It Was Like A Movie

Cinema is coming on October 13th! Have you heard about this? It's a fabulous new event brought to you by The Hottie Cooterati Experience and is centered around the movies! There are so many fantastic creators taking part, and I know you all will simply love it. Better start saving those $Lindens if you can, because there's going to be a lot to shop for!




Zaara is in Cinema and brings us this just simply lovely Runa dress. It's mesh, of course, and knotted in the front. If you're like me and adore classic styles, this is the dress for you!

If you really can't wait until 13th to spend your money, head over to Collabor88 and pick up the Garden Party set from Cheeky Pea and Pilot! It's SO cool and comes with the table, canopy bench, tree, and bird cages you see behind me, plus a blanket for the ground that is not shown. I truly love this set!

Have a great shopping day!

Switching Signs

The new Zodiac cycle starts tomorrow! [August 23rd] As a Leo-Virgo cusp sign myself, I'm happy to explore my Virgo side this coming month!




Zodiac is a monthly themed sales event centered around, well, the zodiac! Each month a new group of several of your favorite stores will create a brand new item using astrology as their inspiration.

Baby, My Mind Is On Love

You know what I love? Collabor88!! And oh you guys...this month? AMAZING. I know, it's amazing every month. But this month is special because it's the one year anniversary!! Almost EVERY designer who has participated in the past year is BACK for August! I'm so happy! Exclamation points all over the place!! The theme for this month is Baroque, so think jewel colors, drama, and all kinds of richness. You know the C88 designers always bring the most amazing things every month, and this month is certainly no different!

Collabor88 starts tomorrow, August 8th, and I'll definitely be covering more during the month!

Hey baby, what's your sign?

Zodiac is coming! Brought to you by The Hottie Cooterati Experience, Zodiac is a monthly themed event [and that means discounts for you!] and starts with a roar with my favorite sign [because it's my sign!] - LEO!




Elymode made the Leoness mesh skirt for the event and it's really cute! Now I am usually a medium in standard sizing, but I found the medium too big in this skirt, so I'm wearing a small. If you're a little more on the curvy side, try this skirt on. I think you'll find that it's a more generous in the hips than some that are out there.

Glitterati has the Wild pack of poses for Zodiac, and I really like them. But I'm a bit of a pose whore [about 10,000 poses currently take up space in my inventory - possibly more] so I'm ALWAYS happy to add more to the bunch!

Zodiac opens tomorrow, July 23rd [the start of the Leo cycle!] and runs until August 17th. I'll have the SLurl later when I'm allowed to give it out!

Summer BBQ

Lots of goodies this week!




This is the last round of Stumblebum! I know, I'm sad, too! But Stumblebum will be back with a whole new format and it's going to be great! But during this round, stop by DCNY and pick up the Keyhole tops! They are lovely mesh, and the flower is detachable.

Funky Junk is at The Mens Dept this month. The Grill Master BBQ set and the Om Nom Picnic Table are both really awesome! If you sit at the table, there are plates of food you can rez and eat! I love interactive things, so I'm totally happy with it all!

SLink released the Aussie thongs last night and I am soooo happy! I've been looking for new flip flops, but didn't want to have to go through tinting feet again. Since these work with the SLink Natural bare feet, I don't have to tint a thing. They come with both mens & womens sizes, and unrigged modifiable so that you can adjust as necessary.

Oh, and in case you had noooo idea, Hair Fair has started! Wasabi Pills came out with the Ichigo hair and I simply adore it.




Go on, now. You've got some shopping to do!

And the livin' is easy

Another Collabor88 post! This month's round is so amazing, I almost can't stand it.




Kyoot brings us the very pretty Whitehaven Beach Dress, which is partial mesh. For those of you who claim that mesh doesn't fit you, these types of dresses are a great option because the mesh "flap" works so much better than the typical prim flap. I love the lace texture work on the front, and the Garbo Graduated combo necklace from Maxi Gossamer pairs up with this nicely.

Trompe Loeil always does such great mesh skyboxes and the Sunbleached skybox is no exception. It's very well made and simply gorgeous! Plus it will only run you about 60 prims, so if you're looking for a summer home or just a place to get away, this is a great choice.

Collabor88 is open now, so head on over!

So Bleached and So Clean

Awww yeah! Collabor88 for July is starting up! I get so freaking excited for each round because each time, the participating designers just totally bring it! The palette for this month's theme is "Bleached," so it's neutral and gorgeous!






