Raindrops on Roses

Firstly, I should introduce myself. I’m Ravenna Daviau, and I’m a shopaholic. Not a confession I’m scared to make, since you’re probably one too, if you’re reading this.

I just love clothes…and shoes, and hair, and jewelry, and all those sorts of little goodies.

Like you, I scour the many blogs, to see what new stuff is out that I just absolutely have to have….but every now and then I find a little gem tucked away in a shop somewhere, that nobody knows about, or are keeping it to themselves. Shame on them!

So my mission is to spill the beans, and share with you the gorgeous finds I discover. Some will be new, some won’t be….some will be by the big name designers, but others will be from people you might never have heard of, but have goodies that I think are definitely worth a look at.

To start off, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite items, the ones that keep getting pulled out of the closet, and worn again and again. Hence the title of this post.

As you can tell, I like to go through a decent variety of looks, depending on my mood!


First off, is the fave jeans from Mischief. I love Mischief for mix and match items, and these jeans definitely get worn again and again! I’ve teamed it with another favorite from Mischief, the Amanda top, which I own in several colors lol.

Then, there’s the boots. If I’m wearing boots, it’s a 90% chance it’s these, from Jaywalk. There is nothing I don’t love about these; the shape, texturing, the buckles, but most of all, the way they’re not chunky things that are twice as wide as my legs.

The hair is another favorite, from Philotic Energy. I actually think I found it in the guys section, but who cares? Nice and chunky cut, but still with soft flexi.


Next…..is my absolutely super dooper, oh-so yummy, all time favorite shoes.

They only came in three colors, which is my only complaint….and yes, I own all three. If there were more colors, I’d be there, throwing my Lindens at the designer, in an absolute shopping frenzy lol. Indi Designs also do clothes, but for me, it’s all about those shoes.

You actually get two pairs, with, and without the rivets…..guess which ones I prefer? Hehe


The last pic, is a dress I stumbled across by accident. Don’t you love those?

I’d tp’ed in to go to another shop, and walked past this one, and the dress was just there in the window, waiting for me. I could almost swear it was calling my name.

The hair, was a bargain I got in one of Bewitched’s wonderful hair hunts, but because styles with no fringe just make me look gack, I’ve teamed it with ETD’s fabulous bangs, and slightly tinted the hair to match.
