Diamond on a landmine

Sooooo, a new look for my blog today. I really like the freshness of it and it was time for a change.

Just don't ask about the title...I've been listening to alot of Billy Talent lately. This girl looks like she doesn't want to be messed with though!

Autumn In Bloom

I was so excited to log in to new goodies today =) I'm pleased to be featuring new releases from The Secret Store and LaGyo.

This fabulous Bloom dress I am wearing, is Maylee Oh's newest release, and is available in store from today! I am wearing the tartan version named 'Scottish Dahlia' but there are 3 more designs to chose from. I am sure I will be featuring more of them in the coming days because I cannot tell you how much I love it!

These awesome 'Cursus' earrings are part of the extensive Autumn releases from LaGyo, and are colour change!

I am also wearing the newest skin from LAQ named Claudia2, after telling myself I was going to save some lindens, then made the mistake of trying it on ;-) I am so in love with the shading on this skin, there's something so smooth and glamourous about it and the makeup choices as always, are fantastic!

Modd.G Newness

I was so chuffed when I saw moddishh circulating on Flickr a few weeks ago. The promise of new things from one of my favourite designers in SL is always great news, and the Modd.G brand has been high on my list since my first weeks in SL. I think I wore my pink tulip dress for a week straight and often still wear it now =)

So I was excited to visit the newly laid out store today after I recieved a notecard about the fabulous new releases. I am sure I will be featuring more items over the coming days and weeks, but here are a few things I picked up today including the fabulous glasses, which along with some socks/tights, are a group gift on a table just inside the store. Go and grab them for yourself!! =)

Call for Couture - Maven Haus

The Call for Couture event is now on and runs until the 31 October! You can visit the sim here, to buy ready to wear items, or bid on the auctions to perhaps bag yourself an exclusive item, of which there will only be a few inworld.

Today I'm featuring this fabulous 'Noyeb' dress from Maven Haus. It's not the easiest thing I've ever worn, but it definately makes a statement! I like to step outside of my cute box once in a while and try something different.

The tattoo layer makeup is from Nuuna's skin, also available for purchase at Call for Couture!
I think it's going to be a busy few days checking out this fabulous event!!

Sunday Stumblebum Stuff

I'm a sucker for new stuff from Kyoot. I feel like I blog it weekly almost, in some way shape or form :D So today, here's this weeks offering from Saeya, for the Stumblebum hunt. The pack contains 3 versions of a high waisted skirt (I'm wearing the tweed one here) and a second pack of gorgeous eye makeups.

Tis the season of boots and chunky cardigans too, both of which are from Concrete Flowers, today.

10th Lurani and AuTre

Today I decided to feature this 'Darkness Frills' dress from AuTre that Aurora Tremont has designed for 10th Lurani.

10th Lurani was created by Gisele Mubble of Lurani, and her vision was to create a then linden shop that maintained the quality of her mainshop Lurani. Everything at 10th Lurani is only ten lindens, this includes gowns, mini's, tee's, and even skin fatpacks!

Here's the LM!

Nanna's Old Scarf

When I was a kid and Autumn came around, my Grandmother would get out all her hats and scarves and my younger sister and I would dress up in them, seeing how many scarves and hats we could wear at once.

Todays post reminds me of that...Autumn is hat and scarf season, but you can get away without those thick woolen ones and opt for patterns and colours and lighter fabrics. I sooo love everything in this outfit.

I've also opted for a different skin and shape to my normal LAQ favourites and opted for 'Audri' from Atomic instead.

New Stuff Ahoy!

I'm featuring some new stuff today from Truth, Miel and Hyper Culture. All fabulous names that I've loved since my first weeks in SL.

This gorgeous new top named Elle, from Miel is fabulous. I am wearing the 'uber' version in which ever part is colour and texture changeable. Everything I've ever owned from Miel has been so easy to fit.

These low waisted jeans are new (ish) from Hyper Culture. I often have problems with jeans for some reason, but these are perfect. The cuffs at the bottom are perfectly shaped and sized to wear with flats as well as heels.

'Estelle' which I am wearing in chestnut tone, is one of the 3 newest releases from Truth this week. It's a little different to the norm, in that it has both upper and lower layers, so you can decide for yourself.

2) This gorgeous hairpiece from Tyranny thats available for this weeks Stumblebum. (Slurl corrected! Sorry to those I sent to Atomic)
