Ooh la la, Paris, c’est manifique!

August 28, 2014 by Calleja Fairey 1 Comment

It’s been a little while since I was last in Paris, so I thought that today would be a good day to take a stroll around the city. Of course, with Paris being the fashion capital of the world, I needed to look my best. Lucky for me, I had a few great group gifts that made me totally look the part.

My bright and summery dress came from a hot tip from Love, about this cute dress being offered as a group gift at CandyMetal. I ran my little booty over there, and knew I had to have it, I mean…just look at that red! The Peggy Summer Dress is mesh, and comes in the standard sizes. The CandyMetal group is free to join, so once you join, and slap your tag on, this beauty is yours, for free, after touching the poster. I just love the sweet bow on the chest.

Speaking of bows, the killer heels I am wearing are also adorned with bows 🙂 The .:ECCO:. Velize 2 in White are a SLF&O’s group gift. These are made for SLink high feet, and there is a second version in the folder that comes without bows, just in case you don’t like bows…but how could you not? The SLF&O’s group is free to join, and if you have your tag on, the shoes are free for you! If you love these shoes, you will be happy to know that there is a second pair available for free for members of our very own Fabulously Free in SL group, which is also free to join (though I am sure most of you reading this blog are already in it). 2 free pairs of sexy heels, just for being in groups you are probably already a part of? *does a happy dance*

*Edit – So sorry folks, when I originally posted this, I thought there was a version for standard AV feet as well, but I am mistaken, so I have removed the part where I said that. Sorry for any inconvenience.

OK, while I loved the look of the shoes and dress alone, I felt, trying to be very fashion conscious, that I needed an accessory. I hopped onto the Marketplace and typed in ‘Clutch’. I know, this cute little purse is not a clutch purse, but that’s ok, the bright colours totally worked with my dress, and best of all? It was only L$1! Score! The My Heart Bag – Dollarbie is from the Marketplace store of Things I Like, and there really is an awful lot of things I like there. You get 2 purses in the folder, each with a slightly different holding pose. Both are set to attach to your right hand, I just did a little adjustment to put it in my left hand so as to work with my pose.

I confess, while I am wandering around Paris, it is actually Paris in 1900. So, despite being fashionable for our time period, I stick out a little. Luckily, landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, and the Arc D’Triumphe are timeless. I highly suggest you come take a look around here if you have never been.

Mes bons amis, il est temps de se dire au revoir, which is french for, My good friends, it is time to say goodbye. Well, at least until I find some other wonderful thing I have to show you all, which will be in no time at all! So until then, c’est tout pour le moment, which is about the same as TTFN *waves*
