One afternoon, taking a break from reading:

I am just adoring the cold front that recently came through my hometown. I've been bundled up by the fire reading all day. It's inspired me to continue dressing in lots of layers in SL. I think I've decided to just continue wearing jackets throughout the summer in SL.. afterall, fashion is all about being different :)

Now I show off a little fun comfy and fashionable number. I took this look straight to the bookstore where I shot these pics. First off the bag, I thought this bag was perfect to carry my favorite book. It is the everyday tote by ETD. Hurry over and grab it while everything is on sale. You can't beat the prices on the fatpacks right now. And the AO with the bag is amazing. All the shots I took were using the AO built in to the bag. It's not my usual walk and stand, but I really do enjoy it. I kept extra warm in the plush winter jacket by Ibizarre which I found in their discount outlet store. Again, great price and this jacket is so well made. Everyone has been blogging the yeti jacket from Muism, but if that is out of your price range than the Ibizarre jacket is a perfect substitute. Shopping list follows below! :)

Grrr...I'm a tiger (well, leopard)

I decided to show off my extra long legs one last time before the cool breeze decides to remain with me until next spring. I chose the ultra short and yet still chic Dead Naga skirt from Kyoot Army. This is the first item I bought from KA before I was hooked. It was a bit windy out so I covered up with the Short Leather Jacket from Ce Cubic Effect. It's sculpty, has great detail, and is oh so warm. The only way I can show off my legs is with stiletto heels. And the only stiletto heels that are worth wearing are from Stiletto Moody. These shoes definately make me feel like a woman!

Je T’aime Tres Jolie!

I walked into Tres Jolie and sashayed out a new woman! Ladies, this shopping experience is top notch and truly the definition of high fashion. lota Ultsch takes care of her customers like the VIPs we know we all are. She helped me adjust all my clothing perfectly and even recommended the perfect pair of shoes from Maitreya to go with my new outfit. For the first time while fashion shopping in SL everyone in the store was talking and joking and it was so great and positive! I am in love with lota and Tres Jolie!

Le Sine en Aubergine is a lovely deep, rich shade of purple or eggplant if you will. And when I walk, my bow and skirt attachment gently glide in the wind. Oh.. it's so lucscious I truly am running out of words. Just go and shop at Tres Jolie it's a must and your clothing collection is lost without some of her pieces which are true works of art!

I wanted to keep all my attachments to a minimum so I stuck with my Monroe piercing (a freebie from Hair Fair) which I haven't been able to take off and a bracelet and earrings from Shiny Things.

Shoes – Slinky Stilettos – Grape, Maitreya

Pretty in Punch

Ok, I'll just say I'm a horrible writer lately. I got this lovely outfit nearly a month ago as a group special. I fell in love, and I forgot to blog it. I'm a huge fan of Punch Drunk and when the notice went out for this dress I had to have it. The fabric texture is pure yumminess, and don't get me started on how this dress flows.. It's casual and free and divine! I went with accessories from Mezzo and Spoon.
OK... I'm horrible, but all these blogs are going to be quick and easy as I ride out a hurricane while i have power.

Cowgirl Mystique

It happens often in fashion that you plan your outfit around your amazing accessories. Rarely is your accessory larger than you. The moment I saw this horse from AKK Horse Ranch I bought him. He's a Fresian, and he has flexi long hair just like me. I waited to ride him until I found the perfect outfit. The detail of this horse is superior and I knew the detail needed to be parallel in my clothing of choice. Luckily I had a great outfit from Last Call that I got for the amazing price of 300L before it closed. Last Call closing was a sad day for many of us. The detail on the jacket is superb. All of their clothing was superb. Across the street from Last Call you could find Celestial Studios, where I purchased my hair. I love love love buying hair with the hat already attached. It takes my battle of matching a hair with a hat away...and my hair flows through the air as I speed through the trails on my horse.
