That Coat
So with all the buzz about the Oscars, I was planning a post based on looks you can do for them. Formal, Semi Formal, or just downright vintage casual. But then the post took on a mind of it’s own due to the coat I picked up last night while gallivanting around with Whimsy.
She looks so pretty in her Oscars look, but we ended up doing one of our sim hopping, this store leads to another, and as I said, it ended up all about the coat. I could go on for days with looks with this one. It is that perfect old suit coat that I love thing happening, and the possibilities with it are endless.
The coat is from Luster, the recently rebranded store, with items by Lo Jacobs. We had actually gone to Tableau because Nylon had released some newness – yes got some of that too – and I took off across the street and took Whimsy with me, she got all coated up too with a different style, but this one is the icing on the cake so to speak for mix and match brilliance.
We then ended up at Mischief Boy, a new to us Hair Store, so new in fact that I think they were still setting up. The hat hair screamed Benny & Joon to me, and if you are a movie buff you will know exactly what I mean…so I was off and running in that tangent. Then next door to that we found another store so new that their vendors weren’t set for sale yet, but there it was, like a beacon calling to me the Tie Shirt. Off we went to their main and bamm it was mine.
Seriously it is bloggers fate as I call it, as no real effort was made, the items were just everywhere I went, in perfect harmony. I got home and was thinking pants, I did kind of want to do a gaucho kind of look at first, but then I remembered that MichaMi was having a retirement sale on some of her items, so off I hopped and grabbed the black version of the fabulous Stella suit. The half off sale makes everything you don’t have a must…and when the suit was released I tried to behave and not go auto for the black, so yay a bargain – lol MichaMi is a bargain full price, I am just playin.
Running to the middle me, that dress underneath, kind of reminded me of a tux, with the coat over the top, so adding my big mod bow I was a mix and match equivelant…kind of clubby, kind of fun. Speaking of fun, OMG that hair, seriously it’s a treasure of a style…so pretty in fact that it is supposed to be worn with an attachment of butterflies, but I will save those for another day.
The hair I got at the Accessory Fair that is on at the moment. Whimsy and I went a few hours ago, and it was really lovely to spend that time moving in and out of the stores. One bit baffled me though, I looked at Map to realise there were actually two parts to the sim for the fair, but I couldn’t work out how to get to the second without flying over the buildings in the middle – I could have looked it up in search I guess, but I was worried I wouldn’t get back in.
Anyway it was a Jewelry store called SyDS! That I got the Hair in, and lucky for me, we spent so long outside waiting for the gorgeous rings we bought to rez, that the hair finally rezzed inside…no demos that I could see but YUM, what a gamble and the price is wonderful.
The other stunning item I got at the fair were from Ganked, I think we bought everything in there. This is the Pomp set, and it is just so elegant with all the shiny, but also costumey enough to wear in this way, which means it will get worn more often than your regular formal jewelry probably does.
My major excitement earlier in the week was over the hat on the left. Four hats to be exact, from Sascha’s Designs. As soon as I saw them announced I was off and running. The style of them, the textures used totally had me thinking I was going to end up broke by the time I left, but the prices of them will shock you if you are a hat lover, I wont spoil the surprise just get on over there.
Veil style pillbox hats like this one are always a must have, this one being a tad oversized than a traditional pillbox , but that is what makes it even more fabulous. Sascha says she has plans for more of these, and I cannot wait, it will totally sate my hat cravings I have on occasion that just leave me usually depressed. I may just have to save on wearing the others until one of those days, and then I can smile big and happy.
hope you do today, have a good one.

blog – Your Milkshake
With the heat still being a huge factor down here, it is nice to flit about in items that you can feel beachy keen in. Casual, yet in some cases suitable for work – dependent on your job – keeping cool is the main criteria, and seeing as we are still lacking in the air conditioning it is a major thing.
Often though you can find cool breezes come out of nowhere, and the adaptability of your look is important. In Melbourne they are known for all four seasons in one day lol, we Sydney-siders aren’t that tricky. I actually took some of these pics last week, so they are all over the place.
