Heart Homes Grandma's Vintage Dining Room & OXI from FAD

Aphrodite at Heart Homes has created the most charming vintage dining room and vintage "gas" oven that as always is so much fun to play with.  The set comes with an oven, table and chairs that rezz as one then can be easily moved and rearranged to fit your space. Textures change in the shadow and many pose and food and cooking options are part of this package. Lace placemats, flowers and lemonade complete the  vintage feel.

The oven has many fun functions. With the touch of a button you can perform many functions such as starting to cook, cleaning up (I will leave that to Mr. X) and even a number of cute poses. The options are illustrated in the image below.

There is a menu of options for cooking and attachments that automatically rezz and vanish when you stand off the pose. You can also change poses  during cooking which makes this set great for role playing and just plain fun.



You can also cook many things in the oven-- you will hear them cook when the door is shut. There are poses that allow you to peek in the oven to make sure you don't burn anything!
When seated at the charming table with lace placemats, just click on the placemat for the food to appear.  The wood of the chairs and table as well as the pillows on the chairs can be changed to suit your decor by touching the shadows.  

As for the dress, it simply delightful to the eye and an exclusive at FAD  by OXI called Valerie Dress. It is a mesh dress with 5 sizes  and also comes with a color changing hud featuring 5 colors from soft green to  gold, brown, pink and peach.

Artizana and Tantalum @ The 24 2015

I told Mr. X that the long awaited popular 24 Event 2015 will be starting in a few days... Sept. 11 to be exact and I can't wait!  There are so many top designers participating and offering exclusive buys...like this gorgeous casually chic outfit by Artizana called Li.

A signature aspect of the Li Collection is that colors seem to take flight in the rich shades blues, pinks and greens of the colorful and lively texture of this long sweater coat that reminds me of stained glass. I have paired this with a diamond necklace in gold by Tantalum called Siren gold another exclusive at The 24.

Add tailored contrasting pants and a classic silk blouse and head for the city.  I feel like I am ready to tour a great museum and afterward dream away the hours in a small cafe indulging in scones and clotted creme while listening to jazz piano.  Mr. X thinks this is a great plan...so do I !

Mr. X and Edith - Wicca's Wardrobe at Fad through Sept. 26

It is so much fun to shop at FAD -- especially if you like vintage styles. The designers participating have interpreted a wide range of styles from the 30s - the 50s... and oh what fun it is to style them... I fell in love with the new outfit by Wicca's Wardrobe that consists of the Edith Dress, Emilia Hat and Chayeene heels.


I love the layers of this skirt with it's sexy slip like layers and the gorgeous zipper up the front that is set off by the wide belt at the waist.  In the 40's ( like today) women liked to accentuate their tiny waists and used wide belts to do it. Shorter skits were all the rage in the 40's and legs were in... think Betty Grable! Edith sets the tone perfectly.


A proper vintage look always has a hat!  The Emilia Hat is a beautiful handcrafted original mesh piece made by Wicca's Wardrobe. It has an inbuilt RESIZER, which you can activate via touch and resize the hat making it easy to fit any hairstyle you may choose. The Chayenne heels are a matching pump with a high leather embellishment that is held together by two buckles.  These fab shows add a contemporary dash to the vintage look and are made for slink high feet.

So Mr. X... I am in the mood... to jitterbug in is this flirty dress... I will be waiting for you at the punch bowl... (as usual) and your glass is waiting for you and it's ooops--- getting warm.... just like you will be when you see the hot little me in this fabulous dress..... and the night, yes, looks at watch is young.....

Color me beautiful with Abundance with ghee and Mr. X

Ghee has just released two fabulous outfits the pre-fall event called Color Me Project.  The first outfit is simply called Ghee Abundance, Mr. X likes the sound of that. The other outfit not shown is a great fitted mesh coat in the same colors with magnificent applique work.


