Second Life: I Feel Pretty

My First Life kept me quite busy this week, hence the lateness of this post. Let me show you some shiny new pretties from Loordes of London. As usual, if you want to see the outfits live, just come on by the Loordes of London main store between 12 - 1 p.m. this weekend, when I am working.

First out, Le Pecq combo top with Pecq Down Under slacks, The Phalanx Formation sandals and La Boheme Ceramic set, all in pink tones. Looks good enough to eat.

A closer look at the detailed stitching and button textures of Le Pecq and Pecq Down Under. I love the realistic shadows and 3D effects. These items, and others in select colors, are currently available at SL Vogue Fallfest.

The Phalanx Formation sandal for Slink High Feet, now available in select colors at the SL Vogue Fallfest.

Skivvy in Vogue dress, here accented with a red belt and matched with Vermallion Slingbacks in red.

A closer look at the detailed textures of the belt. I love the realistic 3D look of both dress and belt. Skivvy in Vogue is a new release currently available in select colors at Fi*Friday and Fresh Style.

The Vermallion Slingbacks are available in assorted colors at Fresh Style and Designer Circle.

I can't get enough of these shoes, the elegant lines, the classy design, the amazing colors. What's not to love?!

From the dark forest to the light and crowds of the Champs Èlysèes in Paris, France. Keeping the autumn chill at bay with The Foofy Hoodie and Sondrio Jeans, matched with Amherst Pumps.

Cuffs, tassels and pockets of the Foofy Hoodie feature a lovely knit texture, and I absolutely adore the label detail in the pocket of the Sondrio Jeans. The Foofy Hoodie and Sondrio Jeans, among other items, are currently available at The Thrift Shop.

The Amherst Pumps have been featured quite a bit in my blog lately. This version is without the ankle chains, giving them a simple, elegant look that works well for any occasion. Currently featured at the SL Vogue Fallfest in select colors.

Roll Of The Dice bracelet is too gorgeous for words. I'll just let the picture speak for itself. A new release now available at Fi*Friday in select colors.

Do you feel pretty yet?

Enjoy your Second Life!

Second Life: Loordes, that's a lot of events!

So many new things, I hardly know where to start! Tops, bottoms, shoes, accessories, whole outfits for peanuts. I am not even going to try to tell it in words, I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. There are so many events, I will list the items and corresponding events at the bottom to make it easier to find.

I went for a nice relaxing walk in the beautiful autumn sunshine and to keep me warm I wore a Montgomery Duffle Coat and my Vitolini ankle boots in matching red. Le Pecq Down Under pants complete the ensemble. I accessorized with my new favorite necklace, The Tonan Queen, and Hooke's Law earrings.

Just look at those amazingly detailed toggles. Complete 3D look.

Hooke's Law earrings in red. Also available in several other colors at the Loordes of London main store.

Vitolini Boots in red. Available in several colors at the Loordes of London main store, for only 55L each. Bargain.

Taking a selfie on the Champs Èlysèes in Paris, France, wearing the latest from Loordes of London. Le Pecq jacket and shirt top matched with Le Pecq Down Under pants and Lucciverdi Zipper Boots, I think I look very chic. I accessorized with Nefertiti's Splendor earrings, The Serville War bracelets and The Tonan Queen necklace.

A closer look at the Nefertiti's Splendor earrings and The Tonan Queen necklace. The textures are amazingly detailed and very high quality.

The Serville War bracelets, here in red and gold to match the outfit.

Lucciverdi Zipper Boots are both sexy and chic I think.

I have to point out the detailed stitching on the Le Pecq top and bottom, as well as the gorgeous button textures.

Another look at the Lucciverdi Zipper Boots. I love the zipper decorations. They come in several select colors at The Fashion Times Sales Room.

Palermo Heels in black and red, with gold clasps. These also come in several select colors at The Fashion Times Sales Room.

The Pinup Pumps are quickly becoming a classic from Loordes of London. Find them for sale at The Fashion Times Sales Room.

Second Life: Shoes are a girl's best friend

That thing about diamonds, it should actually say shoes. Because honestly, can you ever have too many shoes? Of course not.

London's Fog is an oversized blanket cardigan that honestly I wouldn't mind having in my First Life, it looks so comfortable. It's also elegant enough to wear anytime, anywhere. Select colors are available this week at Fi*Friday. And how about those gorgeous shoes? The Phalanx Formation is an open sandal for Slink High Feet. A brand new creation from Loordes of London and available this week at Fi*Friday in select colors.

The Phalanx Formation for Slink High Feet is also available this week at Lyfe of Style in select colors.

