Hanging out @ The Home Expo

This afternoon I got to spend some time at this year's Home Expo before it's open to the public. I was so excited to see the tons and tons of items set out. There is something for everyone. I took a few pictures to show you what to expect.

Tether's End Designs by Ishtar Roussel

The Garden Summer House comes with a whole bunch of accessories which are included with the purchase. This is a RFL item so make sure you pick it up and support the charity. 

Also featured is this super cute hammock with comes with couples poses and single poses. 

Envision Decor & Prefabs by Ray Hoffman

Grace Brick House - fully furniture L$1,000 House only L$250

This house has two bedrooms and an open kitchen/living room. 

There is also a bathroom within the main bedroom. 

Next stop was Park Place Home Decor by DeAnn Dufaux

There were so many awesome items available at this shop. I took a picture of a few of my favourites.

I really liked this set, especially the ottoman. It was stacked with a ton of poses. 

The sofa set came with two side tables and accessories, another great grab from Park Place.

Silent Woods by Lukrezia Laval

The last item I'm showing is a fantastic little set from Silent Woods. I've never heard of Silent Woods prior to the expo but I'm very pleased that I found it. I placed this set in my house and love the details of the accessories. It's great for a small corner that needs a little sprucing up.

More to come from Home Expo 2012 which opens to the public on will open on May 19th at 6am SLT, and remain open 24 hours each day until it closes on May 28th at 10pm SLT.

Fool in Love

I haven't been around a lot, so to actually be able to show off some brand new stuff is a treat for me!!! 

First up is this new dress from Gloxx. This store is quite new on the grid and I think there is a lot of potential. The designer Nanaa Dinzeo is making a whole bunch of mesh items and this dress in particular caught my eye. It's available in a bunch of different colours. 

Location - The Rose Theatre

Pose used Label Motion - Andrea Pose 1 by Anne Dakun

I was flipping through Dasia Admiral blog and saw that she took some great pics at this location. It's truly a beautiful spot so thanks Dasia for sharing it!!!

Also, very happy that CaTwa has a new release called Dolly. This is a pulled back half-up do. It has tiny braids on each side and loads of great colour options.

The purse is a rockin' grab from Ricielli at Culture Shock 2012 (still open 'til the 28th). I will probably head back and pick it up in some more colours.

I am wearing the newest of group gifts from IKON. These eyes are so lovely. They're honestly one of my favourite on the grid. I pretty much wear IKON all the time. There were three gifts available but only for a limited time. Hopefully you were able to grab them, too.

Listen to Rihanna's Fool in Love

Roc Me Out

I've decided to give myself a little challenge (since we all know how good I am at those - rolls eyes). I'm going to do my next couple of posts and name them after Rihanna's "Talk that Talk" album. I'm really into it right now. It's great summer music. I figured if I do this, then every time I listen to it, it'll remind me to blog! lol I don't know if I'm necessarily trying to channel Rihanna into my looks, but I guess that might be fun too.



Anyway, on to the fashion bit... I am in love with all the colours available this season!! I've always been nervous about using too much colour but I'm really going to try harder this season to use more of it. I really love each of these outfits.

I went to visit the next collection at C88 and oh wow! I think I wanted every single item available. But, of course that wasn't possible so I picked up a few things to tide me over. I fell for the new hucci romper. I decided on white (go figure) and paired it up with some beautiful teal pump from MAAI.

Culture Shock 2012

The 2nd annual Culture Shock has begun! This event opened on May 4th and will close on May 26th. It's a great even featuring art, music and tons of exclusive fashion.

Every store has a mandatory participation of one NEW and EXCLUSIVE (for the duration of the event) item that gives 50 - 100% of the profits to the charity. The proceeds from this even are going to Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders). For more information about Culture Shock and the charity it supports please click here.

I decided to pair up with one of my favourite people, Kaelyn Alecto to show off some of Culture Shock's goodies available to you.  

We are both wearing Shag's new releases. I am so excited about both of these designs. They're short and crisp and perfect for spring. We also have on Izzie's new item for CS. It comes in three different versions. 

The shorts I'm wearing are part of an outfit from KIM at CS. The top is really super cute and the shorts are mesh. 

There are tons more items available so make sure you head down to the CHIC sim and help support Doctors without Borders!

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.

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.

Week Three - Electric Indigo

Week three was pretty difficult. I tp-d around trying to find the right outfit. I asked my friends countless times "Does this look indigo to you?". Finally I arrived at Blah. and thank my lucky flippin' stars! I found this great jumpsuit in the colour I needed. I seriously love this outfit. I especially like the fact that it comes with a sock layer so the edge of the pants doesn't cut off abruptly.

P.s. have you seen the new N-core?! Well, I'm wearing them and they're dangerous. I mean... look at the spikes, you could hurt someone ;) I plan to wear them again since they're so neat. I'm loving how N-core took an older style and spiced it up.

The brand new C88 is out! This collection is huge. It now has two rooms and tons more of selection. I picked up this dress and necklace. I think this dress is absolutely stunning. I love the lace top and the fit of the skirt. For only 88L$ you can't go wrong! I also picked up this skin from C88. I love the eyes and the lips on this Illusory skin. The were perfect when paired with the new hair from Truth. This hair is big and beautiful!!!

I've been meaning to blog this first look for a while now. I really loved this round of Collabor88. So many goodies! I think I bought the whole place out. My favourite grabs were this dress, bangles and skin. I haven't been able to take off this Illusory skin. It went perfectly with Sugarsmack's Cole hairstyle. I finished it off with one of two great new releases from Kalnins Fashion - Lizette. I'm really happy to see Kalnins coming out with new stuff. The shoe comes with a great little hud so you're able to change the shoe to fit whatever outfit you want. I hope to show off the other new release, too.

For my second look... I was so pumped to see that Bebe Doll released this brand new sweater dress. I love the designs round the midsection. You know it's just one of those must have winter outfits. I paired it up with the brand new hair from Truth. I'm all about side-styled looks. Like all things Truth, this hair is awesome! I put on this AMAZING skin from PXL called Gaia. I bought it about a month ago. I've been meaning to do a blog post to show it off a bit more, so look back this weekend. ;)

Yikes... it's been a while since I've posted. I've been on a bit of hiatus, and I'm not sure how much I'll be posting. I hope to get back to regular updates but... I can't promise. For now I'll be doing what I can, when I can.

I recently saw these two new hair release from two awesome hair creators. They were what motivated me to post today. Both Shag & Sugarsmack are featuring two style at this year's Vintage Fair.

Equally motivated by N-Core's new release as well. The new shoes are called Jolie and they're super cute with a polka dot flair, they even have a little bow at the top of the toe strap. I sorta have a thing for polka dot shoes... grins.

I hope to do a little more coverage of The Vintage Fair but no promises. Make sure you head down there and check out the goodies. Here's a few bloggers that have done awesome coverage so far: Kaelyn, Bouncer, Paris & Lolitta, Anne, GOGO, Mar & Ree and so mmmmmany more.