This is a stunning ensemble with a short sleeve crop top that is unusual and eye catching because this top is cleverly cropped at an angle. The top's colorful pattern is continued down the skirt adding the signature ghee flair that makes this design as eye catching as it is beautiful.

The long maxi skirt is evocative because it is worn low on the hip giving it plenty of sex appeal!  The shades that this outfit comes in are just delicious... aubergine, orchid and artichoke...

Stop the press - Sonatta Morales - Liebe -New Release

Mr. X has congratulated me on reaching over 100,000 blog hits... to my readers, I thank you.... so it seems only "fitting" that this blog features one of my all time favorite designers on the grid (yes, there are many... Violator, Eshi, October, Danielle, Wicca, Resun, Ghee, Fellini, Sascha, Muse, TWA, Jumo, Rayne  way to many to mention and they have been beyond supportive of me and many others too) --- but Sonatta Morales is the QUEEN of Vintage... and I love every single dress she creates.  I know for a fact, she takes a lot of time and research to create her fabulous dresses...


This dress is heavy silk with luxe beading and embroidery that way beyond  glamorous and dreamy and definitely after 5  --- Mr. X likes way beyond 5 and a few cocktails.... gin and tonic please with a twist..This dress by Sonatta is a perfect and iconic cocktail dress that has a sexy -- oh my god - look at me.... sheer slip and  gloves.......the gloves even have poses.... the dress is called Liebe.  Mr. X loved the slip layer.... he just want to.... ahhhhhh shhhhhhhh


Like  Sonatta  Morales, an Icon in SL's Fashion World... Liebe is sexy and  feminine and it was made to remind women that they were women after WWII.  After all, no matter what year.... as Sonatta has always  told me...  fashion -- great fashion is timeless. So, Mr. X... come upstairs................ and FYI never miss Sonatta's show at Berlin... it is amazing every Saturday at 2 sl time.

Mr X @ at a Sock Hop? Yes! at FAD

Everyone that really knows me.... knows I love --- vintage -- so I was delighted that  FAD chose "vintage" --- in general -- as their theme --- I suppose, it depends on what "era" you are from... but as Mr. X says... style is timeless.  And,  LM's exclusive for FAD called Vivianne is well... amazing! My sister Lulu knows this well.


 Wearing Viviane by LM, I can an almost hear  Elvis while dreaming about making out in the back seat of a  1954 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Starfire with leather seats and  white wheel tires.... oh la la... maybe Mr. X and I will rock around the clock..... to doo opp! After all,   Sock hops were held  as early as 1944 by the American Red Cross to raise funds for WWII.



OK , I like ... this slink Corvette.. like .... Viviane by LM that comes in   burgundy, old rose,  papaya, sorrel and  zinnwaldite.... all  are  fab and perfect  fun for a sock  hop --- and if  you  have  a love of  poodles... and  all things vintage... this flirty dress is a must have at FAD!

Provocative Pearl and Mr. X -- Lennie @ Sneak Peek

Stop... a moment of breathless silence flashes across the room.  Mr. X watches me saunter in. He looks me up and down, glancing around me, front and back, inspecting... finally, a brief smile with an appreciative nod.


"A chilled Ladoucette, please."  Mr. X is only to happy to oblige.  He tells me I look stunning in the new dress by Lennie called Deborah Provocative Pearls that is an exclusive at Sneak Peek.  The  bold geometric sequins with it's sensational pattern and the bold stripe down the middle gives this hip dress maximum impact.  Best of all you can change the color of the stripe and hemline with a handy hud that offers a palette of colors from creme to red, teal to black and orange. 


I paired Deborah Provocative Pearls with a new jewelry set by Glint called Centerstones.  This set comes with a necklace, earrings and two bracelets and is offered in many colors. I couldn't resist wearing the new skin by October 4 Seasons called Zulay Walnut with it's rich chocolate tones and dramatic eyeshadow and lipstick. This skin comes with 6 make-ups plus a natural look, a cleavage tattoo and all appliers
