The and More :P
We did the Cowgirl in the city thing, so here is the Cowgirl in the Country, again highlighting the incredible boots from J’s, the Black Fringe Western Boots and the Western Boots Used look are both fabulous for getting your boot scooting mojo going.Once again the detailing on these boots is fantastic, and both styles can look great with whatever look you want to do.
On the left I went with the Maitreya Cut off shorts , which are so tiny you can barely see them lol, and I stole one of Fia’s shirts lol , its from Jungle Wear , its called the Red/White plaid muscle shirt, and I steal it every once in a while.
On the right, I went with a short Denim skirt by Camie Cooper, with the Black and White Dart top from Rising Phoenix Designs. Love this top its so sweet and comes in an abundance of colours. Both Hair styles are from Celestial Studios , The Cowgirl hat/hair Brown , and the Annie May , I think Starley has some country going on in her too. The skin is the Crys_SmokeEyes_IceLips_BlackEB from PXL and even though it is made up, the softness of the lipstick works for country living.
Anti Hero by Pixeldolls is a set I have had for a while, just waiting for the moment to look this yummy. This is one of the body suits that come in the set, and its divine, the suspenders look and that laced up back mmmmmyummy.The boots are the Goth Buckle up Boots, so many incredible buckles, these are definitely kick bottom boots., with the laced up back bow as well they are sensational.
The hair is DarkChyld from Old Gravy, and the Skin is the Kelsey Chestnut – Glamour: Aqua from Dernier Cri , really makes you want to revisit all those Dark Angel reruns.
As soon as I saw the Goth Ribbon Lace up Boots I squeeled, again 300L for four incredible options in wear. But look how incredible those sculpted bows are , I mean YUM!.JB Gazov is incredibly talented, not just for wonderful sculpty skills, but for actual style, and fashion sense.
Again I wanted to mix the fem with the chunkyness of these awesome boots. In the centre we have the 3.0 Dress from Popfuzz, a great micro mini style in a huge array of colour.
The second dress is the 1.0 Dress – hee hee on the numbers thing – a beutiful halter style babydoll that I just had to vintage up with the Hair from again the Savoir Hair Headquarters , as is the first style too. Middle style is the Yoko hair by C+C @ Savoir Hair and the Vintage Vixen is from Jetdoll @ Savoir Hair and is scripted to size change on click.
Both skins are from the Collaboration of Mimi Coral and Popfuzz Bamboo and are just Gorgeous.
This next set I have had for a while, and its in my meaning to blog folder, so it was perfect to show you the Loosefit Boots in black, again two options with and without the belted buckle.The loose fit texture on these boots is just remarkable, without looking too lose they fit snug and elegantly to the leg, and will look wonderful with some nice 3/4 length skirts, or even a dress suit.
The Goss set is from UK Couture, pants option on undies layer for boot fit , wooohooo I was stoked. The top is sheer genius – pun pun pun- I adore polka dots and this is a sexy and stylish use of what is usually cute. With the yummy bra underneath provided you can choose any option of naughty or stylish, take your pick, for the more conservative try finding a nice black tank to wear under it.
The hair is from dD@ Savoir Hair and is the Edea style, this one is also click to change, I am starting to love that function. The skin if from Canimal and is the lovely Essence (Mystery)..of Simplicity skin, a nice subtle make up, so that your outfit takes centre stage.
Lastly, and the outfit I have stayed in because its too cute. The wonderful P.E Sneakers, incredible two tone leather sneakers with that bowling shoe look I adore.
I had to mix up some Artilleri for this – A logical place to start lol – My first purchase at last years Hair Fair is the Mariya style, I just fell instantly in love with this hair- actually Ariel Black of Rising Phoenix Designs was wearing it standing at the stall, so irony that I would wear her top and this hair in the same post.
The Cherry Cardigan is also from Artilleri and is just beautifully textured with a soft sheen to the fabric. The Somerset Capri pants again feeling their love, are from AD Designs/Diversity Hair and you can see the johdpurs bum arch a bit better this time lol. The fabulous Linda_Gold_DarkEyes_BLackEB is from PXL, and put all together I am loving my rock- a -billy girl look.
