Sexy and Sweet, All Because I'm a VIP At Carrie's Lingerie - Carrie's Lingerie, -{ZOZ}- at Sneak Peek, Chop Zuey

Beauty from Carrie's Lingerie, the January VIP gift called Val just looks angelic and demure, yet naughty and playful at the same time. New shoes from -{ZOZ}- at Sneak Peek, and some more elegant pieces of jewelry from Chop Zuey.

I can't tell you how much I love the Chocolate Cosmos skin at October's 4Seasons. Since I nailed down a favorite, I've had so much fun photographing her, and this time was no different. Gorgeous. Art. Sexy. Fun!

Every Color Of Christmas - Whimsical Imaginarium at The Couturier's Docks, Chop Zuey and enVOGUE

You know, no matter what color choice I plug in to find images for Christmas, they're there! Who'd have thunk it? I grew up with the traditional red and green. I knew there were other colors out there for the holidays because I watched Merry Christmas Charlie Brown. Those pink aluminum trees scared me every year. The horror!

This Christmas, as I've gotten gorgeous new pieces created with a holiday theme or a holiday name, I've looked for ways to bring that holiday spirit to you here, as you read and look at the items displayed. This Jingle Bell dress from Whimsical Imaginarium has a holiday name but I can certainly see how one could style it long after holidays pass, which means more bang for your buck in my neck of the woods.

New Jasmine hair from enVOGUE and new gifts at Chop Zuey, this time sharing the Oblique Motion Set, all come together for this festive pair of photos. I hope you're enjoying your first life and your second life, your world as it were, during the holiday season. May all your wishes be granted and the new year bring only good things to you and yours.

Peace On Earth Hunt 7 (POE 7) Inspiration - Xen's Hats, Snowpaws, and -{ZOZ}-; Plus New Items From BSD Design Studio and Wicca's Wardrobe

I really enjoyed putting this outfit together. I think I may say that often but the repetition of the saying doesn't in any way denigrate the truth being the statement. I love the fresh feel of fashion through the eyes of many beholders and when I begin mixing and matching designers, I see this even more so.

This whole look comes inspired from pieces found at the Peace On Earth Hunt 7 (POE 7). I ADORE Carrie Snowpaw. She and I have loads in common, and whether it's a week or a month that passes since we last spoke, it feels like it was just a few minutes ago. Those types of relationships are the essence of what I think of when I think of holidays. The Ribbon Dress, POE 7, comes from Snowpaws. It's long enough to wear alone, with tights or a pair of leggins like I used. Xen's Hats at POE 7 has a beanie that's too cute for words and unisex. -{ZOZ}- additions to POE include both the necklace called Unwrap Me and the special holiday themed Gift Polish.

Blowing You Each A Little Kiss

BSD Design studio created the heels and they work with my SLink High feet. The leggins come from Wicca's Wardrobe. I used the solid pair of Sazzy pants in a previous blog and this is the second option, a delightful pattern that has several colors so you can wear with many themes. This season of tights and leggins are right up my alley, by the way, because I grew up in the 80s and everyone wanted to dress like the dancer in Flash Dance, even when we weren't dancing! To this day I think of those layers of color over perfectly good pants and my parents tsking as I'd go off to school with layers all over the place. I was warm and did my best to be a fashionable 16 year old. I even had a knit cap or two. I was too hot to handle, of course... a sexy little thang. And ~whispers~ I still am!

So I Met This Reindeer -- Featuring ~ghee and Loovus Dzevavor

So I met this reindeer...

It's a good way for a Christmas story to start, isn't it? I met this reindeer at Image Essentials Props and Poses. I hadn't been over there in a while to see the new displays and pose studio updates and happily discovered a furry friend. I had a jacket in storage, something from Loovus Dzevavor that was just waiting for the right moment to appear, and paired with a comfy warm top and leggings/tights set from ~ghee. Heels from -{ZOZ}- capped off the casual dress.

