Dressed Down #23: DFO Did

For those of you who completely confused by the title (I'm gonna say, everybody?) - here down under we have an array of Direct Factory Outlets where the clothes stay fabulous but come cheaper.

In homage to that fair prayer, I offer up a modest ensemble that won't blow the bank. GATO is a new to me store and this dress is seven kinds of heaven. I love the quilted detail and decided to cinch it at the waist with this FLF release belt from MIEL. The clutch is by HOUSE OF FOX, available at CHIC LIMITED for not much longer for only 50L.

Finally... new LAMB hair. I don't think I need to say more.

Dressed Down #22: The 'It' Gurl

Despite being far from it myself, it's always fun to strut round like you're the shit. And these pants are the pair to do it in!

I love the print and silhouette on these new release harem trousers from EMERY. Now, they - are the shit. Also, my romance with ADDICT separates is still going strong (thanks for asking, we'll be celebrating an anniversary shortly), so I paired it with a breezy tank for effortless sex appeal.

Top it all off with a pair of oversized shades from EPOQUE, some glam accessories, and hot new hair from VIVE9 and leave 'em in your dust.

FYI #8: Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY CYNICS!

I know, I know, it's a faux holiday. But it's also an excuse to wear pink, and more importantly, for creator's to put out new content and that's something we can all get down and dirty with, right?

Here is an array of random stuff that I love, covering a scope of old stuff, different events, gifts and new releases. I hope you love it too.

Décor #2: My Own Home! Pt. 2




Round 2. The dining area. This took a while, mostly 'cause I still aspire to have neat 'clutter' and I can't stand empty corners. I like my home to feel lived in and not quite so sterile, but still pretty.

The main feature of course is the Klee Dining Room set from Colleen Desmoulins' THE LOFT. This is one of the releases she had over Christmas and I lost a few of the holiday props, but still love the setting so much that when the making merry was over, it had to stay.

My second favourite item is the Nevsky Prospekt tea service from POST. A new to me store with loads of eclectic, beautifully textured items for your builds. It rates highly amongst my must see furnishing LMs.

So, who's up for a dinner party?

Dressed Down #20: Bold Bitch

Just checkin' in with the backlog of stuff I have. I felt like being glamorous in-world, to spite the overworked, exhausted hag I've become in RL.

WILLOW is a relatively new to me store, be sure there will be more posts to come in which their creations will be featured, including another La PREMIERE sneak peak.

I'm actually genuinely surprised I ended up using this turban from LAGYO for the ONE ELEVEN event. I never, EVER thought I would, but there you have it. C'est la vie.

La PREMIERE - COCOROSIE Sneak Peak

Hola! Wow. It's been a while. I'm so redundantly sorry for failing and falling behind, etc but I've kind of been a lot busy in RL and alittle busy in-world.

Just to keep you all, my nearest and dearest, in the loop - here's a tiny sneak peak into a little video I'm making in-world. It's going to be a recreation of a music video by ethereal songstresses, Cocorosie. At the moment, I'm in 'pre-production', acquiring sets, props and of course, costumes!

So here are two looks for Sierra from the video. Hope you like it, and I'll be back with a proper post in a little while.
