Resort This – DeLa, Bebae, LeLutka
This is the hair I was referring to yesterday. The Ohara hair by LeLutka is just beautiful, obviously inspired by Scarlet herself, definitely a Must Have.
Also a must have and total system skirt love for me is the Newish release from DeLa of the Leta Skirt and Top, and the Leta Jacket, sold as seperates and in such a broad range of gorgeous colours. I really love the Leta jacket as it reminds me of vintage bed coats, which I have a lot of RL , they are so adorable and became very popular to wear as shrugs over cocktail frocks for a while here.
The wrap and tied front to the skirt is lovely, giving it a turned over look and finish. The style is very resort wear and I found myself luxuriating on the beach in one the other day very blissfully. This combo would definitely also fall into the date wear category, very feminine and dressy, without being too stringent and uncomfy.
The Silvera shoes and Tiana jewelry are also from DeLa and as shown in the past they are superbly crafted. This set is also available in a gorgeous colour at Clothing Fair with all money going to Relay For Life, also DeLa are one of the sponsors of this years fair which is awesome, they are such lovely girls both Kura and Eitaro ♥.
This next pic is the same Leta combo, but I couldn’t not show this fantastic deep pink, what an amazing colour. With such a heavenly pink I didn’t want too much in the way of lipstick, so the Coral Skin by Bebae shown in both pics has such a wonderful range of make ups that this choice was easy.
The eye make up on the Dare make up is just divine, again those incredible full lips and perfect nose with the deep smouldering eyes creates such a perfect look. As I said before I would show a little more of these skins over the next few posts, and more you see in the form of my tummy lol.
It really is such a striking skin and definitely enough range to make it a go to skin, the type that you have in all make ups for all sorts of conditions, it also has such a lovely sheen to the skin especially in the Cinna tone, so as I said yesterday DEMO DEMO DEMO.
The hair I am wearing in this pic is another from LeLutka which is Venessa 2, I remember getting Venessa 1 as a group gift way back when they started making hair and falling in lust with it, so 2 had to be had lol. Finishing off the look with the Stella pumps in deep pink, the bows the bows its all so prettyful.

Tartan Power
Callie Cline is always up for some fun, and with the Tarty Girl sets it’s that and more. I love tartan, checks, plaid, gingham it’s all fabulous. The cute girly girl dress has an edge to it with the tartan in this case, and I really like the semi scoop in the boostier top.
One thing I did notice about the dress, is they don’t come with glitch pants, so make sure you have some sort of leggings or tights handy or you may just be invited to more parties than you want to be :P.
I am wearing it with another Callie Cline creations which is the Snow Baby Forever Sweater, these sweaters come in three different lengths with the prim collar, cuffs and actually a very scots like beanie hat – not worn.
The necklace and earrings are from Dark Mouse and are the Big Flower sets, stunning long chain for the necklace that is really appealing, drawing attention to the lovely scoop of the dress.
I saw Thema last night at an event and she had on hair to die for, I hadn’t seen that release from LeLutka and was so over there first thing today, only to find that with the new layout there were wayyyy too many styles I never saw released :(, I made up for it though lol. This is the Dianna style – not the one Thema was wearing – a beautiful smooth bun.
Wanting a bit of an edgier look with the tartan I opted for just the top, as it comes with variations with the dress. This is the Zippered top from the Red Tarty Girl- Tarty Party dress. I really like this as a top, especially with the zippered look, the pants I am wearing are fantastic Leather Pants from Adam N Eve, they come in lots of colours and the leather work is great.
Speaking of Fantastic, the New J’s 3 way Engineer Boots are INCREDIBLE! these aren’t just Must Haves these are more like, omg if you don’t own these you are bonkers. I am all about boot love, and especially biker/engineer boots. These are so well textured and the colours are amazing , but in the usual J’s style you do not just get one pair but numerous options in the one pair.
These boots are scripted that you get full up look, turned down look, and turned over 2 look, but even better is that you get to choose right or left as you do it, so you can wear one up one down, swap them around etc…that is a lot of looks with one pair and such a bargain.
The belt I am wearing is from Virus Co. the Scrap Mechanic just added a bit more fun to the look, it even comes with a hand held wrench as an extra with it, and is in a few sizes as well as mod.
This hair is the DJ style from LeLutka, another New to Me style which is actually a fab Unisexy style. The Leather Wrist Cuffs are from Sable Rose and they come in various leathers as well as other fun styles, they make a great addition to your edgier looks.
