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.

KIM has been throwing out tons of new releases for the spring season. I am especially fond of these lace dresses, they're so scandolous. They come is so many different colours that I'd be shocked if you couldn't find a colour that you like...

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.

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

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.

Hair Fair 2011 - Part Four

This will be my last post for Hair Fair 2011 coverage. I realize I'm a tad-bit late but having just gotten back from RL vacation I figure now is better than never.

I was trying to aim for a french look with this hairstyle but I wasn't able to find any french-theme gowns that I truly loved. Then I remembered I had this stunning gown from Phoenix Rising. I decided to see if the store was still open. As my luck would have it. The inworld location is still available and EVERYTHING has been marked down to L$25 lindens. So, naturally I did a bit of shopping.

I was really excited about Exile's releases this year. I love the seashell, flower, ribbon combinations. All these hairs come with a colour change menu and an option to turn off the extra decoration.

The outfit:

First time is a charm!

I'm am so happy and honoured to have the chance to display some of the AMAZING pieces available at the first edition of My Second Wardrobe. It's a great collection of some of SL's finest designers. For more info visit their site MSW.

I put together three different outfits using some of the pieces from the collection. There are literally so many great buys available that I wasn't able to fit them all into one post. I am also wearing a few of the MANY lovely group gifts from the NEW Truth District.

I really like this dress from KIM. It's awesome that it comes with two different colours for such a great price. As well, this skin and hair are a near steal.

Emma II comes with two different options, one with bangs and one without. Again... what a deal!!! :)

Aching for that summer heat

I recently got this really neat surfer set from "Tiki Tattoo". I love it. So many different animations available and the texturing is amazing. It's such a high quality set. It's perfect for the beach theme I have going on. If you've never been to "Tiki Tattoo" you're due for a visit. Loads of high quality tropical products.

I asked my friend Jab to pose for my pictures. He was a great sport! Hugs to him! ;)

HUGE fan of this necklace from "GaNKeD"! It's beautiful. I thought I'd pair it with a really simple summer look. I'm becoming a very dedicated stalker of Ronsem as well. I've gotten a few things from there and I've been impressed with all of my purchases.
