One last hurrah...

Summer is drawing to a close,  and so that means its almost time to put away the bikini's, shorts and tank tops.  Which makes me really sad because I am really not a fan of cold weather.  However The Summer Harvest Hunt that starts on Saturday September 1st,  helps chase away the blues a little!


Yesterday I showed you one of the items from SAKIDE for The Summer Harvest Hunt,  and today I have another to show you.  This adorable Striped Bikini, that is absolutely perfect for and end of the summer.  It's tiny,  but fits perfectly and looks perfect on me!


This amazing Dock is part of the Nani pose set Last Hurrah made for Summer Harvest Hunt!  It's got 5 cute poses,  that come in the dock,  but they can also be used without the prop.  It fit so well with the decor on my sim that I am actually going to keep it out!


There are so many other awesome items in the Summer Harvest Hunt that I still haven't showed you.  Don't forget that it starts at Noon SLT this Saturday, September 1st!  Happy Hunting!

A sexy little dress...

Good morning my lovely readers!  I'm one of those girls that every now and then loves to dress up all fancy for no reason at all and take pictures of myself (yes I know,  just a little vain).  I think that a Wednesday morning is the perfect excuse to do such things,  who am I kidding any time is a good excuse!


I am loving this cute little Strapless Bow Dress from Valentina E. that was recently released!  It comes in 4 super pretty plaid colors as well as 4 equally as pretty striped colors.  I'm not usually a wearer of plaid,  but I could not pass up this dress,  it's sleek, sexy and very stylish!


I have have been holding on to this amazing Pearl Necklace by [HANDverk] that I had grabbed at the L'accessoires event.  I finally found the perfect outfit to wear it with!  I am loving the stylish simplicity of this beautifully made necklace,  as well as the 6 amazing colors that it comes in!  It's a must have for every woman!

Newness at ColdLogic...

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!  Yesterday ColdLogic graced us with another lovely release to go along with the last few days of the 50% off sale going on till Tomorrow (Wednesday August 29th).  There are Rompers,  Skirts,  Dresses,  Pants,  and 3 different Shirts!  There are 11 new releases in all!


I decided to just show you my two absolute favorites!  The first being these ultra sleek and super stylish Eise Trousers!  They come in 4 very pretty colors,  and are perfect for the transition to your Fall Wardrobe!  They come with two cuff options,  one is longer for heels,  while the other is perfect for flats or bare feet.


I am totally loving this oh so cute Mcgillis Top.  With it's pattern of pretty flowers,  and plunging v-cut with a different toned undershirt.  It comes in 4 very earthy colors,  that are also very perfect for the changing of seasons!  I love that the tops fit perfectly with these pants!  It's like this outfit was made for me!

I also thought you should see the new poses by Ploom for this round of My Attic.  The pack is named Fancy,  and has 6 super "fancy" poses with curvy options as well (just in case your shape is curvy).  I actually think that is a great idea,  since sometimes we all have issues with poses because of our shapes.

Feldgrau... Virgo Style

Oh look... its Monday,  and that means another busy weekend has passed!  It also means its time for another 52 Weeks of Color Challenge color!  This week I've got Feldgrau for you,  which to me looks like a mix of gray and blue.


I had gotten this cute top from {Happy} at the Virgo round of Zodiac which opened just a few days ago!  It comes in 6 super pretty colors,  but I chose Blueberry for this post because well it was as close to Feldgrau as I could find!

While I am talking about this round of Zodiac,  you can also grab this pose there!  It's from aDORKable and part of the Calm Pose Pack.  It's one of two items by them for the event!  There are also a bunch of other amazing things I have yet to show you!

Black and White... A Bloggers Challenge

 So yesterday on Plurk (where have I heard that before?), a friend of mine Hybie Mynx (shape maker and blogger) mentioned that it was time for a new blogger challenge.  She was talking about a Black and White challenge,  and I was all for it.

Since she wasn't sure she was going to have time I begged her to let me start it!  She very sweetly told me I was welcome to,  but I am definitely going to give her at the very least half the credit!


Since I have never started a blogger challenge before,  I was eager to jump right in and hope people follow along.  I decided to wear a black and white outfit and go to a sim where I new there was not a whole lot of color,  mostly because my OCD was in overdrive!


