It’s a good movie, good food, and hopefully, a good post.
Necklaces are without a doubt my accessory of choice at the moment, so much so that I couldn’t decide between these two and decided to layer them instead. \o/ for indecisiveness! The lovely necklace with the burnt orange rosettes is an upcoming release from Tenshi Vielle’s Boutique and the triple strand of pearls (tendwatchers say this is a big one and I love them!) is another favourite from Atelier AM.
Despite the indulgence in jewelry, the outfit itself remains a casual one and the layering continues..
Both tops are from Surf Co. and as you can see the tank top alone is quite revealing (cue cleavage and side boob!), so if you dare to bare by all means do – it’s a great little tank. However, I erred on the side of modesty and used the top part of the cabana dress, which also served to add a bit more depth to the colour scheme by adding a dash of red to the neutrals. Beyond that, simplicity prevails. A nice dark pair of skinny jeans and some ankle boots and I’m ready to catch a set at The Velvet . Oh, and the hat? I think that’s the icing on the cake!
A special thank you to Tenshi Vielle, Emma Gilmour, and Torrid Midnight for sharing your creations with me! Much love!

Haha I apologize for the title, but I couldn’t resist. Buck is good too.
Whippet & Buck is a relatively new store on the scene, though you’d never know it by looking at the clothing. It was originally an offshoot of Dakota Buck’s, Savvy?, and is now owned by her RL best friend known in-world as, Twiggy Whippet. I’ll quote directly from the store profile, “we’re classing up the joint”, and they weren’t lying.
I think pencil skirts are great, but I think pencil skirts paired with suspender style straps are really great. As with all of the store’s inventory, this skirt comes in a varitey of colours, but I couldn’t resist the blueberry yum yum effect of the purple on blue. Just a few racks over was the answer to my question, “what to wear with this?”, and at 60L a pop I’d definitely consider this boatneck shirt a staple.
Shoes anybody? Admittedly, shoes aren’t my “thing”, but Pixel Mode’s 50L sale had me pretty damn excited about shoes! It was a stroke of luck that Pixel Mode’s Berry shade was a near perfect match with Whippet & Buck’s Bordeaux as these shoes make the outfit just a little bit saucy. Bon apetit!

P.S. I’m currently loving skins with painted lashes. So much so, I’ve gone prim lashless for days (srsly).

There is a rule in fashion which dictates that if you remember wearing a trend when it was first in fashion, you shouldn’t be wearing it next time around. Well I don’t mind admitting that I’m a child of the eighties and I do remember wearing the current fashions when they weren’t retro. I also won’t hold back in confessing that I’m not one for following rules in RL or SL and revel in being a fashion rebel. One of the wonderful things about SL is that it gives us the opportunity to experiment with fashion, so if you like the style why not check out some of the SL Fashion Designers that are championing the return of the eighties. These include Fab.Pony, Emery, Maitreya, MG Fashion and Mirai Style plus Pretties by JB who has released today the pieces I’ve featured in this post.

A new avatar just showed up in the store. “Adam” a.k.a. The Silver Fox as the ladies refer to him. I dont like him, not one bit.
Adam comes with two skins, one with a grey-hair skull cap and one completley bald.
Buy him here or in our tableau store.
Also new, a formal outfit for men. It comes with three turtlenecks attached to a peace sign necklace, to wear underneath a velvet brown suit.
buy it here or again, in our tableau store.
I’m sure that all regular blog readers will now be aware that last week, us bloggers were thoroughly spoilt with gifts so generously donated by a host of fabulous designers. What some of you may not know, is that the week would never have come about or been as successful and so much fun, without the wonderful CaLLie CLine. Not only did CaLLie conceive the idea of Bloggers’ Appreciation Week, but she orchestrated the event and was responsible for getting designers on board to support it.
I know very little about CaLLie, only that she is a prominent figure in SL, has a reputation for helping out where it is required, and is a great fashion designer. However, through the notecards and chats I’ve been a part of this week, it is clear to see that CaLLie is just an all round nice gal. I like her style (and I’m not just speaking of her fashion label here). She approaches the game with maturity, fun and such a generous and warm spirit.
Today is officially CaLLie CLine Appreciation Day as declared by the Fashion Bloggers Group of which I am proud to be a member. Thanks to TearSong Vaughan, fellow blogger, for coming up with the suggestion. It’s a chance for us to say ‘thank you so much CaLLie!’; it was so very nice to be appreciated and we are all very grateful to you.
Scarf, Pantsuit, Bracelet, Ring, and Boots: CaLLie CLine Cover Girl Outfit with Boots (L$299)
Hair: Uw.St Marina Hair Type B in Brown Wolf (modified to wear under hat) (L$190)
Hat: Tesla ‘Sammy’ Hat (L$0)

This week we have some new things for you… first thing we have is Purse Attack!
These purses come in 3 different patterns.
Sometimes the ladies need to defend themselves, especially if they are widowers. With this bag, no longer will you have to be passive in the face of some smart young punk who is trying to sass you. Next time he calls you “Granny” give him a taste of your purse full of medicine, that’ll learn him!
We also have an AO walking cane for those of you with back problems. There’s no shame in needling a little help with walking friends.
