2 Day Affair

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.

~ Henry David Thoreau

I guess that quote should include women, too.  I crossed my fingers and cast out my line many times at Sn@tch, but it wasn't fish I was after....it was this 22 piece outfit called 2 Day Affair (fishing prize - 0L).  It took me a few days, but I was finally able to reel in all 22 pieces.  Actually, this is not just an outfit, it's a complete ensemble including the fun, fur covered boots, pants, a skirt, an organza bow, jacket, fish net tights, garter socks, and the necklace and earrings shown below.   Since this is such a long post with lots of pictures, I'm going to embed the links right in the text and list the prices there, too, rather than at the end of the post as I usually do.

You can get  the hair in all but the last photo in tons of colors at (red)Mint.  It's actually a free demo (!), but is a wearable hair, too.  I love the way it cascades over the shoulders.  The hair in the last picture is Hollana from Truth Hair, which is available at Collabor88 for only 88L per color pack.  My skin is one that I blogged already, but I love it so much, I haven't taken it off yet!  Joelle is a free group gift at Lara Hurley Skin.  The only make up touches I've added are Miss Vanity Eyeshadow in neutra from Mock Cosmetics (40L) and Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics (180L).  My light aqua peepers are Sunrise Eyes in Light Verdigris and were a group gift from Ikon (sadly, no longer free).  Head on over to Ikon, tap the group join, and wait for the first weekend of the month - that's when group members are treated to free eyes. 

Friendship's Garden

"In friendship's fragrant garden,
There are flowers of every hue.
Each with its own fair beauty
And its gift of joy for you." 
- Friendship's Garden

This mesh tube dress from [ZD] Fashion and Accessories, available at Designer Circle, reminded me of this poem.  I love the floral accent in the sleeves and the skirt and the sweet blue color.  This dress hugs all of your curves and is available in three sizes.  My Goshi pumps in glaucous from Mstyle coordinate perfectly.  These pumps are currently on sale for 50% off! 


My skin today is a gift from Belleza called Chloe SK.  The Belleza group is not free to join, but there are several gifts available to group members including Chloe in a variety of skin tones.  When I was at Ikon yesterday picking up the latest group gift (blogged here), I saw the display of the other Eternal eye colors available, and I could not resist scooping up the blue eyes that I am wearing in this shot.  They echo the faded cobalt color of my tube dress.  She's So Mean in Vanilla from Exile perfectly complements the sun kissed tone of my Chloe skin.

MONS group gift Al Vulo Sally in Porcelain

This hot little zebra-striped number is a group gift from MONS.  There is also a giraffe print.  It shows off just the right amount of skin to make your significant other catch his breath and leaves plenty of leg showing. 

I'm wearing Sally in porcelain, complete with push up cleavage from Al Vulo, Fashism Sunrise eyes in Pale Blue, and LeLutka's LEA3 hair in Powder.  They make for a sizzling combo, don't you think?

Hucci and HOC Industries

The soft green color of this Hucci P Dot Dress, which is a group gift, suits the muted tones of fall.  Sweet polka dots adorn the sides and sleeves of this fun mini dress.  Here I've paired it with JOSS hair which was a former The Dressing Room find.  The band in the hat coordinates with the dress like they were made for each other.

Here you can see the full length of the dress and.......the most exciting fashion find of the week for me....these Color Change Platform Pumps from HOC Industries.  Not only do these shoes have oodles of color options for each part of the shoe, but if you join their group (which is free), you also have access to group only patterns.  These shoes are not free, but at only 175L for color change shoes, they are a steal!  I love these shoes!!

Also from Kennedy's, is this fun, flowery outfit called Fresh.  Bright yellow flowers dot a white tank top.  A cropped white jacket, jeans mini skirt, wrist bands and fun high heeled white, orange and yellow shoes complete the look.

This knuckle ring is also available from Kennedy's. 

Talented designer JaneDark Miles has created this fun bicycle chain necklace, earring and bracelet set for Designer Circle 14.  I love the glossy silver texture.

Lee, from Crank Design, is a cute, casual denim dress.  Also included are these white ballet flats, the tattoo, necklace, and rings which I am not showing in this picture.  Below you will see the outfit with the facial piercing and a white shirt which is also included. 

Crisp and white, this sleeveless Cindy dress from Crank Designs flows with every step you take.  The outfit includes the white pumps and necklace I am showing as well as a tattoo, facial piercing and rings.

It's hard to believe this *Jule* outfit from Crank Design is only 1 linden!  It comes with the top, bandana, bracelets, baggy pants and shoes.  Also included but not shown in the picture are facial piercings.

The coordinating handbag from Loordes of London.

Loordes of London is offering this Pure Contagion Bangle Set with Seven colors included.  The bracelet has a wonderful glossy sheen to it.

You'll feel red hot in these Bota Eternity boots from B&G.  A shiny, deep red with buckles on the side, these boots are sure to please.

The super-sexy MoN No!r dress from E-Clipse is a must-have for any wardrobe.  Zippers in the skirt and bodice offer a tantalizing peek at your soft skin while not revealing too much.  I love the contrast of silver and black in this mini dress and the bow on the shoulder.