And then there were antlers. Bodza created them as part of an outfit from Whimsical Imaginarium called Merry Snowflake. So festive!

Tiny Footprints -- Featuring !Lybra and Dulce Secrets From Tiny Footprints Charity Event

Tiny Footprints is a new idea to me but so wonderfully special. This week, this charity has items for sale that help raise funds to support the charity. For families who lose children at a very young age, Tiny Footprints works to connect those families with skilled photographers who will take a special memories photograph to commemorate their young child's life. You can read more about the organization and what they stand for and do, and donate directly here: http://www.thetinyfootprintsproject.com/ 

I have on a gown that's designed by Lybra called Dementia. This purchase goes 100% to the charity, and is a beautiful vintage clothing style. I also picked up the array of makeup from Dulce Secrets called Over the Rainbow, also set to donate 100% of the proceeds to this charity.

You can find designers from all different points of view at this event. I hope you have time to go by and see. You can find this in SL at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondli…/Oracle%20Sparc/…/207/37

Lots Of Pictures, Lots Of Beauty, Lots of Fun -- Featuring Sabra Style November Releases, Featuring Truth Sian

Kylie Sabra has an array of hats she wears, and everything she does, she attacks with passion and energy and influences the world around her as a result. Besides being a tremendous designer, she works in one of the finest Art Galleries on the grid as curator, the Rose Theater Art Galleries. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Angel%20Manor/106/154/29

I've had the joy of spending time with her, in public spheres and private spheres and I admire everything she touches. The clothing collage I put together displays an array of items she's created and has for sale this month at Sabra Style. I don't know how she manages to keep up with everything, but look at how well she does!

If you've never visited the gallery, I encourage you to go. Are you an artist? You should drop her a note card. Have you seen her collection of clothing she's created? You must go. When someone works with as much passion as she exhibits, you know that you're going to love something if not everything there is to love about what she does. Visit. See. Invest. Enjoy!

Looking For Drama -- Featuring /Wasabi Pills/, [dirty little secret], Entice from Designer Showcase and Ro' e Buni' from The Instruments

I nearly squealed out loud to the empty house today when I saw that season 10 of Grey's Anatomy was up on Netflix. There are only a few shows I've binge watched via that connection and I love it when I do. I can be so impatient waiting 25-28 weeks for each episode to air in it's normal time slot, break for holidays, take time off for the March Madness, or whatever. With this Netflix thing, I can gobble up good stuff at my pace, and I love Grey's. I was an avid fan of E.R. but only a few of the first years, and lost interest after a while. I watched House and again, lost interest in it as well. I have returned to watching it intermittently, again thanks to Netflix, but it doesn't have that same emotional tug to me, like Grey's.

After 1 1/2 episodes, however, I had to come back here, and read news, look at emails, check notices, and look for friends to connect with because this emulation of life that comes virtually into my world makes more sense than every emotional tug I ever felt watching a television simulation of life, by like a million jillion. Sometimes people talk about drama, a bad thing, something to avoid, and yet drama, that day to day stuff that makes us laugh or cry or feel some other emotion drives our world. Drama on television inspires us. Drama in our day to day life either feeds us or is a byproduct of human connection. Sometimes things irritate me, like idiots, sometimes things disappoint me, like liars, and sometimes things make me cry, like deception, but the only way to avoid those irritations would be to avoid people. I like the positive energy from connections that make me laugh, make me proud, make me feel something good, and I wouldn't trade any of that away for some mundane quiet world.

