I needed to do a quick lotd pretty much because I've been wearing this outfit for two days I I freaking love it, but I couldn't take it off without like.. putting something out there for it cus.. I freaking love it. It's based on one of my favorite Disney characters, probably my second favorite after Maleficent, just because I completely love his song, and I totally love how it came out, the look I mean, the pic was a quickie, so forgive the lack of detailing on it, but.. Collab this round is totally amazing and.. BOOM totaly inspired me with the little top hat. I actually talked to her, turns out I got the inspiration right! And it isnpired a whole Dr. Facilier look. I wanted to do more, but I'm kinda working, and well.. yeah.. this is cute. You guys should dress up like Dr. Facilier, and sing his song all the time like me. Sound like a plan? Yes? Yes?? OKAY. Do it. I'm going to just go to the credits cus I'm uber busy with the fair stuff, and with making stuff, and trying not to be sick and die. Okay? Kay. Kay? Cool.

Oh dear.. another day and another blog post? I might just be on a role. Or maybe it's just the fact that Arcade is almost here, and I always get uber excited when Arcade is upon us! I have just a couple more to show you guys cus.. I'm lucky enough to have a couple review packs out before the actual event is out... and well.. you're just going to die. Natalee Oodles, my uber talented awesome friend made more charm bracelets, and a charm necklace. BUT! Get this.. it's actually VILLAINS related! I mean.. forget the good guys, I like the villains. And.. I honestly genuinely believe that Natalee does love me now. I mean... Maleficent... HORNS. ON A HEADBAND. This was just made for me! This one is one of the rare prices, and it might just be one of my of my favorite releases for the Arcade, just because.. in my pretty little mind, it was made just for me. Natalee, you disagree, I'll kill you :).
Not only do we have the awsome charms and headband by Noodles, but Olive has made a nice line of briefcases, and they also have them in backpack mode. One of my favorites, other than the Hogwarts colors, ofc, it's the one with the Mickey ears and the color pattern.. and the pretty bow on top all Minnie mouse like.. Rose.. this was just freaking brilliant, I loved it. So.. today.. I wanted to put it all together to make a very awkward look, cus.. I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby <3. Now.. let's just glare at the calendar until it's the first, sounds like a plan? I THINK SO.
Guyyyyyyyyssss! Hair fair is once again upon us! I'm so uber excited about it too! I'm not entering for the contest, but.. I decided to talk to you guys about it because it's a huuuuuuuuge cause that's so dear to my heart. So.. if you don't know, Hair Fair is a yearly event to raise money for Wigs for Kids. Now.. what is Wigs for Kids? Organization that donates wigs.. for kids with cancer. Now, this really means a lot to me because not only do I have cancer, but I have family that's had it, and suffered from it, and passed.. and if you can just put a small smile on their faces, well, that's what matters. Not only that, with my daughter passing after she was born, I have a huge soft spot for children in need, and being able to see a kid with cancer smile, and have hair.. well, how beautiful is that? I actually am tearing up just writing this. But it is because of this that year after year, many designers flock to these four sims, and donate some of their makings to this wonderful cause. I applaud the organizers for this, because it is truly something beautiful that they're doing.
Now.. one thing about hair fair? It's laggy as hell, you have to fight like hell to get in, and you crash a million and one times while you're there. Truth. But it is sooooo worth it, a lot of designers will have exclusives, and even gifts to help promote their brand. So.. being granted early access alone is a huge thing! Make sure to try and get in, I mean.. what's the worst that could happen?! You get a no? It's still a fun theme to play around, inspiration by movies? Heck yes! I've always wanted to do a Breakfast at Tiffany's poster, and now I have for something that truly inspires me. I'm copying the rules from the website, make sure to read them carefully.

