Happy Year of the Dragon!

Truth District has been mobbed ever since the 50% off sale was announced this weekend. The fact that many Truth hairs are on sale is reason enough to run over (you gotta nab 'em at the Truth District location for the sale price), including this week's brand-new "Alexis" double ponys updo, offering just my kind o' whimsical girlie style.
One truly remarkable aspect about SL is how multi-cultural our community is -- and how easily we can all embrace diversity, at least in our individual style. Many creators are honoring the Year of the Dragon with adorable Chinese New Year gifties, like these paper cutout framed pictures free by bbqq; today's look also celebrates red as the traditionally lucky color, from this free cherry-striped mesh dress to the new cerise bloom earmuffs by Boom (something about this rich cherry color so reminds me of the Beats headphones I keep seeing on hipster heads around Manhattan).
In other news, if you haven't rolled around in a messy pool of spilled liquid recently -- well, you just haven't been embracing your inner video vixen. *strums air guitar, flicks more tea in hair*
It's sorta funny that after I shot this thing, I found the RL figurine (that I'm guessing this was inspired by) on flickr here, hehe.

Here's hoping everyone embraces their inner dragon (or other legendary creature of choice). Shin Nyan Kwai Luh love + fashionista kisses to all!

Sunday Style: Prints Palette

Today's Sunday Style features several striking prints, like these free Luce. branch stenciled tights + free brass rose Kloka shorts, which I dressed up with 2 bohemian $60L patchwork purses by Yomeshoujo for a Sunday walk with my restless teddys. -- Poor teddys. One was a bit shy; he seemed perfectly happy to peek out from behind my waist. *kisses teddys*
This 2nd look features a free fluttery top in mustard yellow (not a color I usually wear, so it was tres fun to build a look around). These free metallic beige heels were such a great neutral add to any strong print look; I liked a touch of contrasting color against these darker yellow hues, like this cherry watering can that creator YonYon Yip passed me to play with. -- It was way fun to water stuff; for example, Gavin really liked it when I watered his jeans. Hee.
A note about this hair: these playfully mismatched, half-up ponys by Truth are such a must-grab for anyone into more youthful styles (I liked 'em so much I'm showing 2 colors in this post). *mwuahs Truth Hawks*

Sunday Style love + fashionista kisses to all!
