Mr. X - Blanche & Belladonna - Wicca Merlin @ Spoonful of Sugar thru 09/25

Mr. X... come upstairs...  quietly... sshhhh no one will know, I promise...   Why... because I am gorgeous in  a gorgeous  two piece outfit available at Spoonful of Sugar that benefits Doctors without Borders by Wicca Merlin called Blanche and Belladonna.  This is something Rita (Hayworth) would wear.  She looked wonderful in it. So will you.  You will always look fabulous in an updated classic.  I am wearing the Abigail  Hat by Wicca Merlin -- I love its artful form and red flower... and the cool netting on my face.... Mr. X has to lift the netting to kiss me... and, I like that!

The pencil skirt has two patterns a  herringbone and stripes -- totally retro chic... in any life.  Check out the fabulous pattern repeated perfectly on the sleeves so wicked cool-- they mirror the skirt. This outfit is coupled with a sexy blouse with  a ruffled hemline and cut out back that makes it perfectly updated.  This one definitely belongs in your closet... and, best of all, $ goes to a great charity.

So Mr. X, the rum is iced... the samba beat is starting as the heat of the day...dissolves into the gentle breeze of the night ... can you smell the sweet scent of oleander and jasmine... and hear the reverberations of heat lightning... can you hear the seductive whispers in the dark... and see the candles fluttering......

Mr. X and One Little Light... Jumo's Exclusives

Dreaming of gliding on moonlight water... Mr. X always tells me he sees the soul of the sky in my eyes... he tells me I looks especially ravishing in this new gown  by Jumo that is an exclusive at  the One Little Light event to benefit homeless children.  This fabulous gown is called Salmon and it is a limited edition at this event and a real deal @ 399L.  This gown is beguiling with a sweeping skirt and two flowing side flexi prims making Salmon simply stunning. The gold lame bodice with it's elegant criss cross gold ribbons gives the bodice a bit of a Grecian look.

Chic and flattering with a bold floral pattern this long strapless gown makes a savvy fashion statement for any formal event.  The empire waist ensures a stunning silhouette  and  the sweeping skirt looks elegant and sophisticated.

Salmon comes with a matching "cleopatra" type pearl necklace in  gold with gorgeous matching drop pearl earrings.

Another exclusive by Jumo at There is Light is a marvelously sleek satin black gown called Doutzen. The elegance of a one shoulder evening gown combined with a feather puff on one shoulder will get you tons of compliments.   Mr. X loves the way this satin gown ripples and ruches and, of course the way it  shows off my figure.  The wow factor of this simple yet chic black gown is  sure to keep you in the spotlight all night long!

Like all of Jumo's gowns, Doutzen comes with a dazzling autumn leaf enameled brooch that cascades down the front of the gown giving it an effortless style that is chic and festive.

The brooch is complimented by drop enameled earrings with the same leaf pattern; they are so pretty for autumn as they are set with topaz, citrine and peridots.

The open back of this dress with its interesting cutouts is perfect for showing off your toned back and glowing soft skin.

Mr. X and Coco - Aleutia @ Spoonful of Sugar & Aphrodite @ Heart Homes @ Tres Chic

Who doesn't want a romantic autumn hideaway -- Mr. X and I do and this fabulous greenhouse like "autumn" hideaway is ideal and can be found at Tres Chic.  This comes with  ten animations and many props and is only 37 prims and this "Cozy Fall Shelter" is perfect.

I am wearing a great new outfit available at Spoonful of Sugar by Aleutia.  The top is called coco and the beat up leather pants are called Zeta. Aleutia's exclusives going either 100% or 50% to Doctors Without Borders. WOW is all I have to say.  This comes in so many colors... I am wearing ginger --   but also loved cinnamon -- and of course  loved it in autumn rose, oatmeal, boysenberry, blueberry, charcoal... you get the idea.  The amazing thing is that the  halter tank top has the same tones as the rips in the leather pants... oh so cool and oh so very clever.

Autumn getaway has a very cute interior with loads of props and tons of detail... plants, a chair for singles and couples with activities (drinking coffee, reading etc.), hanging lights a  foliage rug that acts like a reflecting pool... very very unusual and don't miss the detail of the pumpkins outside the getaway house.... there are sleeping squirrels... all cuddled up!

Mr. X and Spey @ Spoonful of Sugar - Sonatta Morales

Mr. X asked me to meet him in the Essex Public House established in 1784.  What kinda girl does he think I am to meet him in such a commonplace... a public house no less. God alone knows what kind of men lurk there... and makes me wonder why Mr. X has insisted.  I will fix him... I will meet him in a new  gown by Sonatta Morales that is available at the Spoonful of Sugar Event that runs through Sept. 25 and benefits Doctors without Borders, a worthy cause if there ever was one.

The new gown that is an exclusive at Spoonful of Sugar  is called Spey. It is a perfect example of a 1950s mermaid style gown with its long sleek silhouette to the knees that shows every curve perfectly before it flairs out with a fluted hemline at the bottom of the dress. I love the way it "fishtails" out and so does Mr. X... I got a whistle and a hug... as he whispered, "what is a girl like you doing in a place like this?"  Smiling I said, why, Mr. X.... I am meeting you!

