The Fashion Garret Strikes Again!

If you are like me,  you love going to these events.  I am absolutely in love with finding new items every time,  from stores I already shop at,  and even some I don't.  The prices are always amazing too,  which helps out my wallet!  This round of The Fashion Garret like always is full of amazing amazing finds.

I'm so loving this Vampire Bodysuit from  -Nemesis-.  It's beautiful blue color and flawless texture make it worth wearing over and over again.  The adorable flower attachment on the pelvis gives it that extra little pop. 

 My friend was watching me take pictures and made a comment about me being in Flashdance,  which made me laugh hysterically. Maybe it'ts the come get me look on my face,  or the pearls in my mouth? To be honest I don't see it,  but then again I've never actually watched that movie. 

My dress is Paper from  =Zenith=,  another find at The Fashion Garret.  Zenith is one of those stores that I absolutely love,  I find myself going often to see if there is anything new and exciting.  I love the big black bow,  it almost makes me look a little innocent right?  No,  not really but hey a girl can pretend. 

 I knew this hair,  Midnight in Paris by Exile was perfect for this dress.  I totally felt like a princess,  not in a story book kind of way.  More like a spoiled rotten my daddy is a billionaire,  give me everything I want kind of way.  You know those girls I'm talking about right?  Just so you know I'm not one of those... I wish. 

Here is your limo to The Fashion Garret.

Yes, I am always Fashionably Late.

Yes that's right ladies,  Fashionably Late has struck again!  I found the most adorable dress and skin to show you!  It seems lately that I am late for everything,  but I'm working on it.  

This oh so adorable Lola Mini Dress from MONS struck me as something that my inventory needed,  pronto.  There are there lovely colors to choose from,  and for a change I chose lime. The texture is beautiful and stemless,  what's not to love about this belted mini dress?

Oh and my hair,  Midnight in Paris new by Exile.  I adore the color change bow,  and did I mention its MESH? My beautiful Twin Hearts Necklace by Maxi Gossamer is also MESH,  and just became a part of my ever growing collection of her jewelry!  I should add that neither of these items is at Fashionably Late, they are just new favorites of mine.

Tyr Rozenblum,  the creative genius behind Aura  (Tyranny and Grixdale re-branded)  has done it again!  This beautiful Helena - Fish Bowl skin for Fashionably Late. It comes with an extra lip tattoo option,  cleavage and non-cleavage,  and a freckles option.

This is a pre-release of the skin,  just like the group gift this month  (Helana - Love Notes,  not pictured).  The full line is coming soon...  in March!  If you haven't  joined the Aura VIP group you should.  It's totally worth the amazing free gifts and special offers.

There are so many other amazing finds waiting for you at Fashionably Late!  Don't forget to stop by and check it out!  Happy shopping!

A Little Bit of Lust...

Hello my lovelies,  we have come to that last day of my 7 Days of Sin.  So that means that Lust is the only sin we have yet to cover.  Though to be honest there has been a lot of lust laced in with my other sin posts.  When it came time to show you lust,  I grabbed my fellow Fashion Goddess Joie and decided scantily clad was the way to go.

We actually,  as Joie pointed out,  have this whole Ying and Yang thing going on and look amazingly hot together.  We are both wearing matching corset and panties sets from Cynful called Aphrodisia.  It was made for Festival of Sin and comes in 5 different colors.  I love the beautiful texture and shimmery sparkle of the silver on the corset.  The low riding barely there panties with a cute white bow are so cute.  I loved them so much I bought several colors. 

We used the Lust set from ~Tableau Vivant~ to create our atmosphere and dug through our inventories for poses that were sexy and seductive.  I love the look of this room,  the reds and blacks in perfect contrast. All three of the ~Tableau Vivant~ sets are stunningly beautiful.   

 I don't think we get to play around in the studio enough,  yes that's a hint Joie.  It's been 2 years since I met Joie,  and a girl could not ask for a better best friend.  

Here is your taxi to the Festival of Sin.  Just a few more days left to explore and shop.