I love experiencing the wild romps of a television drama, and well written drama just makes me smile more. But here, in this shared universe, you're so much more interesting, dramatic, fun, crazy, and yes, those negative things too. It's why I do what I do. I have this little process, coming in to work on photos, styling, and other things, but every single time I come in, I'm also checking in with friends, offering hugs, making someone growl with frustration (yes, I'm sure I irritate others at times!). I put together this outfit, from head to toe chock full of new items, from /Wasabi Pills/ latest release Dominique, to Entice's items at Designer Showcase that include the awesome Clueless leggings and Don't Heels, to Roe' e Buni items from The Instruments. I even tapped into a resource I rarely use and found a [dirty little secret] bra in my box of fun. I embrace the work, but it's all just a really good opportunity to touch worlds, designers, other models, old friends, and so many others. I'm going to finish this episode of Grey's now and will see you all again really soon. I couldn't exist without you.

Are You Ready For Holidays? -- Featuring Sabra Style, -LOUX- and E C R U from Designer Showcase; Featuring Zibska and PosESioN from The Instruments

Some years, I truly struggle with the emotion of the holidays and by November 3, I'm buried somewhere down deep inside myself and bracing for the storm of the supposed "HAPPY" holidays that sometimes seem so far away from reality. It's something significant and not something only I struggle with, so I hope as you read this, if you know others who do, you might be a breath of gentle air, a warm hug, a cup of hot cider, a blessing of hope, and then just wait, and be there, because those of us who've learned how to hibernate through emotional seasons also wake. They'll want you there when they do wake and they will remember your touch and heart while they couldn't respond to you.

So I went over to a Winter Sim and found some precious displays and this little snowman standing in his own huge snowfall caught my eye. I know it's a bit early to think of Merry Christmas, but it's not too early to think of love, a love to touch the whole world, regardless of faith, and peace, enough to spread like a fire, and bring a calmness like the snow to every single of the 8 billion souls you'll find out there this year.

I'm wearing a new Charisma gown in red from Kylie Sabra at Sabra Style. You'll also find E C R U Ritz Heels and this bold yet elegant luscious new  lipstick from -LOUX- both at Designer Showcase

, excellent deals, and every new month that passes brings multiple reasons to return to enjoy this sale venue. Also, new Zibska Kelda jewely and the poses I used from PosESioN come from The Instruments event, for the November rotation.
Lots of beauty, and a breathless dream of hope and love and joy for each of you as we do brace for winter together.

Bright White or Dark Night -- Featuring *Whimsical Imaginarium* and NOYA

Bright and white or dark as night, that's what dreams are made of... Whimsical Imaginarium offers that and so much more.

This week, the new White Swan gown came to The Couturier's Docks.

Terror Couture released to The Instruments. Both of these offer fun options for this time of year, and with Terror Couture, you can save the little horror pieces and still wear the rest of the ensemble for other events and look oh so sexy with that waspish waist.

I paired Noya's new White Pearls set with the white gown and added other brightly white bits and pieces to complete the overall effect. With the Terror Couture array of items, few accessories were needed to make this look complete.

Whether light or dark, I enjoy the opportunity to play and the exquisite quality of *Whimsical Imaginarium* by Bodza E Tucker aka Bodza Mubble. Thank you!

Thank You Jamee! Featuring Lybra's COO, ♛ Miss V♛ SWEDEN 2015♛ - Lybra, Wicca's Wardrobe and October's 4Seasons at The Couturier's Docks

Last night was a rough night. On nights like that, I do my best to distract myself and make it one moment at a time. I was working on styling the new dress from Lybra at The Couturier's Docks. Mr. Rage has sold out his new dress at TCD within the first few days for 3 rounds, so I didn't want to miss out on it this time. I glommed over and grabbed mine the moment I saw the notice.

So I have on two different outfits to show you. The first is an unusual pant suit dress combination like nothing I've seen before in SL which makes it exceedingly interesting and fun. Libra's Mizuki may be purchased at The Couturier's Docks at the moment, and is shown as it was created in two photos I shot, then with only the pant suit on, as I turned a cartwheel in the ocean.

Wicca's Wardrobe also has some great new items at The Couturier's Docks, including the heels you can see in the photo of the cartwheel. There are several items from her including brand new mesh she created, something significant to her as her second ever mesh design, and something that no one else has, as a result of her creating it herself. She's very excited to offer this to her faithful customers and all who pass through The Couturier's Docks who might become new customers.

