Pretty Picture

Im in love with this One Shoulder Dress from COCO. I think the polkadot frillyness of the top is just amazing and sooo my style :) The Skin is from the Sofia Skin Line at Glam Affair (free in the Zombie Popcorn Hunt- which is now over sadly) I thought it gave this dress a more glam dramatic look! Hair is called Maria from Fri.day!

Also played a little bit with the lighting features in SL (On Margaux's recommendation) so I am hoping this turned out better then my previous post :)

[kusshon] Yoga/Meditation Mat (Giftie)

Hello all! I thought you might all like this latest gift @ [kusshon] which is a Yoga Mattress with the cutest little animations (depending if you fancy a little "Hawaiian" swivelling of the hips, or perhaps a little contemplative meditation). It is a simple mattress (only 1 prim) so you can park it in your home or garden & "hop" on for a little "alone in good company" solo relaxation while you chat to friends online. Super cute!

The Hair is only $30 @ [kik] and suited the Laq Julie skin perfectly. Shape is new (Bluebell) @ Curvy Silhouettes Shapes. A really adorable shape if you like to look pretty & flirty. She is a quite petite & perfectly curvaceous. Eyes are Mardis Gras which are free @ Shine. All the backdrop textures you see in the background are from lovely Khan Omizu @ Framelight [K.O] Texture House. Khan produces some of the best quality seamless textures you will find in SL and all at extremely modest prices! Some textures are only $25! Lots of gifts in store too!

There are 2 other animations in the yoga mat (all animated) which are also fun...including the "tree" stance & "Asanga" yoga stance.

That's it! Sorry it is such a quick postie. I am about to start the *Good S***t Hunt so hopefully bring you some more goodies soon. More info on the *GSH* here. *GSH* blog here.

More posts & fashion tips here.

Have fun!

Dress Me Up!

My First Blog Post :) Thanks Marg for letting me post here!

My first find for today is the new group gift dress at *Towa*! Its so very pretty and flowwy and the amazing neck piece is so adorable! Its all flexi and just great to dance in! It fit me really good which Im picky about cause I dont like when the pants layer sticks out of the back of the skirt and shows my butt! This dress is wide enough and flowwy enough to cover all underclothes! *Happy Dance*

Also found a really great hunt gift skin at CandyDoll as part of the Fashion is Love Hunt. Im loving these soft pink lips and pretty eyeliner and the skin tone is great too!! Also here is a close up of the neck piece from the dress. Very pretty and dainty :)

Enjoy! :) ❤•❤Teena

Ear Candy, 26/27 Jun, 60L sale

Maeve is bringing you two more lovely jewelry sets from Ear Candy for just 60L each this weekend. They are called "Just Breathe" and you can get them in gold or silver. They come with a necklace, earrings, and two different style bangles for each wrist. You get a necklace with three lovely strands of beads, two in solid gold and one strand with a darker whimsical pattern..the pattern is also followed in the large drop pendant at the end of the necklace. The has also used the same gorgeous pendant in the earrings. And I just love how they are large enough to see through my long hair!

The bangles for your right wrist use smaller versions of the pendant as one bracelet, then are combined with three solid gold metal bracelets attached with a band using the patterned design. The bangles for your left wrist combine two larger bracelets, one using the same patterned gold and one with a different pattern, also 5 different colored smaller bracelets and a chain bracelet that matches the chain hoops in the necklace.

These sets are beautiful to wear with almost any outfit, especially since you can get gold, silver, or both! Again great options for mixing and matching. I can tell you I will be turning heads at the bar tonight. I'll be fighting off the men and definitely having to tell them to "Just Breathe". *winks* Just look how these jewels set off the outfit I chose to wear tonight.

Don't you agree the men are in trouble? *grins* See you at Ear Candy this weekend!

Kayla

Kabuki Creations, 26/27 June, 60L sale

Naku is in a heart-felt mood this weekend, so head over to Kabuki Creations and pick up these two sweetheart poses for just 60L each. You can get this wonderful "Heart of Mine" pose that comes with the modifiable ottoman. This pose is great to snuggle up by the fire or place out on the deck as you gaze at the stars. Though I doubt your mind will really be on the stars *winks*, especially with your loved one touching you so sweetly. Relax against your lover's body, their warmth seeping into you as they caress you lovingly. Their hands are held directly over your heart like they are going protect it from anything and everything. Show your appreciation as you caress their thigh and arm, letting them know this is the only place you'd want to be. Revel in the fact that they can't take their eyes off of you as they hold you tighter against them.

