A Sad Day

look at this adorable totoro!

He TOTALLY griefed me :(

The Best Necklace EVER... and it is free!

I am a sucker for cameos: chokers, lockets, earrings, broaches... you could probably even sell me a blinging cameo. And I thought i had collected every variety until I found this cameo locket with pearls by Caroline's Jewelry. And if there is one thing that rivals my love of cameos it is my love of pearls.
And, so I am in heaven. This necklace is by far my favorite accessory of all time. And, believe it or not, it is Free! Free. I'll say it again... free. All you have to do is IM Caroline to be added to her group.

I have never received a freebie I have loved so much. And I can't say enough about it. It is lovely and delicate and it is a real working locket! It opens and closes AND you can put a real picture inside! Awesome!!!

It is permanently glued to my chest so you will see a lot of it, but here's a closeup (pardon the boobage):

In addition to this locket, Caroline's has a bunch of other beautiful cameo lockets and other great items. Come visit the shop in Lo Lo.

You'll be glad you did!

SL on CSI New York (lol)

For a good laugh and an incredibly inaccurate portrayal of Second Life, check out the CSI New York episode "Down The Rabbit Hole."


The White Rabbit... lol. Would have been better as a tiny.

Sleepy Hollow & a Grim Babies Halloween

Everyone seems to be talking about Halloween and places to visit in SL. One place I haven't seen mention that I think should be is Grim Babies in Sleepy Hollow.




This place is an absolute Halloween delight. Spooky yet pleasant, Grim babies offers Halloween thrills both of the shopping variety and the activity variety.



As far as shopping goes, this is a great place to pick up a costume, decorative pumpkins, monster party dance balls, all things doll, spooky monsters and animated scenes to decorate your home and shop, and (of course) Grim Babies. What are Grim Babies? Well, they are like prim babies with a morbid twist. And there is an amazing variety here.



I really like the pumpkin carving kit, the interactive apple bobbing stand, and the ghoststory-telling haystacks.





When you've had your shopping fill, check out the Grim Babies Haunted Orphanage for a creepy adventure.

a creepy voice whispers cryptic antidotes at you as you wind you way through blood-spattered dormitories, cafeterias, human experiment labs, and padded rooms.

And then it starts getting weird...

weirder...

and weirder still...

I don't want to ruin all of the surprises for you, but I will say that the maze is really intense.

Don't forget to pick up a Grim Babies Orphan outfit, IV & survivor t-shirt at the front desk.

Asylum chic!

New Blog!!!!

The Argyle Boutique Blog is up and running!!!! Check it out!!!

Sleep now...

I guess the new release will have to wait until tomorrow.

OMG I'm alive.

I can't believe it has been a month since I have last checked in. Time goes by so quickly when you are busy. And I have been busy.

Doing what? Well...

I was the face of Sh*t happens for September! Whoo Hoo! You can see me in the ads at the Sh*t happens New main store!

I was also one of the winners of the Second Style Diversity Challenge! Um... haven't heard back about what, if anything, happens due to that. You'll know when I know.

But most importantly....

I"VE OPENED A STORE!!!!!!!!!!

I am now the proud owner of Argyle boutique. Simple, elegant fashion and accessories. So far I have scarves, sweaters, gloves, bangles, and a jacket for sale with much more to come!!!!!

Here I am at my first store in the beautiful Doll City:

And here I am at my new main store at the quaint shops of Boootiful Creations:

My main store will have more designs and color choices. I have so much planned and will be releasing regularily. I will also be starting an update group soon and a new blog for the store. I will maintain this blog (and pinky promise to update more regularily now that I have both shops set up) but this will still be for talking about other designers, places, and things I learn on SL. I will post a link to the new blog here when it is up and running.

Right now I have a limited edition pink and black argyle scarf available as a grand opening freebie. Stop by, look around, and grab your free scarf before it is gone!!!!

Goodwin and the first hint of autumn

The evenings are getting colder now and the breezy outfit you picked out for the warm day may not be enough come twilight.

It's time to pull cardigans and jacket out of the deep recesses of your inventory, time to trade sandals for boots, and above all, it is time to adorn your lovely collar with the best accessory of them all: the scarf.

Presenting the Goodwin scarf set by yours truly. Named after a notoriously blustery street in my town, the Goodwin scarf will keep the chill off your neck from the dawn of autumn into the deep recesses of winter. The Goodwin scarf is a semi-flexi fine knit scarf that has three styles in one! Above you can see the basic scarf which wraps cozily around the neck and shoulders with asymmetrical tails. Perfect for autumn picnics and walks in the park.

Autumn breezes sometimes turn into gales, and the Goodwin scarf has you covered!

The Goodwin scarf has a chilly nights attachment that reached above the lips to keep the biting wind off your face. The extension is a separate attachment that is worn on the lips so your face won't poke through. Extra cozy, the second style of the Goodwin scarf is great for late-night walks through the city or anytime you desire to be incognito.

And when the first frost descends unexpectedly, the Goodwin scarf has another trick up it's sleeve. The Goodwin headwrap keeps your ears warm and dry during the heaviest snowfall.

The Goodwin headwrap is cozy without being cartoonish or bulky and accommodates many hairstyles. Furthermore, it can be worn with or without the chilly nights extension. Versatile!!

The Goodwin scarf set contains three pieces: the scarf, the extension, and the headwrap. It features a dainty dots and floral pattern that is tintable to match any outfit (it is tinted green in the pictures here) . It is also modable, so the size of the pieces and gravity of the flexi-bits can be adjusted to your liking. It can be bold or demure depending on how you tint it and it is always lovely. Also, it is great for any Harajuku outfits you might be creating!!!

It only comes in one pattern now, but i think I will make a few others as I am fond of this creation and may (perchance) sell it someday. I'd love to know what you think, so if you have any constructive criticism please don't hesitate to let me know.

As always,
Noelle
