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

Temp's V-day

I was sitting around on Valentine's day about to stuff myself with some delicious chocolate and other ripe treats when my phone rang. It was a number I hadn't seen for a while, but one that I remember all too well. The phone was cold against my ear but my skin flushed at the sound of his voice.

"Temp... it's been a while."

"Yes," I managed to reply. "How is ... wherever you are now?"

He laughed, "I'm home now, actually. Was seeing if you wanted to catch up?"

"On Valentine's day?"

"... really, that's today?" He paused. "Well... shit, it is. What do you say Temp, wanna be my Valentine?"

"I like how you assume I don't have plans." I pretended to be annoyed but as I considered my actual v-day plans I couldn't even manage to continue the guile. I sighed, "But, you're right, I don't have a date."

"Mhm." He chuckled.

"Shutup!"

"I'll be at you place around seven."

"Alright."

I put the phone down and frowned. What was I going to wear??? It's every girl's worst nightmare. An old fling is back in town who invites you out and you don't have anything to wear?

I decided to run down to the latest edition of TDR and pick up a beautiful mesh dress from Ricielli. I paired it with N-core heels which are so versatile, I don't even know why I take them off. I stopped by Shag for the latest hair style and get my face fancied up by the one and only Lara Hurley.

I managed to make it home, shower and get ready before he showed up. I was leaning against my sofa putting on my lipstick when he knocked and walked in. I turned to look at him and memories flooded back. Some good, some bad and some pretty mind-blowing.

He smirked and walked over to give me a kiss hello. "You look great."

"Thanks. You're not looking too bad yourself. How have you been?"

"Fine... good, great. I've been here and there. This is the first time in a while that I've managed to make it home. I couldn't resist calling you. I'm happy you were free."

I winked at him and he took my hand.

We had dinner at one of our old haunts. It's a quant little bistro with great italian food and even better wine. It's one of my favourite places.

We spent hours talking and catching up. It's like we haven't lost anytime at all and we fell back into our old comfortable ways. The night neared midnight and he walked me to my door. He lingered there and I reminded myself it was Valentine's Day. I took his hand and he closed the door behind him.

I'm not one to kiss and tell. But, I do believe in happy endings!

Kim's Newness

So many hunts happening right now! I really love hunts, you get all these amazing "gifts" and all you have to do is look for them. Seems pretty simple and totally worthwhile to me. I wanted to take some time out to point out a few of the goodies Kim has and had hidden. I really like KIM's style. Ton and tons of beautiful hand-drawn clothing. Her pieces are flowery & lacey mixed with a really saucy side. I love it all.

Temp's Travel Diaries - Thailand

I decided to start off the first leg of my adventures in Thailand - the ultimate hideout for the paradise lover. It's a relaxing place with friendly people, amazing food and the most beautiful beaches in the world. Once you set foot in Thailand you won't want to leave. I managed to make my way into Bangkok but having just escaped the city life I continued onwards to Phuket a gorgeous stretch of beach, hotels and clubs. My ideal hideout.

I was in a local bar with a beer in my hand when I met him. He had the swagger of a traveller and the smooth tipped tongue of a man with confidence and intelligence. I was intrigued and we spent the afternoon and much of the night talking and drinking.

As we walked along the beach, he extended an offer to show me around. Having no travel companion, I decided I'd take him up on the offer. Besides, he was great company and easy on the eyes. ;0

He told me to pack a bag and get ready for the "time of my life." Hmm...

When I met up with him again the following morning we started off on a small journey by boat, and then by foot. I was tired, sweaty and starting to question if it was a good idea to join this stranger as we hiked into the unknown. I was about to turn back when we came into a clearing encompassed by tall cliffs and a small bay. I felt like I had just walked into the movie the "Beach". It was remote and absolutely stunning with blue skies and teal water.

My beautiful stranger grinned and pointed to a villa (of course), "My home".

Whoa....

The next few days turned into week as I laid in the sun and ate fresh seafood. He was fantastic in more ways than one.

It turned out he's an internet millionaire, cashed in on some website that blew up and went vital over night. Since then he's lived quite comfortably in the privacy of his jungle home. I can't blame him. His small paradise was the stuff of dreams.

Finally, it was time to leave my new friend and his perfect slice of paradise. I had places to go and more people to meet. I said goodbye, kissed my friend and took one long look at cove before I hiked down the path and back across the water.

As I boarded my flight I knew that I'd be back. Thailand captured a little piece of me.

Thailand - you have my heart and soul.

xox 'til we meet again.

And, I'm onto the next place!!!!