Lastly another mix and match look using the fun pieces from Callie Cline. The Forever Sweater in Brown is a beautiful shade for this time of year, I love brown mixed with other colours, especially like here mixed with pink.The sweater also has a second option for the collar, shown on the top pic with the scarf, Wearing also the beautiful Jeans Sculpted Skirt from Dutch Touch in brown, this skirt is lovely, the texture is great and the fit on the sculpties was easy. This skirt comes in other colours and the new seperates from Dutch Touch are perfect for coordinating with each other.
Recently when Newdoll, Whimsy and I went on our last big shop we ended up at Jaywalk, and while I was praising and ooooing about the fantastic socks there I realised there were many I didn’t own, so fixing that these are the fabulous Kelly Socks. These are the 3way Engineer boots in another colour, these are so fabulous you really Must Must Must get them.
This last hair style is the Sasha hair, a fantastic concave cut from LeLutka, beautifully styled and covering one eye, it really is lovely.
Now about those skins, Bebae recently released Coral , a New skin that is just all of the things we already love about Bebae and more. Beautiful bow shaped mouth in the glossy lips that Torie does an incredible job of everytime. I really don’t know how she manages to create such a natural gloss but it is definitely her fortay.
I will show more of this skin in the next post but as a glimpse the cleavage and shading on the upper body you can see is just beautifully orchestrated. Each skin comes with three eyebrow options depending on what colour hair you wear you have choice, choice is wonderful :). The make up in the Coral range is as superb as usual too, some rich and glossy looks combined with some basic looks for day to day wear.
Lastly and importantly 😉 they has shaved o/, lol. Remember DEMO DEMO DEMO.

Springing into LeLutka
The collection is inspiring, the creators are exceptional, and the way in which you wear any of these items will have you feeling that spring is truly in the air. The LeLutka release was a fabulous show and the looks you are seeing today were actually put together for the show by Mariya Nesiote one of the Stylists for LeLutka who did an incredible job. I will show a variation of some because thats just me lol, but for the most part they are exactly as we saw them :).
The Valentina dress is elegant and stylish. The ruffle is a beautiful addition to the style of this system skirt pencil dress, but you can wear it without and have a completely different look. The belt adds that little extra with a stylish L for LeLutka to show that you know where to shop for classy creations. The earrings that are a MUST HAVE as is all of the Jewelry by Miabella Foxley for LeLutka, but seriously the Hampton Earrings are to die for. Nana Heels you should all have by now are from Enkythings and look fantastic with this dress as they pick up the same shine in the black as the dress does.
Sophie hair by Maitreya is such a wonderful transition style moving from uppydo to casual retro creatively.
This style is the one that nearly brought the house down. Marleen and Whimsy both stated that they want to be buried in this Gigi Trench, and I must say that they can, but I want to live in it as much as possible lol. This is such a vintage 60’s inspired look, I love the texture and shape of the coat, and its ability to be worn as a shorter top you will see further along.The lovely tan/cream Kitty top is so soft and a definite staple, very well paired with the fabulous Chocolate Heidi shorts. The 100%Plastic bag was given as a group gift early yesterday and is just fabulous fun, the portfolio has me giggling all the way to my own shoot.
Miabella has done something with the Reese necklace that I myself haven’t seen before, she has added shading to the prims so that it actually casts a shadow on the body, very well done and the textures in her pieces are just gorgeous, all that experience in PS has totally payed off for those that are going to be big fans of her in world creativity.
I am wearing the Chloe hair by Maitreya in this shot because the cream cap just adds to the light tones in the outfit so well, the beanie is of course texture change on click , but this cream was perfect.
Who wouldnt love Green Zebra stripe, the Zeba Skirt is just gorgeous. Worn here with the Olimpia Sweater and Carla jacket, they are styled together but you will need to take the Olimpia collar off to wear it properly, or at least edit the prims enough so it fits realisticly. The coat is cinched in at the waist with the gorgeous Michelle belt, the accessories in this Spring 2009 release are just amazing.
The hair is Messy by LeLutka and the shoes are their new foray into footwear, making them now an all rounder, the textureson the shoes are beautiful and rich, these are the Shanon heels you will see throughout the post in carious colours.
Everyone oooo’d when this dress hit the runway, this feminine floral creation is the Flora dress, the plum pink mixed with the vibrant green is stunning and because of the lovely ribon trim can be worn as a top easily, as there are different options for the layers. As I said accessories are beautiful and the bags are so incredible through the whole range, this is the Glen top handle bag, a great hand held bag thats not too small you can’t fit all you need inside of it.
The hair is the Donatella style from LeLutka decorated with the Hair Rose in plum by Essentia. Another gorgeous pendant by Miabella@ LeLutka is the Florence, a Glass pendant with a metalic inlay, its really beautiful, reminiscent of a monacle.
