Oh hai!!!

Annah Whitfield here *waves*

I was thrilled when Luna asked me if I wanted to do some random guest posts in here! I am really excited, but I am totally scared, cause I am not the fashionista type!

As an introdution of myself I have to say that I am not a shopping addict, except when it comes to hair and shoes, and lately acessoires! I know nothing in SL, and most of the stores you go are totally unknown to me! I don’t follow the trends, so what’s old for you, may be my lastest discover! I don’t spend unreasonable ammounts of lindens in the most cool shops, as I prefer small cozy stores and small ammounts. I love to teleport from store to store, just to look at the shelves and think “hmm I wish I could have that” – it is kinda masochist, but that’s how I feed my desires!

About me and Luna, we are good friends, and I know her style, and how she uses the items on her closet, though everytime we hang out we are in lingerie (long story – don’t ask or she wouldn’t allow me to write here anymore!). The style I’ve put together and that I use yesterday while shopping around is something I think she wouldn’t wear as an outfit, though she might use the separate parts! But as she told me, that’s why she invited me to do this – ‘cuz I jump from style to style, and from blonde to brunette and I rarely use a complete outfit from a store! I prefer separates! She wants diversity, and I will certainly try!

*Review* :: DUTCH TOUCH ::

Oh where do I start for this review?! Yes I know, the beginning. Okay here it goes … About 14 months ago, I bought my first :: DUTCH TOUCH :: outfit. I was completely taken away with the outfit (and I still have and still wear it). Over the course of the year, I’ve kept an eye on :: DUTCH TOUCH :: occasionally checking out the skins, the tees, the full outfits and of course picking up pieces here and there.

When Iki Ikarus told me she impressed by my blog’s pics, I had to read it three times over before I could believe what I saw. I unwrapped the prezzies with a stupid grin. Completely amazed with the new releases How can you not love :: DUTCH TOUCH ::?!

*Review* Convoitise

Convoitise is another great store that needs some much needed press. Toume Yao & Ondeline Pera, the co-owners, have this quaint store packed with many great finds. I was really impressed when I found them one day shopping.  Toume Yao sent over a couple of cute things for me to share.

Sweater dresses are super hot this season. Convoitise has the market cornered by pairing the other hot trends, metallics and leggings. Both dresses are very well crafted and so sweet.  I’m really happy to see more designers adding more items in with their outfits and giving multiple options.  Both come with added editions like a purse and legwarmers or double bracelets. Cute cute and more cute. Check out Convoitise to see the other colors and way more items. You will be just as impressed as I was. Its a hidden gem in the fashion world.

*Review* LaLa FooFoo: 3/4 Sleeve Wide Belt Tunics

I am such a jeans and sweater kinda girl when I see a well done tunic top.  I love love love seeing the newness coming from LaLa FooFoo. This morning, Larue Laval, the store’s owner, gave me the matching tights. They are way way too cute! A serious must-have for the fall.  The tights match this wide belted tunic.  Again, Larue gives you all the layers so for that tucked in or out look.  This store is my favorite for casual seperates.  I have been walking around in her other tops all weekend.  Everything is so easy to match with my current inventory.  The prices are down-right silly they are so low. The fat packs are bursting with colors.

*Review* Beats by Dice Beattie

Now here’s a store that is new to the feed and new to me. Its Beats by Dice Beattie. Dice’s fashions are popping with vivid colors.  Each outfit that he sent over was more unique than the next.  The few that I picked are Swirly Cyclone Bathing Suit & Jacket, Dakota Dress, and Aeroplane Dress.

The Swirly Cyclone Bathing Suit is a full one piece completely in classic Swirly hot pink. The mini grey jacket is removable.  I love that this suit is a full coverage in the bottom and completely plunging in the front. (And loving that its pink!)

The Dakota dress is packed with amazing color. The citrus leggings are so cute with this mod puff dress. A great element is that the same orange color is repeated in a bold stripe around the neckline.  Even the mini gloves are so super cute with the slouch like appearance.

My favorite is the Aeroplane dress. The color block of yellow and navy for the bodice is basic but well done as it introducing your eye to the skirt. The bell skirt is covered in mod style printed aeroplanes in that same matching golden hue as the top.

Dice even hosts a line of men’s wear.  Again, full of color with that high fashion mod look. Clean and classic with striking colors.