So that is a HUGE show of love for J’s shoes and boots and all the yummies shown with.

Lilith is back with force
Etain Peregrine of Dark Eden has been working diligently to upgrade her much loved Lilith set.I have always loved all the pieces in this set, as you are able to mix and match them so well. The boots are incredible and you have the thigh and arm bands that you can wear over pants or as shown in the blood rage, over the straps and body stocking that comes with.
I mixed it up with four different looks, as the belts in this set are also definite must haves, and the whole set is so well priced, but you can of course buy individual parts and mix them up.
But what you will pay for the complete set, is probably still less than you pay for most pairs of boots these days. The pieces are also Lochmeister compatible, and if you don’t know what that is then you don’t need to worry :o) , but its a good thing.
8 Fabulous colours to choose from, and Etain has even started to include the ARC in her vendor ads, so you can see that these are not as high as you might imagine . The complete Lilith set comes in at 244 and the boots at 117/158 depending on if you go thigh high.
Some different looks from left to right, a more girly girl pretty look, with the Saleen hair from HCT , white tank from Awesome Designs, Somerset Capris from AD Designs/Diversity Hair , that have the wonderful Jodhpur style to them with the arch bum padding lol. With the addition of the Eldee Atoll silver cover up, which I love , and with Eldee having a huge sale right now, its a must get and a must go to.
Next along the addition of the Love Hurts tank and shrug from CKS Designs, the Python tights in black from Saya which are freebies and lots of colours, The hair is a Newly retextured style from Philotic Energy called Kalia and is a great messy do.
Bloodrage Lilith in its absolutely hot form, with the addition of Defiance Mohawke by Digit Darkes.
Lastyly the Metis skirt also from Dark Eden with both layers of shirt on from the Lilith mistweave set for extra coverage. So as you can see, you do definitely have endless possibilities with this incredible set from Dark Eden. Skin is Pale Biba from Minnu Model Skins 3rd Gen line , and the panda eyes are just dreamy. Hair in white of course, you will know by now is of course from Maitreya and is the River hair.
Also when you go to Dark Eden, Teagan Blackthorne of Savoir Hair is a finalist in the Dark Eden girl of the Month, rules to be eligible are must have something on from the store, and NO PS work, all pics must be snapshots, so this is a big deal and Teagan would love your vote, click the orb in front of the pictures and Choose 4

It’s HUBba HUBba time
A little bit ago, the talented duo over at The HUB released the Venus Sandal, we all went ga ga and pined for more delish colours.Well feeling sorry for all us whimpering shoe fans, they have done just that, Venus Sandals in brights and lights, and they are just as stunning as the first.
The design of these sandals if you hadn’t seen them before is elegant and casual all mixed into one. The stacked wood heels with that sensational design are just genius.
Somehow I have one more colour in one pack and when I took pics I couldn’t work out one of the other colours and which set it was from- lol Im a nut I know. So lets just say this is a taste of ‘most of ‘ the colours available lol.
The lovelye bright colours gave me a chance to put on the fabulous Newish Brighton Shorts from AD Designs which is part of the Diversity Hair store. Wonderful summery shorts in not too short length, and lovely turned up cuffs detailing, I adore these shorts, they are fun and casual, but with the right pieces can be turned into a dressier look.
The top is the Britta top also from AD Designs/Diversity Hair , and is just beautiful. It has all layers, and the sculpty rolled up sleeves give it that little extra something something. I really like the texture on these, even though its intention is more of a shirt, it has a really smart cardigan look to it, but slimline and lightweight.
With the low neckline I wanted to show one of my favourite necklaces, the Retro Montage necklace by Essentia. The creamyness of the beads with the silver edged resin like pendant is wonderful, its like retro art that you can wear.