The level of detail of the textures on The Phalanx Formation is amazing. Just look at that stitching and the fine grain of the leather. A shoe that is elegant and classy and at the same time casual. And this is why I love Loordes of London.

Here is the same outfit, but with a different shoe, the Amherst Pumps. You may recall I blogged about that shoe earlier this week, one color is available as a group gift in the Loordes of London in world group. This week's Secret Wednesday deal are two more colors of the Amherst Pumps.

Amherst Pumps (leather and chains) is the full name of this shoe and I think it is obvious why. The details are amazing, from the high quality leather to the delicate gold chains draped across the heel, and the clasp for the ankle chain. Available at Loordes of London Secret Wednesday location.

And of course I have to show you the details on the London's Fog Blanket Cardigan, because they are so impressively detailed. The lapels are stitched with a delicate swirl pattern in contrasting color, here in Brown and Salmon. Get it at Fi*Friday this week.

To see this outfit live, stop by the Loordes of London main store between 12-1pm SLT on Friday.

Enjoy your Second Life!

Second Life: Fashionable, Fashionabler, Fashionablest

Those are to real words! I made them up today as I was looking through the new box from Loordes of London. A couple of not quite new items, and a couple of brand new items, all of them featured in events around the grid. Honestly, why would anyone shop anywhere but Loordes of London? They have everything for a complete outfit, and styles to suit most anyone.

The Joplin Rock bolero top was new this summer but it is already a classic. Here worn with the King's Sports Bra in Chocolate, but can also be worn without anything underneath, if you dare. The Joplin Rock is featured at this round of Designer Circle. Sondrio Jeans work perfectly to create an elegantly classic rock look, and the new Amherst Pumps complete the ensemble. The Amherst Pumps are the current group gift in the Loordes of London Second Life group. I chose to accessorize with The Tonan Queen necklace and Gilgamesh Undone earrings and bracelets. The hair is *TSM* Seagrass - Kiss from The Stringer Mausoleum. All in all I am very pleased with this outfit and plan to wear it to the next Red Heaven show.

A closer look at the amazing textures of The Joplin Rock top, as well as the lovely Tonan Queen necklace.

The Amherst Pumps in leather and chains is the group gift for November in the Loordes of London store group. Free to join, so a gorgeous pair of shoes for no cost at all. Doesn't get any better.

The Thasos Antiquity dress gives a slightly less casual look than the previous outfit, here in sky blue and ivory. This gorgeous creation was released a few months ago but still feels brand new to me. The sassy and sexy Anatolia Wedge is however brand new, here in ivory and silver. Dress and shoes are available at Fresh Style, right now. The hair is *TSM* Seagrass - Colder from The Stringer Mausoleum.

Here a closer look at the detailed textures on the Thasos Antiquity dress. Note how the fabric folds at the belt delicately, and the amazing detail in the fabric print.

The Anatolia Wedge, brand new release from Loordes of London, available at Fresh Style, and also at Designer Showcase, for 100L. These shoes are for Slink High Feet only.

See, when the existing words aren't enough, you just have to make up new ones! Will you be the fashionablest among your friends?

Enjoy your Second Life!

Second Life: Pink October

I know we're already half way through October, but there is never a bad time to bring attention to Pink. If you saw my post yesterday you know I was wearing a pink/purple outfit from an RFL hunt gift at Loordes of London. Well, I decided to accessorize with more pink...

I borrowed a couple of cuties from some awesome members of the KittyCatS community to go with my outfit. In my arms is Kissyface, a pink Love Leopard (Valentine limited edition). He is a cutie and a sucker for bellyrubs. Next to me on the floor is Phineaus, a Chateau Pink & White No. 1. He is a lazy kitty who likes to sleep, and take naps in between.

Breedables are a huge thing in Second Life, and I managed to stay away from them altogether for almost 5 whole years. But then Firestorm turned 3 and KittyCatS had a special cat, free. It was what they call a PermaPet, meaning it doesn't eat or breed, but still has all the fun interactions of a regular KittyCatS cat. Of course I had to get one. And my son got one to, and a handful of my alts.

As it turns out, the FireKitty was only the gateway into what I can only call the best addiction ever. Included in the package was a coupon for a free starter cat, which came with a week of food. Well, I opened a couple of them and bred them together, and then I was hooked.

A year later I've learned to pace myself a bit, but I don't regret a single KittyCat. The cats may only be pixel pets in a pixel world, but they bring so much joy to so many people. Even better than that is the community of KittyCatS Addicts. I don't know them all of course, there's tens of thousands of us, but I have yet to meet a KittyCatS Addict that was less than pleasant. I love them all to bits.

Stay Pink, and enjoy your Second Life!
