Dress: The dress is a today only (30 April) special from Zif's Creations.

Hair: The one in the picture above is from the lucky board. - You can find hair at nodoka for $1 in the heart shaped box on counter (touch it).

There are only 4 color choices/style most styles include a brown & blonde color while others also include a black color. There is one color which is an auburn but for red heads wishing a more bold color, you'll have to tint.

Jane Says....



She does it again!! Who you may ask? Why, Fallingwater Cellardoor of course! The Shiny Things creator and shoe artist released the Jane Wedges this week and I am drooling over my pairs. Available in 6 gorgeous natural shades and in 2 sizes in each pack! Visit Shiny Things Online and In World

**Update to the Photo..like a putz when I took the original photo for this post, I put on shoes that were a little to big for these toes. I was so enamored with the shoes themselves that I didn't even notice that my toes where hidden behind the straps. So corrected I the size and uploaded the new pics. Sorry about that!**

Other stuff: Skin by Redgrave, and hair by Truth. Dress no longer available.

A Special Thanks to our Sponsors!!!


I would love to announce that our sponsors are the ones who are making our May 18th show possible. Please take a good look. If you need to see it BIGGER just click on the image. xoxo - Kristen May,Angel Lust Loves YOU!!!

Playing Footsies


A couple of quick hits that are worth checking out, new releases from AOHARU Walk, J's Shoes and Kookie. Up first is the just born style from Kookie Lemon, Vogue Strappy Shoes. A fresh heel-less foot in shoe platform with metallic leather straps. Easy skin color change with a colour tinted ball that you rez and customize, and a HUD for nail color and the ankle fix options. These are available in multiple colors.


Next up is the attractive Flat Gladiator Sandal from AOHARU Walk. Like the rest of the Luxury Line more cute feet, but these are a flat which is less common. I like all the little details and the join at the leg looks great after minor fit adjustment. A sassy kinda flat sandal for sure. These are worth grabbing in your favorite shade.


Finally is today's release from J's, the Flip-Flap and Barefoot. Of all the foot in shoe styles I have tried I found these the trickiest to tint, but once i got them matched the result was rather nice. I love these flat foot styles and a flip flop is great shoe to have with the foot. These also come with the option of nail colors and can be worn as a bare foot too... which would be nice for photos but will likely need some retouch at the ankle. These come with a pair of cute flowered anklets to help disguise the join point.

Visit Kookie, AOHARU and J's Shoes.

The stuff; with Kookie - Redgrave Skin, LAQ Hair, Elate! Dress, LeLutka Accessories. with AOHARU - Redgrave Skin, Junwave Hair, TULI Top, COCO Short Denim with Belt, M.R.M. Bracelets. with J's - Redgrave Skin, ETD Ltd. Edition Hair (No Longer Available), League Frayed Skirt, Accessories by M.R.M. and UnTone.

THE ORIGINAL CUPCAKE WHORE


One of my best virtual friends Deanna aka "THE ORIGINAL CUPCAKE WHORE" let me in on some great tasty treats I want to share with you. D and I are very much alike. We both have excellent DNA,a love for rock music,and girly pop!!! We love to stuff our faces with sweets. Anyway let me share the love...

Yes, I make rose cupcakes. The frosting includes rose extract and crushed rose petals.


The yogurt I was talking about is a French yogurt - Mamie Nova violet yogurt. The Rhubarbe Rose is good too. It's available in the states, but you have to look around. Try Dean and Deluca in SoHo.


There are other good brands of French or violet yogurt in the states, as well.


Rachel's yogurt is one of my favorite brands (it's not French though). It comes in lovely flavors like lavender, and pomegranate. It's available at Whole Foods.


XOXO

Film Noir

I just finished watching this movie.

I put it on my Netflix queue because I was trying to find this movie I had watched as a child and
loved. Alain Delon in a trench coat looked really familiar, so I picked a movie he was in, pretty much at random -- that turned out to be Le Samourai. The best part about this? I picked the right movie! I'm obsessed with this film (and will definitely be buying it ASAP), so lots of pics:

This one is my favorite picture, other than the DVD cover.

And lest you think this has nothing to do with fashion, check out this Samourai-inspired shirt by the French designers Sixpack.
Unfortunately, this limited edition is sold out, but thanks to the internet, it lives on. Funny thing is, they picked the absolute worst picture of Delon I've ever seen. He looks absolutely gorgeous in the movie!

Please remember if you need to get in contact me in world USE A NOTE CARD. I will never respond to random IMs from people who aren't friends or those not in sight. When I crash your IM disappears, if you're not on my friend's list I have no clue who you are. Furthmore, I will not show or give direct slurls to hunt items (please read faq at bottom of this page) - it defeats the purpose of a HUNT. Please join the sponsors group to find exact specifics for each respective hunt, a freebie chat group, or a fashion help group like Vain Inc. Remember, hunting in groups is always better. If you have a question you should be able to post it as a comment via this blog and I or someone who reads will give you answers/help asap and if you leave your inworld name it makes it easier for anyone who reads a question to contact you. ^^

Also, I've been asked to start a group. While this may be flattering, I do not have the time to manage a group nor group slots to spare. =[ There are tons of freebie groups in world that disperse information about freebies. I recommend looking at the list of freebie blogs and choosing a group to join from that list (free*style, freebie telegraph, fab free, schnaeppchen, ...).

The Shiny Truth!!!!


I've come to this conclusion: "Graci slacks, therefore she is"  Yes, yet again I'm cheating and combining my posts for this week. But I have to say, what great shoes I have for you today. 

From Fallingwater Cellardoor of Shiny Things are the Hyasynths named for the Silentsparrow creator, Hyasynth. A very platformed shoe, the fine details of the straps with the cute stars make this a fab shoe. Available in red and black versions, there is also a dress from Silentsparrow to go with the shoes. Visit Shiny Things Online and In World

Truth Hawks has been a busy bee, not only was there a shoe release recently, but I think more hair, clothes and accessories such as belts and bags. Here I have on the Wests high tops. Available in a lot of color combinations and in both female and male sizes. A fun shoe for lounging or playing. Visit Truth Online and In World

Other Stuff: Shiny Things - Hair by Truth, Skin by Redgrave, Dress by Fuel. Truth - Hair by ETD, Skin by Redgrave, Shirt by Launa Fauna, Sock and Shorts by Detour.

Extra Skinny