A light cardi is a bonus, and the one that I am wearing is all win. It is actually an older piece from Sand Shack Surf Co. and is at her outlet store, I fell in love with this holey cardigan at first sight, so it is definitely even more of a bonus that the pack is an insane low price.
A BIGGGGÂ release is planned for Sand Shack Surf Co. today, but this is all about the Boardwalkers. The New shoes by Emma that come in either mens or womens – they have resizers built in, but the shoes themselves are MOD so you can make them that perfect fit for you. These Boardwalkers are that perfect balance of flat casual moving into dressy, especially when it comes to menswear.
For the ladies it is totaly all about the Sun, Sea and Sand, and accessories lol. I am loving the bag by Indy & Co. I mean how cool is that, and I was so excited that with all the texture change options I could totally make it work for my outfit. I am all for Citrus love, but a more subdued look had me leaning to the oversized tote, with that mix of weave and leather. Between the both of them you could probably carry a packed lunch and a change of clothes.
I am being oodles of cheeky and getting you all ready for St Patricks day, because I mean it’s what, only a month away… but as it is both Pisces time and St Patricks , the green version of the new Koi shirts by Miseria were a must. The other top that is just too delish is the Draped Sweater from Fri.day…I love the innocent front and the clandestine back, always a favourite look for me and many, as Ashia mentioned in her post.
In all the pics I am wearing a recentish release of skin by Dutch Touch, this is the Sjors skin and the body as usual is lovely. The face is a lot stronger than in past releases, the brows definitely fabulous as she does a fuller brow like no other.
The mouth is where the face changes more than usual, and with the many people I see lately with downturned mouths this would really work well for them. For me it changes my appearance enough that I would feel a need to tweak, and I don’t tweak for skins – I have done three tweaks in the last 2 years, I love seeing how a skin can transform you on its own.
I prefer personally more of an upper lip cleft, but looking at the release done a few days apart of Sjors and Gwen, Gwen would have me covered, having more of a smirky cheeky smile hiding in her lips. That is the great thing about the Dutch Touch skin line and it’s ever expanding line, you will never have to wait too long for something you can love.

blog – Sporty and Spicey
The other day I did a post containing one item from a store I had gunfire speed shopped at in the past, thing was that was only their satelite store – yay for satelites – last night Whimsy and I went to the main, and did some serious hardcore shopping lol.
Not only did we want everything in the store, I think I got most of it…but we were actually really admiring the build itself, also done by the creator behind the brand. Then wandering out into the courtyard, we found satelites of some very familiar brands, and some not so familiar to us ones.
We ran back and forth, from store to store – I ran Whimsy cheated with that double click move to thing she has in her Emerald Viewer – we wove back and forth, even going back to the original more than once…it was one of those really enjoyable shopping experiences.
We returned to The Deck and it seems we made an impact because a lady landed moments later who had been at the place we had just left , which was awesome. I have had such luck with the very 70’s sporty stripe look this week, I got some dresses the other day that were just like ones I had as a kid, and last night I got these so sexy skirts and shorts.
The skirts not only come on pants and underpants layers, but also jacket, YES that means glitchless so that you can wear your own cute spankies or panties. Mind you I don’t think spankies would fit under those skirts. Mixing all the pieces with some new items from LeLutka, in the Subvert the Office Shirt – chuckles because Marni Grut really knows how to name things – I did remove the prim cuffs for these as they were a bit too much for the look.
Some old and new Miseria pieces, I love when Miseria releases newness, I am so girl crushing all up on her vendor pics, seriously I have said it before, she has the CUTEST look. Luckily for me and everyone else, she also has the CUTEST clothing.
Some fab new hair from Magika, that Sabina woman is a demon when it comes to releasing consistently wonderful hair, every other day practically there is a release and she weaves in and out of all sorts of looks and styles, it is great. These two new ones are short bob styles, that can look both cutesy and classy, it depends on what you wear them with.
