Whatever Gets You Through Today

The With Love hunt starts today at 4pm SLT! And here's another little taste of Coldlogic's new releases this week, just in case you needed another reason to go!




Pink Fuel is offering us this beautiful Alyx skin for the With Love hunt! I am in love with this skin and the pretty pink makeup on it!

I'm also in love with the new Soto sweater from Coldlogic. It just looks so warm and cozy, and the tied belt gives it just a little extra bit of beautiful.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready to get more stuff!

You Stare Politely Right On Through

More goodies from the upcoming With Love Hunt, and a new release from Coldlogic!




Coldlogic released a few new items yesterday, including the simply lovely Page skirt that I'm wearing. It's a very simple skirt, perfect for pairing up with all kinds of tops and jackets.

DCNY has a wonderful Ruffle Top for the With Love hunt. The ruffles on the chest and arms are mesh, but the rest of the top is texture, so you won't have any problems at all fitting into this!

And look how pretty the White Wood Entertainment Center I'm standing in front of is! This is by Alouette and will be available in the With Love hunt. It's mesh, and only 8 land impact!! Remember back in the day when something like this would almost leave you no room for a house? :)

Remember, the Coldlogic items are out already, and the With Love hunt starts tomorrow!

Good News In A Text!

Oh my goodness! What's this text? It says that the With Love Hunt starts on November 30th! That's great news!!




This is the third year of the hunt, presented by CHIC Management, and let me tell you guys - it's ALWAYS great. I am not very much into hunts, especially hunts where you have to pay for the item, but these items are WELL worth the 10L price tag! Other bloggers and I will be showing you some items here during the hunt, and of course the lovely folks over at Seraphim will have a complete round-up so you will be able to pick and choose which stores you wish to go to. It's a heck of a deal because there are thousands of $Lindens worth of items, but yet even if you get every single one, you'll still pay less than $800L in total!

See you on the hunt!

Dirty or Clean?

I'll admit it, I have a very long nighttime beauty routine! What? You think this kind of face is just natural? No way! Because I spend so much time in the bathroom, I always like to make sure it's clean and neat. My husband, however... well, you know men.




Of course, I'll forgive him. After all, sometimes you just have to get dirty to get clean!

Intervales Theme

I made a joke the other day that I was going to have to start stripping or turning tricks to pay for all the things I want from all the amazing events. And I might still have to, because FAIR is coming!




On September 22nd CHIC Management will open the doors to its new monthly event. The event will focus on a theme of time, each designer being inspired by one of the 24 hours in a day. There will be resident brands (who will alternate each month) and one cycle guest spots which are available to apply for.

CHIC is re-introducing its Fair Pricing Policy (hence the name of the event!) which encourages designers not to reduce the prices of their products in the event, and to ask for a price that they think is fair considering how much work they put into the item.

See you at the FAIR!

Vintage Fair Starts Today!

Vintage Fair 2012 kicks off today! SO EXCITED! I'm short on time this morning, but I just HAD to show you guys a little more stuff!




I know, I'm not usually a redhead, but I was simply called to this color when I put on the Veronica hair by Wasabi Pills! I've been looking for a good Veronica Lake style hair in SL forever, and this one is perfect! Especially paired up with the new Vintage Hollywood skin from Adam n Eve! You get a bunch of lipsticks, eye shadows and nail colors with this skin as well, so you can definitely make your own look.

One Bad Pixel brings us the Vintage dress, and I'm not sure when I'll take it off. It also comes with a smart cropped jacket, which I'm not wearing in the photo but can't wait to pair with many other things! And of course you know SLink never disappoints your feet, and these adorable Vintage Two Strap pumps are so very yum!

Vintage Fair begins at 4pm SLT, and THIS PAGE will give you the map and SLurls. [I'll add the direct fair SLurl to my credits.] Remember, events are VERY VERY VERY LAGGY the first few days, so take off your scripted items and your flexi ball gowns and your crazy wings. No one is looking at you anyway, they just want to see the stuff! Have fun, vintage fans!

Heading Back

We're heading back in time, you guys! Vintage Fair 2012 is almost upon us! I'm sooo excited because this is truly one of my favorite events of the year!




