Grenade

Showing off a few goodies from this week's GFW! I love sales. I know you do, too!

Grenade

Don't even get me started on how much I'm digging this sweater from Hollipocket. It's a must have. It comes with two different colours in each pack. There are also two neck options. It's my favourite item this week! I paired it up with the beautiful high-waist skirt from The Secret Store. I am planning to go back and buy the fat pack of these skirts. They're so well made.

For my second outfit, I wore these brown/blue jeans. They're pretty neat. They've got a cowboy feel to them so I thought I'd play that up. I paired it with another GFW item - a necklace from LOULOU.

The tattoo that's worn in both pics is from Tenjin. This tattoo place is a store that's only recently come onto my radar and I haven't been disappointed with any of the latest releases. This particular tattoo is on the upper stomach and chest and covers a bit of the shoulder blade too.

OMG!!!! I recently came across this fabulous new (to me) hair stored called "Sugarsmack". The blonde highlighted tones and really awesome hairstyles drew me in. I loved literally everything!!! I am only showing one style today, but I plan and featuring some more styles from there ASAP. If you've never heard of Sugarsmack then head on down and try out a few demos.

P.s. Izzie's has just come out with a brand new pose set designed specifically for pencil skirts. Any woman out there who blogs or just takes a lot of pics needs this pack. These are such a great investment. You'll find yourself using them again and again. I've only had them for a day and I've already managed to use them. I'm sure they'll come in handy in the future as well.

I'm also wearing the brand new skin from MONS! It's called Nil and I'm wearing it in the tan tone. It comes with different brow and cleavage options.

Perfect Love. Perfect Trust.

The Craft Four

So my friends and I were chit-chatting about Halloween. Talking about costumes we were going to wear and what movies we wanted to watch. Someone brought up "The Craft", and we all started gushing about how we loved that movie. Gushing turned into dressing up and dressing up led to some pictures.

The Craft One

We were able to find this great little circle prop from the Marketplace. I already had a birdcage and someone had a fishbowl. We had our circle ready to go!

The Craft Three

Gotta love that movie. It's one of the only witch themed movies that really sticks out in my mind. I still remember trying to play "stiff as a board, light as a feather" with my friends.

It's all in the group

It's all in the group2
Jutapose - Brrrrr.... 2 (GFW)

I'm totally a sucker for group gifts and why not... they're a fantastic little treat from your favourite creators that you didn't have to pay for! Claps hands and does a little jig! I love when I log in and there are notices from my favourite groups letting me know there are some new group gifts.

It's all in the group
Poses inworld from Sweet Bites - Carving Pumpkins (GFW)

I'm wearing two new group gifts from C'est Moi! I'm lovin' both of them. Although I have to say I haven't been able to take off this little white dress. It comes with a scarf and belt. It's basically a complete outfit! But, I topped it off with one of those awesome cardis from Izzie's.

It's a reasonable one time fee to join most groups. There are more than a few groups on my list that I paid to join. I'd do it again, too! I definitely recommend joining groups (even if there is a fee) because it's worth it in the long run.

Leaves are slowly falling

In the Yard

I've finally gotten Kaelyn Alecto to be a guest on my blog. We were both ubber excited when we saw the new release from Shag - Falling Slowly. We were gushing about the style and the length and the texturing. We loved it so much we decided to wear it for this post.

In the Yard2

If I haven't said it before I love Autumn. It's my favourite season. I love watching the leaves change colour and the weather getting chilly. When you live in a city you really begin to miss fall colours. I notice that on the feeds more and more people are starting to bring out the fall colours. I find myself doing the same thing. I just can't help it ;)

In the yard K

I really liked Kae's outfit. She wore this very drapey top and jean duo from Connors. It's perfect for this season.

In the yard T

Look at those SHOES! I mean c'mon... they're awesome. They're from a new (to me) store called "Leverocci". I had never been there until my friend told me I should check it out. Boy, was she right! I loved everything. I'll be heading back for more!!! Also, equally loving this new jacket from mon tissu.

The Sleepover

When you need a little girl time you get together with your closest. That's what I decided to do with Kaelyn and Izzie. We had seen the new release from Severed Garden and thought it'd be cute to get matching pjs. Our get together turned into a sleep over!

