Parkison's Research Donations....

In today's post I will not go into detail about what I am wearing but what I bought helps someone. In SL you come across so many different events. One event I want to talk about today is run by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. This foundation has created a SIM mall & certain percentages of the profits go towards Parkinson's Research. Now, I don't expect everyone to know what Parkinson Disease is so let me explain. 

Parkinson disease is a disorder in the brain that causes tremors, difficulty in fine & gross motor skills such as, walking, picking up items, or coordination. When someone has Parkinson Disease it means the nerves cells in the brain, called dopamine, is slowly dying away. Dopamine nerves cells send messages through out the body to make us move. In other words it controls movement, but if the dopamine were to die the condition gets worse. Studies have shown they do not know what causes dopamine to die, but they know over a life spam of someone with Parkinson disease it gets worse. There is no cure for Parkinson's Disease.

This attire below is being offered by Prism's Design, as an exclusive item for this cause. This beautiful dress is called Darcy in Zen. This is one of the many designers at the SIM donating for this cause. Shop there today and make a difference in someone's life.

The Moxie of Avant Garde

The thing with blogging is you really don't know when you'll be inspired next. Today, I was inspired when I saw the new PurpleMoon release on the Moxie. I honestly went a little crazy and bought the fatpack for Moxie but for a single color it's $250Ls. It comes with a dress and striped tights.

In the pictures below you can see I liked the blue one best! I really wanted to have some fun with this styling because after all, shouldn't styling be fun? I popped over to Silken Moon, knowing it's one of the best places to get an Avant Garde skin tone that will suit and wouldn't you know, I found what I was looking for, Signature in moonglow. Wanting to make my lips and eyes pop I added Silken Moon's Eclipse butterfly eyeshadow and Luna Blues demin for my lips.

Next I went to EMO-tions and grabbed one of their recent releases Antoinette. Now,  if you follow my blog you'll know I love history and historical fashion. So this hair style was a MUST have for me. Antoinette was recreation of a popular hair fashion trend in the late 1700s.  To follow tradition of the 1700s, I kept my hair color snow. Wanting to dress up my hair, I went to Bliss Couture and found Orliang Hat in noir and ocean. The price for each hat is $89Ls, can't beat that price, and they are modifiable.

Now here's a store I have yet to talk about [sYs]. [sYs] is an amazing store that specializes in urban chic cyber fashion for men & women. If I ever want to take my styling to an 'out of this world' look, I go here. In this styling, [sYs] was a must go to! There I bought the jewelry set called Maya. Maya costed me $380Ls BUT the set be can be changed into 28 different colors. At that price, yeah I wasn't going to pass up! Also [sYs] has high quality in all their merchandise so I never need to worry if the texture or parts of the item I buy are poorly made. I highly recommend this place people!

Finally, I needed some boots that were made for walking. Did that make you smile? Yes corny, but funny! Moving on, I went to Bax Coen Designs and picked up Regency in black leather.  Now as far as the boots go select the length you like. This ensemble will look good with knee highs and ankle boots too. It depends how much of the tights you want to show. Personally, I felt like thigh highs for today but may change it to another pair tomorrow. The way I see it, just pick someone that makes you go 'yyyyoooouchhhh' if you get my meaning.

And there you have it, a the Moxie of Avant Garde! If you have any questions or need help don't hesitate to contact me.

No Wedding Blues with the Right Wedding Shoes

Gosh this past week has been crazy busy! For those of you who know KokoMapiya in SL, we are SL partnered, on March 16 he proposed to me in RL and I said yes! Well after I kissed him a few times and forgot I didn't give him an answer. I'm already in the process of making wedding plans but it got me thinking about SL weddings too. A common thing I noticed is the brides shoes are often overlooked.

Luckily, In-Pose! has a new release on bridal shoes. The Bridal shoes, from In-Pose! comes in five choice of colors: white, antique, blue, lavender, and mint. The cost for a pair? 100Ls! Unbeatable price to help make your wedding day perfect. Don't forget to wear something blue!

Please note: These shoes can only be worn with Slink Mid feet.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines Day! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentines Day, if not here's something to smile about. There's a new group gift at PurpleMoon called Valentina Gown. 

Wanting to follow the traditional path for Valentines Day I've selected the Lissabel hair shaped as a heart and added a Angel Arrows of gold to shoot through the heart hair. Finally, I couldn't help but bring back the lovely Passionate Hearts jewelry set.

Are you smiling now? No? What if I told you the total cost of this styled ensemble is $339Ls? It's true! 

AND...

Ta-da! A smile!  Now go enjoy your Valentines Day and shop.

PurpleMoon 60Ls Rose Dress

PurpleMoon has done it again with there amazing 60Ls items. This week the new 60Ls items have been placed out and each one is better than the next. I had a hard time picking which one. I felt since it's almost Valentines Day the Luisana Dress in Red Roses would be perfect. Topped with Bliss Couture's Watanable Hair and Miah Hat I could style it to almost perfection. 

Please Note: The jewelry used for this stylish non-traditional Valentine's Day ensemble was from FineSmith. Regretfully Grapa from FineSmith can no longer be found on marketplace or in store. 

HOWEVER....

The total cost of this ensemble for hair, hat, and dress is only $238Ls! Surprised? You shouldn't be! Sometimes it's doesn't cost an arm and a leg to look fashionable.
