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

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!

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

Where It Begins

Sometimes I like to explore but this time I was trying to do one of my beloved hunts. I guess the hunt ended before I realized it, but this sim is quite cozy and quaint and I felt like it accented my classic beauty look rather well! I don't do a lot of editing (As if I know how anyway lol) when I have nice surroundings like this because it takes away from the natural beauty of it all! But this is a great picture place for Bloggers! Check out here: Where It Begins Flea Market

Lagoon Lovely

Once again, one  of my favorite designers on the grid comes through with this GORGEOUS outfit! The detail in the clothing in The Niven Collection is perfect! This shirt is frilly and feminine and the snakeskin pants give the outfit an edge! The big button on the front fold of the pants remind me of a piece out of Prince's wardrobe. 

$GaNKed$ always has chunky jewels in gorgeous colors! This is my go to store for bold & beautiful pieces! Glow Studio's eyelashes are fab as usual and they spice up any look you wear.

This lagoon blue color is perfect for spring! These vive9 Pumps have trendy fringes on the back and a rounded toe so its great for dressy or casual!

Looking Through the Kaleidescope

Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,

And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Rainbow Connection (The Muppet Movie) -  Kermit The Frog

When I need a pick me up, I go to happier times in my life...Like when I was 12 and I had a dress JUST LIKE this, except not as many bold, beautiful colors. I loved that dress, and just like this one, it made me feel pretty!

I grew up in the 80s so this Niven Collection dress, seems like its inspired by that time period. The 80s are back, Fashionistas, so make sure you have SOMETHING in your inventory with a wide belt, ruffles, and neon colors!

The myriad of colors fit the name of the dress as does the pattern. When I was 5 I looked the my first kaleidescope in my kindergarten class and there began my love for bright colors and patterns. The gloss on the belt makes me think of fresh leather seats in a brand new car! WHEEEE!!

This skin from Body Boutique was a special and I felt the beauty of it and the contrast of the makeup on the skin blended in perfectly! Its my 1st  time wearing it and it definitely won't be my last! The tights remind me the Doublemint Gum as a child, passed to me by my mom, during church on Sunday morning to keep me occupied! Ahhhh..those were the good ol' days!

She's a Maneater!

RAWR! I feel like Sheena of the Jungle in this Cheetah outfit! Or a tanned lady from Jersey! You cannot go wrong with a well designed animal print. And the harem like pants are UBER stylish!  

  I love this sassy runway updo from PurpleMoon Creations and it didn't take away from the details of my earrings so it was a plus.

Glam Studio is my favorite go to eyelash designer and the Earth toned gemmed eyelashes brings focus to my face as well.

The Stiletto Moody boots pick up the gold in the earrings as well as the golden hue of the cheetah print so I added them as a final touch to polish my look!

The Golden Child

Aside from pink, gold is 1 of my other favorite colors, both in SL and RL! I just think its looks stupendous on brown/tan skin tones! And The Niven Collection captured these hues BEAUTIFULLY!

I love the eye patch because it gives some edge to this sophisticated look. Glow Studio's over the top eyeliner and eyelashes did the eyepatch much justice!

The clutch added a delicate touch to the bold designs and brought out some of the orange hue
