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!

Sante Fe Sweetie

I had a laptop meltdown on me so I am UBER behind in my blogging!! I felt horrible about it but even more so because I had promised Scarlett Niven of The Niven Collection blog pictures! I finished one set and was working on another when it crashed and would come back up! Its STILL acting up! BUT, I have an external hard drive, and although it too crashed (yes, I know, it seems like a likely story right?), I managed to recover it on my 6 year old desktop! My computer situation is NO GOOD these days lol But enjoy! 

The colors in this collection are AMAZING! I LOVE the textures and the designs!! The necklace and earrings from [glow] studio is available in loads of other colors and really sets off a dressy look. The bag is from (Milk Motion)  and was a The Dressing Room Special and it just happened to be waiting in my inventory for its moment to shine!!

I was never one to try mix and matching but Scarlett encouraged me to do so and I love how it turned out!!! It was an awesome idea and looks so very gorgeous! These Vive9 pumps come with and without the fringe but I decided to go without this time!

You can find more of Scarlett's collection and keep up with her here

The Around The World Blogger Challenge - Enticing in England

This week for The Urban Couture Fashionistas Around The World Blogger Challenge, the letter is E! 

I found this great shirt and pair of flats on The Marketplace! I thought they were absolutely ADORABLE! I had been dying to work this skirt into a blog since I got it and I was elated when E rolled around and I could bring it out! And I won it from a Lucky Board at *RibboN* last December! I think they still have them for sale, in various colors as well so go check it out!

This brooch was a free gift from a store that closed last fall called WhoNose. It actually pulstates! Its uber cute and perfect for adding a unique touch to any quriky outfit to add some spunk!

 The makeup gave me an blushing type of look and it matched well with the overall tones of red in my outfit!

Hyde Park is expensive! You can see my disappointment in finding out the flat I had my heart set on to stay in on my summer vacation was far out of my budget! Off to the hotel I go!

The Around The World Blogger Challenge - Chicago

This week for The Urban Couture Fashionistas Around The World Blogger Challenge, the letter is C! There is a brand mew sim that opened up themed after 1920s Chicago! I was wanting to do  Chicago and was stumped as to how I would capture its essence. I didn't even search the sim and I saw another blogger on the FabFree Blog  had been and had great finds! So, I set  out  on a venture of my own!

This dress is from Cilian'gel and the color and design is pretty, feminine and very realistic to the garb worn in that era. It comes with another hat but I felt this hat from ElaiStar matched so much better!

 I dreamed of being a Billie Holiday of that era and landing in Chicago, fresh from the South being given the chance to woo the North with my sultry voice

My innocence shows in my face in this youthful skin & makeup I got in The PouPee hunt at My UglyDorothy

 I would explore and be in awe of the marvelous surroundings of the big city!

 I run across some of the rich mobsters and they tell me to be able to make it in the Chi, I have to be tough and strong and know my way around! A kid like me could get hurt in a place like this!

Having booked a gig at the local jazz club, I was able to afford a new set of fancy wheels! I was officially a Big City girl now!
