*Fishy Strawberry* is a new store that I've fallen in love with. The designs are so bright and colorful, and the first time I walked into this bright store, I knew it would be love. The new releases are stunning, and a little something for everyone. The Bon Bon Tops come jam packed with options. The shirts are available in the jacket layer for that untucked look and on the underwear layers. This blouse would be perfect worn layered or even on it's own. It also comes with necklaces and a broach. The necklaces are available in either 1 or 2 strands, and match the colors perfectly. It gives the blouse that extra pop. All the available colors are shown here: cherry, gold, silver, sugar. And another fabulous release are the Venezia heels available in the same colors. They match perfectly and have the most adorable little bows! I've worn these heels all weekend, I love them! I'm also wearing the Worker jeans in cabledude and carpenter. These jeans have amazing detail and are very unique with the pockets both on the legs and the optional pockets on the back. I thought these might be difficult to size, but it was really quite easy. There are 2 pocket sizes for the back for the perfect fit. I'm also wearing the Star Mini which isn't a new release but an old favorite. This skirt shows LOTS of leg.

Skin Flicks Latest Releases

Skin Flicks has quickly become one of my favorite stores on the grid because of the options that Mavis provides with each new release.  I love her new "Mix and Match" line, and when she sent over a folder of her new evening wear, I was blown away.  I'll admit that when it comes to evening wear, I'm partial to a certain "look".  What Mavis has done with this new release is give us options to take different skirt options and pair them with various blouses and jackets to create a different look.  I love this!  Mavis has provided 3 different styles which are sure to meet anyone's tastes.

First I paired the Brianna skirt with the Brianna top in Beige Floral.  I love the sexy cut of this top, one bare shoulder and the other sleeve puffy.  This skirt is perfect for a cocktail party where a short, flirty skirt is appropriate.  The perfect thing about this skirt is that it isn't too short, but the perfect length.  I absolutely love this floral pattern, and I love wearing beige in the fall.  It's such a rich, glamourous look.  Next up is Floral Jacket in Beige which I paired with the Grace skirt.  This skirt comes in a short and long version.  The skirt version hitting just at your knee.  I'm not a huge fan of "system" skirt looks but this skirt is very well done.  And this jacket, you have to see this jacket to believe it.  It's so well done!  Love it!  Last up is the Sarah Top with the Taylor skirt.  Of all the tops, Sarah is my favorite.  I love the cut of the neckline, this is definitely the sexier way to go of the three.

As you can see, Mavis McGettigan has done it again.  Another gorgeous Skin Flicks release!  If you haven't been by Skin Flicks, now would be a perfect time to go!

Lion Skins Latest Release Suzana

Lion Jonesford dropped on me a preview of Lion Skins latest skin release. The makeup options in this new release are just as fabulous as we've come to expect from Lion Skins. These are definitely not your everyday makeups. I love the use of colors around the eyes, and how unexpected they are. If you're in need of makeups that scream "drama" then Lion Skins will have something for you. The latest releases are in the Suzana line, I'm wearing them in pale tone. I love the soft look of the makeup. The lips are soft and feminine, not to take away from the bold eye. I'm drawn to more of a dramatic look rather then natural, so these new makeup choices were just about perfect for me.

If you've never been to Lion Skins, make a trip out to grab some demos. Lion Jonesford has so many makeup options in several different tones. The first time I went by to check them out, I was a bit overwhelmed. It's taken me a couple trips just to take everything in.

Skin Flicks Latest Releases

Mavis McGettigan sent over her October releases and just like with every new Skin Flicks release, I ahh'ed over each new item that I tried on. The October release was full of pieces from her seperates line, and each piece is absolutely perfect, and definitely pieces everyone needs for their wardrobe.

The Christy Mini Skirt, is an adorable short blue jean skirt, with a high waist that I absolutely love. High-waists are so "in" right now, and I love the look of a short little mini with a high waist. It's in a perfect jean material that can be worn with so many different types of shirts. I can see it paired with a boot, worn with sneakers for a casual feel, or for paired with a clog as I have here. A perfect staple for any wardrobe.

I paired the Christy Skirt with the adorable Larissa Blouse in this gorgeous green color. The shirt features a sexy cut out that shows just a hint of skin, and a adorable high neck. The ruffles and detailing on this blouse is great, just as Mavis' detailing is always great.

Next up is the Christy Sweater, perfect for our winter wardrobes. I love the sleeves on this sweater. It looks so warm and cozy, makes you just want to wrap it around you and curl up. Again, perfect texturing and details, you can wear this sweater with just about anything, and honestly, I think will get a lot of wear out of it this fall/winter.

Another one of my favorites in the collection is the Georgette shirt. Again, in this gorgeous green, that makes me feel like it's fall. One of the things I love the most about autumn is the rich colors. I've always been drawn to earthtones, so fall is definitely my favorite time of year, and this green is right up my alley. I love the plunging neckline, the adorable print, and the details.

