Just wanted to take a moment to show everyone these lovely items from Seasons Jewelry. I stumbled upon their tiny booth at the jewelry fair and really liked what I saw. The first necklace pictured here is called Fuschia Bloosom. It is very pretty and half of the proceeds go to Oxfam. You can purchase it at the Seasons main location or at their booth at the jewelry fair. Be sure to join their subscribomatic while you visit. The second necklace pictured here is called Autumn Lace and is your gift for joining their subscribo group! Seasons also has a Midnight Mania board in their main store. I have tried for the MM prize four times now, but have been unsuccessful. Hopefully after you see this post you will go check out Seasons and tap the MM board while you are there! Also, check out the Seasons blog. Looks like some really cute Halloween jewelry is in the works!

L’Abel, originally uploaded by Elise Petrov.

When I first heard the news about Ivalde closing, I was very sad! Ivalde was probably one of the first clothing stores I discovered as a noob searching for retro or period clothing! I used to wander around the store, looking at everything, wondering how I could come up with enough lindens to buy everything in the store! Needless to say, I love Ivalde and all of Nef’s creations! I hope she has a speedy recovery and feels better soon!

So as my tribute to Nef and Ivalde, I decided to throw together some of my favorite pictures of Ivalde outfits that I have had lying around. I took the pictures of the L’Abel outfit right after the collection was released, but I never blogged it. The others are photos that I snapped here and there most for the Ivalde Flickr Pool. I definitely prefer photography to blogging :)

Lost Dreams 3, originally uploaded by Elise Petrov.

Hi all! Just writing to tell you about a great little store called Lost Dreams! I heard about Lost Dreams thanks to Dolly Ewing of PoshTotty! Since then, I have popped over several times to check out the latest releases like the Rachel Tartan Outfit, and also picked up several other outfits while I was there. Lost Dreams owner Estelle Parnall also dropped her latest release on me called Abbey, from her Glamazon Label. These dresses are to-die-for elegant and ultra feminine with delicate layers and soft pastel colors!! Lost Dreams offers a great range of styles from casual to evening wear, and its all very affordably priced! So if you haven’t checked out Lost Dreams & Glamazon already, do yourself a favor and get down there NOW! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ambrosius/171/141/22

Happy Shopping!! <3 Elise

.

Every once in a while, I find a store where I just want to buy everything they have! And Coco is one of those stores! Great styles from casual to elegant, with fabulous details and textures! I popped over to the new Coco sim to pick up the new releases, and ended up buying several separates and outfits to add to my closet! I just threw this together to showcase some some of my favorites like the Jacket & Shirt combo (<3 <3 this blouse!), the Party Dress and Pink Bomber Jacket! Coco also has some of the best belts that I’ve seen in SL. Check this store out if you haven’t already! Definitely worth a visit!!
