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.

Modiva Fashion Week with The Secret Store

Modiva Fashion Week is an event on most bloggers calenders that can not be missed.  Some of the top designers in Second Life coming together to put on a spectacular show of new and stunning pieces for our enjoyment.  One of the collections I was most looking forward to was of course the amazing offerings from Miss Maylee Oh of The Secret Store.  It will come as no surprise to anyone who reads my blog that any day The Secret Store releases new goodies I'm thrilled, but to release a whole new collection of pure fabulousness... it was like all my Christmases had come at once.    I could gush on for pages about how much I adore all the new pieces on offer, but really nothing I can say will do it justice, so i will simply say Maylee never disappoints and this has never been more true than with her new collection!  Bright, colourful, mix and match and exquisitely crafted new clothes await you, so grab your taxi and check it out!

In another equally important new, Dutch Touch is having a skin sale and pretty much everything is marked down which of course means, it's time to stock up!  No end date has been advertised for the sale, but i would recommend getting there in the next couple of days if you can.

Baggage Claim

This outfit is completely inpired by That 70's Show, largely because I spent most of the week watching a bit of a marathon of it that was running, so here you go, my ode to the 70's!

There isn't too much newness in this post with the exception of this stunning new skin from Glam Affair.  Anyonewho knows me, knows how much I love Aida's skins but Gio completely flawed me, she is sooooo purrrdy!



Don't you agree?

Don't stop 'til it feels right

Hi, how are you all doing?!  Yes, i know this photo is very bright, but i've been having an absolute hell of a time with viewers black screening me, so in the end, I had to pick the best of a bad bunch of shots, hopefully they aren't too awful.  Either way don't let my cruddy photo taking ability sway you from checking out all the yumminess there is.

This dress Maylee Oh released for The Dressing Room last cycle (yes i know, I'm late... sorry!) but it should be available in her shop, if not now, then very soon.  The dress itself does also come with a beautiful big flouncy blue bow and belt, that I am not wearing in this shot, but it screams fun and is so versatile!

The skin I'm wearing is a new release from Apple May Designs that goes by the name of Kat.  I first stumbled across AMD at Pure Juice earlier this year and I have to say whilst that skin was cute, Apple May skins are improving more and more with each release.  There is a sweetness about AMD skins, and I haven't seen too many shapes they don't work on!

Last but not least, I have to totally admit I stole this bag from a blog Harlow Heslop did earlier this week, so thank you Harlow!  The bag is gorgeous and the detail is AMA-ZING!  The bag is mesh, so if you haven't upgraded your viewer yet you won't be able to see it in world.  But upgrading to a mesh capable viewer is worth it, even if it is to just get this bag!

Echos and silence, patience and grace

A little bit more from the stunning new collection available at LaViere with a dash of lots of my other favourite things!  I can't begin to tell you how much I adore this dress, whilst it works perfectly on its own i preferred to pair it with these spiffy leggings made by the fabulous Steffy Ghost. 

Also, I'm loving these skin previews that Ivy Graves has been tossing around for the new line that is due to hit illusory stores eventually.  This particular skin was available at the launch of Collabor88 for a mere $88L (seriously how attractive is that price?).  I believe the skin is still available until the 7th of September but I may be wrong.  I have included a link to the Collabor88 event though for anyone who wishes to check it out.

We built these paper mountains, then sat and watched them burn

LaViere has released a gorgeous new collection and I think Azure Electricteeth has really excelled herself.  I couldn't choose a favourite out of the new releases so I'm pretty sure I go one of just about everything.  Many items feature accents which are tintable which I love as a point of difference.  If you haven't check it out yet, I'd highly recommend it!

Also, Zigana has redone her sim and it is just beautiful, with many many awesome areas to snap some pictures.  Lili Brink has done a post about it here, but seriously step away from Harry Potter Your Story for a half hour or so and go and see it, it's worth the visit.