The brand new line of skins begins with Angelina. October's 4Seasons Skins and accessories has its first ever display at The Couturier's Docks. The Milk Skin Tone has never been sold previously and the Walnut Skin Tone might just be the very very best dark skin tone in all of Second Life. October's a great skin creator for a whole array of shades, but I revel in her ability to capture the colors of the darker skins in our world and how she brings them into the game.

Lori Jamee Sandalwood Loeffler aka Jamee Binder aka ♛ Miss V♛ SWEDEN 2015♛ was online and I thought well, it can't hurt to ask, though I knew she had a very busy schedule, and many things she's responsible for at Lybra, with her MVW contest, and the Models Give Back program she helps manage. I nudged her in IM and asked if she had time to do a Lybra pair pose with me. She said yes. I was so excited, I forgot for a little while that it was a rough day. That's sometimes the best medicine of all, by the way. Time, a friend, something fun.

For the pictures I'm in with Jamee, I'm wearing Lybra's Vex. It's a mini that employs the metallic craze that continues to be chic in clothing design this season. Around the chest and again at the skirt, the flexible materials flutter with life and remind me of feathers. Jamee put together her look with a Lybra dress called Daiki along with a jewelry set from Lybra called Taylor that includes a Black Pearls necklace, earrings and ring.

Beautiful Pumpkin Patch -- Featuring Snowpaws from Designer Showcase, MOoh from The Promenade, Wicca's Wardrobe from BOSL International Fashion Week, and {{BSD Design Studio}}

Have you noticed how evident the lingerie models wear on runways this fall appear on all sorts of layers? Gone are the days of prim and proper fashion, buttoning up, zipping, hiding, lifting, 18 hours, and so much more. Now, fashion blends the 'street' clothes with the lingerie items in a mix and match like I've not seen before in my lifetime.

Speaking of Carrie's Lingerie, every month is a great time to visit, but extra special effort for decor goes into some months and Halloween/October might be the most flamboyant fun on one sim for this holiday across all of SL. Countless autumnal and spooky props with poses decorate the store's main level and hidden pumpkins hide an inside hunt treat for those who find all of them. If you invest in a VIP membership, discounts, special releases, and more will tease your fancy and there's a second in house hunt up in the VIP area. This time of year is beyond fun at Carrie's Lingerie.

I put this outfit together this evening with the deliberate desire to add designers from a range of skills, aesthetics and energy to create an entirely new piece to share with you. This came about as I took a hat fromthe Miranda Outfit from Wicca's Wardrobe, something newly released for BOSL International Fashion Week and paired with a style - James - out of the KMADD/Moda box I continue to ruffle through and enjoy - blog after blog - and Mr. Maddox DuPont recently noted that he's added new hair to his collection. It's an excellent time to drop by if you haven't visited in a while.

Snowpaws has a beautiful halter top and wide-legged pant set - Luca - on sale at this month's Designer Showcase. I used the pants for this styling. I appreciated how they hugged the hip with a sleek sensuality then billowed more material the farther down the leg you look.

If your eye wanders from head to toe, the brilliant red of the bra from Carrie's Lingerie peeks out and then another item echoes the bright hues in the heels from BSD Design studio. The Passion of Life name for the heels fits perfectly as a description of both bra and heels. From the store MOoh, a new crop topped short sleeve sweater finishes off the new items shared on this blog. You can find this V-Neck item at The Promenade Gachas and available in several colors. In my world off line, I like layers, so that crazy days that begin at 52 degrees and end at 82 degrees, I can peel off or pull on those layers, just like this item from MOoh.

