You can't always get what you want.

...but if you try sometime, you just might find you get whatcha need.

I'm so totally crushing on Hank Moody/David Duchovny right now having just watched the last in the season of Californication, that it kinda flowed into my blog posts title. Apols!! :D

A summer look today featuring some goodies from the new ranges at TokiDoki and glow studio, and this hair avec HUUUGE hat from Amacci, just because I love hats, and this ones a corker!

Love this life, don't wait 'til the next one comes.

So, I'll admit....Reek isn't the first place I think of when I want to go shoe shopping, and although the Papercut Cardigan and Autumn boots are a staple part of my Sunday chillaxin' outfit, I still mainly think of Reek when I want to buy someone a birthday pressie, or just generally harass them with cute funky gift (Dinosaur Pyjamas for the win!!). But, what a big mistake on my part...

Today I'm featuring the newest footwear release from Reek, these F-awesome (yeah, thats not a real word) Boston Boots! The boots are totally customisable, via a HUD in which you can change any part of the boot (leather/rubber colour, tongue, laces, eyelets, socks...). They can also be worn with or without socks. If you're super speedy you might even still be able to grab the Navy blue version of these boots which were included in the 50L Friday list this week! A total bargain! Or just grab the fatpack and give yourself a metric gazillion choices of boot, via one HUD :o

I should also mention, that all the background furniture/pose prop I am using is from Awesome Blossom, who also have a 'Spruce up your Space' event offer on at the moment in the form of a cute lil house, which I am going to try and blog in the next couple of days.

I know you'll have the heart.

There are some real steals in the 50L Friday list this week! Well worth checking out, even if you usually don't bother. I'm always excited when certain stores appear on the list, and this week has really come up trumps, with Kyoot being top of my personal list, but also f-awesome items from Reek (omgboots), and Tiny Bird (cute Romper in 2 colour choices) being a couple of the others.

I'm not usually one for showing my midriff in SL because I don't in RL, which it occured to me is kinda ridiculous. SL is the perfect place to let it all hang out, right?! Ok, well maybe not -all-, at least not on the blog :-D

I've been listening to alot of Angus and Julia Stone lately, so I've added a bit of that at the bottom <3

Happy Fri(wine)day!

Trés Jolie

Quick pic today, because a couple of new ventures are keeping me busy. But hopefully, some exciting new things to come in the next week or so, to keep my blog addiction going.

Today I just had to blog about these super cute shorts from a brand that I discovered recently thanks to the dear Loli and Paris after they featured some tights from this brand on their blog. Whats total win about these shorts is not only the cute flowery spring like pattern but they're also high waisted.

Jolie has a marketplace store choc-full of vintage goodness, at great prices! I'd really recommend a visit and I absolutely intend to blog more of Kaetel's fabulous designs in the near future!

I'm also wearing one of the cute new necklaces from Undefined Lilies...a brand that I totally love, and now has a new mainstore location HERE.

Can't you see, all this stuff's a sideshow?

...If The Secret Store don't stop releasing new cuteness that I heart so hard, that I must blog it, then I'm going to have to change the name of my blog ><

I asked Maylee earlier if she'd named her new Frou Frou skirts after one of my favourite bands, but of course Frou Frou also means 'Ruffle' in the French language, so it turns out I was completely wrong! Duh.

Anyhoo...these cute ruffley skirts have given me a chance to blog some other items I've had in my inventory and wear often, but have never blogged. Namely the Loire knit shrug from Mon Tissu and this beautiful jewellery from Je Suis, which is colour change and can be textured to fit with almost anything.

Some more newness today, with these shoes from Vive9's Spring release, and yet more new hairstyles from Elikatira.

Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend.

I've been in a bit of an emo mood the last couple of days. Bedding down in a hoodie, black nail varnish and listening to waaaay too much Smiths, Cure and Bright Eyes. It seems like this look might have been born of that ;-)
