Mellow Yellow.

Amidst utterly drowning in RL (launching a new RL jewelry brand, y'all!), I had to pop in to show you some of this month's must-haves from The Arcade and Collabor88, both of which are bursting at the seams with brand-new yummies. -- And Maitreya at C88? O yes fashionistas, you'll not want to miss creator Onyx LeShelle's rare appearance at this event -- and make sure to grab her strikingly new mod-styled, geometric-paneled leggings as well, which I thought paired swimmingly with this new tri-paneled, hearts-printed skirt + sweater set by Teefy + the latest jangly golden hearts jewelry by Maxi Gossamer. -- Btw this dreamy, utterly ingenue skin (swept with a hint o' glam -- check out this under-the-eye-rimmed, metallic bronze eyeshadow -- so so runway!) + beautifully severe, straight-across bangs hair by Baiastice (along with this meticulously detailed, wooden-paneled, golden winged angel figurine, which decided to grace my shoulder today) -- are all gatcha prizes that you can claim at The Arcade + are such finds for their megawatt couture power.

And in other news, I gotta give a huge *mwuahs* to mah girl Inka Mexicola, who recently decided to honor this photo here by placing it in her Essences store (and who always has very kind words to say about my photography). Thank you Inka, for your generosity and always-cheerful spirit! Love you mucho, chica.

Can everyone believe that the holidays are nearly upon us? Where the hellz did this year go?  Holiday madness is upon us, but good. *Wooh-sah*, mellow yellow + namaste, bitches. (that's for you, Eden)

Mellow yellow love + fashionista kisses to all!

Vargas Girl Friday

Today's pic is an homage to the great Alberto Vargas, originator of voluptuous pinup girl extroardinare. Today's look does feature some new goodies like these free "postcard" earrings by Chantkare + the latest Atomic skin gift (mmm matte fuscia lips), but this was more about just testing the ol' Photoshop skillz (gotta luhs the self-imposed challenges) whilst playing with some vintage styling.
I'm thinking of turning this into a pinup girl "series" (been very inspired lately by some amazing other "series" work on Flickr) -- but would anyone want one? Lol.

Pinup ready love + fashionista kisses to all!

Sunny Spring

The Unknown Hunt (named after the concept of discovering new stores) will offer some nice goodies when it kicks off on April 1, so I wanted to show y'all a sneak peek. This free springtime floral "belt" skirt by Y&R + free sunny T-shirt by Chokoreeto will both be gifties on this hunt, which I paired with some $1L Paper Couture tights, free earrings, free fishbone charm bracelets + a free girlie purse by S@bbia. -- The free beer was for the chickie. Really.
I've fallen hard for this week's new "Sarita" style by Truth. With a long braided piece in the front + a fluttery half-pony to the side, this charmingly messy style practically screams Springtime! Oh, and "Lemme put this here free butterfly on mah nose."
Gavin + I stopped by itutu last nite, where we snagged some free watermelons. Btw if you haven't yet been to Tee*fy creator Azure Electricteeth's new store LaViere, she's giving away a 3-color socks pack for free (I'm wearing her "Eggplant" color here).
I also snagged some housewares I hadn't seen before: a $10L set of dutch ovens (2 prims each!) + these cute $10L salt & pepper shakers (1 prim each). The marmalade can + marshmallows are free oldies but goodies, also courtesy of the cafe.
Speaking of yummies, Gavin found this pretty sushi plates set, complete with chopsticks, a small sake cup + several varieties (mmm salmon). *gobbles them all + refuses to share*
For us home decor frugralistas, there's more furniture gifts on The Unknown Hunt too, like this free chaise lounge, rug & lamp set by Blackbird + a free standing birdhouse by La Flat. And in case you haven't scooped it yet, this pretty free floral skybox is the current group gift at DPYumYum (check in Notices).
*Mwuahs* to mah girl Evelyn Hartshon for organizing a cute hunt for us all to enjoy. I'm off to enjoy the sunshine myself. Sunny Spring love + fashionista kisses to all!
