Cassandra

Cassandra is the brand new skin out from creator Izzie Button of Izzie's. This skin is super special to me in more ways than one and I am so excited to have the chance to show her off. I started this post on a Sunday and finished it on a Monday. It took some time putting together six different looks but I wanted to show off all the beautiful tones Cassandra is available in. It also gave me the opportunity to show some of the new stuff available on the grid.

Cassandra is available in 6 different tones - as seen above. I really can't tell you wish is my favourite tone. I was switching between caramel and sunkissed but I just can't make up my mind.

Izzie has a ton of makeups with this skin. Each tone pack comes with 10 different eyeshadows and 10 lipsticks. It also has the option of a light and dark eyebrow, cleavage and freckles option. On top of the makeup that is included Izzie also released a new set of ten eye liners and lip glosses. They are sold separate as add-ons. Another thing I adorable about Izzie's skin is that they come with a nail base add on so your nails will always blend in better!!!

So much MESH hair - I want it all. I really love wearing mesh hair and the more I wear it the harder it is to go back to non-mesh hair. I think with all the new releases it might be time to clean out my inventory and make room for some new stuff. I am quite the hair hoarder so it's going to be tough getting rid of it.

I am in love with Wasabi Pills. This is the first time I've blogged it - SHOCKED? Yeah, me too. I don't know why I wasn't all over this place before. But, I figure I can make up for missed time. Out of the mesh hair creators, Wasabi Pills is the only one (that I know of) to make hair according to boob size. So all you big breasted women, have no fear this hair will fit over your lovely ta-tas. :)

MAITREYA MESH! 'nough said! O-M-G, I literally wanted all of the new releases but unfortunately my linden budget wouldn't allow for it. So, I settled for these oh so couture leggings with a built in boot and a sexy draped creme sweater.

Blue Jeans

This post was influenced by (1) Lana Del Rey's new music video for "Blues Jeans" & (2) the new mesh jeans at Mon Tissu. For the first picture I wanted to mimic the water blur effect in the video. It didn't come how exactly how I planned but I still liked it.

"Blue Jeans" is my favourite song from Lana Del Rey's album "Born to Die". The whole album is amazing but this song in particular is always on repeat. I've read a few reviews/opinions on the video and a lot of people say it's too dark. Well duh, it's filmed in black n' white. lol. But, I think it suits the song perfectly. If you haven't watch it, you might want to check it out.

A special thanks to my friend Tristan for putting up with me wanting a James Dean stand-in for my pictures. His patience was greatly appreciate especially since I had so many issues taking pics. Thanks buddy!!!!!

Okay... moving on... so the Mon Tissu jeans are PURE LOVE!!! I might have bought the fatpack, and it was worth every penny. :) My only problem with these jeans is that I feel that the space between the thighs is too wide. That didn't stop me from buying them and I'm happy I did cause the quality and design are excellent. Demos are available at the new main store location. The sim looks great. Lots of neat locations to take pictures.

I'm sporting the new release from lamb, which is MESH!!! Yeahhhhh! I have been nutty for mesh lately. I put on another pair of the new KIM platform heels. I love this blue. It just pops against white and I think it worked really well with my outfit.

Peacock

When I saw the release of this new MAAI dress I was pretty excited. Creator Snow Wolfhunter has always done nice designs but now that mesh is included her pieces are at a whole new level. The Andy dress comes in seven different colours and each one has a belt included.

KIM has just released a whole new line of mesh platform heels. They're gorgeous! My favourite was the spring print because it has so many different colours that you can easily match with most outfits. I hope to show off a few more colours soon. Make sure you swing by KIM to look at the colour selection.

I'm crazy over this skin from Illusory. I dragged my friend to the store the other day to help me pick a tone. We decided on the Chai tone because I usually like a warmer, tanned tone. I especially enjoy wearing this skin because of its definition. I like the big, full lips, too.

I named this post after the peacocks in my pictures. It took FOREVER waiting for them to turn a certain way so I could snap my pictures. Friggin' birds! lol

Miss & Miss Project - Round One

Miss & Miss Project is a new discount room where all items are under 100L$. For this month's theme they went with a military style. All the designers have set out awesome pieces. There are tones of items to choose from. Head down there and browse the selection.

I put together a look with a few of the things that caught my eye. I must admit this style is a little out of my comfort zone, but I had fun putting it together.

Head down to Miss & Miss Project soon cause the next round begins April 2th. I've attached a LM to all the stuff that's from MMP. Everything else is not from the project but still worth a look.

Bri's Coquette

I wanted to share some of my new favourite things (p.s. I have many favourite things). One of two newest releases from N-core is the Coquette platform. These shoes are just in time for spring and are packed with new spring colours, too. N-core can do no wrong in my books, so naturally I love these shoes. Head down to the main store to check out the selection. Remember, when in doubt, fat pack!

Another thing I wanted to show off is this beautiful new skin from Izzie's. Izzie Button has always made wonderful clothing. Recently, she told me she had tried her hand at skins before, but never had a passion for it until now. I def think it shows. She's just released three new skins and the latest one is called "Brianna". Bri has been put out in all the basic tones including one red head special edition - which I'm wearing. If you follow my blog -> Vanity Circus you know I usually stick to browns and blondes. I don't generally wear red hair. However, when I put on this redhead edition of the Brianna skin I feel in love. I love the freckles and the eyebrows and the softness of the face. It's so fresh and young, perfect for spring. A little bird told me that Izzie is busy working on more skins, and I can't wait to see what she comes out with next.

Bri's Euphoria

Boots from N-core?!?!?!?! What?!?! I had a mini freak out when I tried on the latest release from N-core. They are perfection in a shoe. I have a feeling they're going to be one of the best boots of 2012. There are so many different options. You can change the socks, the laces, the heel, sole, etc... This is a fatpack MUST! Believe me ;)

Now, let's talk about Izzie and how she's been pumping out new skins. Her latest is called Brianna and I've seen her popping up everywhere on the grid. She's quite beautiful. For this post I wore the pale version. But, I plan on wearing a few other tones very soon.

Galore

"My name is Pussy Galore."

Oh lala. When I saw Shag's new creation couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I love this big hair do. It was out for Project Themeory. Not quite sure if you can still get it on sale but it is available at the main store and I recommend picking it up. Sebastien did some great roots with this hair so it's def a must-have.

I cannot believe all the amazing group gifts creator Eboni Khan of Hucci has put out. I am crazy about the jumpsuit. I especially love the color. So, thanks Eboni!!!!

I am also wearing two layers of ubber fantastic eyeliner from cStar. It's part of their bold eyeliner pack and it's great if you like to play with makeup and what not.

Ladies Night

My friends and I were long overdue for a ladies night. I was so eager to spend time with them that I completely over looked that fact that they wanted to go to karaoke. I despise karaoke.

They managed to drag me onto the stage and I didn't know whether to run, scream of drop dead of stag fright. Needless to say my first attempt bombed. My friends tried a completely different tactic after seeing my utter disgust of singing in public.

While they took turns singing on stage they buttered me up with some booze. By the third or fourth shot of tequila I had the liquid courage I needed.

I sung my little heart out to "You Oughta Know". It's true that singing really helps you battle your emotions. ;)

I had a little smile by the end of my song.

I even sang a duet with Kae. She sounded great, but I'm pretty sure I'm totally tone deaf.

It was a fantastic evening. Thanks ladies!!! xox