Birthday Spectacular At Chop Zuey -- Featuring Chop Zuey; no. 7, Loordes of London and -{ZOZ}- from The Instruments; Liv-Glam, *{Kiko Life}* from Designer Showcase

I attended Chop Zuey's birthday bash, celebrating it's 5th birthday with style. As there are often gifts on the weekends, this weekend there were also, but this time, some of the gifts were over the top collections and loads of ways Belle chose to spoil all of us. A new set called Don't Call Me Betty was released as a gift with a limited stone set, however, the set I'm wearing has the option to change three gem stones and the metals in the jewelry to make it so adaptable. I warned Belle before I arrived that I was wearing something Spooktacular and a bit wild, did she still want me.

~laughs~ And so I did go and loved the chance to hang out with some of Chop Zuey's long time members/supporters and new ones joining for the first time. I had on a great outfit that looks perfect for the Halloween month yet isn't specific to Halloween, a top and shorts that Liv-Glam put together. It's name made me chuckle - Idiot School.

I had on tights that are lacy and deep blue that I made to go with the boots I wore Loordes of London French Quarter boots from the Instruments. Unique makeup came from *{Kiko Life}* at Designer Showcase and those wild wonderful lashes are no. 7 items from the Instruments. And I used the -{ZOZ}- nail appliers that I mentioned yesterday, Ghost Girl.

-{ZOZ}- happily (to me) appears everywhere I turn and for this month's Instruments, they have a suitably scary set of nails - Ghost Girl. Boooooo.... Kastle Rock's Fabiana Dress comes from Designer Showcase, and though it's a spaghetti strap style, the colors are all autumnal and perfect for this time of year. The Kathleen heels from AJ Designs may be purchased at The Promenade.

Other items new to my blog include Syrenze red bracelets, h.m.a.e.m. unique hat and a new color of tights from ~ghee. When I put them all together like a puzzle, I had a great time. I hope you do also, and find a way to shop til you get every last detail that appeals to you.

I Love You - Featuring Snowpaws from debra Event, Featuring October's 4Seasons

I was going to start this next note with the words, "I love Carrie Snowpaw" but then I thought you attentive readers might think I say those words so much, how could they be meaningful. I've been doing this thing I do for over two and a half years and a few of the people I met go back that far and have become precious to me, not just because they're excellent artists, great business women and men, not just because I've worked with them, but because they're also terrific friends. Carrie would give you the shirt off her back, not a sexy second life type shirt. She would just do anything to help a friend. That sort of personality makes it impossible for me NOT to love her. So, I love Carrie Snowpaw.

This new pant suit Adele was created to support a new charity event that begins in October. It's a disease I'm far less familiar with but learning as I read about debra and the team of people who have joined together to help raise awareness (they taught me something new and maybe I can do the same to share with others so it's working!!) and financial resources to help those who have it. Let me cut and paste the name of it, so I get it right and a link where you can visit and donate directly. Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association - Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic connective tissue disorder, affecting 1 out of every 20,000 live births. There are many variations of EB, but all share the prominent symptom of extremely fragile skin that blisters and tears from minor friction or trauma. There is no cure. http://www.debra.org/

And, while we're talking about people for whom I feel great affection, I would be remiss if I left Ms. Ooh-la-licious out...and today, we have such great news. After a melee of mishmash, emotional frustration, and things that can spoil a sense of trust, look where you landed. On your feet. Like a fierce and growling Lioness!! Today, Facebook updated the page, October's 4Seasons and we march forward! I'm happy to be a 4Seasons Beauty, a model who committed to wearing her skins exclusively, and look at this - This new Angelina Face PLUS a brand new skin tone, Milk. So now there's a bakers dozen skin tones to choose from and more teases and temptations for you at 4Seasons. ~shuts the door~ Okay, the door closed, Ms. O, and look, that spectacular window over there, it's wide open and you're taking your business through it. There are many of us who think like I think, support you in this transition and look eagerly through that window to what comes next!

p.s. The new Milk Tone Angelina skin will be released the first week in October as a limited skin. Only 50 will be sold, and when they're gone, they're gone.

