If there's something I love to do, it's looking up at the sky.. Whether it's day or night, sunny or cloudy, raining or snowing.. it's something that's always fascinated me.

It's one of those things where science can give me as many explanations as it wants, and I'll still be in awe.

Now I'm not one of those people who denies that there is a scientific and very valid explanation, I'm just saying that I don't always "get" it. You know what I mean?

At some point in school, we were taught how the moon is not made of cheese, clouds are not cotton candy and stars don't turn off during the daytime. But I like to think that we are allowed to keep a little bit of mystery, cause honestly, life can get boring without it.

In real life, I'm one of those people who likes answers to everything, and as I've mentioned before, the words "Just because" are ones I truly despise, but I think the sky is one thing I can live without knowing everything about.

So we'll conclude that we don't need to know about that, but you should definitely know about the brand new Forecast Flipflops by .:Buttery Toast:.

While being exclusive at the new round of Cosmopolitan Sales Room, these brilliant flipflops for the Slink flat feet, can be yours for only 99L.

When the round is done, they'll still be available at the mainstore, but the price will be raised. So hurry down to CSR before the 2^nd of august to get them at the introductory price.

There is a lot of awesome features when it comes to this item.

Firstly, every version includes a male version! So yes, if you're a guy, you can get these as well.

Secondly, they come in a sun, rain, snow, clouds and rain version, includes a hud with 7 base colours and a whole bunch of textures for the strap.

So if you're unhappy with the weather outside, ain't this just the perfect way to make your own choice? ;)

If You Liked It, Then You Should Have Put A Ring On It

When it comes to accessories, I have to admit, I'm a sucker for rings. From simple silver bands to big fake jewelry, I don't care. If they fit on my finger, I'll wear them proudly.

When I was younger, like maybe 13-15 years old, I would wear a ring on each and every finger, cause in my brilliant teenage mind, I thought that would look stylish.

Here's a free tip for ya... It doesn't.

As I'm getting older, I've taken a much more simple approach to jewelry of any sort. I have two silver rings that I never take off. They've been on my right ringfinger for at least 5 years, and yes, I do check regularly that they haven't grown overly attached to my skin. 

When I was 7, I got my ears pierced, and as time's gone by, I've got a few more holes added in my lobes.

When I was 19, I did something that I'd never imagine doing in a million years. I got my tongue pierced. 

Even though I was an adult and living on my own, a part of me was terrified to tell my parents. So I go home to visit them, and I show them the piercing. I still remember my mother's shocked voice saying, "Penny?? Why did you do that to your tongue?"

And somehow, my brain managed to come up with, "I liked it, so I put a ring on it".

Speaking of rings, .:Buttery Toast:. have taken Yara further, and released a ring to match their headband. Available in 7 different colours and comes with a colour changing HUD for the inner wings. I went with pink and changed the inner wings to yellow so it would match my nails. 

You also want to check out the new round of Cosmopolitan Sales Room, starting tomorrow the 23rd of June. For the next two weeks, you'll be able to get the pink or orange (light and dark version) of the Dolly Keys, for only 70 Lindens.

You don't wanna miss it, so make sure you grab the offer before it ends.

Scrumptious

When I was a kid, my favourite dress was a pink one that my grandfather gave me for my birthday. It was my most priced possession for years and when I grew out of it, I was so heartbroken, I told my mom I wanted to be little again so I could wear it.

Growing up, that dress has always been one that I'd think back to, especially after my grandfather died, and wished I could wear just one more time... And now I've managed to find one in Second Life that actually resembles it a little bit. 

How awesome is that? XD

So thank you to .Atomic. for bringing back happy memories. This dress comes in four different colours with a matching ice cream cone handbag, and can be found at this round of Chapter 4.

Sidenote: I'm got hungry just typing that #nomnom 

As you can probably tell, I am once again wearing Yara's Band from .:Buttery Toast:. but wait, something is different isn't it?

You're absolutely right something is different.

For the new round at Cosmopolitan Sales room, Mama Toast have made the exclusive white and black band.

Of course, it comes with the colour hud that lets you change not only the band and ribbon but ALSO the body of the butterfly this time, to either white, black or green.

Have you already bought the previous bands in-store? Well then just remember that the band and ribbon options will work with these as well, so you can create a butterfly that is unique to you.

The black and white Yara's Band are only available until the 21st of June at CSR, so make sure you grab them before they go bye bye.

Speaking of being scrumptiously delicious.. 

.:Buttery Toast:. has a brand new group gift for its members. 

Toast rings and earrings! Yeah, you heard me.. They come in a butter, jam and chocolate version and are just the most adorable little pieces of special jewelry.

I honestly don't wear a lot of earrings in SL cause my ears are usually covered anyway, but with these, I just had to find a hair that made it possible for me to show them off.

So do yourself the favor of hurrying down to the mainstore and join the group. XD

*I am very happy to announce that the talented Ianto will be joining "Fabulous and Something". Writing for a blog is new to him, and I hope you'll all welcome him with open arms and admire

his photo skills and overall quirkiness as much as I do.

It is also about time for the blog to see some changes style wise, and that is something I'll be working on in the posts to come. I apologize in advance for any weird looking sentences.

Much Love,

Mad (Wo)Men

In the late 70's, the Annie Hall look was sweeping the nation. Forget the skirt, 
Forget the frills, forget the typical gender role and put on a damn suit girl, cause you can
make it look stunning.

Every day, women make an impact on the World. We are not weak nor lesser than any man.
So celebrate, and be happy.. You're a daughter, girlfriend, wife, mother and most important of
all... You are YOU.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ♥

Thank you to Glo from Bubblefish for the collaboration on this post, inspired by women everywhere. MWah.
