Seriously are you not excited!?!??! I can’t wait to run over and pick up some of those cute hats and scrumptious gowns and to-die-for dresses and, and, and… oh boy my wallet is going to be smoking after that sale!!

Early this morning, AvaGardner Kungler (owner of Kunglers) gave me the newest that she will be putting out in her store sometime today.  Kunglers is quickly becoming my favorite place.  She and Barbara seem to watch the fashion trends.  It very apparent with these two releases.  I love love the high waisted pants, mini jackets, and babydoll dresses.

I have to admit, I fell in love with “Estella”.  The highwaisted pant with cuffs to the ruffled collar … and … the pearls without the mini jacket.  Completely me.  (Sorry I feel like I’m cheating on my jeans and tees collection in this outfit.)  :)

“Pecatto” is just so sweet and innocent. Its all things yummy rolled into a babydoll dress.  The bold jewel red tone to the sassy sequin hem – totally cute! The thigh high tights give it that adorable quality that begs to be pairs with a laced shoe.

Niennra Kitsune of Magika dropped on me earlier this week these new shirts.  The strappy tee comes in black, pink, blue and red.  The double sweater is designed in a monochrome color palette.  My favorite element is the untucked look – so cute for casual or daring for a more “formal” look.  Niennra did these shirt all in a jacket layer which could be so cute over a biniki or pair with jean skirts or dressed up with a classic trouser.  Completely not hard to find something that will blend well with a wide array of clothing or colors.

Oh this is squeelie goodness for me.  The muted neutral tones, the mix match patterns all with a hint of gold and a splash of bold color.  *swoons*

When I saw the new Kyoot Army release, I ran instantly over.  I so knew the Armidi shoes in my “closet” would work … but needed a cute clutch in the shade off coloring though.  =DeLa*= filled that void. The unique shiny crocodile texture seems to just work with the gold giraffe bangle.

Okay now its time to hit a few more shops I’ve seen new yumminess at … and you will be seeing some more fun funky mashups.  I guess its my mood lately … ah my creativity is back. Dam I love this feeling.

Mavis McGettigan of Skin Flicks was very generous when she shared with me her latest designs.  I browsed her store and quickly I found favorites and must-haves.  Skin Flicks is packed with skins (of course) but also a full line of manicures and pedicures … and a ton of great clothing as well as a bridal boutique.  (Hey guys, Mavis even has clothing and a few skins for you!)

I have to give it Mavis, her designs are truly flattering and flirty but yet still sexy.  Her Bakini bottom *actually* covers the bottom … go figure!  Gotta love a designer that understands the balance of coverage and sex appeal.

Ever have a gown or an outfit or really whatever that you can remember buying? I do. It was a Nicky Ree gown.  I drooled for days over it. I would visit the store often. Then I did it … I bought it!

This is how I feel about these gowns.  When Nicky gave me the chance to review her gowns I wanted to take time to browse the endless racks and colors choices.  (Of course, trying not to get black!)  Thinking of summer (at least it is for me in the nothern hemisphere) I choose pale color palettes.

Both these gowns are apart of her newest batch of releases.  Each being able to mix and match (you know me, I love versitility!).  Long trains for brides to slim skirts for dancing the night away.  Nicky has always packed her gowns with a ton of skirt and bodice options … and … gives the option to buy different pieces all packed as a complete gown.  So If you’re not looking for that super long train, there is a pack for you!

SySy Chapman of SySy’s Designs shared with me her latest designs. One of which was just released, The Vert Flower dress (first one photo’d).  Sysy’s Designs is housed on its own sim that highlights her beautiful designs in a casual beach-like theme.  Browsing the store, I found so many great items for casual and a formal looks. These dresses are perfect for any event or occassion. SySy will be on my ”shopping list” when I head out again looking for mashups and gowns.  Check out the following designs the next time you visit SySy’s Designs:

oooh Skin Flicks (and its not what you are thinking…)! Skin Flicks is a store I found several months ago when I was out and about on some crazy shopping spree.   The owner, Mavis McGettigan, gave me the opportunity to review several of her pieces and skins.

In this pic, I choose to show off a beautiful linen ensem called Paige.  I went for linen - black crop pants and a blue jacket.  These pieces have to be the best linen I’ve seen in SL.  The pant leg prims sway when moving.  The jacket has sculpted sleeves, collar and belt.  I love the simple yet classic look of linen … Mavis really did this right!

Mavis even allowed me to choose a few skins.  One I wore in the prior post. And then this one that is pictured below.  I couldn’t decide between the two. Both have the qualities I love – pink lip and bold eye liner.  The lips are perfectly pink giving that pouty kissable look.

I have a few more goodies from Skin Flicks to show off … so stay tuned as I will be reviewing those in the near future. Meanwhile, get over to her store!

I met Indyra Seigo, owner of Indyra Originals, when I wrote the fashion column for Pixel Pulse Magazine (whatever happened to that magazine?!). Today she dropped on me one of her latest releases, Mystere.

Mystere is apart of her beautiful couture collection. I can see why. This stunning gown emphasizes all things feminine.  The silhouette is remarkable with the boa skirt, that flows incredibly well, and the strapless bodice.  The contrasting sash across the midsection accentuates the curves allowing one’s eye to smoothly glide down the length.  Indyra really took the time to make sure her textures are rich and bold for this design.

I can’t wait to see what else will appear in her couture collection!

My eyes nearly popped when I saw that little blue menu appear to accept inventory from LeeZu Baxter of Leezu Baxter Designs.  It was euphoric. LBD is among that group of design houses that I completely adore.  I can walk that store over and over unsure what to choose … just wanting it all. (Ok I have most of it but that’s besides the point.)

This newly released collection called NOIR really screams me.  SinSin, like the rest of the collection, are all black, feminine, yummy with a sexy flair.  Detailing on this design is refreshing.  Very simple rouching type of effect. The front is just as attractive as the back.  The super plunging back is sexy as it begs for the exposed skin to be caressed.

Like any other LBD fan, I’m in her group (LeeZu Baxter Designs) and received the group invite today’s fashion show.  I sat there with my other NOIR piece (Miriam) and drooled over the items that strutted down the catwalk.  Self control was very apparent – not to but it all on the spot!!