I was definitely channeling my inner aussie in the top picture, other aussies will know what I mean, and it isn’t just the thongs. I am wearing the Newish Belleza skin Alyson in all of the pics, in all of the tones. Subtle differences in some of them, but from pale to deep tan there is a lovely transition.
Very kissable lips, more cutesie as a face overall for my shape at least. I found it interesting that the skins with more make up looked younger, than the ones without which is often the reverse, but I really liked that you can still find a little smolder in there.
New to me, and the prices show there is some growth happening for J.Tonic. They have a satelite store at My Pinkie Skulls and the hair in that store is only 75L a colour, tping to the main after buying some there, we went to see more and found that they have changed to packs instead of singles now at a different price, so if you like scene hair, grab the deals that can still be found. Mind you the pack price is very reasonable anyway. So either way NEW hair , and maybe for you too a New store to buy out.

blog – Ride your Zebra
Hair can lead to all sorts of lovelies.
True is that when the other day I was captivated by this hair and other goodies at the store. My favourite portion had to be the discount wall, not just because it was in fact a bargain, but because the items there made me happy.Other things that make me happy are system skirts, and it is rare to see one used in it’s full blown state, like this one is. The shading and technique used to pull this off is marvelous, and just the right length and billow for this style to be perfectly wearable with other items. Anya does it again with this dress, that can also be turned into a fun romper when you remove the skirt.
The bargain I got at Fab.pony was actually the leggings, Zebra is so much fun as a print, especially if you like your monochrome bases. I wear a lot of black and white and all the in betweens. I do like to throw in colour splashes, but there is just something so fun about getting a look together with those.
Oo La La’ing all over the Shade Throne accessories on the left. How hot is that bag, I mean woah. I love the stuff that comes out of Undo’s fingertips, she is incredibly talented in an off kilter, not running the same road way. If you like the unusual you really need to check out her sunglasses, they are some of the most daring styles I have ever seen.
Accesorries on the right are some oldies from Dark Mouse, in the zebra print. Also featuring the Sissi short loose pearls, this is such a cute necklace, I have it in the long as well, the ends of the strand feature a silver cross, that has a rosary like look to it.
All rebels wear the rosary right? it sure as hell worked for Madonna way back in the day lol. The rebel I am referring to is not just me, but the style of make up I am wearing in the Brooke skin from 5th & Oxford. Stunning and dramatic eye make up, with shades of lippy perfect for a night on the town.
The whole title Rebel is so dreamy. It always makes me think James Dean, or for that matter the 70’s 80’s equivelant Matt Dillon…he so was, you know it. So when you think of Rebel you think vintage, or at least I do…so the Ingenue flats were a given for this look, dancing till dawn in 6″ heels can sometimes take it’s toll, so you need some beautiful flats to tear around in the next day… and Betty Doyle now making shoes is going to be exciting to watch.

Something Old, something New, something borrowed – but I’m keeping them – Something blue. Ok, ok nothing is borrowed, but then I wouldn’t have gotten to do the whole saying. The something old is the Sexy Sexy dress I am wearing in the first pic.
The something New would be the skins and the clothes in the rest of the pics, and the something blue, which is also new would be the store I got that smokin 3 in 1 silk dress from, but also my favourite make up, and my new earrings that are just DELICIOUS!.
I have to admit that until Athena Loring came into my life – Miseria owner- I had never really been all loopy over cuteness faces before. But have you seen her vendor ads? she is too adorable and sometimes even two times – her cami ad kills me. So a while back I went to the then Vive 9 clearance Sale, and got me some skin lovin.
Now tomorrow, or technically today there is going to be a revealing of the New skin line Marianna which I am showing here now. It will be released later today in a brand new Vive9 store , so exciting I am sure for the creators behind the brand.
The make ups on Marianna are just glorious, not only the fun names, but the incredible depth of shadow and lipstick that comes with them. Now of course there isn’t just incredible make up, there are also the different versions you get with each one. First off dark and light brows. Then of course Freckles, which then brings us to the teeth.
