Let's get away

I don't know about you guys, but I would love to just get away for a weekend! But since I can't, SL is the next best thing. Especially with all the newness this weekend!!




For Lazy Sunday today, you can stop over at Ingenue and pick up this really cute Little Angel t-shirt. It even has little wings drawn on the back. So precious! There are other designs and colors as well, so run over quickly! And of course a weekend isn't complete without something new from Truth. The new Bree hair is gorgeous! A side swept long long ponytail, Truth is awesome and did both regular and split attachments. Of course, you might not need the split attachments if you use the new Hairy Situations long hair poses from Long Awkward Pose! More long hair poses, please!!

Oh, do you like the house I'm standing in front of? You want to see more?




For the Knitting Circle Bake Sale this weekend, you can get the My Getaway house from Funky Junk. It's SO freaking cute! It's tiny, just the perfect size for a cozy beach getaway. I'm showing the stilted version, which comes in at a small 83 prims. If you're not one for stilts, the included non-stilted version is just 68 prims. It has a 7x13 footprint, so even a 512 parcel of land can carry it off. Buy it!

I have to go hem pants. Jealous?

At Last

I will admit, now that most of what I had to do this month is over, I'm getting wedding fever! And you know who else is getting wedding fever? Kouse Singh of Kouse's Sanctum! She has a good reason, though. She's getting married on July 16th!! YAY!! To celebrate this, she has a big big sale in the bridal department of her shop!




Kouse really does amazing work, and even if you're not getting married NOW, you should still go pick up some wedding gowns since they're only $75L! Yes, that's right! I'm wearing the Lynet gown in this photo, and it's just so so pretty!! White is one of my favorite clothing colors to wear but it's not always easy to find good crisp white in SL. Kouse is amazing with it, though!

So please join me in saying a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Kouse on her upcoming marriage! And then YOU go to Kouse's Sanctum and shop!

Livin' La Vida Pink!

Are you as much as a prefab addict as I am? I simply cannot resist when I see a little house or skybox that I like! When Funky Junk owner Ulaa Coronet decided to bring out one of her best selling homes in pink for Valentine's Day, and then slapped a $50L tag on it... well, you can imagine how excited I was!






Eeee! It's so cute! This is a recolor of her Quaint home, so it's named My Quaint Valentine. I could just squeal over the cuteness, but you probably want details, am I right? This house has a 6 by 16 footprint and is 72 prims. Ulaa is awesome [and I don't say that just because she's my partner!] and she's included some matching accessories - table, chairs, texture change rug, fireplace facade with the flower basket, and a window flower box. Altogether, it comes out to just 132 prims! And of course you can not use the accessories, if you don't want to. The house is copy only, no mod and no transfer. For only $50L, it is a heck of a deal!

Go to Funky Junk now!! This deal is only available through Valentine's Day. I'll be showing you another of the new homes from Funky Junk that is near and dear to my heart later this week, so keep an eye out!

I can't name all the furniture that I put into this house, aside from the accessories that are included, but here are some of the stores where you can go shop for some of what is shown:

Awesome Blossom
LISP Bazaar
Art Dummy
Little Boxes
Artilleri

Dance It Out!

Do you watch Grey's Anatomy? Sometimes the girls [and guys] dance it out after an especially hard day. Just put on the music and DANCE. This is something I've done for years and I recommend it highly. If you head over to Belle Belle today, you can pick up something to help you dance it out, too!




Belle Belle has been doing a Valentine's week type thing and every day there's something new for just $50L. I love a great deal, don't you? Today's item is the Love FM radio, and oh, is it ever cute! It's pre-programmed with several radio stations that you can listen to on your land, and of course if you have a favorite stream, you can add it to the radio. I had to deed it to my land group to get it to change my radio, but it was super easy. Once I got it set up, I was ready to dance it out!

Head over to Belle Belle and get your radio. Even if you don't use it for changing streams, it's still cute for your home decorating!

“Fashions, after all, are only induced epidemics."

