Of green, pink and vanity

Yes, Moniq is wearing pink today. It's rather unusual, but I loved the idea of an apple-green dress with pink accessories.
The pretty dress is a new release by ColdLogic for March Mesh Madness. Also mesh is the Exile hair.
The pink jewelry set (it also comes in black/silver) is by Caroline's Jewelry and is available at a promo price at Disco Deals this weekend. The shoes are Chandelle's item for the Tropicalia Bazaar.
The skin on Moniq is the latest group gift by Exodi. There's a L$750 join fee for the group right now.

Bowling in my ligving room

That's what you do when you get bored!
Moving on a bit from all Back to Black (not completely though) to the Love Gatcha, to show you some cute and very affordable stuff available there. Such as this Aura mesh dress, L$20 a pop, and the bowling poses by Status.

Of course, this post includes some B to B previews, such as this lovely skybox by Designer Prims - it comes with a lot more furniture, but I have a huge prim shortage due to someone's rezzing bikes and stuff :p
Also Black to black items are this beautiful Heartsick skin and the Serenity necklace by Caroline's Jewelry.
The earrings are a newish release by Undefined Lilies and the hair is new by Tameless. The pants and underneath top are part of a catsuit by Sassy.

Never let you down

More about Back to Black ... and I must say I liked the little note included by creators in their pack, talking about their own experiences with mental health disorders and also the "Did you know ..." cards.

Let me just show you one of those:
"The main characteristic of generalised anxiety disorder is a constant feeling of worry that seems uncontrollable as there doesn’t seem to be any reason for it. This worry can affect daily functioning and lead to withdrawal from social situations or fear of going to work. For a diagnosis to be made, worry must be present more days than not, for at least 6 months.

Let's not close our eyes on people who are isolating themselves.

 More, more ... much more pics after the cut.

New cat on board. In style.

Look, the cat brought a new blogger! I hope you like my face, because you'll see me post here once in a while :)
And with only a few hours before the hottest event of the month opens, I have for you a sneak peek of Vintage Fair. There are about 200 designers with exclusive items, from steampunk to disco, going through the golden years of vintage, the 20s and the 60s. And many creators also prepared gifts for shoppers. Here's a mix of VF items for you:

This look was inspired by the Vanity Affair dress by Alexohol. While simple, the dress is elegant and comfortable and it's a perfect choice for a vintage lady who plans to go out for a coffee on a sunny afternoon. That lady would also choose this vintage tote by House of Fox and the Sway huge summer hat (and this one is a VF gift). Luckily, she is living in SL so high heels are not a problem for her feet. She would gladly wear the Plain Jane pumps by Cool Beans to complete the look.
Of course, a delicate piece of jewelry is a must for a posh vintage lady, and a pearl is a woman's best friend (no, I don't believe in that story about the diamonds). The Pearl Drop necklace by Caroline's Jewelry is just what she needed.
