While I write this Marni Grut is getting ready for her opening of Royal Blue, a reopening actually, as she has been spending time upping her craft to make a bigger and better brand. Marni just loves it when I get in her IM, it always means extra work lol. Today was no exception but well worth it for all, as the new coats she is releasing now have a with spikes and shoulderpads option, and a without, meaning when you aren’t so GaGa you can do your own thing.
She is doing a blend of both out there and for all occassions wear, which is perfect for those customers who are loyal to a brand/designer. The zipper tank was a pleasant surprise, not only featuring a zipper front, but the low back with zipper is a great look, and very frisky. Marni has also made some wonderful Jeans, that come in great denim colours and have a lovely worn in already look about them, without being too rough around the edges.
I am wearing the film crew tshirts from Fri.day with the jeans on the bottom, these tshirts with their old movies theme are so cute. I especially like the rolled sleeves look at the shoulders, a bit more fun than your regular tshirt, and they also look well worn in. The hair I am wearing is new from Exile in the two two pics, the first being a glorious backcombed side pony, the backcombing giving a stunning beehive look at the crown…very hot for this season. The second a shaggy mane of layers, totally loviong the softness of this hair, its wild and yet not overly so.
The fri.day styles are pretty and as always both elegant and wearable, Raina would make the perfect updo for a formal affair, but can be worn as simple and casual as with todays look. More shoes from the fair, the real toe wrap sandals from J’s are a great wedge style, with built in toes and an easy to use colour system. The regular pallet that J’s uses for his leather has been used again for these, and I personally love the colours that he uses, they seem to fit just about everything.
Another pair from the fair, this time from NCore, are the Seduction shoes, these shoes have so many options that buying a safe base colour still gives you tonnes of possibilities. The laces, and heels have different colour options, so do the soles the inners and the heel tips and rings. With fun prints for the nails and options for gloss or not, which is the equivelant of shiny. they are sexy and definitely well named.

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.

I am asleep standing up in one of the pictures, I swearI got into that pose and just thought hmmm comfy Zzzzzzzzz. LeLutka has changed all their hair textures, and many of you know how much of a chore that is, it is definitely hard work, and coming up with new names for them all can either be a pain, or fun…I vote for fun, I love doing that.
I really like the new colours, new textures, even though I loved so much that they shared with Maitreya in the past, it made me happy..these new ones make me equally so, especially that there is one named Harvard <3.
I took Whimsy to RunoRuno this week, and grabbed things I didn’t already have, such as the top and skirts I am wearing, the skirts come in two length options, three pieces each, fun and just lovely the way it flows off the body. The top, which she calls a stole…is sexy as, and so much so I had to go back with Justice for her to grab some. Very perky looking and easy enough to fit. They also come in a pack of colours and I especially like the white.
This look for me is super casual, but with the addition of a few bits and pieces, you would be dressy in an instance. The pretty flats are actually a group gift from Surf Couture – Sand Shack Surf.
Loving the SODA PinUp skins, the lip lining on these is delish for accentuating them. I have been in this for days, and now I am off to see what the others are doing, because I’ve been trying to work something out for the past few hours and it’s making me mental.

blog – Pants
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.

blog – Your Girl
Gone are the days when the “Girl Next Door” has to be mousey and non-descriptive in looks and style. Now she may, or may not still be a bit of a tomboy… but I like to think that she just marches to her own stylish drums. I was listening to some music in YouTube today, one of my favourite movies of old is The Thing Called Love…such an awesome film.
I wish I knew where the word salopette comes from, because seriously it is such a random sounding word…one which I have never even heard of before SL, but apparently it means overalls. These ones come with two bottom options for the legs, ones rolled up looking and the other is this. I really like this unusual garter type pull and tuck look.
My second look, combining parts of the first, has on the possibly shortest skirt I have ever seen – that is flexi and as detailed as this one – it is tiny tiny short, and I even dragged it a little further down my hips. The bottle cap/badges and chain detailing in the skirt is really fun, it actually reminded me of course of many other items I have that have similar embellishments, allowing me to co-ordinate even more than I did this time.
Okies so I am off to trudge in my boots, aren’t they stomp worthy, the socks come attached and are click to change colour, oh that reminds me, I am aware I am wearing two pairs of socks, but with all of you up there complaining to me all morning about the cold, I felt a little mix of seasons was called for lol.
The Girl Next Door skins by SODA are a softer looking ideal, allowing you to have a light everyday look, but there are lipstick options that allow for nighttime wear as well. My favourite feature is of course the beauty mark under the eye, so pretty, and the full lips and incredible body shading make this a must DEMO DEMO DEMO skin.

