And now I'm in a Whole New World With You

So.. I was a little slow this week with Disneybound.. but.. don't hate on me! I've been through a lot this week, that, and it's partner's week for Disneybound! Aladdin and Jasmine. I love this movie, one of the ones that I used to watch in repeat when I was a kid. You know.. when we still had the bulky VHS, and would play, rewind like a million and one times. Yup. That was me, singing along, and yelling at Jafar. And cry with the Genie.. Ah childhood, how I miss thee. So.. of course I had to get my Aladdin, it wasn't an option to have anything but the magic carpet ride. Nope. So I nagged one of my best friends, James Matfield into doing this shoot with me, and the results.. well, I love them. Through a couple of days of planning and trying to get free time together, we finally did it! I hope you like this week's Disneybound challenge, I know I can't wait for next week. And Natalee.. I'm still waiting for something to do with Sleeping Beauty. I swear I'm about to throw a major fit here, woman!

Can You Free Me From This World?

Yay! New house. I've come out of my shell a lot lately, thanks to Plurk, and I met some wonderful people, and to all of you that I've met <3. I started this journey of blogging in order to meet new people, share ideas, and broaden the fun in Second Life that I can have, as well as trying to learn how to photoshop. I'm still learning, and I've met some wonderful people. To all of you, thanks! You've made this journey possible, and amazing.

So.. new stuff.. the boots are from R3VOLT, and they're awesome! I love the legwarmers fad that is going around, and the cute little buttons at the side.. Just love the design, and the construction of them, very well done. I also am wearing an older release from Dollle, the micro skirt, and i paired it off to go for a playful cute look with whippet and bucket tank top, which is only 50L, and an old release from fri.day, like.. way old, which is for sale in the back of the store. Old, and not mesh, but still adorable!

I Was Walking With A Ghost, I Said Please, Please, Don't Insist.

Seems like I'm back, baby. And oh, how good it feels to be back! So.. since I feel like I've really been neglecting this while recovering, and dealing with rl, I'm going to probably be posting a lot, which I guess is good news for people like me that enjoy getting styling ideas. Right? I hope so. I guess with fashion, my number one rule is styling. So.. I wanted to created a kind of rocker outfit to go with the new R3volt military boots that are up for grabs, and I decided to also use one of their laced skirts, which have a cool lacing to them at the side. I decided to grab some old half leather leggings that screamed rock to me, and a rockabilly styled jacket from Mon Tissu, add an accent piece for a necklace, my choice was the elephant necklace from League, and some sunglasses, and.... Tadah!

My Music Is Where I Want You to Touch

First of all, I do have to apologize for the lack of blog entries lately. It's still being one of those things where it's raining like hell, and my glass is overflowing. For as much as I love to blog and share my opinions in SL fashion, my mind is not fully committed at the moment. With the loss of a family member, and two major illnesses in my family, I'm struggling to be able to cope with it all. My time in SL is more devoted to attempting to forget my problems, than focusing on something like this. It's not that I'm going to stop blogging. No, I love it. It's just.. my lapses of when I'm able to concentrate enough to get the words out as I mean them are few. Please forgive me.

With that said. I do wish I had music for a boyfriend. Then things maybe wouldn't be as complicated. Or living in a fairy tale world. Make believe with happy endings. I hope I'm not the only one that feels that way.

I'm going to start talking about the actual fashion with this jacket from even.flow. It's a nice design, however, I wish it would have some contrast to it. The pattern is lovely, yes. But with so much black, the details all get lost. I wouldn't change the color of the jacket, but the belt in a different color would have made me completely fall in love with this piece. However, at the bargain price in Acid Lily, it's quite worth the look at, in my opinion. As far as the pants go, it's a new release from Blueberry. I love Blueberry. I really do. Every week that goes by, and every release, I see so much growth and improvement that I do count her in as one of the top designers to watch out for. What I do love about Blueberry is that the designs are original. With so many stores using templates, I do appreciate those that take the extra time in creating their own visions. One thing that i would like to see in the future, and I know.. I know, it's tough, but I'm a huge fan of actually draping with the textures on the map. What I mean is.. you'll see it a lot of times, from afar, it looks freaking amazing, but then when you focus in, you'll see that.. instead of the map of the clothes moving with the texture, the actual map is flat, and they use the texturing to create a feel of dimension, which ends up making the piece look a little 2D. These pants actually have some relief work into them, like buttons off to the side which was a nice touch, but what I'd really love to see is the pants moving along with the texture to create a full 3D feel to it, more realistic.

I guess that's all for today folks!

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.

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.

Is That You, Santa?

I'm still listening to Jazz Christmas songs guys! And Louis is stuck in my mind! I swear, since I heard "Zat you, Santa?" This morning, all I've thought about was doing a shoot for the blog near the fire place.. and I have done just that! Ha!

So... Christmas is creeping closer and closer guys! And that can only mean one thing! It's time for more subtle Christmas fashions! Today we have a cute little vest by Wunderland, which is an amazing store that opened just a couple months ago, I found this little gem in Frost, comes to show you.. sometimes going to these fairs and doing hunts can open your eyes to new amazing SL designers that will grow up to hopefully be one of the big names in the future! This vest I've seen done a lot of different ways, it's just one of the latest trends in fashion, but the pattern on this one just captivated me, along with the color, just too adorable.

Then we have the top by Whippet and Bucket, everything in the store is 50L still! Again, I have no clue if they're closing, or if they're having a sale, but run and fill your inventory with their goodies while you can! 50L for their designs is a true bargain. I also wore the 1929 Mon Tissu Jeans to finish off the actual clothing section of it all. Designers out there, hear our plea! We want mesh pants that you can use with boots! Please and thank you! :p

Finally, the boots will be available tomorrow at Acid Lily, they're by Moyaz, and I totally love them, they have a very casual chic look that is very in right now, and they're at a bargain price for a week starting tomorrow, so don't forget to stop by and get yours while you can!

          Tea.S- Say it Isn't So for Together for Sway

And the Embers Never Fade in your City by the Lake.

I've been hearing this song all day long.. and it's one that I've always held dear to my heart. Not only is it the song that got me introduced to the rock genre as a child, and not only is it Smashing Pumpkins and a badass song, but it also holds a very strong emotional meaning with me... so I thought I would share it with you, and take a break from all the Christmas! GAH! After a day of Christmas day shopping, I could seriously just kick it to a curve and scream.

So believe... believe in me.. Believe.. God, I love that song.

So... now we go on to what we all are coming from. I want to first of all share some news that left me flabbergasted  Now.. I'm not sure if Whippet & Bucket is closing down.. or they're having a sale.. or what.. but everything is marked down to 50L! Even new releases! I've always been a huge fan of this store, and when thrying to come up with a quick and easy style for you all today, I decided I needed a top to go with it.. visited W&B, and I cried at the 50L goodness that is the store right now. I mean.. even mesh newness! Granted, it's only like two items, but I don't care, even their non mesh items are to die for! So! I got the top.. and some jewlery.. and I danced with glee. Paired it off with this cute little ensemble that has the boots, shorts, and cardigan from Mon Cheri, and some tights to make it look a little more season appropriate.. and finished it off with the newer style from Lelutka, named, and insipired, by Alice (In Wonderland, of course).
