Happy Feelings...

"I've got myself
To remind me of love
My mind and my heart
I believe in love
And these happy feelings
I'll spread them all over the world
From deep in my soul
I wish you happy feelings
Happy feelings...
I've seen the light
Watched it shine down on me
I'm gonna spread my wings yeah
And I'm gonna tell all I see..."

                     

Another look that really makes me feel HAPPY...

And as per usual, it all started with the bag. The FLESHTONE staff sent over these EXQUISITE "Kelly Saddle Bags" and I literally rezzed and cammed them for about ten minutes. Do you see the texture? I mean, how realistic can you get? The hardware is available in both silver and gold finishes, but of course I went with the latter. They are the PERFECT scale; they aren't too big, and they aren't too small. The "Kelly's"are most definitely a must have...

And my girl Viollette from [bellballs] sent over these 'Caged Rings' that I'm really feeling right now; I love bold, statement jewelry that's unique and one of a kind. Each ring has a different bird inside, and the cage is done in a beautiful burnished gold. I don't believe I've ever seen rings like this in SL before...have you? Vio is always making pieces that make me SMILE...

The skirt is new from Zaara, a brand that's always been very near and dear to my heart. I love these mini-skirts with the delicate ruffles, they feel like a bit of a departure from her normal aesthetic and they're perfect for spring. I was also looking for a reason to rock this new fedora from {mon tissu}, and all the green tones really lend themselves nicely to eachother. Showing off new jewelry and glasses from Indy&Co. and Alphavillain respectively, and all the poses in this post are by my talented friend Argnit Igaly from Agapee Poses. Thank you Argnit for gifting me and showing the blog LOVE...

Fly Above...

"I'm so comfortable in the skin I'm in
I'm secure about WHO I AM
So you can go ahead and talk all you wanna
I built up a shell
And it's HARD and it's ARMORED...
It seems like every step I take
The drama comes along with the bread I cake up
But you ain't doin' NOTHIN' if you don't have haters
So I WELCOME YOU to do what's in your nature...
I'm like a jet airplane
Way too high to hear you throwin' salt on my name
I know I'm not the only one
If people love to hate you
Go and throw your hands up..."

                      

I'm not going to PREACH but...

I think the "What's Your Digits" initiative started by Strawberry is long overdue. I love that so many of us are CONFIDENT and SECURE enough in our personal styles and abilities here in-world, that we can share and compare our preferences with fellow bloggers and residents. I know I'm taller than everybody else. I know I'm curvier than alot of other avatars. The same goes for my RL self; I'm 5'9 barefoot and well over 6 feet in heels. When I was growing up I was called words like "lanky" and "mutt." Now, I FEEL I'm STATUESQUE and EXOTIC. I don't look like anybody else...and that's JUST the way I like it.

We are ALL unique...and we are ALL FLY...

And you know who ELSE I think is unique and fly...?

Viollette Vyper of [bellballs].

She doesn't care what anyone else's design aesthetic is. She isn't playing "follow the leader" like some people unfortunately do. V. makes pieces that SHE loves and that mean something to HER. Everything has a touch of whimsy to it; all of her items make me SMILE. She's working on a KILLER new sim that'll be open to the public soon. I assure you I will post a LM and the info on the grand opening as soon as she gives me the go-ahead. She's been working on some new jewelry too...Check out the ADORABLE peacock feather earrings and necklace set I'm wearing above, and the absolutely CHARMING mustache necklace I'm wearing below...

SING...Project FUR Japan: Part 1

"Sing it out
Boy they're gonna SELL what tomorrow needs...
Now sing it out
Girl before they KILL what tomorrow brings...
You've got to make a choice
If the music drowns you out...
And raise your voice
Every single time they try and shut your mouth...
Sing it for the boys
Sing it for the girls
Every time that you lose it
Sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it til' you're nuts
Sing it out for the one's that'll HATE your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing it out for the ones that you left behind
Sing it for the WORLD
SING IT FOR THE WORLD..."

     

It never ceases to amaze me how GENEROUS and PHILANTHROPIC the content creators and fashion industry here in Second Life can be. I've been to more charitable fundraising events here than I can count,  but NONE have impressed me like Project FUR Japan. This is by far the most diversified group of designers ever assembled for a cause; it just goes to show that one of the most universal connections we have all over the globe is an UNWAVERING love for animals and their protection. 100% of all proceeds raised at Project FUR Japan will be donated to Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (JEARS). This group is comprised of three private No-Kill animal welfare organizations in Japan; HEART-Tokushima, Animal Friends Niigata and Japan Cat Network. No animals rescued by JEARS will be surrendered to Animal Control (where they would be at risk for euthanasia after three days) under any circumstance. They rescue, reunite and rehome lost and abandoned animals. And now more than ever, THEY NEED OUR HELP!