Glutton for Cupcakes

Day 6 of my 7 days of  Festival of Sin brings us to Cupcakes.  Gluttony,  what does that make you think of? I see myself laying in bed surrounded by cupcakes,  candy,  and various other sweet treats.  Oh and a never ending supply of Red Bull.  Seriously we all know how much I love cupcakes. While shopping at  Festival of Sin,  I found the most ADORABLE Cupcake lingerie! 

Schadenfreude made this oh so cute Cupcake Gluttony Lingerie for Festival of Sin.  Of course the fat pack was calling my name.  I had this bright idea to get my friend Jee to pose with me wearing Schadenfreude's Cupcake Tie that matches and some white boxers.  Jee was such a good sport, spending an hour in his boxers with me in the studio.  

I'm loving the simplicity of the bra and panties and the adorable cupcakes.  It comes in 3 colors,  White,  Pink,  and Blue.  The Tie comes with a HUD for easy color change,  and an optional collar.  Schadenfreude also made Sushi covered sets of Lingerie and Ties,  all of which are available at Festival of Sin.

Oh and did I mention this sweet little headband made by LOULOU& CO, aptly named Glucose.  It has coffee and donuts and cupcakes.  It matches perfectly with the bra and panties. 

Tomorrow is the last day of my 7 days of Sin,  which means that only Lust is left.  Wondering what I have up my sleeve?  Stay tuned! 

If you haven't been to Festival of Sin you should go soon,  you only have till March 3rd.

Now for some Wrath....

Looks like we've made our way to Wrath tonight.  There were so many ideas in my head when it came to showing you all my take on this particular sin.  There were so many examples at the Festival of Sin,  and it's possible I bought them all. 

It would take me a week t show the all to you,  so here are a few of my favorites.  Oh and did I mention a special guest star? 

This is the second of three props by ~Tableau Vivant~ for Festival of Sin.  Wrath,  it's dark, gloomy and spectacularly done.  My beautiful dress is from MiaMai called Lyssa,  which is another amazing find at Festival of Sin.  I am in love with the dark and temptress quality to this dress.  

Look what we have here... I convinced Bouncer Criss of Pixel Fashion 4 Men and Bounce This Poses to come over and pose with me.  It was fun having him in the studio with me,  and what woman would complain about being draped over a hot man for an hour?  Bouncer was gracious enough to put on a thong to match my beautiful Leopards Rage Bodysuit made by -[AddiCt]- made for Festival of Sin. 

I can't thank Bouncer enough for taking time out of his busy schedule to model with me.  Here's to hoping I can kidnap him again soon for another shoot.  

Have you been to Festival of Sin yet?  Really?  You should go check it out before it ends on March 3rd. 

Here is your taxi to the Festival of Sin.  Happy shopping!

Relaxing is a Sin?

Yesterday was exhausting,  long day in RL so I never really got a chance to post. When was the last time you sat to relax in SL,  or RL for that matter?  Okay so no relaxing is not a sin... however sloth is.  Continuing with my 7 days of sin,  I thought a day of rest and relaxation would do me some good. So after a day of doing nothing at all,  and being all sloth like I'm finally getting back to work.

As many times as I have said it in the past few days,  the Festival of Sin is definitely worth the lag to go this adorable Cheeky Pea Charlie Chaise.  It's color changing with 4 different options to suit your mood,  or your decor. It's now a permanent part of my house. 

 Until I throw out my house and move into this cute Lazy Bum Skybox by Pestle & Twig,  then it will be there too.  Honestly I have no idea what to use my new skybox for,  possibly a new studio. The textures are beautifully done,  it's the perfect size and even has a cute little pool in the middle. 

The Pizza box you see on the floor is from {.:exposeur:.},  made for the Festival of Sin.  Oh and it's free.  My outfit is from *BOOM* also at Festival of Sin.  An adorable sports bra and pair of sweatpants.  So perfect for a lazy day around the house.  You can also pick them up at their mainstore.  

Have you been to the Festival of Sin yet?  Well what are you waiting for,  there is still a week left.  Stay tuned for a guest appearance you will not want to miss,  in the coming days. 

Here is your taxi to the Festival of Sin.  Happy shopping!

A Little Greedy Aren't We?

