Man it's a HOT one! Like seven inches from the midday sun!

It still very hot here in NYC. All of the buildings, cars and people that surround me, just seem to make everything feel much more heated. So, if I can not be at the beach, a nicely air conditioned room will suffice. Speaking of hot.... Applonia Criss, of CHANTKARE, just recently released the most gorgeous mesh 'IKAT MAXI DRESS'! This piece is just perfect for Summer and is definitely a wardrobe MUST HAVE! There are many maxi dresses being sold by different designers right now, but I really love the pattern and colors that 'IKAT' comes in. Applonia always manages to use the most amazing prints and textures her mesh so beautifully. This is just one of the reasons why I love   CHANTKARE so much.
Since I am already talking about things "I LOVE", let me tell you about the latest skin from
Tricky Boucher of -Belleza-. I am sure you have already seen (or probably even wore) his latest skin, called 'Lily V1'. However, let me just say, "Lily is absolutely STUNNING!". I always love Tricky's skins, but 'Lily' is especially fabulous and definitely one of his best to date. It is refreshing to see a skin that is a bit more mature. When I say "mature", I do not mean "old looking". I just like that fact that I do not like a teenager when wearing it. Tricky manages to make his skins look very glamorous, while still maintaining a very natural and fresh face. For the 'Skin Addiction's Skin Showcase', Tricky released a special edition of 'Lily V1'. It comes in 10 beautiful limited edition make-ups and in 4 lovely skin tones. It also comes hairbase and cleavage options too. Like all of Tricky's skins, you can buy single make-ups or a fatpack of 'Lily V1 Special Edition'. I would go for the whole fatpack, since it will only be sold for this event. I will also being doing a full review of 'Lily V1 Special Edition', so please stay tuned! In the meantime, go check-out this awesome event and try on some demos! Here are your limos:

La Isla

As the weather gets warmer the urge to bare more skin becomes stronger. I was in very boho-ish/exotic mood, so I decided to wear the 'La Isla' skirt and top from Indyra Originals. Indyra Seigo is known for uber chic ensembles and usually provides her customers with all the accessories for styling an outfit in her store. This is particularly great if you are in a hurry or just do not want to run all over SL looking for the pieces that match.
Anyway, I took the gorgeous batik skirt and paired it with the new *JeSyLiLO* skin, called "Bar", which is absolutely stunning. DjAngel Fallen of Miss C Hair has been creating some really amazing new hair styles lately. So, I chose this new super long and wavy style, called "Star". I am soooo in love with this new style, it is a definite MUST have. I topped of the look with some choice jewels from..:: BenS Beauty ::.. and  LaGyo. I hope you like... Here are your limos:

Summer of Love

MONS  just released a fabulous new line of mesh of clothes for Summer - appropriately called, 'Summer Love' - and I am definitely impressed. There are a ton of cute tops, sleek strapless dress, uber short minis and gorgeous print 'neck tie' dresses. Since it was the weekend (I feel asleep while editing), I figured I would do a casual 'LOTD'. I chose one of the strapless 'Jean Tops' and paired it with new denim short release from from Izzie Button. Speaking of Izzie, she has also been on fire lately, releasing tons of beautifully made fashion staples. You simply must check out them all out. Alexandra Barcelos of Flithy Skins, created yet another amazing new skin, called 'Jenny', so I couldn't resist wearing it for this look. And, to top of my whole look, I am wearing another new release from Truth Hawks, called 'Anastasia'. Truth is another designer working hard lately, and had 2 big releases this week! So, enough of my blabbering and please check-out the pics. Here are your limos:

Cool CHIC

Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE has been on fire lately, so I have been working hard to catch-up with all her fabulous new releases. I really had no idea where I should start, so I figured I would go with an uber chic non-mesh dress, appropriately called 'CUL CHIC'. I just adored the bold colors and geometrical pattern of this piece It is absolutely fabulous, but I would not expect any less from Ms. Applonia. This is one creation you must check out!
Btw, I know you will have to notice the amazing boots I am wearing. They are the latest release from one of my new favorite brands (well not that new),  Leverocci. Every girl needs a gorgeous pair of 'Over The Knee' boots in her wardrobe. The 'Ava OTK Boots' from from Leverocci are a MUST! They come in a ton of gorgeous colors and in two fab textures (patent and python). They are rigged mesh and come in 6 different sizes, so they are made to fit just about anyone. Even me. I have ridiculously short avi (I actually believe everyone Else's avi is ridiculously big), and some 'OTK' boots just over power me and look silly. So, I was super psyched to find that these 'Ava OTK boots' fit to a 'T'. However, please still try a demo before buying.