Oh hi! I hope everyone had a great weekend and holiday! There's this little event going on called One Eleven. I know, right? Hardly anyone has talked about it. ;) Check out my boots and hair from this event!




At One Eleven, the designers have created one or more limited edition items. There are, you guessed it, just 111 copies of the items, and once they're gone, they're gone. This does mean that most of them cost quite a bit more than people come to expect since they are brand new items and will not be sold again. But I guess that's the price you pay for limited editions. My horchata de amor, Sophia Harlow, treated me for my rezday and I was able to get these amazing Paperboy boots from Surf Couture and the Seasons hair from Elikatira. I'm in love with both!!

There are a bunch of fab designers at One Eleven, so do yourself a favor and go check it out. Some items have already sold out, but there is still lots to buy!

Halloween Hunt For Autism Starts Monday!

The Halloween Hunt For Autism begins on Monday, and I really hope all of you take part! You can find fab Halloween items, such as this Creepy Fireplace Facade from Funky Junk!




This hunt does require a $50L donation to get started, with the money collected going to Autism Speaks. Head to the starting point and pay your $50L. You'll receive trick or treat bag to wear and the landmark for your next location. Be sure to wear your bag to get your treats! I believe there are 50 stores participating, but don't quote me on that.

Normally I don't endorse many hunts, but this one means a great deal to me. Two of my best friends have autistic children, and even though I have seen their daily struggles, I cannot imagine what it is they truly go through. Pay your $50L, get some good stuff, and help out a great cause. It's win win. :)

Today's Gaze - Golden Goodies

I'm not always a huge fan of gold. But give me some pretties for free or cheap, and I'll change my mind pretty darn quick!




I'm simply in love with the new Delphines from much loved Shiny Things! If you're a member of the subscriber group, head to the store and pick up your free gold Delphines. And check out the other new shoes, too! Oh Shiny Things, thank you for coming back to us.

I showed newness from Jane on Friday, but what I didn't mention is that there are a bunch of free Intrinsic Tanks for the taking! I have a great love of basic tanks, as I'm sure lots of us do, so getting these for free is just amazing!

At fri.day, there's a little corner with some discounted products, and I was able to score a 24.7 pack of the Short Cardis for less than $300L! You get 12 colors and there are options for shorter sleeves [like I'm wearing], long sleeves, and some different cuff options. Wonderful! Not discounted at fri.day, but still pretty inexpensive, I also picked up these Low.Rise jeans in the light wash.

You've probably heard of the 10-10-10 sale that's going on, but if you haven't, check out Callie Cline's blogpost on it. I was able to get this adorable Padma updo by hair machine Truth for just $110L. Oh, did I mention it's a FATPACK for that price? Oh yeah, you need it.

And one of my favorite finds at the Jewelry Fair, I got this I Love Autumn jewelry set from Primagine for less than $100L. Cute cute cute!

Okay, I know, I got long winded. Go shopping now!!

Never Can Say Goodbye

Whenever Ashoka Eales pops into my IM with, "Hey beautiful!" I always know something good is coming. But last night...sadness! Phoenix Rising is closing its doors! I am really down about it and keep hoping it's not true. But, since it is, you can take advantage and hit up their 100L closing sale before the store is gone and pick up cute new things, like the Oda shirt and the Mona pants.




This shirt is just so so lovely. I adore the big ruffled collar! The fit is just perfect, I didn't have to adjust a single thing, which is usually not the case as far as prims go! I'm wearing it in black [hey, I'm in mourning!] but there are other colors available.

The Mona pants are nice, basic pants with a button fly. There are also 3 styles of prim cuffs available, which is awesome for when you want a different look or want to wear them with different shoes. I'm wearing them in Grey, and there are other colors as well.

Go hit up the sale and load up on goodies before Phoenix Rising closes. And let's cross our fingers that this isn't really a closing - it's more of a "We'll see you later" type of thing!

Spruce Up Your Beach With Belle Belle!