Another day of sinning for me.  Greed is a funny thing isn't it?  Most of the time we don't even realize how greedy we are.  I'll admit to being greedy.  Plus,  how can someone pass up the opportunity to take half naked pictures surrounded by money and blog about it? 

I've been going on about the Festival of Sin for days now,  but having bought so much stuff there to show you there will still be a few more days of posts.  Long Awkward Pose,  or  [LAP]  has some epic poses out at Festival of Sin right now. 

This first pose is called Bet Your Bottom Dollar.  I love that the poses come with wearable money as well as extra money to put on the ground.  Oh my,  and the credit card in my mouth is priceless.  How can one not love being surrounded by hundred dollar bills?  For this pose a cute bra and panties set from *Mon Cheri* seemed fitting,  as well as cute pumps from Mstyle.

I also picked up this skin from ::Exodi:: called Sophie Soleil made for Festival of Sin.  It comes in two styles,  Money and To Burn.  The detailed green eye shadow on Money made me have to have it.  

Rollin in Dough as this one is named is my absolute favorite of the bunch.  The urge to get naked was too great to suppress so,  you get a naked money covered Maci.  With both poses I had to adjust the wearable money to fit my body since everyone's curves are different right?  

I am also wearing Mesh hair from Exile called Rivers Run which I bought at Festival of Sin as well (though you can buy it in the mainstore too.)  No woman will pass up an opportunity to wear her favorite diamond necklace either,  so I'm wearing Donna Flora's Naila necklace. 

There are still 4 more days of Sin to go.  There is also still plenty of time to head to Festival of Sin,  the doors will not close till March 3rd.

Here is your taxi to the Festival of Sin.  Happy shopping!

Once a Sinner... Always a Sinner.

Am I right that there are two sides to every sin?  The softer, partially innocent side, and then the dark, and somewhat twisted side.  Vanity is one of those sins that may look all sweet and innocent on the outside and be dark and twisted, even rooted with a few other sins right?  

Okay, it's possible that I am wrong.  However, I choose to believe that I can be sweet and maybe even a little innocent sometimes. Without a doubt I am vain,  this is clear. I'm even pretty sure I have admitted it before.  

Getting back on topic... the Festival of Sin. Currently going on right now FOS is packed full of amazing finds.  I spent way too much there really. This outfit was in the Vanity part of the sim.  The store; called  {Happy}  has some adorable clothes.  I felt sweet and innocent posing in the high waist Preen Pants and Timeless Beauty Blouse, covered in lace and frills. I had never heard of {Happy} before but I will be going back there soon. My hair is Frenchie from !lamb.,  not actually at the FOS event however fit my semi innocent look.

~Tableau Vivant~ made three spectacular pose props for FOS.  Yes in fact I bought all three. The one you see here is Vanity,  with its gold, yellow and green tones.  I cannot say enough good things about them,  how many excuses can we come up with to use them?  

I chose to go the seductress route when taking pics with this prop.  -[AddiCt]- came out with an  FOS  exclusive version of their Leopards Rage Bodysuit.  I definitely need this in all the colors.  The texture is beautifully done,  and looks so absolutely amazing on me I never want to take it off.  I also threw on a lace tattoo layer face mask from Pink Acid,  some adorable new hair from !lamb. called Sweet Pea,  and my favorite  Similar  Scilla heels.  I think I pulled dark and seductive vanity off very well.  There I go again with the vanity... will it never end?

Here is your taxi to the Festival of Sin.  Happy shopping!

Try Not To Envy Me....

We've all heard about the Festival of Sin going on right now... right?  Well if you haven't you might want to go down and take a look.  I have been shopping a little at a time over the past few days and spent way too much money.  However it was worth it I swear.  Are you ready for 7 days of Sin?  Yes that's right I'm going to do 7 Sin related posts with my finds.

Have you ever heard of Virtual Props and Poses?  Mykala Klossovsky,  the mastermind behind the fabulous store,  made props for every Sin.   I loved them all and thought I would show you my two favorites Pride and Envy.

The land has grown cold,  it's barren,  all that remains is her.  Shes's turned cold.  She stares at in the mirror eyeing her own reflection.  How can she envy herself?  Her own refection?  She has no shame,  it has slowly driven her mad. He will strike her down,  make her into the one thing she hates.  Will she still envy herself then?  