One Day... Featuring .::Dead Dollz::., ~ghee and .:JUMO:. from .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week, KaTink Poses and no. 7

**Warning: One of my crazy long winded notes!

Some day, I want to grow up and be my avatar self. I would go to all the fabulous parties, never wearing the same attire twice. I would borrow jewelry from Tiffany's and have body guards to protect me from being mauled because I had on 3.2 million dollars worth of diamonds. I would have automatic everything. Maybe even an automatic 'mom response' to some of the incessant questions that do NOT stop when the child you once knew becomes a tall, grown... well... child. I'd have the fancy house down by the water that's on Cao's blog today. (I rarely reblog because we're all inundated with loads of data here and there, but well, I want her fancy house and it plays perfectly into my fantasy!) -- http://anchailinalainn.com/2014/09/19/bricks-and-mortar/ I'd have parties every night, music with live musicians to play it, food catered from only the best places, and some sort of amazing medication like the ultra-sexy Bradley Cooper takes in the movie Limitless and... if you haven't seen Limitless, put it on your weekend to rent at Redbox or wherever in your world you grab the movie and popcorn. You won't regret it. And you'll understand why I would need such a drug. With great parties come great people, great dancing, and I've heard it said, though I'm not sure if it's rumor or truth, great parties often lead to great sex. SEE WHY I want to grow up to be me?

For now, I will stick to pretending, to playing Barbie and to appreciating the expanse of designers who help create the imagery of my fantasy world. This time, I have on a new gown from .::Dead Dollz::. and I'm not sure, but I think it's the first time it's ever appeared on my blog. The mini-collection I got to see as part of .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week piqued my interest immediately when I saw the names of the items. The box was called Heisenberg and the gown I chose to share is Gray Matter. If you're fans of the hit series Breaking Bad (alas, it finished it's last season in 2013 ack!), the names would amuse and entertain. If you're really die hard Trivia nuts and Breaking Bad is your thing, you'd really enjoy the names of the items produced for this week!

People want bloggers to work with their items, and of course that's what we do and why we're there. In such a massive project like .PENUMBRA. countless designers have added their flair. Many many gowns, a few cocktail/clubbing dresses, a random rare pant suit or jeans set, and then accessories after that. Unfortunately, there are only so many gowns that could be styled in a period of two weeks. However, I know countless bloggers who are trying to do as much as they can and so am I. I'm grateful when I open a box that has jewelry, hair, heels, or other trinkets that add to the ability to puzzle the pieces together in such a way that each outfit is a mix and match of those event(s) that are in progress. I share this because I hope it helps encourage designers to mix it up a little. If I have a box with 4 pair of heels from one designer, and no one else sends heels out, then I will have 4 blogs with the same designer illustrated because they came from that event. But for the designer who sends 4 gowns, I pick the one I think best suits my tastes, and go from there.

And I shared all that to say that this .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week had .:JUMO:. as one of the contributing designers and the array of items submitted to work with from there allowed for multiple pieces to be used. I try to share the love. That's a good way to put it I think and one other bloggers use as well. I don't want to be an Events blogger who ends up only working with three or four designers. I switched to being a full time, fully invested Events blogger so I could be exposed to new creations by new people I've never tried. JUMO, thank you for all the accessories you created and shared! The jewelry in this styling, Salimah OnixDiamonds, made the elegant look even more refined. And ~ghee, who also sent an array of things that allowed for more than one blog entry, shared this purse. It's basic black and silver, but the strands of leather on the side of the purse changes hue with a HUD.

KaTink shares items that I sort and use in different ways at different times. KaTink Poses has poses, props, items for couples, for romance, for besties, for group gatherings and more. If I could have a KaTink pose set for my 23 family members on my Mr's side of the family, Thanksgiving would be so much easier, right? Only if that were possible. I get pouty (really, occasionally I do!) at times, because I don't have a special someone who would hop into pair poses with me. Most of the time, as a result, I do the static poses and backgrounds. This time, I realized the Pose Meh pack had poses AND a little prop. I set up a little scene, and 'Posed Meh'. Hahaha... and one more quick note. The bright red sign comes from no. 7, and from a box that has a number of other creepy signs, police tape and things I think are preparing us for Halloween.

