When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you."

Sometimes all it takes is one little spark to ignite the combustible fuse of imagination. Today, I found that spark with TO. Kishki's Ella Dress. As soon as I say it I thought....Oh,there you are. I really couldn't resist buying it for this look specifically. It's a warrior goddess type dress like one that you would think an Athena would wear. TO. Kishki's design is available in 12 different colors so if you do decide to purchase this dress there are several options to suit your styling needs. Each dress is individually priced at 99L or if you desire a fat pack you can buy the whole lot for 445L.

"Losing him was blue like I'd never known.......Missing him was dark grey all alone.....Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met.....But loving him was red......Loving him was red" Red-Taylor Swift

With Valentine's day approaching next month, I decided to get the jump and start blogging all the pretty hues of red, white and pink....cause you know that's the traditional colors that we use to express Amore or Love. Today's look is an homage to cupid, if you notice I'm wearing wings.

During a recent trip to Uber I was twitterpated, by Paper Arrow's, breezy dress. I fell so hard for this dress that actually ended up buying it in several different colors, because it's so cute...how could I not. Some of the great features about Paper's Arrow's dress is that  you can customize the top portion which means a total of 20 different color options. Personally tend to stick to a monochromatic look from head to toe, but with Paper Arrow's, breezy dress there are.....options for styling. One of the things I enjoy the most about this dress is the smooth texture that give the illusion of silk or softness. Breezy truly does live up to it's name because it feels as if it would fly off on it's own. Paper Arrow is a new store to me, but will be one that I am visiting more often.

Now, I want to point attention to the feet. Candy Doll, created a set of shoes that were available for the Epiphany Gacha Event. Now, I had to say...I had shoe envy, which is why I bought these shoes. It seemed like all my friends had the fashion jump and were sporting them weeks before I jumped on board. CandyDoll's shoes come complete with a multi-color changing hud. 6 aspects of this wedge can be changed and customized to match almost any outfit.

MaRam Aries

I'm having a bit of fun with today's look MaRam Aries. I visited the Zodiac Event and picked up some really cute items for today's post.

First off, The cute Sheepies from Adore and Abhor are my absolute favorite out of the collection. The Sheepies are available as a Gacha, each play will cost 50L but they are totally worth it.

Next, I stalked over to Boom's area and picked up a set of "I am Aries" ram horns. I decided upon Gold, however, there are many several color options for you to choose from. The, "I am Aries" set a unisex design and is available with three options, 1) horns alone 2) mask 3) horns and mask.

Sitting pretty right next to Boom's sale kiosk is !Bang poses. I picked up the overcome pose series for today's post. There are two pose sets available optimistic and overcome for your buying pleasure.

I'm definitely not  finished with my Zodiac shopping, but I had to put together this look and showcase these cute items first.

Not to make fun of myself or anything, but while working on this blog post I had a bit of a flash back to the Power Rangers. I think my look resembles the Villain, Rita. ha ha ha ha

Candied Pop Star

 

She sings so sweetly, her voice is like candy. She's the candied Pop Star. 

Today is the last day for the Pop star event at my attic located on The Deck sim. All items at this event are in the theme of Pop Stars. Items are priced very economically for those that are looking to stretch their lindens. I picked up a couple of dresses from the Pop Princess dress line created by Anessa Stien of DCNY. Each Pop Princess dress is mesh and has several sizing options available both for the top and bottom portions. What I enjoy most about this dress is the mix and match ability. Each dress can be worn as a separate shirt or skirt in combination with other designs. 

Hurry on in to The Attic and pick up your Pop Star items before the event closes.

Wrath

Recently, in my blog posts I've been showcasing PXL creations' 7 sin skin line. This set of skins is available in a Gacha form a 99L a play. Wrath (shown above) is one of my favorites out of this skin line. While I was trying to pull together a look I decided to use Wrath to revamp my profile photo. There are so many thing I love about Wrath; however, if I had to give my favorite feature I would have to say the rich deep glossy lip color is a major win. It was the feature that won me over completely. If you have never had the opportunity to wear a PXL skin I would highly advise you to stop into the shop and play the Gacha machine. Currently PXL creations has three female Gacha skin lines available for play and one male skin line. The skin line variety in style from fantasy, futuristic, beauty.

There is one final new item that I'd like to draw your attention to, BOOM has recently released the Precious Bow Choker. This choker is ideal for hiding mesh head seems. The Precious Choker is available in both a regular and scripted collar version. There are so many color options available (33 in total) that finding your perfect choker is as simple as pointing and clicking.

Scenic Summer

With my summer vacation drawing to a close I think it's time to get back into the swing of blogging. I hate when I let things fall to the side. Today's post is about the color Astronaut Blue, It's week number 28 of Luna's 52 weeks of color challenge. Next color challenge will be Persian Rose.

Originally I wanted to pull together a look that was sort of a Barberella type, (you know Sexy Space Vixen look) but when I found out about the new release from Boom I just had to showcase their new Miami Linens because they are utterly fabulous. Available in over 35 color options, Boom has what seems like the entire color spectrum covered. The Miami Linens are 100% mesh and utilize the standard sizing method which means even some Gents might find these trousers to be a perfect fit. As always when selecting a new set of clothes you will want to pick up a demo and stop by your virtual dressing room to make sure you get a good fit. Remember you can always stop by Boom on the SLMarketplace. I think the Miami Linen Trousers from Boom are a perfect transition piece for Summer/Fall.

I wanted to slip this shot in, which highlights the Astronaut Blue color better. I think it's cute because of the bubble gum. :) Pop

Vacation Time

Summer is here which means it's time to pack up your suitcase and head to the beach for some much needed rest and relaxation. For me planning seems to be the hardest part of any vacation. Deciding what to wear, what to bring and where to go. It's so stressful, but I guess that's the price to pay when your taking a week off.

Since we're planning a beach vacation I knew packing a swimsuit or several swimsuits would be necessary. Luckily, Boom has just released "Ellio", a new set of mix and match bikini separates. So I knew I would be packing these cuties in my inventory. "Ellio" is 256 mix and match separate bikini pieces so choosing from the entire set and picking only one bikini was going to be tough. In the end I choose a couple of bikini sets because when I purchased a full set I received a small discount. (Gotta love a bargain.) One thing I'd like to mention is each bikini set has tin-table tan lines included which help show off your glorious time on the beach and all the hard work you did on your tan.

Once we arrived at our beachy destination I got all dolled up ready to relax and play in my little Oasis, but wouldn't you know I had a little accident tripped and fell off my swing. Darn my klutzy nature. I think I'll just spend the rest of my vacation under an umbrella with a drink in my hand.

"Summer Skin"

With temperatures rising it seems summer is already starting to leave it's mark upon us. It's time to break out those shorts, halters and sandals and have some fun in the sun! Roslin Petion of 5th and Oxford is answering the call with her latest release. High-wasted shorts, halter tops and high-wasted pencil skirts (not shown), have a retro... not outdated feeling to them. This collection is casual, beautifully crafted and adds a new twist to a summer staple.

 So do you want to know what my favorite part of this outfit? It's the buttons on the shorts. I love where they are positioned along the front of the Seaside Sweetie Shorts. The shading and seams also make for a really great look adding depth and a sense of realism to this design. I'm also fan of the halter top back. Personally I think a woman's back is a very sexy part of her body, much more than other areas. The right top can really embellish this area while leaving something to the imagination. Finding the right skin is also essential, which is why I choose to wear Exodi for this look.
