There be Dragons
I was having a ball running around the grid today with Mel and Whimsy. Mel decided to embarass me in open chat because he kind of forgot that there were people under us, lol. Now I am standing in a cave with two fabulous women as they discuss the new breedable Dragons that just opened Beta at Precious Dragons – I wonder if they eat bunnies?
So I went running around Shoe Fair again today, and could not resist the new Shiny Things shoes….especially in the black and white. I wanted to show that they are so versatile, not only in a funky and fun look on the left, but also the more sedate look on the right.
Another place I had to drag Whimsy to today, was The Body Politik as it is soon closing down for an exciting new rebrand, but with that going on, all of the items are on sale at fabulous prices. One of the awesome items I got last week when I was there is this incredible oversized hat, the suede hat is a must have, and fit beautifully over my new hair by KIN which is next door. If you go to TBP sim you need to check out all of the little stores of the build, because there are different departments all over the place.
Don’t forget that many of the items for sale at Shoe Fair are donating proceeds to Charity, so well worth a visit for that reason alone.

Hey Jean
Enough looks for a week. I have been doing some other things with Whimsy all week and it has been exciting. But really wanted to take the time to put together a whole lot of different looks featuring one or two items all the way through.
In the first pic I am featuring hair from Magika, her latest releases are just stunning, Sabina has totally nailed Sculpted hair and I am so looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us in the future. I also would love to see more of the wavey styles such as Kelly on the right, that style is super sexy, and those waves are perfect.
The latest shoes from Orange Creations are really pretty, with their strappyness and really nice colours. I especially like the option to change the straps to brown or black, and played on that throughout the post. The presets for skin are very helpful as well as nails and size options, the HUD works really well, I did have to move mine though as it took off my VR Studio HUD and that just won’t do.
When I last went to BP* I just about threw myself at the wall to get the adorable cropped denim jacket, it is so cute, makes you feel all little and stuff. Not only was it perfect to wear with the Jeans version of the Melanie shoes, but the Jules skirt by Maitreya matched in denim so well I was stoked.
I also wanted to wear the jeans texture with something a little dressier, so the vintage dress from Niavi was perfect, I hope Zoe is making lots more clothing, her style is fabulous, and her talent can only get better. This dress is simple and yet perfect for date night.
Whimsy and I went exploring the other day, and I came across Mikan. I haven’t to my knowledge been there before, and the hair is just gorgeous, especially the one in the middle which I couldn’t get enough of, the texture the curls, it has that straight from the surf dried by the sun look about it I love.
All three wonderful styles are from there, and the one on the left which is incredibly striking was only 1L and a gift hair on the floor near the lucky chairs. The latest releases from Fri.day remind me of Canimal and her trip to the UK, when she came back she did a huge punk themed release, and this one totally reminds me of the mod girls of the 80’s.
The pic in the middle should have a blouse but I couldn’t resist the without it look, but still keeping the collar and tie, and how awesome does the Byzantine Cross necklace look poking through the tie, I look like a Catholic Girls Gone wild promoter. The reverie dress has so many options, you get the shirts on their own to wear as shirts, you get the inbuilt shirt with top of dress look for that uniform look, and you get the dress on its own, and it is HOT HOT HOT. The simplicity of it is what makes it so sexy.
Now onto the white Melanies, this is where I ended up stopping only because once I got the middle look; I refused to change from it lol. On the left though we have the Tease dress by Luck Inc, and you only get a tease, because no way will you see the front. It is definitely an exposing dress, I can wish that CK had done a more modest version, but pfft not likely. But I do get to save it for private time :P.
The jumper on the right is a delightful casual look for those that love the Luck Inc style, It is modest enough, but the back cut out still keeps it all sexy, and it is something that can be worn at anytime. Even the sexier stores have to give their customers something to sit on a couch and cuddle in watching tv, cannot always be looking like you cannot wait to tp to the next party.
The middle look is what I will spend the rest of the day in, even though the jeans are cheek flashers, the tank dress totally covers that, and makes the whole look a touch more stylish especially with the new Lucid belt from Fri.day. I love mid torso belts, and this thin one is aces.
The skin I am wearing throughout the post is the latest Elle skin from Belleza. There are twenty make ups on this skin, with hair base and cleavage options. I think that Elle has a style to the face that means you can be playful and youthful, or classy and mature, which is exactly what one wants in a skin line, especially if you do like to play around with lots of looks, but prefer one skin.
Make sure you try all the demos, and if you haven’t done Belleza before try them all not just Elle, because you never know, an older skin may be more to your liking.
I am wearing the latest nails from Exodi, in the silver, which gives you options of embelishments such as glitter, you can buy them as singles ( I couldn’t find a pack ) for only 100L they have three sizes and are MOD MOD MOD so yay for real fitting capabilities.
Have a great weekend…

