Sugar Cube

Sugar Cube came up today. I only have one dress from Sugar Cube, and it took me forever to buy it. I'd see it on a feed, think it was cool, head to the store, then decide I didn't really need it. After the 4th time I finally decided if I was coming back that often, I really DID need it! And I do love it. Admittedly, the shoulder straps get all wonky on my shape, but it doesn't bug me enough to make me figure out what to do about it. So with no further ado: the Goldfish Dress!


I'm wearing the dress with J's Real Toe Belt Platform Sandals, Truth's Valerie hair in pumpkin (which somehow manages to be red but not clash with the orange dress - wish my real-life hair could do that!) and Plastic Flowers' Shattered skin in pale (with my LAQ red eyebrows, of course).

Lashes are Wild Brush from Perse.

Riddle

I am in serious trouble. My linden balance is dangerously low, it's two more weeks before I give myself my allowance, and yet still I shop! My next blogging stop is Riddle, a store that I had no memory of ever visiting. But there in my inventory was a cute sweater with little skulls on it that sent me right over to check out the other offerings.


Riddle is a very nice store with some fantastic items. Somehow I managed to find a coat I absolutely needed to buy. Never mind that I have about 50 other coats, 25 of them bought this fall. This pretty red one is part of the Winter Blues set that comes with a sweater dress as well, but I've paired it with a different Riddle sweater, Skully, in pink. I especially like that I can wear the coat hood at the same time as my sweater neck.


The sweater is also a dress, but I like a little more coverage so I threw on the Essential Jeans from Nyte & Day in stone wash. The shoes are are just something I found tucked in my inventory - I have no clue where they came from. The hair is Maitreya's Lila in ginger. And no, I still haven't taken off my Julie skin from LAQ. I don't see that happening any time soon!

Reale

Today I pulled Reale from my randomizer, which made me very happy. I haven't been over there in a while so the first thing I did was visit the store. And then I bought a few things. And then I tore myself away to concentrate on my blog post.

Reale is one of my favorite SL stores. Maxi dresses have been big for a while in world and I think the ones at Reale are standouts. I love the Floratta dress (here shown in Pansy). It's romantic and pretty but not over the top for a non-gown girl like me. I've put it together with the April skin from LAQ (worn, of course, with their red eyebrow tattoo) and hair that's also from Reale, Francesca in dark red.


For my shopping trip I went with the polka dot bolero top and tank (which is possibly the only cropped top in my inventory) and paired them with Zaara's Mitya shorts in blue and the Ginger boots from Shiny Things. When in doubt, always go with Zaara and Shiny Things! I'm also wearing my Julie skin from LAQ and Maitreya's Dylan hair.
