Happy New Years!!

Another year has passed! I can't believe its almost 2012. Time waits for no one so I wish you all a productive and prosperous new year!

This post is bittersweet because it's the end of 50 linden Friday reign. I just want to thank Barb for all she has done and the designers for contributing such wonderful creations week after week. The final 50L Friday went out with a big bang!! Many of the designers this time around put out more than one or two things for the last event and I can't wait to blog all the cute stuff I got. For now and in preparation for the new year, I'm wearing the sequin mini dresses from Tres Blah. They are gorgeous and the reflection on the dresses really bring these dresses to life.

Also, Filthy has released another skin called Nathalie and I am wearing it with the gold dress. It's soft and the makeups are subtle, which is what I like!

Dura & Collabor88

So I had to do another post just because I really love the new hair releases from Dura.  This is the second one released recently and it's so classic and adorable. I love the medium length curls and it frames the face beautifully.

Also Collabor88 has new collections out. There are some beautiful finds there as always. One of them being the part mesh dress by Ingenue named Cyd. You can buy them in earthy tones for 88L. I love the style of the dress and how it hugs my curves. Also I believe all dresses should have mesh pieces if not completely all mesh, because it moves with your body. No more stiff skirts :)

Wishing you all happy holidays and a prosperous New Year!!

I want you to know..

Awesome releases from Dura this week. The new boy hair is a collab between Dura and Gabriel for the GABRIEL Winter Collection. Even though it's labeled boys , Dura has this wonderful way of making all her hair Unisex.

I went for a grey theme because it's freaking cold and gloomy in California today. I do hope it clears up for Xmas eve. Poised released these cute little jackets and my jeans are part of "keep me warm" by Beautiful dirty rich.

The holidays are here!

It's that time of year and I have found myself quite busy. Even still, I wanted to blog before too much time went by. Though I love the holidays, I can't wait until its over so I can get back to relaxing. The best part about this time of year is that I am off for 2 weeks, oot oot!

Here's my look for the day. New cute sweaters from Izzie's and gatchas filled with christmasy necklaces. Love these boots that are color change. They come with the socks which are also color change from Severed Gardens.

Spearsong & Dura

Spearsong has put out some new outfits for all us ladies! Each outfit set comes with shirt, pants or skirt and black pumps. I love graphic tees and sometimes you just want to be comfy and relax in tees and jeans.
Plus my chest looks great in these tops :P

Dura put out a new girls hair and I <3 it. I'm really into bangs. I have always had bangs in RL and feel weird if I pull my hair back without them. So this hair was right up my alley.  I'm a big fan of Dura's short cuts but she does a great job with long looks too.

Lethal Beauty

So many finds and/or new releases made me so happy the past few days. One being Ironed by Vive9... OMG I love this hair. I love the length on it, the deep roots that come with every color in pack and the fact that it really looks like I just ironed my hair. It's just so sexy , I could walk around in it naked with heels on and be content.

Speaking of heels.....GOODNESS! I love the barrel heels by Illmatic. She revised the old ones and these are so fierce! I love the shape of the shoe, the metal spikes adorning the back and she smooth thick steel of the barrel. I feel like if I had them on in real life, I would be comforted by the thickness of the heel lol. I think Kaiden did a beautiful job with the revive, even though the old one were bad assed too.

I'm wearing Ciara dress by Lethal Couture and I <3 it! It's actually a hooded dress, which is a style I love but I'm wearing it without the hood to show off the hair :).

Hey foxy lady!

Collabor88 has a new collection out and of course I bought just about everything there. I don't wear fur in RL but dammit if these fox furs aren't cute.  You get 3 of them for 88L, who can beat that? Also I adore anya's creations and talent. These furry friends come in Arctic(white) red and black.

Vive9 has been a fav haunt for sometime but I must admit I have not stopped in for a while. I'm so glad I did today though! I love the new hair releases they put out and I'm wearing  Poland Highlander Bun which happens to be one of my favs. The deep root options are really nice and I'm wearing this messy, sexy bun in Auburn.

Mstyle put out the much anticipated Didi pumps and it was worth the wait. I wish I could of got them all, but my linden balance has taken a hit lately... shopping til I drop. or in this case broke hehe.

My purse and jewelry are new releases  from Izzie's <3 I love the little clutch purses and they come in  a beautiful array of colors . My angular earrings and bracelets are in the Gatcha machine in the discount area of Izzie's and for 20L a play...who could resist.

Cool Shades Bro.

So I stopped in to Collabor88 and saw these cool arse shades by Intrigue Co. They always make these really nice old school/retro items and this is just another creation I will be wearing a lot by them. These glasses scream the cool kids and/or rejects that hang out at the park instead of school , smoking a joint. (drugs are bad kids, mmk?)