I'm not going to talk too much about the stuff right now just because it's late here, but most of what I'm wearing IS mesh, so if you're STILLLLL not on the mesh train... man, I don't even know what to tell you. When Collabor88 opens up, you HAVE TO GO. Just have to!

Summer Stripes

It's a new month and a new cycle of FaMESHed! If you're a big mesh lover like I am, it's definitely worth checking out!




JANE is in this cycle of FaMESHed with the cute Mellie dress! It's a simply pretty tube dress in some great colors! I chose the Spectrum color because I thought it was the summeryest! [Okay, that's not a word. But you catch my drift.]

You have until July 27th to check out all the goodies at FaMESHed, so head on over soon!

If you haven't been to FaMESHed this month, you need to goooo!




JANE has some cute dresses at FaMESHed for June, like this Mary Ellen dress! It's simple and classic. And yes, this is my 2nd JANE post this week. Y que? :-p

The Fairy Tales event opens on Friday, and from what I can tell, it's going to be a lot of fun shopping! I'm wearing the Princess hair from Wasabi Pills for the event and even though I'm not really a short hair kind of girl, I love it! It reminds me of how my hair was cut back when I was around 21. Cute!

Shindig

I love the 7th of every month for one huge reason... Collabor88 starts the next day!! This month's theme of "Shindig" is a blend of summery citrusy colors that you won't want to pass up!




Chantkare brings us the Shaggylicious mesh sundress. It's a simple dress but the colors in this just POP! Paired up with Ingenue's mesh Jive wedges, also at Collabor88, you have a great summer look!

NOT at Collabor88, the new Harmony chairs from aDORKable Poses! This is such a fun photo prop! There are 5 poses in the chairs and the chairs move around with each pose. I'm sure I'll be on these again soon because seriously? It's just too cute!

Hope you weren't planning on saving your money this weekend because I don't think it's going to happen!

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.

A Blooming Rose

Fashion For Life starts today at noon!! I've been in pink girly heaven with this gown from My Precious by Agnes Finney called Forever Yours.




I don't wear a lot of gowns, but THIS one...WOW! So very impressed! It's like walking springtime, and being this lovely shade of pink, you know I'm very happy to float around in it.

I'm not sure which sim My Precious is on for FFL [I know, bad blogger!] but I'll update this when I get the SLurl. But truly, you should walk around FFL anyway because there's some wonderful stuff out there!

Cheerfully Spring!

So many great deals and sales and events going on! Let me see how much I can smash into one post!

The March Mesh Madness event is going on, and if you're able to get in [it's pretty packed!], you can get this fab Thistle dress from Jane and cute Ginger hair from Wasabi Pills!




Jane is now doing standard sizes, which is a huge WIN for me ever since I modded my shape to fit into the size I wanted. And this dress is so fluffy and adorable, I don't want to take it off! And I am such a fan of Wasabi Pills now that they do mesh hair. This hair is kind of 70s/80s retro with the hairband and it has a low pony tail in the back.

Stumblebum just started its new round yesterday! The theme this time is "Cheer" and the Briar skin from Aura is out in two tones with a couple of makeups. I'm wearing the Aqua makeup to match my dress.




Briar is my everyday skin lately, so new makeups are always nice! The skins this time only come in the Honey and Espresso tones. I'm wearing Honey, and I have to say, I'm really getting attached to it although my normal tone is Milk.

Also for Stumblebum, Frooti has a Happy Days Mini Pack of 3 poses, which I'm using for my post today!

And for SCD's Disco Deals, Dark Mouse has out this delicate Les Etoiles Brillent necklace & earrings set. I am ALWAYS looking for more delicate jewelry, so this fits the bill nicely! I'm wearing the Copper metal here, and it also comes in gold and silver.

So many sales still going on, so I need to run!

Music Of The Night

I am SUCH a fan of mesh clothing, as I'm sure is pretty obvious by now. I was very excited to hear about the Avenue's Mix + Mesh fashion fair! Bunches of mesh in one place? Sign me up! Although this is different than my normal style, I loved the Marta gown by Jador Fashion. So elegant!






I haven't seen a lot of mesh corsets yet, which is a shame because you can see from the photo that you REALLY get a corseted look with mesh! I feel like I should lie on a fainting couch somewhere with my bosom heaving. This outfit also has a very precious little eye mask, and although it's not shown here, it has a little hat! Pretty pretty!

