Braving the Abyss

My inventory is out of control. I own more stuff than I could ever wear and I continue to add to the abyss daily because of my shopping habit. Come to think of it, that's not much different than my RL wardrobe situation (lol). Unfortunately, I can't seem to help myself. Admittedly, I love to shop and I love to share many of the fabulous goodies I find in SL with you via this blog. So, here's a look at some of my favorite new inventory items, I hope you enjoy them.






First up, is a stunning cocktail dress called Natalia from Pulchritude, which means beautiful and aptly describes this dress. Some of you may know that Juliette Pashinin, Pulchritude owner and designer, makes some of some of the sexiest body paints in SL (includng a cute new Halloween design). However, it is my opinion she makes some of the cutest dresses and lingerie too!

It was my love for feathers that first drew me to Juliette's design style. Now, I own just about everything she's made. I find her style to be simplistic, yet daring, chic, and sexy. I also love the fact that her clothing is well made, and affordably priced.

The look above is rounded out with more favorites which include a pair of cool pearl and chain bracelets by Dadina Dosei of DD Style (from the Gothic Rock fullpack) and the lovely new Neyya pumps in black suede from Maitreya.






Next, is an adorable little hat called Hallow's Eve that I got from Atomic Bambi. I love it! In fact, it's the closest thing to a Halloween costume that I've worn in years. Additionally, I'm really feeling the shallow water eyes from Poetic Colors, Innocent lashes (gentle) from Glow, and Tanya hair (espresso) from Truth.

More of my current favorites include Evie Hair from Truth (I could wear it every day if I did not have a thousand other styles that needed attention). Last, but certainly not least, I am absolutely crazy about the Fiona Skin from Free Speerit (pictured above in the Night makeup option)! It's an awesome Ebony skin and I wear it often because it's so versatile and photgraphs well.

Summer Looks vol. 2 -- The Swimsuit Edition

Summer is my favorite season for fashion and fun. I just love the colors and fabrics associated with summer. I also love the idea of baring a little skin to accentuate the assets :-). After all, my fashion philosophy is less is more. No, I don't have stripper tendencies and I'm not talking about walking around the grid half naked, what I mean is that you do not need to accessorize to clown proportions to looking stunning.

I'm a very laid-back person, so I also fully appreciate the leisurely vibe that comes with summer. I'm most often at peace and completely relaxed during this gloriously warm season. For me, summer and swimwear go hand in hand. Nothing relaxes me more than lying on the beach and not many summer activities that are more enjoyable than pool parties with my friends and family. For me summer and swimwear go hand in hand, it's a must have item for your inventory if you wish to enjoy the season.

You should always look fabulous, no matter what the activity. Beach outings and pool parties are no exception. In fact, I find them to be awesome opportunities to show off your fashion sense. To that end, let me introduce you to a few hot suits I found in SL. The costs of these suits vary a bit but they all are well made, offer a good amount of coverage, and scream SEXY!!!

First up, is the Thong bikini in pink from Dread or Dead... It's the perfect bikini because nobody will look hotter than you when you wear this. Another good thing about it, is that it's very affordable... only 50L and comes in several bright summer colors. The hair is one of my favorite styles from this year's Hair Fair... It's from Lamb and called Babys on Fire... Ummm, yes I am in this bikini!





Next up, is a new very sexy one piece I got from MichaMi. I love the detail and the cut of this suit. It accentuates our curvy goodies. It comes in several layers and 12 colors. The hair is by Truth and is called Sophia. It's available at the 2009 Hair Fair.

This last one is made by one of my favorite SL designers Dadina Dosei of DD Style. It's the Python bikini in black. My look is a simple one with just the suit. However, Dadina created a pareo, some beautiful snake accessories and sunglasses just for the pool party diva in you. The hair is one of Magika's Hair Fair 2009 offerings. It's called "Is". I love it because it looks so soft and feminine.

I snapped these pictures at the lovely Las Arenas Rosados Sim. It's a gorgeous sim, you should check it out. I realize that I haven't been providing links and I'll try to do better someday soon. Until then, if you can't find items I list here by searching, send me a notecard or IM in world and I'll gladly give it to you.
