Oh LAQ Why Have You Forsaken Me?!!! WHY!!!!!

I don't think I am the only one who does it.....but when I find a skin I adore, all my huds, shoes, feet, nails, cleavage tattoos, lush, and tango's match that skin.  It takes a long time to do but once it's done, then you know when you put them on, everything is set.  Lately I've been a little....impatient maybe?  Sad...mostly.....I love love love my LAQ Susan skin.  She is grown up without being garish and soft without being a baby face....she's perfect.   But......BUT.....with all the new appliers for feet, hands, nails, jumblies, and the lot....I been feeling a little left out.  LAQ Hasn't put any of them out....I go back weekly to see if they have caught up with everyone and nothing.  I have resisted buying the SLink feet and hands because I want to wait for LAQ to get out their appliers....

I am afraid it doesn't look like that is happening.  I haven't seen anything new from them skin wise in a bit.  I don't wanna put Susan away....but I am afraid if I don't, I will fall behind the rest of the advances in SL Fashion.  I want pretty nails and feet and hands and jumblies!  I WANT IT ALL!!

That being said....I did take off Susan today....It may be a while before I find one I love as much as her, one skin who looks like....me, if that makes sense.  In the mean time, this beautiful Alena in Chai from Pink Fuel will do in a pinch.  It's a little less adult then I would like, but there is really no complaint on the level of quality of Pink Fuel skins.

Dragging myself out of my building block today, I went over to My Attic and snagged this adorable hair from ploom. I really love their styles over there...whenever I want something a lil more edgy, they always seal the deal for me and this hair gives me a nice beachy keen feel with the cute little stars that go perfectly with the Undine earring set from Bliensen + MaiTai.  Love 'em!

And all of it goes ....I wonder sometimes if designers con conspire....because the hair, the earrings....the go perfect with the new Letty Straples from .:Pure:.  The dress is really beautiful and the details around the top of the hemline gives it a really finished feel.  Also, the alpha fits me perfect and sometimes that is a shot in the dark!  I got a big butt and I cann't lie...O.O  It also comes with the bangles that are scripted with a resizer, yay!  You can grab this dress at the store for only 60L!  WHA?  Yep, that's what I said.. 60L!!

I also tossed on my nails from Jamman....v.5 is out....and my meshly feet from PXL..I am wondering if they will do the same appliers as SLink did...again, another one of those things I am holding out on buying more feet and hands for...

Last, but not least....-wiggles brows- I grabbed this shot at the spot settled for the Home & Garden "Under the Boardwalk" Beach Event in July.....it's going to be a great event....all the items are at least half off original price and I've seen a ton of really cute items any summer home needs.....any beach needs.  There is going to be a beach party to start things off and tons of cute little gatcha machines to grab trinkets from....so mark your calendars!!  I will post more about this event later!

Pure Glitterati Whimsy.....

This dress from Pure put me in a whimsical mood today.....it's such a pretty dress, soft colors and layers that make you feel like a princess.  So while taking my morning walk, I had to share with everyone this little piece of heaven.  I am really enjoying the new releases from Pure these days, they are right down my alley.  If you guys are looking for something beautiful, simple, and original, then Pure is the spot....oh did I mention inexpensive?  This dress is actually on sale for 60L until the 13th!  GO SUBSCRIBE and get another free dress!!!  How easy is that...and while you are there, peak through her newest designs.

I also am sorta inlove with these sandals.  Sadly, I don't have enough SLink feet, shoes, hands, and such.....I think I may go over and get her hands....at some point...gah!  But the sandals are super cute and so easy to match with my skin.

Don't forget to stop by Pure...Oh and there are some nifty things for men now too! Check out their online gallery here!

Also, the poses....I know I don't talk as much about them as I should....but they are all from Glitterati....she is having a great closing sale.  While I am really sad to see her go, you can steal you some great deals there until the 30th.  LUCKILY....she will still be on marketplace with occasional new releases....but at 100 to 75 linden a pop for some amaizing poses....you can't beat it!!  Let's send Katey off with a BANG!!!

AHOY!!

AHOY!!!!

So Home Expo has two more amazing days of shopping....but I've walked those sims all week and my feet are killing me!!  Today, I decided to do a little R&R....so I grabbed this adorable number from .:pure:. , tied back my hair and headed out.  This little hideaway from ~*~ Inspired ~*~ offered the perfect place to relax and enjoy the early morning sunrise.  Amidst the sound of gulls and the crash of waves, the soft breeze of the morning I was able to snap a few shots.

I have to admit, I am a sucker for cute little sailor like outfits.  It may or may not be because I was in the Navy myself when I got out of high school...(years and years ago...lol) but the sailor look has always been a classy fun look to me.  This outfit is from Pure and cost me less then a designer bag would in SL....speaking of, I think they had a few designer bags out....I need to go back and grab one.  BUT for now, I am heading back into the cozy little Helmsman Cottage, grabbing a book and maybe a nap in the bedroom....I know I know, it's still so early.

You can never have too many naps.

Pure - ly Work Related....

Spring has Sprung...and with it comes a lot of building, designing, and well...work. 

While ~*~ Inspired ~*~ is slowly growing, so also is my wardrobe.  I am finding that with the extra lindens I am making building....just goes right back out into the linden universe and with building there is tons more things to buy...every prim is a possiblity.  I am in love with designing...but I haven't lose my passion for fashion.  I wonder if my brain, heart, and purse can keep up with my projects.  Here's hoping!

Last week, while tropsing through one of my favorite places to buy building sculpts, Katy's Kreations....I found this new little tiny spot....and it had clothes....and these clothes were designed by Katy.. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the full perm builders in SL....they help the little people like me start off learning the basics of building and well....I just wouldn't know what to do without them.  Tortured Prims?  That just even sounds as horrible as it probably is. 

 

Anyways, so I stumble over Pure and I gotta say....I am liking what she and Topcat have been putting out over there.  I grabbed this dress this week for only 60L  WHAT?!  What's that you say?  I sure as bunk did...and know what else...the girl is a sculpt mesher and I can't wait til they really dig in their heels cause WATCH OUT WORLD!!!  

I coupled the yellow belt for a splash of color and paired the vintage styled dress with a pair of cute boots from G-Field.  I mean really, how can I go wrong with this ensemble.  It is a must outfit for a working girl....and as I have mentioned....I will be doing a lot of that coming up!


Stop by Pure and get your shop on...and keep checking back...it's new, but it's spear headed by an amazing designer!


P.S.  Please ignore the fact that I am actually sleeping on the job there....-sighs- I don't know how I do it sometimes!