blog – Chains
So the other day while chatting to a friend, I was discussing the old and still one of mine and many others favourite blogs. Style Disorder!. If you don’t know about this blog, it’s ok I forgive you, and blame Willow 😛 for having it on lock down.
But – tee hee’s behind my hand – I was able to find a back door…yes, Imagine my glee when I found an old post that still went to the blog, and then allowed me to get to the main. I was OMG OMG OMG’ing all up in Emma’s box, and her and I spent the next half an hour or more flicking through the archives – yes when it’s this much fun you can virtual flick.
We found a lot of old Sand Shack Surf posts, and wow it was amazing going back through it and seeing such familiar things, things I myself blogged around the same time on Appearance Mode, or ones I ran out and bought due to them being on Style Disorder. There is of course the famous MilkShake post, and so many sales I went to.
I found Old Gravy due to that blog, and I got to see a different part of the ladies that ran it, it was awesome. One really awesome thing was all the SODA skin posts, seeing as I have been blogging them all week it was definitely my bloggers fate I reckon.
Then Emma showed me an ad and we both ended up deciding we really liked the jacket, so when we did more looking were both surprised to find out that it was in fact a Jacket made by HeatherDawn the owner of Second Style Magazine. Now somehow along the way I have totally missed the fact that she designs, and doesn’t just design HAND DRAWS her items.
Emma and I were excited to find that she still in fact has a store, and we trotted right on over. I crashed, and then came back and snapped up two of the jackets as Must Haves. There is not much there to be honest, and I so wish there was, Emma even exclaimed that had she kept creating – The Jacket is from a post in 2007 and still under the New banner in the store lol – that she would be an amazing store today.
Can someone over at Second Style do their duty and PUSHHHHHHHHHHHH that woman towards her photoshop please. I also ended up spamming a group with the Style Disorder link lol, and it was so funny because the first post someone wanted that item too, and off they went shopping. So the moral to the story is DO NOT LOCK AWAY YOUR ARCHIVES . people can still find something well and truly to love, because as I alwayyyyyys say ” Everything Old is New to someone” .
The other day I got an IM from the lovely Sofia, New hair at Zero Style, she tp’d me over a little while later and due to delightful demos, I changed colour choices for the newness. Seriously you can make so much more money from hair addicts if you use awesome colours, and variety in your demos.
Same thing happened for me at Clawtooth, changed colours due to gorgeous demo and just couldn’t resist the hat and netting, I mean they are so adorable, even if a little on the minnie mouse side of cute.
Giving a little reshowing of the Nadia heels, even Mel said they were sexy last night…mind you as written previously he is already a fan of her work. They do have only one attachment point, so you can wear with prim cuffs or ankle jewelry if you need that space. Always handy with shoes to only be one.

blog – Bitter
The name July came about not originally as the name of the month at all, but in fact it was named that after Julius Caesar. Even though we are well past July now, these skins carry the name, and do so well.
They are lovely skins as usual from the PXL line, and with the brand new build, and all of Harts other endeavors going on at the moment, it is amazing they got released at all. But they did, and just in time for Vanity Skin fair, that will be ending this weekend. There are lots of brow options for this skin, freckles and wonderful tones from light to dark..I actually left one tone out, because at the time I did think it was the tone I took the main pic in, my bad, but they are all there at the store.
I logged into SL yesterday with one mission, to get me to Lamb as fast as I could. The new Whoop De Doo hair is all win for me, and I am hoping that Lamb will do more of these bangs on her regular styles, Say with a Widows Peak would make me happier than Happy.
For now I am just over the moon with this style, and it fits my mood so well right now. A new release from Miseria this week, has me in the Bitter Jeans as well as the Ash cardigan..also from Miseria, I love the jeans, they have that worn in look, with a low slung hips finish, and the cardigans are twinset look adorable. A college student look for me; with even the HOC Glasses to add a touch of authenticity to my look. Jewelry by Essentia to wrap up the look, and away we go.

