the long cold nights.
November 17, 2009
Too many late nights, not enough sleep, too much whiskey, too many cigarettes, too much talking, too loud music, too high heels, and it’s sooo cold out. xo, Abra

November 13, 2009
One more for the road…thanks to the mister for the title, since I am ‘looking like a snow gnome’ in this look…bahahaha…a few things to note: I love these metallic Goonie bags!!!, Curio’s new Winter skin is just lovely with it’s blushy cheeks and beestung lips…like April, revived in a snowstorm, Paranoid is a cool t-shirt shop with some nice, cheeky shirts and free things in the back room, and I love BomBon’s new socks…there is a free pair of pinky colored socks at the shop as well. Check it out and have a lovely weekend all! <3, Abra

keep me warm.
November 13, 2009
Brrr….wasn’t it just June? I’m having to wear thermals under my clothes irl, and in world I want to look warm to feel warm, you know? The good thing is that one can justify wearing many, many layers in both lives, to compensate for the lack of sun/warmth. Lots of goodies in the mix, starting with Maitreya’s scarf hair, which is just *perfect*- each of the 3 styles are executed so well…how could they ever let us down?! Tuli’s Bella is definetly a right-angle turn for the brand, and in the right diretion! What a pretty face this is, so natural, matte lips, interesting makeups. It’s a little more mature of a face, but in the best way possible, and I just love freckles and Tuli is spot on with hers. I love this face!!
Niniko is another store that, again and again, turns out cute, comfy, creative items that one can’t help but love. Sometimes I wonder if I’d ever become ‘tired’ of a store, but no! Not this one! This Cape Cardigan is fantastic for cold weather layering and has a little big of Red Ridinghood/Storybook cuteness going for it. Love this older LAQ babydoll cardigan, so girly and layerable (bless designers that make undershirt layers for outerwear!). LeLutka’s new items are great as well, love the new skirts, the african print one and this ‘Paine’ mini. So much volume in this look, it asks for some tightness to tone down the puffs and this mini is just the perfect shape for finish.
Anuenue’s Secret2 mufbon is so pretty, with the wrapping and flowers! If you were lucky enough to get it on the first try of the gatcha-gatcha machine, then bravo to you! I had to wait a bit to get mine!! Anyone need an extra yellow scarf?? hahaha. I came across Fluffy a while back on one of my random tp sprees and it’s since grown a lot. I love their polkadot socks and multi-colored nail polish. Housed in the same store is Null, which makes this rockin’ take on the Hermès Birkin bag. It’s called the Gainsbourg, after Jane Birkin’s husband and daughter, it’s texture change and excuted so well. There are also some sexy men’s shoes there, for all the guys out there. I’d like to see them in a look!
I am off for the weekend, as soon as I finish my 50L Friday’s shopping, that is! xo, Abra

whatchu want.
November 9, 2009
Hey everyone! Long time no see, I’m still around! Just been busy with my RL lately. I have some nice things in this look, starting with Tyranny Designs upcoming skin release. If you remember, I reviewed Sweet Augustine this summer and this upcoming skin release is a spring board from Augustine’s cute features. I have to say, I’m very impressed with how beautiful and adorable this face is! Tyr did a fantastic job and everything about this skin is love, love love! The face! The body! The makeups! Stay tuned for her new release!
KA-mi-LIAN was a new-to-me shop at this summer’s Skin and Shape Expo and I ended up liking the cute faces that were offered there. Kamilian Molko also makes adorable clothes and shoes and this Blair top is a good example of her workmanship and design! The clothes are all very versatile and flattering, as are her skins. Definitely a shop to check out.
Kalnins just released these Boudoir shoes the other day and, like everything in this line, they are impeccably made, come with tons of options (skin tone, colors, size, all HUD controlled) and are spot-on current. I love the leather texture on these open-top booties, so real you’ll want to touch your screen! They’re just posh enough to wear with girly clothes and have just enough punch to toughen up an outfit.
I’ll make a point to come back here soon y’all, until then, big smooches. xo, Abra

gramma colors.
October 31, 2009
This post is for my gram, since she loves bright colors such as these. :D I’m wearing Whippet & Buck’s new Boatneck top and Trousers, which are lovely and classic and so durn versatile, like what you’d expect from their line. ROT released another pair of Doc Martin style boots and I’m super excited about the new colors/patterns. They’re color changing and so well textured. <3 AnyKey Munster designs beautiful jewelry for LeLutka and also owns his own shop, The Golden Fleece. I really love the eyes there, as well as all the jewelry, and last time I was there I picked up a little Obosnui friend. He’s cute huh? Just don’t poke his nose, he doesn’t like it. ;P Sweet Newreem is opening a DUBOO glasses shop in Elliott! Be sure to visit as her glasses are super adorable creations! Happy Halloween everyone! <3, Abra

achoo.
October 29, 2009
Hi all <3 Sorry for the lack of postage, omgah, I’m so behind on what I have planned here. ‘Tis the season for sneezin’ and I caught a cold. >.< *achoo on u* RL has been hectic and add a flu bug onto that and things in my house have come to a screeching halt. Thankfully, I was able to find a moment to pop on, visit the Albero Autumn Fest, and post this look. The former is chock full of festival exclusives and discounts and you much check it out! The latter consists of my current favorite comfy clothes, and is very RL inspired, especially as of late…omg thank the world for yoga pants or I wouldn’t have even left the house for food! I’ve been wanting yoga pants in sl for a while, they’re one of those things I love irl and peculiarly, did not see nor own in world. I was talking to Emma of Surf. Co. about it and was basically like, “you must make these!!!” Thankfully she complied, and made them very well indeed! They very much go along with her shop’s cute n’ comfy aesthetic. She’ll have a 3 pack up for Fifty Linden Friday’s, starting at midnight, so remember to participate! Another thing I love is Amerie Spitteler’s Short Parka. I love the subtle animal print and the black and gold colors. I love black with gold and I think that, although the combination is totally glamourous, it works well in elevating a comfy look like this, making it more appropriate for street wear for us lazy ducks who can’t seem to muster up the energy to find a hair brush, let alone a pair of jeans. One more thing, my Doozer has been outdoing herself over and over with her new releases at Shade Throne. I love her new Wolfe shades and all the African inspired jewelry I’ve been too sick to debut. But please, check it out and check back for a future feature. Now there’s a tongue twister for you. <3xo, Abra

Deviant Girls
Hi all!! Designer’s United is back on October 25th and with a new theme: Crows! This theme is especially exciting on a personal level as crows and ravens are my favorite birds. If you remember, the first installment of Designer’s United, in August, had a Jellyfish theme and was chock full of amazing and inspired pieces. We can expect that same level of excitement and inspiration with the coming event, and I’m happy to have the chance to showcase some of the delightful pieces that are in store for us! As Jellyfish was a perfect theme for the end of summer, Crows are so fitting a representation for the deep darkness of the Autumn months. Let us begin.
