Lost in Lori and Cyanne

I must have flowers, always, and always.

~ Claude Monet

As bright and cheerful as a meadow of blossoms, Lori, Chandelle's gift to VIP members, will bring sunshine to a dreary fall day.   With a bold floral print of posies scattered over a soft blue background, this mesh frock makes an adorable sundress, or can be worn as a belted top over a pair of blue jeans as I have done in this photo.  My hair is a new release from Truth called Cyanne and I love the color change scarf that drapes softly over the shoulder.  I've chosen to accent Chloe SK7, from Belleza with Crema LipColor in Sanguine from Mock Cosmetics and Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics, but otherwise, I've let the natural beauty of this skin shine through.  Who can resist the appeal of these Sunrise eyes in light green from Ikon?  

Also available at Chandelle, Luana is a sassy, off the shoulder top with a brilliant red sash at the waistline which includes the Nick shorts shown above.  This gift is available to the Chandelle free to join group.  I would like to introduce you to Tessie, from Soulglitter.  With her deep red lips and suntanned skin, this 10L skin is sure to turn some heads your way.  I've chosen to add Miss Vanity Eyeshadow and Lashes in gris as well as Mysteria Mesh lashes in layers over Tessie.  My hair in this shot is Daria, from Diva which is available for a limited time at Collabor88.  Finally, my Goshi pumps in cerise from MStyle coordinate perfectly with my red sash.

A Poetic Heart

It seems I have a poetic heart today!  I traveled to the ZoHa Islands this morning and while I was exploring, I discovered you can obtain some great gifts in the ZoHa Islands Hunt.  All you have to do is visit businesses on the ZoHa Island sims, and seek out the heart icon.  You can read about the hunt and access the slurls for the stores on this link.  Here, I am showing you the Versaille Corset Shirt, just one of the gifts hidden at Blah.BLAH.Blah.  It features a dramatic black on white floral pattern.  Due to the chilly autumn air, I decided to don an Open Cardigan in black from M.o.w.

My skin in the top photo is the Chloe SK group gift from Belleza over which I have layered Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with Lashes [gris] and Crema LipColor in Smolder, both from Mock Cosmetics.  I am also wearing Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.

Mila from Ploom (blondes pack) cascades over my shoulders and down my back in loosely gathered ponytails, adding a playful look.  Romance is in the air with my baubles today.  My customizable Romance necklace and matching earrings from Burroughs Jewelry can be tinted to a multitude of hues to perfectly coordinate with your outfit.   Right now, Burroughs is having an End of Collection 99L Crazy Sale, so the time is right to do some accessory shopping!

Finally, take a close look at these peepers, called Pearl Clear Pond from Poetic Colors.  With just the right amount of sparkle and a lovely greenish hue, these eyes remind me of water glinting off the surface of a hidden forest pond.  Simply tap the subscriber at Poetic Colors and you will be gifted these gorgeous eyes.  For this photo, I had switched to Chloe SK 0 (not free) while still wearing the Miss Vanity Eyeshadow, Creama LipColor and Mysteria lashes.

Sugar & Cyanide

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her. 

~ Helen Rowland

First, before I move on to today's freebie outfit, I had to show you a close up view of my Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with Lashes [peacock] which is available in a variety of colors for a short time at Mock Cosmetics for only 30L.  Don't wait on this one, or you will pay full price for this gorgeous combination.  Over my lips, I am wearing Crema LipColor in Bellini also from Mock Cosmetics.  My skin is Amar in milk from WOW Skins.  The complete avatar was a Midnight Mania prize that I won awhile ago, but I am just wearing the skin here.  I love the sexy mole just above the corner of my mouth!  I have added Mysteria mesh lashes to frame my Sunrise Eyes in light steel blue from Ikon.  My gorgeous tresses are a new release from Magika called Tomorrow and are available both on the Marketplace and the in-world store.  This customizable Basti necklace in black is an older purchase from Pepper. 

Leanne is the current group gift at Sugar & Cyanide.  With soft, blue tones, half length sleeves and an asymmetrical hemline which shows off your sexy legs, this mesh dress is sure to please!  Here, I have chosen to pair it with Goshi Pumps in Navy from MStyle.  These shoes are currently on sale for 50% off.  They are my favorite pair of high heels, and I think I now own just about every color they come in!