Beetlebones Beetlebones Beetlebones
Ashia and I went on a shopping spree earlier this evening, and went to somewhere I had been telling her that we had to the last few days, when Ashia was tping to another location, I spotted a SALE sign.
Jumping over from one store to another, I found that Beetlebones was having a 50% off everything Sale until the 24th, which worked out perfectly because I was able to incorporate those buys, with the wondeful hair that is also on SALE at Tiny Bird, yes Tiny Bird and Long Awkward Poses are having a 50% off SALE to celebrate their One Year anniversary of Festivale, congrats to them both and everyone else that is on that sim 🙂 it’s a lovely place to spend time.
Beetlebones collection varies from dressy to casual, and the prices at the moment are crazy, but even if you don’t make it to the SALE the full prices are really well priced anyway.
The other week I was hanging with Justice, and she was showing me her new ankle boots from G Field, as soon as I saw them I knew I must have… they are like Maryjanes that have extras, they have the straps of a shoe, with the added benefits of a boot, with texture changes on the buckles in various metals. There are small packs as well as a fat pack greatly priced, and at the moment there are two versions in pumpkin orange that have been reduced to only 30L so you should make sure and grab those too.
I felt like wearing an older skin today, and my go to was the beautiful Poppy skin from La Sylphide, just because when I think Tiny Bird and LAP it’s not a far leap to Stephanie Misfit, plus I really love how her skins look for any occasion.

Studded
J’s has released NEW and Sexy Studded Wedges. Black and white being the theme of the shoot, well with ten colour options on these stunning shoes, it was easy and painless. The Newish hud for the shoes, have preset skin tones, with darker lighter options, making it much easier to change, also with the signature toenail and toering options.
The wrapped around ankle straps are wide but totally soft looking, I love the idea of that, soft leather being worked and cobbled into the beautiful wooden wedge. The outfit I am wearing in the first pic is from Addict , a store owned by the talented and really lovely Kianna Noel . The PYT Tunic has a sensational 80’s vibe belt, with the press stud buttons at the back.
I used to have a corset elasticated belt very similar back in the day, and the annoying part was smarty pants people thinking unsnapping them all at once was funny, it wasn’t because after hours of wear you felt like you just lost part of your body lol. Thankfully in SL that is not possible, and the big bow is just accentuating the small waist the tight belt alludes too. The Tunics come in a rainbow of colour options, and the leggings are also part of the set, which is way handy, can never have too many of those.
I love how deep these are cut at the front, but not even close to how much I love the plunge at the back lol. The next outfit is the Kare Shirts set from Bare Rose, just as sexy and very evocative of nights late in someone elses office. As usual you get lots of options, the ties and shirts come in many colours, and the prim detailing is just awesome, they come with adorable little shorts, but would look fabulous with a tight skirt or even longer pants.
The two styles of hair I am wearing are newish to Junwave, both really lovely uppydo’s that I couldn’t pass up in both bangs choices, the price on both seperately is less than one wig usually costs, so it was a no brainer. Also the rectangle glasses from HOC a steal at the price and colour change on click, they are fabulous frames too and sculpted, so no alpha tricks.
The skin I am wearing today is from Dutch Touch, it is Dune and just delicious, the whole skin has been reworked for this release except for the feet and hands, the mouth is bow shaped and just too kissable, I could see developing a really bad habit of sucking on your bottom lip if these were yours rl. The eyebrows are an incredible selling point for this skin, the thick brow adds a very distinct touch to the face, and apparently by request that has been changed to give a thinner option , but in my opinion wearing them as intended is what makes them so striking.
Iki has been working her way through different stages of process with her skins, and each release has been individual , and these ones are just really stunning, check them out as soon as you can, the make ups are just lovely, I am really glad Iki added more colour to her lips in this one.
