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!

Peaches & Dreams

 

Still making the rounds at the Holiday Party circuit, this time I am stepping out in the sugary sweetness of The Secret Store's latest, just visit Collabor88 to get your hands on the Uma Skater Dress and Mia Bolero, I love the bow closure details on the jacket and the subtle lace texture on the dress. Exile has New releases out at Collabor88 too, among them Persuasive, half up and half down, and altogether festive! A perfect match for the dress, and sweet hairstyle is the frilly socks and Mary Jane's look from Nardcotix, the Lindy shoes have a perfect patent look, and delicately crinkled socks, you can find these at Uber. That is two party looks down, more to come... stay tuned!

Queen Of Tartan

 

A little dress love for Pixicat today, while I am out and about doing a little 'Black Friday' shopping, this curve hugging and flirty skirted plaid dress is making me all sorts of happy. The deep front 'V' and the cinched tied up waist of the Dark Dress add allure to this long sleeved frock, available at Collabor88 in more color and print options. Tall laced up boots are a perfect compliment to the dress, CandyDoll comes through with the Raina boots, suede and tied all the way to the thigh with a chunky platform base. Time to shop the sales!

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?

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!

Doo-Wop & Denim

A trip to the Doo-Wop Diner wouldn't be complete without a perfectly cute outfit to wear. Blueberry answers the call, as usual, with cute and sexy separates that you will absolutely love. The Kimi Jacket and Skirt come in a variety of suede, leather and denim options with layered under-pieces like a knotted tank top and matching panties. Beautiful laced up stitching on the back of the jacket and a delicately upturned hem on the skirt are great details. So many ways to mix and match with perfect Fall accessories like a scarf, tall boots or a beret. I'm ready for my burger and a shake!

Good Witch

 

Getting the most out of the latest round of Collabor88, finding a few more faves to share. Flowey totally nailed it with this long sleek collared Fiona dress, I chose the dark teal color, perfect for fall with a bit of a grown up 'Wednesday Addams' twist. Exile released a super relaxed double ponytail style, More Than Ordinary, I added a pair of bows to up the cute factor on my 'Good Witch' look. I threw on a great off the shoulder cardigan from Gabriel, I am all about layering pieces and adding interest these days. Hope you like it as much as the crows did!

Sight Seeing

Strolling around on my blogging platform again, taking in the sights that I have rezzed all by myself! Oooh, look at the leaves, falling and stuff, and the faux cobblestones on the sidewalk... enchanting! But you know what is kinda special? Fall fashion. It is my absolutely favorite time of year, and I am wearing some new flare jeans from Cynful, I love the belted style and all the color options! My cute cropped top is from Just Because, and this latest hat & hair combination from Exile, Full Circle, is a perfectly wind swept style with BENTO movement... a sight to behold!

Mint Twist

 

An outfit that looks just as good walking away, as it does coming at you. Feisty Fall style that is minty fresh, the new Yira Dress from CandyDoll at Collabor88 is a real treat, a sexy deep-V in front and a daring twist in the back. I paired it with some thigh high boots from CandyDoll, a color matched backpack from Zenith and chocolatey mint dipped locks from Exile, Tether, a new style available at eBento.

First Of Fall

 

The excitement is palpable, Fall Fashions are starting to flood my second life, and unlike the unfortunate flooding caused by the storms plaguing the Southern States and the islands of the Caribbean, fashion is relatively harmless to all but your wallet. I am sharing my first true Fall inspired look of the year, featuring new hair from Exile, complete with brimmed hat, braids and windblown tendrils. A sweater from The Secret Store is always detailed to perfection, lace trim and beaded designs are adorable, a great length to wear with a pleated skirt. The booties are by Glamistry, the kind of ankle boots that will take you through loads of Fall looks, great with pants or skirts. Stay safe, shop safe, and get ready for a change in the weather.