TEETH on skins ? we all know we have them inside of our mouths, but these ones are actually done on the lip itself to give the illusion of a partially opened mouth. Very cool effect if you have the right shape for it, front on I can get away with it, but side on due to the fullness of my lips, I cannot. But it is a marvelous feature for fun pic taking, and really setting up an ideal shot.
The other feature I would have to say is the body, just gorgeous, and the back and bum most of all. So much so that Licentious had to come out of hiding. When a skin maker makes you a bum this good, the least you can do is wear next to nothing, and this dress is that hands down.
The next two outfits are just perfect for my vintage and pinstripe love. The Ratpack collection from Chantkare is a delight, especially the first set, that dress is gorgeous, my only dismay comes from the fact that the upper portion is all on one layer. I can live with it, but I would so love the grey dress to be separate from the white blouse, to allow for more mixing and matching. But a perfect pencil dress, and the bum shading is wonderful.
Chantkare has a whole store of fabulous creations, and totally a must to shop at for high end fashion. I really like the tailored looks I have seen being released from there lately. With the different colours in this look, you can totally appreciate shoes like the Digna boots from Kalnins,with the ability to change textures with the hud, you can coordinate your look pulling it all together. These boots are so cool, with the double strap wrap look, that really do go so well with the whole ensemble.
I was checking out a store for What’s New SL tonight, and came across all sorts of delights, the first being the stocking pack that is a BARGAIN, actually the whole store is. Second was the gorgeous Silk Mini , that is actually three dresses in one, three different upper portions in the most beautiful texture. How sexy is that back in one of the versions.
Wearing the incredible Gladiator Boots from Anexx and the wavy hair from Magika, I was feeling all in charge and fabulous. I am loving the latest release from Essentia, the Deluge earrings are so beautiful with their opalesque texture and unique design, I love big earrings for the win.
I am so glad that Fiachra is back and making Jewelry, also back and making Jewelry is Wednesday Soon of Woo’s , her oversized beads are too much fun, texture change for more versatility and just lovely.
Showing the tones available in the upcoming skins, I am wearing the lovely ribbed lingerie – for your pleasure – by Dutch Touch.

I just wanna do you, do you…underneath the moonlight. Yes for those of you that watch Modern Family, I just watched that episode lol.
The other day I had the pleasure of spending a few moments with Anessa Stine, the multitasking demon. I was visiting the NEW offices of TOO SEXY an upcoming Magazine that will be launched in late Jan for Valentines Day. I am actually very excited about that, as I will be writing for the magazine, not something that I had planned to do, I was just being nosey…but it all just fell together. For me who has always worked full time for others – now I freelance which has been very satisfying – I had never put myself in for things like that, due to never knowing when I would have to TP with no notice to help customers etc.
So anyway stay tuned for more of that, the team is so exciting. While I was there I complimented her on her pants, I try very hard not to inspect when it’s friends, as I have said before…I just ask. They were from DCNY which is another business that Anessa is part of, and last night I was honored to have some of the DCNY goodies dropped on me. Which was kind of lucky, as I didn’t realise they were part of a set, and I would have been all over the store looking for pants.
I really like the old style of this set, it has that 1920 paperboy thing going on, or you can totally imagine it on a new immigrant with battered cardboard suitcase in hand as he looked up at the then huge buildings of New York. Yeah I know it is just how my brain is wired :P. But even though it has a very masculine style, it is very feminine wearing it. Plus what’s not to love when it comes with hat hair, the fedora with built in hair in many colours is included.
Donning another hat/hair style from Iren, this time adding a gorgeous Knit Scarf from Aoharu I toned down the look a little, and can see this shirt and those pants rearing often. Once established in the big city, taking on the Glitz and Glamour of the flashing lights and dancing until dawn, the Gloria dress is splendid for swiveling and shaking your tail feather, or in this case, your hip and front feathers as well.
I am today wearing Alice, another of the SODA skins, seriously if I was a make up company, this would be the style face I would want to show it, especially the lipsticks, wow those lips. Again the range of make ups is lovely, and for those in need of some lush red lips with smokey eyes, you need to give Alice a whirl. I am wearing Tuesday hair from Magika, but funnily enough she released a hairstyle called Alice yesterday too, with and without bangs, so you totally need to check that out.