The Sleepover part 1

We even ended up wearing the brand new Mamboo Chic skin - Megan!

The Sleepover part 2

We were relaxing, gossiping and catching up.
Then in true sleep over fashion we started jumping on the bed.

The Sleepover part 3

Then it turned into a pillow fight. Izzie started it! ;)

Pillow Fight 2

We had just settled down again when we go the shock of a lifetime...

Pillow Fight 3

Bouncer Criss male fashion blogger and friend decided to crash our party. I guess he'd heard our laughter and though it'd be funny to prank us!!!

Pillow Fight 4

So, we kicked his ass! lol I'm sure he loved every minute of it!

The Sleepover part 6

When the feather had settled we all got together for a little group pose.

The sleepover part 7

Until next time ;)

Polar Opposites

What I really enjoy about Grenade Free Wednesday shopping at the Jersey Shore is that you can find something for everyone. I decided to try to make two really different looks. One very posh and one jersey style!

Polar Opposites

I'm showing off only a few of the items available for this week's GFW. For a full link up of what's available - click here. Two skins were out for grabs. I'm wearing them both. They also had a handful of tops, a few dresses, tattoos and some poses. Either way, it's worth a visit to see if something fits your style!

Have you seen the new release from N-core? I'm showing off the new ultra platform shoes and they're smoking. Oh la la. Watch out! Ladies, you should own a pair of these shoes. Of course it comes with a hud so you can change your strap options as well as wear stockings or socks. The HUD is super easy to use so you'll be able to match any skin you wear!

I also like how you can wear the cardi with jeans or even shorts. You might want to pick up a few pairs for yourself!!!

It's all Fall

It's all Fall
Picture taken at Izzie's Mainstore.

I got to spend the afternoon with some of my closest friends in SL. It was pretty nice. I even managed to convince one of them to pose with me for my first official Fall post. I loved the outfit Phedre was wearing, especially the tights. I also spotted some items that I also have. Do you and your friends ever end up buying the same things? It happens a lot with Phe and I. It's not like we even shop together but somehow we manage to buy the same thing and sometimes it's even in the same colour! lol

We've both had our eyes on the new release from CatWa. It was just lucky that we ended up wearing different styles. CatWa has just release 4 new hairstyles. The style I'm wearing has a script to change high-light colours! It's great. Make sure you swing by the main store to try on the demos. Bring your friends! ;)

Mamboo Chic - Meet Megan

MC - Megan Makeup

Mamboo Chic by Leona Olivieri has comes out with a brand new skin called "Megan". Leona has truly outdone herself with this skin. I am so impressed. She should really be proud of it. It's clear that this skin is a true example of her progress since the beginning of her career. There are so many enhancements including better seams and more shadowing/detail around the neck and other areas.

Megan

It comes in 5 different skin tones (Caramel, Ebony, Fair, Honey and Tan). Also there are 8 different lipsticks and 15 makeups in tat layers. You better get into the Mamboo Chic VIP group because Leona is sending out a freebie skin in the fair tone!

Megan Lipsticks

I'm also wearing one of the new styles from Mr. Truth Hawks. It's called Isla and it's a beautiful and soft updo. I really like the folds of the hair and how it tucks in nicely at the back. I picked up the brown pack for myself.

Brand new from CandyDoll are these boyfriend Pjs! The top is a deep v-neck cut with a little bow/knot prim on the side. It comes with brief bottoms that hike up at the back.

The jewellery I'm wearing is new from both creators. They're both must have pieces that can go with any outfits. You'll probably catch me wearing them again.

These little sandals are walking me around

So, I'm a little bit behind on posting. (Side note: when I say a little, I mean a shit-ton). I'm trying to catch up but I've just come back from RL vacation. Please stick with me as I get up to date on all the goodies out on the grid.

ETOILE

My favourite release of last month was these amazing sandals from N-Core. Talk about hitting it out of the ball park. These sandals come in two versions. These shoes either come with a flower patterned or a solid texture. There are so many different colours to choose from. Because of the other whelming about of options I'm only able to show you a few of the selection. My advice is, that if you like these shoes head over to N-Core to see the selection available. Always remember fat packs are always an acceptable splurge. ;)
