1 Stripe, 2 Stripe, 3 Stripe, 4

Stripes have been popping up all over the grid lately + we fashionistas have been gobbling 'em up like the fresh roasted turkey meat that we's a-gonna be enjoying in a few weeks. With stuffing + sides. Yum.
Twisted & Spoiled's newest group gift is this striped deep V-neck tank + these superlow-slung, unbuttoned jeans. I'm really digging this dark, smoky plum color. This store's gifts are always so generous (typically including an accessory or three); this time it's a corded leather necklace with cute beads that totally works with this casual look.

I've been liking the body "glow" on the free Bishwear skin gifts + this one is no exception. (It's hard to tell, but the dark eye makeup lightly "runs" at the corners -- such a smexeh touch). I love how this warm, light latte skin tone totally works with today's $50L Fridays hair from Lamb. Aren't these heavy fringe bangs supaflirty? I love today's stripey scarves from Artilleri for $50L Fridays. You get 2: the peachy melon + the silvery blue/cherry combos are so yums.
In other news, I have found my new favorite shoe: the brand-new open-toe "Boudoir" bootie by Kalnins. OMG do I heart these. The heel-to-shoe ratio is pencil-thin smexeh and I drool over these luscious, suparealistic textures. The color-change HUD is the joy for those of us who love to obsess about color details. *drives me-self crazy with seemingly infinite color combos nom nom nom*
The next Ode To Stripe is a flirtatious green number I found at SK Designs. This sexygear store has bordering-on-scandalous designs + a whole discount area on the top floor near the lucky chairs. I paired this sweater with the playful, raspberry-striped Strayer scarf, complete with little-girl star patches + large stitching seams. It's superflowy when you wear it too, which makes wearing it way fun.
This $50L outfit came complete with pretty thigh-high striped wooly socks. The ribbony stripes are so pretty+ I love the bare midriff. Who says winter has to be practical? Not me! I also added shiny black stomping boots + this free supacute gold-striped "corset purse" from House of Sanu.
Winter Moon's store closing has many people shedding a few tears, including moi. *sniffs* Everything is now $50L + there are some good finds here. This $50L "Scrum" dress is ripped in multiple places + even comes with its own holey stockings. I've been living for these Fishy Strawberry torn net ones however (love how the long, single seam crawls right up the hiney) so I paired those with this dress instead.
Don't even get me started on these N-Core superhigh schoolgirl heels with ruffled white anklet socks. I've had them forever and they are still. The. Smex.
We never do this, but Gavin + I did the matchy-matchy thing last night. I'm wearing a free Djunk dress that's not new, but still remains one of the hands-down fiercest stripey finds right now (aren't these green & gray stripes delish?) Definitely go grab it if you haven't already; it also comes in several other eye-popping colors. (While you're at it, scoop everything else, at both locations. Everything. Is. Free. Your inventory might not thank you, but you will feel drunk with power).
Gavin has been eyeing this black & white striped polo from Sey + he finally scooped it last night. Doesn't he look amazing in it?
I love Sey's edgy-yet-elegant styles, especially for men. Something about their designs makes the hipster thing look totally flawless + elegant. This black belt is spot-on with this look (good job G! Hee). Gavin finished this look with his fave SoReal sneaks.
Too bad we didn't come upon any giant striped candy canes last night. We did, however, discover some giant striped pink teddy bears at Tigerclaw (another everything is free store).

Love + fashionista kisses to all!

Strumpet Mode

I was innocently strolling around the grid when my friend Rene Caerndow spotted me + called me a "tasty strumpet." According to Rene, the term "strumpet" means "like a sassy tart, but cuter" in (the Queen's) English. Lord love the British.

Here's what I was wearing that day, plus 3 other strumpet-y dresses, tattoos + jewelry looks that are nearly all free or $1L. And the background? Just the free kick-ass photo studio group gift from Lithium. Love!
This free purple minidress from LP Design is so fierce. The silver stitching detail + "open heart" buttie cutout (rimmed with cherry red) is just too much. In a good way. In the words of RL stylist supreme Rachel Zoe, I die.This much exposed skin screams for hawtie tats, and I remembered this striking freebie back tattoo from Cyanide. The thigh gun is the former I>3 Rien lucky board tattoo gift; there's an Ace card and gun on the thigh + the words "Power Doll" etched across the tummy. I totally heart sassy tattoos.

This black dress by Hyper Culture is one of the best finds on the Mix & Mingle Hunt (which ends today so hurry if you haven't grabbed it yet). I agree with Rene that the just-peeking-out buttie (from underneath the lace edges here) is very strumpet indeed.
The black canvas of this dress really makes your skin + eyes pop, and I have fallen in luuurve my new fave eye store: Negoposi. It is such a gem for anyone who loves shiny, glowy, luminous eyes like moi. And get this: all eyes are $30L each. Amazing! There are some really cool freebies/$1L gifts at the Designer's United II showcase (the dark "crow" theme is so lovely), like these $1L Djinn & Tonic earrings: check out the teeny tiny crow dangling from each oval faceted stone. Keeping it casual is a must when trolling the grid so I slipped on SoReal's meticulously detailed sneaks, which might just be the the absolute perfect carnation pink. The level of detailed texturing on these sneakers is simply eye-popping. (For me, SoReal does for sneakers what BAX does for boots: sets the standard to beat for super-realistic textural detail). Finally, I've been wearing these $1L tough-girl finger tapes by Luck Inc. to smex up everything.
Strumpet? I'll give you strumpet. *smooches Rene*These sexy, slouchy Miel socks + the fun Sey pumpkin handbag had me at first glance, so I gladly jumped on the orange-and-black bandwagon and created this look to go with. This triple mini-pumpkin ring is so adorable, and I also adore the mini candy corn earrings. It's a bit hard to tell from this pic, but the skirt on this striped Solange dress is really unique: the skirt is made of individual "feather"-like pieces that flutter out when you move. So pretty, especially with this unique "white ink" tattoo. Here's the black and gold version of the same SoReal sneaks too.
All this orange put me in a contrary mood, so I donned some silvery rocker hair + other silver stuffs. This shaggy 'do is just as suuuupaflexi as it looks.
Atomic's pumpkin hunt is giving away some gorges skins, but their bat tattoo gift is also supacool. I matchy-matchy'ed it with this Alyssa Bijoux bat charm necklace. And these free furry black booties with stiletto heels are just darling, especially with black slouchy sox.Back to the free Lithium photo studio for a sec: this thing is so awes. The graffiti backgrounds are tres smex and it comes with props boxes that you can move around. It also comes with 4 poses, but my boo Gavin McGinnis and I were having fun playing around with the Diesel Works Halloween gift (a super generous collection of past poses gifts), including some naughty couples poses. Here's Gavin and I proving once and for all that there's nothing sexier than sprawling out on barrels full o' toxic chemical laxatives.
Gavin won this "SHOW ME YOUR BEWBS" T-shirt from the Atomic lucky chair and thought it was funny. Personally, I was reminded of the signs that shirtless dudes liked to raise above their heads while clutching beer and shouting things at girls while zooming by in pickup trucks. On the freeway. In Arizona.My "Spidey-sense" tells me that I'll be embracing my strumpet identity often from now on. Thanks Rene! You da best gf. -- Oh and what's that I hear 'bout London? How it tries to be the NYC of the European continent? *foresees a NYC vs. London throwdown in the not-so-distant future*

Love + fashionista kisses to all!
