When I decided to take on the endeavor of blogging Twosome, I thought for a moment that perhaps I should request someone to strike a pose with me and really make this post into a “twosome” effort. Of course my first thought came to none other than my dear friend Kingston Augustus, who is actually the person responsible for introducing me to this colorful store. After a lot of begging, pleading and some blackmailing, I finally got her to agree to spend the afternoon with me where we would raid our inventories of all the awesome twosome stuffage and just go on a picture happy adventure. Twas fun, can you tell?

If you haven’t been to twosome yet, you’re in for a treat. Colorful retro fashions at extremely affordable prices. Shelby and Visa do a phenomenal job of offering quality products at exceptional prices with the majority of the items being under L$100.

Beach @ Las Arenas Rosadas

With spring and then summer right around the corner, they should definitely be on your shopping list for cute summery tanks and soon-to-be-released retro bathing suits.

Balcony @ {Zaara}

Situated @ The Starlust Motel/Halflust Harbour, when you enter their mainstore don’t forget to look to your right and pick up all the dollarbies they have in their discount section. Lots of adorable socks, tights and tops to choose from!

They also carry a few items for men as well as some very energetic and wild poses! So what are you waiting for? Take the slurl to Twosome right now!

A heartfelt thank you to the stylish Kingston Augustus for posing with me. <3

<3 my boho look.

I was recently tp’d to Lucas Lameth Fashion Jewelry to check out some of his new releases and I just fell in love with the Tropical Wood necklace. Then the outfit just emerged around that by itself.

The earrings are just one of the pairs that were gifted to me recently. I have to admit, I was ignorant of Koge Cleaver’s work before I received these, but have now placed her little shop {Junk} at the top of my shopping list. These ones are called the belly dancer earrings but my favs are definitely the bohemiam chandelier earrings pictured here.

The golden bangles are from Dark Mouse and the blue bangles are from +Plus. Both of these shops have some gorgeous jewelry pieces and should definitely be on your shopping list!

The hair of course is the fabulous new ETD release Chel, in auburne.

The tank is a relatively new release from Cupcakes. It comes in many different gorgeous colors, of which I chose turquoise. Cupcakes has also had a recent skin release called Seduction and I believe Grazia Horwitz did a fabulous job of reviewing those skins.

The skirt is from one of my most favorite designers, Leah McCullough of Naive. I absolutely adore her work. Her jeans are slowly becoming one of my favs on the grid. I’m wearing her gorgeous bell skirt in gold and blue. I love the way it moves, it’s cute and lotsa fun to wear. Recently she also did some plurk dollarbie shirts for all of those plurkaholics like me. :P

My skin and my shoes (which are the beautiful Korina flats) are both from Lelutka.

The anklet is an unreleased {Zaara} creation in silver. Zaara has decided to put it out finally for FREE and has hidden it somewhere in her mainstore, see if you can find it! :)

And finally, the poses are from the all new Diesel Works.

Happy shopping everyone! <3

Hello everyone, I’m back with another installment of Berry’s Favorite Things.

Starting from the bottom up, I have fallen in love with these boots. Designed by Mai Runo from the store [0N] ZERO NUMBER, I was tp’d to this cute little store that has only a handful of well-crafted boots. A must visit!

Next we have the tights from the fabulous Shop Seu. These are the ever-popular tights that were a part of many blog challenges and still remain one of my favs!

Then we have the adorable little jean skirt from Dutch Touch. Dutch Touch is one of my fav places for streetwear, especially denim!

My absolute fave recently is the Asian Tunic from KUROTSUBAKI. I LOVE it! It comes with matching shorts that I’m not wearing in the pic but I just love everything about this tunic. The texture, the color and the way it moves.

The necklace is from ICoN and can I just say everything in that store I just LOVE! I have several pieces from there already and plan on owning the whole store very soon!

Bracelets from Lelutka from the multi-talented Miabella Foxley. She’s working on more jewelry and some beautiful eyes, and I just can’t WAIT to see what more is coming! I also own her stunning set at The Loft! <3

This fabulous hair is from Truth. Recently Truth has released some amazing styles but this one named Miabella is by far my favorite! And yes this is the hair that I was quoted on plurk saying I looked like “the secks” in. Thanks Luna! :P

Last, but certainly not the least, the poses you see here are from a brand new pose store by the name of Diesel Works. This new store also has some couple’s poses along with single poses for men and women separately. My favorite pose set from this new store is called Sundari!

And here you have it folks, another installment of Berry’s Favorite Things. Till next time, MUAH!

As soon as I walked into this beautiful new store, I instantly fell in love. The designs were colorful, fresh and the quality is superb.

For being a relatively new designer (she just opened Zullay Designs a few weeks ago) Zullay Thor definitely has quite a lot to offer. She not only sells gorgeous clothes, but skins as well! And she’s quite the organized one. Her store is split into four different collections:
::The Poet Collection :: is a soft, romantic group of items created with soft colors and classic lines for a vintage feel.
::The Glamour Collection:: is modern and sophisticated, with bold colors and beautiful prints.
::The Ethereal Collection:: is a fantasy world filled with seductive mermaids, whimsical faeries and magical elves.
::The Couture Collection:: consists of a few pieces of unique fashion that are very limited in that there is only one version of each outfit created and sold.

Poet Helena Dress

Zullay is also a very friendly, warm and delightful person to converse with. I decided to ask her a few quick questions for the blog to introduce her a bit since she’s really very sweet.

Berry: What were you doing on SL before you got into designing?
Zullay: Exploring and buying shoes. I like traveling to the different regions and admiring the builds. It’s a like hanging out in a painting, only primmier.

Berry: What influences or inspires you as a designer?
Zullay: Everything. The colors of flowers, the way a curtain blows in the breeze, an outfit worn in an old Danger Man episode from the 60′s. I’m not sure there is a logical pattern to my inspirations

Berry: Are there any designers in SL or even RL that you look up to?
Zullay: RL designers I adore are Diane von Furstenberg and Naeem Khan, especially from this last fashion week. The designs are so feminine and so creative. For SL designers there are just so many. There is so much talent here, and SL is just the coolest medium for creative types, and I think anyone who takes the time and the energy to create something is admirable.

Berry: What do you hope to accomplish on SL?
Zullay: Hhhhmmm….wow. I don’t honestly know. I’m loving what I do now and I plan to keep going as long as my customers continue to shop. If I have a goal it would be to have 100% blissfully happy customers who love wearing my items. And to be able to buy more shoes. I don’t nearly have enough shoes.

Berry: What are your plans for the future? Expansion? Take over? :P
Zullay: Oh the take over option sounds like a lot of fun! Count me in! :] But until the role of “World Ruler” comes up, I’ll keep growing my collections and making more yummy items. I keep pushing myself to make things better, more detailed and love the challenge of improving. I’ll probably expand the Couture Collection to make more intricate pieces, and maybe start a collection for the men. Or maybe a collection for chihuahuas (I hear they are all the rage).

LOL, as you can see, she’s quite entertaining to talk to. Great personality and so much talent!
