Happy November!

Not sure about the rest of you but I am so glad Halloween has come and gone and that I can finally begin to focus on the upcoming holidays.  It's like Halloween marks that point you pack up the Summer apparel and pull the sweater boxes out from under the bed and start to dig through the closets to find your boots.  I think it is an unconscious attempt to hold onto Summer a bit longer before giving into the shorter days and surrendering to the long cold Winter.  I find it a tad peculiar that I seem to love colors in the bleak, cold days of Winter in the mountains and I happen to wear a lot less black than normal, which shocks most people since as far as I am concerned black is a full wardrobe.  But the jeweled tones of the holidays are my favorites and you can always count on me to brighten up whatever occasion I have happened out too, and TASHI has captured this perfectly with the new Chelsy release for the round of FAD which ends SOON, so make sure you head on over and pick up wonderful designs with the month of November and the deep Fall in mind!

The sweater and skirt come in a variety of colors and patterns to mix and match all for a very affordable price for the duration of the event and make sure you check out the matching nail polishes as well that come for all  your favorite mesh bodies.  I absolutely LOVE the fit of this ensemble and the Maitreya size fits wonderfully with very few alphas activated.  If you have been procrastinating on heading over to this round of FAD then hopefully I have given you the proper impetus and you are already looking for your tele to the event in the credits!!

Come seize the day at Sneak Peek

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Sorry I didn't check in yesterday, but my relaxing weekend away apparently wiped me out and I literally slept all day!  So here I am all bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning ready to show off this wonderful ensemble I put together featuring all kinds of goodies only available at this round of Sneak Peek!  The event only runs until the 5th, so put on your shopping shoes and head on over before it's too late!!!  I know from time to time my pictures can be a bit muted and it isn't often I get to express myself as creatively in my fashion blogs as I do in my home, or furniture blogs.  Today is different and I am pleasantly surprised and quite happy!  This round of Sneak Peek has lots of wonderful items for your to peruse that will surely turn your head towards Autumn, at least in the Northern Hemisphere!  LaVian & Co. has once again brought us more than one fabulous new release and one of the rompers comes in two different pattern/color choices, so I am sure you will find your favorite among the group!

I absolutely love this color combination and I was very excited to discover that the "violet" theme was running throughout the designers so I could put together an entire ensemble that you can go and grab at Sneak Peek!  The romper from Lavian fits wonderfully with my Maitreya body after just a few clicks, which is always a plus and there are so many colors to choose from that I know everyone will find EXACTLY what they were looking for!  Loovus has 2 exclusives for the event, the Kulinda Sunglasses and Mahats heels in matching colors and different metal selections making them a MUST have this late Summer!  I absolutely love the big, chunky, yet well designed pieces from Glint for this round as well and they also come in a variety of colors to mix and match with the other items you grab while at the event.  And if you are looking for a purse to go with the gold in your wardrobe then make sure to check out Petit Chat's exclusive purse for this round of Sneak Peek as well.

Like a fine wine....getting better with age

So everyone who has been following along knows I am over 40, but for anyone new, I turned 43 in April, and though I don't think I look fantastic for my age, I am not one to hide it either.  My body acts like it is a lot older and with everything I have been through, I do look pretty good for that, at least in my opinion.  Over the years I have dated younger men and the most common comment among them is that women age like a fine wine, and just get better with age.  Now I am not one to analyze the younger/older relationships as I honestly believe that if you can find love in this world, as long as it isn't with children or animals, that you are blessed.  It is tough no matter who you are anymore and if you find a soul connection with someone, a difference of fifteen or twenty years shouldn't make a difference, as long as the people involved are ready to handle all the crap they are going to get.  Trust me when I say there will always be a ton of it, from younger, older, same age... everyone will have an opinion.  It has been a very long time since I dated someone younger in my real life, but I have dated younger men pretty much exclusively online since 2008.  Call me vain, whatever, but I do enjoy the idea of being attractive to men at least ten years younger than I am.  It gives a nice little boost to the ego, which I think anyone needs from time to time.

Call me vain but I love it when he says I aged like a fine wine!

As I wiggled into this gorgeous new ensemble from Loovus I immediately felt like "Mrs. Robinson" and I might have giggled just a bit at the fact I own an outfit quite similar to this one.  Sneak Peek ends on the 5th!  Which means you only have about twelve more hours to head on over and grab the newest group gifts and to see all of the hotness that is Sneak Peek!  So with a wink and a smile I think I might call up an "old" younger friend and see what he is up to for the evening, my ego needs a little boosting!

Um so it has really nothing to do with my post but I discovered this song today and it just made me giggle, so I thought I would share it with you all!!!!

Lost in his headlights

I know everyone has had that moment when they are waiting for that special someone to pull up to the curb, or into the driveway to pick you up for a special night; and as the headlights track from your toes to your head, that sudden, self conscious moment washes over you just like the lights.  Tonight, as the lights flashed up the drive I felt almost bashful as my eyes rose to meet his.  Have to love those little moments that still make you go weak in the knees; whether it's a new love or an old one, those times are special. 

Two designers have truly captured what Summer feels like for me with their breezy, yet form fitting creations created in a stunning true beach and tropics palette.  Lush by CoCo releases in collections, so these fantastic designs are not new to the grid, but are definitely must haves for this skin baring Summer season.  Loovus has wonderful, gauzy dresses for the summer for you to check out that premiered at the last round of Sneak Peek, as well as these sexy, strappy heels in complimentary colors to both stores' collections.  Do yourself a favor and head on over to Loolush and discover the amazing creations from Lush by CoCo and Loovus!

I love the fit on this dress as it didn't break or stretch when posing or walking around on the grid.  It fit PERFECTLY with my Slink Physique after just a few clicks which is always a plus in my book.  If you are looking for a gorgeous jewelry set for this Summer as well, make sure to head by Lazuri and pick up the STUNNING new collection that was released for Spring.  The set includes, earrings, necklace, bracelets and two styles of rings.  "Touch" any of the pieces to change the stones, pearls and metals to match your favorite ensembles.

I hope you too have those moments in your life that remind you why they always say. "young at heart."  I don't care what age a person is supposed to be, it is all about the age they feel, and right now I am like a giddy school girl about to head out for her first date!  Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your night and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashion trends work for you!

2015 Chic

I hope everyone had a wonderfully wicked New Years and that you all stayed safe!  It was a wintery, cold and snowy New Years Eve up here in the high country of Arizona so stayed home and had a little get together with friends, which was a perfect way to ring in the new year!  After taking a little bit of time off to see friends and family I am back for my first post of the year! 

Sneak Peek opened up on Christmas Day and will close its doors on the 5th, which means you don't have much shopping time left!  Loovus has released this gorgeous jacket and skirt combination for the event which comes in several colors that I decided to mix and match for you.  I loved the fact I could combine the jackets with different skirts and have the colors compliment each other.  The fit on both pieces is just perfect and neither piece broke while posing!  This is a perfect professional look or can very easily be dressed up for a great night out with that special someone, so hurry on over to Sneak Peek and be chic for 2015!