This gown has been a staple for years for all formal occasions because of its flattering fit and glamorous look. It is in a rich plum color perfect for autumn and is embellished with sumptuous gold beading in a floral pattern down the front of the gown.

Mr. X and Sushi Monster Truck by Heart Homes @ Creative Collectors Box

Although food trucks seem to be a new trend in America, they actually date back to the late 17th century when an early  form of them could be found in many of the larger cities on the east coast. Since then, food trucks have taken a  front seat in the world of American street food and are front and center in the part of an ongoing food revolution.  With that in mind, Aphrodite at Heart Homes has created the must have Sushi Monster Food Truck.

It is great fun to watch or to play a master  sushi chef and to make all kinds of sushi.  The truck comes with tons of cooking animations for prep work, chopping, dicing, rolling and even serving !  You can do this work in sequences making the experience realistic and fun. There are 46 animations and 22 props to play with !

 You can also stand and eat all the sushi that you want by touching a sushi item that attaches and then disappears at ease!  You can feed as many friends as you like and even rezz picnic tables and festive lanterns!

Low in prims about 24 and cute on both sides, the Sushi Monster is not only great fun it is a must have!

Mr. X and Ivy - Posh Pixels, OTB and DS @ Swank

A new fun find at Swank is called Hang with the Big Dogs by Outside the Box, designed by Kasslina Moonglow.  This rustic bench can be used inside or out... it is perfect for a porch on a cabin or in the interior of a rustic log cabin.

 The chair has a wagon wheel back and a plaid cushion in a light antique  pine finish.  The bench  comes with two beautifully rendered dogs and a grey tabby cat, a bucket and a sign that says it all... "If you can't Hang with the big dogs, stay on the porch."

And I am also wearing a tank top and leather pants called Ivy by Posh Pixels.  The pants have fabulous details... two zippers and pockets and oh la la skin tight. The pants and tank top are made for classic (which I am wearing) plus slink and maitreya bodies.  Best of all choose from 40 leather shades... yes... 40!

I love the swirling details of the tank top with its spaghetti straps and relaxed fit that drapes elegantly just above the waist of the pants.  Best of all both the tank top and the leather pants comes with an amazing color changing hud in the latest fall colors that range from black into various shades of blue, browns, reds, violets... gold... white... actually 20 choices that compliment the slacks!

Magical Finds @ Swank... HJM

Mr. X and I were looking around this month's Swank and found so many fabulous things perfect to embellish our ever evolving landscape and our homes... yes homes... we have several.  There were so many things to choose from that I thought I would blog a round-up of some of our favorite just to give you an idea of the multitude of things to be found at Swank.  For example, the low prim bird bath by HJM Designs called Nature Birdbath is ideal for any outdoor setting. It comes with flowers, a friendly deer, flowers and grass, a cute little red snail and even a dragonfly that circles the bath. Best of all, of this it is only 8 prims. Touch to toggle sound on and off. The birdbath is mesh and copy.

For a magical mood,  Magic in the Woods also created  by HJM Designs fits the bill with a little elf that seems to have a glint of mischief in his eyes... he reminds me of Mr. X who always seems to have that same mischievous glint!  This comes with a cute little elf sitting on a stump,  two more tree stumps, a mushroom, squirrel, pine trees and grass. There is even sound that you can toggle on or off.  It is part mesh and copy. Amazingly, this build is only 8 prims.  And, no the cranky elf on the stump is not, I repeat not Mr. X!!!

Life's a Bench... TM and LoS BOS @ Swank

There is nothing more romantic than sitting with that someone special on a very special bench and  I found the perfect bench at Swank called Side by Side Rustic Bench with Rocks  by TM.  It   quickly became one of our favorites.  I also love the new outfit by LoS BOS called Torn Up Top and Overalls that is also an exclusive at Swank. It is available for classic and mesh bodies and has a color changing hud for the overalls and the  tank top !

This bench is perfect in almost any setting and comes loaded with couples and singles poses including 54 poses; 27 cuddle poses and 16 single animations, 8 sit for men and 8  sit for women.  It is also copy.

Oh and this new exclusive  by LoS BOS (Steele Sirnah)-- Overalls  and torn tank top is fabulous... it comes for mesh and classic avatars... I wear it both ways and best of all it comes with a color changing hud... it  is country girl meets city... grunge... but atm  I am wearing it  and  enjoying nature...

Two more swank finds are  Dulce Secrets Mesh and System Eyes that includes both system and mesh eyes and the rainbow necklace, earrings and bracelets that match with almost everything by HJ by Mystic Rainbow in Gold gold.

As the  last word,  did I mention the garden bench comes with a cat... I always tell secrets to my cat...I also  love the fact that is comes with daisy's and that I am able to sit  between two realistic looking boulders on a wooden plank. It is hard to believe that this is only 5 prims and is 100% mesh and that it comes with all those poses for singles and couples. And, all of you, please follow and like my rl cat blog  !! http://catadventuresandproducts.blogspot.com
