Joan is a stylish new dress from Icing. It comes in 6 sensational colors: black, blue, green, red, white and I’m wearing purple. Miko Omegamu does system skirts so well, I am wearing my system skirt shape for this dress. It’s exactly like my regular shape except with slightly smaller hips and booty. I feel so sophisticated and curvy in this dress. It also comes with a leaf & feather hat with an option for a veil. I adore the veil, it adds so much class to the whole look.

Joan will be released later today so join the Icing update group inworld or keep an eye on the Icing blog so you can be one of the firsts to get your hands on it.

The skin and necklace I am wearing are both currently available at Culture Shock from Glam Affair and Lassitude & Ennui.

This Sakura skin from Glam Affair is slowly rising to the top of my favorites list. I love how it looks on my shape and now it is available in 5 delicious skin tones (Light, Natural, MedTan, Tan and Dark). I am currently wearing the Tan but I adore all of the tones, especially the Dark. A big thank you to ALL of the designers that take the time to do awesome dark tones for their skins. <3

It was love at first site when I saw the necklace from Lassitude & Ennui. I first noticed it on plurk and I made it a point to go back to Culture Shock to pick it up. It's gorgeous and definitely one you want to pick up when you go.

Speaking of Culture Shock, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the organizers for displaying my art there, it really is an honor to have it up there amongst so many other amazing artists. Thank you Culture Shock team! <3 Take the slurl to Culture Shock and check it out guys!

More new shoes? Yes please! I just got my hands on these gorgeous new Lelutka Pow pumps and I know I settled for black in this post but they just made the outfit. Keep in mind that there are many more color combinations and trust me when I say you will be seeing more posts with these beauties sneaking in. Check out the Lelutka blog for more details about the pow pumps.

Please Note: I’m afraid the angle and closeup that I took might make them and my feet look very big and not proportionate with the rest of my body, however please be assured that inworld they most definitely are proportionate. Thank you <3

Nardya Rousselot of NX NARDCOTIX is about to release the MANA Footwear Collection. This release will occur on Sunday, June 13 at 1pm SLT and there will be 7 different and stylish shoes to choose from. This is the first time NARDCOTIX is releasing a collection of this sort, with prim feet attached and I must say, each shoe is so pretty and well done.

To celebrate this collection, they are having a fun blogger challenge where 3 lucky winners will receive a MANA color pack of their choice. All you have to do is read the questions on their blog and then go to the list of blogs to find the answers hidden in the posts.

Now, onto the shoes, I have the pleasure of introducing the Chelo Wedges to you. These summer wedges are textured so well and look almost like real jute heels with their natural and tough fabric that you would find in real life. The hud is fast and simple to use and contains 10 different preset skintones to choose from and tint. The shoes are also scripted so you have the option to change them into 12 different colors, including everyone’s favorites: black, red, pink, brown, beige, ivory, and many more.

But the best and most unique part about the MANA footwear collection is the Nail Art. Each shoe comes with two nail packs, but you can actually purchase more nail packs that are so artistically done. I have never seen anything like it and I know you guys are going to have so much fun with that. So before you purchase your new MANA’s be sure to get a spa pedicure at the NARDCOTIX new mainstore.

Is it just me or is pot dude totally checking out my ass?

Good luck with the challenge, I hope you win! <3

Every day, there will be an item marked down 50% showcased on SLDailyDeals.com. That designer and every other SL Daily Deals designer also has items from their current stock marked down 10%, 20%, or 25% at all times. Some designers may even offer exclusives on top of their everyday discounted items.

Today’s SLDD is the sexy swimsuit I am wearing from Hucci. It is available in 5 different colors at 50% off only today. So make sure to pick up your SLDD membership card and then attach it before you purchase the item so you get it at the discounted price.

At Launa Fauna you will find one makeup in each tone 10% off and one fatpack in each tone at 25% off.

At MudHoney you will find a Natural Bedroom set, Natural Livingroom set and a Natural Diningroom set all at 10 to 25% off. I am relaxing on the beautiful bed available in the bedroom set in the first picture. The bed comes accompanied with many different and adorable cuddling and sleeping animations.

At Zaara the 4 beautiful Amsterdam Fashion Week designs are all on sale for 10% off along with one of Zaara’s new beautiful gowns in the back pink room which is 25% off.