How cute is this little guy? This is an adorable wolf pup available at Project FUR Japan, whom I fell in love with at first sight. He has human holds and the most adorable little face I've ever seen. There are so many amazing, out of the ordinary finds at this event. While my "MATERIAL GIRLS" will be more than happy with the high fashion pieces, there's definitely something here for EVERYBODY. Ladies, men, and even kids items are represented. This is a DYNAMIC event for the ENTIRE SL COMMUNITY.
The always gracious team behind the LeLutka machine generously donated the top-notch sim for the event. And what surprised me the most was that while it was PACKED with shoppers, I experienced ZERO LAG. How rare is that? The sim will be open for 2-3 weeks collecting donations for this more than worthy cause.  For more information about Project FUR Japan:
                                You may view the promo video HERE.
           You may also visit the Project FUR Japan website HERE.
 And last but not least, PLEASE VISIT Project FUR Japan HERE!

This GORGEOUS hair is by one of my all-time favorite brands Magika. It's called "Sophie: Coontail Edition", and I think it's really unique and sexy.

Ines Hax for Peqe's Project FUR Japan offering is FABULOUS. This short, structural number is simply called "Project Fur" and it is precisely what we've all come to EXPECT from her: Sexy, sophisticated and ON-TREND...

Isn't the rouching and draping on this dress nice? I was impressed by new-to-me designers 90 degrees and their enticing"Crimped Ruby" set. It comes complete with a matching red thong; this is sexy clubwear at it's FINEST...

These lace up high heeled boots are highly detailed and come in both black and white versions for the price of one. Titled "Strut" by .:NERDOSAURAUS:., these stilettos will make you do just that...

Last but by no means least, this DELICIOUS lingerie set is by one of my favorite designers, Brutus Martinek for PDIDDLE. I'm ALWAYS a sucker for her lingerie, and I'm ALWAYS a sucker for nicely textured animal prints. This set feels like it was made ESPECIALLY for me. And I can GUARANTEE that you'll find something at Project FUR Japan that feels like it was especially made for YOU. Don't miss THE most important charity event of the Spring!!!

Labels Or Love...**UNITED** The ULTIMATE Style Card Event...

"I guess I'm supercalifragisexy
Nothin' to be playin' with
I love him hate him
Kiss him diss him
Try and walk a mile in MY kicks
Love's like a runway

No emotional baggage
Just big bags filled with Dior...
Love's like a runway
So what's all the fussing for
Let's stop chasing those boys
And shop some more..."

This beautiful gown was created by one of our most recently added **UNITED** designers: PhAnToM Ixtar for the label GIZZA. Colorful and full of movement, this dress is sure to get you noticed at your next event. It's exquisitely crafted and comes with floral accents for both your hip and hair. GIZZA is filled wall to wall with beautiful gowns, fun casual and clubwear, menswear, and more. The hair is one of my all time favorites by **UNITED** designer Mirja Mills for EMO-tions. Mirja makes such unique, distinctive hair; hair that doesn't look quite like anyone else's and makes you feel special everytime you put it on. Lastly, the jewelry is from Sonatta Morales VHC. Great pearl sets are difficult to find in SL, and this one is one of the lovliest I've seen. I'm really enjoying styling with the work of our **UNITED** designers, and I'm growing more and more anxious to see what they all have up their sleeves for this summer's most exciting fashion event and styling competition...

Misery Business...

"I'm in the business of misery
Let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass
It's tickin' like a clock
It's a matter of time
Before we all run out
When I thought he was mine
She caught him by the mouth...
I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie
He was the only one for me
Two weeks and we caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile...
Whoa...I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa...It was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause' I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause' God it just feels SO...
It just feels SO good..."

Used by you...

Talented new designers breathe energy and excitement into our SL fashion world. I love to discover new brands with fresh perspectives and design aesthetics.

And when Gisele Mubble, visionary behind the brand spanking new label

F L E S H T O N E invited me into her exclusive bloggers group, I was honored...

 F L E S H T O N E  boasts an array of STATEMENT pieces; the type of pieces that SWEET FASHIONISTA DREAMS ARE BUILT AROUND. Jackets and mini-dresses, shirts and EXQUISITE clutch bags. The shoes are STUNNERS and the fur stoles feel like they were made just for me.  I love that Gisele is designing what she loves; animal prints and bold colors show up all throughout the line. Her work is sleek and sexy, with garments posing endless possibilites to mix, match and style.  You'll be hard pressed not to leave with something after your first visit to F L E S H T O N E. Gisele: Thank you for trusting me with your work and for doing what you do. I will ALWAYS support and rep for your brand...

Brand New...

"This here is on some truthful sh*t
Seems like everything I do
You're used to it
And I hate hearing stories
Bout' who you been with
It's when I gotta hide
What I'm feelin' inside
So you still think I'm confident
And damn...is this gonna last?
You're up on a pedestal
Are we movin' too fast?
Feel like I'm in
Crazy competition with the past
That's why I gotta ask...
Is anything I'm doin' brand new...?"

