The gold cross necklace is from RYCA.

'Some Foolish Game' ft Fiore, Mina, ZoZ, Slink, RYCA, Ikon, Modern Couture, Le Primitif, A&C

Something in the way she moves, or looks my way, or calls my name
that seems to leave this troubled world behind.

And if I'm feeling down and blue or troubled by some foolish game,
she always seems to make me change my mind..

She has the power to go where no one else can find me and to silently remind me
of the happiness and the good times that I know..

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, she's around me now almost about all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now, she's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine...

'Till Summer Comes Around' ft WoW, Little Bones, Beloved, HighRize, Ikon, Slink, ZoZ, Wirefly

Another long summer's come and gone
I don't know why it always ends this way
The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight

You had to go I understand
But you promised you'd be back again
And so I wander around this town
'Til summer comes around..

"Baby I'll be back again", you whispered in my ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
And everythin' is closin' down
'Til summer comes around

WoW skins have just released their latest skin and here she is.. this is Taylor and she's now on sale at the WoW Main Store. This is the Dark Tan shade, also available in Milk, Tan or Bronze, choice of 6 make ups, with or without brows and cleavage. I chose the no brow option here and added these Laylani slashed brows from BH Cosmetics. Hair is Jill from Naomie Dirval. Earrings Hovl - RYCA.

Eyes are Ikon Sunrise in black, Vampire Lashes are from Redgrave. Ancient Eyeliner from Moda. Face Piercing - Juicious from Pekka.

I'd already chosen what to wear for the pics today but then my old friend Angelica sent me this lovely 'Nanny' corset outfit from !Soul for my Rez Day (four years - where did they go???) so I thought I'd wear the top in her honor today :) There is also a lovely white/red skirt and boots included in the Nanny Outfit. I was going with red/black today so this skirt is an old fave of mine from Furore.

Bad Girl Sunglasses from Pure Poison, Gangsta necklace, bracelets and knuckle ring from Pomposity
Mesh hand and feet are Slink. Nail Colour is ZoZ Black Ice and the shoes for Slink High Feet are  Certified Translucent Love & War (Red) from HighRize. The knee sock is from Pervette.

'Out of the Blue' ft !Soul, WoW, Pomposity, ZoZ

Just time for another quickie post - I almost missed this promo corset outfit from !Soul, it's on special offer right now but not for long - everything at !Soul is so inexpensive anyway, you can't go wrong, but this is 30% off, so hurry! It consists of the bra, corset top, skirt and boots.

 Also for a limited time is this gorgeous new skin from WOW, she's called Saida and she's out now @ The Designer Circle. This is the darktan tone but she's also available in in Bronze and Tan. Each tone is 99$L and appliers and a shape are also available.

'She' ft Panda Punx, Pekka, Just Dave, Slink, Hucci, PosESion, Ikon, Maxi Gossamer, Storax Tree, Brii Underground Wear, LaViere.

Red and Black look so classic together, when I saw this Brii Underground Wear Tiffany Outfit @ Feebs Salesroom it just jumped out at me! You get the skirt, jacket and hat pictured here and also jewelry and shoes which aren't shown, brilliant value outfit! I love the vintage look of this too, so I dug out this vintage screen, rug and dresser from Storax Tree, a fantastic store to browse round :) The poses in the first two photos are Maya from PosESion @ Kustom9 and the third photo was from oOo Studio (candy)

Today being the 21st there is the 21shoe thing happening, where several stores have 2 pairs of shoes for the price of one, there are several participating, Slink, N-Core, to name two and also Hucci - so I went to check them out and ended up not getting the promotion ones, I just fell for these classic black widow Hucci Jacmel pumps. They are add ons for the Slink High Feet.

This pretty skin is from Panda Punx - she's called Avery and you can find her at the Spring Wishes Market - and she comes complete with shape and all appliers - I dont know about you, but if I am looking at skins and they don't have appliers included or at least available at a reasonable price, I'm outta there! Hair is called Amanda from LaViere.

Lip colour is Homicidal (fear) @ Pekka, Nails are 'Still Night' for Slink Mesh hands @ Hello Dave, Eyes are Ikon Ascension Nymph. And last but not least - the jewelry set is from Maxi Gossamer - it's called Annoushka - Black Diamonds and the Earrings, 2 Necklaces and Rings Set was only 50$L, not sure if that was a pricing error, but are we gonna complain? Hell No!

'Less is More' ft Little Bones, Pomposity, 1Hundred, DeeTalez, Reign, DRD, Ikon, Egozy, Slink, ZoZ, Atooly

I usually spend ages looking for somewhere or something interesting to stand against when I take a photo, silly really when I end up cropping most of it out, so today I'm being a bit of a copy-cat in that I've been drooling over the pics of a brilliant blogger and thought I'd try something similar.. you can check out Nici's Blog HERE, every single post is mouth watering!

