Your Skin and Bones Turn Into Something Beautiful

So the Cosmetic's fair is coming. And.. I'm really picky about cosmetics. I like them to be natural, to feel like something I would wear, not a clown make up! Subtle and beautiful is my style. So.. I fell in love immidiately with this eyeliner option that they had, it's so.. dramatic, but at the same time, so pretty. I layered it with another make up layer I had from Dead Apples because.. it's my favorite make up option ever, I think, I'm a huge fan of lip gloss. And there's also a new release from {le fil casse}. This headband is one of the most adorable things ever. I mean, it's no secret I'm like the Blair Waldorf of SL. If it's a headband, I'm buying it. I don't care. So.. I'm totally in love with this pack, and the color selection is just so cute and innocent. I had to do a head shot just to show how amazingly perfect this head band is. Happy shopping guys!

Hiding My Heart Away

Sometimes it's easier to hide. From the things around you, from your feelings, from others. I guess the basic reason for it is the fact that.. we're afraid. Deep down we're all afraid. Afraid of rejection, afraid of being judged, afraid of looking like a fool. Fear is a powerful emotion, and many of us, instead of facing it head on.. we hide.

Now, you all know that I'm very much for classy looks, nothing over styled, and feminine and elegant at the same time. So that's what I'm doing with this post! I'm bringing you girly cute, with a very simple elegance to it. You don't always have to look like you have a stick up your ass to look elegant, sometimes you can style something in a very effortless manner to get the same effect.

Le fil casse is bringing new dresses to collabor88. In all honesty, I struggled with it, it's a very difficult print to work with, and I didn't want to do the obvious and just style it with a necklace, some pumps, and voila.. I wanted it to look. original, after all.. tube dresses are like.. everywhere! I paired it off with a cute jacket from Bilo that kind of brought forth the color, and also brought the look together. I also added some tights to keep it.. you know, classy and reserved, and then the shoes actually have a soft floral pattern to it, so I chose those to play some more with the floral theme of the outfit. I wanted also some long necklaces, and the Maxi Gossamer set for Collabor88 fit he bill perfectly, it's both girly and classic, so it fits the whole outfit quite perfectly. Finally, new hair from wasabi pills! I'm extremely picky about hair.. it's not even funny. Even my favorite stores.. sometimes I see their hairstyles, and it's a complete turn off. However, I totally loved the little side flip with this hair, and yup.. I thin that about is it for today!

Love is a Battlefield

Truer words have never been spoken. If you love something, you have to go for it. Full throttle. Don't stop. Fight. Right now with current going ons in my SL, the song has been resonating through my mind. If you love something, don't let it go. Fight. Love is a battle field. I bet you if the person that I wrote this about reads it, they will totally flip out and IM me about it. Ha.

But.. my battlefield at this moment is fashion. One of my biggest loves, and truest passions. We'll start with Truth. Truth Hawks single handedly might be the biggest reason for me going broke. I mean, I know I don't need new hair, I have plenty old hair. But damn it! Every week he comes up with a new release, and every week I'm drooling. The man can't do any wrong. And braids! Come on guys! Braids. Two of them. Simple, nothing fancy. I've been begging for this for a long time. Thanks! Still upset about the constant loss of linden to your hairs, but.. I'm soooo happy at this new release!

Then we have Acid Lily opening up today, and I'm a huge fan of one of their new designers, Le Fil Casse. It's inspired by French Fashion, and I'll be honest, sometimes I'm missing the French in these designs, but this little dress is sooo cute, and uber french, I fell in love with it instantly.

Moving on! Kyoot is closing down. I almost want to break down and cry because I love the store. But! I do wish her the best in her real life endeavors! Everything in the store is 50L. EVERYTHING. But fatpacks, of course. I think they're 350L? Might have just been once piece, so don't quote me on that. After that, the store will close down and things will only be sold at the marketplace, again, don't quote me on that, still, go and get it at the amazing price while you can! I promise they're good! I managed to get these cute little tights, adorable!

And finally, TDR Fusion is open again, and new collection has begun! LaGyo was there, with a bracelet that matched their Collabor88 release, so I pulled it all together with the outfit for a cute look, and the pose is also from Label Motion in TDR Fusion. Cute poses that are very flirty this time around.

The Fox in the Snow

I love this song.. and I love Belle and Sebastian. It's all about seeing what really is important.. and what's just so illogical, the resounding questions that make you rethink everything that is important to you.. and the importance of the simple things.. I love things that make me think like that.. once again making me feel grateful for the small things in life, rather than crying over the things that at that time seem so big.. and further down in life seem so trivial.

I wanted to be a fox in the snow today, or my vision of this song, I suppose. Something simple, against the vast snow.

I kept it very simple for this post just because of that. The top is really adorable, and it's from one of the new additions to Acid Lily which will be taken away this weekend, so make sure to stop and get it before it does go away! The dress is called Queen of Hearts, and it's in pink, gray, or multicolored. I kept it simple and at the same time wanted it to pop slightly with the background, so I grabbed the pink color. The dress is very simplistic, but at the same time, the way the texturing and shading is done is very cute! Though my only complain is that at times it didn't fit right with my ao, the very top of the torso didn't seem to flow too well for some reason, though in all honesty, it might have just been my ao.

I paired it off with the boots from ISON that are available today at 50L Friday, and also the Collabor88 D!va hair, this time without the mesh portion. In my opinion, it looks way cuter with just the bun. The same jewelry as yesterday, but instead of the yellow diamonds, just.. plain old white to go with the simplistic element today. And a pair of wool tights to tie it all together.
