A weathered plantation is all that remains as the fog lifts against the humidity of the morning’s light. This build is a creation by Flix Saiman with the intended purpose of a store. I, of course, would love to see it as a home, but, alas, it’s scaled for sellers so that the rooms offer a great amount of space for display and movement. (More on the build as you read along…that’s right…keep reading.)
This gave me the perfect opportunity to slip into my new dress from LeLutka and get all pretty for a warm southern day. Ready to play a tourist who found this Plantation,I was all set out to explore it’s history. That’s exactly the feel you get when you walk up the stairs, the perfectly textured, weather beaten, time worn, stairs. I could almost hear the creaks of the floor boards beneath my Maitreyaheels as I ventured around the front porch taking in the details of the columns, the lights, the windows, and the shadows that fit just right. It really is the shading and the texturing that give this Plantation it’s FEEL. Read the rest of this entry »
I felt kind of dark today…not really in the mood for bright colors or even for small talk. You know the mood I am talking about, right? The kind of mood that will do nothing but end with me in trouble…good or bad trouble is yet to be determined, but trouble nonetheless. What fit my smoldering mood? Well, Plastik of course.
Aikea Rieko the designer behind Plastik does dark, sexy and designs that scream trouble better than most on the grid. Her lines are clean, I am hard pressed to find unsightly seams, she give you tons of layer options, actually tons of layers…period. She gives you so so many options and you all know how much I freaking love options. There is zero reason why anyone should not have something (or everything) from Plastik in their inventory!
The skin I am wearing in the 2nd picture and third is the new Cupcakes skin; DAHLIA. I started this blog wearing my go to skin, Dutch Touch (adore adore adore) but when I logged in this afternoon to finish this, I had these lovely skins waiting for me. I had no choice but to take new pics to show off the skin. The makeup is sublime…sweet to very steamy hot, which I really like. There are four skin tones, and 18 makeups. Oh, and another thing I love about this new line..the eyebrows. In the past, Cupcakes eyebrows have occasionally made me a bit hesitant to wear them but not anymore. Tintable eyebrows!! LOVE

**Heidi Halberstadt made the ring I am wearing. It is her first and while she is not selling it..if you know and love her as I do…shoot her an IM …she may, just may drop it on you. I dunno though, she is kinda feisty.
Alright – I am off. I hope you all found a bit of trouble today or even made a bit of you own…it makes life so much more interesting.

The creative minds at Reasonable Desires have once again created a fantastically fun costume set that is gorgeous, sexy – and IT COMES WITH AN ANIMAL.
Some of you may recall they once gave me an outfit with a goat, and I’ve never been right headed since. I want all their releases to have a pet.
This time around they not only give you a great variety of styling options for your sexy magician girl, you get – A BUNNEH IN A HAT!
The Bunneh itself has options, you can wear the bunneh that pops up and down on touch, or there is one that EMITS bunnehs! I can’t decide what I like more. But mostly I’m just pleased that it came with an animal. I’m easy to amuse like that. Read the rest of this entry »

Neferia Abel was enough of a love to share her entire new Summer release from L’Abel with me a bit early. It is utterly diverse, you have summer dresses, shorts, tank tops, but you also have the elegant designs that have become synonymous with Nef’s name. Elegant, clean lines and beautiful texturing.
How much am I loving the new Summer release from L’Abel? Yes…
This much!
Well made shorts, with adorable tanktops…
The tank tops will become a serious staple in my wardrobe.
The folds on this dress are enough to make me sparkle…love.
Gorgeous.
I have to show you one final dress..if it is possible to choose a favorite from all these beauties..this is it for me.
And these are just a small example of the beautiful L`Abel- summer 2010 collection!
Release date 26th June.
You need this stuff…you want this stuff…you deserve it <3

I found my lost joie de vivre somewhere. I think it was under the couch. Probably fell out of my pocket while I was laying on it for 8 weeks.
And since I found it, I thought I’d express my new found exuberance by putting on one of my newest outfits from WoE – the Cary Sweater dress. I was feeling very much like I could kick ass and take names, and so the only thing that would do to go with it were my Sky High Boots from Stiletto Moody.
I totally think those would hurt if I kicked you with them. Read the rest of this entry »

I love bright colors…the brighter, the bolder- the better. Plum is one of my faves, especially in lingerie. Now, let me just say that I rarely wear lingerie in SL because…well, there is no one to see me in it. Don’t feel sorry for me, I do have a lingerie audience in that other life I lead.
This lovely set is from Phoenix Rising and it is so lush and rich looking. Ashoka really does an awesome job with lingerie…when she dropped it on me she mentioned that since this is SL, I can wear it anywhere. So true. Now if I only I had the nerve to do so. <3 I am being a bit of a tease though, because it is not available quite yet..but be patient..it will be worth it.
The gorgeous skin I am wearing is the Gina 02 skin from Tuli that is a Dressing Room exclusive! Last time it was Gina01, which was in for two weeks. I think this one is up now…go take a look and pick up the newness.
Jewelry? Well…Zaara of course. Did you take advantage of her 50% of sale? I hope so…I know I did.
Hair….Truth. That guy just knows his stuff.

Most of the time when we think or talk about accessories, we are referring to a necklace (like this one from Mandala,) earrings, rings, even glasses, like these from GOS. And, even though, yes all of these pieces help embellish an outfit, there’s another type of accessory, if you will, that we must never forget. No, it’s not these beautiful nails from Candy Nail. Although, you are getting close… Read the rest of this entry »
What a perfect blend of teals, blues, greens, and even a dash of purple! The colors in this ensemble look stunning against the creamy Belleza skin and the light, flowy Truth hair. You are naturally drawn to her sparkling eyes as you scan for glimpses of bright and shiny. The Zaara ring is a simple, gorgeous accessory to add to her delicate fingers.
