Emulating Marilyn

"I am very definitely a woman and I enjoy it."

~ Marilyn Monroe ~

So today I finally got a chance to check out the new offerings at Collabor88 and walked away with a lot of goodies to add to my closet. Initially, my plan was only to go there for the Hucci Vinnitsa Sandals you see in these pictures. But on my way to the shoes, I ran into this adorable outfit by Ison and the cute necklace by Yummy Accessories.

The Hucci Vinnitsa Sandals are available in nice beautiful colors and as a fatpack. The outfit by Ison also come in an assortment of gorgeous pastel colors and as a fatpack as well; however you have to buy the top and skirt separately. The necklace has a choice of six different colors and are available in both gold and silver.

If you haven't stopped by Collabor88, I highly recommend you do because there are some really amazing items the designers are offering at some outstanding prices.

Oh, one last thing, I know it can be hard to get into Collabor88 to the point it gets frustrating. I recently discovered the LetMeIn HUD, which is designed to help you get into sims that are full. If you need any help with using this HUD, just contact me on Facebook or inworld.

Happy shopping!

Rock His World

"One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she's sexy."

~ Scarlett Johansson ~

It has been almost two months since I've blogged any outfits due to both my real life and second life getting so busy. However, when I saw this outfit by Heydra, I licked my lips and knew I just had to have it and would be nuts not to show it off. So, here I am.

Heydra Starfall named this mesh gem, Abby. Personally, I love the leather jeggings because if your a shoe addict like me, it takes me forever to decide which pair of shoes or boots to wear with an outfit; and yes, I do have my favorites, or "go to" shoes/boots, if I'm in a pinch. With the jeggings, I don't have to worry about this because as you can see in the photos, it's got shoes. The top is sexy as hell and the best part about it...if you're a mix and match kind of person, you can wear it with other pants, jeans and skirts you have in your closet.

Ladies, if you want to rock your man's world, or any man's world for that matter, this is the outfit to do it in. You will certainly turn heads wherever you go wearing this. Happy shopping!

Curvaciously Beautiful

"A figure with curves always offers a lot of interesting angles"

~Wesley Ruggles~

Lucy Shape

Naomi Shape

In this post I decided to showcase a couple of very sexy shapes. The one thing I have learned in my almost five years in SL is that a lot of men love a woman with curves and here are two shapes that will certainly get some attention...Lucy and Naomi. MegraTigerllie is the designer of these sexy, curvy shapes and owner of Megra's House Of Random. The Naomi Shape is Megra's actual shape that she uses. So if you've been having trouble getting your curvy figure just right, or you don't have the Lindens to purchase Lola's or the Cute Azz, I highly suggest you give either one of these shapes a try; demos are available for both.

Boots That Rock

"Life's too short to wear boring clothes"

I love boots. I especially love boots that are funky and fun. Designer Asheranna, owner of McButtkinz, has met that need with her most recent offering...the leather Cross Rivet Stompers. The boots are availble in 13 fantastic colors (as seen in the pictures below the style notes). When you open the box, you'll see each boot two different styles...one with the black leather strap (as shown in the top photograph) and one with a matching-colored strap (as you see in the second picture above); it also comes with and without a re-sizer. For those of you looking for suede boots...stay tuned because Asheranna will be releasing these boots in suede shortly.

What I love about these boots is you can wear them to add a little pizazz to a plain monochromatic outfit or you can make a cute, funky outfit just a little more funkier and fun. Either way, when you wear these boots, you will most definitely make a splash.

Cozy Dress & Ripped Leggings (left). Venetian Wine Ring (top right) and Sophia shoes (bottom right)

Ripped Leggings - All 8 in the set

The holidays are over and a new year has begun. It's time to relax with some "me" time and checking out the sales, going on a fun hunt or simply relaxing in your favorite barista. For these types of outings I like to dress in clothes and shoes that are comfortable; what I like to call my "everyday wear". So for this type of casual occasion, I have taken mesh and non-mesh items from four of my favorite designers and put them together and added some of my favorite "fun" jewelry.

The jacket is the limited edition Republica Fur Jacket from Indyra Originals, the top is actually a mini dress from Happy Undead they call the Cozy Red Dress, the funky (and I say this in a good way) leggings are from Zeitgeist and the gorgeous footwear is the latest offering from Dazed Dezinez called Sophia.

Fabulous in Plaid

"Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."

~ Gore Vidal ~

I love winter. I love winter fashion. I especially love winter fashion when I spot a coat that is simply fabulous...like this one designed by Asheranna, owner of McButtkinz. I'm no stranger to Asheranna's clothing store; I own several of her mesh outfits and love them, but when I spotted this gem...my heart instantly started going pitter-patter, pitter-patter. I had to make it my first McButtkinz blog.

The beautiful red plaid of the coat is understated and stylish with wide, black, fur cuffs at the end of the sleeves and around the neck; accentuating it with a cute little plaid bow, set slightly off to the side. The collar is a petal-like design, in black, that goes all the way around the neckline...which I think is adorable. Simple gold buttons line down the front of the coat and a black "belt" at the waist to break up the plaid...a smart design move because it just gives the coat that "something extra". She finishes the hem of the coat with the same black petal-like design found at the neckline which, I feel adds to the adorability factor. In addition to the coat, she designed matching high heel boots that come with and without a resizer to guarantee a great fit. What makes the boots? She adds a black band around the center of the matching  red plaid trim of the boot tops and places a neat little bow on the side of each boot. Adorable!

Yes it is a coat but I like to wear it as coat dress because this is not a coat that should be taken off and neatly hung in the closet. Oh no, no, no, no! Believe me, once you put it on, you will want to wear it everywhere and show it off. Not only is this coat cute as can be...it's fresh, fun, and daring. I believe Asheranna has made a statement with this piece...and so will you when you wear it.

If this is your first introduction to Asheranna and McButtkinz fashion and you like high quality, well-fitting mesh clothing, I implore you to visit her store and check out her other offerings.

Gothic and Fabulous

"Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality."

~ Karl Lagerfeld ~

Bella Gothic Dress

Maylo Designs Olympus (Collar, Earrings, & Bracelet)

Kalabrie Allstar, designer and owner of Zeitgeist, designed this fabulous gothic mesh dress she calls Bella. I love how she designed this semi-formal dress. A semi-sweetheart corset top that gently pushes up on the bust and how it shows off the curves of your hips, with an understated print on the front with a flowing high-low skirt attached to it. The low, square neckline accentuates the neck giving you enough space for whatever piece of jewelry you choose to wear....or you can wear nothing at all if you want to bring attention to your gorgeous neck. (A beautiful neck is incredibly sexy  you know.) The sleeves are tight around the shoulders and down to the elbows and then falls freely in a fabulous flair sleeves that fall past the fingertips. The edges of the skirt and flair sleeves are trimmed in lace. There are four black bows on the dress: one on each side of the hips where the corset ends and the skirt begins and the other two on each sleeve where the flair begins. If you want to see the back of the dress, please check out Zeitgeist's page.

The dress flows beautifully when you walk and when you are whisked around the dance floor by a handsome man. It is, in a word...feminine. and when you put it on, you feel feminine. If goth is your style, then this is the dress for you.