blog – Snugs You
Wow did I cap today, I am so glad that we have IM to email and so on..because without it you wouldn’t even know what it is that does cap. Those that don’t have it activated, I honestly don’t know how you survive, it is how I prepare for my day… I would be too scared to log in blindly lol.
So after I sorted through all of that, and did some What’s New SL work I met up with Ashia Tomsen for a natter. We were hanging around, catching up on some stuff I had missed, and then decided to go shopping. I hadn’t been to the Winter Sale at Creators Pavillion yet (yes they spell it with two L’s that’s why I can never find it in search) so we headed over there.
While there I couldn’t help myself but venture quickly over to Switch the sim next door, owned by the same group. I ventured into MNK and it was how I put this look together. Inspired by the tweed shorts, knowing that I could have another fun reason to put on my hat/hair from Maitreya.
Then there was instant and undeniably ooooooooo worthy love. My eyes caught the Knit Sweater hanging on the wall, looking all divine and stuff. It comes in other colour combination’s, but this was the one for me. the two layered look is just bliss, not only the overall structure of the sweaters combo, but the knit pattern as well, I mean this is such a traditional piece, it was like revisiting a long lost friend.
There are two options for wear, same with the shorts. The short version, and the longer with belt version. you can even wear it without the under layer long sleeve black top. The price will make it a must have for you, as do the prices throughout that store.
One thing I have to point out though, due to that awful bug we had a long time ago, where prims didn’t match texture, and tinting grey was the norm…a lot of stuff still has that tint on it, and sometimes the tint was added in ps to accommodate, which means that you cannot match it to texture so easily. For me it was a case of needing to instead tint the pants layers – thank god for mod – in appearance mode, to get the prims to match the texture. This wont be the case for all, as we all see things different, but just to let you know, that is an option if needed.
Revisiting another favourite, in the form of the Persona Pin Up skin by SODA. When these were released it was, and still is, instant appeal. The full lips, the incredible features to the face, and sexy body shading. The options that you get in the pack is awesome also, with each single you get four lips. so if you were to get the fat pack you get over 30 skins, and yes, down there is perfect for whatever and however your clothing is cut lol.
There are others in the series, Pin Up, Model and Girl Next Door…as well as her other skin lines. I cannot wait for a new release that I heard whispers of are coming soon.

Blog – Boyd Loving
Very militarian today, is that a word? Which ended up exactly for me the theme of the night OMG OMG OMG OMG they remade V . You have no idea how excited I am about that, it was my favourite show at it’s time, I have hired the videos so many times and watched them back to back to back.
These two looks would be perfect Visitor looks for that show, and I am so loving both. The Paine Skirt should be renamed to Painless, all I had to do was stretch both sides in edit, and I was done. The pockets on this skirt are adorable, and the shape and texture is stand out quality.
The moment I saw the Tess on a Mission bodysuit I was there, at LeLutka clicking like no tomorrow. The style is something that I have been favouring a lot lately, the shoulders are fabulous and the fit, again perfection. The plunging back lines up well with the high waist of the Paine skirt, so there is definitely some mutual love going on there. I am really loving how well all the small releases from Maitreya are working so well with each other, even going back to some older pieces, they all blend incredibly well.
Another peek at how well the Nishar leggings by Zaara work as seperate options, the thigh high version in socks layer are just wonderful, especially with such arty prints as these. A newish posture collar for me from The Hat Mechanic, now this one comes with the Goggles sets, and is fantastic, BUT BUT BUT chatting with Fade earlier today, I have been told that there may just be a more stylised Posture collar in the works for later this week, as a stand alone item…I am truly excited about that.
Rocking out older items in this post, first off in the way of Olive my gorgeous flapper style hair from Gurl 6 , hands down my fav Gurl 6 hair. I wear it lots and love it more. I have even converted Ashia to it’s brilliance. The other older items are the beautiful SODA skins, I love these skins and both releases had me wearing them all over the place. The faces are beautiful, the make ups wonderful, and with the Persona line you actually get four lipsticks in one , so it’s a bargain and a half. She has enough unique faces there to really get your own look, so if you haven’t been to SODA I suggest DEMO DEMO DEMO all of them.
Bloggers fate again last night, the other day I went to Whippet & Buck and got me some more Boyd love, I adore these pants, they are from the mens side, but that never stops me… Mel looks great in W&B but these pants I cannot get enough of. So I picked up the fabulous Powder colour in the new lighter colours, and lo and behold an almost PERFECT match for the New Coat from LeLutka, I was so excited. Definitely getting my Napoleanna on.
Now if you are wondering where the killer lashes are from, they are Tease lashes from Calla. Yes Calla went and made lashes, and OMG the fitting was even easier than the skirt. The Calla lashes are made differently than any lashes I own and the method is brilliant for fitting in my opinion. A small shift of the top lashes and I was done.
