Whew, a whole ton of credits today, and all built around a cute pair of legwarmers. I've so many layered things on I felt like a yeti :-D Suffice to say, you can almost feel the warmth of the cute new legwarmers from Kyoot - and they seem to go with, well...everything.

I really wanted to fit in this purse from Septem too, it's been hanging around in my inventory for a couple of days, screaming cuteness at me.

Washed by the Water...

Washed by the Water...

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!)

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.
