Care to mambo with Sophia?

I am so excited to show you the brand new Sophia from Mamboo Chic by Leona Olivieri. I have come to know Leona very well over the course of the year and I know she is one of the most dedicated and budding artists I've met. I've seen so much improvement since her first skin and I continue to be impressed with her new releases. I know for a fact that Leona has spent many hours perfecting this skin and she should be proud of its outcome.

Sophia comes in six different skin tones - Ebony, Honey, Ivory, Sunkissed, Tan, Tan2

I'd also like to point out that I'm wearing the fabulous new lingerie from Kim by Kimberly Flagon. What I love about this designer is that she's doesn't use templates. All pieces are original and hand drawn. This particular lingerie selection comes with many different options. You can wear different tops that are just black lace or add an extra flare with the leopard print. Kim has tons and tons of beautiful clothes, so make sure you head down there and shop around!

Leona has set out a few different purchase options for her new Sophia skin. You can buy two different fat packs. The first of which includes 1 base tone and 15 makeups. The other option is 1 base tone and lipsticks. You can also just get the base skin at L$850 and buy additional lipsticks/makeups separately.

Here's the makeups:

Sophia will be in the MC store on January 1st. What a wonderful way to bring in the New Year!

A little bird also told me that one Sophia skin will be dropped into the Mamboo Chic group for all those special VIPs. Make sure you join the VIP group now, you won't regret it! ;)

No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

I'm wearing the brand new skin from Akeruka called Kia. She comes in four different tones and has lots of makeup options. I'm only showing three tones in this post, so make sure you head down to the main store to try on demos.

Recently, I was lucky enough to come across a store called "Amorous" by Matchbook Monday. This jewellery is so well crafted and detailed that I couldn't resist showing it off to you. I plan to stalk Matchbook to see what else is in store with new releases. I'm only showing off a few sets today but I've got more on the way.

To show off all this fancy stuff I used poses from WetCat called "The Jewellery" which were perfect for my needs. WetCat has tons and tons of pose packs available. It's a great place to pick up single poses, themed poses or couple poses. Go down there and take a look for yourself.

I was recently walking around the grid with I bumped into dear ol' Santa. He invited me to sit on his lap and tell him if I'd been naughty or nice. Being somewhat naive I agreed simply overjoyed that I'd found Santa. Oh, how poorly I was mistaken...

As I began rattling off my precious Christmas list, I noticed Santa's hand moving down my back. Odd. I didn't remember Santa copping a feel before. As if to confirm my suspicions he wished some very naughty things in my ear.

"Bad Santa!" I scolded, and hurried off before I really got into trouble! Beward innocent shoppers, there is a naught Santa out there. Your buns are not safe! ;)

Special thanks to my favourite naughty Santa this season - Bouncer Criss. To find out the details on his Santa avie check out his blog @ PixelPhasion4Men

I think I Hart you!

I've been meaning to blog this skin for quite some time now. I picked it up and have been wearing it regularly. PXL Creations is owned by Hart Larsson and having recently come across his store I've decided that I'm going to have a love affair with all that is Hart. If you have never been to his store, then you need to swing by and take a look for yourself. Unfortunately my SL budget only allows me to show of Gaia but there are tons of demos and I guarantee you will heart one of them.

3 is the magic number for Hart's awesome skin packs. They come with 3 eyebrow colours (light, medium, dark), 3 eye styles (nude, cat eyes, smokey) and 3 cup sizes (you get the picture). It also comes with a freckles opinion and a tat layer for a whole body freckles. He also sells makeup/lipsticks for each skin so you're able to mix & match and get exactly the look you want.

New to me is a store called Maai owned by Snow Wolfhunter. I've seen a few of her items here and there and have always been interested. When I saw the new release of the Sugar shoe I knew I had to own a pair... or two ;)

Of course, showing of the new release from lamb. I really like the braided bangs. Super cute! I plan to go back for the other new release. Also, wearing a cardi from Emery who can do no wrong in my books!!! I always spend so many lindens when I'm in that store.

Stella Was a Driver

There were tons of great things out this week. I decided to show off my favourites.

First up was this AMAZING new style from Shag called "Stella Was A Driver". It was featured in this week's Project Themeory. But should now be available in all tones at the mainstore. What's great about this style is that it's scripted so you can have earmuffs or not. It's perfect for winter and you know you'll be able to use it again after winter is finished. That's a win-win situation in my books!

When I saw the new boots at MONS I practically flung myself down there. I'm LOVIN' these boots. They are so many different colour options, I didn't know where to begin. I decided to go with a nice neutral tone to go with the new League jacket featured at Zombiepopcorn Dark Magic Winter event. The jacket will be there 'til the 15th and then you'll be able to find it at the mainstore.

Was happy to see Indy has started releasing some winter grabs. I really love the accessories from that store. Needless to say when I saw the new earrings I scooped em up! I paired them with the BRAND NEW dress from The Sea Hole. I cannot even tell you how much I drooled over this dress. I saw the ad and I fell for the rainwater colour. There is just something very captivating about this particular colour. The dress does come in many more shades so make sure you go and take a peek.

It was pure luck that Mstyle released the new "DiDi" shoes right before I started taking pics for this blog. I was able to find a colour that went nicely with the dress.
