Well, I was going to wait till the man of the house came home to blog this outfit, but I liked it so much I couldn't wait!
I found this dress by Miss Chelsea at Fameshed, I must have missed it the last time I looked but it's so cute with this rose pattern and the little cut outs around the waist!
Am wearing some old Ploom hair. I don't think Ploom exist any more, or changed the name at least but I think they still have the older styles for sale - this one is Fiona
Well, after another couple of hours today (that I'll never get back as my Mother used to say) trawling through marketplace and inworld shops for decent clothes for my man's TMP body, we had almost given up hope - I still live in hope of finding him the perfect jeans - that fit perfectly around the waist and he can wear shoes or boots with, in a style he feels comfortable about wearing. Men are funny creatures, they like nothing better than to see us females (who might be around the 50 year old age bracket in RL, the same as them) tottering around in skimpy clothes and impossibly high heels on SL that we wouldn't be seen dead wearing in RL, but ask them to wear jeans with underpants attached to the waist or ass crack showing and omg, how dare you? lol.
So anyway, today he's modelling (coughs) some shoes and jeans which fortunately you can't see very well, cos he can't remember where he got them - he hasn't quite got the hang of this blogging lark yet obviously! He was wearing (before the photo) a nice jacket from Lavarock, which I mention purely because even though it wasnt specifically designed for the TMP body, it did fit nicely, so am sure you'll be seeing it here soon! His hair is from No Match as I said yesterday - I don't need to worry about remembering his hair, the last one he had was four years old and in that time he never had it off his head, we had to have it surgically removed! My Stuff: Head - Catwa - Sarah Body - Maitreya - Lara Hair - Argrace - Hikari - Blacks Skin Applier - Amara Beauty - Riley @ We <3 Roleplay Bodysuit - Avanti @ Rock Attitude Fair Ripped Stockings - Avanti @ Rock Attitude Fair Cosy Long Gloves - Zenith Earrings - Voodoo Rocker - Maxi Gossamer Pose - {.:exposeur:.} Stay Tonight Location - Rainy Alley
Now I have the love of my life all meshed up and raring to go, we decided to take a few pics.. not as easy as you'd think when most places dont allow you to rez pose balls! Fortunately I found this lovely sim called 'Gates of Melancholy' and the owner will add you to the group to rez as long as you clear up after yourself
And while I am in the mood to be picky, come on you designers of clothes for the male TMP bodies! About time you pulled your socks up and gave our lovely men some decent fitting clothes - how many men have splashed out all that dosh on these sexy bodies and then been unable to find clothes to fit? I was shocked at some of the ill fitting clothes my man tried which were advertised as 'TMP compatible' I don't know which mesh body they based their fitting on but it definitely wasn't this one! Once he logs back on I'll update this blog with the items that he is wearing that DO fit!
My clothes are the same as in my last blog - I know, it's terrible - I normally change outfits at least three times a day lol. I'll list them below anyway.. Thanks again for checking out my blog and come back soon!
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
'For those who come to San Francisco Summertime will be a love-in there In the streets of San Francisco Gentle people with flowers in their hair'
Going a bit hippy-fied today with this lovely 'Dawn' flower bikini from Rowena's Designs and the matching shoes below for Slink feet. They are both available now at the Main Store for 75L each - that's half price and they both have colour change huds, so a real bargain! I never could resist anything with a fringe on for some reason, so I had to have this Addams Victoria Kimono from the latest Collabor88
Skin is from my favourite skin creator Amara Beauty (formerly Zoul Creations) one of my first ever skins was called claire from Zoul and I loved that skin! This one is for the catwa candy head but looks just as good on Sarah - she's called Amelia, available in 8 different skin tones and is at the main store now! Body Appliers for Maitreya, Belleza, Omega and Slink are all free at the store too. Bangles are from Maxi Gossamer and the hair is Kirstin from Mina Hair @ Fameshed.
If you go away on this summer day Then you might as well take the sun away All the birds that flew in the summer sky When our love was new and our hearts were high When the day was young and the night was long And the moon stood still for the night bird's song..
There's a new LM now for Rowena's Designs, she's had to move her store, which is no mean feat considering the amount of vendors she has there! She assures me it wasn't as difficult as it would seem to move though. Make a note of the NEW LANDMARK and make sure to pop over and check out the bargains on offer!