When this outfit hit the runway it immediately made me think of Thora, this is totally her style.. Sinner or Saint is the question or is it just a statement, why choose?. The Masha pants and Tank Top are fantastic exploring wear, fun in the sun can be shielded with the protection of the fabulous Fedora hat, the hair I modded a lot under neath it is the Peta style.
The Sack Bag is a Must Have and if you are in the group a Golden Rod one was sent out yesterday with various other fabulous items, I am so in love with not just the bags from LeLutka but the inbuilt AO’s, I actually emptied one out of the bag and added it to my other handbag AO also made up of LeLutka bag poses and walks so now I have a left and right, I am planning a tutorial on that shortly.
The Jewelry is the Drop Pendant and Earrings in Mayan, and the fun and fabulous Cuff bangle in Lime by Miabella@LeLutka, so delicate and so many beautiful colours to choose from. Korina Ballet Flats are so sperbly textured you would swear they were velvet soft.
This isthe Lotta Top, a gorgeous sculpted top with a beautiful one sided straps look. The fabric in this top is just gorgeous and bring sthe whole look together beautifully. The jeans are the Mischa jeans, cuffed bottoms giving them a very cool old school look. The Wooden Bangle 2 and Wooden Cuff with the Tate Hair all give it a hippie chic feel that is very well established with the Love Junky Logo across the leather label on the back.
Not part of the collection already styled is the Olimpia Sweater and the fabulous Mona Jeans skirt I couldnt resist. Again using that fabulous Michelle belt to cinch it all in and add a little bit of the soft tawny colouring that is finished up with the Shanon shoes.
Silver hoops by Miabella are always a girls best friend, and these are dangly ones that don’t put the hoop through the earlobe but actually just rest nicely hanging from the hook, such lovely detailed work. The hair in this pic is River 2 by Maitreya.
I adore, love, cherish, and wish to live in these pants. They are the Olimpia pants and so far I have three pairs and want all of them. These are the perfect yoga style pants, they are full flare and just so gorgeous. The top is the Mila top and again sculpted and so pretty in the tiered style.
Another fantastic casual day look, with the perfect Sunglasses which I also love and there are many colours to choose from in the store, as well as the Cuff bangle, Sack Bag and Diamond Shanon shoes, finishing off the look with the Mary Kate hair by LeLutka.
Another incredible dress and in such a stunning green is the Lea dress, now everything shown today comes in a huge array of colours, so even if you don’t like the ones shown make sure you look to see what other ones are available. The Lea dress is actually so beautiful as a top also, I was wearing the top to this one with the green Olimpia pants and the look wonderful together.
The sculpted top needed a touch of fitting for me at the breasts, but edit linked parts is your friend, or use the resizer script like I often do in a copy version of the top, so you can do minimal changes at a time. The scalloped bottom to this dress is just wonderful and it flows around you so well with movement. The Hair is Eva 2 by Maitreya, the Eva styles are must haves for sure.
There is something too fabulous about high waisted shorts or pants, in this incidence its all about the shorts. The Michelle shorts are just that kind of fabulous, in such wonderful soft pastels, but the selling point has to be not only the high waisted look, but the perfectly cure contrast colouring on the arch at the bum, alluding to definite perkyness.
A wonderful way to get the most out of the Gigi trench coat is to wear it as a cropped tied up top, and with this ensemble it is just that, whether with something like the Silky Shirt underneath or without. The hair is a Electra and the lovely jewelry by Miabella that compliments the style and the colours is the Grace Pendant and Earrings.
Another show stopper is the Simone Dress, the perfect frock for spring, the dresses texture is like spun sill and the lovely style is just reminiscent of walks along the beach and sipping Pina Coladas on a deck at your favourite seafood restaurant as the sun sets in the distance, ahhhhhhhh. The Glen Top Bag and the Shanon shoes again perfectly accompany this look, adding the beautiful Mayte hair by Maitreya to the mix.
The talented Valena Glushenko has incorporated alot of elegance into this collection with a stunning assortment of Gowns. The Maria Gown in Violet is just gorgeous, a bit of tweaking needed by me for the top and the waist sash but nothing painful, the only labor intensive part was by choice, making a copy of the top of the gown and reattaching to the spine so that I could wear the delicate and so lovely Cluster Necklace and Earrings by Miabella with it.
The stunning silhouette this gown gives is just wonderful, and as an overly appreciative member of the audience said, a Perfect Bridesmaids gown. The Piper 2 Hair by Maitreya and the White and lavender Hair Rose by Essentia finish it off so well.
