Cause this city is my city

Hello my sweets, i know it has been a while but I've been having no end of crashing viewer issues, which always making blogging so much more enjoyable.  Be that as it may, there are just too many tasty treats getting around at the moment, to not persevere and show you some stuff. 

This delightful dress from Tram was new when i bought it (a month ago) but if you haven't seen it yet, I would highly recommend it.  Well crafted and versatile I had a lot of fun playing dress ups with it.  It is mesh though, so make sure you have a mesh enabled viewer and of course try the demo before purchasing.

The hair I'm wearing may just be my favourite mesh release so far, it was a beauty from LeLutka a couple of weeks ago and i looove it.  In fact, i haven't taken it off since I purchased it.

The last thing I have been dying to show you are these stunning eyes from Fleur du Mâle.  The shots below are raw from SL so you can get a true feel for how they look.

Fleur du Mâle is a relatively new brand that, for the moment, just creates eyes.  But if these eyes are anything to go by, I am very much looking forward to seeing what they do next.  As you can see the colour combinations are gorgeous and you get a plethora of size and shade options in the pack when you purchase it.  The above is just a small sample of the tones available.  Since they say the eyes are the windows to the soul, you really should make this a stop on your next shopping trip.

Hair Fair Part 3

Hair from [Kik] - Kik's offerings at Hair Fair this year may be my most favourite styles from her yet,  her styles are always fun and cute and I'm loving the messy appeal!

Left to right we have Heidi, Fine and Tilda (head piece is optional)

Hair by Elikatira - What is there to say about Elika hair that hasn't already been said?  She is amazing, her styling is flawless and she takes up more space in my inventory than I care to admit! You must get this hair!

Left to right we have Story, Pretend and With

Hair by Aoharu - Machang always offers hair that is so unique.  I first stumbled across her hair at last year's Hair Fair and was thrilled to see her back again.  There is definite summery appeal to her styles this year!

Left to right we have Gemma, Megan and Daria

Hair Fair for 2011 runs through until the 15th of July, so you still have time to deprim and get your butts over there!

I still call Australia home

I'm always travelling, I love being free

and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea

but my heart lies waiting over the foam

I still call Australia home...

I'm scrapping in with barely 30 minutes to spare but, I hope all my fellow Aussie SLers had a wonderful Australia Day!

<3

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Goldenrod

I wasn't exactly sure what colour Goldenrod was, so I spent some time with my good friend google only to find out that Goldenrod is the colour of a Crayola Crayon.  I figured dressing up as a crayon was probably a touch too easy so instead this was my best attempt at using some yellow hues.

Ladylike

And there's a part of you

that's just a little scared of her

axis turns the world

and you need a jet to get to her

she's great and she knows

how to wear the pants

and the rest of your clothes...

Every now and again I like to slip outta my oh so comfy jeans and surprise people.  See ma... I can look like a lady, somtimes...

Lyrics from Ladylike by Storm Large

Everyone's got their chains to break

I've got another confession to make, I'm your fool,

Everyone's got their chains to break, holding you,

Were you born to resist, or be abused?

Is someone getting the best of you?

I love finding new stores I haven't yet raided and stumblebum this week pointed me in the direction of TokiD...I have two words to describe it, SUPER CUTE!

Seasons Hunt Fun

Two posts in one day, look out... and yes, i know my eyes look kinda freaky, SL is being a pain and I can't focus them for love nor money today so lets just move right along to the good stuff.

The Seasons Hunt is upon us and there are scrummy treats to be had.  Most of the leaves are relatively easy to find, as long as they haven't been shrunk to within an inch of their pixel life but even then, the group is super helpful.  So go, hunt and enjoy...
