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.

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.

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.

Alva

Brand new from LAQ is the realistic skin called "Alva". Alva is perfection! She comes with 5 different options in each skin tone. I'm a fan of the Peach tone but I'm considering going back for another tone. Alva is def worth the price and you won't be disappointed. Make sure you go try a demo!

Also showing the brand new hair from Shag. If you haven't seen the ad for this hair then you need to go look at at the Shag blog page. It features the wonderful Ms. Strawberry Singh and she looks great. The ad alone sold me on this hair.

The hair comes in many different colours and has the new roots hair texture. It has adorable chopsticks in the back that have two different wood options. As well you can change the colour of the hanging pendents. Another awesome feature is that you can remove these chopsticks all together. Shag has totally been on the ball lately with all his new releases! Thanks Sebastien!!!

The dress I'm wearing is brand new from Bounce and featured at the Fashionably Late Event. It comes with two different skirt options and four different colours. It's named after one of my besties and fellow blogger Kaelyn Alecto.

The Perfect Fit

Every summer I find myself going on the search for the perfect pair of jean shorts. This year my search took me to -paper.doll- Creator Zoey Gabardini has made terrific shorts called the "Rolled Denim Shorts".

They are the perfect fit, and I'll tell you why... They come with three different options. The regular "standard" fit, a pocket option and suspenders option. You get three different styles for the price of one.

You could literally wear these shorts all the time and have them look different each and every time you put em on!!! I suggest you get your pixel bottoms down there and get yourself a few pairs. I'm only showing a couple colours but don't worry these shorts WILL BE popping up in my posts again! ;)

Also wearing brand new hair from Exile called "Caitrin". I really like this wavy bob. Exile has just released a while bunch of new styles so check out the demos! Rocking the PM "Fae" shoes again cause they're absolutely stunning! The shirt is from the summer collection at Surf Co. and available in soooooooo many colours!

This is literally one of the events I wait for ALL YEAR! I'm wearing the brand new shoe from "Pixel Mode" called Fae. It's stunning. So well sculpted and textured. It's unreal just how REAL they look.

Also want to rave about these new top from "paper.doll" called Belle. Belle is a tub tube with a prim attachment that gives you the sweet summer look. I'm going to be using this top throughout my summer posts. I really love it. It has also just been released in plain and patterns. Make sure you head down to check out the styles available as I'm only showing a few.

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.

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
