Live, Love, Laugh, and ALWAYS Wear Cute Shoes With An Amaaaaazing Dress!



"The dress must not hang on the body but follow it's lines. It must accompany its wearer and when a woman smiles the dress must smile with her."
~ Madeleine Vionnet ~


The two versions of Moolala's dress...Tempting. Belted version is on the left and the unbelted version on the right.

Designer AmandaSue Hallison (better known as Mandy Moo) has just stepped up her game by coming out with her first dress in two versions and 11 colors! She offered the belted version in snow/white, shown above, as a group gift and received rave reviews; the green dress on the right is the unbelted version.

When I saw it, my first thought, after I ooh'd and ahhh'd for a bit, was I couldn't wait to give this dress a "test drive". So off I went to one of my favorite night clubs. Oh how this dress just moves with the curves of your body. Ladies, this dress was made to showcase your sexy shoulders, arms and legs.

This dress is quite versatile as it looks good with a gorgeous pair of heels or a pair of boots...whether it be ankle or calf boots...it doesn't matter. If you want to dress it down and pair it with some leggings and a cute pair of tennis shoes to meet up with your girlfriends for a day at the mall...go for it.

The quote in this post fits this dress perfectly because this dress does follow the lines of your body and not only will it smile when you smile, it will continue to smile even when you're not.

That First Impression...



"You never get a second chance to make that first impression."
~ Unknown ~

Maroon tunic dress by *Z*E*I*T*G*E*I*S*T*


Whoever first said that couldn't have spoken truer words and this mesh, tunic dress certainly makes an unforgettable impression.

Designed by German designer Kalabrie Allstar, this dress is just simply classic and so feminine in every way. It exudes self-confidence and with its understated sexiness, will surely turn heads in your direction when you step into a room. This dress looks like you spent a fortune; however, it is only priced at $75L. Talk about an incredible deal! It comes in five rich colors, maroon, navy, grey, green, and brown and each will make you feel like a million dollars.

As a side note, when I spoke with Kala, I was curious about the name of her store, Zeitgeist. "The Zeitgeist (spirit of the age or spirit of the time) is the intellectual fashion or dominant school of thought that typifies and influences the culture of a particular period in time," she said. I smiled because I believe this dress is timeless in its design and style.

In addition to all that, Indyra has included a Lola applier HUD.

Moolala Is Oohlala

"Polka dots can't stay alone. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots we become part of the unity of our environments."

~ Yayoi Kusama ~

Moolala - Slinky Top Polka Dot Fat Pack

If you're looking for a great top that you can dress up or dress down, then I suggest one of Moolala's Slinky Tops because they are so versatile. If I want to go a bit casual, I pair it with jeans; if I decide to dress up a bit, I'll wear it with a leather or vinyl skirt. I've even paired it with a solid-color bikini bottom to a friend's beach party.

Don't care for polka dots? It comes in a checkered pattern too. You can pick up a purple striped Slinky Top for $1L in Marketplace or for free in her in-world store if you'd like to try one out.

Moolala's pricing is very reasonable. The polka dot fatpack costs $450L or $60L per top. She also has the checkered fatpack that costs $350L or $60L per top. Her checkered fatpack offers tops in green, red, black, purple, yellow and pink. Like both and can't decide whether you want the polka dot or checkered pattern? Get both at a cost of $850L!

Moolala is owned by designer AmandaSue Hallison who is a fairly new designer in SL. She started off designing cute graphic t-shirts and then decided to explore the world of mesh. I'm very picky when it comes to whose mesh clothing I will buy and I think she her mesh is fabulous. I really look forward to more from her.

Hello Autumn!


"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." ~ George Elliot ~


Autumn is back but the warm weather still surrounds us like a cozy blanket. I pulled out this amazing top, by DaZed DeZineZ, from my closet which I feel makes for a great wear during the early fall season when it's still warm enough to wear but the colors fit right into the season. The best part about this top...IT'S FREE!

  • SHOES: N-Core - Ultraplatform
  • EARRINGS: Chop Zuey Coture - Bauble Bliss in gold/white
  • HAIR: Ploom - Pea