This beautiful Laelia Dress was this week's Fifty5 Thursday item - but it's still available at Rowena's store now, so don't miss it - it has a 6 colour change hud included so you can change the top, skirt, belt and laces at the back, giving you tons of different looks. Comes in lots of sizes, Maitreya, Slink & Hourglass, TMP, Belleza as well as standard mesh sizes. Skin here on the Catwa 'Sarah' head is Glam Affair @ Uber - Kumi
Love this Truth Henya hair - it has a head band with feathers which arent shown, but anything vaguely hippy looking and I'm in there! I got the variety pack as I can never decide from one day to the next if I want to be blonde, brunette or dark and mysterious!
The dark brown 'Cosmic' eyes are on sale now at Cosmopolitan Sales Room by Insufferabledastard I usually wear Ikon eyes, but I was so impressed with these, I bought another pair too, they are only 89L a pair, so why not! The 'Royal' Bangle is from Pomposity, and is also colour-changeable.
Also at Rowena's new store and for 55L you can get the matching shoes for slink high feet, I'm showing your four colours here out of the six - where else can you get 6 pairs of shoes for 55L? Poses I used today were 'Laila' from Quintessencia, which I think may have closed down as I now can't find the LM or MP link, sorry!
Lure had this gorgeous skin at the recent Skin Fair I think and I missed it, but 'Victoria' is in the store now - I had a Lure skin previously which I used on my TMP head - but this one has so many more appliers - Catwa, Slink, TMP, Genesis and Omega heads as well as the bodies. I used the 'Sarah' head here from Catwa, it looks perfect too - I love the lips, which is always the first thing I look at when trying a skin. Eyes are Ikon Promise in Coffee.
I was lucky enough to get the Mina 'Mary' all special rare pack at my first attempt at the gacha @ The Seasons Story today which was amazing given my usual luck, I could usually have paid for the shop before I get the colour I want!
Pics here were taken at Kilu, Majorca sim, really great place to take photos! Poses in the first two pics are from Le Poppycock and the one below was in the chair.
Jeans are also @ The Seasons Story, by Evani. I thought they were a little on the expensive side, but then the quality is fantastic, they do fit perfectly on the Maitreya body and the bum looks very sexy so I couldn't resist. The applier bustier top is 'Sally' from Sn@tch and the fringe vest is from CoCo Designs. The Chillie 'Austin' Boots I've had for a while, got them on marketplace HERE.
Very sad news about Prince this week. I was going to add the video for another song, then I saw this and it's awesome, so take a look! Thanks for checking my blog and come back soon xx
Wow, this is the second day on the trot I've found an amazing location to take photos. I know I could just stand in front of a flat background or a white wall to take pics of clothes, but I prefer to get out and about! I can really recommend Devils Point for anyone wanting to take photos with greenery and landscapes, and I love this pathway and the gates.
I managed to get back into the Black Fashion Fair again this morning and found this gorgeous 'Georgina' dress from LouLou. I went for the leopard version, but there are lots of other designs to choose from too. It comes in several sizes, this one made to fit the maitreya body.
My skin is again from Amara Beauty, this is Kallie on the LeLutka Stella head - eyes are Ikon Promise in the coffee colour. Glasses are from Aris Aris and hair is Cuddle from Rezology. Make up is from Deesses.
My 'Viva' watch is the same as I wore yesterday, from RealEvil, the Misy ring is from RYCA and the Kika shoes from my fave shoe shop ChicChica. Poses are all from Verocity today.
Thank you for checking my blog and please come back soon!
I've been looking round at place to take photos lately and found this lovely place called Yorkshire Dales, and being a yorkshire girl myself, I couldn't resist taking a look.
It's actually the home of the Rayne Couture Store but just walk down the path from the landing point and you find this amazing landscape, perfect for taking photos, but also a lovely place to just sit and chill out, let the cares of the day pass you by. It's free to visit, unlike another place I stopped at today which charged 500L to move from the landing point! You can join the Rayne group, as I did - which costs 200L, but gives you the ability to rez your pose balls here. I think I'll be back here often, so well worth it.