Wonderwall...

"Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow
Realized what you've got to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now...
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now...
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you
But I don't know how...
Cause' maybe...
You're gonna be the one that saves me...
And after all...
You're my wonderwall...

Signed Sincerely...

"I'll never be picture perfect Beyonce'
Fly like J.Lo
Or singin' 'Baby' like Shanti'
I barely comb my hair
Yeah that's on a good day
I don't care what the hood say...
I aint' street like Keyshia
Aint never tried to be
And I got soul in my soul
But not quite like Mary
Aint' nothin' really R&B about me
And I said bump what the hood say...
I'm sorry I aint' in the Benz's in my videos
I'm sorry I aint' even really tryin' to match my clothes
I can tell you paid a figure for McQueen digs
But I can also tell you who the king dealer is
And I got knowledge if you really wanna talk about it
No I don't dress the part just to walk around it
So I'm writing this letter to the industry
It says 'F*CK YOU' signed: Sincerely ME
Aww damn...here we go again
Solo SaVy can you tone it down?
Be more like them?
But everything I'm NOT
Makes me everything I AM..."

                       
 

"Fashion For Life" started today, and as soon as the Bourke White sim opened I BOLTED to the Willow booth. Weezy Warwillow is one of my favorite content creators, and I always look forward to new and exclusive pieces from her. I grabbed this SUPERBLY constructed wrap dress and her EXQUISITE beaded cardigan (which I'll be showing you in a near-future post.) I love how highly detailed and REAL her garments look. If the RL fashion brands 'Laura Ashley' and 'The Gap' merged and brought a brand to SL, they would offer the design aesthetic of Willow. Weezy is another of those KEY designers that isn't trying to get rich selling her work; it's clear that she LOVES what she does, and it's more and more obvious with every piece she constructs. The hair I'm wearing is from [kik], and in the hour or so I wore it around FFL I was asked about it 3 separate times. It's quite lovely, just what I needed to showcase my new KILLER headpiece from NHA!, a newer shop boasting SUERIOR accessories and jewelry. And in closing, let me take the opportunity to thank riri bazar and lisbeth gummibaum @ 'HATE ME AND EAT ME' for offering and sending me TONS of makeup and poses. All poses in this post are their work and I'm ETERNALLY grateful for their recognition, generousity and LOVE. It makes me feel so good to know that my often "left field" stylings are appreciated, and that it's still chic to be an INDIVIDUAL...

American Woman...

Don't wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes..."

                       

I'm not a very "trendy" person. It's never been of much importance to me what anybody else is wearing or how they wear it. I prefer classic, timeless garments that never go out of style. I'm all about building a wardrobe arsenol filled with high-quality, unique staple pieces that are strong both independently and cohesively amongst the other items in my closet. While everyone still seems to be caught up in the "skinny jeggings" craze, I've been enjoying wide leg jeans and trousers as we move into Spring. The ones I'm wearing today are perhaps my absolute favorite in SL thus far. While my others from Blaze, LeLutka and Frozen Turquoise Valentine are nice, these brand new ones from FAB PONY are exactly what I've been waiting for. 70's inspired and high-waisted; they're available in several different washes and affordably priced.

For me, transitioning into Spring also means a fresher, lighter color palette. And some of my favorite designers obviously feel the same as I do, since there are so many beautiful new releases indicative of that line of thinking. Azure Electricteeth launched her highly anticipated new line -La Viere- over the weekend, and it's overflowing with the most delicate, feminine, colorful looks you've ever seen. The blouse I'm wearing is part of her first drop, and can be worn with or without the flirty hem ruffle and cap sleeves. The ever popular {mon tissu} recently added to their brand with fresh, lovely pieces that are perfect for spring. This shrug is highly detailed and versatile; you'll want to throw it on over your favorite tank for a casual look as well as a sexy mini-dress to add polish.

And it's not often that I rave about a skin that wasn't made by my husband Tairo (I love you baby=), but when even HE comments on how amazing someone else's work is, I know it's blogworthy. This skin is brand new from Tuli called "Tanya" and it's one of the loveliest I've seen as of late. The features are delicate, the body is shaded immaculately, and the eyeshadow, lip and cleavage options are plentiful. The hair is limited edition by Exile for the Garden City Relief event, all proceeds being donated to The New Zealand Red Cross. Appropriately named "Hope", it's beautifully textured and frames the face to perfection. Lastly, the shoes are from [bellballs] , currently one of my absolute favorite brands. I want to take a moment to thank Viollette Vyper, mastermind behind the brand, for showing me so much love and inviting me to her super-exclusive OFFICIAL BLOGGERS LIST. Thank you so much V. for your kind words, support and showing me LOVE. I will ALWAYS sing your praises and be in your corner...