A girl in in group chat said something along the lines of ‘ I don’t think plaid can be fashion’, I definitely disagreed and the conversation steered elsewhere for a while. Plaid and tartan consistently over my years being alive, have come and gone, when I was a toddler it was all red tartan, from skirts to peter pan collars, to the lining on trenchcoats. I am not just talking me, even though I did love my little red plaid skirt.
Mid to late 70’s again it reared up and was in more muted tones this time, plaid and tartan prints on greys and navy’s. Dress pants and mid length skirts, definitely crossing over into an older and more mature dressed look. Back and forth it goes, again rising up mid 80’s with the Punk/Rude looks with black bomber jackets , shaved heads and red plaid pants or skirts. Both the men and the women this time.
I wore blue tartan all through highschool, and in Australia where we wear uniforms, plaid and tartan is everywhere in our school system.
I had plaid/tartan stockings in the 90’s, and the burberry look came back in full swing in the end of the 90’s and begining of the naughties. Suddenly there was Burberry and Plaid, with mixes of different tartans all over the place, from luggage to purses – loves my Burberry purse – to scarfs , hats, and clothing. My purse is real, my scarfs are just regular but so adorable in baby pinks and blues.
Even this time of the year is Tartan filled, from ribbons and decorations, to traditional clothing that brings Christmas and well wishes to all, it is not just Fashion it is the return of an old friend. Whether you wear vintage or new, plaid and tartan will always be what you want it to be…a hint of it, or a full covering, it takes a definite flair to carry it off well. Don’t go overboard of course, but “Own it ” if you are going to bother.
I was cleaning up some folders and came across some items I hadn’t blogged until today, the hat/hair dreads are just wicked cool, I love not only the cowboy hat with the skully of doom lol, but the dreads give it a whole different dimension. Also different are these wicked cool boots, the ones with the ring between heel and base of the boot, now of course in RL I would fall over and break a limb in these, but in SL I danced away some hours this morning while Maht was doing his 26 hours for Charity.
Second pair of boots are from the Footwear Expo and they are so cute, they remind me of wellies but with heels, which is kind of a funny thing in my house, everytime my Mum returns from the UK she brings back Wellies, yet we do not have the weather or a farm. Mind you the most recent pair were bright red, so I can’t say I blame her, and these boots remind me of that look, so for winter and snow these are definitely the go, and with the colour change hud, so much fun.

It is such an odd time of year for all the SALES that are going on…for me they will not really hit until after Christmas, because right now there will usually only be the enticing, spend your Christmas money with us, not our competitors…bargains.
One such SALE I went to the other night, had me kind of stunned at how quiet it was, but then again you can only own a whole store once, and so many have been die hard fans for so long, I was actually lucky in the fact that the items that were on sale were ones I didn’t have in all colours.
The Celestial Studios black friday sale, is actually on until the 4th as far as I know, and everything black is only 25L , so it was a bargain to pick up a few things I didn’t already have, and especially as I didn’t have the black version of all three of my favourite pairs of pants from there.
Anyways, moving on, I am showing mainly Beauty Avatar today, but I mixed everything up, to show the versatility of it all. I love mixing and matching, you wouldn’t know it to see me half the time, but that is rollover from constantly changing back to work clothes mid tp lol, it became a habit to not spend time to put together a proper ‘look’ to only be ripped back out of it.
I love the style of the pieces, they do make great backdrops for whole looks, as well as worn as they come. I really like the texture work, the actual style of and in some cases sheen. It isn’t always easy to put together a great fabric with a stylish concept, and these have gone hand in hand with eachother.
The other Beauty Avatar item I am wearing is the Daria skin, this skin is lip smackingly rawr worthy. Soft in all the right places, fit looking but without too much tone to the body shading. I really like the facial features on this skin, as well as the breathtaking lipstick and eyeshadows, but it truly is the high gloss of the lips that makes such an impression.