With both looks I am wearing the Clarissa skin by Adam n Eve, as natural and youthful as this skin looks, I wanted that healthy outdoors lovin feel, so it was perfect.The hairstyles are both from Diversity, the top is theThalia style and the second picture is Sydney with the colour change clips ; its a fantastic concave cut made on request, and ever so yummy.
Making sure I didnt get too much sun, I opted for the Sunglasses in white by Tesla , which are sleek and scrumptious.
Enjoy the sunshine, whether you have any or not where you are RL, get all summery today and stroll through some of the incredible places that Phils Place has. Sharing a Suggestion from Beanie Canning is what she deems as the Most Beautiful Build in Phils Place (ok she used the S word but go look HERE )

Swishhh Featuring Efemera Bisiani
It has to be said, as a dancer, I love high-quality flexi, so when I got the notice about Digit Darkes’ newest release, the Determined Coat, I tp’d straight over to check it out. And I’m oh so glad I did! Just look at that swishiness, the gentle flowing movement – totally delicious. I’m wearing the teal set just as it comes in the picture above, with the lingerie that’s included. I just adore the rich colour of this, and the texturing on the prim skirt is beautifully evocative of it’s movement. It’s just a shame I don’t know how to make video’s to show you exactly how lush the movement is.
Now, I have to admit, that the lingerie, great tho it is with the set, I probably wouldn’t wear by itself, and in my line of work, I need to think about how I look in a state of undress. *winks* So, I decided to try it out with some other lingerie. Black and red are somewhat signature colours for me, and I wanted to wear the black coat with red lingerie, but the belt on the black version was white *pouts*. If only we had more layer options available, would be fantastic to see this with alternate belt colours. But with that idea out of the running, I went with black under this incredibly sexy red which I think works really well. Lots of sets I could have chosen from, but I particularly liked Insolence’s Laure combo. The corset giving that little bit of extra coverage I think just makes the glimpses of skin so much more alluring.
With performing, I’m very aware of keeping my outfits fresh, and Digit’s clothes aren’t exactly at the lower end of the price range, which is why I resisted (with much pain!) the gorgeous Antigua sets. However, the plain colours of the Determined range lend themselves to a range of outfits, swimwear being the obvious example, and I decided to attempt a more casual look. Now, I’ll admit, this isn’t perfect, but with it being Sunday afternoon and all, it was a nightmare trying to search my inventory (doncha just hate the way searches reset everytime someone on your friends list comes on/offline). Still, I’m pretty pleased with the way it turned out. Kept it simple with a pair of deep blue slacks and a neutral tank top, but accentuated the turquoise of the coat belt with the Arizona turquoise set from Trixie’s Treasures. Sure not an outfit I’d wear at a sale – imagine the lag! – but I hope it shows that the Determined Coat can be a very useful addition to your wardrobe.
I also put together this distinctly non-traditional wedding look, which I just love and would happily wear RL – tho somehow I think my mother might disapprove of the corset! *winks* The Essentia Bouquet ties the whole look together a treat I think. I snuck into the ballroom from the Fleur/Nicky Ree soiree as I thought it was just the perfect setting, and was amazed again by the build.

PLEA to DESIGNERS and CREATORS and MAKERS of STUFF
Ok look out I am going into high rant mode.
Damn I wish I could make the font HUGE !
You have stores, you create beautiful items, we buy them, or in some cases get given them in one form or another, be it a gift from a loved one, or we sat on a red chair and green particles come out and we get a pressie…. or you happen to Blog and Designers like your style and you get sent Showcase Items to feature .
So many ways in Phils Place to Honestly Acquire fantastic merchandise. But then OMG, you run out of space in your store, you are creating at a speed faster than one hallmark holiday to the next, this cant go on , you need more space , OMG you have a sale and discontinue it all .
Stomps my foot HARD , NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
YOU ARE ERASING HISTORY .
The insanity has to end , stomps foot again *.
Why to not discontinue :
1. Coz I said so.
If one doesn’t work for you then these reasons might .
