The Icing on the Cake....

When I first started in SL oh-so-many years ago.....I fell in love with a store.  I mean..complete love.  I was buying everything as soon as it was released..and I was like a walking AD for Icing.

Sadly, as my shopping addiction grew, my old favorite stores were replaced with new favorites.  But this morning I logged into SL and found a "New Release" notice from Icing.  And of course, while I inhale this bagel..there's no reason I can't check out the new releases.  I've popped into Icing a few times in the last year - mostly to grab a simple formal dress that I almost always need for one event or another. 

It is as it always was....a perfectly quiet store with great outfits and cheap prices.  No 5,000L dresses that you'll spend two weeks trying to fit your avi into.  Great colors, shapes and styles.  I'll always be an ad for Icing - because it's a designer I truly stand behind.  :)  Noob or not.   

Dress:  ICING- Coquette - Red
Hair:  [LeLutka]-HANNAH 2.0 hair - CoalMine
Skin:  LAQ ~ Elena [Nougat] Glow skin (10-pack)
Shoes:  Stiletto Moody Bare Lana (Anniversary) v1.14 (med)
Bracelet:  Fresh Baked Goods:  Jujubes Gem Antique Silver Bangle Set
Poses:  ALL Olive Juice (go to the store..you will LOVE)

FYI:  the outfit comes with the skirt in red AND black.  :)  Sassy, huh?  I love it!

I really hope you check this store out.  It's a great store on an awesome (and OLD!) shopping sim.  There are even old fashioned freebies.  Do you remember those?  :)  Me either.  LOL

Happy shopping!

Silent No Longer

When Blissie first opened this blog she asked me to be a contributor. I agreed not knowing exactly what to expect. Then I started noting those wonderful fashion-minded folks whose company I have the pleasure and high honor of being in for this blog. I have watched and read enthusiastically what each of you have had to say and look at the loveliness you have displayed. I however, have felt unworthy of adding to the excellence here. I have been continuously seeking out something that I could post here.

Last week, I finally had something thrust at me so to speak. West Of Ireland was having an auction to benefit Project Children. I saw a couple dresses and a set of pearls that i wanted to bid on, and did. All the items were by Icings. Oh yeah!! On Sunday I arrived for the end of the auction and was bidding against a gentleman for this one retro black and white dress. I let him have it as my eye was on another, rarer gem.

This delightful cocktail dress was labeled as a one of a kind down to the very color which was designed especially for this auction number. I had been out bid, but then upped my bid by another 1000L. The most I had paid for a SL dress before was 1800L. (/me faints) My bid of 4000L won this cocktail dress for me. But I was far from finished.

There was one last item on the auction that was not a dress. it was this set of pearls, including the earrings. I am a pear fanatic. My favorite jewelry in RL is my pearls and I mostly wear pearls in SL as well. I had to have these. My bid was the last one taken and was 2000L. So i paid a grand total of 6000L for the dress and pearls. this means I will be living in this for a while. I am not one to spend so much on things like this, but all proceeds went to a great cause and I do believe the price was worth it. Visit Icing and find a few sweet things for yourself.

My other items: shoes are the main ones I wear - Seductress in black by Adam and Eve

Stockings are sheer black by Bettys

Hair - Bish Entice