This didn't exactly look how I planned, the background went all wibbly wobbly .. lol .. but live and learn! Anyways, today I've had the day off work RL so spent ages scooting round different places on SL, nice to have the time to shop.. so I found these lovely seamed stockings by DeeTaleZ with appliers for slink feet @ Whore Couture3 which I thought had finished for some reason, but it's open till the end of March, so get on over there while you can. Also from DeeTaleZ is this sexy skirt with the zip opening up the back..

The Worded Heart Thigh Band/Garter (Gacha@ Main Store) Bullet Bracelet (Suicide Dollz Event ) and Deadly Necklace are all from Pomposity.

Soon as I clapped eyes on these DRD shoes I HAD to have them! They're called Whore heels, and are for the Slink High Feet -  available in loads of other colours, they're on sale @ The Big Show - and also from there I found this Reign studded headband and Caught Top from 1 Hundred - you can wear your mesh boobs with this, there are appliers but I tend not to use them much.

Also thanks to Punki who also has one of the best blogs you'll find - take a look HERE - I found the Redgrave Vampire Lashes. I meant to go for dark hair in today's pics but then I found this Little Bones Eulogy @ Kustom9 and couldn't resist the blonde! Eyes are Ikon Promise in Coffee.

The mesh hands are from Slink and the nail appliers are from Zoz - these are a rare ruby from the Luck of the Irish Gacha Fair. Skin is Egozy Anjali @ The Skin Fair - I am fairly new to these skins, I found the Mendoza first on Market Place so was great to find another two at the Skin Fair! The lips are Fiore. The poses I've used here were all from Atooly.

Thanks for checking out my blog, happy shopping and come back soon!

'Spring Break' ft VIPs Creations, Maxi Gossamer, Naomie Dirval, Label Motion, Slink, Ikon

There's still time to get your Green on for St Patrick's Day, and I think it's time for a weekend break.. so I jumped in a cab over to the New York City Sim for these photos.

This great outfit is from VIPs creations, even the skin.. she's called Sugar and this is the tan shade with brown lipstick. The outfit is called 'I am your lucky Spring' and consists of a dress, glasses, shoes, bag, earrings, necklace, ring and bracelet. The mesh dress has a texture change hud so you can change the pattern and the colour, giving you tons of choices.

Hair is Naomie Dirval Brandy Braids Updo, eyes are Ikon and Arm Band is Maxi Gossamer's Seluku.

You can check out this dress and lots more gorgeous outfits and costumes @ VIPs Creations Main Store or on Marketplace HERE.

'.. and the earth stood still' ft WoW @ The Skin Fair, Naomie Dirval, Pure Poison, Beloved, Slink, Ikon, ZoZ, Label Motion, Divaliscious Designs @ MC Fashion Event

I really love this look, and hope you do too.. I started off thinking I'd do something oriental, didn't quite work out that way, but that's the fun of blogging, you never know where you'll end up!

Firstly, if you haven't been to the Skin Fair yet you have to visit, it's open till the 30th March so plenty of time, but there's so much to see there - it's epic, spread over 3 sims, with more skins than you can imagine in your wildest dreams lol.

My skin of choice today is from WOW @ The Skin Fair - she's called Yuki and this is the darktan shade, she's just beautiful. The sparkly red dress made me go "Wow!" too when I saw it, would you believe it was only 30$L? It's by Divalicious Designs - It's an exclusive @ The MC Fashion Superstar Event. Another place you have to visit, loads of lovely fashions and free gifts too.

My hair is another gorgeous one from one of my favourite hair shops - Naomie Dirval - this is called Brandy Updo - shows off the Pure Poison Desire Silver Jewelry set to perfection. I'm also using a free gift eyeliner from League I picked up @ The Skin Fair, Ikon Promise Coffee eyes, Slink mesh hands and feet, a Sweetheart Bracelet from Beloved and Slink Nail Appliers from Zoz - Silver Dip in red. My faceted ring is from Yummy. My poses today are Label Motion Ally from The Dressing Room Fusion.

'A few of my favourite skins....' ft Zoul Creations & The Skinnery @ The Skin Fair

A quick post featuring two of my favourite skins @ The Skin Fair, and this was just the first few minutes of it opening!

This is Robyn by Zoul Creations - she comes in shades from 0-7, 2 cleavage options, light, dark or no brows and 10 lip colours/eyeshadows.

.. and this is Skinnery's Quiana - Also has 8 skin tones, 3 cleavage options - both skins are totally different yet totally gorgeous!

'Let it Rain' ft Panda Punx, VIPs Creations, Truth, Ikon, Slink

Hiya - hope you're all enjoying the Skin Fair that's started this week, I have the third one from Zoul to show you in another post if I have time, but first I've got a cute little outfit from VIPs Creations - great for St Patrick's Day of course but I'd wear them anyday, I love the design of these harem pants with the flat sandals.