The finale wouldn’t be complete without the Wedding Gown, and this one takes the cake.The Odessa Wedding Gown is INCREDIBLE, sculpted roses underneath a tulle layer, if you have seen Sex in the City this gown should have been in that movie, it is that perfect. With the gown you get the lovely Lilys and an option to have them connected to the skirt as one or seperate which is very handy indeed. Wearing the the Nahla hair with this gown and the Beautiful Silver Hair Rose by Essentia which I actually have the matching wedding boquet of lol, I am ready and waiting – dodges the shoe Mel just threw at my head 😛 just teasing you ♥.
I know you thought that was it, but I couldnt finish without talking about the Skins worn. They are all the London Revolution skins that come in many tones, but I was wearing the sunkissed through out the shoot. The make up is beautiful and not too overly dramatic unless needed to be, the shading as usual is lovely and the face is just lovely with its full lips and expressive eyes.
All available at LeLutka there are 48 skins being released and many are being released in the Mens section also, I am only showing the backs of the skins in other tones today because I didnt want to change out of my Olimpia Pants in Black lol.
DEMO DEMO DEMO.
All of the poses today are from Long Awkward Pose, and some of them are the love bloggers pack which is great for minimal movement of the torso, fantastic for vendor pics.

Runo Runo – A whole lot of Sexy
It started with an IM about Shibari and a TP to the perfect location for said practice, that then lead to showing a new purchase and a top that was adorable, a quick TP and many many items later, complete adoration.
Yes another day where I log into an IM from Newdoll♥.
Ok so the Shibari part you don’t need to know about, but the clothes are just fantastic, and if on a budget then you are going to squeel. First off you must buy every fat pack in Runo Runo by Jojorunoo Runo, it’s just crazy not to, the prices as singles are insane, but the fat packs are even better.
One pack for instance is the UNDress fat pack , a Must have!.
The pack contains three completely different dresses in black and white options, so you get six dresses that also have many options for looks. This first one is the Undress Evening Dress, firstly imagine it in white also because I didn’t get pics of that. Then also imagine it without the tank tshirt from LaLaFooFoo because it doesnt come with that, but in fact comes either bare or with pasties…yes it is that kind of look.
The strapps and the skirt are part of the UnDress Evening Dress by Runo Runo, and are just gorgeous , I know one Ashia Tomsen that will die when she sees this skirt. The hair is Thursday, a great hat/hair combo from Gritty Kitty, colour change menu driven for textures of the feathers and band of the hat.
Another of the Undress combos is Cocktail, incredibly raunchy and sexy in both colours. I played with the prims of the white one to bring part of the dress up higher for more coverage, and it looks awesome, not too sure how well it would move that way though.
I think that all the extras will make fantastic mix and match items, the collars and armbands especially, plus I just love the strapped and buckled version on the leg parts, very hot. Again its a pasties combo, but with some great items from your inventory you can of course modesty it up :).
I am wearing the Bax Coen Ankle Boots in both the Patent Black and White, these are scripted for a huge variety of options. Lace upper trim can be turned on and off, an AO walk comes with or you can use your own, sounds, colour options for laces and of course a fabulous resizer script. If you don’t already have these beauties go and try on the demos asap as there are fabulous colours available now since their first release.
The lovely curls are the Delilah hair from Analog Dog, a huge fan of her curly hair it really is worth trying on in any of the wonderful styles.
I didn’t take pics of the third outfit because I ran out of time, but this dress the Silk Dress is TO DIE FOR. The options in the Runo Runo creations blow me away, I mean this is one set and you get four dresses in one. The silk texture is stunning and the colour is fantastic.
The shading is exactly how something like this would sit and cling to the body, its YUMMY. The sculpted prims are remarkable in all of Runo Runo creations, this set has everything clearly named and marked to know what goes with what, and yes everything comes on all layers.
The hair in this is the Sofia style from ETD, the store is closed at the moment but everyone is anxiously waiting to see what happens when it reopens. The Beautiful and extremely delicate necklace is from Bliensen + MaiTai and it is the Ghostflower necklace, again lots of menu options for changing the amazing leaves and petals, as well as gemstones adorning the chocker, they are an accessory store that impresses me more and more with every new release.
The strappy shoes are from Enkythings, the Bonita shoes are marvelous for a spring date and so is this dress.
This is another date dress, the Hyperkinetic Dress by Runo Runo is available in two colours seperately…I couldn’t resist both. This is the kind of dress you wear to remind your partner exactly what they have and how much they should appreciate it lol. The layers allow for you to wear all layers to make the lace a little less sheer, but that is just up to you how daring you wish to be, the style is gorgeous and as you can see you get both a long and short version, but also wearing both together gives you a lovely tiered effect.
