That stampede of stiletto’s and other impractical shoes was the rush of bloggers headed over to L’Abel to preview the gorgeous new collection of designs by Neferia Abel.
Not to be left out, I made my way over as quickly as I could get logged in yesterday and as always Nef has given us a collection from cocktail to casual that are sure to please lovers of classic lines and vintage inspired themes.

The Brielle cocktail gown comes in either gold or silver sequins. Obviously you need them both.
These gorgeous dresses are wonderfully complimented by the recently released jewelry from Donna Flora – Cleo, which features a stylized Cleopatra collar that’s suitable for a girl with a graceful neck. I’m always in love with Donna Flora’s releases and can seldom choose between her clothes OR her jewelry.
What can I say? I TOTALLY fangirl Squinternet. Shhh don’t tell her that.

Jennaa Loire, from SL House & Garden, and who also writes Fashionable Furnishings for Second Style, sent me a private plurk… “Did you get your trophy?” I rushed to dig through my inventory as fast as RL would allow. This is what I found!!!!

Thank you for the nominations and votes for Best Magazine in the SL House & Garden Group Awards. I’m very honored and feel very grateful to be recognized. This award would have not been possible with out the hard work and dedication of my team. They make the magazine what it is with the beautiful content provided both in words and photography.
I huge thank you to my editor and friend, Felicity Blumenthal. She is the backbone of the operation and I wouldn’t be able to do any of this on my own.

There are things in this world that are beautiful to behold.
Some are nice and pleasing.
And some call you from deep inside and let you know that they are yours, and are waiting for you. But you have to take the leap. You have to make them yours. Read the rest of this entry »
Just a reminder for any interested buyers:
Second Style Island, and previously known as Le Zoo has had a terrific 4 years! Our rebuild took place a year ago already, and we’ve enjoyed all of our renters, and customers alike.
However, HeatherDawn Cohen’s RL business is starting to take off, and she cannot juggle everything! So, we’ve decided to put the sim up for sale. The magazine however, and blog will not be affected at all by this transition, and we are looking forward to many more issues!
If you, or anyone you know are interested in purchasing a Full Sim, please contact heatherdawncohen@gmail.com. We would like to get the sale completed quickly, and are considering all offers.

It started innocently enough. I went to Bottle Bird to get a shirt of some sort to match these pants. And then, I realized that they had created the Wallpaper Shoes that I had coveted a few weeks ago, so I had to have THOSE too!
But then I started looking around. EEK! Cute Boutique alert! Read the rest of this entry »

Come here…I have something to tell you. Closer. Come on now…don’t be shy.
The Secret Store…have you been there? If not, how come? Do you not like well made and very cute clothes at extremely affordable prices? I hope your answer is yes. Visit The Secret Store. Totally worth it.
This new skin from Glam Affair…is just gorgeous. I know it is all over the feeds but seriously, if you do not have it…go demo it. It is beautiful work. The skirt I have on is from DeLas and tbh, I have no idea how old it is because I bought it on Marketplace. I typed in brown skirt and viola! There it was. So. Easy. Tesla boots and Maitreya finish off the look with just the right touch.
who told you that it was alright to love me
certainly not me
I was not looking for no love affair
and now you wanna fix me
I was not looking for no love affair
and now you want to mold me
Was not looking for no love affair
now you wanna kiss me
Was not looking for no love affair
and now you wanna control me
hold me

All blog posts have a starting point, and this one was the absolutely gorgeous Assasin Boots from Lassitude and Ennui. I’ve realized since receiving them that I am in a terrible boot deficit and must correct this situation as soon as funds and time allows. Read the rest of this entry »
