Earthstones has come out with some fantastic jewelry lately and I felt compelled to buy it.  The heart in its cage, with the key and lock dangling is so intricate and well done, I love it.  It comes in silver and gold, and with red or black hearts.  It’s transferable as well, so if you want you can buy it for that special girl in your life.  I’m also wearing a new dress from Blaze called Flirt, in Sangria.

Elate sent out a free dress in honour of this sadistic holiday, and it’s ultra cute with the heart print covering the front of it.  Also worn is another new heart-themed jewelry set from Earthstones, and the brand new gorgeous hair from Fri.day in Jealous Red, Marie.  Rounding off the heart overload is Dutch Touch‘s Sjors skin in Pip Valentine.

And finally, my good friend Surrealia of ANA_Mations is marking down couples items in her store for 24 hours at a time, and this is the second item, her Conversation Heart chair.  This is only L$100 but it won’t last long!  It has three animations in it, and at least a dozen different textures/messages on the back.  And it’s shaped like a heart!  How perfect is that?

Phoenix Rising has some really gorgeous gowns, and I can’t believe I hadn’t ever heard of them until a couple of months ago.  I completely missed out on these beautiful dresses when they were released, but I’m definitely caught up now!  Natasja’s Seduction is lovely gown with a huge black skirt, and the bodice comes in several colours.  Now, while I do work for Phoenix Rising, I wouldn’t blog anything or work anywhere I didn’t love.  And the key necklace comes with the dress.  And I love key necklaces.

I know I’ve blogged the Icing Joli Bouquet dress before because I absolutely adore it.  I own every colour now, and I wish there were more!  I love the train especially, though if you’re not a fan of trains, it comes with a skirt without the train.  The roses at the waist are a perfect embellishment as well.

I recently bought the Ingenue Harlow dress for a different blog post, but I had to pull it from that one to instead blog it for my top five picks.  It’s different, bold and infinitely gorgeous.  I need to go back and get the rest of the colours now.  I wasn’t sure how much I loved it when I saw it and only got the one colour!

I used to work for Blaze as a greeter.  In fact, it was the first job I ever had in SL, and I got it about a month after I rezzed.  It saved me from having to do any of the standard things some people do to make money, like stripping or working in a hideous club.  I’m really not a big fan of clubs in SL.  The only one I ever liked was Seven Ultra Lounge.  Anyhow….the Gem gown is my all-time favourite one.  Look how sexy it is from the front and the back!  Blaze is a master at gowns, and I miss him being around and releasing more pretty stuff!

Now, I know that was my top five, but I couldn’t do a gowns post and not mention Last Call.  I know Last Call is gone, and Ginny too (may he rest in peace), but there was a reason Last Call went out on top.  The gorgeous texturing and details, the prim work…all spectacular.  I know a lot of people have maybe gotten rid of their Last Call items, but those people are nuts.  Or maybe I’m a packrat.  Whatever.  I will never get rid of any of it, never!

Well, it took me more than a week.  It may have taken me more than two weeks.  But my top five in seven different categories series is finally finished yay!  Now I just have to finish my series on shoes over on On Your Toes, and then I won’t feel like such a blogging slacker.