The hair is Peta by LeLutka and I hope you are all ready for that reopening tomorrow, the Spring Collection is all ready for release at 4pm tomorrow and WOW is all I can say on that right now. The beautiful Art Deco earrings are from Essentia, the prim work on these and all of the Essentia range is remarkable, there is no alpha and no tricks just pure prim work that you need to see for yourself.
Now if you aren’t into dating or wearing very provocative clothing as such, but really want to give Runo Runo a whirl then don’t despair because their casual styles are fantastic as well. This is the Odd Overall set in black, this also comes in denim seperately, but I was instantly drawn to the black.
First off the buttons are large and beautifully textured, the sculpted pieces really make this a lovely set that can be dressed up or down depending on yoru mood. The shorts are adorable and if you want to deprim you can just wear the shorts with the top on its own. I have to admit to being a bit in love with that collar though.
The hair is Messy by LeLutka the style that I always associate with Thora Charron its creator, again you have got to ready yourselves for tomorrows incredible Spring 2009 Launch, NOTE WELL the sims have been rearranged in this big transition so be sure to update your LM’s for LeLutka Beaute and Mode. The shoes are the Black Frenzy heels from Maitreya the style of these is just gorgeous and the leather work exceptional.
More casual lovelies is the Simple Skirt from Runo Runo, the Simple skirt is available seperate or as the fat pack but again buy the fat pack. The sculptie skirt is gorgeous, the wrap around fronted and buttoned style is wonderful and the colours are just lovely. I am wearing them all with the Latte Tank from Awesome Designs, part of a set but such a beautiful tank that I wear often.
Tassel Wedges from J’s are just perfect for the simple skirt, especially the beige pair, these shoes if you don’t already have them are a Must Have especially with the warmer weather coming up. One of my favourite styles of hair from Aden is the Kenzie 2 style, a much older style that used to only be available at the Aden older styles store, hopefully it still is.
The top that started the Runo Runo lov. This is the Knit Tank and seperately are the fabulous Knit Stockings. The Knit Tank comes only in Black that I saw and has four different options as shown, incredible sculpties that I only had to move around a touch because of height, and the knit texture is fabulous.The Knit Stockings come with three colours one being grey, YAYYYYYYY, and have all sorts of options for where the prim attachments attach, as do all the Runo Runo pieces.. that is a big deal too, there are so many options for where you may want to wear each piece, so if you wear other items and don’t want to remove them, possibly Runo Runo has taken care of that for you :).
The shorts I am wearing are the Safari shorts from CKS Designs, these cute shorts are part of a huge release from CKS done last year and I showed the pants recently in another post, for a splash of colour amongst the black these were perfect. Tammy 2 is another style from Aden and it seems I really like his 2’s lol, this hair also has extensions options, not worn.
Ok now about the skins.
Recently as shown partially in another post, Blow Pop Creator Annyka Bekkers released and rebranded with the New Infinity Line. This skin is the Carmen Skin in Raw Sienna tone, the tone is beautiful and the Skins face is just gorgeous. The make up is really striking and the lips themselves are full and luscious, just how I like my lips to be. You really need to try on all of the New Infinity line, as they are such incredible Hand Drawn skins.
Annyka has spent months perfecting them, and it has paid off. There is such versatility in the whole range, DEMO DEMO DEMO.
All of todays poses are by Ana Lu Fresh Poses, there has been a recent new release in the Ana Lu store and this post was a mix of older and new poses.
Have a great day/night and thank Newdoll for the yummies next time you see her out and about, but be careful she might tie you to something ;).

Slippery
A beautiful NEW Skin to the ever expanding Gala skin line is Pin-Up, and as the name suggests it is all pouty lips and starlet styled make up that will have you panting, or possibly your partner will be.
To start off the huge post of Pin Up Skins by Gala, I am wearing Pin Up from Stellar * Waves to Lexi* . The pieces to this set are extremely sexy and great fun. You can opt for with or without the flexi addition to the strapless top, that is tightly laced at the front, highlighting the beautiful shading of the skins. The mini flexi skirt is a staple in any Stellar fans wardrobe and the print on this one is fab. The bangle is also included in the set, and if you are a red/black combo fan I am sure it will be worn alot.
All of the main pics in this post are featuring the Sundust tone in the Pin Up Skins by Gala, the tone is just gorgeous as are all of them, but I spent the day in the SL sun today so it was appropriate ;), but when I took all the tones pics further down I wanted to do another 50 pics, but I spared you :P. As before all the tones come in both a dark and light version, I am wearing the dark option and this is the Starlet 1 make up. I have to say that during this shoot, I kept having a Taylor from B&B kind of thought process with these skins, and hey to look one pixel like that woman would make me very very happy indeed.
