The perfect Autumn ensemble - Featuring Ashmoot, and Desmonia

If you have ever spent any time in the mountains of Arizona in the Fall, then you know how amazingly beautiful it can be, and how temperamental the weather is as well. The skies are crystal blue, with gorgeous white, fluffy clouds and the temperatures rise into the 70's during the day, while the evenings are dotted with campfires and bonfires, the smell of smoke in the air, sweaters and temps that dive into the 30's. As you can guess, getting dressed in the morning for the rest of the day can be a bit tricky, and I have come to understand the true meaning of layering, and I find myself wishing I could get away with some of the Autumn fashions I see donning the cover of the latest fashion magazines. But thanks to Second Life, I get to do just that, and this new ensemble from Ashmoot looks like it just came out of the pages of the October issue of Vogue magazine!

From head to toe this entire outfit is incredibly well designed, textured, and the attention to detail is absolutely amazing! The oversized sweater goes perfectly over the flirty, skater styled skirt, the jewelry and glasses are expertly designed to add the perfect details, and check out this magnificent purse that comes in two styles with and without poses. I just had to take more than one photo so I could show off all the details, including the gorgeous new nails and lips from Alaskametro and the fantastic shoes and stockings, also from Ashmoot, that complete this ensemble.

 

All the items from Ashmoot are currently available at Designer Circle, which opened on the 15th and will run through the 28th, which means you have a little bit of time to head over and grab this ensemble for yourself. In case you needed any more incentive let me give you some more details! The shoes come in 3 different colors, so you can choose to spice up this outfit even more, as well as 2 choices for the purse, and there is also a Ghost version of the sweater, a perfect choice for a casual Halloween party or to just get into the spirit of the season a little bit.

And while you are out and about on the grid, stop by the Cosmetics Fair and check out these gorgeous new Tangerine lipsticks from Alaskametro. They come in 10 different shades with Classic avatar tattoos, as well as applier sets for OMEGA, LeLutka and Catwa mesh heads. The Cosmetics Fair began on the 15th and will run through the end of the month, so stop by and check out all the amazing new releases from your favorite cosmetics creators. Happy shopping and I hope you enjoy all the goodies you pick up while out and about!

Not sure these boots were the right choice for a ride, but I am sure to get some attention! - Marquesse, Level Up!, Salacity

Today is one of the few days I have had time to be at the computer enough to do two blog posts, and of course that has nothing to do with it being the end of the month, and again I am behind.  Beginning to think I need to drop a few sponsors as I continue to deal without having net at home and having to commute into town to blog.  Which of course is the last thing I want to do, since I spent years getting to where I was happy with who I was blogging for etc., but it seems to be something I am going to have to do, since I feel like I am letting so many people down along the way.  Including the amazing creators of Marquesse, who I happen to have not gotten to blog much of in the past couple of months, and I feel I have neglected them, so today I wanted to show off the exclusive release for the Women's Stuff Hunt which begins April 1st.

Feeling a bit rebellious?  Love to show off those assets?  Then do yourself a favor and head by Marquesse's main store tomorrow as the hunt starts and be one of the first to pick up this adorable ensemble.  The jacket, shorts and boots are exclusively for the Maitreya body, so make sure you know what you are grabbing before spending the time looking for the item in the store.  I will say though, I have on my Slink Feet and the boots fit over them perfectly as well as over my Maitreya thighs, which means I was quite pleased!  Though this doesn't exactly fit my normal style, but it is always fun to put on a bit of a character and think about what they would be doing!  And I think Jade is about to venture out onto the grid in this revealing ensemble to get some attention, so if this fits into your life, do yourself a favor and head over and grab yours!

It would be impossible for Jade to head out on a ride if this adorable bike hadn't been created by Salacity poses!  The bike comes with a color changer as well as different poses on the bike, giving it life!  I love the classic styling and the attention to detail is amazing, so go check it out as soon as the next round of Level Up! opens, I promise it will be worth the trip!

Spring Chic in Petit Chat and Ashmoot!

(This post was originally written on Monday, but due to a bit of an infection after oral surgery, I was unable to get it posted until today!)

I woke up this morning and while there was still sleep in my eyes I noticed a post from Powder Pack announcing the winners of their recent contest on Facebook.  I immediately went to share the post, happy for those who had won, when I thought I recognized a name, MINE!!  To say I was one very happy girl is the understatement of a lifetime.  For bloggers, all the new Bento changes mean we are having to fork out a lot of Lindens to keep ourselves current, and heads and skin appliers quickly eat through any budget you can put yourself on; so the introduction of the Powder Pack in general, has meant more of us can show you new goodies without having to break the bank.  I happen to not have a Catwa head, so I have been waiting with baited breath for the introduction of a LeLutka Powder Pack, so when I saw the announcement on Facebook about the April 1st release I quickly shared the link and my in-world name, without a thought I could possibly win the new LeLutka pack!  But today I went over to Powder Pack and reserved my pack with my $1500L balance, guaranteeing delivery April 1st, so make sure to check back in to see all the wonderful goodies packed into that box, which you know I will be showing off!

But today I wanted to bring your attention to Petit Chat, and these wonderful new berets, released for an event that ended on the 25th, meaning they will be making their debut in the shop this week, and you truly need to head on over to the store and grab the perfect one for your Spring wardrobe, or all of them, and be Spring Chic in Petit Chat!

Speaking of chic, this fabulous jumpsuit from Ashmoot fits the bill for Spring chic.  The jumpsuit comes in standard sizes as well as with appliers for your favorite mesh body, and Lolas as well, meaning it will fit right into your closet like it was custom made for you!  The jacket and shoes come separately, but can all be found at the current round of Designer Circle, which happens to be their anniversary round, so hurry on over before it's too late and you miss out on all the goodies offered for the 150th round!
