Just horsin’ around

http://Just horsin' around

I’m a huge watcher of all the special promos and events (it’s the only way I can possibly afford my SL shopping habit lol).  When I saw this little set on promo,  I just had to have it! Sooooo cute and summery, with such lovely little design touches (I especially love that peek-a-boo floral edging). And it really plays my Tonic curves to perfection!  On  a related note, for some reason, I’m really into glasses all of a sudden, and these are just absolutely wonderful! Mulloy is a new brand for me, and I’m not sure where I picked these up, but I not only love the look, the HUD lets me customize them so that they can match almost every outfit!

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

http://Lazing on a sunny afternoon

I don’t usually wear, let alone blog, free outfits because in all honesty, they generally just don’t look that good.  Featured in FabFree, this lovely little outfit is a notable exception. With an Omega top (10 colors in the HUD) and a cute flouncy little skirt that, yes, comes in Tonic, it’s worth joining the group (it’s free!) to get this stunner of a free group gift. The shoes are free too — a gift from N-Core at the Tres Chic Anniversary Event.  So stop lazing around, and get into shopping mode!

Red sky — warning or delight?

http://Red sky -- warning or delight?

For a long time, it’s seemed that there are two choices in female clothing for their avatars: skin-tight (or really really close to it) and totally baggy (and I mean sack-like). It’s so refreshing to find a really cute summer dress that successfully hits that middle ground, somehow still providing a shapely curve and then using a high-low hem to really draw attention to those long sexy avi legs.  You get the whole package too, with wedged mid-high sandals sporting the same bright summery print as the dress and an armful of bangles in all the right colors. One thing to note for Slink feet… do NOT wear a shoe shape or your sandals will be way below your feet; you might need to adjust your hover as well or you’ll sink through the floor. But making those little adjustments are so worth it for this outfit that’s definitely a delight! And don’t forget… the May Event ends next week, so get it for 50% off while you still can!

Good Day Sunshine

It’s a sunny morning here in RL… What a wonderful change after days and days of rain! One more thing I love about SL is that rain or shine in RL (or whatever else nature throws my way except for loss of power!), I can always find whatever weather suits my chosen clothes as opposed to having to dress to fit the weather!  This casual sexy little set cried out for bright sunshine; perfect after going out to a cafe for, yes, another coffee!

P.S. I Love You

http://P.S. I Love You

Maybe it’s a holdover from when I was growing up, but I’m just crazy for fringe: fringed boots, fringed bags, and as in this case, fringed jackets. Paired with a more modern style open-side legging, a v-neck floral patterned cropped top, and studded stiletto ankle boots (all of which are included), it’s a very retro-hippie look, especially when topped with this love-child hair style right out of the ’60s.  And even though the jacket/top doesn’t come in Tonic (the pants do), the Maitreya size fit perfectly with just a teeny tap on the alpha hud… easy enough in order to get this fabulous fringe!  And as long as we’re talking retro, what’s more retro than a love letter — written on paper!!! — with those never-forgotten Beatles lyrics — P.S. I Love You…

The Torch Singer

http://The Torch Singer

I always feel like the star of the show when I get all dressed up in an Allure gown. Maybe it’s the style, maybe it’s the fit, maybe it’s the textures, maybe it’s all that and more. When it comes right down to it, the reason why doesn’t really matter; I just know that I always look great and feel great, whether standing on the side lines, dancing with my guy, or caught in the spotlight.  Personally, I haven’t found ANY other gowns that offer this quality for my Tonic curves without resorting to Omega… and it doesn’t hurt that they always come with matching shoes lol!  This sexy cut-away style in this pose just evoked thoughts of an old-style torch singer, about to sing one of my all-time favorites, At Last. (Please note: although the Mia Gown obviously enhances my Tonic curves, I DID need to tap on the Tonic alpha hud for the belly; your individual shape may not need that, but just in case, know that it was a super-easy fix.)

Chilly weather means LEATHER!

http://Biker Babe http://KS Kumiko Jacket Skull

Lucky me, because I just happened to find this awesome biker jacket fatpack on a FIFTY5 THURSDAYS offer from KingbalStores… and it came in my size! Since I paired it with orange jeans in honor of Halloween, I just went with classic black, but the included HUD gives you 9 other choices too!

Great bargain find!

I LOVE this little dress I picked up on promotion from the Cremosas main store (also now at Designer Showcase)! Not only does it have my Tonic Curvy size for a great sexy fit, but the 10-color HUD lets you change the color in three ways: front/left sleeve, back/right sleeve, and laces separately, for all kinds of different curvy looks.
