I'm a dork.. I know, I know!

And this post is just another example! I saw the new Redgrave skin and I just *had* to try it. I headed over and picked up the demo, knowing full well that if I liked it, too bad because it's clearly a skin for brunettes, and while I have been brunette from time to time, I think I prefer blonde me. (I digress...) I tried it on, and that's where my problems began. I didn't just like this skin. I LOVED it! I just knew with a tweak here and there, it would be perfect on me! -So I carted out my alt and SHE got the star treatment for the new Redgrave: Bella skin. I am not exaggerating when I say I am obsessed with this skin. Check it out for yourself:

It's a much more intense look than my usual, but I find it stunning.

What You Can See:
Skin: REDGRAVE - BELLA <3 <3 <3
Hair: Truth - Tammy
Top: Kyoot - Chained Thread Top

Catwa & Kookie!

While browsing through my usual list of respected blogs, I stumbled across this hair. I have a few Catwa 'dos, and I like them well enough, but for some reason, I don't check the store as often as I probably should. But this hair, well, Look how adorable it is!! For shame on me if I'd missed it!

I love the swirl in front!

Now let's talk shoes. Technically, I probably don't need more. I probably have enough shoes in my inventory to find something for any outfit I already have or don't realize I'm going to purchase. Boots, heels, tennis shoes, sandals.. you name it. But, you know, who cares? LOOK AT THESE CUTIES! Little ankle boots with a chunky heel from Kookie. So worth checking out. Only 500L per pair, too. Quality at a reasonable price. Can life get better? I submit that it canNOT. (Hmm, I may have stolen those last two sentences from a comedian!)

Top to Bottom:
Skin: Filthy - Laika
Hair: Catwa - Amylee
Top: Boom - Boyfriends Tee
Bottom: League - Thermal Skirt
Socks: League - Thermal Long Socks
Shoes: Kookie - Dirty Muse
Earrings: Mandala - Senjyu Earrings

See you next time! xoxo

Oops, I made a Mesh!

Get it?! I'm so clever! Except I didn't MAKE this mesh... I'm just wearing it. Whatever.

ANYWAY! I am wearing mesh in this outfit! Can you spot it without looking at the credits? Here, look at the full outfit:

If you said pants, you're totally... WRONG! Ok, now I'm just being obnoxious. It's MAH HAIR! I skipped over to Wasabi Pills and picked up a few demos of their mesh hair. Only a couple really worked on me, but I loved the starkness of this style. I don't really have anything like it, believe it or not. Mesh hair is... OK. I have to admit, I probably wouldn't choose it over Truth 99.999999% of the time. But it was something different and fun! Here's a close-up:

Making Meshes:
Skin: Filthy - Laika
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Sebastianne (Mesh!)
Top: COCO - White Tank Top
Pants: League - Zipped Leather Pants (omgah, <3 )
Belt: L&B - Death Skull Belt
Shoes: MStyle - Alah Wedges

Hey, guys! Truth District is having a sale! So is Ricielli! Go go NOW! xoxo

More Maitreya Mesh:

Oh, I have no doubt this blog will be full of Maitreya mesh in time. Don't get me wrong, there are some good mesh products out there that aren't Maitreya, and I will feature them, too. Celoe (Lelutka/mon tissu) set the bar by presenting beautiful mesh, and (in MY opinion), Maitreya raised it. I present you with the beautiful Athena sweater, and the Radical Boots! Both mesh, both amazing.

Maitreya Mesh:
Skin: Filthy - Laika
Hair: Truth - Velvet (CUTE HAIR ALERT!!!)
Top: Maitreya - Athena Sweater (mesh!)
Pants: mon tissu - Lou Lou Jeans
Shoes: Maitreya - Radical Boots (mesh!)
Earrings: Magic Nook - Baroque Earrings


I have to give props where they are due, and I know I blog Maitreya often, but they have a commitment to quality that I respect very much. They are certainly not the only ones. I could rattle off lots of designers who I believe foot the same bill... and on this blog, I have. See you guys again soon! xoxo

Black on Black

This one is mostly about the hair. Lots of bloggers have featured it lately, and I am just one more added to the list. It's Truth. Of course. It comes with and without bangs, and the big, messy bun on top reminds me of a "sock bun". (Elle knows what I mean!!) Also, I reeeeeally like this one.

