Only Girl in the World

As my poor flu stricken guy is laying in a little heap by the fire, I guess I found time to post today after all!

I was thrilled to log in today, to bountiful goodies in my mail. The new collection at Ricielli is of course released, and I am honoured that my little blog somehow managed to earn itself the right to feature some of the amazing newness in store.

Today I am keeping it simple, and featuring this gorgeous party dress named Jeane. I love the flirty neckline on this dress and the choice of colours and fabrics is as always with Ricielli....amazing.

Definately my choice for New Years Eve! Happy New Year and all the best for 2011, everyone

Dai xoxo

Aaaaaaargh! Not blogging for a week is both a blessing and a curse - think I might've heard that in a movie once ;-) As joyous as it is to return to a plethora of shopping opportunities, I also feel like I am swimming in a sea of new cool things to blog, and can't keep up!

Newness at Mon Tissu (omg cute undies, shrugs, and basic style tee's), LAQ (Vilda), new shooz at Elikatira, new collection at Ricielli, best of the best at The Dressing Room, and new stuff at Modd.G (Yulia Blazer for the win!)

I wanted to do a double post today so I have half a chance of keeping up! Also some music today, because I'm working my way to New Years Eve party goodness =))))

So here it is...I hope you enjoy.

Dai xoxo

A long December

My last blog before Christmas and new year!

Newness from Vive9 today. I'm so totally in love with this new skin, she has such a natural beauty 'Kate Moss' look about her and I soooo love how she looks with this fabulous new haircut from Exile.

The rest of the outfit, was a wonderful find from Gigi Couture. I was wandering around the cupcake sim and realised I hadn't been to Gigi in a while. So glad I did!

The poses I've used today are new from Marukin and named 'Buttermilk'. I adore Val's poses and they are SUCH a bargain too!

I've decided the LeLutka team are trying to kill me, before Christmas arrives. I was this <--> close to having a cardiac after this weeks hair releases and now we have new apparel too!

Soooo, I've been playing around with windlight settings and I fell in love with this foggy one. I wasn't intending to use it for blog pictures, but I just couldn't help myself when I saw the results. I guess I'm feeling wintery :)

...and yes, I still haven't taken the new Glam Affair skin, Jadis, off yet.

Halfway Gone

It's no secret by now that I am a big fan of Maylee Oh's 'The Secret Store'. Maylee has 3 complete outfits in the current Modavia Pop Art show, so today I thought I'd take some parts of those and dress them down for everyday wear. I love the jacket from the 'Wild Pop Lady' ensemble teamed with these great skinny jeans from store of the moment, Mon Tissu.

I was also lucky enough to receive a message from Ms Plum Mongrain of PlumTreePoses containing some fabulous winter themed poses! Go check out her store!

By your side...

I have a week off from blogging and come back to a ton of things I really REALLY want to fatpack. My poor wallet :D Mon Tissu, although well blogged, is so worthy of all the attention it's getting. Every - single - item in the store is amazing. I bought one of everything ><

A new skin from Glam Affair this week too. Anyone who reads my blog regularly will know I've had a love affair with Nina, the Glam Affair skin from one eleven, and I fear the new release 'Jadis' is going to be just the same. It's the first time I've fatpacked a skin in a while!

Newness today from Miss Maylee Oh of The Secret Store, new Lamb hair and and a gorgeous new skin from Candy Doll!! I <3 that Rebeca offers so many choices of makeup, and tattoo layer lipsticks and glosses with her skins.

One Eleven

So, unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you'll know that 1.11pm yesterday saw the opening of the exclusive One Eleven event. 45 Designers with exclusive event only items, and only 111 copies of each!

After 2hrs of trying to TP into the sim I gave up :P But as luck would have it, first try this morning came good, so here's some of my haul. Lucky my Avi doesnt eat, because it'd be a lean couple of months otherwise! :D

I am wearing Glam Affair's addition - this OMGWTFAMAZING skin called Nina, that I am definately not taking off for a while. Plus jewells from LaGyo and hair from !Lamb.

The cute outfit I am wearing is from Light Claven of Glasnost, as part of the Black Friday event. It's still available at the Euphoria sim, at last check! Bargain, go grab it!!

Visit One Eleven HERE!

Visit Euphoria HERE!

You keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun

Lots of stuff going on today! A new hunt, Skin addicition group stuff, Black Friday deals and 50L Friday, and I've ignored all of it :D

The skin I'm wearing today, will be released on Monday. It's from Style by Kira by Kira Paderborn, and is named Kylie. It's the 3rd in a series of 5 (1 released per week), as all Kira's skins are. I am so in love with the heavy eye makeup on this one!

...And so Christmas party season approaches. What is it with work parties starting before December?!

AtomicSparkle of Swansong released this gorgeous dress today and it got me thinking about party preparations. I didn't wanna blog it that simply though, so I sort of added some pieces I love :)

I think it works....

Ps - I blame Vittoria for the title, but the song kinda fits the outfit. Paolo Nutini for the win!!

Here Tomorrow, Gone Today

<3 this new scarf from LaGyo which is one of a range released today. I love how it looks fluffy and cozy. If you stare at it long enough, it freaks out the eyes and I start to feel a bit high. An added bonus I guess =D

I'm sporting one of the two new skins from Curio today. This is 'Yum' which frankly, is exactly that. Anyone who pervs my Flickr will have seen an extra picture of it there.

I hadn't bought much hair from Truth for a while - and there's been so much new fab hair released this Autumn and Winter. I am in love with this 'Francesca' style though. It has a ton of great options for wear, and the soft curls and way it frames the shoulders is to die for!

Everything else is gathered from my inventory - one of my fave cardi's from Concrete Flowers, a great dress from Emery, and this belt from Indyra Originals which I've had -forever- and was a real revelation to rediscover! Gotta love typing something random into your inventory and finding something you forgot or never knew you owned!

The boots need no introduction of course!

Mila, Mera & Daphne

Some simple shots today. Blarg, forgive the lack of blogs, especially in the midst of such SL gorgeousness. It's been a rough few days IRL...I'll be back to full bloggy speed soon!

I intend to give the gorgeous new LeLutka skin featured here, much more 'air time' this week. It's perfect in every way and a sheer delight to picture. I must admit, when I first tried on the demo, I wasn't sure, but after realising I'd stared at it, and particularly at the gorgeous eyebrows for a good 15 minutes I was in love. Everything about this skin screams quality and beauty. Even her nostrils are perfect, for goodness sakes :D

Newness from the lovely Moddishh today too, with these 2 new cute tops!! They definately go in my 'everyday cuteness at hand' folder :)

Rabbit heart

I've been trying to blog this look for 2 days now. I just couldn't get anything right, location, pose, shadows, blarg :D You know sometimes, things just don't go to plan...However, delaying it a little did mean that I got to include this hair style which is one of the two new cuts from Elikatira, and the new release from Dutch Touch....version2 of Jolie, with all new nose, body and a whole ton of tattoo layer hairbase and lipstick options. I also love the freckle and beauty mark layer too.

I'm also wearing the IRMA shirt from LeLutka, a new release that has been widely blogged, but I'm so in love with that I'm joining the crew. I pushed the boat out and opted for green though, a colour I don't often chose :)
