In case you don’t yet know, ~ghee~ is having an Autumn Leaves hunt!  I’ve tried on all the pieces and they are rich with the beautiful colors of Fall and perfect for a day out shopping, meeting friends for coffee or a romantic afternoon with your sweetheart.  I’m wearing the Oatmeal Coat, Pumpkin Thermals top and leggings and Oatmeal boots.  You’ll find more details below my photo!

Ghee Fall14 Collection at Penumbra today!

Greetings!

I know it has been far too long since my last blog post, but I’m back and bringing you a very tiny peek of the drop dead gorgeous new Fall14 Collection from ~ghee~.  The Fall14 Collection has over 70 pieces, from thermals to boots and nails,  which you can see today at 2pm SLT at the Penumbra AW14 fashion Week event.

The choices that I am wearing, from the Fall14 Collection are the Russian Fur Hat (Claret), Fall14 Opera Coat (Claret), Fall14 Satin Sheath Dress (Sangria), Noir Tights, Couture Boots (Gold Metal) and Couture Handbag.

~Fall14~

~ghee~ Press Release:
Inspired by the idea of dramatic opulence, the collection uses fine wools, fur, embossed leather, knit, velvet and satin textures combined in a deep rich color palette inspired by the AW14/15 Pantone Colour Trends. Cassis – vibrant blackcurrant purple; Royal – bright blue; Aluminum – muted mid grey; Claret – rich red; Saffron – deep yellow/gold; Sangria – luscious purple red; Mauve Mist – soft muted mauve; Cognac – rich brown; Cobalt – deep green toned blue; Cypress – muddy grey green, Fog – pale grey; and Noir – charcoal black.

An original abstract pattern, created by Warm Clarity, in 4 lush colorways brings the whole palette together and provides ample opportunities for mixing and matching different looks.

The Fall14 collection includes rigged mesh clothing, rigged and unrigged mesh accessories and system layer ribbed knit sets. The Thermals Set includes different neckline options, and a choice of mesh cowl and turtle neck and sleeve cuff options, giving you a huge range of choices of how to wear it – we’re sure this will become a wardrobe essential this winter!

The Couture Boots for Slink High Feet come in high gloss black leather with stunning ribbon laces and bow detailing – they include a color change HUD for the laces and bow giving you 11 color options in one, and are materials enabled. **.PENUMBRA.

~Cold November Rain~

Cold November Rain4

Oops!  She stayed way past bedtime at the Halloween Party last night and now she’s trudging home, through the rain, in her party clothes.  Good thing her adorable SEY Bat Cape is latex and she wore her Athor boots.  The umbrella she snagged on the way out the door is from Salt and the fabulous dress with the poof skirt is the first group gift from Auxiliary.

Halloween may be right around the corner, but October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month and to help keep the pink on everyone’s mind…[dirty.little.secret] has marked down several pink themed items for only 10L!!! WooHoo!!  Now, my husband and I rarely fight…however, I must be getting on his nerves because he jumped a little to fast at the chance to beat the stuffin out of a pillow on me AND he didn’t mind all those extra times I said hit me again…hmmmm.  My pink plaid boyfriend shirt and too cute pink over the knee suspender socks are two of the 10L BCA items from [dirty.little.secret]…but wait…that’s not all…if you act NOW…the fabulous Bubblegum Twig Swing can also be yours for the amazing price of only 10L!!!

My adorable Tomako hair (in Ruby) is a lucky board win from D!va (no group tag required); however, if you join the group (no fee) there are a whole bunch of really cute hair styles available for their members…pssssttt don’t forget to crawl through the little secret door. The pink pillow in my hand is a freebie from Lauren’s Tiling Textures on the Marketplace…and it poofs all those fun feathers…thank goodness they clean themselves up with all the times I kept telling my husband to hit me again! My slippers come from another lucky board at ::marion:: (no group tag required). The *RD* (Reasonable Desires) Pink Leah bra is part of a set and was an old group gift…the group is free to join, the creator is very generous with member gifts AND she has several lucky chairs with all kinds of lingerie goodies in them.
