Ikoneyed.

Creator Ikon Innovia has attracted a lot of attention in recent months for his notably realistic eyes (his new Ikon store is the reincarnation of his previous Fashism brand). I've been impressed by his latest "Utopia" line, and the color I'm wearing here, "Trojan Blue," features a darker cerulean blue rimming the iris, that fades into a soft powder blue, with a soft, natural, walnut brown color framing the pupil. -- The eye is actually the only part of this pic that's utterly un-retouched; that's how impeccable Ikon's skills are. Take a look.
In other news, 1 of the 2 new releases by Truth this week include this beautifully tousled half-updo "Maggie," which was so pretty that I had to show it in 2 colors here (you also get a trailing, over-the-shoulder mesh piece, for more bohemian styling). This neon North Face parka, floofy pink leopard skirt, panda purse necklace + candy hoop earrings were all either free or $1L; tres handy for weathering the elements with a splash o' color.
Look for more colors of these fabby Ikon eyes in future posts (I'm looking forward to shooting their green-brown "Hazel" shade, which apparently is 1 of their most popular).

Eye of the beholder love + fashionista kisses to all!

Greedy Gratis Gimmies

I've been doing a bit of RL traveling lately, so when I saw these free sticker-tagged suitcases by The Kid Company, I knew I had to build a comfy casual look around 'em.
It's also been a minute since I've shown some gifties, so I thought it'd be fun to style a 100% gratis look for you today. Everything here -- including the pose + these bunnehs (their tiny hearts actually pulse + "beat," awwws!) -- is free or $1L, including some nice grabbies from Hair Fair 2011 (which ends in just a couple days!), and a new hunt called Greedy (gotta luhs that name).

Greedy gratis gimmies love + fashionista kisses to all!

P.P. Made A Mess on Suri's Chair

There once was a little panda who loved to get into trouble. Her name was Pretend Panda (or "P.P." for short).

P.P.'s favorite thing to do was to find new places to do something mischievous. Bad panda!
One day P.P. was walking by Suri Christen's house when she sniffed the most delicious smell. It was her favorite food -- pizza! P.P. couldn't resist sneaking inside for a closer look.
P.P. just had to help herself to a hot slice. Then she spotted Suri's brand-new pose chair. P.P. thought it'd be really fun to enjoy her snack there. Bad panda!
When Suri walked in and saw P.P. getting pizza all over her beautiful new chair, she got mad.
This made P.P. cry.
Luckily P.P.'s friend, Gavin Panda (G.P.) came by to console her. He treated P.P. to her favorite strawberry ice cream cone + made funny faces to cheer her up.
They were happy pandas.

~The End~
