Countess of cozy

Countess pumps are the new release at Skifija and are a luscious pair of Louboutin style skyscraper heeled court shoes. As always with shoes from Skifija they come with a hud which enables you to pick any colour of rainbow for every part of the shoe. Goran has worked hard to simplify the hud and is so passionate about his creations that he is in the process of making a tutorial to show you how to operate the hud and utilise all it's options.

 It is a one man mission that he has to help the lazy amongst us (hands up that will be me) make one pair of shoes become countless possibilities. I'm sure there are many of us out there that get so entirely frustrated at trying to match the colour of our skin to seamlessly blend with our shoes that we just give it up as a bad job and avoid sculpty shoes like the plague! if that is you then buy a pair of shoes from Skifija and reignite your passion for shoes! Goran will always be more than happy to help if you're struggling with the hud (psssst don't forget group members get 50% discount on Fridays!)

Jennifer

Well folks meet Jennifer she is the latest shape release at CS Shapes and I love her! Jennifer has been designed with a Brazilian body form in mind, so she is tall, leggy and has fabulous curves in all the right places & as you can see has the perfect pout! Where better to pick up a skin to match the shape than Shine who caters for Brazilian type skins. I've blogged Shines skins before and they're fantastic (p.s there is an mm board & luckychair there too).

If you're not familiar with CS Shapes then you should be because for me Xanthe Audeburgh gets the proportions absolutely perfect and I'm sure you'll agree we've all tried making our own shapes & it's much harder than you would think. CS Shapes has both male & female shapes & there are demos to try out so you can find the perfect you!

 Throughout my whole time in sl I kept the shape I made for myself  on my very first day, until  that is, I picked up Lana at CS Shapes at the surf N skate hunt. What  occurred to me  most about having this new shape is how great other skins looks on it, I'd tried so many skins in the past that didn't seem to suit my shape, REALLY!...sounds odd I know but it's true, so it just goes to show what difference a greatly designed shape makes!

Good Friday

 Good Friday! well on a non-religious point, this is a fashion post afterall, I'm certainly having a good Friday so far with my bargains. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to a lovely lady who goes by the name Xanthe Audeburgh who has been feeding my hair habit! not only does she give me great tip offs as to where to get great hair, she's a fellow blogger and also has a great store that sells perfectly proportioned shapes (CS Shapes) so have a sneaky look at her blog. So it's safe to say I love this hair which is an opening gift at Holic.

I do have to say a few quick words about the skin. For some reason I've never had an addiction to skin in quite the same way that I have for hair & shoes, but recently that has changed somewhat. I love the skins at Shine and previously blogged the mix & match skin & shape gift (which is still available). They are so pretty & exoctic looking, which is quite a contrast to my usual tone so I love it. There is a MM board & luckychair instore if you want to sample them for yourself, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I adore this new dress from Vero Modero, which comes in many colours.Well that's no problem for me to match up some footwear, because I have my beloved shoes from Skifija with the colour change script , so it's easy to find a colour to match! all I need now is someone to invite me out for a dance so that I can shimmy & sparkle the night away!

I've certainly discovered a few new favourite designers to add to my list. I've bought a few things i've liked along the way , oh er and bought a few that I didn't really intend to also, so do have your wits about you when clicking on those hunt items that are displayed on the vendors, and happy shopping!

Look of the Day: Shiva

My inventory is out of control at the moment and haven't had much time to organize. I found an unopened package from Rotten Toe and nearly fell-over when I tried-on its contents. Surprise! This is !RT's Tudors Dress, won from a lucky chair months ago, unearthed once again. Don't you love that? It's like finding a large sum of Lindens deep inside last season's coat pocket when you're nearly broke. The skirt is sculpted and the main texture is luxurious velvet with gold lace trim. The boots are an old hunt item from Demotik - another goodie that got buried and recently unearthed. Notice the heels with skulls placed in a curved ebony bone base.

This one shows the boots a little better
