Back to LOTD, apparently

So, as some of you know, things have been nuts for me in RL lately. Good nuts, just keeping me busy. So I haven't had much time to shop, let alone blog. But I have a couple of hours free to roam the grid right now, and haven't settled on the 52 Weeks of Color outfit I'm doing this week, so you get a look of the day!

A friend IMed me today asking if I knew where to get cute, cheap clothes. I didn't have anything quite as cheap as she was looking for, but I was reminded to go to one of my favorite inexpensive-but-adorable stores, Apple May Designs. And of course, while I was looking on her behalf, I had to shop on my behalf.

You can wear just about anything with this dress and look cute, so I pulled on some much-loved sandals that I've had in m inventory forever, threw on a skin of the same type, and a new hair from Exile that I am just loving, available at the Dressing Room now (or is it Dressing Room Blue? You'll find it.). The jewlery has been blogged before, except for the bangle, which is actually a cleverly disguised leash holder, made by a friend at the Dominion.

All in all, I'm happy with the look. It's light, fun, something a girl from ANTM might wear to a go-see, and you'd be amazed how often that dictates my clothing choice. I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for a study in Iron. ;)

I feel pretty, oh so pretty...

The holidays are finally over, though my family is still in town, and as usual I'm left with a feeling of "meh." So SL is all about doing what makes me feel good right now, and sometimes what makes me feel good is putting on a really unreasonable dress and parading around until I feel pretty. ~grins~

On days like this, Son!a always fits the bill. Sexy and seductive, but still couture, it's impossible to not feel ravishing walking around in one of her gowns.

 (I just realized I forgot to put on eyelashes. Oops!)

Turns out her jewelry is pretty great too, though I didn't know that until a few weeks ago. It's not the easiest in the world to fit - I do wish jewelry designers would tell us what the stats are on the shape they use to fit things, it would make SL just a bit prettier. But the detail work is excellent, and I love the design.

Blogger's being a bit weird in Firefox (I usually use Chrome, but Plurk doesn't work for me there, so I'm trying to switch back), so here's hoping it actually posts!
