La PREMIERE - schließlich collection spring 2011

I am so very proud to be able to share with you all the reason for my short absence of late and this is why. Vintage McMillan of EPOQUE gave me the opportunity to create a short promo for his upcoming spring collection, schließlich.

You can check it out in HD on Youtube here or on Flickr here.

The new line is coming soon so keep an eye out for that. Thanks again to Vintage, Riot Core and Dot Chaffe for all their help and support.

Lots of awesome new releases lately and naturally, I'm delighted. MON TISSU continues to deliver, REEK's releasing delicious sculpty-ness and ELIKATIRA never fails with flawless hair releases.

Oh and did I mention that the Spring Seasons Hunt has officially begun? BRB, dying of happiness.

Dressed Down #26: Quelqu'un m'a dit

Feeling rather cute today so I thought I'd share. Aren't I giving?
With everyone on Plurk currently working through the music challenge, it made me switch on one of my favourite songs (below for your listening pleasure) and inspired this modest ensemble.

I adore this blouse from FISHY STRAWBERRY, loaded with sculpty goodness. Also JANE never fails with their cute collection of dresses. And when you combine the two? No really, you're welcome.

Décor #3: My Own Home! Pt. 3

I mean, of course I'd have some semblance of an in-home cinema. The many movie nights that don't happen in my SLife, happen here (usually it's just me watching films old enough to be out of copyright and therefore free to air - case in point, my favourite Shirley Temple movie, the Little Princess).

It could almost also be my KARI space. Thankfully, it's reopened and once again pumping out some awesome furnishings, as well as accessories and clothing. Latest release is this incredible Komrad HUD, which comes with multiple settings for frames, colors and FXs. Below are just a tiny sampling of what's possible for in-world photography.



Anyway, on with the show!

Dressed Down #25: Let There Be Leg

I have two words for you. PEQE. Exclusive.

Not something you come across everyday, exclusivity is quite the novelty in-world. And with various weekly events such as FIFTY LINDEN FRIDAYS, SUPER BARGAIN SATURDAYS, LAZY SUNDAYS (wow, as if we didn't love our weekends already!), etc, exclusivity can sometimes be granted through limited release.

Note it in your diaries. 50 OF A KIND is the latest fortnightly event to hit the SL calendar whereby, as the title would suggest, designers will release a limited edition creation of which only 50 will be available. With a relatively low key beginning, most of the offerings (both fashion and decor) were snatched up within a couple of hours. I managed to grab this little number from PEQE.

Be sure to man your battle stations kids, 'cause this one is gonna be a bloodbath.

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!
