November is coming to an end and winter is well on it’s way for those of you that are north of the equator. Yes I’m totally jealous of all of you Being a Floridian has its perks but the lack of snow can be disappointing. At least I can enjoy it in SL.

Happy Love Thursday everyone! I hope y’all have a great turkey day even if you’re not celebrating. <3

I didn’t know what to call this post so since Express has been mean to me all morning I think the title fits well!

I dunno how Machang Pichot does it, but she is on a roll with amazing jackets and they just keep getting better and better. The short riders jacket is one of her latest that has caught my eye.

Happy shopping everyone. <3

P.S. if you see Express Zenovka online today, make sure to yell at him for bothering me! Thank you! <3

After feeling pretty miserable for a couple of weeks, I’m feeling very light and pretty with the help of the talented Tuli Asturias and pixivor Allen.

The skin was a group gift from Tuli and the dress is by pixivor of AlaFolie.

Sasira is a new endeavor by talented designer Nevalyn Looming. She has started with a small selection of items but is working to expand quickly. The best thing about Sasira is that all of the items are hand-drawn. Here are just a few things I got a chance to take snaps of. The prices are fantastic! I hope you get the chance to go take a look yourself.

The skin I am wearing in the post is Dutch Touch’s new Jolie but in CafeNoir tone which will be released later this week. As of date this is Iki’s darkest tone and I can’t wait to see the rest of the makeups when it’s finally released.

I hope y’all are having a great weekend! Happy shopping! <3

I apologize about the non-fashion related post but this is for a very important cause and I wanted to make sure everyone had an opportunity to participate! Every 3 minutes a woman is diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the U.S. It is one of the top ten causes of death. All proceeds from the following event will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, so please take a moment to read and participate if you can. Thank you! <3

The BCA Art Auction and Exhibition will open on Friday, October 30, 2009.

MESSAGE TO ARTISTS: We are currently in the process of selecting art work for the auction and exhibition from both the SL BCA group as well as originals that have not yet been displayed on flickr. If you have a piece you’d like considered that is not posted in the flickr group please send it to Denise Rowlands inWorld for consideration.

Sorry for the short notice but we need the pics by this coming Wednesday, October 28th. All artists that wish to participate must be willing to have their work auctioned. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Art work should reflect a positive message such as hope, faith, love, courage and or strength without the actual words in the picture. The art alone should be capable of showing the sentiment. Pics should be full perm, square [aspect ratio 1:1], 1024×1024 jpeg. If you have any questions, feel free to IM Denise Rowlands.

Last year these wonderful organizers raised over $1500USD for BCA with their date auction, please help them again with their efforts! Thank you! <3

I normally don’t get the chance to run around on Fridays grabbing up all the delicious fifty linden fridays items, however today when I saw that Casa Del Shai had participated, I had to make time to do that.

Every Friday designers participate in a program in which they offer a unique item for only L$50. You can join the L$50 Fridays group inworld to be informed of who is participating each week. Here are a few of my favs from this week.
