Life Is Full Of Surprises

There is so much that can be said about color, why we love the ones we do, why some colors make us feel joyful when we wear them, and why some have the power to transform us. Green is one of those colors that speaks to us of life, and regeneration, and possibility. At FFL 2013, Kunglers has offered up this remarkable little cocktail dress, in the most gorgeous shade of green. As if that weren't enough to excite you, they have also given us this artfully crafted statement necklace, alive with flowers and blooms and richly colored accents. Such a wonderful surprise for the eyes, and worthy of such a great cause.

 

These incredible shoes are the very latest from the Gos Boutique Collection, the Angelina Peeptoe wraps around the foot in fine fashion, leather and criss crossing laces all atop a sweet platform base. They are elegant and edgy at the same time, and depending on the color you wear they can make a real impact, or simply accent what you are wearing. So fabulous!

 

Fashion For Life 2013 continues until the 17th, and is a great opportunity to support the cause of Relay For Life and get some great shopping in at the same time. Get on over to the International Plaza to join in the fun.

Hot In Chocolate

I am totally in love with my outfit today, and had to share the newness with you all. I started out with the latest from MichaMi, Kiia a sexy fitted dress, another original mesh creation from Milla Michinaga, in a yummy brown shade. It has great seaming detail on the sides and just the right amount of natural looking creasing on the arms and body of the dress. The Ella hair is one of the newest releases from LeLutka, Thora Charron has once again created a must have coif, it is sleek and has great height on top and shiny waves. You can see the effort that goes into making these hairs in the way that the textures and shine are customized for each individual style, something special.

 

Today marks the beginning of the With Love Hunt, in its 3rd year. This is not a free hunt, instead items are priced at a very affordable 10L each. This necklace and ring from Kunglers is a must have! The deep coppery color of the metal and the faceted stones, with marbling of greens and blues are such a great compliment to the rich color of the dress. The Pagaia Vintage Bangle from Fanatik is equally sculptural and interesting, the patina of this cuff bracelet makes it a stand out accessory.

 

Finally it is about hands and feet, and by that I mean my Slink Rigged Mesh hands, they really are one of the things in my inventory that I would not want to live without, and something new for my feet. The boots, well, the boots are just gorgeous, they are my first purchase from JD (Just Design), and the rich cocoa color of the used leather pair was something I was missing from my current tall boot collection. They have nice detailed accents, like the JD signature metal buckles and color change straps. You get rigged and non-rigged versions of these Alstar Boots, and even some rigged mesh leggings that work perfectly with the boots... a nice touch from this designer.

A Slinking Feeling

What a pleasure it is, slipping into a beautiful pair of shoes and finding they fit you perfectly. I defy Cinderella herself to claim the perfection that is Slink's Rigged Mesh Feet and the shoes created expressly for them. Slink has recently released the Indra Heels as an expansion to the shoes designed for the Medium height feet. Siddean Munro has created a fashion forward suede option with slender heels, open design and thin straps that magically hold it all together, all this with the modern addition of a rugged rubber fore-sole. The kind of shoe that any city girl could wear day to night.

 

For my day look I used a few of the items found at the latest rendition of The Dressing Room Blue, namely the chic little Gabry Jacket by Baiastice and the wicker Elephant Bag from TokiD. The daytime look is rounded out with the sleek new Milano Trousers, also from Baiastice, and the luxurious golden toned dipped feather necklace from League. It would be remiss of me not to mention in detail the great new hair releases from LeLutka today, both are seen in this post, the first style is Nook, with the headwrap in a multitude of shades and prints, I borrowed a page from Sasy Scarborough over at Sasypants Blog, and 'selected the face' of the wrap only to hand tint from the nude color to a slightly more golden tone to match my outfit. Be sure you make a copy of the style before attempting this trick. The Indra shoes come in many shades and colors, with colorable parts to allow for customization, though you only see a peek of them here it is obvious that the colors are perfectly suited for my look.

 

For an evening style, or perhaps one I'd save for a cocktail party or dinner date, I hopped into the TDRB release from Kunglers, the #65 Dress, that has the appeal of animal print and more neutral tones. The zebra print Indra Heels are the bonus style you get when purchasing the fatpack, and as you can see they work flawlessly with this dress, a pleasure to slip on over my Slink mesh feet. The hair is LeLutka Lana, such a great style, sexy length while allowing for the shoulders to remain unhindered, perfect for showing off accessories or delicate necklines of your favorite clothing. The addition of accessories by Maxi Gossamer, the Tarifa earrings and bracelets are among her latest releases at the current round of Collabor88, add more perfect detail.

 

The Slink Indra Heels come in so many gorgeous colors, here are just a sampling of the combinations you can achieve, the straps and the heels can all be colored individually, the body of the shoe will be in your color of purchase, or in the case of the fatpack, all colors, you can also choose to wear the three parts in one unified color, the choice will be yours. The colors range from earthy neutrals, to bright and lively, to classic shades.
