Getting my Chinese On (or Something Like It…)

I haven’t been the best at keeping up to date with things lately, but since BabyDoll LaFontaine so graciously sent me her newest release I figured I’d step back into my blogging shoes and do a little write up. The Cherry Blossom dress comes in 5 colors: Black (worn), Pink, Purple, Red and Blue – which is currently the free color in her store, BabyDoll’s. I’m pretty sure that you’ll want to pick that up while you still can. Each dress comes with the top and bottom pieces on multiple layers, plus the long system skirt and a short prim skirt.

Currently everything at the mainstore is on sale at 50% off until August 31, 2009 so each color of the dress is selling for the great bargain price of L$ 1oo! The thing I liked best about this dress, besides the price tag of course, is the sexy high slit on the thigh, which works with both the short and long skirt options. It shows off what you’re working with, without it going over the top, something most of us really appreciate!

It’s My Rezday!

Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while, but since today is my 3 year Rezday, I figured I make a short post.

Over the past three years, I’ve experienced many sides of Second Life – the good, the bad, and the ugly. There’s plenty of each, which is probably why this game is increasingly popular. I’ve had my good and bad times, but the reason I’m still alive and kicking is because of those special people who make it worthwhile. I’m sure that sounds cliché to many of you, but it’s the truth! Some of the best people I know, I met in Second Life. Thank you my friends! I truly have a place in my heart for each of you!

A little known fact, I started blogging about a month after I rezzed, so the blog (if you check out the previous location) is nearly three years old as well! Hopefully I’ll remember that date when it pops up and get a blog in then as well.

And, in case you’re wondering…

What’s Up With Kalia?

I have maybe 3 consistent readers of my blog, but I thought that they might be interested to know (and maybe someone else out there in the blog-o-sphere) that I am not shutting down my blog! I will be blogging again, but right now my real life job is keeping me very busy, the beautiful weather, as well as my in-world work and trying to get some amount of sleep. I am going to try to make an effort to post once every couple of weeks but I can’t guarantee any amount of regularity.

If you send me review items, please be aware that they might not get blogged, especially if it’s something time sensitive.

Thanks to every one who does read my little piece of fashion commentary, I think from now on I’ll be taking a new direction with this blog. Cheers!

E! – Eclectic Apparel and Accessories

Yesterday I was in a comfy and casual mood, and today I was lucky enough to receive some items that totally fit the bill! E! – Eclectic Apparel and Accessories by Eclectic Wingtips just started selling clothes a few months ago but if these items are any indication, then I suspect there will be no problem with having a successful and longstanding business.

The first outfit I’m wearing features the Boat Neck Top in Sienna with the ribbon detail, it also comes with a second version without the ribbon and two buttons near the collar. The tops are only L$50 for the set of two or you can pick up the fat pack of 11 colours  for  L$ 400. I paired it with the Wide Leg Shorts which I am wearing with the prims, but there is also an alternative short to be worn without prims if you so choose.  The shorts are an easy to afford L$ 50. I think these may just be my new favorite shorts…I love the fabric, the style and the way it only took 15 seconds to fit. The top has a vintage feel to it, and with 11 colors to choose from, well I’m sure there is one that you’ll like.

The second outfit here is showing off the Argyle Vest in Pink. Pink is my favorite color  (right after black)! It comes with the shirt and with a shirtless version. Each of these packs are L$ 60, with the fatpack of 8 colors for L$ 400. I’m also wearing the Angels Capri’s in Blue which have the cute buttons on the waist band – I suspect someone likes buttons! The capri pants are available in 7 colors for L$ 40 or also in the fatpack for L$ 250. After doing this shoot, I was stuck in the vest and Wide Leg Shorts from above, I admit it…and that will probably be the go-to outfit for…well at least today.

An interesting note about the store, all of the items come on multiple layers (in most cases all of them) and you have the option to buy either copyable versions or transferable versions depending on your needs. I wish more shops would do this!

Relaxing Over at Timeless

You might have noticed that for a bit my posts were coming in fast(er) and furious(er) than normal. After that I took a wee blogging break from Timeless Agency but today I am back with an outfit that is comfortable and perfect for whatever lazy things I get into.  Check out the post over here to see what I’m blabbing about and for the info on what I’m wearing!

Latest Offerings at She’s So Unusual Shoes

Happy April first everyone! Back in the blogging saddle here with the lastest releases from a long-standing store, She’s So Unusual Shoes, by Rowan Carroll. The first ones I’m showcasing here are called Peeptoe Organic Wedges and are shown in the eggplant color. There are nine other colors available as well in the store, with each pair costing L$ 95. I love the pattern on the heel, it certainly does have an organic feel to it. I also want to note that these shoes are transfer/no copy/no mod.

The second pair is called Maryjane Bow Platforms and are shown in lime. Once again, there are nine other colors you can chose from in store and they each cost L$ 95. I don’t think it shows up in the picture because of it’s size, but the material of the shoe has a light slighty abstract print to it. Permissions for these are also transfer/no copy/no mod.

This last pair won’t cost you anything! The Retro Dot Pumps, shown in pink, are special for the Lucky Chair. There are also orange, green and purple versions that you can win. Permissions for these are copy/no mod/no transfer. Free is also a great price so grab some friends and head over to score yourself a pair.
