Men, the sale applies to male styles as well.

We caught up with Zen who has been holidaying abroad, to find out what she thought would be the look for the woman on the go.  She still likes the comfort and style of the Lindy Modern & Retro shoes, ( Delinda Abbott) boots worn in photo from Lindy. 

For a different look she wears the classic Felicity Shoes (Felicity Overlord)

Her dress is from the ever popular Lordiva (Java Fashion Designs) (Simone Udimo.  The owner Simone Udimo has been in business for some time, her followers are many.  Not only does she have a look that spans a multitude of fashionistas from all over the world, she keeps her line affordable.  There is a fee to join her group, but... you will recover that  many times over with the gifts she puts out for her "ladies"

Hair worn today, is from EMO-tions ... Zen was a very happy camper when we were at the site. Dedicated to her craft of looking good, she says a gal can never have enough  hairstyles.

This was DJ Dick Pinelli at Xmas.... getting in a taste of sweet.  As if he isn't sweet enough!

Since due to technical difficuties, we are so late getting this blog out, we are going to show you some of our favourite pics from 2015.

Mr Mike String an entertainer we have yet to get over to see, he is one our to do list.  Should be on yours too. This was his lovely Xmas card this year.

The dragon from Inferno, done by the very talented Andy it is too bad that Inferno is now closed.. this dragon was a true work of art.

This lush piece of paradise is the build of Gaudin Himmel, there is so much to see, his underground fantasy world, the gardens, Victorian buildings, another must for 2016 if you have not been there yet.

 China who was going to open several shops, has decided to stay open at Spirit Nation, where she finds the ambiance more suited to her China-T line. where East meets West.

􀀋China Dream and Qyhat Harbour, have opened a line of East Meets West clothing for the Dinky community.  The line  will be called China-Q and is currently in test mode. The shop will be on the wharf in Dinkyville.

The collaboration should be interesting indeed.  We attended their first initial meeting to discuss their ideas for the line.

Front and back of a pending, sport theme. that Q wants to do.  We guess only time will tell how the two personalities will work out.

Meanwhile  there are shops and homes for rent in the Dinkyville area.  For more information please contact the owner of this community Pinky Cyberstar

You are all dressed up, you've carefully selected your gown, jewelry, shoes and now you are ready to  put it all together.  You change your makeup for special occasions, do you remember your hair,
This eye catching gown is from Shoenique - Goddess red full outfit - it comes complete with the jewelry.
We wanted a formal hairstyle, but with a playfulness.  The hair is from A&A the style is Cele, the hair is swept up, but the curls cascading on the head down over the forehead, makes for a more sensual look.  Leaves the neck bare and inviting,,,n'est pas?

  

Consider the color of your hair when you are creating your look. It does make a difference.

Cats and more Cats

Want a new experience, like cats?  we've discovered a new shop for you to explore. .: Somnia :. Main Store @ Snatch City,

We were drawn there by a note card that came out telling of and still functioning Advent Calendar where this wonderful top could be found. Didn't take much convincing for one of the gals to go down to check it out.

Readers, this top is called a  pussy jumper by the designer (Sanura Snowpaw), is available in 8 colours, this is a no brainer, if you love cats and  this off the shoulder look, you have no excuse not to get your tail down there and snap this up.  How long her generosity will hold up is anyone's guess. There are a lot of goodies to pick up and in the spirit of the holiday season, still free.
The model picked up her skin, necklace and earrings there, along with the wonderful blush she is wearing and I think she told me that the eye shadow is also from there,.

Boots (mesh) are from Koko and were also on special at the shop at a third of the regular cost.  limo to KoKo  (regular price on the boots 249L) The Secret Wednsday sale price  49L

Virtual Art and Lifestyles can tell you about the sales, we can't shop for you, but we can help nudge you out the door =^_^=

What are you waiting for, hit the trails, check out the sales, enjoy! Its a purrfect day for shopping.....

Virtual Art & Lifestyle

 Here we are on the road again, this time instead of a daily blog, we will be posting on a can do basis. Q, AloToi and Xsa are all on one assignment or another, life is busy, but always, we are drawn back to the virtual world for R&R,  The beauty, creativity and artistic community is just too irresistible 

To help us will be Lady Jan, she will do most of the roving and exploring for us.  Although having said this, I feel AloToi's  heavy breathing on my neck, I know she misses all the designers that she's worked with over the last couple of years doing Long Dash Studio. Q wants to write her mini moments again, so who knows, what you will get here is a mix of fashion,entertainment news, visual art and musings.

Remember to follow us so it is easier for you to keep up to date with what is happening.  AloToi (on the left), asks the Designers who worked with LDS to send samples and information to Lady Jan, that will expedite things.  As usual you hear of a new build, or find one that you feel is a "winner" let us know.

Our Flickr - Avatar Art is doing very well, we thank each and everyone of you who have been posting your creativity there. So is AAA so post there too if your pictures apply
