This is my attempt to blog about the new stuff at R.icielli that came out…oh, over a week ago. Mostly, I love the new items. Especially, these military jackets and the new belts. Not to say the rest of what came out isn’t great as well–but these two items really stood out to me. What can I say, I love jackets and belts. Normally, I’m not a fan of any shade of yellow, but this mustard, umm…wow? It’s pretty damn amazing.

I won’t lie. It took me three days to put together an outfit. Three days. Mostly because I feel that throwing a jacket or blazer over something simple is much more effective than going all out. The jacket tends to speak for itself, why overwhelm it? Also, the belt…yeah, it probably would have fit better inside rather than out, but I like modding things to hell and back, so in the end, it was worth it. Even if my eyes are red and burning right this second…

Before I give you the specs, I must command thee to go grab this stumblebum hair from lamb! She put her Say and Breeze styles out in a special blonde shade. Possibly, my favorite blonde ever. Literally. Item’s gone on the 2nd, so move it!

This is a short post. Not much to say except that once again, go to the Tableau Summer Sunrise Festival while you can. Ok? ok. Now I have to scramble off to work.

Finally put together an outfit from the Tableau Summer Sunrise Festival. Still have another one I wanted to put together too. It’s amazing, so I suggest you swing on over and check it out!–So much good stuff, especially from Sand Shack Surf Co and Fashionably Dead.

Well, it took a while, but in rl I fell into the gladiator sandal fad. My thing is the ones with the fabric ankles instead of the straps. So when I saw these sandals at Atelier AM, I almost died. I was looking on sl for something like them for a few weeks. How could I have missed these? I’ve only been there three, four times the past month. Oh, right they’re on the bottom floor I never knew they had….

Not much more to say tonight. Disappointing, isn’t it?

First of all, I’d like to thank the academy. Yes, I’m full of shit. But seriously, I’d like to thank all of you. I got 170 hits yesterday on my blog. To me, that’s pretty astounding since the highest I’ve ever seen before has been around 60. So thanks! I even got dropped a few items last night. Which is always awesome. One of these said items was a nifty pack of flip flops with sculpted feet and color changing ankle bands.

The shoes are from Stash and come in a very wide range of colors. I’m assuming there’s 19 colors since there were 19 in the blogger pack. I’m not very good at counting and simple arithmetic after two years of calculus, bear with me. The ankle straps and strings are both color changeable using the hud, and one other thing I love about the hud….you can add freckles to your feet. That’s right….freckles. Ingenious, I tell you. I do have one complaint about the feet sculpts. They make me feel a bit flat/wide footed. However, the shoe sculpt is fantastically detailed and the bottoms even have the appearance of those squiggly groves found on most flip flops!–So I’m sure I’ll get over it. Visit Stash to check them out.

On another note. Mustache is open again and has hair once more! I’m hearing hallelujah bells. I had meant to get this hair when it first came out, but hesitated. Now that I have it, I can finally stop fretting. All is good with my sl world once more.

Yes, I’m out of the plastik skin I’ve been wearing–for now. I know I’ll slip back into it. It’s calling me as we speak. But, I do like this skin I got from L.Fauna. I never fell into the craze when these skins first came out. They were beautiful, but too soft compared to the curio skins I’ve always worn and adored. However, I bought one the other week and liked it so much that when L.Fauna had her anniversary sale last week, I had to go back and get another. One thing I love about these skins…the lipstick is tintable. Talk about versatility, right?

So the outfit is a bit…what’s the word? Oh, black. Yeah. I’m morose morbid this week. With everything I’m going through in rl lately, I’m starting to get the feeling that death is peaking around every corner just waiting for the inevitable. Is it better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all–and then just die? Good question. I’ll have to ponder. For some reason the wry smile on my avi just makes this all so much more amusing.

Finally got around to going to the sale at Fri.day. Worth the lag to get in there and grab a few things. There’s even new hair on sale, and it’s fantastic. Don’t you agree? I always go for the banged version, but there’s also one without. With the sale, you can buy the fatpack and not feel guilty!! And pick up some tees…and jackets…and jeans.

Oh and have you seen these new heels? That’s right…these heels. The new ones from Maitreya Gold. I’m dying. I want them in every color. The ankle piece is color changing, with plenty of options! They’re simple, elegant, and so damn easy to wear.

Still wondering why I have 32k in my inventory Atom? Lol. Tonight my friend Atomic made me pull out the calculator and actually try to figure out how many items on average I’ve bought each day I’ve been on sl. We’ve figured it’s somewhere between six and nine. I think I need to replace this addiction with something more constructive like alcohol. Though honestly…alcohol is more expensive. And I love my liver….it’s been very good to me.

I added shadows to my picture this time. Isn’t that exciting? I think so! When I feel like crap, little things like this make me happy. Little things like shadows and correct grammar and certain shades of pink and hair–like this hair…which is on sale. Sales make me happy, too. This hair is on sale at Posh. Actually the entire second floor of hair is on sale. I think it was 150L or 175L for the fat pack! Can you believe it? She also made over I’m a Hipster and has that for sale on the second floor. Which if you haven’t seen, you should head over and check it out. It’s awesome.

There’s also a sale at fri.day right now, which is where I’m headed. And then to the Black & Blue fair which is an informative fashion fair aimed at promoting awareness for mental illnesses. After completing a semester in psych and reflecting a lot on my own personal problems, I happen to think everyone should be more educated and open-minded about the battles people with mental health problems struggle with and are constantly aiming to overcome. Anyways, I’ll put a halt to the pseudo-lecturing and post the specs…

One final down…well, I only had to take one of my finals this semester. It pays to work your ass off and get the highest grade in the class–take it from me, kids! Wow…condescending much? Feel free to slap me at any time. But the past few days, I have been in study mode. Hence, this baby. This jacket will pretty much always bring out the nerd in me, no matter how I dress it up or down. The only thing is…I don’t really like the collar. Sue me. Throw on a scarf instead (this one free at Mr. Poet), and voila.

Of course, I pulled out some glasses. If you’re a self-proclaimed nerd you have to have glasses, right? College glasses from Fishy Strawberry–not only is the name perfect, they look pretty perfect too.

Now..is that all I wanted to say? Don’t remember. Now I do. Don’t you just love stream of consciousness? Anyways…I including a close up of the lip piercing I had in the last outfit since I forgot to include it then. It’s definitely my new favorite.

I just wrapped up a 36 hour work weekend–three 12 hour days–wrapping up a week in which I broke up with my sl partner after 6 months. Oh and guess who came knocking this morning? Not the ex. Needless to say, I’d like to kick the shit out of something right about now. Instead, I shopped and just dressed like someone who just got finished kicking the shit out of something.

Did you know that Action has new, well new-ish, clothes? I didn’t. Despite their participation in things like Super Bargain Saturday and Project Themeory, I never really made it into the store to look around. Finally, I got around to it, and I must say, I’m broke. Thanks Action! No, but seriously, if you haven’t, go there. Go there now. I command thee! The top I’m wearing? Action. If that isn’t reason enough, I don’t know what is.
