~Rush Hour~

Rush Hour_010Pm2

I often stumble across the best things just from having a serendipitous conversation.  I am in the process of rolling out an Autumn Art Walk and had the wonderful opportunity to have a fabulous conversation, in the wee hours of the morning, with one of the artists.  We started talking about the blustery weather and keeping warm…which eventually lead to talking about fall fashions in SL.

M became very excited about an outfit she found on the Marketplace…from KIKI Designs.  The outfit was indeed fall fabulous and extremely well priced.  With my interest piqued, I flipped through the pages for this store and found another outfit that said “BUY ME!!”.  Now how can I resist that?

This Pied de Poule outfit in pink houndstooth comes with the smashing belted jacket, tights, bag and sky high platform pumps…all for 175L!!  The textures, draping and fit are spot on. I don’t usually like everything to be all matchy-match…but this just works without being overdone; especially when using minimal accent jewelry.

As soon as I put it on, my first thought was  to do a location shot in a city scape…so into search I went and entered “New York”…which took me to this amazing scaled replica of Central Park called “Midnight Manhattan Reverie” @ Virtual Reverie.  A definite MUST see and fantastic location for photo shoots!  I LOVE finding new places to explore and shoot photos!

How Alice-inWonderland adorable is this Halloween Dress from AMERIE?!!  It matches perfectly with the equally adorable Pumpkin Bag from :SEY…BOTH are gifties from The Ghost of Halloween Hunt.  This hunt is an absolute blast to do…you search for the little ghosts that flit about and click on them for your prize…but beware…some of the apparitions are tricksters and you’ll end up with one on your head!!  I felt like a real Ghost Buster…so much fun hunting these little BOO monsters.

The swaggerific Halloween shoes (orange and black skull design with ankle socks!) are from *{ SeVered GarDeN }* on the Marketplace for the amazingly low price of 40L!!!  The fishnet stockings were part of an old group gift from N-core Design (free to join).