Calling all lifeguards! This month's Spruce Up Your Space theme is "Beachy Keen," and this weekend you can pick up this Naughty Lifeguard Tower from Belle Belle for just $150L!!




The tower sits up to 10 avatars, and there are special couples animations, too! *wink wink nudge nudge* Hey, they don't call it Naughty for nothing!

The Naughty Lifeguard Tower is copy/no modify, and comes in at 178 prims. It's a must for your summer beach! Go this weekend and get it at Belle Belle!

I like my tea sweet

When I heard that the Project Themeory theme this weekend was "Time For Tea," my thoughts immediately went to a nice tall glass of sweet iced tea on a hot summer's day. But you know, I am a Texas girl, and that's just how it's done. Based on the items I've seen so far, the theme is more traditional with the cups of hot tea. But when I saw Exodi's Tea Time dress, I was again in the summer mood, because this dress is just light, airy, and oh-so-elegant for the summertime.




Gorgeous, isn't it? Ryker did just the right thing with letting the top of the dress be fairly low cut and sleeveless [sexy!], but letting the rest of the dress fall to just below the knee so that you're not showing off so much leg [modest!]. That is the way to do it! The lace print is lovely and there is a very cute bow on the back of the dress.

Tea Time in Pure is $75L for Themeory this weekend only, but there are other colors available at the Exodi mainstore for regular price.

Speaking of Themeory, I'm standing in front of the Shabby Tea House by Molto Bene, which is also $75L this weekend only. It's too cute, so you need it!

Actually, you might need all the Themeory stuff this weekend, so go shopping now!

A Mischievous Cherry

Oh, I just adore the color pink. Just LOVE it! But that's to be expected as I am pretty much a huge girly girl. When I saw the notice from Cherry that they had an exclusive color of the new Rosario flats, and that the color was Glittery Pink, well...you know I had to RUN to get them!

Okay, so that's a lie. I didn't run anywhere, I got them on XStreet. But you get the point.

I paired them up with this just adorable new dress from Mischief called My Best Girl. So cute!




This cute little sundress does have a sculpted skirt, which I know a lot of people don't like, but it's "fluffy" enough to work with a variety of AO poses without your hips and butt sticking out too much. I'm wearing it in Candy, and it comes in 5 different colors. You can pick it up at the Mischief mainstore. I suggest fatpacking!

The Rosario flats are also just precious. I don't usually like a lot of stuff going on with my flats, but I like the ankle band on these. You can get the exclusive Glittery Pink color at the Cherry mainstore or on XStreet. There are only 150 available on XStreet, and in world they're only available until the 17th, so snatch them up quickly! If pink isn't your thing [gasp!], you can pick up the other 5 colors at Cherry, too.

Go shop!

Ms. Green Jeans

St. Patrick's Day is coming up this week, and so I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot of green going on! [Which I'm sure makes one Queen of Green I know very happy!]

Designer Dick Wiesel of WoE put out a special set just for us ladies for this week - A green version of his Graecyn jeans and new Striped sweaters!






There are actually two sweaters in the box, the shorter sleeved one that I'm wearing, and a long sleeved version. I think the set is adorable, and I just love the nice shamrock on the back of the sweater!

The best part? The set is only $20L. Yay!

While you're at WoE picking this up, be sure to look around because I just know you'll find more that you like!

I'm the Valentine Princess!

I'm full of the Valentine spirit this week! And how could I not be, when designers are coming out with the girly girl goods? :)

Speaking of girly girl, Musashi-Do designer Shiryu Musashi has two special Valentine editions of his gorgeous Brocade Princess gowns coming out Monday, February 10th. Pink AND purple? I'm in love!




As most people know, I'm a huge fan of the original Brocade Princess gowns, and having them in these gorgeous girly colors just makes my day! Each gown comes with both the patterned and solid sash, and as all Musashi-Do items are, the gowns are handdrawn.

The Valentine edition gowns will be available at the discounted price of $350L, and are transferable, so you can surprise the special princess in your life with a lovely lovely gift.