All the shoes that I am wearing are available at Footwear Expo 2009, there are only a few days left of this annual event, and as a percentage of money from each and every store there goes to help kids this Christmas, it really is worth it to take a look, and maybe pic up some shoes you may have wanted in the past, or something new.
Definitely make time to really explore Beauty Avatar, Whimsy and I helped a girl find a dress there last week or the week before, and you can really lose yourself in all the label has to offer. Take time also to check out the beautiful fountain in the courtyard between areas, it is a trunktacular creation.

Flash Ahaaaaaaa
Flash aaaaaaa, I am not going to call these looks of the day, because honestly I log in and out so much in my own 24 hours, that sometimes two different days occur, and I change a lot during any particular run of time. But often I end up in an outfit I just like and may stay in for a few hours or minutes 😛 it depends.
A few stores at The Deck will be having reduced, free and dollarbie items out this week starting25th to 31st…so Whimsy and I were running around snapping them up. Not all items in the pic are from those stores, but I was having fun changing back and forth that I declared it was time for a Flash post and while I am writing this Whimsy is taking pics of her own.
The skin I have on is actually part of the Sperm hunt, and is actually free at Idiosyncrasy, and is a gorgeous skin and make up, also during the week there are 4 vintage make ups on this skin for only 100L so make sure you grab those between tomorrow and the 1st Nov.
The armwarmers are just delish, and come in packs of three, I really like the addition of the belted straps to them, it’s a nice degree of edgey, and they work in well with the belted Burmuda shorts that are all LOVE LOVE LOVE. The tank is from Miseria, also at the deck they are reduced for the week , so cute and on all layers.
Lol so much for a flash post, Mel turned up and decided he wanted to play too, so I stopped typing and took some pics of him as well 🙂 he is my Brownzilla he actually coined the phrase for me when I met him a long time ago, I sold him lots of suits and he told me I was high maintenance lol, didn’t that become a truth for him lol.
As usual I ended up yacking as much in a mini post as I do in a regular one………………………

Lovely Nyte
I have been really loving the resurge of so many older designers lately. Whether its seasonal returns, or the fact that they have their passion for fashion back, either way I am stoked.
One such designer, who didn’t actually go anywhere, but has been releasing much more often lately is Nyte n Day creator Nyte Caligari, all the clothes I am wearing today are from her recentish releases, and one that I think is older, but I love no less than the others.
The first one is the Mini Dress, that is a stretch ribbed off the shoulder that has so many possibilities for wear, belt it , add layers to it, whichever you like it is a perfect staple. Sometimes it is the simple styles like these that can have such a broad appeal.
The Jewelry is from Bliensen + MaiTai and available at Jewelry Fair, the set has scripted colour change for the beading and metal, and it really is a delightful visit to older times in its craftmanship.
I was also able to match the beads to my eyeshadow, so how cool is that. The skins I am wearing are Lovely II the soon to be released makeups by Gala at Skin/Shape fair that starts in less than 24 hours.
The lips on these have more of a matte finish, but with a definite shine when reflected in a nice light setting. This skin has always to me been very character driven , it will be your shape that defines it for sure. The make ups are deeper , more sultry even though not especially dark, but you definitely want to dig deeper into the person behind the face.
The second Nyte n Day creation is Flamenco , a perfect dancing dress, but without any swishing skirts. This dress is hot, I had to get them all, and over a span of a few hours I think I managed to change into every colour while parading around in front of Mel while we went exploring sims.
I want so badly for Nyte to also make this as a tube option, only the black parts of the dress, so that we can wear anything we want under it. I would LOVE THAT.
Another perfect combo is the Slice set with the Sunday hair from Magika, recently Magika did a hair a day for a week , and this hat/hair style is fab. It’s kind of a sexy modern take on the old paperboy look. Also wearing again the fabulous Long Boots by J’s with the rounded toes.
The last pic is a set that I am not sure if it is old or new, but the Posh set is a definite fav. The colour is gorgeous and the set comes with pants as well as shorts. The style of the top is kind of like a reverse plunge. Was ever so excited too that straight out of the bag my hairwrap that comes with hair was the exact right shade of green.
