Memories of {mon tissu}

I admit, entering contests over the past year has taught me a lot about blogging.  I've learned how important it is to make sure you pose in a way that shows off the clothing, how to edit photos without distorting the main focus of the picture, lighting.....it goes on and on.  I have learned a lot.   Still, the main thing I have learned is how important the credits are for each item.  I admit, in the past, I have slacked a bit with a skin or eyes that I wear constantly and I haven't don't many pose credits because I have so many.  I have since learned the importance and I suggest to new bloggers....join some contests....if nothing else, it will teach you how to be a better blogger!

So, with that said, I want to present to you....my first memory of {mon tissu}!

When the contest was announced for {mon tissu} blogger I thought back to the first time I dived into their cute little store.  I remember I about died and fell in love with just the outside of the store. A beautiful little village square that was reminiscent (at least for me) of the little villages on the Almafi coast in Italy.

I contemplated the wisdom of entering, considering my impulsive nature....but I wanted the shoes.  My friend had been wearing them and I wanted them so so much.  So, peering through the glass, I promised myself I would get the shoes and run.  Yes, that was the plan.

Bracing myself, I marched to the door, offering myself a quick pep talk. "You probably don't need anything else but those shoes....just find the shoes." Yeah, that's what I would do.

*Offers a dramatic sigh*  I don't have to tell anyone who has been to {mon tissu} what happened then.  I am sure it has happened to many a strong woman. 

Hello, My name is Krysta, and I am a fallen woman at the feet of {mon tissu}.  I bought the shoes, I sure did!

And a pair of pants, two Boho blouses, because one certainly wasn't enough....and a plethora of other items.  I banned myself from {mon tissu}.

I mean, I tried.  Only, I am an addict now...and when MESH hit the scene, well...I was there to grab the Lycia tank and bra...that's all I meant to get, but I walked out with the Sloane pumps and....lawd, you guys get the idea.

So when I heard about the contest, I wondered how I would do justice?  I am glad I have two chances...because one isn't enough.  I thought....the shoes that started it all and that (I AM SO SORRY) I have blogged quite a few times since, would be instrumental so....I shop...and what do I need?  A smart little number from {mon tissu} will do just fine!   I love the gathered material around the tie of the dress, it offers a really realistic and soft look with the shadows and the bow. 

The shoes, which I still absolutely love a year later, have the same attention to detail and soft look I love most from {mon tissu}. The heel?  That wooden heel?  Yeah, that's one of my favorite parts, but the cute lil ruffle on the front, the shadows....they sold me on this shoe.  I admit, I didn't even see the side strap until I bought them and put them on.  It is a super cute heel...why are you still sitting here?
In the end, I decided the shopping bags weren't enough and snagged me another....the cute little Weekend Traveler...well it just put me in the mood for this small travel back in time.

{mon tissu} has moved though and all that remains of the old little store front are my memories and a wishing fountain...but if you are a true blue lover of the brand, you can grab your Weekend Travel bag and head on over to  Mayfair and get to shopping!

It's Not About The Hair....anymore...

I realize this is my second Bikini blog this summer and you are all shocked and appauled....since I keep saying I rarely do them and they just...keep...happening!  But it's *BOOM* People and I am a great lover of all things *BOOM* and I know you are too....

I am also a big fan of mix matching and *BOOM* is great for that because all their releases have so many color options....so when the Ellio Bikini was released, I was stoked.  I mean, you can't go wrong with 17 different sets that you can totally mix and match!!!  I grabbed the pink camo top and the coconut bottom and had a blast!  They are sold as sets and as seperates and you get a discount if you grab a whole set.....but just get...them all and you may never have to get another bikini again.  Camo, Birds, Chevron, Hearts, Stripes, and the Solids.....=sighs=  HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG?! 

Well...you just can't!

I should also say, in the middle of my photo taking RH tped down on my head, photo bombed me, and proceeded to tell me how much he liked the Bikini....and that is the PG version people, cause you don't need to hear what he really said.  Just saying....ladies your fella will like *BOOM*'s Ellio Bikini too....blonde, brunette, or red head....it doesn't matter, he isn't looking at your hair anyways!

True Fact.

Also, tanlines ladies....for those topless beaches!  Grab yo'self a bikni, toss off your top and go for it!  If that doesn't set the mood for your day, I don't know what will!!!

Lingere Challenge Over?

I am no good at getting out of my clothes, unless its on accident in a public place....SL is evil and sometimes it does that to me...its horrible and I am a horrible prude.  So when JuicyBomb put out her lingere challenge, well...I thought I would do it, even if only one day...because I certianly couldn't do it everyday.  I'd die.  BUT I think I did ok...if not exactly erotic, it is lingere and I am wearing it.

Enjoy!
