Moving Target

If your New Years resolutions include anything approaching 'get more exercise', I feel ya! The first step to actually following through on your plan will be to look the part. I am the master of looking like I exercise without actually moving off the sofa, with that in mind, I am showcasing this fun athleisure look from Blueberry, perfect for planners that aren't necessarily doers. A sassy little fitted top with fun strap ties, and a skirt with sporty stripes and slit, I even added these casual sneakers from Baiastice to round out the look. New hair from Exile has that perfect edgy vibe for the new year, make sure you check out Collabor88 and TLC this month for even more fashion solutions to your resolutions!

Rose Gold

The Holidays are usually a time of parties and celebrations with friends, and as the Holiday Season approaches once again it is the perfect time to put together a few party going looks that make you feel sexy, sleek and seductive. Wearing Metallics is one was to do that, and a few of my favorite designers are fulfilling my needs perfectly right now. Gos Boutique released the stunning zipper heeled Bianca Pumps at Uber, and they are truly exquisite. Just BECAUSE has the Wendy Dress out at FaMESHed, and it has just the right metallic sparkle to pair perfectly with the pumps. I am ready to step out and sparkle in this outfit, I feel like an ornament, in the very best sort of way!

Mood Lighting

 

Baiastice just keeps on doing so much right... the releases of late have had so much variety, from Long Coats to Lingerie, and Boots to Accessories. Case in point, Elle Lingerie, just out at FaMESHed, and the luxurious jewelry set, Kioto; featuring a collection of sweet doves that form a wide collar and matching earrings, dotted with crystals, these elegant items manage to form a very solid style. You can find these jewels at the latest round of The Liaison Collaborative. Doesn't it all put you in a very exotic mood?

Chill Out

 

As much as I love bundling up to face the chill outside at this time of year, I cannot deny that wearing something a little... less, is also very appealing. Blueberry is always a great place to find skimpy, sexy and well made garments, like the newly released Ela items, a mini fur trimmed bomber with tube top option, and a pair of short denims. Gos released some great open toed booties, Kendall, that work perfectly with Ela, the materials are spectacular looking, and they come with a handy visual HUD in the Blueberry colors, so you can color match precisely. I am all about chilling out in this look, time to get out there!

First Snow

Trying to get back in the swing of things, so many amazing new releases to catch up on... please bear with me. Staying warm in style as the weather turns crisp, Cynful has released a trio of items at the Tannenbaum Holiday Market, a must shop event for the holiday loving fashionista. I matched them up with the previously released Sadystika's Pants, making the dress into a long top, an option that I adore. The hair from Runaway was designed with the new Cynful fur vest in mind, you can find it at Tannenbaum too, it comes beautifully textured and includes style options for the braid, even a holiday hair accessory. Who could ask for anything more?

Little Runaway

I have never been great at lacing stuff up, even as a kid. You know those dolls that have buttons to close and zippers to open, and laces to practice with? They are supposed to be great for teaching little fingers dexterity and whatnot. I always got them all wonky, so thank goodness for SL, and these pre-laced up garments from Blueberry and CandyDoll, both are available at the current round of Collabor88. It is a great sexy look, and a little bit of fun for me in these ultra-long pants that hit the floor. All laced up and ready to run.

Dolly Pieces

 

Interesting Anessa trivia time... well ok, maybe not interesting, but definitely Anessa... as a young child I became attached to a ragdoll that came in a flower arrangement when I was born, it sat on a dresser in my nursery, not really meant to be a play toy, but I begged for it and eventually carried it everywhere. My mother had to reassemble and rebuild the doll multiple times, removing the foam insides and replacing it with proper stuffing. Alas, the doll just wasn't meant to last long, and eventually it became just a few bits and pieces, or 'dolly pieces' as I called them, and I would often just carry around an amputated doll arm or leg until I eventually lost them all (or rather my Mom finally managed to discard them).  Exile has just released a style called Doll Parts at Collabor88, and the name inspired me to share the story and the adorable Vera outfit from The Secret Store, also at Collabor88.

Did you have a favorite toy as a kid, too?

Shimmer & Shine

 

Gos has released some beautiful new pumps at the current round of FaMESHed, the big news though, is that they have completely updated their colors and HUD system. No longer will you need to rely on drop down blue menus to access your Gos footwear, instead a series of color swatch HUDs will do the trick, and in more amazing colors than ever! You can now easily select from Gos Boutique Colors, Metallics (shown here) and even 'Blueberry' colors, a total of 56 shades, so you can match all your favorite outfits. I have paired up with this sleek blazer and crop top from Cynful, I love great layered sets like this. Just enough of that shimmer and shine to make for a great outfit.

Class & Sass

 

Putting on a little class and sass in Baiastice's latest for FaMESHed, the Tux Jacket and Leggings come in a bunch of colorful brights with bonus prints that are delicious! You can wear the jacket as sleeveless or sleeved, and the leggings are optional. I paired up with lots of golden accessories, chunky earrings and a slender metallic clutch (also from Baiastice), the shoes add to the sparkle with a golden tone of their own and a trio of rhinestones on the heel, Crocus from Glamistry. Feeling pretty and ready to take on the world!

Love & Coffee

 

On a Monday, love and coffee might be the only thing getting you through the day. A great outfit and boots you love might help you face a case of 'The Mondays' too, like this Blueberry magic, another fantastic in-store release, the Poppy Jacket and Leggings are perfection. Cute curvy and butt flattering, with two 'booty' options, boot fit,  and even a wedgie animation for lols. The Alaria boots, another new release, by CandyDoll, are a great flat and tall boot. I adore the bows up the back and the slightly folded over tops. Don't forget some fantastic new Exile hair, one of two styles just released in-store. Fall is in full swing and with a great outfit, some coffee and love, you can conquer Monday too!

Snack Me Outside

 

 

I am only a little bit obsessed with food items in Second Life, but admittedly I am a whole lot obsessed with the latest mainstore release from Bluberry, Mili. We are talking about all sorts of Autumn worthy sexiness, an off the shoulder cardigan with fitted dress (or top) underneath, and a great pair of boots with optional stockings. The Fat-Pack color HUDs of all Blueberry items give you so many choices, but even if you select a single color set, you will love the sleek fit and great texturing of these items! Just be careful not to get mustard all over yourself, then dig in and have a taste of Fall from Blueberry (while you are waiting to get in to The Epiphany)!