So.. I totally love the Doctor, and I've always wanted to do some sort of shot with something Doctor related. I could have done the tardis.. but.. a Dalek army was so much better. EXTERMINATE!
So, anyways, more new stuff from R3VOLT. This cute jacket comes in three versions, and it even has a belt on it I didn't care much for the belt, personally, but I totally loved the jacket in black with the white straps. I paired it off with just a simple look, shorts, heels, and kept it classy and sexy, and with a sort of military flair to it.
So, I've never actually done one of these blogger challenges.. First time for everything, but.. Disney theme. Come on, I couldn't help it. Thanks to RL, I missed a couple, but maybe I'll go back and do them, so far I'm starting with these week's Snow White theme. Took me a while to put together, but I totally loved it. The blue heart from Maxi Gossamer, though used all the time, it just.. fits, and the bracelet.. I adore it, it's never coming off, deal with it! I dyed the leggings to fit the outfit too, they were mint green, but.. I totally cheated and made them blue. Sometimes.. ingenuity goes a long way!
Take me out. Fuck me up. Steal all my records. Screw all my friends. Then do it again. It honestly feels like relationships are an endless circle. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but.. history always repeats itself. Come pick me up.
I've been out again, I know. I've been dealing with the death of my grandmother, who after fighting for months with gastric cancer, finally made her peace. It's been difficult, and still dealing with the loss, even though it's expected, the pain is a lot, so bear with me, please. I haven't forgotten all of you, I just.. need some time to place myself in someone else's shoes while I process what I feel.
However, I got this item as a preview. It'll be available for FREE. It's by American Bazaar. They will be taking place in the J'adore hunt starting in Feb. 1st. It's adorable, and I've gotten many compliments while wearing it, the vest and the top are both linked, but.. it's so cute! Cute Poison also has a new release out for Fashion week. I've seen this trend a lot lately, the over working structure, and crosses are always hot. Comes in black, silver and gold, though I'm a huge fan of the gold one.
New release also from Leri Miles Designs, you can't ever have enough slacks people! Specially if you enjoy a classy fashion style like myself.

I do love Fashionboi Landar's designs. Have for many years. Her designs always yell high fashion to me. Freedom! I want to run around and scream out loud, they make me feel like the next super model of second life. I think it's the equivalent of wearing a Chanel piece in real life. That power, that.. sexiness that just radiates from the piece, and making you feel over the clouds. Yes, I'm a huge House of Fox fan.
It's hard for someone to nail exactly the style of a person, but I do love every single piece that Landar comes up with, I drool every time there's a new release. And guess what? There's a new release! Ack! Yes, and for all you lola's fans out there, it actually does come with the little modifier piece or what not to add to your boobies. Me, personally? I don't wear them, you can always see a seam in the matching of the avatar and the piece, and it's for this reason, and that reason alone that I run away from these prim boobies. But, for all of us that rather go around in sl with our amazing shape and no additives to it, it is also perfect. The skirt part is the only mesh in it, and the body is actually added to your avatar, which gives a very slimming and perfect fit kind of feel, and the side coloring is always a perfect accent. Love this dress.
I paired it off with the high socks which are very much in style, and some pumps. Everything worn here is by Color me H.O.F. Hope you enjoy!
Who doesn't love train rides? And train rides just.. put me way back to the Jazz era.. and who else is best for a classy Jazz song than Louis Armstrong? I just want to sit back now with a whiskey as I sit back in the train and watch the scenery go by.
So.. Second blog post for today.. that hasn't been done in a while! But.. I did get inspired by a new release by Insatiable Fashions. Simple black top.. so well constructed, so simple, and with one of my favorite words on it. Amour. Love. Such a simple word, and yet so powerful. It can make people melt. And it can frighten some. Is it any wonder than this lovely little shirt made me fall in love so? It'll be available in the Black Market soon, so keep your eye out for it, because even in all its simplicity, it's too cute to just pass out on.
I paired it off with one of the newer releases from Blueberry. It's not one of my favorites from her, just because the texturing in my opinion did come off a little cartoonish, but I do love the way that it sets on the body, and the bow.. yes, the bow, and I swear if I hear anyone making fun of my bow fettish, I'll smack them, the bow totally did it for me, and adds a certain flair to the piece and the outfit. To make it a little more conservative, I added a tank top under the mesh top, and also an edgy leggings piece by Le Primitif to add an edginess to the outfit. Boots by LaRoo, and since I'm going on a trip, I had to have my favorite duffel bag by Color.Me.H.O.F. in black, which is available in their gatcha at the store, and it's a past Arcade item. Necklace by Maxi Gossamer, and voila, a cute look inspired by love, and a train ride.
I'm lately totally obsessed with 30 Seconds to Mars, and I was watching the music video for The Kill, and I totally got inspired for this shoot! Mad Pea is doing a new hunt in this creepy hotel, and I just had to do something involving this song, so.. yes! I hope you enjoy the dark creepy theme for the pictures!
I do have to admit though.. there's nothing creepy about what I'm wearing in this picture! First of all, new release for Wunderland! And I'm crazy about this jeans! They have camo, studs, and regular jeans.. I stuck with the regular jeans for this just because they looked marvelous. AND they fit with some boots, ladies! So huge plus on that one. Though designers.. I'm still going to beg. Make more jeans to fit inside of boots! That would so be a dream come true. New Year's Resolution for all of you out there, maybe? :P.
Color Me H.O.F is also having a sale for the holidays. So I grabbed this shirt to go along with the look today! Make sure to run over and get to the sale while you can!!
And finally, cute hair.. cute hair.. oh how I love hair! Today I'm wearing Exile! And their new line of hairs with hats! I am a huge fan of hats and hair accessories, but I'm so picking about prims fitting right, I never get them! That's why when I see hair with it already on.. I'm in heaven! And this style is so carefree, I just had to have it.
I totally love this song, I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of Gossip Girl. I know, right? Shocker! Another fashion lover that is totally obsessed with that show! Well, I think it's only girls.. I've tried getting guys into it, and I just get smacked. But! I mean.. There's fashion, drama, class, money, scandals, and awesome music! Of course when I put together this little outfit, the first thing I thought of was one of my biggest inspirations in SL, Blair Waldorf, and when I thought of her.. I thought of this song. And well, that's how this set and all came to be.
So, where to start! For one, Fi*Friday is back, and Whatever has a cute pair of shoes that's just to die for, and only 55L. I love all things high fashion, and these boots just scream "Look at me! I'm sexy, and a badass! Booyah, baby!" So of course I had to get them.. and you should too! While at it, check the collection! Some of the stuff is not my taste, in all honesty, but it's not to bash and say it's not good, it's by far one of the best events to get cheap stuff of amazing quality!
Then, you have fameshed that just opened. Now, I love Color.Me.H.O.F., Fashionboy has some of the best clothes in the grid right now! They kind of remind me of the Italian Fashions, and I adore it all! I could spend hours in that store and just drool over all the goodies. So, when she joined the fameshed crew, I just had to get the little leather skirt they have. Normally I go with blacks and neutrals, but stepped out of my comfort zone this time and decided to get navy.
I don't like dual toned shirts, which is what they have out to go with the skirt. Not saying that they're bad at all, it's just not in my preference, I like safe fashion, not much of an uber risk taker, so I paired it off with a tucked in Edelweiss shirt, and the bow to go along with it. Now that I had the "uniform" look going, I added a pair of gartered socks, corky hair from Burley, and the new Special Edition skin from WoW Skins, the end result- an adorable Blair Waldorf inspired design. I think she'd be proud.