Earlier I called at the Black Fashion Fair and found this gorgeous 'Seduce Me' lingerie set in the Berry colour from Mon Cheri. The eyes are from my favourite eye store Ikon - these are Promise Eyes in the glass colour.
This lovely skin is again from Amara Beauty for the LeLutka head Stella. This is the toffee tone in 'Kallie'. I added Lipstick and Eyeshadow from Deesses. The Poses I've used are all from Del May. The jewelry is from RealEvil Industries - the 'Viva' watch is on offer now at their store @ Cosmo Sales Room store and the 'Lux Fina' Necklace & Earrings are from the Main Store.
Thank you again for checking my blog and come back soon!
Love this picture, was worth all the moving my avi around trying to stand her in the right spot - I do wish people would let us rez pose balls in these places, even for just a few minutes, would make life a lot easier!

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me..
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all.
Amara Beauty's Shantia Soulstar has excelled herself again with a stunning new applier for the Catwa Gwen head - this beauty is called Lucie and will be on sale in 8 different shades from Monday 4th April at the new round of We <3 RP. Please note that Lucie is designed for Catwa's GWEN head and therefore might not look quite as good on the other heads due to the different lip UV, but you can always try a demo.
I was reading in a group yesterday that a lot of people are peeved with bloggers who don't mention which skin they are using in their pics. I can only think that some bloggers prefer to keep their basic 'look' to themselves and just blog the clothes they are using. I do find it disappointing myself when I love the look of a skin and there's no credit for it - I always tell people where I get mine, whether I have been lucky enough to have been given them to blog or bought them myself (which is most of the time!)
Another peeve was not crediting poses - so here I made sure I wrote down which I used before I forgot - the pose above is Foxy 5 from Posetivity.
Starting from the top - this hair is called 'April' and is from Crown on marketplace - I love their hair, there are so many shades on the huds, the only downside to them is they aren't designed for mega-boobs, so you might have to shrink the bazookas, but even so, I still love the hair. I found some hairbase appliers free for group members at No Match for Catwa and LeLutka Heads, so I grabbed them all!
Pose above is lori6, also Posetivity.
Big News this week in the world of mesh heads (and my world lol) is the release by Catwa of the new 'Sarah' mesh head. You need to go along to the shop and read the options which are available for this amazing new head. You can buy a basic or premium version and there are add-ons for animations, if that's your thing. I'm using the basic head in these photos, with the Belleza applier in tan which is called Mila and available @ the main store now. Eyes are from Ikon - Sovereign - Nymph.
Bracelets are Voodoo Rocker from Maxi Gossamer and the Emma Top With Laces you have probably seen on almost everyone in SL - it's new from Addams, I don't know why I feel the need to buy everything that appears in this store -well apart from all their clothes being fabulous quality and a perfect fit lol. Case in point being the Laura Jeans, they give your avi such a gorgeous shaped bum, I now if only someone could do that for me in RL, I would be a happy bunny! Handbag is Ashbury from Reverie - love this bag. I think I saw a new one out by them at Fameshed, I'll have to save up for that one I think.
The above pose was in a chair where I took the photos - RK Poses Mainstore - I felt a bit guilty using their sim when I didn't use their poses, apart from the one in the chair, but I will use them in later blogs, there are some fantastic poses there.
Last but definitely not least are the wedge shoes from ChicChica. This has to be my favourite shoe store on SL now. I couldn't decide which to buy, the high cinderella heels, or the flat pumps, they are all so gorgeous I could have bought the whole shop - but I finally settled on these mid height Sonya Wedges in black. I love the detail on all the ChicChica range, the stones and jewels look so realistic! the Ankle Chain is from Muka, has a hud to change texture and comes with rigged or non rigged versions.
Thank you so much for reading my post and come back soon!
So, I was perving Flickr as I often do, and saw some fantastic pics by Arcangel Vendetta so I went to the location - Kowloon - to check it out - I had been there ages ago, but I'd forgotten how amazing this place is to take photos. I'm still playing around on PS with this lens flare thing, I am not even sure if it makes the pics look any more interesting, but I'll try anything once!
Not much to blog in this picture lol.. but I found this lovely pose on marketplace and was messing around with the light flare effect on photoshop and this is the result.. and if the song below doesn't give you goosebumps, you must be dead already!
