Washed by the Water...

There's something so beautifully romantic about this Pretty White Dress dress from Saeya Nyanda of Kyoot. It's not even that it's pure crisp white either, the folds of fabric are so pretty, and the bustier with it's subtle patterned fabric. I feel like I'm about to be sacrificed in a pagan ritual, or something :-)

I've kept it simple, because the dress is so beautiful by itself, so I've just teamed it with this lovely slightly freeflowing haircut from Maitreya and this gorgeous leaf necklace from Nha!

Thank you to the beautiful Delusional, for the location suggestion :-)

Some bargains today! This great jacket comes in a set from Izumiya that costs 25L$ for a complete outfit!! 50L shorts from Jane and this fab satchel which is currently free (in this colour only) as part of the introduction of the range, from House of Fox!! All worth checking out :-)

I'm still wearing the Gos Curvaceous boots, along with a couple of items from stores that are new to me. This cute little 'Geek is the new chic' tee is from a new store called Respect! and comes in two different lengths (this is the short one). The hair plus hat is from ++Ay.Line++. I'm really into hats and this store has loads of hair plus hat combos at really reasonable prices (Although I really wish the packs were bigger than just 2 colours!)

Location: The Mother Road

Sometimes I think that because I do location shots for the blog, the locations get a little ignored, because I'm staring at shoes, or some fabulous jacket or hat...or focussing on getting a shadow in the right position.

So, I thought I'd change things up a bit, by doing what might turn out to be a series of posts on the locations I use for my blog. Some kindly folks, in my comments here on the blog and on Flickr have mentioned locations or asked about them recently, and I admit it'll be nice to have a little break from styling once a week or something, so I can just sit around in my underpants drinking tea and eating chocolate hobnobs :-)

I started with this location - The Mother Road, because I love it and it deserves tribute for offering a multitude of options for style and photo's in one place. I heart it bigtime!!

As a sidenote, all of the shots are raw snapshots, with just a border added, except the car picture to which I added some headlight glow. I've used a sunset windlight setting and had SL shadows enabled.

SLURL

Save me from myself...

If I were to be run over by a bus today, I'd die happy because I have worn and loved the new Curvaceous boots from GoS by Gospel Voom. There are -so- many things about these boots that make them perfect, yes really... and I'm not even bum licking because I got a review copy (I didn't). They really are that good, that I was almost having palpitations when I TP'd into the store.

The boots come in a big range of colours and really aren't that expensive at 695L$, but what I love is that if you want to wear another colour you don't have to purchase a new pair...you just spend 300L$ on a "polish".The boots also come with 3 heel options built in. I'm wearing the wedge heel in these pictures, but there is also a stiletto and chunky heel. Everything has been thought of!

I think these boots are so obviously sexy, that I decided to dress them down with this casual Sunday look with some of my favourite items, including the fab Yulia Blazer from Modd.G and this cute paperboy hat from Maitreya.

So much news that I almost neglected to mention another exciting event...the opening of 'Kozmetika'...a store dedicated to tattoo makeups and includes - CheLLe, Cheap Makeup, Mozz, and Booms own new makeup brand which I am wearing some eyeliner from, here (except my picture fails a bit) =D

Happy Sunday!

Gimme a minute to figure it out...

I've been wearing jeans alot...like ALOT! My last few blog posts have heavily featured comfortable looks for a reason I can't really fathom :)

Anyhoo - loving this tee from Milk Motion for this weeks Project Themeory, and it's still available for 75L at the front of the store. I'm a total victim of the Seasons Hunt too, having gone to find the KiiTos item, and instead buying this adorable pea coat.

This little clutch bag comes in the set with the bigger bag I featured yesterday! A bargain for 120L$

Revisiting my Illusory skins today too...just felt like it :D

Newness from Dutch Touch, Lamb, The Seasons Hunt, Addict and Mandala today!!

I had to offset the sheer amount of lindens I spent on this gorgeous new skin, by finding bargains elsewhere (shakes pixellated fist at Iki Ikarus <33). So I am wearing this cute blouse which was 30L$ at Ribbon and this GREAT bag which was only 120L$ from BareRose. Both TOTALLY worth grabbing when you can!! :) The blouse comes in different patterns too, of course and there's a cute little flowery dress instore as the current group gift. Click the Subscribo!!

I might blog that tomorrow, hmmmm...

A simple look today, created out of my current RL need to be comfy (Damn you Flu virus!) - and because I really wanted to blog a look around the fabulous new Scarf Belts from The Secret Store, and this 'Scarab' hairstyle which LeLutka released yesterday!

