Back in Black

I've never liked being boxed much and anyone who knows me, knows my style jumps all over the place with my mood.  After wandering the grid for a few days as a prima ballerina (see last post) and taking another trip the Festival of Sin, I felt the need to go for something a little more edgy. 

My visit to Festival of Sin proved more than fruitful, I absolutely adore these tights from AddiCt and the body suit from Kyoot is just perfect and both of these delicious items are available from the festival.

Also, my random happy for the day is definitely new LeLutka Mesh Hair and a big YAY for the $1L demos finally being scrapped!

Like a crow chasing a butterfly

When I start to but an outfit together for a blog post, I've usually been inspired by something, a picture, a tv show, a random idea or in this case one particular product.  I was at LoQ a few days again and Gia had released this fabulous hair as a new group gift, it was drool at first sight... and the rest pretty much fell into place.

With some much newness getting around and fabulous stores opening you may have missed the sad news that we are about to lose another store from this wacky world of ours.  Di's Opera will be closing it's doors later this week, so you do have one last chance to get there and snag, what is in my opinion, some of the best poses available.

I am happiest when it's a Glam Affair

You will always find me bouncing off the walls with excitement when I get word of the fact that Glam Affair is about to release a new skin and the introduction of Layla was no exception.  Isn't she lovely?

The below picture is a selection of makeups that are available in the fatpack for this delicious skin.  The shots are raw from SL so you can get a true indication for just how stunning Layla is without my lack of photoshop skills screwing it all up.

There is also an abundance of tattoo layer lipsticks available for the lovely miss Layla so you can mix and match your eyeshadow with your choice of lip colour and I am a big big fan of this!!

Layla is currently available from the Skin and Shape Expo, and honestly she is worth fighting the lag for as Aida Ewing never disappoints!

In other newness we have this delight new dress from S H I N E which is currently available at The Fashion Garret, as much as I do adore this dress though I have to caution that the shoulders are no mod, which makes it interesting to try and fit.  I'm sure designers have their reasons for no modding items, but as a consumer i struggle to understand it myself.

Last but now least LaGyo has had a new release in their Mademoiselle collection and my goodness.. breathtaking is all I can say!

Pose Fair 2011 Part 1

I have an unhealthy addiction to poses, i'll admit it, so letting me loose at Pose Fair was a D A N G E R O U S idea.  As a result my managery of KittyCats are feeling neglected, my SL friends have been wondering why I have been more antisocial than usual and my $L have headed in sharp downward trend that would alarm even the most avid shopper BUT I am one happy little pose junkie. 

I could ramble about the kick ass stuff that is available but lets face it, you don't wanna listen to me, you just wanna see the goodies, so on with the show!

Pose Fair Opens to the public on 1st April at 12pm SLT

Maybe we should just shutup

So much stuff going on at the moment it's hard to keep up.  First up we have Pure Juice, many bloggers have already covered this event so I'm not gonna ramble except to say, this jacket from Ladies Who Lunch is pure love! Next up we have one of a few new releases from The Secret Store in these divine tights, I'm a mad sock, tights, leggings person so I gleefully added these to my wardrobe and as with most Secret Store releases there is a huge abundance of colours to choose from.  Last but not least we have this super schmexy body suit from Mons which you can currently find on sale at The Fashion House for a mere $50L.  Oh also just a quick word about these boots, I had never heard of Kas before until I saw Aida blog them on SLuxury, i was intrigued so I had to check them out.  I have to say they are superbly crafted, colour changeable and a total steal at $299L you really should check em out.

Symphonies of blinding light

So as we all know Skin Fair in full swing and I do have to say, battling the lag for over an hour to finally get my hands Mary, the new Glam Affair skin, was totally worth it.  

Skin Fair runs through until March 6th, so de-prim, put on your patience hat and go, you won't be sorry you did.
