How much mesh is too much?

Mesh, Mesh and more Mesh!

What started out as boredom and flicking through the marketplace just checking out what mesh stuff was out there, lead to me putting together an entire mesh outfit !  Well - minus the pants.

I love the look of this wooly dress.  You could wear with boots and leave the tights off if you really wanted to.  The hair - LOVE!  Even if it is a mens hair, I like the look of it on me!  And the boots!  Oh.  Em.  Gee.  I stumbled across these on the marketplace and found it very hard to stop myself from buying the entire colour collection.  I think I'm in love!

Bring on 2012

What a way to start the year!  Blog some fantastic newness!!!!!

Firstly - This outfit just screams "I Love my Linden Balance!" The skin only cost me $50L.  The hair I found after visiting an old favourite hair store I hadn't been to in a while.  I was helping out a friend and went TPing all across the globe, ended up at D!va and there is new group gifts.  HURRAH!  Best thing is it comes with an options to have no pony tail over the shoulder at the click of a button!  Last but not least - Fifty Linden Friday Boots!  

I can't decide if I want to pick up the ruffles of my dress and go skipping through the long grass, or sit in front of the mirror and ask in the beauty of this headpiece.  Why not both!  Even though I told her it wasn't going to work - seeing the end design on this dress floored me.  Job well done Sanura!

Sometimes less is more.  These have to be an all time favourite pair of pantyhose with built in panties for modesty.  But this jacket!  22769 you have outdone yourself on this one.  I didn't want anything else to overshadow the jacket so simply stockings it is!

Talk about adding a touch from everyone.  Each layer comes from someone completely different to the next but I love this look.  Very school teacher-ish, but with a touch of flair with the yummy mesh boots from Maitreya.

It's Frosty Out!

As much as I like all black outfits.  Sometimes you just need to break it up a little and add a splash of colour.  So that's exactly what I did with this all black number from -siss boom-.  I've become quite attached to all thing high-waisted lately so these pants are a treat.  The outfit has sculpted cuffs and a turtleneck but I chose to leave the turtle neck off and add some colour with this scarf from Zaara.

Zaara also has these adorable little slip on's and they match the scarves.  Couldn't ask for more.  Since I was all rugged up I went out hunting for some nice scenic wintery places and found Alirium.  GORGEOUS doesn't begin to describe it.  You really have to go look for yourself.

Once Upon A Time.....

This was one of the many wonders I found during my search for the Sleepy Hollow inspired dress (more to come on that - I finally have the dress!).

The first stop on my journey was Evie's Closet. An absolute wonderland of magical, fairytale inspiring gowns and accessories. If you haven't been there - you MUST add it to your To Do List.

I really don't want to detract from the stunning gown with matching Collar & Crown (sold seperately - but with all matching colours to the different variety of colours this dress comes in) so I'm hoping the photos do all the talking for me.

All I can think of when I wear this ensemble is Once Upon A Time - The Evil Queen. I feel a little Lana Parrilla at the moment. I don't know why, I just do. probably because it's one of my favourite shows at the moment. But obviously I have a little more ....... hmmm .... 'niceness' .... to me with the wings and delicate touches of flowers on the accessories. Evangeline Miles really does go all out with her designs and I'm so glad she does!

Newbie Style Challenge II

I participated in this last year and had a heap of fun so I had to take up the Newbie Style Challenge Part II again this year.

Now I could have made a brand new account and used some of the stores that have free gifts for accounts under 30 days old. I wanted to actually make sure I HAD to spend money to set up an account so I broke out some newb accounts that I made simply to secure my name when the 'First name only' Resident accounts were started. There were covered in dust and cobwebs from never being used though so it was a definitely a big challenge.

Now I decided to do both a male and a female avatar look since I do use a male alt from time to time when doing photography shots so I already had places in mind to start looking for my shopping. I had originally just planned on leaving these on flickr (hence he info written down the side of the picture) but then I got my blogging bug back again.
