Review: Earthstones

Earthstones is a store that I've been a fan of for a while. When I was asked to review this adorable set, I was so excited! I had seen this set in the store several times, but I just couldn't decide on the colors (the colors are all gorgeous!). I'm showing the set in Silver/Abalone. Sylvan is a warm, rich set, and each piece is more perfect than the last. It comes in a necklace, bracelet, earrings, and hip belt. The thing I love the most about all of Earthstones jewelry is it has a resize script which allows for easy sizing. I can't say how much I love this function! I really appreciate when designers take into account that not everyone is a sizing genius. Maybe I'm the only one, but I always end up really messing it up when I try to resize something. Usually I have to beg Oscar to fix it for me. Luckily he's sweet enough that he'd rather just help me with it then listen to me whine. :-) Ok, back to the set. The detail on this set is astounding. I love finding a designer who pays attention to all the little details in their jewelry. You have to buy this and try it on to fully grasp how detailed and gorgeous it is. It's a must have for any fall wardrobe.

If you haven't been out to Earthstones I urge you to go check it out, you're sure to fall in love just as I have!

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.

Lion Skins are definitely on the "must watch" list!

SySy's Latest Release

SySy Chapman has done it again! She has released another gorgeous gown. The Dutch Sparkle Gown is one of SySy's latest releases, and I must say it's beautiful. The textures and fit are fantastic, and this gown is so sparkley. It gives the appearance of light sparkling off the fabric.
Just like usual, the gown is available in so many rich, bold colors. I've shown the dress in pink (which is my absolute favorite, not to mention it looks fabulous with Lion Skin's latest skin release, which is coming up in the next post), aqua, and gold. The dress is also available in blue and red. This dress really makes a statement. Wearing this dress you'll stand out and will get lots of attention.

Head to SySy's to check out her latest releases!

[ Riddle ] New Releases

[ Riddle ] has released a few new goodies, just in time for fall. They have released their Everyday Denim line. I love a good pair of jeans, and when you receive shorts, capris and jeans in the same pack, it's even better. I haven't stopped wearing these jeans all weekend, the texturing is perfect, and I adore the pockets. The denim is available in Dark Blue, Paint Splatters, Dirty Oil Stains, and a Bloody version. The jeans with the extra little "splatters" are all very realistic looking. These are great jeans for your fall/winter wardrobe. Especially if you are a sucker for dark denim like I am.

Next up is the Smexy Shoulders Sweaters which really are sexy. They show off your shoulders perfectly, but the ribbed texture is done very well. They come in 4 different colors, are available on every layer, for mixing and matching, and work as tucked in or worn out. These sweaters are perfect for this time of year, when it's cool enough for a sweater, but warm enough for your shoulders to be exposed. The sweaters are available in Cloudy Day, Bubblegum, Girlie Grape, and Smog. And honestly, I don't think I could choose my favorite.

If you haven't been out to [ Riddle ], this is a perfect time to go, you'll love what they have to offer, and I look forward to more new releases!

Jaywalk New Releases

Jaywalk's, Lyra Muse creates some of the most adorable casual laid back clothes.  Anytime she has a new release, I know that the quality will be superb and they will add to my ever growing inventory.  I love the 2 new sweaters she has just released.   Both are cropped sweaters which is really in right now.

Kara, which is probably my favorite, is an adorable cropped cardigan which comes with or without the t-shirt.  This sweater is available in 8 colors, and are available on the shirt and jacket layers.  I love the options that Lyra has given us with this sweater set.  It can be paired over any tee or tank you have in your wardrobe.  I could see this little cardigan over a cute little dress as well.   Love it!  I'm showing the sweater in pink and teal.

The next sweater is Tabatha.  Tabatha has that "sporty" feel, and it would be perfect to throw on when you just feel like lounging around the house, or a quick trip shopping.  The details on this sweater are amazing.  It's available in 8 colors as well, and I'm wearing it in lilac. 

As usual Lyra has also put a color of Tabatha in the lucky chair, so you lucky chair stalkers can hang out and win yourself one.  Who doesn't love special free gifts?  Lyra is so generous with her lucky chair gifts.

Visit Jaywalk today and pick up one or both of these cute sweaters!

(Ok, I can't do slurls, I don't know if it's just me, or what, but as soon as i figure it out, I'll put it in.  Otherwise, just do a search and you'll find Jaywalk!)

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.

Review: JE*REPUBLIC

One night I randomly received a gift from a store I had never heard of. I didn't know if I had somehow stumbled into the store and clicked the subscrib-o-matic, which I tend to do often, or what, but I was excited to open the gift and find the cutest earrings. I put the store down on my list of places to visit when I had a free minute. When I actually made it to the store, I fell in love. JE*REPUBLIC is an amazing store, with some amazing finds. Jungeun Vella sent over one of her latest releases for my review, and when I tried it on, I fell in love! I've been in a "jacket mood" lately since the weather in changing, and I'm so excited about autumn. This jacket is appropriately called Automne, and is a beautiful rich brown color. The detailing on this jacket is amazing. It has 2 options for the neck "open and closed" which both work really well, and aren't a pain to size at all. I've shown both versions in my picture. There isn't a huge difference, but it gives you 2 different looks. The jacket also comes with prim cuffs for the sleeves which are extremely well made. It also features a sculptie bottom for the jacket, which normally I don't like because it never looks right on my av, but this one is perfect. This is definitely a jacket that I'll be wearing over and over again.

Make sure you visit JE*REPUBLIC, you're sure to fall in love as much as I did.
