2:19 Blues

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.

The Christmas Waltz with Acid Lilly

I'm getting into the Christmas mood this year, somehow, and I've never been the biggest Christmas fan. However, there's something about it that offers hope.. Maybe that's all that I need this year, hope.


... That is if we survive the end of the world!


Joke aside, there's nothing I want more right now than snow, lights, and Christmas presents, and giving back,  getting into that spirit that fills the heart.

Apart from that! Acid Lily is out now! And I've compiled a couple looks from what they're offering this round. I have have way more to show! It's all so amazing, and in the spirit of Christmas, the designers have gotten generous and there's many group gifts available from some amazing designers. Really, this round of Acid Lilly will make your jaw drop, and the generosity of the designers will make you cry. Exaggerating, sure, but still! Make sure to go over and check what there's up for grabs at Acid Lily!

You Better Believe in Voodoo Baby

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.
