Butter Cream Babe

During these hard economic times many think it would be crazy to start your own business. I'm glad the folks at Butter Lane don't think so. They are the East Village's best and only cupcake makers. Organic cupcakes that is,they use the finest natural ingredients. I hear customers boast about how they are better than OMG don't say it "MAGNOLIA"!!! I've been waiting for at least 2 years for a cupcake making place to open and now I eat one every day. My recession diet is one cupcake a latte and crackers for dinner.

For a good cause....

Hey all, this isn't a shoe post, but it is the time of year when we all reflect on the blessings we have and take the time to think more so of others, and besides that who doesn't need jewelry to go along with the awesome shoes we pair with our outfits??? So with that in mind I'd like to let you know about an event that wraps up tomorrow (December 20th) at 1pm.

Announcing the auction of four Random Calliope Limited Edition sets and one unreleased set.

The proceeds of this auction will assist two families who are facing unemployment during this Christmas season. Dig deep, bid generously, and take home a piece of Second Life history for your Christmas present. Bidding will be open through 1:00 PM SLT on Saturday, December 20 SLT at Random's WorthWhile Gallery in Ode.

The pieces that are available for auction span the length of Random Calliope's time in Second Life and show both his progression as an artist and his journey through Second Life. To read in depth about the pieces, please look at Pretty in Prims: A Retrospective of the Artful Visions of Random Calliope.

Items include: Spiral Dance which was inspired by Mae Best and released as a Limited Edition piece in August, 2005. The set consists of a necklace and earrings.

The Blonde Gatsby is a variation of The Gatsby which was created in honor of the opening of the Grand Ballroom in December 2005. The Grand Ballroom is now a part of the Crescent Moon Museum owned by Tayzia Abattoir and the Blonde Gatsby was the gift given to all the attendees of the rededication of the Museum in the fall of 2007. The set consists of bracelet, necklace, and earrings.

Passe Vuur, or Passion Flame, was inspired by Valadeza Anubis and released as a limited edition in May, 2006. The set includes bracelet, earrings, headpiece, and necklace.

Rendezvous made its debut as a limited edition in September, 2007. It is a truly exquisite piece that makes use of Random's traditional prim built diamond baguettes for the first time. The set includes bracelet, earrings, necklace, and ring (shown above).

Little Jimmy Brown is an unreleased set that was made at the same time Random created the one-of-a-kind Miss SL L’Oreal Paris 2007 Tiara. It is a beautiful combination of gold and diamonds that deserves to be placed around the neck of someone you truly cherish. The set includes a necklace and earrings.

Having these pieces come up for auction is truly a rare opportunity to own a piece of SL's culture created by one of its premiere citizens. None of these pieces have been available for over a year and it is hard to say if they will ever be available again. Do not miss this extraordinary chance to add to your Random Calliope collection and help two fellow SLers have a chance at a Christmas this year.

Bids can be made at the WorthWhile Gallery. In addition to this auction, 50% of the proceeds from purchases made at the gallery of Random's unlimited edition jewelry is donated to the Modest Needs charity, which assists people in short term financial need. This is an ongoing project, so always know that when you make a gift of a Random Calliope piece you not only make someone in SL happy but you are also helping people in real life communities throughout the United States.

Reunited...

and it feels so good.

My friend G brought my Alice Temperley x Target dress back. It's probably my favorite piece of clothing right now. So happy to have it back!

StyleCard: REDGRAVE Girls' Biker Boots

Sometimes a girl just needs a change of attitude, and today my attitude was inspired by a song and some great boots. The boots arrived by way of Viola Leigh, the talented little dynamo who is producing footwear at a breakneck rate lately... and don't I love it! The REDGRAVE Girls' Biker Boots are just about my favorite grunged up high heeled boot to date. Well worn leather is as sexy as ever in this well shaped boot, I love the unbuckled and flopped open upper boot with it's fleecy little lining. They are the type of boot you don't want to take off, I assure you, and the early reaction I got when wearing these was huge... a must have boot in the Black or Brown, and tempting in the additional shades; Caramel, Olive, Sand & White. My humble pal Jonny reviewed the men's version here. (click pics for biggie size.)

I styled it up with the new Bijou 'Vain' set, it has a hint of great military style and sculpted short pants under a system skirt/hooded jacket combo. I added my own touches, damaged fishnet stockings from Dutch Touch (part of PuK set), Cachet Gloves, and the Tweed Flat Cap from The Hat Shop. Skin is Redgrave and Hair is Maitreya. All poses are from Oberon's Trick, a great little find. Oh, and the song is this one here, catchy huh?

Get the hawt boots at Redgrave, like now.

Julia Allison is my Homegirl

So I've known who Julia Allison by name for years just because Gawker is constantly teasing her. I don't know why it took me so long to google her like last month. Her Web page is the cutest array of girly girl photos and vimeo casts. So I was super excited that she contacted me via Jessica Cutler last night because she wanted some headband couture. I got excited because she was going to wear it and she constantly gets her pick taken. Too bad I was swamped in orders or actually thank God I was since cash seems to be so sparingly these days.


Meet Julia from NonSociety on Vimeo.

Next time Julia!!! Just a couple of days in advanced lovely girl.

Pre-Fall Collections

Here are some looks from the Pre-Fall collections that I really liked.

Doo.Ri

There's something mesmerizing about this print. It's abstract, but it reminds me of a floral. I wish I could have this dress!

I hate the pants, but the sheer glittery camisole is tops. I can see this layered with another sheer top, or peeking out underneath a blazer.

Burberry Prorsum

I adore this look, from head to toe.

The only trench coat I've ever wanted. I think those are feathers...

This is the first time I've ever been interested in Burberry Prorsum. This collection has the perfect mix of edginess and wearability. I can honestly see myself wearing these looks head to toe, and I appreciate that. It's not that crazy looks don't have their place -- rather, they force you to expand the way you think about clothing -- but sometimes you just want a little "easy fashion."

I love Shop BLOWOUT SALE and Party!!!

Shop/ILoveShop.com is having a blow out recession sale,all jewelry is 25% percent off while everything else is 40% to a whopping 75%!!! Tomorrow is there Holiday cocktail party filled with booze and cupcakes. The store jam packed with hot discounted shoes and designer goodies of all sorts... So come party!!!


Plus I bought a bunch of my Sparkly lace headbands in that where selling at about 300$ last year at Henri Bendel...You can now get them at SHOP at a serious discount the pricing is down to 60 dollars or 70$ and as well as some things being a little lower. They are great for New Years,especially with all the crystal embellishments!!! Look here..
