I Want To Ride My Bicycle

Little signs of fall are appearing here in the Northeast... cool mornings, subtle changes to the leaves, evenings are cooling off a lot quicker and some of the schools are back in session.  This is the perfect bike riding weather.  Although the leaves here aren't as vibrant as those in my background, I hope you enjoy my glimpse into the fall.

Red White and Blue Kinda Day

Hello sweeties.  Just a simple post for you today as I've been a bit busy this week.  Today was a red, white and blue kind of day.  I saw these cute pants at Amarelo Manga and the rest of the outfit just fell into place.  Hope you like today's offering.

I Want Candy

Today I went back to Siren Production's event 'The 24'.  This time I took the yellow path and visited the pose exhibitors.  Many pose makers were represented and I enjoyed previewing a lot of their creations but I did miss some of the makers that I'm familiar with.  Nonetheless there are so many poses to check out that I enjoyed my afternoon.  While I was there I also went through the womenswear pink path.  One of the exhibitors I missed last time was Prism.  Lag wasn't too bad today so I was able to get into their booth to see what they had to offer.  I picked up the dress that I present to you today which is named after one of my favorite childhood candies.  Hope you like what I have to show you today.

Off the Beaten Path

Just a quick post to catch up from yesterday.  I've been trying to average one post each day and with the new school year preparations both at home and in my classroom I've fallen a bit behind.  This summer has been a lazy, hazy time for my family and me and now it's time to get back into familiar routines.

Summertime Blues

Summer is winding down here in the Northeast US but the days are still hot and humid.  Many people are rushing to get in some summer vacation before the kids hit the books again.  Here in SL summertime is in full swing and nothing is as refreshing as a walk on the beach.  Hope you like what I've put together to show you today.

Magic in the Moonlight

In my travels today I made my way to 'The 24 Event'.  Siren Productions has brought together 24 of SL's womenswear, menswear, home and pose designers in a huge display of exclusive offerings.  I fell in love with this outfit from GizzA.  Simple and understated with a boldly cut halter top.  Take a look and then tp over to the 24 and find your own magic.

Just Another Manic Monday

My RL is heating up even as summer cools down toward autumn.  Only 17 days til my little ones come back to the classroom and another school year begins.  In SL I was also out and about shopping and exploring and of course I had some comfy clothes to wander in.  I hope you like what I've put together for you today.

Styling With Attitude

Yesterday I discovered the Dressing Room Fusion shopping experience in SL.  Some of the offerings not only called my name, they yelled it loudly and right into my ear.  I picked up a couple of outfits and some accessories for a reasonable amount of L$.  This jumpsuit by Ricielli was one of those loud displays and I just HAD to buy it.  I present to you now, Papi by Ricielli.

New Age Madrigal

The classic definition of a madrigal is a song for two or three unaccompanied voices, developed in Italy in the late 13th and early 14th centuries.  The definition of Indyra Originals Madrigal is perfection in a wearable form.  This 2 piece mesh outfit is ultra-feminine and silky smooth against my skin.  I chose to present this outfit in a golden shade for you.  I hope you like it.

All Loovus, All the Time

Today was a busy day as I was out and about for most of it.  Once I got home and was able to kick back and relax I logged on to find a notice from Loovus Dzevavor heralding the new Upper Echelon mini collection for MaterialGirls' Fashion Bazaar.  I love all things LD and took the offered taxi over to check it out.  I love what Vikeejeah and Loovus have brought us with this collection and thought I'd show you one of the dresses being offered.  Prices are reasonable as always :)  Here's the landmark for you.  MaterialGirls' Fashion Bazaar

'Ware The Night

Evening fades into night.  The moon turns the landscape to liquid silver tinged with pink.  She emerges from the shadows to walk through the quiet wood without disturbing the slumbering wildlife.  She moves silently on, lingering only in dreams.

A Walk in the Park

Hi Sweeties, today I bring you an outfit by Cristal's Creations.  Deep White Cream is an all mesh outfit with a red belt covered with white and black polka dots.  The trim on the off-the-shoulder blouse is the same red with white and black dots.  This outfit is complete with a floppy white sunhat and white bangles which I have chosen not to wear today.  Hope you like.

Catching Up

With the fantastic summer weather we've had here in the northeast, I've enjoyed the past couple of days doing things with my family.  We've gotten home late and pretty much gone straight to bed and as a result, I haven't blogged.  I'm catching up on the past couple of days with some wonderful new outfits I've put together.

I got on over to Gizza and tried on one of her new Thorn dresses (how could I not with my last name :)).  When I saw how beautiful the beadwork is and how it clings to my figure in all the right places, I just had to buy it.  Also Bax Coen unveiled his new thigh high boots which pair perfectly with this beautiful dress.  Hope you like what I've done with this outfit.

Morning Has Broken...

Morning by the sea... I grew up near the seashore and during the summer  my friends and I would walk along the shore, stopping to admire the beautiful sailboats docked at the marina and dreaming of sailing off into the sunset with a handsome captain to guide us.  I still like to walk the shore and stop to watch the sun come up over the bay and the sunlight glinting on the water.  Today, this is my walking outfit.  Hope you like it.

Summer Girls

How wonderful it is to stand on pearly sands watching a big ball of fire melt into the ocean. A visit to the beach is one of life’s greatest pleasures. No particular time constraints, not curfew, no worries – just endless days of child-like enjoyment.  This retro bathing suit by Enzo Champagne reminds me of the days of my childhood, care-free and lasting forever.

Finally Friday!

Collabor88 is open and if you want to get there, you'll need lots of patience.  It took me almost 1/2 hour to tp and once there, I had to be careful so I didn't stop on anyone's toes.  Oh my goodness what treasures are on display.  Many of the well known designers have items for sale at Collabor88.

While I was browsing the stalls, I was asked if I'd want to do some pics for an new brand.  I'm still new at being approached (first time, actually) and I politely declined but promised to blog a piece from her designs.  I browsed her marketplace store and found a sweater that I really liked.  Combined with some of my finds over the last few shopping sprees, I put together the at-home outfit below.

Jumping In With Both Feet

This past week I had the opportunity to cast for Vogue's Instore Model Search.  The rules stated we had to style a look using an outfit from Vogue.  Well, I submitted my pictures and was chosen with another 14 models to walk for the judges.  Now you have to understand, I've not walked on a runway in my life so needless to say I was shaking in my high heels!  Luckily I wasn't first and was able to cam onto one of the models who were in front of me.  I watched what she did and tried to copy the walk and turn when it was my turn.  I thought I kind of pulled it off even though I had a tough moment when I had to turn and walk to the judges.  I was proud of myself for not falling off the side or walking zig-zag!  I did my poses and walked back offstage.  Let me tell you, I was shaking behind the keyboard lol.  All in all it was fun and firmed up my desire to learn how to model in SL.  I wasn't chosen which was ok.  I went for the experience and to see what I could do.  The pics below are my entry pics.