Last but not least, is the Sasha Blouse in blue. This blouse can be worn so many different ways. It's available on the shirt and jacket layer, so you can wear it tucked in or out, depending on your mood. The blouse shows off your shoulders, so it's perfect to wear out when you want that sexier look. I absolutely love the richness of this color.

Mavis has done it again! Her latest releases prove why she's becoming one of my favorite designers in SL. Visit Skin Flicks to check out her new collection.

Ivalde Latest Releases

I don't find myself wearing system skirts very often, but when they are done well, they can look amazing. Neferia Abel is one of those designers who really knows how to do them. 2 of her latest releases feature fabulous system skirts, and they will definitely be worn often by me.

Everyone knows that Ivalde is known for their timeless, classic pieces. And when Neferia sent over her 3 latest releases for my review, I knew that these would quickly become staples in my wardrobe.

First is Ebha in Black and White. I love the shirt with the beautifuly flowing prim sleeves as well as they little ruffles on the front. They blouse shows just a hint of skin, which adds a bit of sexy to this outfit. The pattern on the skirt is perfect. It gives this classic piece a bit of a punch. The thing I love most about this outfit is the belt. I find it so hard to size prim belts and usually end up not wearing them because they never look quite right. This belt is on the jacket layer, with the knot and ties done as a prim attachment. It looks so natural and fits perfectly. I absolutely love it!

Next up is the Aghna dress in dark grey. I wore this dress around the grid on Saturday because I just felt so put together. This dress also features a fabulous system skirt, and the sleeves on this dress are gorgeous.

Last up si the Leona Jacket. I absolutely love animal print, and since fall is here, I'm really into jackets right now. The pattern on this is lovely and this jacket can be worn long (as pictured) or can be worn short as well. I threw this on with a pair of jeans and boots and I was ready to go.

If you haven't been to Ivalde*, head over for a visit. Neferia has so many releases for fall, you're sure to find something to make you feel beautiful.

*slurl coming soon (when I can get the thing to let me make one!!)

*AnnaH* Latest Release

Newness at *AnnaH*!  I absolutely am a huge fan of Annah Whitfield's designs.  She knows how to take classic designs and add her own twist to them.  So anytime there is a new release at AnnaH I always pay attention.

Her latest release, Camila, caught my attention.  Camila is a short, strapless party dress, with the cutest little ruffles.  Once you turn around, you see the cute bows that adorn each ruffle.  This dress is just adorable.  It's short and shows off your legs, but the sculptie skirt flows so well.  One of the best in SL, in my opinion.  It was easy to edit, which is always a plus.  It is available in black, a gorgeous vibrant red, and a shocking blue.  I adore this in blue!  It's one of those dresses that just make you happy when you wear it!

Head over to AnnaH today and pick up this dress in one or all colors.  It's perfect for your next party!

Jaywalk New Release

Lyra Muse, the wonderful designer behind Jaywalk sent over a couple of her new releases to try.  Lyra has been designing shoes, and as I told her, I own every pair of boots she has created.  She has just started branching out into making clothes, and I have to say, I'm impressed.  Her clothes are comfortable, yet have a very distinct style.  I think she's doing a very good job and look forward to seeing what else she has up her sleeves.

These capris are called Beatrix and come in so many colors.  I love the casual feel, and I chose the red because it's bright enough to make a statement.  The details on the prim cuffs are absolutely adorable.  Even the back has cute little details in the waistband.  You've got to check them out for yourselves.  Beatrix is available in black, blue, brown, green, grey, magenta, purple, and red (pictured).

Lyra has also just released some adorable cupcake hats (coming up in a future post) and has some special Halloween ones exclusively for her lucky chair.  I was visiting her store today and the lucky chair stalkers were talking about how they were dying to get their hands on them!

Second Wave Apparel Cinderella

Edited:  Thank you wonderful ladies for pointing out my error.  This will teach me to type a post in the wee hours of the morning when I should be sleeping.  And I apologize Sioxie for the mixup!! :X

Sioxie Legend, of Second Wave Apparel, has created one of the most gorgeous dresses I've seen in a while.  This dress came just in time for Halloween.  When I was a little girl, I would always want to dress up as something girlie and cute.  This Cinderella gown would have been something I would have died for.  The amount of detail that has gone into this gown is amazing, and I feel so regal and beautiful.  I'll copy and paste what the lovely Indigo says in the attached notecard she sent my way:

Once upon a time there was a designer - who, as a little girl loved a fairy tale book called "A Treasury of The World's Greatest Fairy Tales". And every night when she was a little girl her mother read to her from that book. One of the stories was Cinderella and the gowns and illustrations were so fabulous and magnificent that the little girl dreamed of wearing those gowns. She would dream it every night, until as a designer in Second Life she was able to make that dream come true..

