Mad Women

No spoilers here but this was my face at the end of Mad Men this week. OMG! What a pearl clutching moment!

SLink's Visage mesh heads are still so much fun to wear. My only complaint is there aren't enough new skins coming out for them. The store with the most Visage skin appliers, and perhaps my favorite, is Adam N Eve. Sachi Vixen, its owner/creator released a new applier called Taliya. I had to have it.

Collabor88 is a vintage style lover's dream this month. My dress, hair, pearls and glasses can all be found there for the rest of May.

We Match!

This adorable and beautifully made little pooch was at The Men's Department and I scooped her right up. And the guys wonder why we women swarmed the event. My little cutie came with a color matching HUD for her sweater. I of course matched her sweater to my Auxiliary cardi. It's nice to dress down once in awhile, isn't it?

Collabor88 - December Edition

There is a lot to love at this December's Collabor88. The wintery theme suits my wintery sim. There are three outstanding homes at Collabor88 to keep us sheltered until the spring weather comes. I'm standing in front of the LISP home, the smallest of the three. I like small. It comes in snowy and non-snowy versions which is good if you don't like changing your home the way you change your dress.

Also from Collabor88 is this adorable coat/dress from The Secret Store, and the bow hair from Clawtooth. It's rare for me to walk around in the same thing for three days, but I made an exception for this ensemble.

Perfect for Fall

I have great news for coldLogic fans! Two new casual dress styles were just released. They're perfect Fall dresses to accessorize with boots, leggings and scarves.

I get all excited by newness in my inventory. But there is definitely a place for the tried and true. When I did an inventory search for leggings to accessorize my look, I thought these cute lacy leggings from G Field gave my new classic styled sweater dress and belt a little style punch. And I've had them for a couple of years!

The second new dress is a little flirty and boho. I love it with my Ison boots and Ispachi scarf!

Witchy Woman at Collabor88

From Clawtooth's Windswept hair to Yummy's earrings and mask to Ison's lacy dress and gladiator boots/sandals for our SLink feet, the October Collabor88 is a winner yet again. I feel quite sexy and mysterious today! Hello Halloween, here I come!

Sweater Weather at FaMeshed

It's October and several creators have great sweaters for our Autumn moods. I'm featuring two new-to-me stores today that are in the October round of FaMeshed. The great color change short sleeve sweater in the top picture is from Mutresse, a store to definitely watch for every new release. In the second picture is a beautifully textured cowl neck sweater from Coquet, so soft and comfortably casual looking that I couldn't resist!

Second Life Problems - A Meme

Second Life has problems, too. And the problems of a Second Life fashionista can be - well - humorous. So for Strawberry Singh's meme this week about memes - I thought I'd take on these heart wrenching problems. 

I came up with more headings than I thought possible, but ultimately decided to share this one. It could have happened, couldn't it?

Rodvik and Me - A Strawberry Singh Meme

Mr. Rodvik Linden arrived at my sim with flair. It's only to be expected. He is the CEO of Linden Lab. I thought I'd show him around but I live on an adult sim. A quick perv at my neighbors through binoculars showed Friar Tyles teaching a women's naked aerobics class in an acid green mankini. Luckily, I don't think Mr. Linden had his draw distance high enough to notice. Goodness, those bouncing babes rez quickly with the new server side rendering!

I had promised Strawberry Singh to keep my time with Rodvik on a PG level so we wandered around for a bit, steering clear of aerobics. I wanted to stop for ice cream but Rodvik said he was watching his weight and thought he might be getting a belly. I told him he was flat as a board, but he was unconvinced. I suspect he was hinting to join the aerobics class, but I feigned ignorance. I didn't want Rodvik to get into trouble with his board of directors. Besides, he's a little stiff.

For those of you scratching your heads with confusion, this is Strawberry Singh's Flat Rodvik Linden Meme. Berry is nuttier than squirrel poop, and a lot more fun. You too can take your picture with the CEO of Linden Lab and join Berry's meme. Pick up your copy of Flat Rodvik Linden on the marketplace HERE. Make sure to follow Berry's meme instructions.