 

As soon as I saw Daria from D!va Hair at Collabor88, I knew she was destined for my inventory.  This casual, sideswept updo with a knot on the side can be dressed up with a color change ribbon as I have done here, or worn plain without the bow.  I love the way soft tendrils of hair escape and frame my face in this hairstyle.  My Hyperion necklace is from LouLou & Co. and I love the way its small bow echoes the bow in Daria.  For this photo, I am wearing Chloe Tan 11 from Belleza which is not free, but it's my favorite skin.  I have layered Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with lashes in soft brown over the skin.  My eyes are Sunrise Eyes in Light Green from Fashism (now Ikon).  I've also added Mysteria mesh eyelashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.

While you are at Sugar and Cyanide picking up the group gift, see if you can find the Womenstuff Hunt Icon.  (It's not hard to find!)  Inside the hunt prize, you will find this casual outfit which is perfect for brisk late fall weather.  It includes the warm Alexandria jacket, shirt, leggings and the S&C ankle boots which have a cute studded detail.

Perfectly Purple Tunic

 Something about her eyes or voice has always suggested the hint of a free spirit... 

~ Jeff Greenfield

I'm a free spirit on the beach in LouLou & Co.'s Mojo Tunic from Perfect Wardrobe.  Featuring a plunging neckline, which leads to a gathered, fitted midsection and a loose skirt in a soft purple tone, this mesh dress echoes the feel of hippie days.  Mojo is also available in brown for a limited time at Perfect Wardrobe.

I'm wearing another Belleza gift skin called Elle BR SK upon which I have layered a Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with Lashes in soft brown (available for a very limited time on the counter at Mock Cosmetics in multi color packs for only 30L), May LipColor in [twine] (free tester from Mock Cosmetics) and tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics.  My eyes are a gift from Poetic Colors called moon - autumn dark.  I'm not sure if these are still available, but there is a nice set of eyes in the subscriber at Poetic Colors and a pair of free eyes in the back of the store.  My hair is one of my first hair purchases ever called Tobylyn from Damselfly.

I've accessorized my outfit with a freebie from Burroughs Jewelry called Sunara necklace.  The neat thing about jewelry from Burroughs is you can use the HUD to completely customize the beads, geodes, leather and metal to perfectly coordinate with your outfit.

Dance Like Nobody's Watchin'

 Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

-Satchel Paige

Here I am in the Garden of Dreams, dancing like nobody's watching in Flower Power, one of the hippie-themed offerings available at The Perfect Wardrobe.  Complete with over-the-knee suede boots, this mesh dress is reminiscent of the sixties with its rich, circle-within-a-circle print fabric.  Offering a softly draped asymmetrical skirt, long, loose sleeves and a scooped neckline,  this frock comes in multiple sizes.  I've chosen to accessorize with Hemp Hair Beads and the Groovy Peace Necklace, both from Earthstones. 

My hair from EMO-tions is called Juliet.  Over my Chloe SK group gift from Belleza, I have layered a make over called Futura Bloody Catagonia (not free) and May LipColor [Twine] (free sample) both from Mock Cosmetics, as well as tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics (not free).  These mesmerizing eyes are Sunrise Eyes in Light Arabian Blue from Fashism (now Ikon).

Show Me You Love Me

 Don't tell me you love me; show me that you do. - Omage Jossy

Locate the Dirty Turkey Hunt icon at One Hundred and you will receive this earthy, rust-colored sweater.  With its bulky knitted texture, "Show Me" is warm, yet displays tantalizing glimpses of skin.  This mesh sweater includes an alpha texture with and without pasties and comes in four sizes, so you are sure to find the match just right for you.  Here, I have chosen to layer the sweater over a tangerine Intrinsic Tank from Jane for a look that reflects the colors of the season.  With a simple pair of vintage jeans, I am ready for a stroll through the woods.  In this photo, I am wearing Blake hair from Truth, Nellie skin from LAQ and Utopia eyes from Ikon in deep purple and blue.  I've added Honoriable Eyeliner in black from Mock Cosmetics and tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics.

Shhhhhh.....it's a Secret

All three of the outfits in today's post were designed to raise awareness of breast cancer and are available outside of Dirty Little Secrets.  First, with its sexy off-the-shoulder drape, shape-hugging curves, and delicate rosey blush, the BCA Mesh dress is sure to flatter your figure.  It's available for only 10L, as are the coordinating mesh high heels.