Have a great weekend everyone :-)

Today I got to shop and mess around with poses and photo's with the lovely Kaelyn Alecto (Vorhees - darn name changing confusion :D) from SweetSexyCrazy. We'd chatted about doing a blog post for, well...months!

Today we're featuring some newness from both Mon Tissu and Vive9, with some favourite pieces thrown in for good measure!

You can read Kaelyn's stylecard on her blog *here*. Thanks Kae, I had a blast :D Where did those 5hours go!? :D Mwah!! xoxo

Let's see how far we've come...

Yesterday, I was wandering around some possible photo sites, wondering what the heck I was going to blog.I was lacking in inspiration and in a bit of a funk. Standing at the landing point of the Kaso sim, pondering lifes annoyances...when Sora Ashbourne literally fell from the sky and ontop of me :D So thanks Sora, for providing today's outfits inspiration with this fab new jacket from Sweetest Goodbye - Mwah!!

It's also the last day of the Oneeleven event today, so I am wearing the fabulous Nina skin from Glam Affair, as a reminder to go grab it, if you're feeling flush enough! God give me the strength to not go back for the two other makeups I didn't buy thus far ;-) Or, see me wearing them in tomorrow's blog lol.

I've also been wanting to use this funky Ricielli pose for a while now. So big thanks to the bench for allowing me to :P

Yupyup, here I go again with the closeups of me looking at something very interesting just outside picture range.

Some bits n bobs from a great store called en Svale today. It's worth checking out if you're big into boho chic :-)

I guess you'd call this a Sunday stroll look (alternatively known as the 'I came dressed as my 60yr old secondary school science teacher' look)

Listening to:

I got my peeps, they're telling me they know where it's at

Some days, no matter how long I spend standing in a static pose, messing with sliders, my pictures just don't turn out quite as I'd hoped. However, I am loving some of the pieces I am wearing today, so you're gonna have to suffer my shiney forhead nonetheless ^^

New Kyoot eyemakeups make me happy!! As do these fabulous shoes from Peqe, which I am trying to stop myself buying in every colour (I'll probably fail on that one)

My dear friend Delusional also posted a little challenge of sorts, on her blog yesterday. She asked the question "Who is your fashion inspiration?" so I couldn't let the moment pass without mentioning a few of my favourite bloggers.

Carolina Sautereau's Blog and Nana Minuet's Blog are the blogs that inspired me to start blogging myself...their style, and photography are stunning and I constantly find myself thinking "Wow, why didn't I think of that?"

I should also mention Estrella Thespian and Estella Magic, and Demi and Poppy's blogs. All these girls have a style I am jealous of...I generally hang around outside their houses, hoping I can sneak in and steal their wardrobes and fashion sense. I don't let a day pass without reading and drooling over all these blogs!

Have a great day

Dai

New year pressies from Maylee! Yay! I'm always so excited when I see newness from The Secret Store, because I know I will love it. This 'Les Bleuets' jacket, which comes in 4 colour combinations, is no excception. I love that Maylee teased us mercilessly by posting even her initial sketches for this, on her Flickr stream.

I've teamed it simply, with my current favourite jeans from Mon Tissu, and these cute flats which are reasonably new and from [e] Elikatira.

I also wanted to feature the new Illusory releases, as the sim opened last night while I was asleep...is it wrong that I woke up thinking about getting there asap? :D I always know that Ivy Graves skins will look great on my shape, since, well...she made that too!

Leave your number on the locker, I'll give you a call...

Anyone who reads my blog regularly will know I am a long time lover of Saeya Nyanda's fabulously cute store, Kyoot. This dress, vest and sock combo I am wearing today is Kyoot's widely blogged addition to this weeks Stumblebum hunt. Although soon to end, the item is still in store right now, and well worth grabbing!

I'm also wearing some fab jewellery from Pink !nc - a store that's new to me, but I am loving this choker! It goes so well with a ton of my cute Kyoot wear. I'm gonna call that Kyootness.

Until next time...xoxo

Today is a cute look based around this hairstyle from Posh, that I found while browsing around the Project Themeory for this week. The skirt I am wearing today is part of the hunt and available from LMK with 2 colours in the pack - bargain!

I'm kinda ashamed to admit, that the skin I am wearing today is the first I have purchased from Pink Fuel, and now I am kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner...not only are her skins amazing quality and value at just 1/300L$ per makeup, they're also supercute on my regular shape.

More newness from Ricielli's 5th collection today, and a long time fave from my inventory...these Le Plateau heels from Magnifico Miggins <3