The world goes black...

She arches her back as she awakens.  When she discovers what has happened to her she cannot speak.  Slowly lifting her arm up behind her head,  she cannot help but to embrace her new skin.  She basks in the glory the little bit of light that shines upon her.  Nothing remains in the wasteland she inhabits now.  He turned her into a creature so hideous no one would ever glance her way,  that is if anyone was around.  He's testing her... Will she pass his test?

As always enjoy your shopping...  and don't forget to head over to the Festival of Sin to check it out.  Just make sure your script count is below 60 or you can't go in. Don't forget to check back tomorrow to what trouble I get in next.

Stuff in Stock...

Hello my Lovelies,  I have some exciting news.  Today a seemingly random notecard showed up in my inventory.  I have no idea how the person who sent it got my name,  but was so excited to hear about a new event! 

 It's called Stuff in Stock (S I S),  a group of designers got together and put out exclusive items in the theme of the event.  Did I mention the prices of these items is 30 - 80L?  Every two weeks there will be a new theme,  and new items from fabulous designers. To start out the theme is sensuality.

My first dress is the Let's Talk About Stuff In Stock from Le Lolo.  It's an adorable Mesh dress decorated with some of the lyrics to the song "Let's Talk About Sex".  Is it bad that I have an endless loop of that song in my head now?  Anyway... I also found this adorable skin from  JeSyLiLO made just for the event. I added some cute Jewelry made by Maxi Gossamer, adorable pumps from *G Field* and a cute hair by Dameslfly. 

Next I found this Winter Dress from Retro'.  Isn't it adorable,  I'm a sucker for mini dresses I can pair with a cute pair of leggings or jeans.  The pattern on it is beautiful,  I love the Leopard print on the chest and neck. The little bag I'm holding is the Imperial Pochette by Scrub,  also at the event. My Shoes are from Maitreya, and I threw on some cute cropped pants from Plastik. Added more Jewelry by Maxi Gossamer and some cute Truth hair to finish out my look. 

The third and final item I bought at S I S is the Leopard Dress by :: C'est le vie !::.  How could I resist this  adorable dress?  It's beautifully sculpted and elegantly textured. I threw on some cute pumps by {mon tissu}  and some cute hair by fri.day to finish out my look.  I think I look a little dangerous,  like I'm ready for some ass kicking... Go Me!  

I highly recommend taking a trip over to Stuff in Stock,  and while you are there sign up for updates so you can be ready for the next collection!  Happy shopping!

Apple May does MESH!

Hello again my lovelies,  it's been a long couple of days in RL.  But boy do I have some hot finds for you.   Apple May Designs has been around since 2007,  I discovered her store shortly after beginning my journey in SL.  She makes amazingly cute outfits,  separates,  jewelry,  and shoes!  The best part is it isn't expensive at all.  

Recently Apple May has been using mesh.  We all know how I feel about mesh.  So when one of my favorite designers started making clothes in mesh,  I had to go shopping.

My first outfit is Minerva.  It's a cute little dress and a mesh tank.  The texture on the tank is beautifully done.  I paired it with the Dew Drop bracelet also made by Apple May,  the Sen necklace form Miel,  and Elikatira's Later hair.  Did I mention that I'm still wearing it?  

Next I have this cute little red dress called Ester.  How can you not love the adorable ruffles at the waist,  and the cute mid thigh cut?  You can also buy this little dress in black. She also has glitter pumps to match in both colors.  Also I could not resist this pearl set from Maxi Gossamer,  and yes it is also mesh. My sweet husband bought them for me for Valentines Day. I decided to wear the Rain from Lelutka to finish off my outfit.

I couldn't help but get this beautifully done mesh shirt with patterned leggings outfit called Counting Stars.  The top has an adorable graphic on it.  The top would look amazing with jeans as well. I love leggings so I'm sure these will get worn out soon.  I added Lacie Cakes' Deanne Bracelets and {mon tissu}'s Take Flight Necklace.  My hair is from Truth and called Janice,  and my beautiful shoes are from Maitreya called Esprit.

