Cold Chills

In my last post, I showed you some unexpected items from Salt & Pepper; the lovely ornaments available at Tannenbaum. Today I’m back to showing the more expected offerings from Salt: this gorgeous, cuddly coat, also available at Tannenbaum. Not only does it keep away the cold chills, it attracts attention. While I was shooting this photograph I was asked by two different people where I got it. I could sense as soon as I slipped it on that it was a winner, and my experience bears that out.

Something that is a bit more unusual for Annie Melson is this pair of snug boots from *Just BECAUSE* at Uber. While Annie isn’t known for her shoe-making, these certainly are testament to her talent. They fit perfectly and with the flat heels are just what is needed to venture out on an icy, slick path.

These are both just what you need to keep the cold chills at bay.

Them Apples

For those of you on the grid who love the Blueberry Butt (which is probably 98% of females and 107% of males), meet the Apple May Bottom. I admit when I opened the pack of Taylor Pants from Apple May Designs I thought, “Oh, a pair of pants. Big deal.” And then I tried them on. The first thing I noticed was the lace waistband and I squeeeeeed just a little. Then I cammed around and saw the back. And I fell in love. Just look at that bum! This is a pair of pants that should NEVER be worn with a long shirt or jacket! Doing that would be akin to putting a drop cloth over the Mona Lisa.

And these pants are dressy. They are textured in a soft, clingy fabric and have a flared bottom, which covers your shoes (sorry, that didn’t make it past the editing). Paired with this adorably soft and feminine top from TETRA, the open back leads the eye to the highlight of the masterpiece: The Apple May Bottom.

You, too, can have this perfect backside by visiting the Apple May Designs booth at Mesh Body Addicts through December 10. Go ahead; you know you want it!

Ladies and gentlemen of Second Life…how about them apples?