What I really like in these is the obvious lightness to the face, in such a way as to really show that you are in fact wearing make up, that there is all over coverage going on.
The bodies of these skins are just as the last release, so beautifully shaded and the stomach is just gorgeous. The hair I am wearing, and yes again I am doing Hair all by the same store, I don’t want you wearing yourself out running all over the place 😛 , oh wait you will for clothes anyway lol. The hair is from Magika and is the Lucy style with an adorable bow at the top, slightly alluding to innocence until you travel further down the body.
Ok so by now I know you are going OMG WHERE ARE THOSE BOOTS FROM ?, I know right. They are my new hotness bought for me by my Main Hotness Mel. These are the XPosed Boots by Fussy and these boots are all that and a bag of chips. A triple MUST MUST MUST HAVE!. They are sculpted toes and heel, with a hud that allows for skin change and nailpolish changes, these boots are sooo Sexy and I am dieing for them to come in more colours, and possibly leather options not only patent/latex…not that I have any issues wearing this kind of texture lol as you can see they fit into my wardrobe very smoothly, but PLEEEEEEEASE make me some more more more Satomi pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. Oh and I didnt meantion BOWS on the back lol , these are so yummy I couldn’t take them off.
Also wearing the Solid Black Raincoat from Elixir, these coats in the past I have shown in the sheer latex version, I am really liking the solids as they allow for more mixing up with other items. The Slung Mini skirt is also from Elixir and is an older style that is really sexy and I really like the innovative way that Elixir have created this skirt to look a particular way, and also to work with the way prims work in SL.
A New style from Magika is the Buns hair, really nice large buns, two of them at the back of the head with thick bangs sideswept at the front. This is the Jitterbug 1 Make Up from Gala in the Pin Up skin, and the red in these lips is smashing.
One of my favourite older items from BareRose is this Basket. A long time friend Luve had this easter of 2007 and we ran right over and got me one, we also went there in bunny avatars and acted crazy for a few hours lol. I ran into June yesterday and she assures me that it is still there, and even though it was created with easter in mind it is just so very Goth Lolita looking, and the skully black eggs, I mean hello stink bombs lol.The beautiful Dress is the Julia dress by Popfuzz Bamboo and it really is lovely, the dress comes in a huge assortment of colours, as do many Popfuzz creations, strapless with a light spray of floral embelishment across the top of the dress gives it that little extra in this tube style I adore for SL, no chance of it falling down.
More beautiful embelishments are in the form of the Tiana Necklace and Earrings from DeLa, these are so delicate and beautiful. They come in various colours but also with silver and gold options available. The new releases coming out of DeLa lately are really stepping up into a new level as Kura has been creating with new software and has been spending hours per day learning her new methods, and to me it is well worth the sacrifice of time in world.
The Apple Pie Make up from Gala Pin Up is another brilliant red lipstick option, one release with this many red lippy variations is just fantastic. The hair is the Olga style, another New release from Magika, I am loving the tamer styles coming from there lately, with the cute pins on the sides, Magika is giving their customers an all situations hair range.
The other week we had another one of our, ‘Fia needs to shop” days that ended with all of the girls spending money lol, how he puts up with us I don’t know…oh wait I mean me :P. Actually now that I look at it closer this pic has Fia all over it, starting with the I Bite Belt from Miau Haus, we went there back in Aug 2006 and bought this belt, I loved it then so much and still do.
The Bloomers I am wearing are from Scribble, these come in different colours highlighting the black bloomers, but these are the black/black pair and they are puffy and cute as in a more modern way than previous bloomers I have shown. This post kind of made me realise that there are Pin Ups from all sorts of genres, I mean a Pin Up is really just someone you admire and find attractive, whether you are Male/Female, Punk, Goth, Neko, Furry or a fish its about that appeal and attraction.
The bikini top is from Elixir and is their latex bikini which comes on all layers and is very handy to have. The Aggression ArmBands are from Digital Dragon Designs and are wickedly cool and actually match some other boots I have from there. The other fantastic accessories I have are the Open Handcuffs Necklace and lipring by Sable Rose, the lipring I have been wearing on and off for days it is so cool, and actually from a distance looks like vamp teeth lol. Incredible work is coming from Sable Rose lately and more wonderful creations to come.
An old set of Ink from TRUTH is the Betty tat, I am not sure if this is still in the main store but even if it isn’t its a great indicator of the types of tats Truth does, also this is on not only different layers but different options, such as arms only, back only, back and arms etc. The hair is Acceptable by Magika and the Gala PinUp make up is the Pure 2 which is a bare make up and so cool to have that option with Skins like this.