Many other designers use your products, they are constantly advertising your hair, your skins, your shoes , your jewelry , your clothing in their vendor ads. Hundreds maybe even thousands of IMs a week occur with the question ‘Excuse me your vendor in your store has a blah blah blah blah in it , can you tell me where that is from ? ” sure says the designer , I got that at such and such store , so off the customer TP’s and finds its not there, its been DISCONTINUED !.
Now that doesn’t seem that big a deal right , well it is, because usually then the customer returns to the first person and says they cant find it, so they then have to spend time working out why with that person, if the item is hot , it means this happens a lot – this I know to be true, not one week went past at my old work where I wasn’t asked about hair from HCT , thankfully that was old stock but in a multi vendor.
Once the designer finds out their ads are constantly being asked about, and so many of those ims of despair, they have to change them so that the insanity stops , same with stores that provide information on other items in their ads, that gets out of date and same goes, they have to then go and redo all the info and take new ad shots etc , that costs them money, and if the store they buy from does this a lot, they find it easier to just not use their products.
Now lets get down to, customers too the other ones that don’t make ads etc, sometimes the whole ‘you cant get it anymore is a fun thing ‘ , I know I myself wear Dazzle and Ruins to major events a lot of the time, so that I don’t ruin anyones NEW look by accident – “I” don’t care if ten women are wearing same as me, but I’m pretty sure they do . So yes it is nice to have some older pieces from places that are no longer in world.
But many get really upset about wearing things that aren’t out anymore, because in a way you are making them ‘last season’ and we know many don’t want to wear last seasons clothes – chuckles. For many designers its not just a case of space though, its a case of older stock may mean not as high quality as their current is, due to having improved as they went, and thats admirable too, to not want to sell stock to people that you don’t feel is your best work.
But I have come to learn that many of you are batty 😛 , that what you deem not good enough, are some of the sets people hold near and dear in their inventories. They are also the sets that made your customers loyal to you in the first place.
Now lets get on to the bloggers, oh lord its so hard to know what hair textures are the latest black , what accessory you adore that looks so good with these new pants etc hast been sold for 6 months because you always mean to get back to the store but don’t get the chance, but love sending people their way. Ive done a complete post once that wasn’t in a store anymore, not only was that a big fiasco but such a shame to all that read and couldn’t purchase.
I even met Wednesday Soon of Woo’s that way, I wore hair from ETD not having any idea it was discontinued , and the poor girl ran all around looking for it wanting it so bad – still feel guilty over that . Some designers keep old stock thats not longer in the store, and will sell it to the customer, but that often takes IM’s and time and catching each other on line etc.
Back to the gifting thing, a Partner buys something special for their other half, or a great friend for a great friend, somehow the Mothership rumbles and its gone, they are heartbroken, the item is no longer for sale and the creator isnt online as often due to RL etc , again heartache to try and replace something so special to them, and it could even be a case of first hair or a dress a person gave them when they were new, replacing it isnt exactly the same, but it makes them feel better having it again.
There are so many items I have that are discontinued, and no transfer, or are transfer and I don’t want to part with them lol. But there is a IM where someone you know needs that exact thing you have, they don’t know you have such a thing , they just have this idea in their head of what they want, and you know that item would be perfect, so you want to lead them to it, or gift it to them,but alas again you can’t its not in store and they need it then and there to make their look complete- if it was transfer of course I would lend it 😛 but so much easier and exciting to gift it to them.
So here is my PLEA! ONREZ and SLExchange give you unlimited wall space so to speak lol. SLX Im not a huge fan of, but sales wise apparently its better than Onrez for some, but for me Onrez is the one and only.
When gifting from Onrez you get a resend option if its no transfer, meaning if for some reason it doesn’t deliver, you the purchaser can resend it to yourself or the giftee, whoever it was on the receiving end of the purchase.
You get your very own online store, meaning http://shop.onrez.com/Sasy_Scarborough or any person you think might have items on their with the _ in between first and last name, that is how you find them, even if unsure if they are on Onrez , using that trick will find them.
they allow for batch editing , meaning if you do one dress/item in 48 colours , you can click the check box and do the desccription and details all in one section for all 48, then save and add the pics for each one.
