Oh…sweet sweet new skins. The grid was hit today with new DNA and new LeLutka. I got my friend Rob Moonites to blog with me again so he could show off the new DNA. Oh, you want a close up of Rob? Okay…coming up.

There are these tiny freckles, so handsome. His pea coat is an absolute favorite of mine, it fits well..it looks amazing and it is by one of my favorite stores in SL, en Salve. Rob’s pants are actually his own brand, Fir & MNA and there is also a female version that I have blogged a few times. They make your ass look great, just sayin’.

Now my turn…LeLutka released one of my now favorite skins, Natasha. The face reminds me a bit of London, which I adored.  Love…you need to go demo it. The face is so soft and sweet I feel like a virgin again. Oh shush, someone had to say it. Let’s talk shoes…Maitreya released Moxie today and the whole grid nearly collapsed in female sighs of happy. Not me of course, I kept it cool. For the 10 seconds it took me to unpack and try them on.

Glam Affair Nina…I may not take off for at least two days. Possibly three. Straight. That is huge for me. HUGE. I will even wear it weekly. Oh yeah. I may be growing up and embracing skin commitment. Or not. Right now though, loving Nina with the best red lips in SL.

Surf Couture Paperboy Ankle Boots were on the top of my MUST BUY list, so when I finally was able to tp in to One Eleven, I was on a mission and they were my very first purchase. So not disappointed. Excellent work, and the texturing is gorgeous. Typical Emma Gilmour work…lovely. The adorable dress I am wearing is also from One Eleven and the work of W&B. Very cute, awesome shading and a must have. I am not wearing all I was able to purchase but let me tell you…worth it. So cute and well made. These designers really put their all into their items.  I hope you guys are able to tp over there and be one of the 111.

Oh and the skybox I wanted? Didn’t happen…so to make up for my sadness I had a piece of pumpkin pie. Okay, I had two pieces!

Till next time.

It only semi worked. I got sad when I realized that he looked better than I did. Whatever. I think it was bad lightening.

Are you asking yourself why if I was cold, my legs are bare? Good question, I will chose the answer as vanity. My outfit is one that I have had for a while but I adoreeee. It just looks like something warm, cozy and fun to wear when the weather starts to change. The boots are Bax and a staple in my wardrobe and for most women in SL.  Just sweet and simple. Perfect for a lazy Sunday.

Oh and Rob? I am still miffed that he got ready in under 5 minutes AND looked better, but it is only fair to point down there and let you know where you can buy all he is wearing.  No, I am teasing! Thanks to you Rob for helping me out…but next time let me be the cute one. Okay, thanks.

Till next time.

I love the color red. It is so vibrant, so alive and full of passion. It is associated with love. It screams “look at me” and well, yeah… I wear it often. This red jacket is from Maitreya, it has been out for a bit but you know what? It is worth being blogged over…and over again. So if you don’t have it, go pick it up! I paired it with another older favorite of mine, the Brit pants from LeeZu. If this was real life they would be worn out and I would save them only for special occasions now. By special occasions, I mean going to the local brew pub and having a drink with Sky. Oh and my boots? I may have mentioned that the new Courtisane boots equal love, right?

Truth released four styles this week, and one is or should I say was for the guys. Well, like the sweatshirts and socks I steal from my husband…I am claiming this style for myself.  It’s perfect for us girls too. Don’t you agree?

Until next time!

Glam Affair released a new skin, Eva, and I am a definite fan. I added a few tattoo layers, dimples and a beauty mark…love.  My outfit is from a few of my favorite stores, the skirt is from Coco’s which I am pretty sure I own everything from there. It is just so so well made and I love the variety. The stole is from DP yumyum and I cannot wait to try it on with a pair of jeans, simple tanktop and boots. What boots? Ohhh, I am so glad you asked! Lemme show you.

Courtisane just released these boots and I have not taken them off. I blogged them over on my fashion blog in dark brown yesterday and I had to find a reason to wear them again today. They are just awesome and you alll need them in your inventory. Yep, you do!

Two more days until the weekend…we can do it!

Till next time!

As with all of Ulaa’s builds, it is textured beautifully, sculpted windows and doors and working lights, as well as a workable fireplace. The Sodwind is so open, beautiful, airy and only 69 prims. Please note the furniture is not included.

You can purchase this build or many of her other adorable homes on Marketplace or at her main store. At the main store, you can demo all her other homes but please heed my warning…you will fall in love with them.

I have to show you my adorable outfit from The sea Hole. I had totally forgotten about them and I went a few weeks ago, and left with tonssss of new things. So so cute and very well priced! I will be sure to blog more of my finds from there very soon!

Okay I am exhausted, I spent the entire day thinking it was Thursday to realize it was only Wednesday and no….tomorrow is not Friday.

One last thing…special thanks to Alicia Chenaux for being way more organized that I am…and for doing a beautiful job with the furniture. <3

Until next time,

I am loving this style, Swift, and luckily it comes in three variations. One with a headband, one just plain and the one that I am showing here with a color change hat. Very cute hair, tp over there and buy some…actually no, buy allll of it! Stay tuned for more blogs showing the rest of the styles

I am positive the entire grid is aware that Janie Marlowe formerly the lovely designer behind Mischief is back with a new line, named quite simply…Jane. I was one of those people that owned the entire Mischief inventory, it was one of my go to places. I never left “empty handed”. I was thrilled to hear she was back and even more excited when I saw her latest designs. Simple, well made and lovely. Exactly my style.

Now if you will excuse me, my beloved Yankees lost tonight and I have to go drown my sorrows in cheesecake.

I used a lot of the NSB furniture, which I also am a big fan of..but stuck a couple of pieces in there from other very talented creators in Second Life.

The skybox is just gorgeous, I admit to having a short attention span when it comes to homes in SL but this one…this one is the one.

I have officially put my feet up and am calling it home. For a good long time…or  until NSB releases their next awesome build.

Till next time

Sway Dench from Sway’s Design was sweet enough to send over one of her latest releases, swAyNimation – Art’Box  and I love it. You have 10  choices of colors for inside the box, but I picked white for all three of my pics.  You don’t have to be as boring as I am though! Go crazy with it..pick a pink, blue, purple, yellow, etc color! Also 6 different poses, not just the three I am showing.

Oh, let me tell you about my shorts. Kyoot has very cool micro pants with wide belts in different colors. You need these.  So sexy. Speaking of sexy…someone please tell me why I have not been to DE in ages? What was I thinking?  A few years ago, I used to go there pretty regularly and looking back…many of those things hold up in regards to how well made they are.  The top I am wearing is the DE Roxy Leather Shirt and it screamed … YOU NEED ME…when I walked by it..so who am I to resist? I’m not.

Boots…Stellar makes very very cute winter boots. Did you think Lexi Morgan was all about the short skirts and hot ass outfits? WRONG. She makes boots, hair, jewelry, eyes, skins, shoes and makeup tattoo layers. Have you been to her newly remodeled sim? It is made to look like NYC and they did a….stellar job. Shush, don’t judge me.

Some of the best fitting dresses in SL are by none other than the lovely Kelly Iwish from Elate! First time I found her store, I went so nuts that she actually tp’ed in to meet me. I have been a big fan since that day and she just keeps getting better and better. Gorgeous styles, beautiful fit and she just really seems to enjoy what she does…it shows in every design.

Oh, check out that gorgeous skin…the latest from my favorite skinner – Iki of Dutch Touch. Adore, adore…adore, she never ever disappoints. I know I always go on and on about my Dutch Touch love, but can you blame me?

Hair? Why the latest beauty from Truth.

Till next time.
