Nine gemstones…ten different poses and it all comes together. So reasonably priced and you have a choice of glowy gemstones or non glowy. I picked the non glowy…and I adore them. I picked the red stone, that she named garnet because rubies are my very favorite stone, so I am pretending I am sitting on a huge ruby.

The skin that I am wearing is the brand new, just released today []::Tuli::[] Audrey and she is just gorgeous, seriously…go fatpack!

Oh like what I am wearing? Blowpop lingerie…some of my favorite on the entire grid. So so well made…beautifully textured.

I say every single week that the new Truth hair released is my favorite and it typically is. This week though..this release will be my favorite for weeks and months. I adore all of them. If you haven’t seen them yet..make sure to go take a peek.

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with ev'ry new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, at such a cost

Until next time

[Gos] Espadrilles are pretty rad. You can buy them a few different ways…you can buy one color and leave it at that (booooo, how could you pick?), or you can buy one color and then pick out your fave color updaters which as you can see in the picture above are the adorable spools of ribbon that you simply wear and click – Viola! Your shoes are color updated. Or you can just cut to the chase and fatpack.  Tons and tons of color options with the awesome little blue drop down menu of color love.  Seriously..tons. You can change the bow in the front, the ribbon, the toe, the heel…all of it once you buy different color updaters.  Buy them and go just buck wild making them as colorful as you like.

The skins I am wearing in both pics are by Mynerva and I well… I love them. In my rl I don’t have many freckles just a light sprinkling over my nose that you have be verrrry close to see, so I love freckled skins in SL. The features on these skins are lovely, and the lips…yep, kissable.

Until next time!

The skirt is from Leezu and the one I am showing doesn’t have the belt but they come in a four pack with the options of no belt,  brown belt, white or beige. I am really really picky about denim skirts because the prim piece in the front can make me insane if it doesn’t blend well. I am pretty happy with these…very good blendage.  Is that a word? Okay it is now. Oh and while they come in a four pack…very reasonably priced.

I was sitting at work yesterday…minding my own business..getting through the day when I received an email alert from SL that made me very happy. What did it say? It saidddd that Dutch Touch just released a new skin.  EEEEEeee!!! I know, right? !!! I could not wait to log in to check it out. It was love…XAYA …you sweet little skin you. I love you every bit of you and let me list some of the reasons; four options of skin tones  (cream, caramel, olive and cocoa)  because each pack comes with an option of freckles, hair, base,  eyelashes and ten glorious makeups, PLUS 4 exclusive specially priced skins for VIP  members , and even more options! Well..you are perfect. No seams.  Your sweet button nose, the new lips that are delicious and full…the …yeah. I love it.  Iki scored another huge win with this one. Huge.

I won’t go through all the makeups but below are some of my faves. Okay that isn’t true, I love all of them..below are the four I had enough patience to take pictures of while SL kept crashing on me. Don’t pay attention to the sizes of the images…pretend they are all perfectly the same size and well…yeah, just focus on the gorgeousness of XAYA. <3

Until next time!

These awesome white shorts are new from Indrya Originals and I do believe I need them in rl. Typical of Indy’s designs, these are very well made and they move great for poses, walking and crazy AO stands.  The prim pockets and buckle thingies are a pure win.  I am a huge fan of hers and have been for a long time, she really is a true artist in every life. If you have not been to her store in a while…gooo…she has a lot of really cool things out. The top is actually a 30L item from *MIU’s gatcha and so so cute. I wanted to get all of them but I was distracted by ice cream so I need to go ba ck and get the rest. The shoes are the latest from LeLutka and while I am sure you may have seen them on the feed…maybe once or twice. Skin is the heavenly Taylor from League…I cannot get enough of her.

More stuff from Miu. This outfit is going to go into my heavy outfit rotation. It is bright, cheerful and I loves it. Perfect for summer.  The little balls on the end are my fave part…very cute. Go check out all the different colors and I dare you to buy only one!! Skin is from Pink Fuel and I love how sweet the face is…the lips are suckable.

A few weeks ago I went to see my friend Ara and she had the sweetest skin on, the lips were all pouty and glossy…
I am not ashamed to say I wanted to smooch her. Don’t worry, I didn’t but it was tough to resist!! While I adore skins I have not tried Lara and the reason for it is too lame to share. BUT, today I went to go check them out and it took me about 2 seconds to decide to fatpack.  I loved it so much I tp’ed to show Ali and forgot I was naked. Whoops.

Oh, the outfit… the shirt is from where? Miu! Shocking, right? I can’t believe I have never been there before today. Don’t worry I  made up for lost time and bought um…just about everything. Love.  The shorts are from Dekade and I doubt I will be taking them off very much over the next week or two, unless it is just to change to a different color.

Hair and jewelry….come on now. Truth and Zaara of course <3

[]::Tuli::[] Jade :: The Deck exclusive is a must have skin…and only available at Tuli’s location at The Deck. The makeup is pure fun…coral pinks, yellows and just perfect for summer.  Tuli is an artist…her skins are always beautiful and whenever she releases an exclusive skin…your best bet is to make sure to get to it before it’s gone!

The tropical looking makeup of Tuli’s new skin reminded me that I have something all sorts of summery and full of awesome to share with you guys….

NOTsoBAD released a new ASPEN Outdoor Set and it is seriously so wellll made and full of what? OPTIONS!
You buy one set and get 14 colors in 1! Huzzah!There are 4 single poses each for male/female. Along with this new set, they also recently released a very cool kitchen set, bathroom set and a few other amazing sets that you MUST GO SEE. Seriously, my NOTsoBAD folder is bursting at the seams, can you say addiction?

Oh, like my outfit? It isn’t new but one of the things I grab the most to wear out of my inventory…Nadia Gypsy Dress Set in Silver White by Nicky Ree.  Nicky is a phenomenal designer with quite the eye for detail…you can never go wrong when you shop at her store.

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.

How much am I loving the new Summer release from L’Abel? Yes…

Well made shorts, with adorable tanktops…

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.