Anyway all Im begging for is that you all consider utilising tools like OnRez and SLExchange, it would be so awesome to say now, ok I know its not in the store now but it will be on OnRez , oh you love this hair, its an older style but it is on Onrez etc etc.
So many people shop on those sites from work, people that never store shop anymore due to their time in PhilsPlace being limited, so they want to log in , accept all they have bought, get dressed and go to an event or meet up with friends and thats it, and if they find something by you they haven’t seen before and really love what they see , you never know what kind of future loyalty that could bring to your store.
Also if you dont think its your best work anymore , DISCOUNT IT dont discontinue it, aloow people who may be on a limited income the ability to purchase it one day when they have a few lindens to spare, they may have been pining over that gown half their time in world, and then its gone OMG I would be so upset, I had a customer once tell me she had camped for a 500L item, saved every linden to get it , do the math , thats one dedicated woman, and this wasnt your afk go to sleep type of camping , she didnt know how to do that, I asked , she actually spent time in world sitting on a camping pad every day for a few hours, knowing that at the end she would have that dress – you just got all weepy didn’t you , I know I did remembering .
So PLEASE next time you need to reduce the stock in your store, think about us out here , that never want to lose the option to buy your items, think about all those new residents that have never seen the drape dress from Pixeldolls , or the abby hair from Diversity – Yeah I nag aleri allll the time lol.
KEEP PHILS PLACE HISTORY ALIVE !
end of rant 😛

Dot and Sasy Dolly Up
Way too many moons ago to remember, the fantastic Kit Maitland told me about the then NEW Dollhouse store. She was all a giggle about these fantastic creations, and when we tp’d over to the then little street vendor cart, we ran into Dot Lane of the Dot Lane Girl Reporter Blog.
We chatted for ages and then, much later we were again talking about our Doll House purchases and planned to do a shoot together, well I FINALLY got it together, and tp’d Dot over and this adorable pic is the outcome.
Since back then Doll House has its own store and so many more incredible dresses to choose from. Dot is wearing the Black Pearl set, stunning piping in white features on this Dolly girl set. With its high neck and ruffled sleeves its full adorable coverage right down to the thigh high white socks. Look at that adorable mini hat, its like a pilgrims hat, so adorable perched above her booN BON75 Hair .
For her skin choice Dot has gone with the Fleur Vanilla Deux Parfait 3 , a wonderful skin with such beautiful bow lips, that its just perfect for this look. I wanted to look that cute too, so into my Fleur folder I went and pulled out the fabulous Marie Skin, with the porcelain skin and pink puckered lips I was all set too.
I am wearing the Black Alice set from Doll House, and I love this dress, not just as a dress in full Doll look, but I also love to wear the top half with dress pants, a lot of the Doll House sets work wonderful in that style. Also atop my head is the incredible little Kitty Bonnet , you just don’t realise you need a bonnet until you have one as scrumptious as this. Under it I am wearing the No Bangs Bun from ETD – I love no bangs styles as they alleviate the need for editing around different hair styles when wearing hats, and when time to remove the bonnet out come the bangs lol.
What prompted the Doll House look that day, was the NEW release of incredible Mary Janes by Smerk Gorilla. These Mary Janes are available at Here Comes Trouble (HCT ) womens wear section, and they are just incredible. The shading and detailing on these sculpted Mary Janes is fantastic.
They have a click on menu for resizing to fit your shoe size, not just for a more fitted look, but also if you want your shoes to look more chunky , which I think is wonderful , especially when putting together a look like this one. The Mary Janes are going to be available in more colours, which may be the case now as its been a few days, so make sure you head on over and check them out .
The MaryJanes that Dot is wearing are from Tesla and I do believe they are still free in her main store , so grab those as they are a wonderful style to wear with many looks.