This is the latest release from Apple May,  a beautiful mesh Free Bird Maxi Skirt.  To go with it she also made these cute tank tops and a stunning Boho Scarf.  Personally maxi skirts make me happy,  I have 4 in RL and spend a good part of the summer wearing them.  How can you not feel free and Gypsy like in a cute maxi skirt?  I decided to wear a cute Little Rock Bracelet also by Apple May and fri.day's Tatum2 hair to complete my Gypsy look. 

I suggest a trip to Apple May soon if you haven't already been,  you will not be disappointed.  If you join the group you can be the first to know about her new releases and occasionally Apple May sends out adorable freebies.

A Lonely Valentine...

Oh wonderful,  today is Valentines Day.  I'm happily married and should be happy about a day of romance spent with my amazing husband right?  No,  not so much.  See,  my dear husband is at work tonight while I sit at home sulking and romancing myself it seems.  

I had a whole romantic night ready for us.  Even  a very cute new bra and panties set to seduce my dear husband.  However he had to work and of course doesn't tell me till the last minute right?  You know what they say about your best laid plans.

So...  I drew myself a bath and threw some rose petals in it.  Wrapped myself in a towel,  drank half a bottle of wine and climbed into the nice warm tub to commence my sulking.

Yes,  The whole bottle of wine is gone.  What can I say,  a lonely valentines day does crazy things to me.  Who knew that a bath full of rose petals and a bottle of wine would actually be what I needed tonight?

I'd finally embraced the loneliness and was wrapping up my bath when the phone rang.  It was him,  telling me he loves me and we had tomorrow and the rest of our lives to make up for this one night.  That was all I needed to hear.  My night was made. 

So I threw on my cute little bra and panties set and crawled into bed to wait for him to get home.  He'll probably be home around midnight...  and I will be waiting.

Tomorrow is my day of rest... sadly that means no blog post.  However on Thursday I'll be back. Enjoy the rest of you're Valentines Day.

How about a Girls Night? Blog Challenge Day 11

So I met this sweet girl a few months ago.  We've been close for awhile now,  closer more recently.  My  sweet Jade,  whom I adore.  If I could keep this little morsel locked up and away from the dirty men who can't help but think dirty thoughts about her,  life would be perfect. 

Jade and I are an odd pair,  completely opposite but so in tuned to each other.  I haven't had a friend in so long,  to do insane crazy "stupidly girly" things with.  Before you ask no, we are not... oh okay maybe we are a little "into each other" but in an innocent exploratory way. She's exquisite,  and I would find myself occasionally wondering if she thinks about me the way I do of her. 

Upon begging her to come over and play with me in the studio how could she say no?  She was totally ready and willing to get down to her unmentionables and play along.  Maybe even a little too willing,  right then and there my question was answered.  I had my opportunity to explore a little.  

I took her shopping first,  even picked out something cute for her to wear.  She obliged with no hesitation and we jumped right into pictures. Keeping my hands to myself was hard,  just look at that body.  Who wouldn't fantasize about her?

  It wasn't until my husband showed up that I went for it... a soft kiss on her supple lips.  A tease for any man,  but for a man to watch his wife kiss another girl...  He melted into a puddle,  just sat there and watched me kiss the sweet sexy girl before me.  We only teased him for a little while before we parted and got dressed,  both moving on with our evenings.  It leaves me wondering when I get to taste those sweet lips again,  and if my husband can handle watching it?

Stay tuned to see what I cooked up for Valentines Day.  And as always... have fun shopping!

A Little Rendezvous... Blog Challenge Day 10

Time for a little rendezvous with a very cute boy.  Ever felt like a desperate housewife?  Yes I do watch that silly show,  and love it.  The opportunity to play a bored desperate housewife was too good to not embrace.  My sweet boy Esmiel was a good sport letting me play with him for a couple hours with no complaints.

We stole away to a seedy motel room in a bad part of town.  In no time we were down to our unmentionables.  As any good boy would do he clung tightly to my leg begging me to let him explore his desires.  I whisper into his ear soft reassurances that he will get his wish. 

