"Mix and Match" with Emma McKenzie

I've asked Emma to submit a few of her outfits to be posted on the blog. If you have a chance to see Emma bopping around SL, you've seen her "outfit of the day" for whatever day it might happen to be. Emma has a way of putting outfits together that is awesome. She can take one item and base a whole "look" around it. But, what I love the most is that she's so versatile. Here's the first of many of her "Mix and Matches".

My Inner Bully by Emma McKenzie

Whisper Despres recently opened her new store, Famish, and she sent me over a few things to try on. One of my favorites is the Big Bad Bully Belt, which was my starting point for this outfit.

The belt comes with the essentials for all your bullying and prankster needs. There are cigarettes, a slingshot with rocks, m90's, a box of matches, Elmer's glue, Big League Chew, a few stink bombs, a bottle of itching powder, and a permanent marker.

After putting on ::69::'s, Rush hair, my next mission was to find some jeans and I finally decided on GearShift's SubZero Cargo Jeans and paired it with LurveBite's Dirty Guy Beater Tank. Hidden in the depths of my inventory I found these fighter gloves by MadHouse88, they make me look more tough, no? I threw on my well worn Urban Bomb Unit PornStars Xtra Hi-Tops to complete my look.

Skin: Dutch Touch Lana B (no longer available)

Lip Ring: No Mercy - Panda

Cigarette: Persona

Laid Back Bad Ass with Carina Fredricksson

The night that I met Emma, I also met Carina.  When I mentioned that I'd like to feature Carina on my blog, she was so excited!  It's taken me forever to finally get this posted, but she is someone who I've had so much fun with since I met her.  We have the same shopping philosophy - Just buy it!

When contemplating our outfits for this post, she decided we would go with what she calls "Laid Back Bad Ass".  If it wasn't for her, I would have never found these perfect grungy jeans.  You all can't see it here, but my ass looks incredible in these jeans!

Carina looks a little more bad ass then I do, but I tried!!  Thanks for posing with me Carina, I had a blast!!

Nerdy Chic with Emma McKenzie

Last night I found myself hopping all over the grid looking for sales.  I didn't expect to meet so many interesting girls.  It turned out to be a great night of fun and laughter.

The thing I love the most about meeting and getting to know people is seeing how people express themselves in the clothing they choose and the way they put their outfits together.  I found myself talking to a group of fabulous women last night.  We each had very different styles, but we all shared a love of shopping.  

I thought I would show off a few of them.  I told them each to put together an outfit that reflected their style.  Emma McKenzie is my first fabulous victim.  She embraced the idea and had her outfit the very next day.  The thing I loved most about her outfit were the glasses.  I had never seen anything like them before, and as she sent over her style card, I found so many new spots that I had never been.   Truly, this is going to open my eyes to so many new places and designers.

Emma is adorable.  One of the sweetest gals I've met in a while.  We just seemed to "click" right off the bat.  Her style is adorable.  She loves flats, and has a way of throwing things together and just looking so unique.  

Thank you, Emma for helping me with my post, it truly was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to more shopping trips and posts in the future!
