City Spring by Maitreya.

Creator Onyx LeShelle's newest designs satisfyingly deliver on the shopperista anticipation that always surrounds the newest releases for her iconic Maitreya brand.
One thing I always appreciate about the Maitreya releases is the consistent, oh-so-easy elegance: creator Onyx LeShelle's designs are never fussy or overworked, focusing instead on what all fashionistas know makes all the difference: a close attention to detail. Check out the realistic "folds" of the drapery in these tops, and just a hint of shadows on the teensy straps of the feet (it's also fun that you get tons of color + texture combos on the straps + the platforms, making it easy to tailor any look).
These vibrant, feminine color palettes make these extremely wearable pieces all the more alluring for Spring.
And since it's always smart to spend your $L on pieces that are truly versatile, it's nice that these casual separates work together so seamlessly, so that you can fluidly style different types of looks.
And in other news, there's always time for raspberry macarons. If you've been waiting to make that big Spring wardrobe purchase, you'll wanna scoot over to Maitreya to demo these lovely things ASAP. City Spring love + fashionista kisses to all!

Springtime Dreaming.

In March, we NYCers start to get officially grumpy about still having to deal with cold weather. Luckily, one can quickly remedy the chilly blues by dressing for Spring inworld.
This sophisticated, wavy shoulder-length "Teddy" 'do new by Truth paired so nicely with this knowing face, which is the newest "Zara" skin release by Glam Affair that's literally swarmed the grid in popularity. There's a certain je ne sais quoi in the expression, making me eager to try it in darker tones as well. Casual elegance is just so fitting for Spring, no?
And I had to show y'all a quickie hunt prize that I finally found with the help of a talented new huntress friend: these platform ankle boots by a brand that is new to me called Deer. The colors a bit primary (which I happen to love) + the mini-plates and gold rivets are tres military glam (the hunt prize comes with a HUD to switch up between colors; the purchasable version contains more options). This gift will set you back all of $5L, but fair warning: it's a bit challenging to find (check the Styling Credits below for deets).

And in home decor news, anyone who hasn't hustled over to The Nest is seriously missing out on 1 of the best home decor hunts yet this year (check my post on Free*Style today for more infos). New free pretty things are such a great excuse to spruce up the home for Spring, too.

Springtime dreaming love + fashionista kisses to all!

Babyfaced.

The Sugar Garden is debuting its new "Hope" skin at Skin Fair 2013 (which opens today), and it's an exquisite realization of that babyfaced, utterly gamine look that creator Eilfie Sugarplum has been honing for years. The eyes are wide and innocent (the blonde brows -- which everyone knows can often be tricky -- are also expertly done) and the body is lushly soft; and these barely-parted, glossy lips are tres pouty, 'specially when paired with this softly surprised expression. Plus, the petite, rounded button nose! I was struck by how perfectly fitting it is on this fresh + youthful face. Take a look.
And in fashion news, Collabor88 has kicked off a particularly adorbs theme this month around "New Romance." I'm showing a few standouts here, including The Sea Hole creator (and Collabor88 organizer) Drinkinstein Sorbet's own "Sugar Whip" (is that a delectable name or what?) colored top + tank set, crammed with her usual rich, hand-drawn detail (check out the heart-print patterned shoulders!), which I paired with a vintage floraled knee-length skirt by Teefy that's just bursting with fluffy pleats 'n'  ruffles. Some knee-high socks + metal-tipped pumps new by Baiastice + the latest sideswept hair by Truth capped off this breezy, Spring-ready look.
Many thanks to the ever-on-point Sophia Harlow for making sure I got my Skin Fair 2013 stuff together this week. Babyfaced love + fashionista kisses to all!

Daily Grind.

Sometimes the NYC daily grind calls for certain things to um, soften up the experience a bit.
Isn't this skin supercute ('specially with this new asymmetrically-cropped bangs hair by Truth)? This is the "Wednesday" skin line by Essences, which I'm wearing with a gamine frex layer + ever-so-slightly-parted-lips matte lipstick (both tat layers, also by Essences). Gotta preserve the innocent look wherever possible, heh.

Daily grind love + fashionista kisses to all!

Gatcha Got Mes!

Another look for you today showing the latest "Panda" gem baubles by Donna Flora, this elegantly upswept "Sierra" long style by Truth + more pretty things at The Arcade, including a 2-toned dress by Baiastice (with matching print-trimmed sunglasses) + these sporty oversized watches by Yummy. Plus check out this sky blue & tan leather buckled messenger bag by DECO, which is so NYC that I could happily wear this the rest of my SL days. Luhs!
And here's a better look at these paint-tipped nails, wolf carving ring + watches, all gatcha prizes at The Arcade + all in my fave not all that serious style. The tongue-in-cheek cuffs by Fanatik are another gatcha grab there as well, which I just couldn't resist in this saucy pink one, heh.
Btw I'm drinking tea here because I just can't seem to win the @#$! pink lemonade at the Teefy's Arcade gatcha (the sunglasses help hide my tears of frustration). Gatcha blues love + fashionista kisses to all!
