look featuring LaVian & Co. Ladies and gents, I CANNOT say enough nice things about this designer’s style. I’m a girl that loves color…..loud vibrant colors at that and LaVian & Co. never disappoints. I actually get excited when I see their ad or put on one of their outfits and try on all of the different color/pattern options that are available per outfit. The dress I’m wearing is the Essentials Day In and Day Out dress and I loooooooove her! She’s basically a one piece mesh dress that consists of a sleeveless turtleneck tunic along with a mini jean skirt. This is super cute guys!! This dress also comes with a HUD that has 16 different pattern options for the top.

*Also, I wanted to note that I had to take off my Maitreya mesh body in order to fit the CO57 Misfit boots properly.

The Elite #31

Hey loves! The weekend is finally here *does my happy dance*. So I’m coming to you with a quick and chic style from Tee*fy (featured @ Collabor88). These are separates guys but they mesh so well together you’d think this was a dress. There are plenty of colors to choose from to mix and match both the top and that sexy skirt. I wanted to keep this look very simple so I paired it with the Coven ring set from LaGyo (also @ Collabor88) and this super cute hair I picked up from Exile….which was also at Collabor88. I really should have just titled this post Collabor88. Anywho, I really love this look and I hope you enjoy the styling as much as I did putting it together for you.

Princess of Takayama

Hello and happy Saturday loves! It’s been a very relaxing weekend so far and I got inspired to do another blog by googling teapots. I google the most random things sometimes LOL. Anywho, I’m still on that strict SL budget so I decided to pray to the SL Fashion Gods to see if I possibly had anything in my inventory I could work with. Low and behold….I found this beautiful dress from Zenith just stashed away! Do you want to know the best part? The outfit is absolutely F-R-E-E. All you have to do is join the Zenith group inworld. The group gift comes in two colors, red (shown below) and pink & the headpiece is included. If you’ve never been to Zenith, I’m going to warn you now, just be prepared to leave the store poor because you’re going to want to buy EVERYTHING! You’ve been warned….

She Earned It

Hello loves! So yesterday, was the grand opening of Oro and I was feeling a little bit inspired by Bollywood for some odd reason and wanted an outfit to semi reflect that style.  And with me being the person I am, I was late and had to hurry to put an outfit together. Your girl has been working on a very strict SL budget this week so I had to make due with what I had and dig deep into my inventory to pull off my vision and I must say that my inventory is the real MVP because I was very pleased with what I came up with. Of course I couldn’t attend an Oro grand opening without rocking something from the store, so I opted for this really cute cutout halter top in the color Orange Juice and I paired it with a 100% mesh skirt from Tetra. Now loves, I’m going to be very honest with you guys as I do always. I love this skirt (especially the crease detailing and that live olive color) but it was very difficult for me to deal with as far as fitting my body. My avi is pretty petite (I usually wear mesh in either a size S or XS) and I STILL had to alter my shape to fit the skirt properly AND use a static pose the entire time at the party in order to avoid body parts sticking through the skirt. This could definitely be a negative for a person that wouldn’t consider altering their shape but if you don’t mind tweaking your shape (anything for fashion!), I would highly recommend purchasing this skirt.

So….this You’re Cool hair from Milk (now known as Besom) seems to be in hot demand but unbeknownst to me, it’s not available inworld anymore. I didn’t realize this until I was contacted by quite a few people who really want this hair. I ended up leaving a notecard with the creator inquiring about possibly bringing this hair back. I haven’t heard back from her yet but once I do, I will update this post and also my facebook with her response. In the meantime, you can try Besom’s Piled Up Bun as an alternative. The Piled Up Bun (shown below) will still work well with Gaja‘s baby hairbase.

Seeing Eye

Hey beautiful people! I’m back from an unexpected hiatus with a bunch of new looks that I’ll be putting out throughout the weekend. As you can see, I’ve changed up the template of my blog hoping the simplistic styling will help with keeping the focus on the items being blogged. We’ll see how this works out :). First up is this extra sexy, semi sheer latex bodysuit from Skin (formally known as LUXURY). This bodysuit is definitely daring and made for the uninhibited souls of SL. If you’re a bit more modest, you can still rock this bodysuit by paring it with a cool waist length leather jacket to cover your naughty bits. This bodysuit was well put together with seams lining up correctly along with the latex detailing which makes this bodysuit look very realistic.
