Zodiac - Libra

Zodiac is back for another round, this time sharing all the loveliness of the Libra sign.

"Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. There is a mellowness and sense of relaxation in the air as mankind enjoys the last of the summer sun and the fruits of his toil. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring".

With stores such as Exposeur, Adorkable Poses, DCNY, Essences, MudHoney and many more participating this round, it is simply a must visit on your next shopping trip!

Welcome to Zodiac

Zodiac is a new monthly event bought to you by the Hottie Cooterati Experience and, of course, as the name gives away each cycle is based on an astrology sign.  This month's sign is the Leo. 

Leo's being represented by the Lion, often consider themselves to be the monarchy of humanity, stubborn, fierce and often relentless in their pursuits of grandeur and dominance.  They will never back down from a fight and generally live by the motto of what you see, is what you get.

Yet like all signs, there is polar side to their personalities.  Leo's are warm of spirit, eager for action and driven by their desire to be loved.  Proud and loyal, when a Leo loves you, they love you with everything they have.

Each designer in the cycle has offered up an array of Leo inspired goodies for your pleasure.  Some of the designers in this cycle are:

Exposeur
Elymode
Glitterati
Kyoot
Aura
Mons
Handverk
Miamai
and many more.

The skin i'm wearing in the both of the above shots is available from Mon exclusives at the this month's Zodiac event.

Zodiac is open now and runs through until the 17th of August.

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.

4 Corners, which side are you on?

4 Corners is an event that is the brain child of the amazing Emily Kaestner of Croire.  The basic theme is the promotion of four current fashion trends being Delicate Damsel, Bikes and Spikes, Alluring Modesty and Delightfully Bright.  The sim is literally divided into four corners, one for each theme.  The designers participating are confinded to the theme of their relevant corner and oh my are there some awesome goodies to be had!  Most of what i'm wearing come from the Bikes & Spikes corner, which I pesonally had a lot of fun in!

The event started at midnight so is open NOW.  All that is left to decide is, whose side are you on?

Don't change your mind, you're wasting light

I fell in love with Lara Hurley Skins at Vintage Fair (I know, I know, I was slow to get on that train!) so upon a visit to the store recently I found the stunning new skin release Emma.  There is absolutely nothing about this skin that I just simply don't adore. 

Also, new handbags make me happy... you need House of Fox in your life!

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.

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.