You can pick up the Valentine Pink at the Musashi-Do mainstore, and the Valentine Purple at the satellite shop at Franks Place! Hey, that's pretty nifty - buy a dress and then go dance! Remember, the gowns are only going to be available until the 14th, and then never offered again, so be sure you get them!

My Lovely Valentine

Although I am not an intense fan of Valentine's Day, the beginning of February is always fun for a girly girl like me because of all the red, pink, and hearts! I love it! And even more than that, I love a great deal. Dezi Jarvinen of Staged has a great little deal for us ladies right now out in her store.

My Lovely Valentine is a $20L special that is just so cute and versatile, too!




The cotton dress [which can be worn also as just a cute tank top] comes with black or white lace options. The knitted shrug has the options for short or long sleeves. You guys know I love options! The dress and shrug are sold separately for $10L each, but you have to admit, for $20L, it's an adorable outfit!

There are also many other colors of the new cotton dresses and shrugs at Staged, so be sure you check those out as well!

SL Daily Deals - Limited Edition At Musashi-Do!

Did you hear the news? SL Daily Deals will be having new deals every few hours for the 24th & 25th! And one of my favorite stores on the grid, Musashi-Do, is kicking off the big event with this limited edition of a dress that is honestly one of my favorite things in my inventory - Tender Blossoms.



When Tender Blossoms first came out, one of my first questions was, "Why isn't there a blue one?" Then Shiryu came up with this color, Winter Night. This...is like a little piece of heaven for me. I love Tender Blossoms because they're so so versatile. I dress mine up and down all the time!

From Midnight to 6am SLT you can pick up your own "Winter Night" Tender Blossoms for the discounted price of $169L. Normally they're $225 [and worth every single $L!] But get there as quick as you can, because there are only 200 available! It IS that limited edition! Once they're gone, they're gone, and you won't be able to get this gorgeous color again. Trust me, ladies. This is even prettier in world than it is in the picture! And it's transferable so it makes the PERFECT last minute Christmas gift!

Set your alarm for midnight so you can get down to Musashi-Do! Who knows, you might even run into me out there!

What's in Evie's Closet today?

Do you love Evie's Closet? Me too! You need to RUN down there today to get these great dresses because... They're only $50L each!! But it's today only!

The Isabella dresses are just utterly gorgeous, as all of Evie's works are. There are 2 available, the Isabella Formal and the Isabella Ballet. Both come with wings, for all you pretty little faeries out there!








How could you possibly say no to these? The Formal has 2 skirts, and I found that the overskirt actually looks fabulous on its own using the glitch pants from the Ballet outfit. The Ballet outfit also comes with stockings and those adorable little slippers! And both outfits come with the delicate little arm bands, too. Oh, both of these are just gorgeous all the way around.

Head over to Evie's Closet now now now!!

The Secret Garden

Have you been to the Jewelry Fair yet? If you haven't, why the heck not?! A hundred of the grid's best jewelers, auctions, charity pieces, and loads of gifts! What's not to like??

My friend, and the best SL jeweler I know, Skinkie Winkler of ~flirt~ has created 4 absolutely stunning rings for the Fair. I tried for days to get pictures that would show off just how gorgeous these rings truly are, but I think her photos show them off a little more clearly than I could do.





The Secret Garden rings are in the theme of the children's novel by the same name by Francis Hodgson Burnett. This is one of my favorite stories of all time and I've bought the book in different editions 7 times, so to say I was delighted with these rings would be an understatement.

Each of the rings features a tee-tiny seasonal garden tucked away inside the diamond. Oh it's just so beautiful! And as you can see, the rings are not very large at all.




Each ring is a true steal at $500L only at the Jewelry Fair, with 50% of that money going to the Oxfam charity. After the fair, they will be available at the mainstore, but for a higher price. Be sure you also pick up the free tigerlily barrette at the ~flirt~ fair booth. It's sooo pretty!!
