Graveyard Stalking

The other day when Eden and I did a photo shoot, she took me to a sim called The Trace. I'm always on the lookout for great photo sims, and I must say, this one is just wonderful! It's very well done, they have several different "scenes" on the sim, and the best part? THEY HAVE BUILD TURNED ON so you can rez stuff! \o/
* A plea to all creators of photo-worthy sims: PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF KITTENS AND RAINBOWS, LEAVE BUILD TURNED ON FOR US PHOTO TAKERS! <3 *

Anyway, as I was looking around, I found the most quaint little graveyard (can a graveyard be quaint?) which set the stage for today's look! The adorbs dress I'm wearing is from Tres Blah, which you can find at this month's Collabor88 event. It comes in around 8 colors, and is versatile enough to either cute up, or goth down. I wanted to add a little fantasy flair to my outfit, so I paired the dress with the Vinnitsa Sandals from Hucci (also at Collabor88) - of which I adoringly call "The Butterfly Shoes", cause they have the cutest little butterflies on the heels! They are available in many colors, and I do believe are only L$88, if I recall correctly. I picked up a few more items along the way, topped it off with a dolly-type hair from D!va, and my look was complete!
If you're looking for a nice place to relax, or to take some awesome photos (or both), I definitely recommend checking out The Trace. I see a lot more shoots from there in my future. ^.^

PS: The poses I used are from a store called In-Pose!. They are having a closing sale right now. All the poses are L$25 each!

Pull on your Girdle! Here Comes the Vintage Fair!!!!

The Vintage Fair begins on Friday, October 11 and runs until December 3.  The Fair is another fantastic event organized by Chic Management and this has to be one of my favorite events from Keira Seerose thus far.  Over 200 brands will be represented that offer clothing specifically created to showcase items from the 1920's through the 1980's.  The event sponsors are Ivalde, oOo Studio, Alienbear's, Ingenue, GiZZa Creations, Artilleri and Purple Moon.  It covers 2 sims and was built by Aya Liotta of Abode.  It is set up like height of the downtown era with small and large shops.  I would show you photos but my rez at events is less than perfect, but I love how each shop has it's own personality.  Here is a handy map of the event.

I was completely enthralled with one of Apple May's offerings at the fair.  There is nothing grandma or stuffy about Payton with it's mini and deep sexy open back.  It puts me in the mind something Gina Lollobrigida or Briget Bardot or a Bond Girl would wear.  FYI - Make sure you don't wear all the layers of the top or you will lose the lace texture! The Broken Pearl Necklace is also available at Apple May and is the perfect accent for this dress.  Another item I was really excited to see were a set of Elegant Smoking poses from La Petite Morte (I will show more of these in further posts.)

Get ready for a fun event with great quality works.  Taxi's will be added to the posts once the event opens.