I love Doll House dress sets cost only 100L , and are all beautifully crafted by Ravenlynn Templar of LVS , so you know the quality is superb.
Thank you Dot for helping me do this wonderful post ♥

Powers of Creation
A few weeks back Kai Heideman of Powers of Creation (poc) contacted me about the possibility of showcasing his and his partners work. It’s taken me some time to have the chance to share these with you. Powers of Creation is a Latex store , this store not only does the heavenly sexy variety of Latex but also leans towards the lifestyle ranges as well , and you know by now, that even as I am shy with my parts lol, I am not shy about sharing high quality lifestyle items.
The saying spend a day in another persons shoes came to mind during the pic taking for this, but in the form of in anothers skin -omg thats such a pun lmao and so not intended LMAO , you will get it eventually.
The first set is the White Lochfraß set, and this stunned even me in the amount of variations that it comes in, as you can see in the pic. When I chose it I saw white and thought YUM, but having it on there was so much squeeling going on that I think I sent a few friends crazy in IM – I should say crazier as they are already my friends after all.
As you can see I did an all over white look for this, which is always fun. But just look at not only the sensational latex work itself, but again all the incredible and superbly sexy options you get in this set.I would have been supremely happy with any of the options, so to get all in one was wicked. You have the full back and front with side cut outs, the front and back cutouts, the full front and not back and the cutouts front back and sides .
I love them all, but I would have to say that my favourite, in keeping with tradition for me lol, is the front covering backless option, I think its super sexy to look all innocent and covered and then turn around and BAMM nakey back.
The skin I am wearing with this set is again by PXL and is the divine Crys_SmokeEyes_IceLips , which not only has fabulous tone, make up and overall look to it, but the ice lipstick just went so well with the all white look.
The hair is a no brainer, as always I dig into Maitreya folder always for my white hair, and even with the new textures that is still my go to . This is the Sophie style with the lovely wrap around bands that are now colour change on click with the retexturing having been done – and if anyone tells me they always were I will cry lol.
Now for the Talon Boots and Neck Brace that I know you are just chomping at the bit to know about, well my lovelies, they are from DMMDI (devil made me do it ) , the Talon boots have a few different ways to wear as there are many pieces, but with full body latex on in the form of the White Lochfraß set, I thought it was only right to go all the way. They are just primtastic.
Now for something a bit more on the fetish side, and an explanation of that pun of earlier lol – I swear I didn’t mean to do it lol. The Latex Skin set in Black/Bronze is a full coverage latex option and all done on the skin layers, with the wonderful use of Eloh Eliots Skin templates. I can honestly say I was so proud and impressed when I saw the signs affirming this at Powers of Creation.
So much so I just tp’d over there so I can type what is actually said .
Due to the way SL works, you can’t have more than one texture on your head. Now, if you want to create something like a latex-hood you run into a problem: People wearing it will lose their face – especially when parts of the skin still can be seen. To solve this problem you need to wear the same skin with or without latex. Also, to show parts of the face, you need a good skin ,too.
Thanks to Eloh Eliot the ‘Another Skin’ is available under BSD-License. I took them and modified them quite a bit to the from up for sale here. As part of this work was done not by me, 60% of the sales from the normal skins will be donated.
Thank you, Kai Heideman.
Then underneath that there is a tally showing how much money is accumulating so that he can see a clearer figure and to what charity it is going towards. This is for the skins he has as complete skins not in latex form, so that those wanting to go up to the latex numbers have their own every day skin as the same skin that gets covered, it keeps everything real when going back and forth and is a brilliant use of the Eloh skins .
This is the Latex Skin set in Black /Bronze but also with the addition of the Black Latex Corset.
First off you can really see how this using the skin bases works so well – this would also be a brilliant idea for costume makers , I mean hello Catwoman , I had to stop myself from putting on ears and a tail.
The highlights to the latex are again incredible and if the whole latex fetish is your thing, then this set just upped the level. Also imagine the ARC on this, I don’t think there would be one at all, I might wear this to hair fair lol.