Cinderella is available in 12 different colors. The dress comes with a top on 3 layers, glitch pants on 1 layer, a system skirt and prim skirt as well as a prim collar with lace texture. Only $L450 for a magnificent gown. Satin texture with gold trim and diamond accents - you are sure to feel just like a princess in this one.

Head to Second Wave Apparel and check out this amazing dress.  Thank you, Sioxie for sending it my way!

Moonshine Latest Releases

Shelly Toonie, the designer for Moonshine, sent over a couple of her new releases.  She has released 2 adorable cardigans in a variety of colors.

The first cardigan is an adorable solid with black lace trim at the bottom.  I love the way these cardigans fit.  They cup with prim sleeves and a prim bottom, which is super easy to fit.  It looks adorable worn over a pair of pants with a simple shirt underneath.  This cardigan comes in, black, crimson (pictured), pumpkin, emerald (pictured), saddle, and teal.

The second is the Crochet Cardigans which were released yesterday.  These have the same prim bottom, and prim sleeves in a different style.  I love this cardigan just as much as the other.  They come in soft colors combinations, and have a very soft, sweet look.  The texturing on both of these cardigans is wonderful.  This cardigan comes in blue, eggplant (pictured), mocha, and sage.

Both of these cardigans are definitely a staple in every wardrobe.  Moonshine is such a fun store, if you haven't been by to check it out, head over to the Silver Lake sim and check it out today.

SySy's by Sy Designs Latest Releases

SySy Chapman has been one of my favorite designers in SL for a while. When she sent over her new releases for my review, I couldn't change into them fast enough! The 3 new dresses she's released are perfect for autumn.

First is the Fay Dress, shown here in bronze. I love the detail on this dress, the prim sleeves which give it a bit of puff, and the ankle length skirt. The skirt hugs your curves just perfectly. And, as with all of Sysy's designs, the texturing is perfect.

Next is the Pull Coll Dress which is available in 2 versions. Version 2 is first, which has the same turtleneck, but the prim sleeves, which complete the dress perfectly. It's shown here in augerbine. The other version of the dress is sleeveless, for those warm fall days. I love this dress in white. Little shift dresses are my favorites, and this one is no exception. The prim turtleneck is perfect, and both versions are adorable. The skirt moves well and is very easy to edit. Definitely 2 dresses that every girl needs in her wardrobe.

If you haven't been to Sysy's, head over to check out the store. A little birdie told me that she's having a sale and has some ridiculous prices. Right now would be a perfect time to head right on over.

Kunglers Releases

Over the past few weeks the Kungler sisters have shared with me some of their fabulous designs, and honestly each week they just get better and better. I started with the two new releases this week.

The first outfit is the Antartida outfit, the latest addition to their fabulous Couture line. Included in this outfit is the gorgeous blouse which comes in 2 different versions. The version I chose was the one that was a bit less sheer for a more glamorous look, but the sheerer version is tastefully done as well. The knee length black skirt is perfect, it almost has a velvet look, which is perfect for the upcoming holidays. The belt comes on the jacket layer, and the awesome feather prim sleeves and neck. This look is the perfect holiday look, and will be perfect for all those parties you'll be attending.

The next outfit is Grecca. The Kungler sisters must have been in a party mood this week, because this dress looks like something you'd wear to a party. I love the length of the skirt, it looks great with a pair of heels to show off your legs, but it's not too short. The gold corset is perfect and the textures look like they are picking up the reflection from the light. I was wowed when I tried this on. The corset looks good without the bolero as well. It doesn't show too much skin, but just enough.

Bella is next. And I think of all the outfits that AvaGardner and Barbra have sent me, this is the one that I love the most. Of course, I say that with every new release. The wrap shirt fits perfectly, and comes in a sheer version and regular. I'm wearing sheer here, and as you can see, the sheer version isn't so sheer that you'd have to wear something under it. It's actually perfect. It reminds me of the beach, and even though it's getting colder here in real life, in SL I can wear summer wear all year long!

Ellen is an rich orange color, which is perfect for this time of year. I love orange, but don't wear it too often. In this outfit, it's absolutely perfect. The deep v of the neckline is tasteful but sexy. One of the outfits that makes Kunglers the brand that it is.

Last but not least is the Metropolli. I love the black and white print of this dress. I love the way the Kungler sister's embrace prints. Their designs are beautifully thought out and designed, and always leave me wishing I had their designs in my 1st life. The fabulous thing about these outfits are most all of them come with jewelry or manicures, which means you get so much more for your money.

AvaGardner and Barbra are doing a fantastic job. If you haven't been out to visit them, take the time. You won't be disappointed!
