This last week I slacked on so much online, from the blog to SL period, all because someone had the week off from work. Now that Sands is back at work, I should have more time to stay caught up again! Before his vacation, I had spent some time wandering the accessory fair and oh my goodness, my accessory folder is so much happier than it was before! I love all the pieces I found and included a couple here in this look. The dress is from Glam Affair and, while I don't often have occasion to dress up like this much, I had to have it. Oh, and look, a prim skirt that my hippy self could get into. Its gonna be a great weekend!

See, my av was good this winter, still fits in her bikinis! Now the hard part? Choosing one! The designer over at EmJay makes this even harder by having a huge selection of bikini's, one to fit almost every taste you could possibly have! Different patterns, color palates and each one fabulous! These are just two of my favorites, looking forward to hitting the beaches this summer, now if only the rain would go away.

I spent a bit of time wandering the accessory fair this last week and found some awesome pieces! Included is a ring from SyDS, I got a ton of them (I couldn't resist the fatpacks I tell you!) and a necklace by Cailyns. These are just a couple of the pieces I found. Remember not that long ago I mentioned being accessory deprived? Aha, fixed that problem all on one sim! I do love these fairs...

Style Card ~ 3-10-10

I've been struggling with a lot of prim, sculpted skirts, lately and have ended up with a folder called 'sculpted for small shapes' folder in my skirts! Just in case I make a shape it will fit, of course, because I hate wasting my lindens on items I will never use. Especially when they looked so darn good in their ad. Which brings up another struggle, ads being so worked up you are unable to tell what you are really buying anymore. I will be featuring more designers that have their ads true to their work here this week, so keep an eye out for them. What you see is what you get is fabulous to me! Here is an example of a sculpted skirt that works, and I didn't have to mod my shape one bit. Thank you Lark!

Grand Illusion...
...behind the mask!

Grand Illusion, to me, is a great many things. A place to share my adventures within the grandest illusion I know, Second Life. Exploration, friends and loved ones and best of all, fashion and the addiction that is, shopping! I often spend most of my time in SL working these days, but I still find time for the fashion, for decorating and landscaping and the pure obsessive nature of it all.
