KoKo Kool

There are many new and wonderful shops in SL, but I think one of the best finds for me(personally) has to be KoKo. Actually when I first came across this brand, I thought it only specialized in hair, but later I realized they sold pretty dresses, beautiful gowns, and adorable shoes too! In my earlier blog about them (see my post under: 'Amazing Alpestyle and KoKo Hair!'), co-owner Akira gave me two lovely hair-dos, and this time, designer CC Blaisdale gave me two gorgeous gowns after I went back to KoKo to buy some of my favourite hair!! Oh and I bought a pair of cute platform shoes there too which will be featured in my next post:-))

Gown: Chiffon and Satin (silver) from KoKo--review copy
Hair: Zaara from KoKo--150L (sale)
Necklace and Earrings: Silver/Blue Diamonds (with texture change hud) from Wetherby's--50L








Gown: Chiffon and Satin (duotone black) from KoKo--review copy

Trendlight: Princess Pea Coats

Picture from: Overstock

Is it a dress? Is it a coat? I don't know dear readers and quite frankly I don't care. These coats are the sassy and fabulously feminine way to look gorgeous in the deathly cold of the winter while keep toasty warm. Since, I came back from Christmas holidays, Boston has gotten distinctly warmer, and I think this may be the reason for the switch from the thick North Face parkas that were dominant in December to these cuter and categorically more chic forms of outerwear. Either that, or people just decided to take advantage of the after-Christmas sales period. Whatever the reason be though, I am hugely ecstatic because of the result. Their mix of stylish elegance and quirky modernity gives me shivers and reminds me of something a present-day princess would wear for an informal occasion. Dearest devotees, I implore you to indulge and submit to the powers of cuteness of this trend. But if you're not entirely convinced yet here are a couple more reasons to hunt for your own princess pea coat.

Picture from: Guess



1. They are fabulous seasonal transition pieces: Since they are still warm coats but not bulky in nature, they are the perfect pieces to aid in transiting your wardrobe into spring. A lot of them come in really bold colours and prints that make you stand out against the dull winter days left and hail in spring as it comes. They are also really good for dressing up and down your winter outfits, in case you need to go from day to night.
Picture from: Forever 21



2. They come in a budget-friendly price range: Check Forever 21, and Macy's for easier to handle prices. If you want to splurge on the perfect one though, do it!





3. They are really good potential signature pieces: Right now, everyone is abuzz with the need to find a signature piece and I could not agree more. Your signature piece represents your personality in a physical way and becomes a key component of your personal style. The variety of colours, prints, cuts and styles of these coats available makes it really easy to find pieces that truly reflect your personality, and therefore would make a great signature piece.
   

Talking to you about my love affair with these coats has increased my desire for one. Pleated, belted, plaid and red princess pea coat, here I come!

Love you all and Stay inspired,

P.S. So let me know what you think. Would you buy one of these adorable coats? Do you already have one? How does it look? Feel free to let me know in the comments below.

That's What Friends Are For

I was just enjoying some peace and quiet today when who should contact me but fellow shopaholic and dear friend, Tesh? But of course her shopping addiction was far worse than mine (in my opinion at least *grin*), I mean, if I could, I would have signed her up for Shopaholic Anonymous! *hehe*



Anyway, Tesh teleported me to this god-forsaken sim (like a good friend would when she finds something interesting to share*grin*) where everything was dark and misty yet with an unusual aura about it that was both mystifying and disquieting. Then before I knew it, I found myself stuck fast to this gigantic, nausea-inducing spider web!!! Poor Tesh tried to help but she had a deep fear of spiders herself (bless her)...


Ahhhh...here comes Gavin, hope he doesn't claim to have arachnophobia as well LOL!




Yay! Free at last! Now THAT's what friends are for!!



Ok now back to the more serious stuff (grin)!



Dress: Pepper from A Piece of Candy--free (group gift)
Hair: Midge (includes colour changeable hair band) by Katey from FabFree--free
Earrings: Heart Drop Earrings from Gauddie--free (welcome gift)

Shoes: BM Candy Girl Pumps (colour change hud included) from Baby Monkey--free (group gift)

It's a list containing all the most important things I feel one needs when flying. Feel free to check it out loves and let me know what you think about the post.

Seeking Inspiration: Carry Me Through

Photo from: John Corvera

Dearest Devotees,

We all need someone who inspires us. Someone who believes in us, in our ability to create, to improve and to grow. We need someone that shows us that when times get hard, we should not give up but instead we should increase our pace and work with even more zeal than before. These people can inspire us just by showing that they have been through similar times and have emerged victorious. Or they could be our friends, families, or loved ones, people close to us that provide security and the faith in ourselves that we sometimes lack as portrayed in the song Crawl (Carry Me Through) by Superchick. Even if we see ourselves as completely independent, we need people to give us a push in the right direction, to critique our work and sometimes to be our muse. Relationships bring about experiences and experiences are the substance of life. So if you don't already have someone that inspires you, make an effort to find that person today and you will soon find yourself reaching heights that you never dreamed of.

Here are some of the links that inspired me this week:

These teapots take self-expressive home dècor to a whole new level.

Why would anyone have a thing against princesses? Super Kawaii Mama gives us more reasons to love them.

I'm a sucker for little kids but this little guy singing Jason Mraz's I'm Yours is just too precious!

I have found some more kindred spirits in the girls from Shimmer Like Gold and Live Life Deeply.

And now for this week's exercise:

Dashing past the little burst of colour that were the newly blossomed cherries, with her bubblegum pink skirts rustling in the wind, Carnatia raced to the top of Daela hill with Lorelei close on her heels.

'Tag you're it!' Lorelai squeeled with delight as she hurled into Carnatia. But Carnatia had other plans.

'Not if I have anything to say about it!' she shrieked as she began to tickle Lorelai all over and before they knew it they were in fits of laughter, giggles and squeals on the grassy hill. Soon their peals of laughter died down, and they lay in contemplative silence amongst the dandelions and bluebells.

'I'm really happy you came this summer, Natie. I don't know what I'll do when you leave with your family,' whispers Lorelai, all 8 years of her displaying her misery at the mere thought of being without her newfound bestfriend. After being quiet for awhile Carnatia said.

'Cousin Reina says that it we really care about someone we can always feel them there and find them in everything around us, if we believe. '

'Do you believe?'

'Yes.'

Love you all and Stay inspired,

P.S. So let me know what you think. Do you have a muse/someone that motivates or inspires you? Do you have a critique? What does the picture make you think of? Feel free to let me know in the comments below.
