The Lady in Red - Featuring Virtual Diva

Tomorrow is the last night of 2017 and I hope everyone has safe and fun plans in the mix!  The boyfriend and I are going to use our Gift Certificate for Outback and enjoy a night out for the two of us.  I know anyone with children knows how hard it can be to spend alone time together, even when the kids are 18 and 19, so we are going to take advantage of the time and relax together as the year comes to a close.  This past year has had it's ups and downs but it has been nice to have each other to face things together, instead of apart, and that has made things a little bit easier.  If you happen to have plans on Second Life for New Year's Eve, and you are still frantically looking for a gown, then do yourself and head over to Swank before they close their doors and grab this absolutely stunning new gown from Virtual Diva!


The Holy Couture Gown from Virtual Diva is an exclusive at Swank until the end of the month and then will be available in the store.  The design is stunning and the open back and daring neckline make it a sensuous dress that you just have to see to believe, so do yourself a favor and pick yours up today.  And while you are out shopping on the grid, stop by Nord Embyl'Lys and check out the last design of the year, you won't be disappointed!  The Flocons de Neige collection has an amazing HUD that allows you to choose the colors of your gems and pearls as well as to resize the pieces, which include earrings, two necklaces and bracelets, giving you a stunning and complete collection perfect for the Winter!  Happy Shopping!!!

Fashion is worth doing well - Featuring Virtual Diva, Modish, No.Match and Nord Embel'Lys

Happy Monday everyone! I hope those of you in the States have had a wonderfully long Holiday weekend, full of food and family, and for the rest of you around the world, I hope you are greeting this Monday with enthusiasm! Sometimes, that's all it takes when faced with negative things, a fake it until you make it attitude. I am living in that state at the moment as a sudden and intense flare-up of things has thrown a wrench in my plans lately, but one thing I noticed that is never effected by my mood or my health, is my sense of style and fashion. We had a relaxing and casual Thanksgiving with my family and people gave me a hard time for "dressing up" for the occasion, and I realized that it doesn't matter what the event is, I am always accused of that. I guess because I spend so much time at home and out of the public view that when I get a chance to go out, I often dress up a bit. It isn't for others, it's for me, it helps elevate my mood which can take the edge off of the pain, and after all, fashion is always worth doing well!
“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.” — Vivienne Westwood

Speaking of doing fashion well, look no further than Virtual Diva and the amazing designs created there, along with this fantastic new dress, an exclusive for the current round of Swank. The classic lines are perfect for any event, and you can wear the dress with or without the add-on, giving you two totally different looks. The new Winter collection has been released at the event and in the store so do yourself a favor and stop by the store and event today to check them out! And while out and about on the grid, take a little detour and head by Nord Embel'Lys and let your eyes be dazzled by the beautiful jewelry, including the set I have on today! The Tresor Astral set is incredibly well made with a magnificent attention to detail, making it a stop you just have to make if you haven't yet, to add well priced, gorgeous jewelry to your collection.

Feeling a bit G L A M O R OUS! - Virtual Diva @ Swank, Nord Embel'Lys, No.Match

The month of March is almost over which means this round of Swank will soon be coming to an end, and you are going to miss out on some of the most stunning and truly glamorous designs on the grid, including this gorgeous gown from Virtual Diva!


For those of you who have been following my blog for awhile, then you know I LOVE to play dress up, especially in those designs with a nod to the glamorous old Hollywood style.  This round truly appeals to that side of me and I have fallen completely in love with the Elite Gown from the creative mind behind Virtual Diva.  The gown comes in several sizes that fit most mesh bodies and the add-on for the chest has a menu upon touch to reposition, rotate and resize, making it very easy to fit and you will turn heads wherever you go.  Before my three month absence I had started to take note of the work of Nord Embel'Lys jewelry due to the high quality of the design and textures, and since my return I have been blown away by the pieces I have seen.


The La Reine Celte Set - White Gold collection includes a head circlet (not shown), crown (not shown, earrings, necklace, bracelets, and a ring, making it an incredibly versatile set that just MUST find a home in your jewelry box today.  Make sure to check out all the other amazing jewels available at the store.  You can count on every piece being incredibly well designed with wonderful textures that sparkle and shine, perfect for any moment where you get to put on a beautiful gown and head out onto the grid, you are sure to make a Hollywoodesque entrance.

The sun is setting on Rock Your Rack

Today marks the last day of Rock Your Rack which means you only have about 8 more hours to get over and grab some amazing items, at fantastic prices all for an amazing cause!  This is the 4th Annual Rock Your Rack, presented by Models Giving Back, with a portion of all sales going to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  With tons of designers offering at least two items, as well as a 10L hunt, you are sure to find some things that just jump off the hangers and into your closet!  For my final post I did something a bit different, but I got a bit behind this past week with the net being hit or miss, so to make sure I get attention to as many creators as I can, I am featuring two and their releases for the event!