Poor sweet Esmiel has no idea what he got himself into... does he?  He enjoys the tease,  something he just cannot resist in the same room with such a strong powerful woman.  What he doesn't know is he will never actually get what he wants... will he?  Just a few sweet moments of teasing is all he will have to hold onto tomorrow.

When he finally realizes it was all just a tease,  all he can do is sulk.  My poor sweet boy,  oh how I adore him.  He will be fine I promise,  this is a game we have played for months.  Always with the same ending,  He walks away wishing for more and holding onto that hope of one day getting what he wants. 

Oh Esmiel my sweet... Can we do this again some time? Setting up this shoot with him was amazing.  He is such a sweet boy,  always up for anything.  Thank goodness I have such a willing participants in my epic adventures. Here's to hoping for more in the future!

Over the moon for Mons... Blog Challenge Day 9

So it's day 9 of Gogo's lingerie challenge and I decided to go back to basics with something simple and pure.  Honestly this last week trying to come up with a new and exciting post centered around lingerie has been fun. Thank you Gogo for your inspiration and your wonderful Blog juicybomb.com.

The Dressing Room Blue (TDRB) has all sorts of  cute little things that I always have to buy.  This month's shop of the collection is MONS.  You just have to take the TP to the main store get this cute bra and panties set.  It comes with bunny ears and a tail which are both completely adorable. The texture is soft and subtle, as well as elegant and sexy.

I've been shopping around for more props because new options are limited.  Then it hit me, putting cute little room scenes together with what is already in my inventory is an easy solution. Taber built me a cute little room to use, isn't that super sweet of him?  So I threw a bunch of cute decorations in around my Glitterati Justified Couch, and snapped a few cute shots.

Of course I'm still on the look out for new props,  aren't all photographers?  For now creating cute little scenes for my photo sessions actually turned out to be fun.  There is plenty more where this came from,  my mission to keep my blog fun and interesting continues. 

Stay tuned for tomorrow when the heat is turned way up for day 10 of the lingerie challenge.  As always it's been a pleasure.

And now for some Vintage and Undies...

Today I'm killing two birds with one stone...  Figuratively that is.  Collabor88  just opened up with a brand new set of awesome new items.  One of which is a cute little bra and panties set from Whippet & Buck.  Which is absolutely perfect for day 8 of my lingerie challenge, lucky me!  There was so much awesome newness picking what to blog was hard. 

Whippet & Buck has this adorable set of sexy little undies set called Tess Underthings for 88L each in 6 different color options.  The fat pack was calling my name.  I chose the cute Mossy and Lemon color,  in an effort to wear something that wasn't pink. This color combination is amazing and looks fantastic on me.  Instant staple, something I will spend hours lounging around in for sure. 

My hair is also new at Collabor88 and made by .: vive9 :..   There are two beautiful braids to choose from this round,  Banged Up and Duchess Braidin.  At 188L you can't go wrong.  Of course both of them now belong to me,  and I refuse to wear anything else right now. 

LISP has this awesome new vintage set called Hodgepodge. Everything is texture change with vibrant colors and such cute animations. The adorable TV,  which until now my inventory was seriously lacking.  It comes with vintage movies you can watch via Youtube's film channel. I played around with it for hours and seem to have broken it.  Go figure,  finally own a TV and it's broken in a few hours.  Looks like Static is my new friend.   Luckily it's copy, and I can just rezz a new one.  Too bad I can't break things in RL and do that!  Oh and it dispenses popcorn!  We are totally going to set this all up in my husband's "man cave" by tomorrow evening.

Kyoot's new Bronte dress is stunning. Elegantly textured,  perfectly cut,  and completely adorable.  The collar with the cute little bow really makes the dress stand out. It comes in 4 different colors each only 88L!  Ingenue also has these beautiful MESH Gatsby heels that go perfectly with this dress.  Also an amazing find is my necklace made by (Yummy) called Miss Havishim's Broken Heart.  The beautiful vintage look is breathtaking,  and a perfect accessory for my dress!

If you have not yet gone over to this month's Collabor88 event,  I recommend you do so soon!  There are more amazing finds then I had room to blog!  Until next time my lovelies,  Enjoy the shopping!
