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.

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!

Mad Glam

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm one of probably 4 people in the world who doesn't watch Mad Men. So when Trompe Loeil released the NYC66 apartment for Collabor88 and people told me it was a recreation of Don Draper's home, I could have been told it's Tony Danza's apartment and not known the difference. But what I DO know is that it's awesome!



All mesh, mostly furnished, and only 260 land impact! Amazing! It's also more of a masculine home, so you men out there are sure to love it.

Glam Affair released a couple of great things for Collabor88 this month! The Zoe dress is a lovely little mesh number. You could easily pair this with boots or heels, or wear it over leggings or even jeans. So versatile!

The Mia skin is quite pretty, although not my normal style. I really love the bright eye makeup to match this month's Collabor88 theme. Here's a close up shot.

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!

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends

I have always been a HUGE reader. I started when I was barely past my 3rd birthday and cannot seem to stop. My bookshelves are double stacked. I still prefer real books to Kindles/Nooks/whathaveyous. When I heard that the theme for this month's Collabor88 was Classic Novels, I squealed in delight! The designers did SUCH a wonderful job interpreting the theme!!




From Whippet & Buck comes the Tess lingerie. [And yay for the lingerie challenge!] It's simple and cute, just the way that I like it! Little bows, little lace, perfect!

Trompe Loeil set out the Novel Decor Bedroom Duo behind me. An awesome mesh bed and book table, this is a must have in any book AND mesh lover's home! I just love the colors. It's a little darker than I'd have normally, but oh so pretty!

Not at Collabor88, but new today, Elikatira released her newest mesh hair, Abbey! LOVE the back of this hair!




Although I think everyone should love reading, you should STOP reading now and go shopping!

Something's There

I'm in love with the Glee & Showtunes stations on Pandora lately, so I'm sorry if my next 20 posts have the title of some Broadway musical song. But this is a good one, because with all the fabulous things that are out lately, something IS there for everyone!




Collabor88 is still going strong this month and if you haven't been by yet, you neeeeed to go! You can pick up great things, like the Killiney boots from FIR & MNA. I just love these! There is a pair for men as well, and these are MESH boots.

Speaking of Collabor88, there is a lot of good furniture out there this time around, like the Deetz Fireplace set from Cheeky Pea and the Patchwork & Pipes bed from Kari. I love that the curtains and rug from the Soft Exposure living room set from Barnesworth Anubis that we found at last month's Collabor88 work perfectly! I am also totally in love with The Snowy Cabin artwork on the wall from Funky Junk. The snow really falls! You can find it at the Funky Junk mainstore location, or at The Nest. It's no copy, so great for transferring for gifts!

And hello? Do you see my hair? It's a new MESH hair from Wasabi Pills called Cherry. It's so thick and lush and it's nice that it doesn't dig into my chest. You can't see it here, but in the back, there's a low ponytail. I wish I had this much thick hair in RL!

Have I talked your ear off? Are you ready to shop? Go now!

Winter's Edge

I LOVE the 7th of the month. Want to know why? Because it's the day before Collabor88 starts!! Yeah baby! This month's theme is a great one, too. Winter's Edge - The edgier side of winter, harsher than the soft exposure of last month. It's fab! It's also the Collabor88 Prom for our designers! Each designer has picked another creator to be their date to accompany them this month, so that means DOUBLE the things for you to buy!

Check out the Downtown Cathedral Catwalk from Trompe Loeil!




This is a MESH skybox, so perfect for photos or if you're into living in a different sort of setting than a traditional house. You can't tell in the photo, but there is snow actually falling behind the windows! I just adore it so much! The skybox is mod/copy and 91 prims.

I'm wearing the Love skin by Illusory in the Winter's Edge makeup. Check it out!




Pretty pretty pretty! From Ingenue for Collabor88, I'm wearing the Cyd dress, which is around the neck halter style and has a slim mesh skirt. If you haven't tried one of the mesh skirts from Ingenue, this is THE time to get one because I promise you won't be able to stop looking at your behind while you're wearing it. And Caroline's Jewelry is with us this month with the very lovely Gunmetal & Gems necklace and earrings set. So gorgeous!

Collabor88 starts tomorrow and I can't wait for you all to see all the greatness!

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!

Stop! Collabor88 and Listen!

Did you hear the news? Collabor88 starts TOMORROW!!! What is it? Well, it's a new monthly shopping event with some of the grid's most beloved designers bringing you new items at low prices, and every month on the 8th, the merchandise changes! You guys are going to adore it, I just know it. Let me show you just a sampling of what you can get there!




The Luna bustier and skirt from Ingenue are so ladylike and precious! And the sculpt work on the skirt is just oh-so-wonderful! Just look at the detailed pleats! I love it combined with the Changes hair from Elikatira. The band on the hair is color change and ties into a sweet little bow in the back. I'm using a pose by Marukin, which is a new to me store, and I am really loving the poses!

I'll have more to show you all later, but if this is what Collabor88 is going to be like...I have no doubts that you all are going to be some shopping maniacs!
