250,000 miles on a clear night in June and I'm so lost without you ...

I was a slacker yesterday and took a day off from blogging. I guess I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and just lacking inspiration. How does one have so many amazing things to blog and not be inspired? It happens, but I still don't understand why.... However, since I am rather high strung and slightly neurotic (Hey! I'm from NY!), I managed to emerge from a very drowsy state and snap some pics in the middle of the night. I wasn't completely completely happy with the pics, but they were acceptable for posting... At least I think so...
Anyway, I do like to mix bits and pieces of one outfit with another. So, I decided to use this gorgeous print top, from the 'Overall Tropical' outfit, created by designer Luana Barzane of [Amarelo Manga]; pair it with these amazing new 'skinny pants' from Cattiva Vita of [CheerNo Femme];and use the fabulous belt that came with 'Overalls' too. And, to top off the whole look, I wore this lovely boho style 'Hara' jewelry set from Yula Finesmith of Finesmith Designs. FYI: The 'Hara Set' is only $10L for Finesmith group members. So you definitely do NOT want to pass that up! Now, with that all said, here are your limos:

My Best Kept Secret...

I don't think I need to tell you just how amazing Maylee Oh's creations are, but I will... They are effing AMAZING!!! We all know her beautifully textured designs are are "to-die-for". Her feminine lines and gorgeous textures are always to perfection. So, since Maylee is offering up a fabulous deal for Lazy Sunday, I figured I would feature those two pieces, which are pink polka-dot 'ribbon tank' and orange 'beach shorts'. Each item is a mere $70L! So, you better hurry-up and grab it before Sunday ends. Btw, I know this post is cutting it close, so I hope it gets to you before it is gone. I am also showing another outfit, which are a couple of beautiful separates from Maylee's 'mini-Summer collection'. Now, since I know you will be dying to check all of this out for yourself, here is your limo to The Secret Store: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cheesecake/155/192/39

Such The Perfectionist....

Ahhh!!! Okay, you would think that with my laptop working and things completely up to par, that so would my posts. But, this post took apprx 24 hrs to complete! It wasn't because I ran into any problems, well...except for myself. *Laughs* I wanted my "come back" posts to be PERFECT! So, I fussed and fussed... and then fussed some more. The more I fuss the worse it gets. I guess I am also paying too much attention to my 'flickr' feedback, which has decreased some. I automatically think that this means my work is going downhill. Well, maybe that is why I have less feedback, or it could just mean nothing. I remember getting excited over the fact that I had 10 views. I was like, "OMG! Ten people actually looked at my picture!". Now, if I don't get close to 10 favs or more, I feel like something is majorly wrong. I don't know if this is just me, who gets like this over flickr feedback, or if many of you feel the same.
Anyway, I have A LOT of great stuff to show you! I have Sebastien Aries's exclusive styles for 'Hair Fair 2011'. Can I just tell you that Sebastien really hit the ball out of the park with these 2 styles?! He created a sex-kittish style, called 'Ingenue', which is adorned with perfect tiara. I mean, what girl does not love a tiara? And, just in case you don't, there is an option to go sans tiara. Sebastien then created a short and very sassy "do", called 'Bombshell', that is to die for! Plus, you have got to love how he names his hair. It makes his beautifully textured styles even more impossible to resist. You absolutely must check-out these demos ASAP at  Shag via Hair Fair 2011:  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Iridium/65/96/21

I also have some lovely pieces from Neferia Abel  of L'abel. I thought her designs would suit [Shag's] very feminine flare. Neferia's texturing is gorgeous. The eyelet laces and floral prints mixed with adeptly scultped prims, make these the perfect design for Summer. And, not to mention, a wardrobe MUST! You have to see more of Neferia's wonderful collection at L'abel: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ivalde/186/55/26
