Look of the Day: Can't Speak French

Just a quick update inspired by this beautiful dress I bought today! I discovered a new store called ALB Dream Fashion and I have to say, for a designer that isn't big name just yet, the couture wear is immaculate! I'm wearing the Dior Impression Peach set. It's kind of an update on a Victorian gown with a sexy modern twist. And you know how much I love to play dress up. :)

Paper Couture recently released their long awaited Spring Collection! I know, I know, it's June and Spring is a thing of the distant past, but the line only came out a few weeks ago... and when your clothes are as fabulous as this, you're allowed to be fashionably late.

Now I'm a picky girl, so I only bought two dresses and various accessories. BUT! They are very eye-catching pieces that I'm proud to hang in my closet (...er...inventory?).

For the Spring collection, the Lu sisters were inspired by what else? Flowers! The dress I'm wearing above is called 'Belladonna' and is a sexy little mini dress with a dramatic flair. And the dress even looks sexy without the shoulder ruffle!

I love this dress! It has almost an asian flair with such a bright sunny color.


The second dress is called 'Wrapped Paper Roses' and reminded me of something Carrie Bradshaw would wear because of all the flower pins attached. Also when I saw it, I instantly remembered that I had matching shoes, which is always a determining factor when I buy outfits.


Most of the dresses are GORGEOUS! However, I think it's the new shoes that steal the show.



Beautiful! My only complaint on some of the shoes is I wish there wasn't SO much going on (some of the patterns clash a wee bit with the accessories). But really it's a matter of personal taste. All of these fashions are available exclusively through P.C.'s location in Tableau and SLX.

Curio Obscura takes the crown for 'Biggest Hair in Sl'


So in my previous post, I stated that I made a find at Hair Fair '09 that was truly amazing. In fact it was crazy/amazing, CRAMAZING if you will. And really, I have nothing more to say, I'll just let the picture talk.
The hair itself came from Curio Obscura's booth at Hair Fair, along with three other truly CRAMAZING hairstyles that I can only hope will be sold at the mainstore after HF, because I spent all my Linden on this masterpiece. So ladies, here are the details...

The hair itself is 450L, which is not bad given all the options it comes with. The hair is scripted and comes with a wide variety of hair colors, accessory colors, and styles it can be worn in. Along with the ACTUAL SPINNING PROPELLERS with SOUND! And a STAGE in the middle of the hair with TINY DANCING COUPLES! OMG! Really, if you're looking for a head turner, do you really need to ask for more?

Hair Fair 09 Freebies!


Hello! I know I haven't made a post since March, but due to the fact that I have lost my own laptop (which is a long story too infuriating to tell) I'm sharing one with my boyfriend and it makes blogging, net time, and SL in general hard. However! I come back with a vengeance! Though not too terribly vengeance-y.

I went to the Hair Fair last year and it was still new, so needless to say I wasn't all that excited. Well, that and the fact that I was playing my boy avvy on an event sim catering mostly to females. And this year it still did, BUT! I have my terribly beautiful Sylvie here. :)

Anyway, I was shocked at the number of freebies available there! Not only hair but actual outfits as well. However, I wasn't able to visit all the booths due to lag and inability to enter some of the regions at different times, so I went through my freebies and created a look from them.




I picked up the Hi-Top's from Truth's HF booth. They're really cute and exquisitely detailed. Sort of a spray painted, street look (which is also why I picked this New York back drop, the shoes inspired me :D). The outfit and hair came from Posh, whom I just heard of at the Hair Fair. They have some seriously cute emo inspired hair so they're worth a look.

I also found something AMAZING at the Hair Fair, but that merits it's own post. ;)