I effing love new releases! And these two stores are some of my favorites on the grid. So.. check it!
It's been forever since Maitreya came out with something new, and well.. I've been very very very sad about this, but! I got a group notice, and it left my mouth watering with beautyfulness. Yes, I'm aware that's not a word, but it is in Sash's world. Either way, I was left with my mouth watering over this beautiful dress that just screams fall to me. It's casual, and it can also be worn with a pair of jeans to make it look more like a shirt, or you can also just wear it as a dress with a belt.. really, there is no limit on what you can do with this to make it your own, and to me, that's the best thing you can have in a piece of clothing, the capability to be versatile Get the most out of your money. Let's face it.. in Sl, we change often, specially when it comes to personal style, the fact that you can grab a piece and transfer it from x look to the next.. it's always a plus.
In other news.. Truth.. What can I say about Truth that I haven't already? Their mesh textures are to die for. Dying. Dying. Yup, I love the work truth has brought to the table lately, and they came out with three new styles that I'm a huge fan of. So, here they are for your personal enjoyment.
And so another Friday comes about, and we're left with many options on where to go, but.. for me, the most important stop on any Friday it's Fifty Linden Fridays. Oh.. God.. Yes..
Amazing stores, and stuff for fifty linden.. need I need say more? It's a shopaholic's heaven. My only complain about this round... So...few....stores.... Left me all SADFACE! But it's ok, because House of Fox made it all up to me with this little yellow dress. Cute, adorable, and soooo me. I want to hug it. In fact, I'll make my avatar do it right now.
In all seriousness though, they have a few good things in there, so it's worth giving it a look, but by far my favorite number was this dress than I'm blogging about. Normally, I hate yellow. I hate mustard colors, and I hate yellow. But I'll make an exception for this dress.
Also, Zodiac is out, if you haven't heard, and they have the cutest hair from Alice Project. 250L, and unlimited looks, which is one of my favorite things about Alice Project. They have the Steph hair look, one with bangs, and one without. The bangs didn't quite fit right with my avatar, so I got the second look, and paired it with the adorable HOF dress. Enjoy.

Another shot in the awesome sim of Mischief Managed. Seriously, if you haven't gone, GO! Awesome RP, and awesome build. Anyways, on to the good stuff.
I really didn't know what I was going to blog about today, I was drawing a complete blank on what to do, until a little notice came out from Truth. Seriously.. I was never a big fan of Truth until recently, when they started making mesh hair styles. Granted, most of the styles this week didn't fit the style.. one of them did, and I totally fell in love! There was one, Rashinda, that totally inspired this whole look. Cute, chick, and classy. So me! So, thank you, Truth Hawks, for making these amazing hair drooling styles as of lately!