Vintage Fair starts on August 4th, and guess what? There's a Flickr contest this year! You can read all about it on the CHIC Management website, but can I just say that the prizes are outstanding? I mean, the first place winner is going to walk away with over $17,000L in just Lindens alone - PLUS thousands of $Lindens worth of gift cards and prizes! Go to the webpage to check out all the rules and see all the goodies.

I'll have more Vintage Fair posts for you soon, and the SLurl when it opens!

Several Amazing Pixels

I kind of embarrassed myself earlier when the new One Bad Pixel releases were shown. Before I could stop myself, I wrote "I want to lick the dresses!" Who SAYS that? But for real...look how pretty this one is!




I'm wearing the Chryssie Maxi Dress and I'm so in love with it, I might not take it off for a while. It's just so pretty! It has one strap that goes around the back, shows plenty of cleavage, and it's long, but not so long that it's sinking into the ground. I'm barefoot in this photo and the dress just skims the ground. There are a dozen colors and I just KNOW this will be a summer staple!

If you haven't been out to CHIC² yet, go go go! You NEED the Anais 2 hair from Wasabi Pills! I was a huge fan of the first version of this hair with the ponytail, and now I love this version even more!

Oh, and if you didn't know, Zaara is having their annual sale until June 9th! 50% off all items, so head out there and shop! I've been in love with the Indra painted stacked bangles for a long time! And after you hit up the Zaara sale, head to Long Awkward Pose for the final closing sale. It's sad, but at least you can pick up some awesome poses for cheap!

Time for more shopping!

Oh so CHIC!

It's almost time for the CHIC² birthday event to open!! It opens today at 4pm SLT. I'll come back and update this post with the SLurl when it does! It's open now!!!!!




There is a lot of CUTE CUTE stuff out there, as you would expect from a CHIC Management event, so it's definitely not to be missed! The event has 150 of CHIC's best loved stores and each brand will have one new and exclusive (for the duration of the event) item with the theme of CHIC. Also, be sure you're good with your camera. The event area is smallish, but the store pods are stacked in levels. You could fly to each one, but I was able to see everything by just standing in one spot and camming around. And yes, it WILL BE LAGGY ON OPENING DAY. Go in a simple outfit and take off your scripted items. Believe me, no one cares what you look like or how you're walking. They just want to shop!

The CHIC² birthday event starts at 4pm SLT today and runs until June 24th.

Ready For A Fall

Do you ever just stumble upon something and you almost scream with delight because it was JUST what you were looking for, even though you didn't quite know it? That happened to me today! I was actually on the hunt for lingerie to wear with my new Flutter boots from Lassitude & Ennui for the upcoming Back To Black event. In kind of desperation, even though I knew they wouldn't have it, I went to BoHo HoBo. And then I saw it. A Necktie Skirt!!!!




I just fell in love at ONCE. Then, borrowing from my fashion inspiration Aria Montgomery, I put the rest of my look together. It was so easy, especially with the Artilleri Make A Wish necklace and the L'espoir bag from Je Suis, both pieces also from the Back To Black event. Oh, if you get this skirt, be prepared to shrink your butt a little. It's on on the slim side and while it IS mod, I found that shrinking my butt down was easier!

Then I happened to find myself at Sopor Aeternum, a really kind of spooky and haunting place that I will DEFINITELY be going back to! It was creepy and pretty all at the same time!

Namaste

I always get excited for the events put on by Chic Management! They're always well put together with some fantastic designers. The upcoming Back To Black event is no different! Back To Black is an awareness event [not a charity event!] focusing on mental health and other disorders that impact our lives. When I saw the Leisure Outfit by Izzie's, I knew I HAD to put it on. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder over 10 years ago, and relaxation is definitely something that I work for every day!




I am seriously in love with the pants of this outfit! I want 20 pairs! And the lovely tank with the peace symbol flows just right. It's also mod, so if you need to make it bigger or smaller, it's no problem.

Also for the event is the Yoga Studio by Elefantu. This thing is AWESOME!




The picture honestly doesn't do it justice. When I got into it, I felt like I was in a real yoga studio! There are 8 mats with poses, so you and your friends can have a lovely in world yoga session to relax yourselves. It IS a little primmy, at just over 400 prims, but well worth every prim, in my opinion.

Back To Black opens to the public on February 11th. Don't miss it!
