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.

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