This also makes layer limits brilliant too, I am wondering why there isnt a without hood at all option, maybe that might be something Kai offers in the future. I am also wearing the Black Corset, that has so many options and all layers , long, medium, short length, extensions on pants layers also if you need them, and with and without cup options -LOL ONLY time you will see me without cups full frontal . I love that this is striped with white too, its so cute I look like candy.
Also when you go to Powers of Creation, in the front doorway on the right there is a DEMO latex set, so you can see first hand the work that goes into them. As well as live Mannequins modeling some of the designs.
So if you have been looking for some high quality latex make sure you visit Powers of Creation.

Smile, Persona-lity
Yesterday my day of inspiration started because of Beanie Canning from, yes again one of the members of Fashion Finds, seriously if you haven’t stopped by yet you should.
I was checking out the lead Beanie had given us all, on the latest releases in 3 Japanese hair stores , woot.
Off I ran and grabbed 2 styles from two of the three stores, and one demo I still am holding on to.
Once I was all styled up I knew exactly who’s yummies I wanted to share, and that is Myllie Writers latest from Persona.
The first combination is the Mini Skirt called Mollie and the Mollie Lace top and tank. The tank also comes separately and is a sexy combo, but with stylish charm.
The leggings that come as part of the skirt set can of course be worn without the socks, so you have pantyhose in an opaque look, which will be fab in boot season , or the leggings, I opted for both looks.
The hair I am wearing in this and the next two pics is the =TEKUTEKU= coco from of course Teku Teku , there is an abundance of fabulous styles there, even an adventurous dreads style. As well as walls and walls of hand painted hair textures for sale.
Later that night I went to Garfield and ran into Yabusaka Loon and Anju and so many other wonderful people including Sai Pennel and Lucas too. After buying some shoes (will be shown later Im sure ) I went to Yabusaka’s store and got this heavenly Choker , not only did I not need to edit it other than moving it forwards a smidge, but it has 7 different coloured stones on click, absolutely perfect and so girly girl that with the lace of the wonderful Mollie top it was perfection.
The Hair Rose in Grey and Purple from Essentia was a perfect match, and I realised yesterday that not only have you not really seen the Hair Roses up close and personal, but that you don’t really get to see a lot of the additional pieces I wear -if any – when I do, so Im trying to see if this way works better. The skin is the PXL Linda skin Gold_SmokeEyes_BlackEB that I showed yesterday with Efe, thats just adorable.
The NEW incredible Peep toe heels from AC Creations are something I have been waiting for, I suggested Aphrodite to a pair of peep toe ages ago , and when she got the time after her big move of the main store -which is always a stack of work – she created these beauties, they are called Sasy Chic *blushes* and they are just wonderful to wear with pretty frocks and dressed and sexy as all get out poking through he cuffs of dress pants or jeans.
The texturing on these too is divine, really classy and chic is what she was going for and she succeeded.
The next 2 sets are the Incredible Liane dress in Gold and Turquoise, I am sharing two today but there are other colours available and all the contrast leggings options are wonderful, I especially love the white with grey – lol like thats not typical.
As soon as I put this one , I knew that the Sasy Chic were going to be a perfect companion. Totaly modern Greek Goddess styled dress , and the shoes are made by Aphrodite , NO BRAINER , and of course as I gazed into the shoes folder, all the colours matched up perfectly – meant to be meant to be.
Liane is as I said truly a vision in old meets new, the wonderful tie at the shoulder in this one strap marvel had me feeling very luxurious and had anyone proposed running off to some island to dance all day I would have – Oh wait I did that *giggles*. perfect use of the layering options, with the leggings on the underwear layer and the dress on the top and pants layers.
I also love the symbol in the midsection of this dress, I am not sure what it means if anything but again it made me feel magical. With the Liane in Gold I am wearing the Medallion set earrings and bracelet from Essentia , the fabulous Tortoise shell Shades from Dernier Cri – love these and there were all sorts of tint options to choose when buying, as well as other frame colours .
