Indyra: The Classics

I love stores that ALWAYS deliver.  There's never a hit or miss.  Just 100% hit...on the money...fabulousness. 

Indyra & Co. has always been a store like that.

Outfit:  Indyra Originals: SoCal: Purple
Shoes:  Coquette Noir Shoes: Discipline Ankle Boots: Blacktop Black
Skin:  [ATOMIC] Skin - Grace:  Caramel
Hair:  fri.day - Deena

While I own too many Indyra outfits to count..I decided to only blog one.  The outfits..plus the well designed boots..well.......

You get the picture without an overly picture heavy blog. 

Colors, style, design..it's all high quality.  I can't rave enough about this store - and I'm sure I've done it before, too!

Go forth and shop.  You will NEVER regret. 

FYI:  The customer service?  BEYOND amazing.  She's so friendly and prompt - it's refreshing.

GleeK Out!

It's not every day that you wander into a furniture store and come across the most awesome t-shirt ever.  A GLEE t-shirt!  I admit it..I am a Gleek.  I love the show..the music..and the cast!

And when I found a Glee inspired t-shirt, I was over the moon.

So, if you're a Gleek like me....head over to Awesome Blossom (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hide%20and%20Seek/63/151/26) and get your very own Glee shirt.  :)

Of course..I had to sing.  A lot.  You know....I was wearing the Glee shirt and all.

:)

Happy shopping!



XOXO,
Bliss

P.S. - For some RL Glee pics I took in NYC..check out my other blog too.. http://blissfulgypsywoman.blogspot.com/2011/04/im-super-gleek.html

My Best Kept Secret Store..

Sometimes you see an outfit in an SL store..and you feel like you need to own it in RL too. 

That happened to me when I fell into The Secret Store.  Yes, that's the name.  And yes, of course, I love the name.

Sweater:  The Secret Store - Bow-Lero - Sky Blue
Shirt:  The Secret Store - Romance - Plum/Sky
Skin:  [ATOMIC] Skin Audri_Caramel - Abyss
Hair:  fri.day - Jasmine.2 - Emo Black

I paired my sweater and shirt with a pair of Diram black leather pants from my inventory and my Diram Toxic Bottes boots.  I would have loved this shirt as a DRESS - how amazing would that look?  (Just saying...).

 
Sweater:  The Secret Store - Bow-Lero - Charcoal
Shirt:  The Secret Store - Romance - Beeswax

Of course, I bought this in other colors too (hides her face).  It's a sickness I have.  LOL

But the gold and black go just as amazing as the sky and plum did.

Dress:  The Secret Store - Valentine - Pink
Hair:  Truth:  Roxana
Shoes:  Stiletto Moody:  Pinup - Blacker Patent
Skin:  LAQ:  Phoebe

And aside from traiditional chic outfits, you've gotta love a store that sells out of the norm outfits as well.  I grabbed this cape and bodysuit with matching boots in my shopping spree and snapped a few quick pics too.

Cape:  The Secret Store - Wild Pop Lady - Cape
Bodysuit:  The Secret Store - Wild Pop Lady - Bodysuit
Boots:  The Secret Store - Vinyl vintage boots -Crimson

So, I've found one of SL's cutest and best kept secrets - The Secret Store.

Dana Rebecca Designs..

While I almost always blog SL fashion, I do want to share this fab RL jewelry designer - Dana Rebecca.  I'm in love, love, love with the designs.  That's about the ONLY way I can express my feelings.  LOL

I'm a huge fan of signature pieces.  Up until now, my signature necklace has been a small diamond heart necklace from Arezzo Jewelry (http://www.arezzo.com/).  I believe they've since closed up shop - but unless I'm looking to buy something else, I won't be able to confirm or deny. 

   
But!  I recently stumbled accross the Dana Rebecca site (http://www.danarebeccadesigns.com/), and being a huge fan of dainty necklaces..this was perfect for me.

I love the Lauren Joy collection - and so I bought myself a necklace in my birthstone (sapphire).

The above picture is off of the Dana Rebecca website where you can buy the necklace (http://www.danarebeccadesigns.com/Lauren-Joy-p225.html).  It's available in other stones (i.e. - emerald, ruby, etc.)

