FYI #13: Lelutka Summer Release '11

Yup it's that illustrious time again - New LELUTKA releases have hit the grid. I spent all my pennies that were reserved for decorating a new home and grabbed what I could before getting booted as the crowds poured in.

The summer collection has everything you've come to expect from MINNU PALEN and THORA CHARRON - well sculpted pieces, beautifully textured and well fitted with the use of a variety of alpha layers. All in all, rather flawless.

Grab it while it's hot!

FYI #11: Epoque's 'schließlich', Spring Collection 2011

For those who may not have heard, EPOQUE is close to releasing their new spring collection. I know, I know, terribly awful to be teasing you but, below is an extra little preview.

I love the sculpts in this collection, especially on many of the gowns. The one shown below is my absolute favourite. They all meld seamlessly to the body and display a serious knack for texturing.

Because I attended an in-world wedding today, which is always a delightful reason to frock up, I decided to slip into these beautiful garments. Sadly I could only wear one, so here's the opportunity to share them both (I went with the tux).

Be sure to stay tuned for the release date, coming soon!

Dressed Down #29: Acute Acumen

To show that I well and truly am back in the saddle, (and also to catch up on some new releases and events), here is a marketed master post peppered with some fiscal acquisitions and endeavouring to drive up our virtual economy.

As you may or may not be aware, CULTURE SHOCK is the latest fashion/music event to hit the grid, offering up an array of new and exclusive content from no doubt, some of your favourite content creators. I was particularly tickled by MR POET's foray into accessories (Win). You still have a couple of weeks to brave the lag and pick up some treasures.

Also, MON TISSU has released their 'Ruffles and Lace' collection. Of course, it's amazing, particularly their new shorts. For those who aren't always satisfied with prim shorts attachments, you'll be happy to know that acting on customer feedback, the shorts come with non-prims layers as well as various prim attachment sizes. Market research for the win!

Enjoy the swag!

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!

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 #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!

Dressed Down #14: Little Girl Lost

So much newness my budget can't handle it. First up is this sculpty phenomenon from TRAM. I paired it with a cute dress from TINY BIRD that I've been dying to blog. Not to mention ELIKATIRA's adorable new hair release. And of course, my favourite boots of the moment from MIEL.

Sadly I'm too much of a DUTCH TOUCH skin devotee to change but ILLUSORY has released a new line of skins. I picked up the antlers. I'm sorry. Too much change scares me. But be sure to check it all out for yourself.

NB: A note on wearability, due to the nature of sculpts and movement, these garments will sometimes cut through each other. If this doesn't bother you all that much, happy shopping!

Dressed Down #13: Equestrian Debutante

I've been itching for the new Lelutka releases for a while now and finally managed to snag some swag. I've paired down the military glam look for something a bit more traditional for the races.

Point of interest, MIEL's 'Lia' boots which are colour-changeable for a very reasonably price in my opinion. It's essentially a fatpack for cheap!

Finally, perhaps my favourite article in the ensemble... EPOQUE's fascinator. Flawless.

Dressed Down #12: Going a la Gala

Soooo... guess what I got for Christmas? SYNDICATION, BABY! And so, to celebrate that and the coming New Year, I say we get totally FROCKED. UP!

I love doing cocktail. It's formal without going hard out, bad prom date. Today I'm going to give you two looks.

The first features a gorgeous little number from DOPPLEGANGER for the infamous One Eleven event (which is still on by the by - although I've no idea what is still available). The necklace is of course from PAPER COUTURE (can you tell I play favourites?) And finally a dash of class with some elbow length gloves from 5th & OXFORD.

The second ensemble is all about TEE*FY. I love this frock, especially the sequin detail in the skirt and the subtle shoulder detail. Plus how adorable is the TRAM fur stole? Christmas freebie for group members only (Go'on git it, gurl).

2. Watching the Polar Express AND Love Actually with the whole family
3. Posting a Christmas Gifts blog from herein.

Don't you just love tradition?

Dressed Down #11: Portobello Road

Showing alot of love for MILK MOTION lately, huh? I can't help it, Marie Lauridsen makes some incredible content. Plus I'm broke and having to rely on whatever's in my inventory, despite dying to splurge on new LELUTKA releases. Anyway, onward.

This is a summer inspired look, a vision of where I want to be and what I want to be doing - shopping in London on Portobello road. I was last there in August and my greatest purchase was nothing to do with fashion (although I did get some great stuff), rather I bought an 18th century edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

And so, relying on little treasures, I hope you too are inspired to create a sensory ensemble out of your own inventory.

Hope you love it.

Dressed Down #7: Flared Blues

This is alittle bit 60's retro but I love the silhouette. Believe it or not, I started this ensemble with some of the latest releases from MAITREYA (Natalie hair and Moxie shoes). Not sure how I wound up with this as an end result, but there you go.

I love the textures of both IZUYAMI's cardigan and the woollen feel of R.ICIELLI's pants. I rarely get to indulge in winterwear this time of year, so SL is quite a nice escape from Sydney's heat and play fashion model. Expect more winter ensembles from me, this season!

Finally, another cute highlight are the nail colours from TRES BLAH. I'm not a huge fan of prim nails, especially fitting them and most nail glove layers simply annoy me as they seem to not cover the nail bed featured on most skins, but Juliette seems to have nailed this (get it? heh, heh...yeah-.-). The fatpack comes in cute pastels and some solid basics.

Catch your groove, ladies!

Dressed Down #5: Harvest Leaves

Autumn is probably my favourite season (which sucks 'cause in Australia right now, we're heading toward summer). Thus I can indulge in the new releases from LELUTKA today. They've released a cute collection of cardigans, handbags and shirts and I have used the cardigan in olive as the starting point for this look.

Also, a word to the wise, if you haven't jumped on the Fifty Linden Fridays group, then you are missing out. As the name would imply, every friday a group of notable designers put out a new and exclusive item for $50L from 12:01AM till 11:59PM. Featured is the FLF item from SURF CO.

Hope you love it!
