My Look of the Day and an introduction to a NEW STORE!!!! New on the grid… [Echo]. I cleaned the store out the other day and just had to show off just one of the looks from this fabulous new shop.

Peace on Earth hunt starts on December 1, and here are a few more previews. We have art! Outfits! Props! All with that awesome cheerful holiday theme to get us the hell through this season of dark and cold. Two more photos and the credits are behind the cut. Continue reading
I’ve loved MIASNOW skins ever since they came in the most shocking shades of green and blue and purple. Now they come in human flesh color, and I still love them. This one is called Ginger, and is especially made for redheads, it seems. Look at all those lush freckles! You can also get many sorts of lip colors on a tattoo layer. The rest of the body is similarly blessed with freckles! I’m wearing this new skin with a new set of jewelry from Lolapop, the Corvus cameo set. I’m a sucker for crows (my tattoo is ~silentsparrow’s~ Crowjane), and I really like how Lola made this! Her store is currently having a 32L sale (in honor of her birfday) throughout the weekend, too… [SLURL to MIASNOW] [SLURL to Lolapop!]

Come back to 1969 tonight at The Velvet for this 10th in the 52 week Rock Per Annum weekly tour of rock music history. DJ Maht Wuyts will be spinning music from the year 1969 – the year that man walked on the moon and over 350,000 people gathered on a farm in Bethel, NY, for a seminal music event – Woodstock. This was a year of increasing protests against the Vietnam War as the first draft lottery since 1942 was held. It was the year of the Chicago 8 Trial and the Charles Manson murders. Richard Nixon became president and immediately threw away his pledge to end the Vietnam War. Operation Menu, the secret bombing of Cambodia was launched. Meanwhile, the Air Force declared there were no UFOs.
Fashion in 1969 was a little bit of everything. There were officially five skirt lengths that were all “in fashion” from the micro, the standard (formerly known as the mini), the kneesie (for dressing up), to the midi and the maxi. Jersey knits were popular and worning in clinging wrap dresses. Kilts were another fashion hit as were pattern mixing of plaids, stripes and dots. Ethnic bohemian fashion continued to be popular with gypsy tops and long print skirt and granny boots remaining a popular item. Another popular fashion trend that carried forward from 1968 was the Bonnie and Clyde look, thanks to the successful movie. This lead to a resurgence of interest in Art Deco – particularly in jewelry.
Monica Outlander of MiaMai has produced a gorgeous pantsuit with a gorgeous wool serge. I love its rich texture and jewel tone colors. But guess what, it’s cold outside, so…
I tossed on a snug warm sweater and scarf. The sweater is from Novocaine – a store that has sadly left the grid. The scarf, though, is a new release from Baiastice. It comes in several colors and also includes a additional piece that can cover up your lower face for those bitterly cold days.

What a cool date…. 11 ~~ 22 ~~ 11
Thought I’d mention that since I just noticed it when I typed it up there ^^^!
Anywho…. back to my Look of the Day….
First, for my casual look today, I’ve donned a cute sweater and pair of capri jeans from Somnia.
This warm sweater is from the Striped Queen collection and the pants are from the Tweed Waders Muted collection. Both are new to the store and perfect for a cool fall day.
This jewelry set is one I happened to pick up at the Vintage Fair and is a very versatile piece from Amorous called Refrain. The jewels are color changing and so is the metal.
AND last but not least….. the SHOES…. and these are the NEWEST release (just today) from Kalnins Fashion. The Audrey Sandal is a gorgeous crocodile sandal, with an EASY to use HUD for matching your skin effortlessly. Just see for yourself ~

The Peace on Earth hunt begins soon, and I was happy to get a preview of a few of the pretty things. This dress by SAS is one of them — I adore the color, yellow/mustard/gold are hot colors for the season IRL, and I jumped at the chance to wear them in SL. My beautiful skin is by a new-to-me skinmaker (but an old friend!) — La Petite Morte. This is the pure, makeupless version, and I just adore it.

I’m not sure if you are aware but about four years ago Silo and I put up a house, he spent weeks decorating it and then – we left it. For FOUR YEARS. So the revolution of me picking up the whole lot of it and suddenly buying new furniture and moving into this doll house is kind of a big thing to me. (Thanks for the doll house Gogo.)
