Purple Moon is known for creating the most beautiful gowns on the grid. For this years FFL, Purple Moon will release 3 exclusive purple gowns. I am showing my personal favorite, the Marzia gown. I styled it with the gorgeous new “Crazy in love” hair from Exile and the beautiful Amberly skin from Glam Affair.

Stay tuned for more on FASHION FOR LIFE!

I know I am running a bit behind with the 50 shades of sexy challenge, but since I love it so much I still wanna try and keep up!

I struggled a lot with the “Pour some sugar on me”  theme.  Lots of ideas but not very inspired to make them appear in a picture.

The big 5-0 is finally here,
Yes, you’re turning 50 this year.
50 years of hopes and dreams,
Rainy days, and golden sunbeams,
Turning 50 is not so bad, it seems.

Take a look back on all you’ve achieved so far.
A family that loves you, and thinks you’re a star,
Friends who have proven themselves through the years,
By standing beside you through laughter and tears.
Turning 50 is really quite good, it appears.

Because You’re 50
F is for how fabulous everyone thinks you are.
I is for how interesting all your experiences have made you.
F is also for the fun you bring into everyone’s lives.
T is for how the tender way you show people that you care.
Y is for just being you, the person that everyone adores.

***50 linden Birthday SALE!!! (only today)

I really enjoyed seeing Portia‘s blogpost about “that look”, that we all set as default and that we use to start our styling adventures with.

It’s where you start, imagining your nails are perfect, your hair is tied back and you’re staring into a mirror, or your closet, wondering what the heck you’re going to wear today.

Just like Portia I am using Firestorm viewer, in wich I can save my many looks.  I have named this look “default” and use it as my Base Zero most often.

Being the skinjunkie that I am, I change looks often, but no matter how often I change, I keep going back to this look…
I guess we all find a shape and skin eventually that we just feel most comfortable in.

I look forward see more of you post pics of their Base Zero!
