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.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Cerise

And of course my first post for the new year is a catch up one, i think cerise was the colour of the week, umm  2 weeks ago now.. oops my bad!  I blame lateness on Christmas, New Years and that fact that Dell still has not delivered the computer that I purchased close to a month ago.  But bitching ain't gonna get me caught up so moving right along.

I hope you all had a fabulous New Years and 2011 turns out to be everything you want it to be!  Also, i'm going to be changing a few bits and pieces around on this little patch of dirt I call my blog, starting with the inclusion of the designers names in the credits, I often search this way to find particular stores and find it useful so hopefully you guys will too.

So long live the car crash hearts

So long live the car crash hearts

Cry on the couch

All the poets come to life

Fix me in 45...

I love me some new jackets, so I'm surprised not everyone on grid heard my delightful squeals when I stumbled across this utterly gorgeous new aviator jacket from JANE.  It landed in my inventory just in time to rug up against the elements and survive the horrid weather we have been having for the past week. Also, just as a random side note I do have to say I love love love it when creators put jacket collars as spine attachments instead of chest ones, which Janie Marlowe of Jane does, so you are awesome, thank you!

I was also fortunate enough to get a nice little distraction from the miserable rainy weather by way of a surprise from the lovely Slava Parkin of Garage, who was kind enough to drop me off a copy of her newly released Alexa skin series to have a play with .  The skin comes in a plain or bronzed version and has a nice dewy feel to it. 

With 3 different skin shades annnnnnd some of Slava's fabulous tattoo layer eyeshadows and lashes, there is definitely something for everyone, so go and check out Garage!