Also pick up the adorable "You Hold My Heart" pose. Don't you just love it when a man is relaxed enough with you to put his head in your lap and stare into your eyes? Run your fingers through his thick silky hair as you gaze into his eyes and tell him how much he means to you. If you aren't good with words then just let your touch, your face, and the look in your eyes express all you are feeling. As he lays there looking at you, slide your eyes down the length of his body, letting them linger on the places that really turn you on so he can see the affect he has on you. *sighs softly* I bet it doesn't take him long before he pins you to the floor, or bed, or couch, and shows YOU just how much he appreciates being wanted by you.

Now don't both of those poses just grab your heart and make it melt? Yeah, me too. *smiles* Head over to Kabuki Creations this weekend and pick them both up.
Huggles,
Kayla

Having some issues...

For the moment, I can't log into my account. Catherine seems to be logged even if she is really not. So if you see me online... I'm not really there.

I found it bizzare and used my alt to check out what was going on. I was able to take a picture of Catherine and I... she's not doing anthing but standing there and blinking.

So here is the pic.... Hope this gets straightened out real soon.. I need to shop !! ;-)

Kabuki Creations, 19 & 20 Jun, 60L sale

Stop by Kabuki Creations this weekend and make it possible to get closer to the one you love. Naku has two great poses on sale for 60L each, first is called "Listening". How sweet is it for you each to lay with your head on the other's shoulder, your hand caressing their hair and neck as you gaze into each other's eyes and tell your deepest secrets? It's such a sweet and relaxing position, and after all, if you can't tell the one you love your biggest secrets, who can you tell?

The next pose to bring you closer to your loved one is "Why Love You So". Have your lover lay in your lap, feeling the warmth of your thighs as you caress their hair and chest, looking them straight in the eye as you tell them all the reasons you love them. And of course you can have them reciprocate when you are done making them feel like a king or queen. This is also an awesome pose just to comfort someone you think may need or want it. Imagine having a bad day and your lover or close friend pulling your head into their lap as they listen to everything you have to say. Who wouldn't love a friend like that?

As always, the poses are animated, you can show or hide the pose balls, sync movements, and are easily adjustable. Naku thinks of everything when he's making his awesome poses for you all! Head over to Kabuki Creations this weekend and pick up these two lovely poses.
Huggles,
Kayla

Ear Candy, 19 & 20 Jun, 60L sale

Congo anyone? Maeve and I say yes! For 60L this weekend you get a choice of silver or copper Congo inspired jewelry from Ear Candy. You will get a cool set of shades, a necklace, earrings, and two different bangles. The size and design of these pieces will put you in mind of the Congo...big, bold, and strong. I love the spiral affect she's created in the earrings, necklace and one of the bangles. It puts me in mind of the Kayan tribes women that used coils of copper to stretch their necks to make themselves less desirable to avoid becoming slaves. That's one of the theories anyway, now-a-days they would just take their machete's and chop off...uh, never mind. *laughs* The boldness of these pieces come from Maeve's creative use of the materials more than texturing.

The scalloped effect of the necklace is great, rustic but elegant at the same time. The bangles are larger and, as always, give you contrasting colors, shapes, and textures that compliment each other so well. The sunglasses are two toned, a great shape, and frame your eyes very well...and what self-respecting woman would go to the Congo with out a pair? You can buy a set to wear as one, or mix the pieces with your other favorite accessories. You can also buy both sets and mix them together, the black in each set makes them very interchangeable!

Just be careful when you are floating down the Congo River with this beautiful jewelry on, wouldn't want you to get mugged at spear point, or have a crock mistake the flash of your jewels for a tasty treat. *winks* Don't miss out on these inspiring sets, see you at Ear Candy.
Huggles,
Kayla

The cute bikini above is free @ PIG (lots of shades in the pack. Find bikini in cart outside shop). You will also find a guys shirt (also free). Bangles above are free @ COCO & CO.