My poses (and the Police Call Box) are from Hopscotch. The binoculars pose in the second photo is available right now at the Liaison Collaborative pose event.  My dress and shoes are new releases from Beetlebones at its new location HERE.

Mr. Linden, if you read this, check out Fatewear! 

You ought to be wearing nice materials enabled mesh since you brought it to the grid. 

Some mesh feet from SLink would look nice, too. Just a thought.

I know I am a little behind with this, as you all probably know I am on a little blogging hiatus, but if anyone if going to make me sneak one in it's the guys from 22769.  Here I am wearing a simple yet elegant gown, available at this months round at The Gallery Gift Shop.  You can also hunt for an envelope clutch bag to go with it. It'll be somewhere in the store.

Hair Fair 2012 - Clawtooth and Wasabi Pills

I visited Hair Fair 2012 yesterday and was in my element. Hair is my vice, always has been, and I was like a kid in a sweetie shop. Clawtooth has become a favourite store of mine, the styles are so soft and feminine and I snapped up all their new releases and in the first picture I am wearing Serendipity. It's so gorgeous! I am fortunate enough to be on Wasabi Pills blogger list and I have all four styles and they are fabulous! In the second picture I am wearing Zoey - probably my favourite of their new ones, but I promise you the rest are amazing too!

Collabor88 time again!

It's Collabor88 time again, my favourite time of the month!  So enthusiastic I was this morning, that when I arrived half an hour early to the event I got my arse kicked out again!  Ever the patient soul that I am, I went back at 8am and filled my boots!  Bargains and goodies galore this month, thank heavens I have been saving my pennies!

Midnight in Paris

This months Collabor88 has a Parisian feel to it and my inventory is stacked full of continental cuteness.  If you come close you might even get a pleasant whiff of garlic and onions.  Geez a kiss!  Okay, on to some of my purchases. Firstly the backdrop is the Paris Penthouse from Barnesworth and Anubis, it will come in handy for my photo shoots.  My bum is parked on Marais Gossip Bench from What Next and it comes with the phone some frames and a little notepad and pen and a great selection of poses.  I couldn't resist the hair from Clawtooth with the cute beret, and it went so well with the Josephine Cropped Sweater from Kyoot and the Seberg Pants mesh pants from Ingenue. You don't see it very well in this picture (sorry I'm feeling arty today) but I am wearing French New Wave eyeliner from Chelle Makeup & Cosmetics, also available at Collabor88.  It's all tres chic!

Now I have Del Boy's hilarious French phrases in my head.  Mange tout, mange tout!

Some faves from Collabor88 January - so far...

 I hit Collabor88 first thing this morning. Ayla, being on another continent, had such a head start, so I got a hint or two from her Plurk.

The mesh coat from SLink is incredibly gorgeous.  Only the coat is a Collabor88 item in this first picture, but it's truly the star.  After a little fussing, I went for a sophisticated look, adding my new Truth updo, Celoe mesh gloves, Mon Tissu part-mesh skirt, and Dark Mouse earrings. 

I went on to look at a few more of the items I picked up at Collabor88 was impressed with the scalloped mesh top and darling necklace from Willow.  I'm loving the Clawtooth hair, and will probably go back to pick up the other style as well.  I think I love every piece of Yummy jewelry I have seen, including the bracelets shown and matching earrings (not shown due to hair - you know how that is).

52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Champagne by Dolly

Luna Jubilee announced a second year of her famous color challenge and I am excited to take part this year! Aptly the first color announced was champagne, a color I studied quite a bit last night. I tried on - oh - about 684 outfit combinations before settling on this, Celoe's very first gift when the store opened. I added some Dark Mouse earrings and necklace for accessories, Clawtooth hair, and my bubbly that came with the Glitterati poses. Cheers!
