Playing Pretty Dress Up

There is tons going on in this post. I don't even know where to begin!!!! I'm featuring new stuff from MONS, CaTwA and Shag. I'm loving all the pieces and I'm so eager to show them off.

I'm really love the new styles from CaTwA. I wore one for my last post and I'm wearing two more for this post. I'm really liking both of these styles, especially Yasmeen. I love the soft side pony curls. Make sure you go try a demo.

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. ;)

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

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.

Hold her breathe while she sits by the window.

Then, she'll wait for her heart to stop caring.

NEW STUFF!! WOOHOO! After too much soju I logged into SL a wee bit hung over. My mood was instantly improved. New stuff from Boom and Shag. Boom's new crochet vest is awesome. It comes in so many different colours. I honestly had the hardest time deciding which colour to get. I think I'm going to need to go back for a few more colours.

Shag's new hair "There She Goes" is fantastic! I really love this style, and it was the perfect fit when I put it on. I didn't even have to resize - what more could I ask for?! This hair is only available at the CHIC Birthday Venue. Make sure you head down there because there are loads of other stuff, too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIC!

I've used this purse from LpD before, but it comes in a few different colours so it's always seems new to me. It comes with a shoulder and a half option. ;) I got my shirt from a gacha machine that I played literally five times. haha I really wanted to get the rare tank, but of course it wasn't meant to be. These shoes from Ingenue are so cute. I love flats and Ingenue has managed to put a new twist on the classic flat. This is another product I need more colours of.

NEW!!!! Boots from KLETVA available only at Modavia! Go, run...NOW! They're soooo wicked. I really had fun putting together an outfit to go with it. I started off much more dressy but released I could take a different approach. I do like how the outfit turned out. Not really my usual style but sometimes it's nice to try something different.

I threw on some tats, my ball cap from Argrace and headed down to the public basketball court. The sim is really cool. There are two run down courts complete with graffiti walls and a metro.

Anchored to the shore

So, I recently saw a post at Pink Is The New Blog about the new season of "Jersey Shore" (yes, I watch it... shhh). The gang is going to be in Italy! I'm a little nervous to see what trouble they'll get up to, but I think it's going to make for interesting t.v. I decided to head down to the Jersey Shore Sim. I really liked this little photo-booth they had set up. You can take pictures in the booth and then you can add them to a photo strip. It's pretty neat.

I've only recently come across ICONIC hair by Neveah Niu. This is the second hairstyle I've worn from there and it's really starting to grow on me. ICONIC is always releasing new stuff so stop by for the latest demo!

Found out about this great little dress after reading a post on German Style. I went down to Amerie to the Sugar and Spice brand. I always love when I find new stores, so thanks to gang of German Sl Style! <3 I will def be shopping at Amerie again!

The sailor cap from Boom has been EVERYWHERE! It's so super cute, so I can't blame everyone for blogging it!