The bag that we ended up getting that shopping day is the BLACK CAT BACKPACK SMALL “Nekovampi Pet” by NekoVampi this bag is too cute, and if you click on it the cat meows scarily lol. There are three sizes in the bags that you get and the price is fab. I have been wearing this one and off for a few weeks and it is lots of fun.
This next dress is from SySy , a classic black dress with a beautiful large turleneck look. To give it a bit more purrr I have added the Wild Animal Print Belt, Earrings and Bangle from Dark Mouse. I have shown the Zebra before in these and they are just as fabulous in the Tiger stripe Copper, the style of jewelry and the belt are just fabulous for this look or any pants/shirt combo.
The hair in this pic is Root Bear and for some obscure reason I keep thinking it’s called Sea Gull, don’t ask me why because I don’t know lol.
The Pull Col dress is a great little number for casual to dressy looks, it does come in a variety of deep colours , but the black was so working with the accessories I couldn’t resist.
Yay for YaYa , this dress is fabulous and again by SySy. The colours and the shape of the dress is so fun and carefree. I love the vibrant and rich colours in the prints on these dresses, by far my favourite has to be the firey coloured one in the centre. All of them are swish loving fun, you know you do it in your head when you find that kind of dress, I cannot be the only one that makes random swishing noises to myself
The fabulous hair is Riddle b y Magika which is a great tails style with full and fluffed out tails. Again one of the Bare Make Up options in the Pin Up skins by Gala is the Cats Pyjamas 2, lippy or not the mouths on these skins is hot hot hot.
These are all of the tones in the Pin Up skins by Gala, the body detailing is scrumptious and the tones themselves are just heavenly. In the frontal pic I am wearing the Dark option of each tone, and in the back view picture I am wearing the light. The difference is not a lot but just enough to make that transition you need on occasion depending on mood and weather.
I am wearing the Luna Di Miele Lingerie by DP Serendipity, this is their first lingerie line and it is really lovely. The fabric is a velvet look with lace trim and detailing, I especially love the scalloped edged elastic look to the trim of the panties. The thong is beautifully shaped at the back to accentuate the curve of the lower back and hips, a fantastic first lingerie style.
I decided to show Olga in more colours as its such a pretty hair by Magika :).
All of the Shooting Poses used today are from Persona YAY Mylie Writer is back from taking a break and has brought with her some fantastic poses. These are fabulous for showing all sorts of items, especially the Fussy Xposed boots YUM YUM YUM couldn’t wait to finish typing had to tp Newdoll over to grab some in the laced up and buckled version that I swear was not there two days ago I swearrrrr.

Post 21 by Chance Greatrex of Dare Haute Couture has blown me away, ladies you have your work set out for you when a guy can do this kind of post, fantastic look and passing the baton to Lucy Kenin the relay is sure heating up.

Toy Story
I think I am doing a relay with myself in this post. So I was with Newdoll in Voice and then Whimsy got online, so it ended up one of those crazy grid hops. While Newdoll was in my ear asking about one place, I was spluttering at Whimsy about her not having enough from another.
I didn’t make it out without picking up some fun stuff myself, the trip to Canimal let me get the bra to one of my favourite corsets the Lust Corset, it is actually hiding underneath in pink and funnily enough the red version is what Newdoll was wearing under her shirt last night too – ooo maybe I stole her baton lol.
The adorkable Tshirts are also from Canimal and are a pack of five Streetwear Little Miss Tshirts in Canimal Style with more funna Little Miss’s. Atop my head is one of the New Piggy‘s from Pink Fuel , these I got yesterday and they are as adorable as the deer, so you must get them too.
Doing some light reading with the Crone book of Shadows from Dark Eden, part of the collection of Magical bits that were a recent release. After we left Canimal we hightailed it over to MNK Newdoll had been recently and wanted me to see the latest, I am never to familiar with names of some stores until I land, and both Whimsy and I are sure we have been in the past, there are so many wonderful items there.
The Tweed Short Pants come with medium length and short versions, and I just had to have in all colours, tweed is just fabulous and these will make great mix and match items.
The hair is Messy by LeLutka which is closed at the moment, but big things are brewing over there, it is going to be an amazing re-opening I can just feel it.
Another item I just couldn’t resist from MNK – and do not do what I did and buy just the one, because the pack is a steal – I was laughing so hard at those two in IM that I wasn’t paying attention, which is always dangerous when shopping. This is the SugarCake outfit in brown, and OMG how cute is that baloon skirt.