In the Turquoise Liane, I went with this colour because of another fabulous Beanie tip, the *UnTone Quily* free bracelet(navy) which is a freebie and comes in two sizes, just look at all the work that went into this fabulous bangle cluster. The of Earrings and Necklace and the Gem Deco Silver Turquoise set – the Gem Deco collections come in gold or silver and many other incredible hand painted semi precious gemstones to choose from –and the Blue Harmony Hair Rose are all from Essentia . Because of the wonderful contrast leggings the Sasy Chic heels in the deeper turquoise matched wonderfully.
The next two sets from Persona are the Nola dresses, what I love about these straight away is their femininity with a definite old fashioned charm. Of course in my blogging land everything is timed to perfection, just as I changed clothes Roslin Petion of Fleur delivered to me the stunning NEW Lady Aurora skin, in the Vivant line of skins.
Unable to help myself I tried it on to be instantly in awe of not only its beauty as I always am with Fleur skins, but also the of course lol perfect match of the make up to the Cherry Nola dress I already had on – seriously sometimes, well most times my blogging kharmic energy is super duper lol.
The one other fabulous thing about the Fleur Vivant line is the absolute confidence that if you like the make up, you dont have to look over everything else, you could be covered from top to toe and only your face showing and if its a hit its a complete hit , thats so reassuring in skins buying . But if you haven’t had the pleasure of Fleur skins yet, then of course DEMOOOOOOOO.
Back to Nola now, the lace top of this dress had me all worried that I wasnt going to be able to love the lace on its own, of course Myllie being Myllie had Mollie up her sleeve -thank goodness. So Nola is able to be Nola, an attractive and very beautiful babydoll style dress, but with as I said , an old fashioned charm to it, so that even though short, its not revealing – amazing how that can be portrayed depending on the design.
The boostier style bodice look over this delicate keyhole lace top – combined layer, not seperatable – runs down your body as you swish as you walk. Again beautiful additions of pantyhose but this time patterned ones *squeels* love them , spent a fortune in the 80’s every weekend on patterned stockings only to have some (censored) smack into me with a cigarette when sitting on some ripped vinyl bar stool in some smoke filled dive at 4am – ok I probably deserved it then , or my mum would definitely say I did lol – but I DID LOOK FAB , and now you can too with these lovely detailed pantyhose.
Other standout feature is the lovely silver and feathered brooch that comes with the set, now in the cherry I am wearing the one that comes with , in the Grey I am wearing one from Kalon -more about that in a sec- another beautifully feminine adornment of earlier times, that don’t get seen enough these days, mind you vintage brooches in the style like this one are very very chic right now. So make sure you make a copy of this one and put it in your favourite Jewelry pieces folder , will look wonderful when just wearing something like jeans and another style top.
The hair is the second style I got yesterday because of the Beanie one, its the BP* anna mori/dark brown from BP* , I adore the backcombed look to this and the length being not too long, so its even cuter the amount of work you would need to do to achieve this look RL . This style would look wonderful with a headband or even a little tiara .
Now in the Nola Grey I went with bare legs , just because I can :P, but opted for even more traditional jewelry in the form of the Cameo Pearl set from Kalon , I have been dieing to wear this for so long , and every time I went to , something just wasn’t quite right , but see its because I was waiting for Nola . Love the choker and love the brooch , again definitely something you could use to add some uniqueness to something a bit more casual and even more modern .

Inspired Again
The incredible group over at Fashion Finds are inspiring me every day. Today again I was inspired by another member of this community we have here, Lilyana Dryke uploaded a fabulous song called new shoes and all day I was humming it and bouncing around in RL and Phils Place, as the Mothership was cleaning her engines I was home bound and inspired after taking lots of pics because of Beanie , that I ended up making this video showing a fraction (a small fraction ) of my shoes, was great fun and I don’t think I have ever put on that many shoes in one day before .
So in just over a week I have had so much inspiration from this one place , through all of the group just doing little things that make them special . so Thanks to them all ♥
