A pattern-filled, wintery outfit for those experiencing winter in the Southern Hemi. Not for those faint of heart or shy of color. The rest of us can have some fun.

Hi all! Another simple outfit with all the things I’m loving atm…and no, I couldn’t change my socks and shoes. I am in love, OK? ;P
Everyone’s going fishy for strawberries, me included! I love this dress and it’s been a big hit amongst the blogger gang. For good reason, it’s sexy, cute, summery and layerable! Very well executed Fae! You can pick up your own in white (or black!) at Fishy Strawberry!
Nylon Outfitters just released some new skins and they are rockin’! 4 tones x 12 makeups + tintable brows = a whole lot of lovin’! The facial features are very similar to the last (NO) skin release, but the shading is more dramatic and, I think, summery. Like you spent a lot of time out in the sun. I’ve really grown to love the shading and it’s a new fav for sure! Another big perk is Nylon isn’t afraid to use bold makeup on her skins, which is SO refreshing! I was lame in the fact that I chose to wear the ‘plain’ skin in this post…but it’s so durn pretty that I had to. But you gotta check out the bolder shades as well, think bindis, graphically bright eye makeups, bold lips….yum. I did a little comparison below, of the latest and previous release, so we can see the evolution of the face. =D Take a look! <33Love, Abra

swooshhh, there runs the punk arse bride…
July 7, 2009
Hi I’m back from my mini-trip and feeling good. Here’s a little tipple of an outfit that I wore to LaGyo‘s Circus Collection launch party tonight (plus and minus a few things, due to deprimming). It’s a funky little outfit I call my own. Almost not circus-y, unless a punk ass runaway bride could make the show. About the collection: I’m deeply in love with Gyorgyna’s new collection. It’ not freakish or bright like a carnival, but deeply rich and glamourous and detailed like, say, a Cirque du Soleil performance. Dripping jeweled necklaces, embellished bangles, oversized earrings, lots of metal and precious stones and eye decorations! I am a very happy woman!
My skin is LAQ‘s new release, Claudia, a face that I just covet, though it’s release hasn’t gotten as much coverage as April. If April is the softly glamourous, ethereally delicate one, then Claudia is her refined, lushly exotic first cousin. Glowy-soft and so pretty in the style that could only be LAQ, Claudia is radiant with plush lips, dark brows and lightly tanned skin. I think her features would serve well in a fairer shade as well, with lighter brows…but this may just be a preference of mine since I am usually more ‘milky.’ The dark tone only makes me want to indulge in this face more- all summer long.
This kickin’ hairdo is by Undo of Shade Throne, and is one of 4 hair styles she is releasing today. All 4 styles come in 4 staple colors: dark platinum blond, blood red, chestnut brown and inky black. Just like Undo’s whole line, her new hairs exude glamour and attitude, two essentials of fashion. The concept behind the styles is ‘wet hair,’ as if you got out of the shower, pool or ocean- this can easily be translated into a good night’s bed-head or sexy tousled locks. Grab one or, if you’re smart, all of them. imho, they’re that good. <333Love, Abra

Daphne, ILY!
June 27, 2009
Today, Fishy Strawberry releases it’s first ever skin: Daphne. I’m so incredibly excited about this release, and I think Fae did an excellent job! Daphne comes in 3 skin tones, each in 11 makeup variations, with black, brown and blond eyebrow options, and with or without a hairline. OMG!! Yes, she dun gone and thought of everything…
Daphne’s face is super cute. Super. Cute. Think strong Brows, flirty eyes, juicy, kisssssable lips and dimples! Omg, the world’s most perfect dimples!! /me swoooons… Daphne’s body is softly sculpted, with even lighting throughout. Think soft, glowing, perfectly moisturized skin. (Not ‘greasy’ or ‘oiled’, and certainly not ‘flat.) Her bum is cute and I love the little mole on the right breast! (not pictured, so you can discover it for yourself…)
There’s also a ‘deluxe demo’ in an exclusive makeup in the Fishy Strawberry subscrib-o-matic, so join up and check the history for it. Try it on, fall in love, go back for more…that’s the way it works folks! <333Love, Abra
Pretty Lovely, So Comfortable
October 13, 2008
=(^_^)= Just a quick hi and a quick post. I have not forgotten about my lil cozy blog! RL has been busy and I’ve been settling into F*S. I gots more to come, lots is cookin’, but until then, here’s an outfit made of some of my favorite things as of now.
I’ve seen this Fishy Strawberry mini-hoody around a lot, but that isn’t going to stop me from wearing mine. It’s so darn cute! My jeans are from Embellished and they are sexy/kyoot, flattering, nice pockets and dirt cheap! I love them so much I’m going back for more colors after I finish posting this.
I love my Kookie muggys! I like wearing heels because I’m short, but I think I’m a flats convert now. And I have to tell you about my earrings, they are from an amazing jewelry shop, *UnTone*. I seriously, seriously want to own everything in there and had soo much trouble deciding until I saw these earrings. Love at first sight, I scooped them up along with the matching necklace. A little bit ethnic, refined and gorgeous. The details & construction are perfect in my book. Check them out, but only if you can spend because you will!
The tube top is a today-only freebie @ Boom, see my Free*Style post for more details.
More updates to come soon! Luv ya. <3<3

Hi October
October 4, 2008
O fall, how you sneak up on a girl! Well that’s okay, I forgive you. Because I like the weather, and also because I love to layer and you give me good excuses to do just that. This DP*yumyum coat is very yum yum. I love the pattern/embroidery on the front, the toggle closures, the warm hood. Paired with simple things it does wonders on it’s own. Sometimes it’s good to pile on the statement pieces, but for now, here, I like this jacket as the focal point. And it holds it’s own so beautifully.
ps. The lovely & talented Morgana is doing a sweet photo project called ‘Lagoon’ over at flickr. Yours truly volunteered to be a part of it, how could I resist? Take a look and send a message her way if you’re interested in participating. http://flickr.com/photos/morganahilra/2911841214/
