Indyra Gets Me Ready For Spring!

More springtime goodness! Today's outfit comes from the new releases at Indyra Originals. I'm wearing the new Minerva dress and the new Porta Nova necklace. I actually have on the matching earrings, but you can't see them because of my hair. :)

Review - Indyra - Porta Nova necklace


The Minerva dress comes with the empire waisted skirt and matching wide belt. Very hot this season! I'm wearing it in Turquoise, one of my favorite colors, but there are 10 colors available. This is the kind of dress that will take you well into autumn, especially if your autumns are as warm as mine generally are!

Now, I absolutely fell in love with this necklace! The Porta Nova is just so precious, and the jewel textures are wonderful! As you all well know, big oversized gems are quite in this season, and these completely fit the bill. The matching earrings are also stunning! The Porta Nova sets come in 11 different colors, with the classic pearl included in each set.

There are many other pretties at Indyra Originals, so you know what time it is - It's time to shop!

Hoppin' for Hopscotch!

Now that we're fully into the spring season, I'm always hunting out spring/summer pieces that are both cute and casual. My friend Chandni Khondji of Hopscotch made me totally jump for joy with her new Rosalie tops. Light, springy, and casual - totally me.

Review - Hopscotch - Rosalie, pink, babydoll

Review - Hopscotch - Rosalie, blue, skirt


The Rosalie tops are just adorable. They come with 2 different bottoms - a babydoll top and a skirt top. I guess you could wear the skirt part as just a dress, but there are no glitch pants, since this is a shirt, so don't forget panties. [Or do, and put a show, I guess.] I really like these shirts!

Rosalie comes in 4 colors and are $100L each, or you can get the fatpack for $350L. I'm also using poses by Hopscotch, too! There's lots to see at the store, so hop on over and check it out!

I'll put a spell on you...

Just yesterday I was thinking to myself, "Self, you just don't wear as many costumes as you used to a couple of years ago." Then here comes Deviance designer Surreal LeShelle with simply the most marvelous outfit - The Enchantress!

Review - Deviance - Enchantress

Review - Deviance - Enchantress, back


The Enchantress is so gorgeous, as you would expect from Deviance. And there are SO many options to this lovely outfit, I simply couldn't photograph them all. The skirt and collar have 4 different options each and you know how much I love options with my clothing. I'm wearing the skirt with both the skulls and beads, and in the first photo I'm wearing the cape with the collar and long cape, and as you can see in the second photo, I'm wearing the shorter cape with no collar. And the included staff is just awesome. I feel like I want to cast a spell on everyone around me! The shape I'm wearing is included in the package, too! Normally I don't wear other shapes, preferring to fit outfits to my shape, but I really liked this one. It's taller and bigger than my normal shape, but didn't make me feel like a glamazon, which is always a good thing.

I'm wearing the Enchantress in Midnight Blue in my pictures, but there are 15 beautiful colors available. A single outfit is $400L, a minipack of 3 colors is $800L, and you can multipack all 15 colors for $1800L. I think you'll agree with me that getting the big pack is truly the way to go with this, especially if you get a lot of use out of this type of outfit!

If you are a Deviance subscriber, you can get a special group gift - the Enchantress in teal! Why are you still reading? Go shopping!

Zaara yummies!

Oh, Zaara. How you tempt me. The newest line of lingerie, the Trikaya, makes me so so happy. I love gorgeous, ladylike lingerie and this fits the bill!

Review - Zaara - Trikaya, Ebony

Review - Zaara - Trikaya, Carmine


The high-waisted knickers are precious. It really makes your curves stand out! And if you look at the behind, it's high cut enough to let your tush show, but done in a way that is both sexy and modest. Plus, the sheer panel on the back shows just enough, but also leaves a little to the imagination. The bra is very well done. Simple, but with a little detail and the "double" straps on front. So cute!

The Trikaya comes in 6 colors for $225L each, or fatpack the Classic set or Jewels set [I'm wearing the Carmine and the Ebony from the Classic set, and there is one more color in that set] for $450L each set.

Get to Zaara - because you need undies! Oh, and men? There's some cute boxers out there for you, too!

Oh, you yummy pose sets!

