French influence

So, I did what I normally do when my sisters are busy and I’m bored off my gourd… SHOPPING! FTW. I actually came across TWO, count them TWWOOO outfits that I want to blog, but for the moment I’m only gonna talk about this latest one. I’ll get to the other in time. Yes. I’m teasing you. Teasing you like a hooker on a shady corner with her doctors certificate of STD Freeness. *coughs*

And back to our regular programming – I went to Redgrave. HOLY SHIT ROSE WENT TO REDGRAVE?!  OMG! I know right?! So I went to Redgrave and found this shirt. It’s an epic shirt, though I was a tad disappointed that it wasn’t as advertised. It’s ONLY the shirt part, not the skirt part too. I didn’t see where to buy the skirt part shown in the pic but, we’ll get to that later I guess. The shirt – Is called, “Shirt with Foulards”. Now, for those of you wondering what the fuck a foulard is… it’s basically a silk or cotton material, usually however it’s referenced to neckerchiefs, neck ties, and the like but in this case, it’s the shirt ruffle on the front. Why didn’t they just call it a ruffle you ask? Well, because Foulard sounds much cooler and then I wouldn’t get to inform you of the coolness that is French words! the ruffle comes in two options, “wrinkled” or “sparkled”. Personally, I like the sparkled better. The wrinkled for some reason doesn’t look like it goes with the shirt texture at all. The price for the top was pretty good for the quality. I am happy with the purchase overall.  That being said, could someone tell me how to turn off the newbie bling on the stone in the center?! I HATE BLING!!

I’ve paired the top with a pair of CoCo’s Slim Fit pants in silver. I love these pants. They’re offered in a multitude of colors and look really cute with most anything, especially a pair of baxies, which is what I’m wearing in the pics as well :) Bax boots, go with EVERYTHING. Don’t argue, you know they do.

And with that, I’m out. Peace love n chicken grease!

Recovering what’s lost…

Saturday my hard drive crashed. I lost everything. It was a nightmare. I’m still recovering data lost. Family photos, SL Photos, you name it –all gone. These things we take for granted. Now that the life’s lesson is out there. Back up your shit. Seriously folks. Back up that which is important to you. Get a memory stick for family photos, since it’s all digital now. And Just store them on it as well as your computer. That way, when your computer decides to take a dump on itself, you don’t lose your cherished memories. I’ll never recover that picture of Kilo, Suite, and I standing naked in the middle of a club in nothing but bunny ears…wait, maybe that wasn’t a photo, maybe that was one of my nightmares… Anyway, speaking of things of nightmares – I lost my copy of Photoshop. Which is where this long winded rant comes to a point. You see, without Photoshop I can’t edit my photos so, you’re stuck with some janky in world photos of the items I’m going to talk about. For this, I am sorry, because there are some really great details on the items for today’s installment of “Would Rose just STFU and show us the goods already?!” FINE BE THAT WAY :P tryin’ to tell you all a story and this is the treatment I get?! *sniffles*….

Okay so:  Today we have a special necklace from Skream!, An Evies Closet gown, Some Baxies, Earrings from Dahlinks, and a top hat from UK Couture. Yeah, I’m sharing where I bought the hat *sighs* I love muh hat! Anyway, I was really looking for a bridal gown and of course had to give it my own funky twist because, who wants just a plain white dress?! Although, the Evies Closet Aventine gown is unique in its own right anyway. The collar, the veil, the skirt with it’s bustle, the whole ensemble is just fantastic! I’ve shopped at Evies for a very long time. I found the store when I first started in SL and have been in love with her creations since. 

Which brings me to the jewelry. The necklace was a special blogger necklace sent out for us blogger types but I’m sure it’s available for sale as it’s fabulously done. Simple in it’s overall design but, unique as well. I love the way it lays across my chest. It’s different. And the black pearls give it a unique blend of funky elegance from Skream! :) The Celtic Hoop Earrings from Dahlinks are a near staple in my wardrobe lately. I just love these earrings. The details in the hoops themselves are phenomenal, and the color change/resize scripts make it so easy to have them in copper, bronze, steal, silver, or gold! It doesn’t get much better!

Combined it all with my Bax boots of course, you can’t see too much of them peaking out from below the folds of fabric but, they’re down there. My white baxies How I love thee…

And naturally, my hat. I love my hat. Absolutely LOOOOOVE my hat! It’s from UK Couture and IS a staple in my wardrobe. You will not see Roselynn Darkstone on the grid without this hat or her bracers. If you do, question if she’s really her.

Also Worn:

Skin: Frick! Fisticuffs skin in cream injured.

Bracers: They’re Mien. No really, I’m not telling where I obtained these. :P

Lip Piercing: Skream!

Eyes: PC Eyes but I’m not tellin’ which :P

Rose goes to Gor – Say what?!

    Now I know what you’re thinking. Likely what my mother used to say to me… “Jesus Christ, what were you thinking!?”. Well, Suite and I wanted to go shopping, and I was totally trying for something off the main stream grid. Tired of wearing what everyone else is sporting… So we bounced from new store to new store until we landed at Gor Gurls Mainstore. Let me tell you this store is NOT what you think. The designs are wonderfully original. Some pirate theme garb, some casual garb, some definitely Gorean garb, but all in all, inexpensive reasonably priced clothing that ANYONE, not just Goreans can wear!! Suite and I were VERY impressed. There was so much that we wanted to buy, I’m likely going to eventually. So now that I’ve gone on and on about the store, let me tell you about the outfit I finally settled upon…

First of all, I’m writing this half awake, I didn’t get much sleep last night thanks to some birds waking me up before dawn mimicking someone’s alarm clock, or maybe that actually was the alarm clock, I’m not entirely sure…

Anyway, This outfit is called “Gor Gets Checked:Tan” I’ve paired the dress with a pair of J’s Goth Lace up boots in brown and that cute little bandana? That comes with the dress! There are Two top versions, with or without undershirt. The only thing I will tell you is be prepared for no glitch pants, or underwear. But it’s okay, you can’t tell there’s nothing on underneath, except when you’re dancing  and…well..yeah.. then the whole world see’s your yahyah… nobody wants that… So I’ve stuck on my blacklace panties underneath. Any pair will do, you can’t see it anyway.

Also worn:

Skream! lip piercing: all of their piercings are fabulous I’m not revealing which is mine :P

Hair: Deviant Kitties - Uruha

Eyes, Skin, Hat, and Bracers are all mine. I no tells. It’s muh signature look  :P
