I've Moved!

I really appreciate anyone who has followed and visited this blog over the years. I took a two-year hiatus due to prioritizing RL family. 

I came back with a renewed passion for blogging! I have moved over to Wordpress since I feel I outgrew Blogger's formatting and platform in general. 

I have many exciting opportunities coming to me and I am elated to share the with you!

Seequin

I typically NEVER wear anything without a prim but the details on this top are incredibly realistic so no prim was needed. It did WONDERS for my ample cleavage! 

Clutching my beads..these created the filler space I needed and they add a different spin on my look

I am digging the patterns dropping for this summer. I have scored quite a few things on these past few weeks with the popping colors and patterns. I won't say that my busy schedule in SL and RL will let me post all of them but definitely keep an eye out for places like Collabor 88, Fifty Linden Fridays (which is back) and The Dressing Room. They have nice finds at really affordable prices and awesome designers!

What's Your Phone Number?

I just thought this shirt was UBER cute!! You can actually press the keys on it and hear the sound! And trust when I was at a hunt quite a few people got a kick out of pressing them! I didn't mind though..it was entertaining. Its resizeable but I am l-a-z-y and impatient so I didn't resize as best I could. Its still cute though! 

Since I was in a goofy mood these Maknie glasses I got in a lucky board last year fit the bill. I love them! Too cute! I might be a nerd but baby, what's your phone number?

Teal Me Something Good

I love Spring and all the lovely colors that go with it! Teal is one of those colors that is undeniably seasonal for this time of year! The owner of Lethal Couture usually gives us a sneak peek via her Facebook page and asks opinions of what we would like and I screamed, "PASTELS!" and looky, looky that's what I got! Every designer should be as accommodating to at least once in a while ask their customers what they would like to see in the store! That's GREAT customer service!

Connecting The Dots

I am back! I had to get a new cord over the Thanksgiving holiday and it took forever! THEN I was (and still am) busy getting ready for Christmas. And we all know RL takes precedence! Anyhoo, I know this sweater has been blogged to death but I don't care! I still bought it when it first came out and took pictures and got sidetracked and I still think its uber adorable, therefore bloggable (Yes, I created a new word!). 
Just to give you some insight, I blog things old and new...I just put a look together and go so I make good  use of my inventory! I do it for the love of fashion period and still remain fashion forward even going backwards!
So to my fellow bloggers that feel pressured to blog ONLY the new and blog ONLY what EVERY ONE ELSE is at that moment, I encourage you to go your own way! That sets you apart, makes you unique and keeps you from being so very cookie cutter! Happy holidays and happy blogging!

Pink Frost

Its getting even more chilly! So I break out my wintery type skins to keep up with the changing weather. This skin is UBER cute and from last year's Peace On Earth 3 Hunt but I truly love it! And the 80ish hair is just cute enough to set the look off!

The blazer is  from last year's Platinum Hunt, but as I stated before, blazer are ever fashionable! These MStyle pumps are all the rage amongt fashionistas on the grid and I got them in a hunt over the summer and just never got a chance to blog them. But TRUST, they are well worth purchasing and I certainly did!

Glow Studio will ever be my favorite (aside from Mandala and LaGyo) for accessories! They have yet to disappoint me when I am wearing something as far as completing my look. I am an old lady in my fashion when I wear my brooch! I love them and I am a sucker for a pretty one!
