FYI #10: Dresses and Dresses and Dresses, Oh My!

Ugh. Do not ever go on holidays. It's been completely daunting since my return to SL, catching up on new releases, sorting inventory and trying to put together some catch up ensembles without just chucking everything out at once.

So on to some of my favourite new and not so new releases! Dresses abound in SL at the moment and I'm so delighted. NSD, MON TISSU, LAVIERE, TRES BLAH, and of course the TO ONE LOUNGE event that has since ended. The spectrum of colour and print has been gorgeous, and I'm so hoping it's not about to end anytime soon. Below are a small sampling of what's been current.

Hope you're all loving it as much as I am!

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.

Dressed Down #19: Daily Elle

My small homage to THE supermodel in the world (I'm not biased at all) - Elle Macpherson as spotted by the Daily Mail a couple of days ago. I loved that this is what she wears to pick up her kids.

Point of interest, hot new boots from GOS. These are rather innovative for their scripted brilliance. There are three heel choices (Stiletto, Chunky & Wedge) and you can purchase different colour coats for a lesser price than the cost of the boots. Brilliance.

Now start walking!

Dressed Down #18: Totes Vintage

New LULA releases are becoming a serious day-maker for me. Featured below are just a small sampling of the new releases from MON TISSU and LAMB.

I felt like being a little girly after all the butt kicking yesterday. I'm quite picky with jewellery in SL (still mourning the loss of MUSE), particularly pearl, so I'm including some of my favourite pearl pieces from WHIPPET & BUCK, DECO and ZAARA.

To top it off, a DISGUSTINGLY gorgeous top from FASHIONABLY DEAD, a fabulous bag from ADDICT and a cute ribbon from TOKI DOKI. C'est beau, non?

Dressed Down #16: Reality Bytes

Hi5! for the cheesy pun? No? Ok. Moving on.

This is a rather simple ensemble but I was excited by the fact that it is pretty much identical to an outfit in my RL wardrobe. I was ecstatic to come by these shorts from the talented Kianna Noel of ADDICT. The design is modelled on a previous jeans release she did for LELUTKA. Never fear, dear readers, she will be releasing both items very soon.

This is about as heavy handed as I go with accessories, in order to dress up the look a bit more. The necklace by WHIPPET & BUCK is one of a number of cute re-releases from last year's Jewellery Fair.

By the by, exciting new post type coming up soon! Keep a weary eye out!