Spring Trbal

Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE has finally gone full mesh ahead. So, I guess it is safe to say, mesh is here to stay. I am slowly warming up to whole mesh thing, but I do hope that not everything turns to mesh. In my opinion, there are just certain textures that do not work well with mesh. Anyway, Applonia knows how to texture her mesh and came out with the perfect 'SPRING TRIBAL DRESS', which comes in 2 amazing patterns. I LOVE Applonia's eye for color and her use of patterns. This is one creation you must check out, but PLEASE try a DEMO first!
I am also wearing the latest new skin, called 'Tina', from Alexandra Barcelos of 'Filthy Skins'. 'Tina' is gorgeous and comes 5 fabulous skin tones, many of which are great for darker toned avis, and 8 beautifu make-ups. Once again. please make sure that you try a demo. So, here are your limos:

Back wearing Black

It seems like forever since I have done an actual post. I have spent the last few day setting up my new laptop!!!! Yay! So far so good. I can run and jump, while wearing mesh and having shadows enabled, like I were on a low setting on my previous laptop. My only disappointment is with the graphics of the mesh viewers. I had been so in love with Kirsterns Viewer that it was really difficult to find a viewer that could compare. So, I had a lot of playing around to do with settings and such on about 5 different viewers. Only to find that, unless I am photographing mesh, I am going to try and use Kirtsens as long as I possibly can. I know Rome was not built in a day, even in SL( I know... lame joke), and the mesh viewers will be amazing in a few months. SL moves fast like that. Anyway, I figured I would test my new system's skills at the stunning New York City SIM. The new  CHADO COAT DRESS, from the uber fabulous Applonia Criss, was the perfect piece to go with this seriously chic place. Applonia's designs just keep getting more amazing with each new release!

The Deep Freeze

Well, it really should be freezing here in NY, but it is rather mild in comparison to Winters past. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining, but something is definitely amiss. So, for my first post of the New Year... Oh! Happy New Years everyone!!! I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2012! I should have an 'official' New Years post up later today  ^^ Anyway, I figured I would feature some cozy looks from a couple of my favorite designers. I have a 'HERRINGBONE MAXI SKIRT' & 'ANNIE SWEATER', from Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE. This outfit is gorgeous!!! You have an oversized and super comfy wool sweater that is mixed with an beautifully tailored maxi skirt. Winter wear at it's most fabulous.
I also have an amazing and recently released 'Sangos Winter Cardigan', which was created by the uber talented Maya Levane of Tokidoki. This fleece lined wool cadi is the perfect winter staple and you can wear it with or without sleeves too. It comes in 6 beautiful colors as well. Maya also released the cutest new handbag that is also known as the 'Damsel Basket'. I just adore this wicker textured bag that comes in 3 different colors.

Back To SL Reality...

Ugghhhh! I was spoiled by 5 gorgeous days in the Bahamas, but now I am back in NY and it is FREEZING!!!  I am still a bit overwhelmed by all the amazing new stuff that came out while I was away. It is really insane how fast SL changes! So, now that I am back up and blogging, I figured I would start off by blogging all of the creations that I was hoping to get to before I left. Well, at least for my next few posts. Anyway, I'll stop my rambling, so you can see this FABULOUS 'SARAHI DRESS', which was created by the super talented Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE. It is currently available at the 'Je Suis Chrismas Market' . This is one event that you should MUST check-out! There are so many lovely creations from SL's best and brightest.  I hope you like....
Oh, btw, I am wearing the new 'Linn' skin, that was created by the seriously incredible Aida Ewing of Glam Affair. 'Linn' is absolutely STUNNING! But, then again, so are all of Aida's skins. I highly suggest trying on a demo NOW! Please stay tuned for full review on 'Linn' ...

I am in a bit of bad mood today. Nothing seems to be going right and I just feel like my pics are looking awful. Granted, I have a laptop that is dying, but it just makes feel like my work is even more terrible. At least I have Applonia Criss's amazing DALI DRESS gown to cheer me up! This gown is absolutely STUNNING in every possible way! Even the price is to-die-for, since it is a 'Fashion Garret' exclusive. I think it as only 70L. If it isn't, it definitely isn't over 100L. So, you MUST grab this ASAP. Every girl needs a gorgeous princess gown in their wardrobe. So, what are waiting for? Here are your limos:

PHYLOX NIGHTS

Wow! It seems like forever since my last post! Unfortunately, I have been sick and then consumed with prepping for the now open, 'The Vintage Fair'. You absolutely must check this fair out! Keira Seerose really outdid herself with this event. And the designers, OMG, retro heaven! Everything from from 1890s- 1980! Anyway, there are some other amazing things going as well. I figured this fabulous dress, which was designed by the even more fab Applonia Criss, was the perfect start off for the weekend. Not only is this piece incredibly made, but you can get it for next to nothing at 'The Fashion Garret'. But, you better hurry, since this will only be available until November 15th. You will also see some creations from 'The Vintage Fair' in the post, like a headband from LaGyo and a fabulous skin from Lara Hurley. So, let me stop my rambling and get on with the info and limos:
