Spectrum

When we first came here,
We were cold and we were clear,
With no colours on our skin,
We were light and paper-thin.

And when we first came here,
We were cold and we were clear,
With no colours on our skin,
'Till you let the spectrum in.

Say my name,
And every colour illuminates,
We are shining,
And we'll never be afraid again.

AFI Designs newest release for Sneak Peek transported me to another time and place; one of brilliant colours and dancing lights.  The Charmant gown and matching accessories is a truly stunning design that didn't break or stretch as I moved or posed.  The detailing on the bodice is exquisite as are the wings, which look like they are dotted by stars.  The antique gold tone of the gown means you can accessorize with either silver or gold, as both mix well with the embellishments on the gown as well.  Zuri Rayna has released two gorgeous jewelry collections for this round of Sneak Peek, which I have been wearing quite a lot lately.  The Aurora sets are controllable upon touch and have a wide variety of metals and stones to choose from, as well as the option to turn the "bling" off.  Which of course makes it a wonderful addition to any jewelry box, since you can wear them at night as well as during the day.

She's Gone Retro!

As the clock was running down to when Collabor88 was closing its doors, I made a last minute dash since I had somehow managed to not make it in the whole month of May.  Very quickly I discovered a very retro '50's inspired round.  If you happen to see this before the 8th then run in and grab yourself a few pretties, if not, then visit the stores to see if they have the items up for sale yet!  As soon as I spotted this tied shirt and pants combo from Tee*fy I knew exactly the outfit I would be creating!  The shirt fits amazingly well, and I LOVE the very classic cut of these pants which reminded me of the pictures I have of my mother back in the day.

Dark Coquet

Ever have one of those shopping days where you were just overwhelmed with the amount of things you wanted or *cringes* went ahead and bought?  *coughs*  This post is a showcase of a few of my favorite finds at the most recent of round of events on the grid.  First and foremost, to Coquet... The Zen Sundress is available at FaMEshed right now, and has a HUD giving you four color choices.  All of them are expertly textured with wonderful detail.  The color choices are perfect for Spring and Summer!  Matched with these AMAZING shoes from Emporium found at the Dark Style Fair, this is a perfect garden party dress.  The Mobscene Heels come with a HUD with an amazing 20 color choices, and 2 different selcetions for the soles to match pretty much anything and everything in your closet.

L'Accessoires has become a place I dread and love going to, mainly because I know I will leave with an empty pocket book!  The Swirl Ring by Eclectica comes in two color combinations, but that is not the only option for this ring....  Touch the ring to pull up a menu for almost all of the stones and diamonds and metals on the ring itself.  I was pleasantly surprised with this feature and have fallen in love with this ring.  The fit is perfect, and the resizer helps as well.  !Lybra! also has this cute Spring/Summer jewelry set in 3 different color options at the event, so do yourself a favor and go check out all the wonderful accessories available!

I am once again blown away by the fact that I haven't found anything made by Coquet that I didn't love, and that was not wonderfully crafted.  I am very critical, and often times, will buy many more pieces than I showcase, due in part to their being some sort of issue with the outfit.  I wish the top of this dress was built for a larger chest, but compared to others, it was quite easy to fit.  If you have a love for flirty, soft, romantic fashions with great textures and color combinations, then go visit Coquet, you will not be disappointed!

Happy shopping!  Never forget to say I love you to those who matter, for tomorrow may be to late.   Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your week!

Essentials at *COCO*

On one of my recent aimlessly wandering shopping trips in SL I stumbled into *COCO*.  Now, first things first... The mix of industrial, empty warehouse with their high fashion displays struck me as quite genius.  No time spent looking at the scenery or architecture, it is ALL about the clothes!

I am going to mention the freebies here because there are about 50 of them, and while most are not mesh, there are some nice staple pieces for everyone's wardrobe.  Fedora hats, boots, shoes, tanks, shirts, you name it, it is on the large wall in the rear of the store.

 Now, those are the gifts for all, the group gifts are a whole other wall and you can find a few pieces in this group as well.  So before even wandering up and down the aisles of displays, I had added quite a few things to my over stuffed closet.

I love outfits created to go together, it is easy... However, having good quality pieces is sometimes more important than having several different complete outfits.  The perfect basic t-shirt, Boho skirt, short pleated skirt, or tank with options of being tucked in or not, these are things I know I search for all the time.  And at *COCO* I was pleasantly surprised to find those items!   I chose two outfits that portray the versatile and undeniable style of *COCO*.
 

As the weather starts to clear, those legs of ours start to come out of hiding.  This pleated skirt is expertly textured and the mesh fits perfectly.  It comes in several colors and is one of my favorite finds, since it can be matched with a variety of outfits.

If you haven't had a chance to stop by this round of Kustom9, you really should.  I have picked up several pieces from there to mix and match and one of my favorite picks has to be the Recherche Heels from Mango Cheeks.  Featured here are the dark, in Slate.  They are not too blue, or grey, nor are they too dark.  I found them to go quite well with several different dark colors.

I have a confession to make, when I say wanderings, I really do mean that I go on adventures with no specific destination in mind and just roam around malls and shopping sims to see what I can find.  On a recent trip with a friend I literally stumbled into M.O.C.K Cosmetics and immediately found a new favorite place for makeup.  On the counter, is a box containing a gift for Easter, and the number 3 in the pack is what I am wearing here.  The attention to detail on the eyes here is amazing, and I will be returning soon to pick myself up a few more items.

This  dress from *COCO* has exquisite lace details that really cannot truly be appreciated until it is on the body.  The flirty flare of the skirt, and the hint at the chemise beneath being slightly off the shoulders, makes this dress very alluring.  Whether you want to dress it up, as I decided to here, or dress it down, it is a perfect Spring and Summer dress.  I am chomping at the bit for more shoes from Nineteen Ninety Two, and I know there are some at the events this month, but I have yet to run across them.  The Leighton sandals have a great heel and come in quite a few colors.and they don't come across as being a "dressy" shoe per se.  My watch and bracelet combo comes from Mandala and though a bit pricey, it is well worth the close to $700L.  I am wearing the complete version, in leather, but you can pick and choose how many bracelets you want to wear with it, or simply just the watch.
