Are You Gonna Be My Girl...

"Well it's a 1, 2, 3
Take my hand
And come with me
Because you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine...
I said you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine...
Oh 4, 5, 6
C'mon and get your kicks
Now you don't need no money
When you look like that do ya' honey...
Big black boots...
Long Blonde hair...
She's so sweet with that
Get back stare...
Well I could see you home with me
But you are with another man yeah...
I know we aint' got much to say
Before I let you get away yeah...
I said are you gonna be my girl...?



                            

Ahh...sweet September... And although it isn't the start of Autumn proper, for me it signals that it's merely around the corner. Fall has always been my absolute FAVORITE season, most likely because it's traditionally perfect weather for the fashionista in me. It's time to bring out the boots, jackets, scarves and knit hats from storage; today's post boasts a little of all of the above. The jacket is really just a few prims from an amazing Aoharu trench, and worn cropped I can really show off the pretty waistline the vintage LeeZu skirt adds to the look. I love the way this scarf from CASHMERE sort of effortlessly drapes; it's similar to my favorite RL Coach scarf that I wear all the time. And while I do love my earth tones, a pop of color makes Fall styling more special; the sky blue accents are unexpected but just work.

Some key accessories finish my modern, Autumn hipster look:

One of the new beanies from Mushie, a chunky bangle from Metronome, and a timeless bag and thigh-high boots from Orta and J's, respectively...

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...
