Bubblegum, tie-dye pop. Falalalala…!!! I really love Church of Luxe and was inspired by their new release dress. After putting it on, I thought the outfit needed some color to it and I didn’t want to add another top so I modded together the belt of one COL dress to the skirt of another. Voila! My kooky look. ;p
I’ve been following Mayden Couture’s Flickr for a while now and was lucky enough to get a preview of the new line. I’m wearing the new Mayden Couture “Cley” skin and I adore it. You may have seen some of the other skins around and the whole line is shaping up to be just brilliant. The best news is they open today, and I’m totally heading over to pick up some more nummyness. Yay!
The ultra cool Dango Jewell dropped me her new releases and I couldn’t be happier with them!! Cute jeweled clutches in an array of colors and patterns. Because straps can be tricky in SL, I’m always looking for a good clutch to take the complication out of wearing something. I especially like these for their chunky, jeweled flap which adds just enough glamour and texture to really catch the eye.
I’m wearing my favorite rose ring by Elate! (I totes had to get the fat pack because I love them so much.) Their default attachment point is the right hand, which is cool because most rings go on the left. Saves me editing it!! Also, LeeZu’s flower headdress has been sitting in my inventory for a while, originally bought for a different outfit and completely forgotten about. :/ But it’s so fantastic, I was incredibly excited upon rediscovery as it’s super interesting and goes perfectly with this look, ftw!
I’ve mixed my favorite paper.couture pearl necklace with [ICoN]’s new Valentine’s release for a chunky/funky necklace. I love how [ICoN]’s comes with two different necklaces, one at the spine attachment point and one at the chest. So you can layer them or mix them with different necklaces as I have done here. Also, stop by [ICoN] and join the group to get a cute Valentine necklace for sale (for free) to group members only. I missed y’all, hopefully I can find a little more time this week to blog before it gets crazy again! =))) xoxo
ps. I really miss blogging a lot! RL has been hectic and busy, etc. etc. and it seems every time I want to post, something else gets in the way. For the next 2-3 weeks, posting here will be sporadic but after that it’s back to the schedule of regular nummyness. <333

Another weekend getaway, to somewhere very, very chilly. I’ll be out of my element for sure, but good things are to come! I’m excited about some RL layering opportunities I’ll have, as well as visiting a place I’ve never been before. In honor of weekend trip #2, here is a cutesy outfit featuring all the winter classics: gloves, scarves, sweaters, earmuffs, boots. And hot cocoa!! =(^..^)=
The pants are *BOOM* and I featured them a while back at Free*Style. It was actually an accident that I got my hands on them early, but ’twas a happy one as these pants are the best!! A favorite for sure! What with the rich colors, the tweed texture and the wide cuffs, they’re the perfect non-boring ‘basic’ for any girl’s closet. (Aranel you did an excellent job on them, and ty <3<#3) I hear that *BOOM* will be having a lil mini hunt for the pants this weekend, so keep your ears perked- you’ll definitely want, wait need, a pair!
I love this scarf because it wraps around the body so nicely, and the sweater is beyond cute. It comes with some seamstress cuffs as well, if you like to be more decorated. >_< Finding this belt made me excited because it’s cute, chunky and comes in a bunch of colors, plus it’s MOD! Ahh, being so small, it’s hard to find a good fitting, cute belt. Thank goodness for this beauty!
Well, wish me a safe flight. I’ll be back on Monday, safe and sound, newly inspired and filled with hot cocoa and marshmallows. xoxo
ps. Dahlia I am coming to your land, full of maple syrup and Tim Hortons. Horray!!

Hello all. <3 This week has proven to be busier than I had imagined. Yours truly is going to be AFK until Monday. A lil, quick, spontaneous jaunt out of town that involves cute boys and the outdoors. Yeah, the outdoors. Don’t believe all the hype that glamour girls are afraid of getting dirty. No, no, quite the contrary. We just know how to clean up better than the rest! ;)) In celebration of my travels, I present to you my no-fail, fool-proof RL travel outfit. {Zaara} read my mind with the new release of pashminas. OMG! Such a classic, beautiful, practical, perfect wardrobe staple! They are gorgeous and so realistic, exactly how one would wear it in real life, draped perfectly around one’s shoulders. *le sigh*
These boots are also something to talk about. A few weeks back, a lil bird dropped me a hit about this store, located in a cute building on an obscure sim. I came to find that there is another, more popular (and wayy busier) location elsewhere. Nevertheless, to me, the thrill is in the find. I love new stores, especially when they house ultra-cool, gorgie boots. To me, I imagine horse stables when I wear these, due in part, to the fact, that I grew up riding. The back buckle detail and the metal work in the front couldn’t be better. Loove them.
One other thing- these pants!! Pure love. The buttons, the back seam, the color. *le sigh* I saw these pants weeks ago and have since been putting together an outfit in my mind. (Yeah, it doesn’t always happen overnight people.) Victory is mine! It took ages, in fashion time, but I love what has come of them and would, and will, wear this outfit until it is (virtually) threadbare.
Have a good weekend everyone, see you next week! >_<
Smooches and cocktails, Abra ♥

I made this outfit a few days ago and have been wearing it since then- a record for me. So comfy and cozy it is, this is what I wear out to Sunday brekkie in RL. Comfortable doesn’t have to lack in sexy/cute/prettiness. All it takes is a little creativity and some great pieces.
