Islands...

"I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spent my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here...I saw
Something I couldn't overlook
I am yours now...
So now I don't EVER have to leave
I've been found now...
So now I'll never explore
See what I've done...
That bridge is on fire
Back to where I've been...
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be?
If this were to go under
That's a risk I'd take...
I'm froze by desire
This is the choice I make..."


           

Majority of the time, it's the big established brands that get the most shine on fashion blogs. It can be difficult for new designers to grab attention amongst the massive sea of fashion houses here in Second Life. So it's with much esteem that I introduce to some and present to others, the work of [BarCode]; sexy, fashion forward, on-trend jewelry for MODERN WOMEN that love to stand out. Bold feathers, metals, colors and prints adorn oversized earrings, watches and headpieces. This is DEFINITELY a dynamic, new brand worth checking out, one that I'm sure we'll all be seeing EVERYWHERE very soon. If you're as big a fan of STATEMENT jewelry as I am, it would be who of you to give them a chance...

Thank you Nez for your generosity and for showing the blog LOVE. I will ALWAYS champion for you guys and your brand...

If I Was Your Girlfriend...

"If I was your girlfriend...
Would you let me dress you?
I mean help you pick out your clothes
Before we go out...
Not that you're helpless
But sometimes...sometimes those are the things
That being in love's about...
If I was your one and only friend
Would you run to me if somebody hurt you
Even if that somebody was me?
Yeah...
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be..."

   

Short and sweet today; this one doesn't require much of an explanation. Just a few pieces that I'm really into right now and just sort of organically meshed for me. And that's what it's all about right? Forget what everybody else is wearing...

Sometimes things just FEEL GOOD together...

I'm In Love With A Girl...

"So many people gonna say that they want you
To try to get you thinkin' they really care
But there's nothin' like the warmth of the one who
Has put in the time and you KNOW she's gonna be there
Back your border when she knows someone's crossed it
Don't let nobody put you down who you with
Take the pain of protecting your name
From the crutch to the cane to the highwire
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands...
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Gives me that feelin' every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understands ME..."

                      

There have been an overwhelming number of note-worthy new releases over the past couple of weeks. So with my final exams and semester finally over, I'm excited that I'll have more time for styling and pairing. 75% of the time I'm wearing skin made by my husband for our brand CHANGING FACEZ & SaVy SKINS, but even before Tai started making skin I was a DEVOUT Beauty Avatar Couture girl. And as they've transitioned to Glam Affair and become even more wildly popular, I've still purchased their skins that suited my shapes faithfully. "Layla" has a lovely face; she's basically "Mary's" younger, more sophisticated little sister. She looks STUNNING paired with Truth's latest release "Teshan" that I think is youthful and beautiful; the way the waves frame the face is PERFECTION...

The clothes are pretty simple, but I'm in love with every piece.

The cardigan is from Willow; I've complimented Weezy time and time again on her work and how delicate and soft her items look. The detailing on the sleeves and the pretty ruffles at the hem are really special, and I love this shade of blue. I knew immediately I wanted to contrast the cardi with the edginess of House Of Hucci's latest bikini top; the pop of animal print peeking from underneath and the strong gold neck really add interest to the look. I'm so in love with the new platform pumps from J's, and they are IDENTICAL to the new rl Louboutin's. They're simple, but sexy and versatile. And lastly, the clutch is new from LoQ; they've recently released several new bags in different sizes, and as usual the detailing and texturing is FAB...

Bass Down Low...

"If you wanna get with ME
There's some things you gotta know:
I like my beats fast
And my BASS. DOWN. LOW.
B-b-bass bass bass down low
B-bass bass down low
I like my beats fast
And my BASS. DOWN. LOW.
Drop it to the floor..."

The POWERHOUSE that is RICIELLI has awakened...

Their Spring collection boasts what I call "Glam Rock Chic" pieces that can be mixed and matched in infinite ways. Everything is sexy and edgy, but with an air of sophistication and finesse. As always, everything is available in an abundant color palette and a variety of prints. While RICIELLI is always on trend, the work feels like nothing I've seen in Second Life before. I love that Fhara and her team have their own fresh perspectives on how women want to look. You can dress reflecting your rock n' roll mood and STILL be composed and polished...thanks to RICIELLI. Women don't have to be just one thing, and this latest collection contains something for all of us. Every new release is better than the last, and they always leave me wanting MORE.

*Thank you Fhara Ricielli (Acacia) for trusting me with your work, and thank you for gifting me and showing the blog LOVE...

Underground...

"Underground, underground
Everything's heavy underground
You been kicked around
Did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
And we'll be decked
In all black...
It's industrial
Work it underground
Get down, get down, get down..."

"Underground" by Ben Folds Five

Inex Hax of Fume' is quickly becoming one of my favorite new designers. My first piece from her was a killer snakeskin mini-dress with perfectly structured shoulders and an amazing texture. I paired it with one of my go-to blazers and draped on tons of chunky gold jewelry. Even with the sexy short hemline, I felt polished. Finished. Classy. And I think that's what she does best: she designs pieces that at first glance exude sex appeal, but fit effortlessly into a wardrobe belonging to a conservative woman. Inex is making staple pieces; mini-dresses and skirts, leggings, etc. And now with this jumpsuit, (which happens to be her ready to wear offering for CFC and also includes a dress version), she is solidifying herself as being a designer to WATCH...if you're into BEING watched that is...
