Had a bit of fun today playing about with pieces from Valena’s soon to be released contributions to the LeLutka summer collection. I love their modularity, you can shuffle and re-combine the tops and bottoms from each outfit to create your own, and can even play further by retinting the light coloured elements for a little mismatched madness.

Just saw that these amazingly cute bags from HOC in the shape of take out containers were released today and it was instant love. All five patterns for 50L. Also AOHARU‘s 50% sale ends tomorrow at 11pm.
The sale going on right now at Thimbles is just irresistible. Not only is the basement chock-full of some of my favourite items discounted at 25L and under (alot of them at 5L even), but I found in the upper floors some garments that I had missed, such as this dress or some plaid shorts that I loved.
Then today I saw this skin and it had me rushing to Atomic to check it out. I love the red lips! It’s called Faith, there is I think about 6 tones to choose from, and 3 make-ups (bare, nude gloss and smeared red gloss), and a freckled or non-freckled option. Can’t tell you much about the body, I haven’t looked at it, but I assume it must be fine.
Also, everything at Cherry is 50L until the 17th. It’s the shoes and accessories outlet, part of London Dailey’s House of London emporium. I went there and picked a few of these pumps. I have a lot of the ballets and some of the boots already but had never gotten the pumps since I have so many from Juicy and Maitreya, but now I had no reason not to get some, and now that I have them on I think they’re like an almost perfect compromise between the Juicy pumps and the Maitreya Slinkys.
Aaaand there has been a release of two hairs at Mirone, Faye having been my favourite one, shown in the middle.

The Zooby’s pug carrier is more popular but being a cat lady I adored this cat as soon as I saw it a few days ago, and had to have it! I love it more than even the napping or walking versions. Somehow it looks way companionable. I was also on just in time for these sandals, newly released at Coco. Close-up here. The tinting menu is handy enough, I just wish it could affect both feet at the same time, instead of having to tint each one individually. But the shoe itself looks really quite fantastic.

I’ve been having difficulty mustering the will to come online for a little while, so posting may be a little sporadic while that lasts. Woot.
Tonight, I kicked myself in the arse hard enough so that I would post something semi-decent to show these shoes from Adam n Eve, the shape of which I really love, contemporary, with a stubby toe and solid lines, as well as these fab earrings that kinda make me feel like I’m wearing some beautiful dessicated giant moths that were rearranged in parts on either side of my face. Which strangely doesn’t feel icky, but really rather titillating.
There. Are. Not. Enough. Original. Earrings. Around. And. Belts. Too.
Also, yay for postponing this, as I got to use Chance‘s latest set of poses ! I’m always thrilled when he gives me new ones to work with. They bring that extra touch of attitude I love. <3
Mwah!
The stuff: Hair: Wot (Lili Revnik), Skin: Fashionably Dead (Toast Bard), Earrings: Shade Throne (Undo Hermano), Jacket: Beauty Avatar (Amberly Boccaccio), Shirt: Emery (sunami Beck), Belt: M * A * ii * K * I (Beauvoir Rousselot), Hotpants: GiGi (Giana Paine), Pumps & Clutch: Adam n Eve (Damen Gorilla).
Apparently, La Besace has finally opened, I’m not sure when, but today I went to pick up a few items. I dearly wish those could have come modifiable so that I could remove the full-bright option. Personally, I find it makes things look less natural as it removes all the shadows, and makes it all, you know, bright ? That said, those bags are very interesting, and more remarkably, they come with the best functionalities I have seen in a handbag so far. The crocodile cabas can be worn over the shoulder, the forearm or on the hand, and each option has their own three very loveable animations. Sitting will trigger its own overrider as well. Same for the pochette bag which can be worn under the arm or on the hand. In passing, the coloured pochette bags are much nicer than the black one I chose to feature, and are adorned with yummy flowers instead of the bow. La Besace also has shoes, more particularly, some really cute summery wedges.
Also, Glow Studio has new glasses and eyelashes today, and the teary-eyed mascara set is a dollarbie at the moment. Very nice! And I instantly looooved those BlingBling Shades, but rest assured, they don’t actually bling.
Lastly, SteinWerk has released these Fee sunglasses, which are on every level absolutely perfect! The design is very fashion and high-end, go demo them and just look at the branches! Like every pair of shades from SteinWerk, they come with a customising, resizing menu that also has a handy button to move them up or down your nose. I think they are now my favourite pair from there!
The stuff: Hair: Inorite (Violet Morellet), Fur hat: LeLutka (Thora Charron), Old group gift Skin: Rockberry (Heather Beebe), Silver bling glasses: Glow Studio (Anemysk Karu), The other glasses: SteinWerk (Aveline Stein), Jacket: Bianca Foulon, Skirt & Leggings: Emery (sunami Beck), Bags & Shoes: La Besace (Myralda Minnelli).
This has got to be my most favourite piece from Marni Grut’s upcoming series of releases so far. I had no idea when I grabbed it how you were supposed to wear it, I actually assumed it must be a skirt, but once I had it on, mamma mia! I loooooove it. It’s all at once goofy, crazy and couture and I demand for more of this!
The new line will be available for purchase at Royal Blue on May 13th, noon.
The stuff: Hair: Tiny Bird (Autumn Hykova), Skin: Fashionably Dead (Toast Bard), Hat: The Dogs (JDDM Catteneo), Dress: Royal Blue (Marni Grut), Kitten heels: Digit Darkes.

Poses by Chance Greatrex. Thank you! <3
I did not log on with a very particular idea as to what to blog about today but fortunately I had a bunch of stuff backlogged I’d been wanting to cover for about a week or so, and wheee, I think I managed to sort of throw them together.
First off, a few more accessories from +plus, which has a very wide assortment of stylish, flawlessly executed handbags, necklaces, belts, and so on. I’d been postponing going to the shop to procure new things to feature because from the pictures on Helena’s blog, I had assumed I would ruin myself if I rushed there. Well, actually I wouldn’t have! Her items are surprisingly friendly considering the quality of her products, so you don’t have to hold off buying things in several colours to be sure you can match them with your outfit. Another reason to love +plus, that and also Helena Compton is an absolute darling! And believe me, I’m trying to contain myself here, because I already spent most of my afternoon privately gushing to myself over some of my friends.
Now, check those aviators from SteinWerk ! I instantly fell for them, and think they may be the best aviators I have stumbled upon to date, though I’ll have to give Emery’s a try sometime. I asked their creator to give me more of her stuff so I could show off some more items on the blog, so here are also the Scarlet glasses, the Nightstalker leather strap watch, and the Steam Machine, which can also look like you’re carrying a ticking little bomb on your wrist. And yes, I’m getting a kick out of that.
The brown double leather wrist strap is a freebie I just picked up at MM’s, the workmanship on that seems to me equal to everything else covered in this post, and I’m loving it.
Warmest thanks to the couple of awesome creators lately who have been willing to give me some of the items I wanted to cover here!
The stuff: Hair: Roge (Jurian Magic), Skin: Domestic V (Mairead Broek), Glasses & Watches: SteinWerk (Aveline Stein), Earrings & Bag: +plus (Helena Compton), Cigarette: Gentleman (Ralph Dirval), Free leather strap: MM’s (takawo Quan), Sheer Shirt: Ema’s secret (Emanuelle Bury), T-shirt: Little Fish (fionay Dill), Skirt: Bianca Foulon, Pumps: J’s (JB Gazov).
