tee hee

So I don't mean to brag, but right now I have zero need for winter clothes. They are all packed away back in Seattle. But that doesn't mean I can't throw on a super dude double breasted black wool swing coat anyway. Well, in world at least. This is adorable jacket is new from *Hilarious* I love the detail buttons on the cuffs, they make the jacket that much better. The Onyx and the Navy are my favorite colors, but it comes in a whole range, from blues, to greens and browns.

*Hilarious* Candace Jacket (Onyx) 175L

So Nice.

Oh, oh oh oh. I am back :O Well, a little bit at least. I cried my eyes out as the plane just *had* to do one last swoop over my beloved city of Seattle before heading on its way to Arizona. But honestly, from the sound of it, it doesn't sound like I'm missing much. 40s and rain? I'll take a dry mid 80s, thank you.

I'll also take all of the fabulous new goodies from Seldom Blue. This week they've released a new dress line, MIA, with some really fun prints, most of them animal. Yum. Then, there are the special promo dresses. As usual there is a fantastic 1L dress, then the 100L set, and finally the full priced pretties.

Seldom Blue 'MIA Floral' (Blue) - 1L
Kunstkammer 'Glamazon' studded cuff set (Gunmetal) - 200L

I also had a pretty fabulous cuff set appear in my inventory from Kunstkammer. If you missed out on the gorgeous pearl set yesterday during 50L Friday, or just want more colors, the Glamazon set is also available in gunmetal, as you can see on my perfect little wrists.

Seldom Blue 'MIA Floral' (Red) - 100L
Kunstkammer 'Glamazon' studded cuff set (Gunmetal) - 200L

The MIA line comes with two prim skirts and two system skirts, and if you're really brave, you might just wear it without the skirt for a sexy little number, or if you're just cosplaying as Peggy Bundy. There are also matching purses available to complete the look.

Seldom Blue 'MIA' (Snakeskin) - 465L
Eternity Silks 'MIA' handbag (Snakeskin) - 150L
Kunstkammer 'Glamazon' studded cuff set (Gunmetal) - 200L

Now, if someone could find me an SPF that didn't make my skin sting, I'd be golden D:

Okay, first up, if you love $50L Fridays (and who doesn't?), you're probably going to like the latest spin-off, Weekend Fever. This is the inaugural weekend and it's basically the same concept - a rotation of some fab shops with $50L items, but this time you have all weekend to grab them. For the first week, the line-up is pretty good. Fishy Strawberry is offering the comfy sweater dress pictured above, plus an outfit for guys. And Periquita is kicking ass with a Fatpack of 3 pairs of brown shoes. I also need to mention the poses used in this pic are a Group Gift from On The Cover, which is temporarily closing it's doors, while the wonderfully awesome owner pursues some RL opportunities. We're all going to miss her work while she's away. Break a leg, Mashi! :D

Sn@tch is getting in on the sale action - everything is marked down and insanely cheap right now! And, if you're familiar with Sn@tch, you know that everything is sold as a Fatpack. So, you're getting a pile of clothes for next to nothing! :O Run! Now's your chance to stock up! And, speaking of fatpacks, guess who dropped the mack-daddy Fatpack of the day... None other than The Lady Miss Tuli! There is a mondo Fatpack of her latest skin line waiting for Group members in the magic mushroom at the store. You would not believe the pile-up of rabid fashionistas we had there today when the notice went out! XD



Right - * MichaMi: Malina in Blue - $125L

Among the mass of sales going on right now, there are 2 more you need to pop in and check out. MichaMi has a few selected items in her shop marked down 50%. I snagged this great little blue mini that also converts into a killer little longsleeve top. I needed another blue mini (cause who can ever have enough, right?), so I hit the 50% off sale at Haute Style & Co. This weekend only - so hurry! Loads of great deals - happy shopping! :D

Hammerhead

It's $50L Friday time!



