Hi! I know my blog continues to be quite still at the moment, but I do carve out the odd hour now and again to play dress up. Hopefully I’ll have more time as the summer rolls in…

At any rate, I chose my outfit based on a color I actually used to steer clear of. Now I find I am grabbing as much green as I can both in SL and offline. This dress is from Nicky Ree - the “Satin Shine Cocktail Dress” - with both a floral and a solid skirt. I collected basically all the colors of the Spring Romance dress, so this was an easy choice for me as it’s the same “cut” with fantastic texturing.

My hair is by my all time favorite Elika T, who (as everyone knows) released two new styles today to much rejoicing. I’m wearing both “Hayden” and “Celia.”

The round-toe pumps are new today from ETD as well. Beyond just being pretty, well-crafted and named after someone I adore, I’ll point out that everything Elika puts up for sale is totally affordable for everyone.

Lady Darcy tuxedo sets - or as Nicky Ree said, “the penguins have arrived!” I truly appreciate a tailored ladies tuxedo - and the best way to do that in our virtual world is yes, with a system skirt. But if you prefer to go without the tails, there are plenty options to do so with the cropped jacket or vest options.

Each color set (available in black/white, red, purple, black and blue) comes with slightly different options in shirts, undershirts and jacket layers - and as always, glorious textures, layers and various opportunities for mixing. Each is priced incredibly reasonably at $350L.