What is it:
Skin: Filthy - Laika (new on me!) <3
Hair: Truth - Leesa (so in love with this!)
Tank: mon tissu - Joli Beaded Tunic
Pants: Ison - Leather Leggings
Shoes: BAX - Black Leather Boots
Earrings: Mandala - Luck
Tattoo: Chelle - Songstress

Also, has anyone else noticed the influx of leather pants from designers lately? I got three pair in one night because I couldn't decide which I liked better. (I'm a fashion glutton, what can I say?!) In the pic above, I'm featuring the ISON leather leggings, which I think are absolutely gorgeous. If you've never stepped into ISON, please do yourself a favor and go right NOW.

And... I admit my avatar used to wear way more tattoos than I do now. I like them, for the most part... I'm just WAY lazy about adding them to outfits. Except for the subtle gem I'm wearing across my collarbone up there. I love that one. Thank you, Chelle! xoxo

It's the Gospel Truth...

Let's face it, ladies. We all know that Gospel Voom has some seriously serious awesome shoes. When I first saw THESE.. I had to have them. When I got around to fitting them to my avi, and it took very little effort so I was very pleased, I knew exactly why. I think they're awesome! Socks are color change and the boots can be worn loose or fitted. In this pic, I have them fitted. Soooo precious!

And THEN... look at the gift Truth gave us! One of two new 'dos released by Truth Hawks this past weekend. Oh, I got them both. I'll blog the other soon! This one is Andrea, and she makes me feel oh-so-pretty!

Preach it, sister:
Skin: Filthy - Laika
Hair: Truth - Andrea
Top: Echo - Sweater Green with Stripes
Pants: mon tissu - Lou Lou Jeans
Shoes: GOS - Aviator Boots
Earrings: Magic Nook - Vintage DJ Earrings

Also, I got these earrings at The Dressing Room, and they have been one of my favorites since I purchased them. Little records dangling from my ears! *squee*! xoxo

HAPPY NEW YEAR... and other stuff!

The official Happy New Year photo... autographed copies on Marketplace! (not really, for those of you who just blinked at your screen)

Queen Elle is in a 50L Friday (RIP!) dress she picked up from Tres Blah. Princess Laryn is in the Sequin Scoop Dress by League. I loooove them both!

And now for more!

Speaking of 50L Friday, Kyoot always had some precious stuff, including this awesome sweater! I liked it so much, I picked up two... yeah, I was THAT girl. Also, I couldn't survive a winter (I've had them since Dec 2009, I believe) without these Kookie boots. Love them!

Kyoot stuff:
Skin: Filthy - Jasmine
Hair: Truth - Clara
Top: Kyoot - Simple Cozy Sweater
Pants: Kyoot - Zipper Cords
Belt: Mandala - Kookai Belt
Shoes: Kookie - Pomski Boots

Oh, wait, there's more!! (You're welcome!) Did someone say badass?

Another gem I've had in my inventory for quite some time is this awesome leather jacket from Grasp. I have tried on other leather jackets, but this one, in my opinion, kinda tops them all when you're looking to be a badass.

The outfit:
Skin: Filthy - Jasmine
Lipstick: Pink Fuel - Glam Lipstick (comes with Elly skin)
Hair: Magika - Distracted
Dress: Sticky Fingers - My Black Sweater Dress
Jacket: Grasp - Black Leather Jacket

Hope your last night of 2011 was awesome, and I hope the start of your 2012 is more-so. UPDATE YOUR VIEWER!!! xoxo
