Friday, I'm in love.

I know, I know, it's Fifty Lindens Friday and I'm not even talking about it!? What's happening? Well I was just too busy shopping for a coat. And finding one that won't mess with your boobs, hips, butt, AO and that also looks good is something very rare. Fortunately, there is Aoharu and once again, the new Mini Lenght Trench Coat reaches all my expectations. And the textures / colors are gorgeous! I got myself the Ivory (which is closer to camel, in my opinion) one and I had to stop myself from getting the fatpack.

I very rarely purchase fatpacks because I'm trying to convince myself I don't need the same item in 8 or 12 colors. The amount of money I saved this past 2 years by doing so is simply astonishing... but this coat almost got me.

Instead, I also spoiled myself with the Feminine Fut Tippet Coat in brown, also from Aoharu.

While I was there, I grabbed the Dungaree shirt Special Edition in red. It's only 50$L and every penny goes directly to Japan. Honestly, red is not my color but for such low price and good cause, I had to get it. Available at Aoharu Mainstore only.

A sad Fifty Lindens Friday.

A very, very sad Friday. Waking up on the news of the japanese earthquake and footage of the devastating tsunami in Sendai, knowing 300 people are reported dead so far in that city only, is beyond horrible.

My heart goes out to all fellows SLers in Japan. <3

Is it Spring yet?

I don't know if I'm the only one, but my RL influences how I dress in SL a lot. I dress more warmly during winter, and lightly during summer in general. But when I woke up this morning and I opened the curtains on (another) snowstorm, I lost it.

I needed to wear something that would remind me of spring, and luckily, you can find this adorable lavender Neo-Romantic blouse from Fishy Strawberry at The Dressing Room for a ridiculous price. I paired it with G-Field's Flower Pumps "Eve" in Violet Mist for a perfect color match... and felt instantly better!

And to make me feel even more better, Belleza released this spring-ish purple skin just two days ago for group members. If you register now, you can get it in store (gift box for members, at the entrance) along with 3 other skins.

Belleza group have a registration fee of L$250 but believe me, it's worth every penny. I'm entirely against registration fees in general, but Belleza offers at least 1 skin (in every shade) per month, every month, usually from their upcoming collection. So you get to see the new releases before everyone else, and their skins are of the nicest ones in SL (mostly male ones!). Assuming the average price for such nice skin in SL is $L1000, you get $L12,000+ worth of stuff in a single year.

That's what I call a good deal. Visit Belleza in world for more information or to register (you can also easily find Belleza group in Search).