Dress - {SMS} Fishy Glitter Dress Plum - $50L
Pose - [LAP] - DW-High Falutin P4 - $50L (Fatpack)

There's a lot of variety this week & loads to work into the old tired wardrobe. I started off with this itty bitty glitter mini from So Many Styles. Tight, shiny & short - how could I possibly resist?



Top - This is a Fawn - Scoop Back Tank [aubergine] - $50L
Pose - [LAP] - RV-Baby Got Back Too - $50L (Fatpack)

The scoop back tank from This Is a Fawn has been a favorite of mine from this shop for a while. And the chance to get it in purple was too great to pass up. Also, all of the poses in this post are from the Ladies pack of poses available at Long Awkward Pose. I scooped up the Guys pack, too, for good measure.

Also seen in all the pics this week is the studded cuff bracelet from Kunstkammer. It's far too fabulous & comes as part of a set with another cuff bracelet style, plus size options. The lashes are from Glow Studio & might be my new favorite. They've got a little Tammy Faye flavor to them that I just adore. And, finally, the comfy cozy little cardigan from Milk Motion. I guarantee every girl snatched this one up double quick! ;D

Highend on the Cheap

Dear Lord I love getting a bargain. Especially on the fancy schmancy stuff.



[LeLutka]-ARMADAdress/violetred - $299L

Thankfully, Lelutka has just opened up an outlet store! Yay! Now all of those outfits & dresses that used to cost a small fortune in Linden are now a smaller fortune, but so worth it. I picked up two items I've been coveting for months (pictured above & below), both of them supremely fabulous and totally necessary - nay, mandatory. And, compared to their original price tags, they came at a steep discount.



[LeLutka]-CAI suit/black - $299L

I highly recommend cruising the shop. There are a ton of items - dresses, outfits, seperates - and most are surprisingly affordable. All of them wonderfully well-made.



Top - *COCO*_Gift_TurtleneckSweater - FREE (Group Gift)
Belt - *COCO*_gift-belt - FREE (Group Gift)
Shoes - Maitreya SoHo Boots 'PatentMix Black' - FREE (Group Gift)

Not to be outdone, Coco released a new Group Gift today - this fabulously perfect black turtleneck sweater. You absolutely need this for winter. While you're there, be sure to pick up the Group Gift black belt, in case you've missed it before. And, of course, what could go better with these pieces than this weekend's gift from Maitreya? The jaw-droppingly generous gift is still available in the Subscribe-o-Matic, if 10,000 blog posts about them haven't prompted you yet to go pick them up.

Au Revoir! (for now)

Good morning, so I am less than 24 hours away from leaving for the airport. I'm really starting to stress, and get kind of scared. I've been scared, but now its starting to feel real. I'm sitting in a room that has never been so empty, and it's a strange feeling. I'm closing a very large chapter of my life to begin a new one, hopefully one filled with excitement, adventure, and fun, because that's a large part of why I'm making this move. I will be off SL after tonight, for at least 4 days to a week. Depending on when my computer tower arrives at my new home. But for now, laundry. And, lots of it.

Good thing Ghanima never fails to keep me clothed, and today with her new Talena line, I've fallen in love once again. I keep saying that her newest release is my favorite, but it's so true. She keeps out doing herself, and this time, I dunno how she can top it. I feel like little red riding hood in this set.

+++Blue Blood+++ 'Talena' dress (red) - 300L

The set is totally variable, leaving you with any number of options in terms of wearing this set. You have an adorable capelet, a shirt and a corset, cap sleeves and long sleeves, and your imagination to make this set unique to you. I'm such a sucker for the lacing, I love the asymmetrical plunge it takes.

+++Blue Blood+++ 'Talena' dress (red) - 300L

The set comes in red, purple, teal, gold and of course black. Just remember that, if you want the black, you need to be a member of the +++Blue Blood+++ group. I hope you guys had a great Halloween, I know I did. And I'll see you soon!
