Casual me

Casual me

First off, let me apologize for being lacks in my posting. I needed to take some time away from things in general to gain some mental clarity. I never want this little blog to become a chore filled with uninspired posts. Sometimes, time away is a healthy thing.

Once again, I’m in casual mode and sticking close to home. The gorgeous, flowing blouse by Kurotsubaki sets the tone in brown for this outfit. It has an asymmetrical hemline with hints of green and purple in the pattern. (It’s also available in red. ) Paired up with a freebie Truth tank from last year, but really, any tank would do nicely here. I have styled it with Miel Mo Pocket Pants in driftwood, but imagine this floaty blouse with a pair of faded jeans and simple tank. Smexy.  I’ve kept the jewelry on the handmade, artsy side with Bliensen + MaiTai new  Hilde’s Embroidery Necklace and Zaara’s Nizam Choodiya bangles.

Peace to you all. <3

Radiant Bliss TreeHouse

Radiant Bliss TreeHouse

I was fortunate to become friends with  real life recording artist  and DJ Tasty Hax. She told me about her music project called Radiant Bliss. This community project is home to 3 electronic music venues where interesting and creative people can mingle, chat and chill.

Tasty added on to this venue by adding a small grouping of shops called the BaZaR. The purpose of RB BaZaR is to give new designers and artists a start in a beautiful friendly community environment that nurtures and supports ingenuity.  The TreeHouse music venue in the BaZaR is a nice compliment to the spirit of creative expression and music exploration.  Some of SL’s most unique and talented DJs play each week and it’s always good fun.

Last night I explored the Radiant Bliss Treehouse. It’s a drop-dead gorgeous build. A beautiful place to take photographs and just hang out. Some of the highlights for me…

A shop that sells unique umbrellas called “Weather or Not.”

Two animation and furniture shops called Dyer Maker and Eschia Nar’te.

The fashion shop that caught my eye is Sugary Designs. Sugary Designs has sexy, fun club clothes if you dare. I’m wearing an incredibly daring dress from Sugary. The dress is crazy revealing in the back. Halo, butt cleavage! The highlight of it is the prim chain that cascades down my back and ends in a flirty star. (comes in silver and gold chain) The dress is reasonably priced and available in a half-dozen colors and patterns. I’ve paired it with a pair of unique knee socks that cover just my knees, also available from Sugary.

On 9/15, Radiant Bliss is having an Open House Party featuring three hot DJs  to celebrate the grand opening of the BaZaR  portion of their sim. Check it out. Here’s your ride. Details below…

Ozimals – We Don’t Die. We Multiply

Ozimals – We Don’t Die. We Multiply

Coming to a sim near you is a whole different batch of interactive animals in the shape of a cute bunny from the Magic of Oz. (No worries, I’m assured these won’t eat your face. What?) Like the popular Sion Chickens the bunnies are breed-able. There are six different breeds, so imagine the genetic possibilities! However, they’re not evil like Sion Chickens as they won’t die. Through the Magic of Oz, they recognize that these animals are both an emotional and financial investment. The can’t be destroyed accidents or malicious intent. Bunnies cannot be killed by accidental return to inventory (be it picking up, going off world, or being returned) or by griefing. The only ways for a bunny to die are either owner neglect or old age.

If you have more questions, you can visit the Ozimal FAQ here.

In the meantime, while waiting for their imminent release, go visit the vendor and get in their group (subscribe-o-matic). Magic of Oz is looking for beta testers. You can also get a preview of the cuties as well. Here’s a ride to their vendor.

Salsa Trixie Frock

Salsa Trixie Frock

I adore the sweetness of this new dress release from Salsa. Although I’m covering up the best part of the dress with my cardi from Pig and that’s the bric-brac straps that continue on into the neckline. This look is so sweet, I’m giving guy’s tooth aches grid wide. Too bad my soul is black.

The dresses are available in 3 primary colors and are reasonably priced at $75. Style note: I did move the dress prim down a touch in order to not interfere with the cardi. The key is to wear the glitch pants on the pants layer and the jeans on the underwear layer so my pixelated behind doesn’t poke through Did ya get that?

The capris are the indecent butt-crack ones from Luck Inc. But they’re made decent again by covering up the valley of lost change.

Wearing:
Dress: Salsa! Trixi Frock Ketchup
Capris: *Linc* Low Rise Capri Jeans Blue RocknRoll
Cardi: Pig – Ladies Like Flowers Pink
Necklace: !BF! Bakelite – Cherry Sorbet
Hair: (Dernier Cri) Audrey
Shoes: *Kookie* Powder Puff – Cloud

Lost Dreams – Joan

Lost Dreams – Joan

A new release of fun, graphic mini skirts/tops from Estelle Parnall of Lost Dreams. The mini skirt is cute in its simpleness and hand-painted belt. Offered in 5 different patterns, which include zebra, leopard, houndstooth, and two different tartans (red and blue). It also comes with a matching black neck top. I’m wearing the blue tartan skirt pictured below. I’ve paired it with League’s Garage shirt on top of the back top for a great tough girl look.

My boots are from the almost impossible-to-find Zero Number. I first saw them on a girl and had to have them. She didn’t speak English; just my luck. I ended up having to travel grid-wide to track those mothas down. But it was worth it. I despise doing grid Hunts because I suck at them, but I just love trying to connect the dots on a find. Sometimes when I *finally* find it, I feel like how Columbus must have felt discovering the America. Well, okay, maybe not that epic.

I think I’ve been wearing these boots for a week with all sorts of different looks. They also come in a very distressed brown as well. Like the skirt, they’re fab. (Style note on boots: Zero Number offers a few other wonderful boots, but keep in mind, they’re not script sizeable like the ones pictured below. They might be too chunky for some. )

Wearing:
Skirt/Undershirt: Lost Dreams Joan blue tartan skirt and black top
Blouse: *League* Garage Shirt (Skull) D. Blue
Socks: .: Naive :. Vixie Socks Cold Pack – Green
Boots: [0N] Wo Boots (w/resize scripts)

Little Birdies from Salsa

Little Birdies

I love little whimsical touches like the birds embroidered on the simple inexpensive cardis from Salsa. A new release from them, each color comes with a sweet little simple bird embroidered on the breast. Birdies include a sparrow, pigeon, seagull, owl, and my favorite crow. This look has a vintage 40s feel to it.

Edit: Ooops. Seems like I had a wardrobe malfunction. Elsa Weatherwax gave me a heads-up that the swallow cardi pictured below really only has one birdy, not two. So sorry! Guess I have an original now.

Cardi: Salsa! – Bird Watch Cardi – Sparrow
Skirt: !BF! Crinkle Stripe Sailor Kit
Shoes: *Kookie* Powder Puff – Bourdeaux
Hair: [Curio] Gertrude
Necklace: Eclectica – Jazz Bakelite Set
