Last night I was lucky enough to be around when I heard "oohing" and "aahing" in the fashion chat. Of course, I had to have a look to see what the fuss was about, and was lucky enough to snag a pic of this fabulous dress.
As soon as I saw it, I wanted it, and begged the designer Ayannah Slade for one.
Once I tried it on, I have to say, the pics I saw, did not do this dress justice.
Its just gorgeous.
Simple, elegant, yet very sexy, this dress flatters and sits nicely. The colour is even better than it appears in the pic, and the creases are done very nicely.
In fact, I could not find an angle this dress looks bad at!
Its not very often that I find a dress that I like absolutely everything about. This is one of the few.

I have photographed this without a system skirt, but one is available for it, for those times you want to seductively slide a leg out whilst dancing.

I'm not sure whether the dress is actually released as yet, but if not, it will soon be on its way!
Ayannah assures me her new store is in production as I type, so don't forget to pop over there and grab one of these!

I'm also wearing the very elegant "Nice" hairstyle by Magika.
I tp'ed over there to snag some of the hair thats on sale, and picked this up while I was there, the fatpack is at half price!
Natch!

Fae Dreamer

Okay, halloween has come and gone, time for costumes and trick or treating.

Except, as mentioned before...we don't do Halloween that much in Australia, and also, I really don't like all the orange and black. I'm not a pumpkin! ffs

But who doesn't like getting to wear something they normally wouldn't wear?
So, in very vague tribute to halloween, I've gone for a dreamy fairy look today.



It was the wings that initially inspired me.
I picked them up as a freebie, and just thought they were so pretty...and the particles weren't over the top annoying, which is a lovely change from most I see!

I teamed it with that gorgeous skin from Frick, and dug through the depths of my inventory (and omg the things I saw!!!) to find the perfect dress, which came in the form of Persephone.

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.