So I had to rock it out with the cute varsity jacket by Illmatic and shorts by bellballs. The varsity jackets look good layered with a tank but I wanted to show a little skin with my high waist shorts.

Everything you heard was true...

Two new releases I wanted to blog about comes from the very talented designers of Dura and Ison.
I must tell you they happen to be two of my favorite stores to shop at and it doesn't take much to see why.

Dura released another wonderfully styled hairdo for ladies and gents alike. This is the new Emo hair 07.
The things chaiki can do with prims! You really have to look closely at the work she does and appreciate how much effort and time she puts into placing each strand. I use to dabble in making hair years ago and I know just how much time goes into doing this.

Another beautifully done design comes to us by way of Ison. I adore these fur vests. They are sophisticated as well as versatile. I am all about buying items I can dress up or down and still look great in. The texture is realistic and the construction is figure flattering. You must buy the fatpack because each color is a must have.

Come on over..

I really love the new hair from Love. The options and add on available makes this hair versatile. You can change the front highlights to different colors. The fatpack, which I bought comes with a hud for all the hair colors available. I couldn't chose which color I wanted most and the fatpack price was too good to pass up. You can also buy a add on cut for the part that is shaved. I'm not wearing it in this shot but it's a must have add on. It is also color change and gives the hair a different vibe.

Bad romance has some very sexy dresses out now. I picked up a few things, one being this hot little dress number. I love animal print, and I like how this print is toned down but still visible. The back is a series of straps going across and gives a nice view of your backside. I felt so sexy I had to amp up my cleavage for the shot :P

My ring is by the store {Rangs}, which you can guess makes all types of rings for your avatar to accessories with. The Ankhs ring comes in black, silver and gold.  I love this symbol because it represents life and it reminds me to live it to the fullest.

Colder than a polar bear's toenails.

O M G, it is definitely feeling like Winter here in California. My poor nose keeps running, my outerwear needs a serious update to take on the weather and no matter how many times I wrap my scarf around my head I am still cold.

So, I had to do a wintery post so my avatar doesn't have to suffer like I do. Beautiful Dirty Rich put out some really warm clothing. The jacket and the dress is from BDR. They pretty much cover all the colors in their fatpacks and though my dress is having a bit of a malfunction *cough* my Mesh hair from Wasabi Pills is keeping my left boob pretty warm. Yay mesh!

Apply May Design snuggies are nice and warm. I like the color combinations they come in and the fur lining on these boots keep my feet at a comfortable temp. For extra measure I pulled on my tights from RIDDLE and Scrunched socks from Maitreya. Nice and toasty!!

Today is the last day for the Emery 50% off sale. If you haven't made it over there, hurry up! I bought this cute leather jacket. I love the worn broken in feel of it. I also got these sexy cheeky shorts there. I love how they wear on my avatar.

I'm wearing a bustier under the jacket by Blah and my mesh boots are Decor. I picked them up when they were just 50L, what a bargain.

Bang Bang Bang

Killer heels are the new release by Purrfect 10 and boy are they just that.  I think they are unique and sexy in a sinister kind of way. It's like a warning to those guys or girls out there, to watch their step around this kitten. She has claws...or a gun in this case. The Killer heels come loaded with options. You can change the strap colors, the bullets, the gun barrel, the platform color as well as the sole. The bullets come in silver or gold as does the gun barrel. Each shoe color has a primary color and a black option. So you don't have to buy these in black, it's like having a bonus color.

Emery is having a weekend sale so of course I rushed over to pick up a few choice pieces. Everything is 50% this weekend so run over and splurge!

Birds of a feather

On my search for casual dresses I walked into paperdolls. It's been maybe a year since I have gone there and I was pleasantly surprised to see right off the bat a few items I wanted. One of them being this off the shoulder dress. I like the thin leather waist belt and the fullness of the skirt.  The color is a earthier red that goes  lovely with the skin color of my avatar. The skirt is a mid-thigh length and shows off my legs in a tasteful way.

As soon as I put it on I knew I wanted to pair it with dramatic earrings. Fringe cuff earrings from bellballs were perfect for the look I wanted to go for. They were big, unique and made a statement. I love feather earrings, I have a couple in my RL jewelry case and I wish I had these! I love the color blend and wanted to match my heels to bring them in more.

The highly customizable platform heels from HoC answered my prayers. I love these pumps because there's many different combinations of colors and prints available to play around with. the platform, upper part of the pump and the heel are all texture change. The colors/patterns can match most outfits you may have in your inventory.