Tomorrow the Pose Fair opens to the public! I have been by to see it already and oh gosh, if you love poses and animations...you're going to be in HEAVEN. I was almost squealing out loud while I was there!

Lots of pose/animation makers these days put together scenes and props for you to use for your photos. I really love it because it saves me from having to find my own scenes! Here are some that I've gotten from three of the Pose Fair vendors. The SLurls I'm using for the stores are the direct ones to their Pose Fair stalls. If you want to go to their mainstores, you'll just have to look them up. ;)

This one is called "My Point Of View" and is by Juxtapose. It's really cool, because you have LOTS of options for poses, city scene, and colors of the walls.

Review - Pose Fair - Juxtapose, Point Of View


This next one is by Olive Juice, and is called "Ball Pit." I think you can see why! It also has several different poses, which you just use a menu to find.

Review - Pose Fair - Olive Juice, Ball Pit


And this last one is by Adorkable Poses, and it's called "Girl's Only." So so cute! There are a few places to sit on this set, so you and your girlies can chill. I love it!

Review - Pose Fair - Adorkable, Girl's Only


The Pose Fair's chosen charity is Motivation, which helps out disabled people in low income countries. Very awesome deal. :)

Expect lag, expect crowds, but expect fun and poses!

Pose Fair Is Coming! Spring Bazaar Is Here!

Hey, do you know what's coming up? POSE FAIR!!!! The only way I'd be more excited about a fair is if it was called "Hey Ali, Everything You Ever Needed In SL Is Right Here And Free" Fair.

Today I'm using poses from Amacci, which will be in the Pose Fair this year. I was sent a great folder of poses, plus their "Posh AO." I really like the AO, and I think whenever I'm called to do a runway show again, this will probably be the AO I end up using for it.

If you didn't know, the Spring Bazaar is going on right now! Lots of cute designers out there, and everything is $50L or less. I picked up lots of great things, including a ton of stuff in the dollarbie/freebie Easter eggs that are hiding around. I picked up this great t-shirt from Intrigue Co. for $25L, and these shorts from Frop, which were part of a 2 shirts/2 shorts set for $30L. I also picked up my facial piercings from Adore & Abhor for $15L. Heck of a deal!

[I will say, though, for those of you who don't care for the recolors of the premade template stuff you can buy on XStreet, a lot of these items have been made using templates, and so a lot look the same. But if that doesn't bug you, especially since it's all so inexpensive, then you should be totally good!]

The Spring Bazaar is going on now until April 11th, and the Pose Fair starts this Friday, April 2nd, at 4pm SLT. Happy shopping!

Let me take the stage...

Do you love boots? Oh, I just bet you do! I do too, and honey, let me tell you - I am wearing the most marvelous lace up boots on my feet today!

The new Burlesque boots from Gos are just delicious! Knee high, lace up, sculpted beautifully over your calves... Take a look!

Review - Gos - Burlesque


Are you in love yet? No? Well, let me sweeten the deal for you with these sweet boots. They are loaded with options! You won't have to worry about a fatpack with these yummies, because they are color-changeable with 6 fabulous colors! You can change the satin of the boot, and the laces as well. So many options to match with your outfits! I just love the colors!

Review - Gos - Burlesque, all colors


For those of you who like playing in 2.0, these are 2.0 friendly with the invisible alpha layer so that you don't have to worry about invisiprims! I love that! But if you are not using 2.0, there are invisiprims, so these boots attach to your lower leg. These are also very easy to fit with the menu system to make the boots smaller or wider, and to move them back and forth or side to side. That's always a nice option for people who are not quite comfortable with the system modify tools. And if you're really really not good at fitting prims to your shape, there is a special posestand available and - get this - your friends can mod the boots FOR YOU. If you don't have friends (just kidding!), I understand that there will be staff at the Gos store to help you out. Be sure to read the notecard if you get confused with it, although if you're familiar with most resizer scripts, you will most likely not have too much trouble with this. And once they are fit, if you don't like extra scripts, there is an Anti-Lag button which removes the scripts. But remember, that removes ALL the scripts, so be sure to make a backup copy of your boots first!

The Burlesque Boots are an extremely affordable $895L. With all the color change options, that's really like getting 36 pairs of boots! Where else are you going to get that many boots that look this good for that price? Only at Gos!