On the Serengeti - Featuring Silk Dreams from Rock Your Rack; Featuring *GLITTER* from .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week; Featuring Chop Zuey and Face Paint

As the Rock Your Rack event comes to a close, I have one more piece to show. There are new things on the horizon, always will be, but it's hard to say goodbye to some of the events that mean so much. I admire the ladies and gentlemen that put this program together and I think they've done a tremendous job reaching high goals and will celebrate success at the closing party. The mini-dress over regular clothes seemed to be a big thing in fashion shows on real world runways. I tried it here, with the Silk Dreams item at Rock Your Rack called Hera.

.PENUMBRA. Fashion Week continues day two (today is September 14 when this is originally written) and has so many things to share in such a short time, I don't know how they will get it all in but I know they will. For events to work successfully, the team has to have a plan and people in every pocket, keeping up with their details as part of the plan and then every piece has to happen at the right time. Those groups that put together seamless productions make it look easy but it's only like that because of the enormous work behind the scenes. I admire the team who are responsible for .PENUMBRA. and I'm excited for all that will be shared this week as a part of their event. *GLITTER* has several outfits they've introduced for Autumn/Winter 14. Instead of picking one of their outfits, I did something a little differently. The turban comes from one outfit, the jeans come from another outfit, and the third outfit offered the SLink style heels. I can tell the pieces are all from the same collection because they do mix and match well and tell a story about the designer. I try to pull from designers I haven't worn in an alternating sort of way, so that my blog and Facebook shares items from places I didn't know along with favorite designers whom I've known for a while. In this way, I hope it represents the event, whichever one it is at the moment, in the best way possible.

Chop Zuey continues to shimmer brilliantly as go to accessories. There's always something in my folder that's perfect for an outfit. Even if they're not brand new releases, but new to my blog, I will list them as 'featuring'. Once I share something on my blog, it goes into the numbered list under the featured items. This set of jewelry called Circus Maximus made me smile, especially when I visited the Serengeti to take the photos and met three massive elephants; it was a circus indeed. I'm also wearing a new set of makeup from my folders, Face Paint 'Warmth', and haven't shared it with you previously so it also is one of the featured elements.

After Party at Energy Club

Wrapping Up and Moving On - Featuring !Lyrical B!zarre Templates at Rock Your Rack, no. 7 from 24 Squared and -{ZOZ}- from .PENUMBRA.

This morning, I woke extremely early for no apparent reason so of course I went in to see what was new, and where things were going in the month of September. Lyrical B!zarre Templates tempts you with delicious shapes and unique design for something just a little bit different for a favorite club, a fashionable party or any other reason you want to look especially dynamic in public.

This dress called Rockin', perfectly named for the Rock Your Rack event, will be available just a little longer. If you haven't been to the charity event, you have three more days to get there and I encourage you to please try to go. It's raising awareness and funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Donate Directly: https://www.stayclassy.org/fundraise?fcid=283425

I have some dramatic lashes from no. 7. They're available at the 24 Squared event, however, you will only be able to get them there today and tomorrow as tomorrow marks the last day for this superb event. .PENUMBRA. begins with a week chock full of greatness officially on the 13th of September and will run through the 22nd. A wide array of designers have items to show at the event, during fashion shows, at after parties, and all the fun that fashion week brings.

-{ZOZ}- OMGoodness. When I saw the options from this store, I was in LOVE. There are so many new shoes, new shoe styles, and each one better than the first. I have on Ria Heels in Cocoa. I could almost guarantee that you'll find something you'll love! Even a few designs for the guys!