I am such a teen/young adult of the 80’s so fashion like this is love, I don’t care what you say, if you are in your mid to late 30’s and were trying to pretend you were 18+ in the mid 80’s you will know what I am talking about, there was fashion, fantastic fashion actually, there was just too much teeny bopper stuff in music clips at the time too that overpowered.
Ok rant aside :P. The Sugar Cake set has this incredible layered balloon skirt that to me and as the name suggests looks just like cake, I mean HELLLLOOOO could that be more funna?, this is the only time when cake goes to your hips that you can be happy. Ok the short upper portion perhaps isnt designed to wear solo, because the glitch pants are mid length, but throw on a pair of shorties or not 😛 and you have a mini balloon skirt, the skirt is made of solid prims so you can totally get away with that no worries.
As you can see you get two style tops in the set, and again grab the pack of two colours because the difference is like 50L so well worth it.
The Bangle set is from Dark Mouse and is the Lotus Flower and Bamboo bangles , these are just lovely work, I did however have to tint the inside faces of the prims as they were red and with those poses it was a bit in your face, but in a good way trust me. The Hair I have on is the Lisa style again from LeLutka as is all the hair today, I really love the long styles over there, and as you know I am a huge fan of the textures as they are shared with Maitreya, so the ability to grab your favs from both stores is rocking my world.
You want to know where my skin is from don’t you ? I can hear you getting crabby at me from here lol, well I aint telling until I tell :P.
I should tell now though, because you will think I am going to tell at the end, and then you will scroll ha ha ha tricked you. The beautiful New Infinity Brand of Skins are all created by Annyka Bekkers of Blowpop. In November of last year Annyka sent some people some Beta test bases for her new skins, we were asked for input and I had my comments, bet you can guess what one of them was :P.
Annyka made some changes and sent again a few weeks later, and then we only heard the occasional peep as she worked very hard to release these all hand drawn skins, but not just one skin but I do believe there are 4 , the reason I am not certain is that I have three but saw a flickr pic of hers with four, anyway regardless in the weeks to come there is going to be the Newly Rebranded Infinity Line of Luscious Skins by Annyka Bekkers.
This first one I am showing today is Ava in the Pure Honey tone, the make ups are look 1,2,3 and 4 not in that order lol but you will see when you DEMO DEMO DEMO.
The tone is just lovely and that right blend in around sunkissed. The collarbone as you can see if gorgeous and the shading all up and down the body is remarkable.
The face is beautiful, especially that nose and mouth, I think the face is just charming and the other skins in the line are equally so, you will see them soon I promise. One thing I didn’t grab a pic of and I should have, is that the skins all have a hair base, and no for once I am not talking down there, but actually on the skull, yep no more of the men only getting that option, allowing for a hair base for unrezzed sculpties, or the comfort of deprimming at lag filled events, you get both with and without hair options, so make sure you check out the demos of those as soon as they are released.
The tank top tshirt I have on is from LaLa FooFoo and is so pretty in that shade of pink, with lots of layer options of both tucked and untucked. The pants are another Must Have from MNK , they are the Stripe Pants Set and come in various colours, but you get all three options in the one pack YUMMMY, I can’t pick a fav pair in the three because they all rock.
The Hair is Venera by LeLutka and this style and Lisa are two of my favs from their range, being that dried by the sun kind of look. The Tortoiseshell Bangle and Soft Pink Hair Rose are by Essentia.
Ok so both Newdoll and Whimsy headed off, and I went solo for a bit, ok a lot…I ended up doing a quick scan of the feed and came across Chic’s Blog – I always smile when I open her blog, because seeing someone name their blog after one of your rant/thunks is pretty awesometastic in my opinion. Anyway she was posting on the Twisted hunt and I hadn’t had a chance to check it out yet, but what caught my eye was more the name of a store not the items only.
So off I tp’d to Dilly Dolls and was happy to see they are having a 70% off Sale at the moment, so while I was there not only did I grab some bargains and help a girl win on a lucky chair, but picked up this fabulous set called Darkened Mad Hatter, seriously this store has some serious Alice in Wonderland themes going on , but this set with or without the hat to me was screaming to be had.
This set is gorgeous and very very swanky indeed, I think this is a must have for both sexes especially at the sale price. The shirt portion is so obviously hand drawn and is so cute, all of it is, you do get shoes with the set but I couldn’t resist posting in the New Marie Jeannes from Insolence.
These gorgeous patent shoes come in a variety of shiny colours, the pink are just so pretty and the camel and beige are lots of fun with my brownzilla love. I totally can see these getting lots of wear and tear this coming season and they look so delish with socks its not even funny.
The hair is Peta by LeLutka and is a great bun style for a more conservative approach.