This adorable Romper is exclusively available at the event from Chobani and comes in a variety of colors with matching vine accent heels.  The fit is fantastic and I just LOVE these shoes!  Toss on a long cardigan and this goes from warm sunny days, to the cool Autumn nights, making it a perfect addition to your closet!  But I haven't found many things for the event that don't need to be in your closet, or that aren't incredibly versatile, and I don't know about you, but I love shopping for a cause, because there is no guilt later!  Which means you need to check out all the items available until tonight, including this stunning new ensemble from WICKED, also an exclusive to Rock Your Rack.


The Peyton ensemble comes complete with jewelry, boots, jacket and dress, meaning you don't have to go digging through your inventory to find things to mix and match together when in a hurry, instead you can toss on this outfit and off you go to whatever your next adventure is on the grid.  I absolutely adore these stiletto booties and how they compliment the outfit perfectly, considering that most times I HATE boots with skirts, but these happen to be a great accent and a MUST HAVE this Fall so HURRY to Rock Your Rack, you won't be disappointed, unless of course you let the night slip by without a stop by the event!

Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 1 in 8 women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.

This year's 4th annual event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation providing mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need.

The 2016 Event is all together on one sim and involves 63 designers including 9 Gold sponsors:  AlaFolie, Athena Couture, Dulce Secrets, Emerald Couture, Empyrean Forge, LaVian & Co, phedora, Prism and Kultivate Magazine.  Along with these designers,  14 DJ's, 11 Live Musicians, 22 2D/3D artists, and 22 models will participate in the two week long event.

Events during the fundraiser include 9 fashion shows, 11 live musical concerts,  12 DJ dance parties, a 10L Hunt,  Two Silent Auction areas, an Art Exhibit organized by Kultivate magazine, Art Auction and 7Seas Fishing Tournaments.  Designers will be providing exclusive creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest and most popular designs donating a percentage as well. 

For a complete listing of events and more details on this year's event, please visit the website:  http://rockyourrack.wordpress.com

This year's event officially opens to the public on Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 12:00am SLT and will close at 11:59pm SLT on Sunday, October 16, 2016.

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation

The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34.  At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options.  After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.  NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need.  This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.

Feeling Brand New

As my readers know I was not a fan of mesh heads when they were first released, and after a lot of procrastinating I broke down and went on a hunt.  I fell in love with a head from LeLutka, that I have literally not taken off since I bought it, but recently I have come to find a few limitations with the head, and it had begun to bother me.  With the head not being Omega compatible, I have been missing out on a lot of makeup releases that I truly wanted, and so I had begun to think about searching out a new head that would make me happy.  This past week as I opened up my goodies from Rock Your Rack I noticed two skin releases from different designers that were not going to be compatible with my head, so the search was moved up and off I went reading all the blogs and and doing research on which heads worked with the Omega system.  Since the skins both worked with LAQ heads I decided to make this my first, and as it happens, only stop, on my shopping spree.  I was absolutely blown away by the options available and all the appliers that a girl could need.  After picking up all the necessary pieces I ran home to unpack them and try out the head, along with a fantastic new skin from Deluxe Body Factory, an exclusive to the event, and suddenly I was feeling brand new!

Brand New

Like when I close my eyes and don't even care if anyone sees me dancing
Like I can fly, and don't even think of touching the ground
Like a heartbeat skip, like an open page
Like a one way trip on an aeroplane
It's the way that I feel when I'm with you, brand new
Brand new



This gorgeous new dress is an exclusive to Rock Your Rack from Entice, and comes in a variety of colors with a HUD to mix and match making it incredibly versatile and well made with an incredible attention to detail, meaning you just have to run over and pick it up and feel good about doing it since a portion of all sales goes to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  With the jaw dropping neckline of this dress I was on a hunt to find the perfect jewelry set to enhance the look and I was so excited to unpack the new pieces from Nord Embel'Lys and discover the exact piece I was looking for.  The Perles & Quartz set is exquisitely crafted with amazing Smokey Quartz and Gold Pearls, making it a perfect set to accompany all your Autumnal color ensembles this season, and guess what?!, it's a Group Gift, so head on over to the store today and grab yours, along with several other amazing pieces, all currently offered as gifts in appreciation of joining the group, meaning you have no excuse to not have these added to your jewelry box today!  Do yourself a favor, and check out the newest releases from the top Mesh Head creators and find your brand new look, it might just put a bit of a spring in your step, I know it did mine!