This lovely skin is Hera, the group  gift for March @ Panda Punx - I really need to practise more taking photos of pale skins, there must be some secret to it.. I dont do the skin justice here, so you'll just have to pop along to the store and try it yourselves!

This outfit is called Luck Girl and comes with a hat (not shown) jumper, harem pants, eyes, shoes, earrings, bangles, glasses, makeup and a clover face tattoo

The hair is Elektra from Truth. I meant to wear the green eyes that come with the outfit but I forgot and still have the Ikon Promise Coffee ones here! Lucky Girl is available from the VIPs Creations store or on Marketplace HERE.

See you soon I hope, thanks for checking out the blog!

'Lucky Day' ft Zoul Creations, VIPs Creations, LeLutka, Ikon

Well, I said I might change my mind.. and out of the three NEW skins created by Zoul Creations for this week's skin fair, I thought I preferred Cara which I showed you yesterday, but I'm not sure any more.. they are all gorgeous! This is Meili, I'm wearing tone 3 here, there are a mass of tones to chose from, 0-7 in fact, you can wear it with light brows, dark brows or no brows, here I am wearing the skin with dark brows and she also has 10 lips and 10 eye colours. The lips here are shade 01 - I am wearing green shadow that comes with today's outfit though.

My outfit today is a gorgeous green dress and accessories from VIPs Creations - It's called Green Nights and is out in time for all the St Patrick's Day celebrations coming up! It includes gown, gloves, eye make up, lipstick (not shown), 2 hats, necklace, earrings, bracelet and clutch bag.

It looks stunning with this strawberry blonde Lelutka Canto hair and the mesmorising Ikon Coffee Promise eyes. I've got several of the Promise Eyes, they are all gorgeous though I seem to drift back to the coffee ones most often.

There are two versions of this cute hat, with or without the netting.

I feel a bit of a cheat really.. this outfit was sooo easy to put together, I hardly had any work to do, I popped on the outfit, I knew the hair and eyes I wanted to use.. the most difficult part was choosing which shade of skin to wear!     

                        

A big thank you to the designers who work so hard on all the skins, clothes, hair etc - they are all amazing! Hope you enjoyed the post and hope you'll come back soon x

'Simple Love' ft Zoul Creations @ The Skin Fair, LeLutka, RYCA, Ikon, ZoZ @ KaTnipZ Wonderland, Blacklace Beauty, Uni-qu3 @ MC Fashion Event

Are you all counting the days to the Skin Fair opening on 14th March? I know I am! Skins, hair, eyes and shoes are my downfall and I've got three out of four here today so I'm happy!

Zoul Creations are releasing THREE new skins for the Skin Fair this week and all three are gorgeous!
This is the first one I saw, she's called Cara and I think she's my favourite, though I might change my mind tomorrow :) She comes in 8 different skin tones, this is tone 4, has dark, light or no brows (this is no brows) I've added some I found in my inventory, I don't normally change the brows but I thought I'd experiment - you have to be careful when adding brows to a skin, as they might have been created for a different skin tone and there's a patch of diff colour skin around the eyebrow hair. Cara also comes with two cleavage options, ten eyeshadows and ten lip colours, all of which are beautiful.

I've kept it simple for these photos - here she has no lipstick or shadow, all I've added is eyeliner with lashes on a tattoo layer from Blacklace Beauty. Hair is Blythe from LeLutka - Bournville. The dress is a gorgeus gown from the MC Fashions Event - Dark Tribal Bow Gown by Uni-qu3 and the Gold Cross Bracelet & Armband are from RYCA.

Mesh hands are from Slink and the nail appliers are from ZoZ Elegant Black @ KaTnipZ Wonderland Black Elegance Event

Last but not least - her captivating eyes are from Ikon - these are Promise Eyes and the colour is called Moor. My song choice today is one of my favourite singers - Alison Krauss - Simple Love.

'Nine to Five' ft Panda Punx, Hello Dave, Chandelle, Ikon, DLS, Truth, Maitreya, Slink, Collabor88, TA, Mandala

Before I start - I took some of these pics on low graphics so maybe not quite as clear as normal, but I had crashed using Ultra, logged back on and an merrily carried on what  was doing, forgetting completely that the graphics would have gone back down, and by the time I realised I was past bothering lol!

Having said that.. they dont look too bad considering, the join where the Slink hands meets the arm is the most noticeable thing, usually on higher graphics I can't see where one starts and the other ends.

 I finally managed to get into Collabor88 this weekend and found some great office desks, bookcase, sofa and chair so I decided to create a staff office @ Afterlife and I'm chuffed with the result. I love the furniture without the poseballs too, just sit and the menu appears, less messy!
