"Put your Records" on With Sixty Nine

Well this week I attempted to blog using color as an emphasis. I totally failed and managed to only post a total of three. Booo. Bad Blogger. I did; however, manage to find some pretty hair from Sixty Nine. Sixty Nine has released a total of Six new hairs. It seems there are some changes that have taken place with the new release. The first thing I noticed was the texture of the hair. I'm really enjoying the new colors that are available. The browns are more on the natural side of the color spectrum. Another great feature is the resize script that is available in the hair. No more clicking and and sorting the prim hair any longer. With the resize script adjusting your hair is a total breeze.

Today's final color post of the week is Green. When ever sporting this color I tend to feel calmer, relaxed. The color just has an effect on me that's soothing to my soul. When pulling this look together I started with this uber cute Clingy Tunic Dress-Eucalyptus from Kyoot. For me this dress had a bit too much cleavage and I decided to pair under it W&B Lismore Drop Waisted Maxi in White. Next was finding a Skin that matched my color preference, which was extremely easy, with L. Fauna group gift Faberge. For accessories I choose Zarra's Kashiti bobble ring (a recent favorite) and AddiCt's Treasured Peacock Necklace. The final piece was the shopping bag from Sixty Nine, which was totally cute and picture worthy.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down

Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Wind It Up!

Today's color is all about Gold. Shiny and a coveted piece of metal, this hue is one that will not only get you noticed but suggest grandeur, almost like, "Hey look at me I'm fancy". When I first tried on this gold number my mind went strait to Una Muñeca. (or doll for those that do not speak Spanish)
 SySy's Lana in Gold, is only available as a SLDD exclusive and is available for the entire month of May. To make my Muñeca look I choose Dutch Touch's skin, MaAn, which I think brings a doll like touch when pairing with the feather eyelashes. Finally is the Wind-up key, I've always been a big fan of the toys that you wind up to create action. Something about the mechanical turning and watching the toy dance, flip or walk brings a big smile to my face. Now for the look......

The Look-Una Muñeca

This is the key that makes us wind up
When the beat comes on, the girls all line up
And the boys all look, but no, they can't touch
But the girls want to know why the boys like us so much-Gwen Stefani

Saturday Morning

It's Saturday which mean it's time to recap the little "look of the day", experiment I had attempted this week. I'm choosing to consider this as a blogging WIN rather than fail. My normal blogging has been once a week twice at tops; however, this week I pushed a little more and managed to get 5 posts out of 7 and you know what? I'm kinda proud. (those two days SL was wonky really threw me off and pushed me back.) I have decided that I really like Look of the Days more because they allow me to mix and match several designers at once. I loved the challenge of coming up with a different look each day, editing photos and writing a bit. I hope that next week I can keep up with the record I set this week, perhaps exceed it. After all anything is possible ;)

On to the look...

Friday I'm in Love


My time does fly, I can't believe it's already Friday. Today's look all started with the hair. It became an instant favorite and totally made me swoon. It's from Maitreya, and believe it or not. It's my first hair from this store. The top is from Cubic Effect and was on my shopping wish list since it's release, I finally took the time and Lindens to purchase.. (Random question.Do you keep a shopping wish list?) After finding the top and hair picking out jeans became very easy. I love Surf Co jeans..Hard. To me they are just perfect. Finally the best boots on the grid Bax boots to complete my outfit. The accessories were from bits I had saved in my inventory. Please look at full credits at the bottom for a complete store listing.

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too

It's Friday, I'm in love


Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love


Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate.-The Cure

Tuesday Morning


Nylon Outfitters is a store I discovered within the first few months of my SL journey. It was the first store that I ever saw that had hand drawn clothes, which is something I really admire. Tucked on a boardwalk sim that was Tableau, I thought Nylon's clothing were the best on the grid. I saved for weeks camping until I finally managed to purchase my first NO designs.  I still have my first purchases BTW, they rarely are worn but are a precious part of my SL inventory. Now on for the look of the day.

Please don't drive me home tonight

Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna go
Tuesday morning
In the dark
I was finding out

Manic Monday

 So I realize it's a little late, but here is Monday's Look of the day. It started with this incredible offer from SLDD. Sunday Zarra offered this exclusive purple Syona Kurta top. It's one of the latest releases Zaara has available in store. Now if you haven't shopped at Zarra before, you defiantly have been missing out. Zarra's style is hard to describe. It's eclectic, funky, indie, unique, ethnic. The texture colors are deep, rich vibrant colors designed with details that can make any girls knees weak. The shop is beautiful in it's design and makes for some great photo locations. In all Zarra is an A++ store. Now for the rest of the look.
