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.

Leaves are slowly falling

I've finally gotten Kaelyn Alecto to be a guest on my blog. We were both ubber excited when we saw the new release from Shag - Falling Slowly. We were gushing about the style and the length and the texturing. We loved it so much we decided to wear it for this post.

If I haven't said it before I love Autumn. It's my favourite season. I love watching the leaves change colour and the weather getting chilly. When you live in a city you really begin to miss fall colours. I notice that on the feeds more and more people are starting to bring out the fall colours. I find myself doing the same thing. I just can't help it ;)

I really liked Kae's outfit. She wore this very drapey top and jean duo from Connors. It's perfect for this season.

Look at those SHOES! I mean c'mon... they're awesome. They're from a new (to me) store called "Leverocci". I had never been there until my friend told me I should check it out. Boy, was she right! I loved everything. I'll be heading back for more!!! Also, equally loving this new jacket from mon tissu.

Bubblegum & Beachwear

Gogo posted about a challenge on her blog - read here. Basically, she's really digging unnatural hair colours lately. She's encouraging everyone to wear their favourite bubblegum colours on Saturdays and Sundays! This is a great, and really fun idea. Thanks Gogo!

Wanted to let you know about a few things. First of all I'm wearing the great new Rock Me Amadeus Beachwear Collection. The swimwear is really egdy and features loads of different patterns and designs. And they're all only L$150 each. Available at Rock Me Amadeus Mainstore. Wearing this rockin' skirt from MALT. I love the texture on this skirt, it was a perfect match for the bubblegum theme! The great thing about this skirt is that you can really dress it up and make it an evening outfit, or throw it on during the day. It's got a lot of versatility.

Wearing this lovely skin from Rockberry. It's the first time I've gotten a skin from there and I have to say I'm super impressed. I love the way the facial features look on my shape. I plan to show Apple off a little better in the next week. 'Til then, go down and try the demo for yourself!

Also, there is a 50% off sale at Bellballs. I picked up tons of stuff. I might have gone a bit overboard, so be prepared to see a lot of Bellballs stuff. (lol). If you really want to add to your jewelry collection now is the time. Don't miss out on this awesome sale.

One of the great hunts on the grid right now is the Taste of Second Life Hunt. 70 different creators have been kind enough to put out hunt freebies. Make sure you do this hunt as there are tons and tons of great things. I'll be featuring some of them on my blog in the next few days.

Oh, that's Ch1c

So, I went back to Ch1c to get some more birthday goodies and guess who I bumped into? Kaelyn Alecto of Sweet Sexy Crazy. It was the first time we'd met each other and it was an OMG moment for both of us. Super sweet and sexy Kaelyn asked me to be a guest on her blog and I couldn't have been more delighted. I had a blast chatting with her while we took pictures. We decided to feature some of the wonderful finds from the Ch1c birthday event.

For Kaelyn's style card and more pictures please visit her post -> click here!

1st outfit - Pink

We both put on our pink dress for the first picture and we nicknamed ourselves the pink ladies since that colour happens to be a huge challenge for us. If you didn't know, I'm terrified of COLOUR! Ridiculous, I know... Getting get use of this shag hair. I think it looks fantastic with the Janett skin!

I'm showing off Candy Doll's Janett made exclusive for Ch1c's birthday. She's cute! I love the freckles across the bridge of the nose. I paired it with some dark eyeshadow and lashes. It's the perfect look for the STUNNING dress from Glam Affair. I really wish I could have got more colours! It's so flirty and cute and ohhh I want more of them... lol

The Return of Vanity Circus

I first started blogging on my own blog in late 2009. I had a passion for shopping and wanted to make myself feel better about spending copious amounts on digital fashion. Close to a year later I found myself too busy in RL to keep up with things in SL. So, I deleted my blog.

I was asked by my close friend Lorellai Kondor to be a guest blogger on her site. I couldn't have been more honoured by the invitation as she was and still is one of my favourite bloggers.

However, now I'm able to balance my time. So for the time being I'm setting out to blog on my own again. I will continue to guest blog for Lorellai as well. I look forward to sharing my stylings with you and hearing your opinions!! :) <3 Temp