I will say that this gown is truly more suited for photos because the skirt really moves with the legs. While that gives you great effects for photos in some poses, it doesn't quite work with walking or dancing.

Mix + Mesh starts tomorrow, February 25th at 1pm SLT, and lasts until March 11th. You will, obviously, need to be on a mesh enabled viewer to go if you want to get the full effect!

You make me wanna...

The lingerie challenge is over, but that doesn't mean I have to put my clothes back on, does it? It does? Well...how about just half way?




At the Festival of Sin, Elymode has these awesome Lussuria sheer tanks, skirts, and stockings! The skirts have the crotch panel, and you can choose the regular prim version or the part mesh version. The part mesh one means you can edit it slightly, mostly to pull it down in the back. At least, I always end up having to pull them down in these kinds of skirts. My butt is high or something.

GOS came out with these awesome Triumph boots for the Festival, and women were lined up outside his stall before the Festival even fully opened just to get these boots! [And to see Mr. Voom himself!] They are mesh boots but come in two pieces. You get a choice to wear the leg part up like I have it her, or rolled down to show in the inner lining. Or you could always wear just the foot part under some wide legged jeans.

Oh! Let me tell you about this skybox I took my pic in today! Trompe Loeil came out with the Ka'u Beach House skybox and it's AMAZING! It's mesh and it's like a beach house at night, with everything you'd really need right in the box, down to the waves and the moon! Seriously fantastic!

Okay, written enough! :)

In Love With Her Own Reflection

The Festival of Sin is opening on Saturday!! So excited! The seven deadly sims are all represented well and I just know you guys will find something that catches your eye.




Solange brings us the Carnal lingerie, and it is as gorgeous as you would expect from one of Second Life's long time designers. It reminds me of a burlesque costume with the pannier skirt! It also matches the new mesh Khan heels by Ingenue. You can't see it in the picture, but the heels have a tiny row of spikes up the bace of the shoe. My necklace is by Caroline's Jewelry for the Festival and is called Tangled Mess. It really is a tangled little mess of thin chains. It's fabulous!

My pose is from Frooti from the Beautiful Vanity pack for the Festival. It comes with the mirror! Now I really can just run around staring at myself!

The Festival of Sin opens on February 18th at 5pm SLT.

Happy New Bum!

Stumblebum is BACK, baby! This biweekly event made up of some of the grid's best designers has always been one of my favorites in SL. And they certainly got it started off right this time around!




From Illusory, we have the New Year dress. It's a stunning little sparkly mini dress, perfect for parties! My pose is from Frooti, and I can honestly say the poses are just as fun as the store name! Truth has brought us the Velvet hair, which is so flippin' cute and a style I have simply been DYING for!! I'm not wearing them, but there are 2 little color change bows on the curly poofy buns. Oh, you want to see things closer? Okay!




Love this hair so hard!! Also in Stumblebum are these super pretty Real Eyes from Insufferable Dastard. And I absolutely cannot have a post without mesh, so luckily for me Aura has these fab Down Pour earrings!

This round of Stumblebum lasts 2 weeks and all items from the designers are NEW, not recolored previous releases. The prices are a little lower for Stumblebum, but remember it's not a "get your cheap on" type of event. All Stumblebum prices are between 100L-700L. But honestly, they are great prices for great new work, so go get shopping!

Collabor88 For October!

Ooh, I hope you guys didn't plan on saving your money this weekend, because well, you're just not going to be able to! Lots of sales and events going on, like the opening of the October edition of Collabor88!




I'm simply in love with everything this month, and I know you all will be too! Dresses by Ingenue, furniture from LISP Bazaar and Barnesworth Anubis, hair from Elikatira, and loads more... Oh you guys, it's AMAZING!

Collabor88 starts tomorrow, October 8th, so get your $L and go shop!

Collabor88 Again!

Tomorrow is September 8th, and you know what that means! A new edition of Collabor88!! The theme this month is Neons & Neutrals, and one of my favorite stores, Ingenue, put it together beautifully!




The Sedgwick dress is a mod little number that would do Ms. Edie Sedgwick proud. There are also tights that match the dress, but my legs started to look weird to me. I love the colors, though, so I know they'll get used for another outfit! Also to match, the cute cute Bridget flats! I love flat shoes in any life, and I wish I could yank these from my computer and put them on my own feet!

Collabor88 starts tomorrow, and you guys are going to LOVE it!!
