Before I ever began blogging, I was an avid shopper. One of my favorite designers was Aphrodite Outlander and I had fatpacks of her Vintish pumps and her Sasy mules as well as many of her dresses. Early readers would find several posts with her clothing and shoes back in 2008 and 2009. I loved her bold, painterly use of color – as if Gauguin had decided to make clothes in Second Life®. Like many early creators, she closed her store. Luckily for us, though, her retirement turned out be a sabbatical instead. She’s launched a new store named L’Alph which she opened with several mesh shoes and dresses. I was so excited and am thrilled to be wearing one of her new dresses – Eva. She made it in twelve striking colors, but I chose the black one with the silver print. That gorgeous ring is from [glow] studio and can be found at FAIR – the new monthly design showcase from Chic Management. It opens at 4 PM today.

The leather pumps are also from L’Aph and come in eight classic colors. I shot these picks over at SolAria – a lovely, retro Italian village sim.

I wanted to wear this gorgeous new hat hair from Vanity Hair, which is the main reason for choosing the black dress over the other colors. It’s called Sabine and has a touch-change color script with three options, white, black and green.

My skin is from Glam Affair.
