La Bella Vita: Well worth the wait!! New Collection from TDR

I am absolutely humbled and proud that this will be my first post as a syndicated blogger for Virtual Fashion Feed. Thank you to all the new readers out there. I hope you enjoy what I am trying to do.

Well, this week was a slow week for me with posting for the blog. Just a lot of SL and RL stuff that stopped me from posting. But I have some lovely treats that I have found. The Dressing Room put out their new collection for this week and I just adored almost everything in it!! INCLUDING a SKIN (as I stated in the past, I am not a girl who changes skins often, I have had my Martina Skin from LAQ for almost a year and I still love it). As for the hair featured in all of these pictures...It's Inverted in Pitch from LeLutka. I paid full price for it and I am COMPLETELY in love with the style. Thanks to my fabulous friend Elise for clueing me into it (psstt go check out her fashion blog while your at it, she's wearing the hair in a honey shade.. Elise:Confidential

When I saw this dress at the Dressing Room this week, I knew I had to get this skin to go with it. It's funky and fun.

Sometimes, even in SL, you just want to be COMFORTABLE. But you still want to look like the fabulous fashionista you are. This lace embellished sweater is perfect to wear the day after a night out clubbing, a wedding or just for a Lazy Sunday. It goes perfect with my La Estrella 603 jeans, which are my favorite. (1. cause they look amazing and 2. cause I got them for only 10L during the With Lo\/e From.../Happy Holidays hunts). The flats were from a past collection at The Dressing Room Blue (I believe they are still there as of this original publishing date) And when I say I'm not a builder, here is the proof. The box I am sitting on is the extent of my building abilities. And I am quite proud of it.

Now the point of this blog isn't just the free or discounted items in SL (which is why you will probably never see anything in this Blog that's from a Mania Board or a Lucky Chair). It's how to find HIGH quality items that are free or discounted. I'm not saying items found on the boards or the chair aren't, but they are honestly few and far between. It's also a fact on SL, that for some items, you have no choice but to pay full price or pay more to get the quality you want. Just like in RL, a lot of the time, if it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Well, I searched the Grid and I searched the Marketplace for a pair of decent bare prim feet. And I came to the conclusion that if I wanted the seamless look, I would have no choice but to shell out the Linden. AND I AM SO HAPPY I DID. While they are NOT flat feet, the N-Core Feet (that's what they are called) are so worth the 495L I spent on them. As someone who always wears light skins, I am also super excited that I was able to match them perfectly with the extremely easy to use HUD and styling NC. And since I saved so much money on the shirt, necklace and pants from The Dressing Room, I didn't feel so guilty spending the money on my fabulous new feet (Cause everyone knows that SL System feet are GROSS!) Also, these pictures are NOT photoshopped. The feet really are that seamless.
