Gold To Me

I am a Ben Harper fan. Seriously. He’s a prolific musician who performs a variety of genres defying classification so is the perfect fan-obsession for a peripatetic music lover like me.  One of his songs that I really love is Gold To Me and this dress from Donna Flora made me think of it immediately. The rich gold color is laced with black and luxurious black netting at the neckline and the hem give it this a glam look that is perfect for evening.

You look like gold to me, and I’m not too blind to see.
Oh, you look like gold.
Said, you look like gold.

And you make me want to sing with all the joy you bring.
Oh, you look like gold.
Oh, you look like gold.

Like the rays down from the sun when a new day has just begun.
You look like gold.
You look like gold.

Feeling Partial to Portia

Saschi Vixen of Adam N Eve has just released two new skins, including the vibrant Portia that I am wearing today. She dropped a few promotional copies my way, but when I saw what rich makeups she made, I had to hop over and pick up some more. I have to make special mention of her vendor system, though, because it’s pure genius. First, I recommend joining the group because the vendor discounts 10% for group members. When you select the skin you want, you are offered the chance to keep shopping and make your own custom fat pack. It was simple to use and the combined discount was 33% and being able to custom make a fat pack if fantastic. The first makeup that went into my pack was this Evergreen, because us green-eyed redheads drool over green shadow.

When I first saw the makeup, I knew I wanted to shoot it in the moonlight. It has that luminosity that the moonlight could only enhance. My friend Bhaio Shan had just advised me to check out Noah’s Ark – and when I saw the photo in the landmark, I know it would be perfect so now I just had to choose a dress. This is a great sim for shooting though you can only use huds as you cannot rez.

Well, it may be called the Krisha Sun Dress, but I think it rocked the moonlight. The dress if from ROC and I love the big bold floral print and loved shooting it among the fantastic flowers on the sim.  Now it’s chilly running around in the water in the moonlight – so I added the lovely lace cardigan from Coco. Every piece of this is tintable – and you saw it just the other day in mauve – same cardigan, just tinting away.

One of the stores that handed out a gift at the VIP Keys hunt (hell I forget the actual name of it) was FROP. I’m still unpacking – as you can tell, because it’s the only hunt I ever completed I’m rather savoring it. Continue reading

Dany French touch peut etre

Every once in a while I come across a store and love so much of it, I have a virtual spending spree.  That happened yesterday when I went to Dany French touch peut etre and bought several outfits – that ranged from 1 to 150L in price, so a spree that did not break my bank. Surprisingly, a while later I got an IM from the creator thanking me for shopping and gifting me with this lovely dress. She said nothing about blogging, just a thanks for shopping – but I will mark it as promotional just in case.  I had to check it out immediately and just loved it. The store is in 2nd place in the creator levye Shippe’s picks and you should go there even if you’re not in the mood to shop because she has made such a beautiful place. Be sure to explore the grounds – they are lovely.

UnDead Fashionista

In keeping with the cyber fashion you’ll find at ADDICTIVE SIM – Aleri Darkes included in the preview pack of her new Innana skins the GALACTICA tone and make up.

I think it looks like UnDead Fashionista. You know how it is. So many UnDead skins are freaking hideous – they are supposed to be, that’s the point. But I don’t like wearing HORROR and blood and guts.  So while I appreciate the art that goes into making them, I really won’t sport them with much enthusiasm.

Now watch someone make one I like, right? Continue reading

My bedroom is littered with goodies from the Designer Showcase Network – some from old favorites and some completely new to me. I love getting something handed to me from a creator that I’ve never shopped at before just because I have the opportunity to learn a new place!

And even simple items like tanks or shorts tell me a lot. Continue reading

Sister Act

posted by Gidge Uriza

Heehee. Ok it’s true. I did IM the entire Bloggers Group that I could see Cajsa’s butt. It wasn’t my fault, at first we were discussing my goat – and we somehow ended up discussing her butt when she TP’d into my extremely organized and not prim trashy at all bedroom.

You believe me right?

Most of these things aren’t my fault. I don’t have sisters you see. When I was in college, other girls would say “Could I borrow this sweater/dress/jeans?” and I’d say “Ummmm, no. Get your own.” Continue reading
