I LOVE *COCO*

*COCO* was my first favorite shop in SL and also my first taste of real fashion in SL. As a "noob", who was fashion obsessed in RL, I was overjoyed to find that SL actually had a lot of talented and incredible designers on the grid. cocoro Lemon was one the first of such designers, whose creations are on  par or even greater than the RL designers who we see on runways at fashion week. I was hooked! I am  also always closely watching to see what she comes up with next!
Recently, I was lucky enough to receive a few of *COCO*'s latest releases and was more than honored to review them. Thank you cocoro! In the first picture, I am wearing the "OneShoulderPolkaDotsDress". The name basically says it all! I just LOVE this little black dress, whose silk-like texture is so carefully wrinkled. The expertly crafted polka dot chiffon prim just brings this ultra chic number to a whole other level I just adore the subtle baring of the neckline.This dress just screams GLAM!
In the second picture, I am wearing cocoro's "BubbleSkirt" in gold.The intricate pleating mixed with hand painted shadows and highlights make this an extraordinary piece thats has a very exotic feel.This particular skirt is the perfect compliment to an formal or casual wardrobe.
In the third and last picture, I am wearing *COCO*'s "TankTop-with Sunglasses". Once again cocoro uses this amazing black silk texture (as seen in pic 1) with skillfully sculpted wrinkles that she places with an adept precision. The plunging asymmetric neckline is to die for! And when you turn around, the back has a fabulously low scoop cut, which accentuates my curves to a "T"! Absolutely YUMMY!
Now I think I have rambled enough, so it's time for you to go see this for yourself. The limo is waiting:

Lost Again and Looking Glam

As my Memorial Day weekend reached a fevered pitched, I found myself lost in a dark and bewitching sim, while searching for some new skins. I may have been lost, but at least I looked fabulous. You know, in I case I may need to be rescued or something. I am wearing my recently purchased dress from "Glam Affair" that was designed exclusively for "The Dressing Room". I love the simple a-line shape and empire waist that is accentuated by an eye-popping yellow paten leather belt. The bust of the dress is adorned with silver studs, which certainly give this dress some extra special appeal. This is definitely a nice addition to my continuously evolving little dark dress collection.

I was lucky that I remembered to bring my new gift tote from "COCO". It came equipped with my with my two basic essentials in case I get lost...Bottled water and an issue of Vogue. This could of held me for a couple of hours. This clear tote bag comes w/ a choice of two colors for the trim - the other is pink. It also comes with two different carrying positions-the shoulder or by hand. No matter what option you choose, it will certainly look adorable and will definitely compliment any casual outfit. Not bad for free group gift! Especially if you have a handbag addiction like I do. When you make you way down to "COCO", and I insist that you go immediately, be sure and take a look at cocoro Lemon's other amazing accessories and clothes. Ms. Lemon's rich textures and fine detailing are applied to all her creations, which make any of her pieces hard to pass up.

Well, just in case you were wondering, I did end up finding my skin store and lived happily ever after....Sort of....
