lassitude & ennui

Firstly I would like to introduce you to:-

lassitude & ennui

Established in 2005, lassitude & ennui offers original sculpted footwear
and jewellery in eclectic styles, with influences ranging from
steam punk / Victorian to the historical.

Now being honest until I got my list of vendors I had not come across this store but well I have to say I am a convert. Their footwear is so detailed and so easy to fit , that it was a joy to show them off to their best.

I was lucky enough to be sent three styles Flora boots,Celtic boots and Mojari slippers so lets tackle them one at a time

Celtic boots
These are tooled mid calf leather in a Celtic design with hand stitching easy to wear and fit. Suitable for male and female avatars. You get two pairs in pack one with and one with out resizing script. Four colours to choose from and at a cost of $L300.



Flora boots
For the victorian/Steampunk lady a lovely heeled mid-calff boot with pearlised buttons,borcadee inserts and lace top. They come with a HUD to change certain aspects of the adornments like the metal, colour of the pearl s and the lace-top. Many colours to choose from and at a cost of $L 350.



Mojari slippers
These slippers are simply delightful delicate and so elegant to wear. The jewels twinkle but not enough to hav ethe bling factor and for an exotic dance,harem or rajah style RPing these would only compliment . . Again many colours to choose from and un/scripted options. These colourfull slippers are inspired by the Khussa Mojari shoes of India.
250L$ each, mod / copy / no transfer, optional resizer included.


Fantasy Fair 2011 is almost here


As I am sure you are aware there is the Fantasy Faire on this weekend and I have been asked to blog a number of the sellers on the Nemo Revisited Sim

Firstly about the Faire. This is one of the Relay for life Events that have been going on around the whole sl community . For those that are new to sl this is to raise money for cancer research and is a big fund-raising event for sl. All of the vendors at the Faire will have at least one item that the proceeds from the sale go to the charity. So I will make no apology for not having items that are low cost or free on the blog for the next few days.

Cancer reaches/touches us all in some why whether by being personal victims of its less than tender touch to having friends,family and loved ones go through this non discriminating condition .

So that said I am sure you would like to see some of the wonderful creations the designers have made for this event and some of the products they have in their store.

New Store Opening

Well as they say when one door closes another opens. today i got a notice that there  was a new fashion store opening so i hopped over and had a nosey.

Wonderful elegant fashions and a sales section for those like me with a tight budget. I was lucky enough to meet the owner who is friendly and very helpful. In fact she was handing out diamond chokers to all those that visited.

I pick this dress from the sales section at 50$l , it comes with skin changeable shoes so well worth a visit.

LaVie

LaVie  sent out a group notice a few week ago telling all members of the preview to the new skin was available Hope for the ladies and Savon for the gents. Like many members i hopped over and got them and i have blogged the male version (i think you all laughed).  While there i applied to join the Bloggers group and was honoured to be accepted.  so i am attaching a photo of the full price skins. I chose 4 out of the many options available and although i try and keep this blog to a low cost some times you have to spend a little to get a good base for all the fashions and a good skin is one of those thing (in my humble opinion).

All the skins shown are Hope and with cleavage and shade normal (what girl does not want cleavage).
 clockwise :-

#8 Embraced forest
#15 Deep pool
#1 Bare
#3 Autumn

Have fun

JJ

Once again those guys have done it again  wonderful items with originality. I will be including their item for the pacific crisis fundraising.  So i will have over to the guys and in their words explain

"We are aware of the fact that many of you run strict freebie-/dollarbie-blogs. And both outfits are with 210 L$ each obviously not in that range of product you normally display. But if you see a chance to blog the items we would be of course extremely happy. This event is in our opinion extremely important :-)"

That said here are the two outfits and yes you can laugh at the male Julianna  just as long as you donate.

My Emmanuel are going from strength to strength as they strive to bring yo good quality clothing at a good price.

They have a few new events like  lucky chair and a midnight madness board . They also have their own little hunt at the moment.

Revenge is adish served quik

I am sorry to say that the clothing line "she wants revenge" is closing at the end of the month and that they have set all the products to 10 lindens.  They carry a wide range of style and lines. Skins, shoes and clothing. So hurry along and get some very well designed and made outfits. But deprim and script as i am sure you will know the place will be mobbed and very laggy. Here are a few of the outfit i brought on my visit....

"She wants revenge"


Busy Busy Busy

The grid is alive with lots of donations for those that have been effected but the events in Japan and i know that all the blogs are buzzing with the news events and gift.  So rather than repeat al the good words and gift i am only going to blog one.  This is a lovely little dress from Agnes Finney at her My Precious store. It is only 10 lindens and so the the budget conscious sler this is a way to give and not feel that you are not helping, and i might add that ALL the lindens got to the appeal not a percentage ALL.......