Grab yourself some matching earrings..maybe a bracelet..heck..even cufflinks for your guy!  They make and sell it all.  Service is fast and great.

As always, I only blog about what I actually buy.  :)  I love it, and it's now my new signature piece. 

Happy shopping!

XOXO,

At the World's End..You Never Know What You'll Find..

One of my favorite hiding spots on SL is the World's End Garden.  It's ever changing..and so beautifully built that you can't help but get lost in your surroundings.

So I threw on my new outfit..and strolled over to World's End to see what was going on.  I sat in a chair..tested all of the poses..walked around..and then I saw her.

My radar alerted me that Florian Antiesse was close by.  I watched her avi rezz..and then walk over to a group of model stands..and pose. 

Just like that.

I do that when I'm taking pics for blogs..and while my fashion blogs are usually ALWAYS pictures of me, I had to share this.  The outfit was so different and completely stunning, that I had to IM her to ask her if I could take her picture.  She said yes, and then asked that I reference the outfit's creator as well. 

Works for me!

It's just so surreal..seeing this outfit paired with this skin in the middle of this garden, which is now named World's End Garden~Noir et blanc (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Heaven%20Lake/171/138/1809).

The outfit is from SoliDea FoliEs (http://slurl.com/secondlife/SaliMar/202/74/65).

Dress:  *SoliDea FoliEs* Butterfly Circle

Head Piece & Accessories:  *SoliDea FoliEs* Cattiva set
Creator:  Mila Tatham
Skin:  Redgrave

And while this isn't my usual taste, there is something very unique and alluring about the designs.  I recommend you check it out for yourself and let me know your thoughts.

Happy shopping!

Osakki: Pacific Crisis - Hope for Japan

When tragedy strikes, many folks in SL step up and try to raise funds to help those affected.  Many designers and creators got together to participate in the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser (http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/205/147/1003), and started an effort to help aid victims of the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear crisis that recently devastated the people of Japan. 

One of the many amazing outfits I've come across is the Maki Dress by Osakki.  Shopping is fun, but shopping to help raise money for an amazing relief effort is sensational.
 

Dress:  Osakki // Pacific Crisis Fundraiser - Maki Dress for Japan
Shoes:  Stiletto Moody Pinup (Badseed Red Patent) v3.01
Hair:  fri.day - Jasmine.2
Skin:  Redgrave:  Tan Skin -Chloe

Stop by the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser sim, or you can grab this dress at the Osakki mainstore.

Wooot for Kyoot!

Kyoot's 50 L sale offers this Ground Beneath Your Feet spring dress. Normally I do not like sculpty skirts, but this one works. Maybe if we wear spring clothes, winter will take the hint and take a hike - a very long one. Jewelry from Addiction.

Meet Me In My Boudoir....

I have NO idea where I got this landmark from.  But.  I'm really glad I was inventory sorting and found it. 

Boudoir is the newest addition to my long list of shopping addictions.

I love, love, LOVE..themed outfits.  From Britney Spears to Beyonce..I own a ton of pop culture inspired outfits.  Well, when I popped into the store and found this..I HAD to buy it.

The movie Black Swan is CREEPY.  But it's a beautiful and alluring kind of creepy. 

Skin:  [FC] Nina//BlackSwanRED/FhangCandy (Sold at Boudoir)
Outfit:  Boudoir:  Black Swan Ballerina dress

My ONLY complaint about this outfit, is that the tiara in the promo isn't included.  Of course, as an inventory queen, I had a few in my inventory to spare.

But I love the overall outfit..the skin was pretty..and it just felt like a great replica of the movie costume.

But they don't just sell the Black Swan outfit.  They also sell these amazingly detailed dresses.

Dress:  Boudoir:  Black plisse couture
Skin:  LAQ:  Martina
Hair:  Boudoir:  Irena Hair:  Black

So, if you need a unique dress..this is absolutely the store for you.

T Junction Rocks.

Okay, I've been mourning since the closing of Crash Couture sometime in 2010, but I've finally found a suitable snarky tee vendor to take their place in my SLeart. Enter T Junction. It's pretty great, and you can even make out most of the designs, but for the boobage. Check it out, immediately!
