Devoured by Paradise

It's been soooo long since I've blogged and this time I've got an excellent excuse. I've been on vacation!!!!!! I cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful it was. I don't usually share pictures from RL but because I loved Bali so much I wanted to share it with my readers.

This pictures shows the rice fields and assorted greenery. It is so lush and beautiful.

I went on a cycling excursion one day and we stopped to eat at a restaurant. This was a view of a volcano and the surrounding area.  

A woman drying the rice out. There are many different kinds of rice grown in Indonesia, mainly Bali.

My favourite part was seeing the village children. They were so eager to see foreigners and they'd wave and shout "hello". They were especially excited when I asked to take their photo.

Tons of people were carrying heavy loads on their heads. I don't know how they do it.

On another day I went into Monkey Forest. These monkeys go nuts for bananas. 

I thought the trees in the forest were especially interesting. Their vines grew down and they were just so large and lush.

Another monkey - so cute! 

Possibly my favourite photo. Sunset off a Gili Island.  

Now, a little bit of blogging. I was hanging out with my friend Tristan and he needed some help with a picture. Look at his photo - > HERE. Of course, I hadn't been shopping for a while, so it gave me the perfect excuse to get a new outfit. I swung by Wasabi Pills to pick up the latest FLF item and then headed over to FaMeshed. I got this awesome maxi dress from Aura. There were so many different colours to choose from, I had a tough time deciding. But, I went with the Blue Jay and I'm ubber happy I did. I then jumped over to C88 to browse the new collection. O-m-g so many amazing items. I picked up the bangles and rings and a necklace. I'll be heading back to C88 to pick up some more!

Kate

Hart Larsson has just released his newest creation called "Kate". She is a great edition to his collection and one that I was eager to show off. I dressed up in this great find at The Sea Hole and wore the brand new shoes from NX. Overall, I think it turned out to be a really innocent look.

What I've always loved about PXL is the freckles on the skins. It gives you the option of youthful and fresh or mature and elegant. I love skins that can be versatile. I love all the makeups available with skin. It also has three brow options and tons of lipsticks too. You should jump over to PXL to try on a demo!

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.

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. ;)

Jutapose - Brrrrr.... 2 (GFW)

I'm totally a sucker for group gifts and why not... they're a fantastic little treat from your favourite creators that you didn't have to pay for! Claps hands and does a little jig! I love when I log in and there are notices from my favourite groups letting me know there are some new group gifts.

I'm wearing two new group gifts from C'est Moi! I'm lovin' both of them. Although I have to say I haven't been able to take off this little white dress. It comes with a scarf and belt. It's basically a complete outfit! But, I topped it off with one of those awesome cardis from Izzie's.

It's a reasonable one time fee to join most groups. There are more than a few groups on my list that I paid to join. I'd do it again, too! I definitely recommend joining groups (even if there is a fee) because it's worth it in the long run.
