Pretty Portia is picture perfect.

Say that three times fast!

Darling Monday has released the Portia heels with legwarmers for the January round of Collabor88. Because they’re from fri.day, you know they’re the highest quality and fit for your Maitreya Lara or Slink Physique body. There are 9 shoe colours, each with 8 different legwarmer colours in a HUD. They are sure to go with just about anything in your wardrobe.

The latest mainstore release from Blueberry is the Sera dress with sweater. I’m probably not telling you anything new; I’ve seen this dress in dozens of blog and Flickr photos, but when something looks as good as this combo, you can’t blame a girl for wanting to trot it out frequently.

Don’t waste time getting your tongue all twisted; spend it getting into Collabor88!

Gulp.

Yes, I realise this photo is a bit more risque than I normally publish on my blog, but I really wanted to find a way to showcase this harness from Salt & Pepper for the upcoming round of ROMP. It is very delicate and pretty and if you are the harness-wearing type, you really must have it.

This isn’t the shot I originally intended. It started out as just me, the rug and the tree. However, after some very careful pose editing and creative camera angling to cover my bits, I realised I needed to move the rug. Unfortunately, when I attempted to do that, it moved me (silly woman! I should have used my LUMIPro pose stand before editing my pose!). That meant I had to bring in Chance to move stuff for me. But once I had the rug and tree in the right location, I noticed I had a lot of negative space in the left side of the photo. I still had the Apple Fall wall on my platform from my shoot yesterday, so I had him drag it over to fill the space. That’s when I decided to stick him in the doorway and include him in the photo. I did a bit more editing of my head position (throwing it back), tossed on my LeLutka head, closed my eyes, opened my mouth and I transformed what was originally a rather PG photo into the R-rated version you see here.

I think having a male alt brings out the voyeuristic side of me.

Gulp. Again.

The cuteness factor of the things in this photo is off the charts! So many adorable, cuddly things to talk about…

I’ll start with the boots from Apple May Designs. Fur, pearls and bows are a perfect combination to place them in the cuteness category. Available at Cosmopolitan, they come in white or black and are adorably priced, as well.

Next up is the snuggly jacket from {amiable}. I can feel the warmth just looking at it and the big bow is super cute. You need to hurry a bit to pick this up at Wayward Market, which closes on January 10th.

And what about my long little buddy there? I had to get to TMD to grab this little dauchshund from [sau]. Having once been owned by a little doxie, I was enraptured by the spunky character of these dogs captured so perfectly. Such personality!

While I was there, I went absolutely nuts over the pose props from Toro. Be sure you check them out; there are two different sets, or you can grab both in a fatpack.

I’ve blogged the kittens from JIAN before, but they are well-worth bringing out again. Especially because in true cat-like fashion, they are completely ignoring the rules 😉
