The Scientist...

"Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are...
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart...
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start...
Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart...
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard...
Oh take me back to the start...

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...

American Woman...

"American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama let me be
Don't come hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important thangs to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman
I said stay away
American woman
Listen what I say...
American woman
Get away from me
American woman
Mama let me be
Don't come knockin' around my door
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...

Cooler Than Me...

"If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't: You think you're cooler than me...
You got designer shades just to hide your face
And you wear em' around like you're cooler than me
And you never say 'hey', or remember my name
It's probably cause you think you're cooler than me..."

"Cooler Than Me" by Mike Posner

For as long as I can remember, I thought about writing a blog based on SL Fashion, but I kept making excuses as to why I shouldn't. I told myself that I wouldn't have the time to devote to it, and that the blogosphere was already too inundated with them. I thought that no one would read it and that I would be wasting my time. I'm a quiet girl, and I've found that on numerous occasions to be interpreted as me being "stuck-up." But it was when writer Miss Paola Trizomu (who has also manifested into an AMAZING MODEL AND FRIEND) interviewed me about my personal style and the season's hottest trends, that I finally decided a blog would be the best medium for me to showcase my love for fashion, music and the REMARKABLE WORK of the content creators of SL. Almost 2 months publishing the blog and well over 4,000 hits later, I'm convinced I made the right decision. I love seeing WELL-DRESSED women that take PRIDE in their avatars. And if you can pull up my blog and find an item or store that you didn't know about before, then I feel like I'm not wasting my time. Thank you for ALL THE NOTECARDS AND IM'S IN-WORLD, AND COMMENTS HERE ON THE BLOG. The love and support I've received since I started has been overwhelming, and I'm grateful for every hit. If you see me around, please say hello. If you want the landmark to something in a post, hit me up in-world. Or if you ever just need somebody to talk to, I'm a really good listener. I'm quiet, but NEVER UNAPPROACHABLE...