Now I wasn't sure where I was going with this challenge until I was in Photoshop.  I finally decided that instead of going completely black and white with my photo,  I would leave just a touch of the color.  It's very faint and I believe they still can be considered black and white photos.  


 So your challenge should you choose to accept it is to do a black and white blog post.  You can do what I did and leave faint color in it or go with all black and white. You can wear black and white clothes,  wear bright colors,  or even wear nothing at all (meaning tasteful nudes are acceptable).  It's totally up to you.  

You can join the Flickr group to add your finished pictures with links to your blogs.  You can even message me in world if you want to say hi or just show me your post!  Even if you aren't a blogger,  and just want to do some black and white pictures that's ok too!  I'm really excited to see what you all come up with!

Just a little bit random...

Oh hello there my lovely and super amazing readers!  It's random blog post time!  I've been talking for awhile about messing with my shape that I have had for over a year.  I have made myself shorter,  or widened my hips,  you know little things like that here and there.  

But yesterday my good friend the ever so talented Maribel Button of So... Buttons,  asked me if she could play with my shape!  So I nervously passed it over,  excited but just a little bit scared of the change.  I wanted to show you guys the changes just for fun!  My pics are mostly unedited,  just a crop here and there, and some line removal!


I'll admit I love the changes Maribel made to my shape,  but I had just a few concerns.  One,  I didn't want to look like a clone of her,  not that she isn't beautiful (she totally is and she knows it).  Two,  I wanted to still be me.  Three,  I wanted to be shorter,  but not too short.

I made sure she wouldn't be upset with me if I made some minor adjustments,  to make it just a little more me,  and she was open to it.  So I adjusted the eyes,  head shape,  and a few other very random little things,  till I found what fit me perfectly!  

I also decided I wanted to try out my natural ginger for awhile,   so of course I had to make sure I still looked amazing in all my favorite red hairs!  I totally did... Score!  I love that Maribel had fun playing with my shape,  and did such an amazing job with it!  I am so grateful that she was also open to letting me play with it just a little!  I'm really happy with how the final shape came out!

The Shy Virgo...

Yesterday marked the first day of the new round of the spectacular Zodiac event. This is the second round of the Astrological Sign based event,  and this month Virgo is Up.  I can't possibly cover all the items in one blog post,  so you may see a few more!


Obviously,  I have embraced my inner ginger today and it's totally because of this really pretty skin at Zodiac from essences called Virgo (for obvious reasons).  I am wearing the blonde version,  and I love it,  I seriously adore this skin.  You might ask me why I'm a ginger if the skin is for blondes... It's simply because I needed perfection.  I just couldn't find the perfect blonde shade that went with this lovely skin (of course it was !lamb to the rescue).

I am  really tempted to never take this skin off.  I have the absolute cutest the face wearing this skin! I had never tried a skin from essences before,  but there is a first time for everything right?  The skin comes with three brow shades (brunette, red and blonde).  Oh and don't let me forget it has eyeliner, blush and freckles tattoo layers (which I am wearing),  and breast enhancing options.


There seriously are not enough nice things to say about this cute outfit from Evie's Closet.  I love the color,  the fit,  the textures,  seriously I just love everything about it.  It's called Kasia and is an exclusive for the Virgo round of Zodiac!  It has a very bohemian vibe to it,  which only makes me love it more.  I feel like a mix of princess and gypsy (yes I know odd combination) and love that about it.  It is standard sizing mesh,  so don;t forget to demo it!

I always grab aDORKable poses whenever I see them at an event,  and very often rush right down for new releases.  I can't ever pass up the cute,  sweet,  sexy and sassy poses that are also always amazing.  Of course I had to have this Shy Poses  set for the Virgo round of Zodiac.  It comes with 5 sweet poses for the shy Virgo in all of us,  and like always includes mirror versions.  You can also grab the Calm Pose Pack while you are there!

There are so many other amazing items I haven't shown you, availlible at Zodiac so head on down and spend all your Lindens!  Happy Shopping!

This month one of my ALL TIME favorite pose stores is taking part.  yes that's right {.:exposeur:.} has fabulous poses availlible but (only till the 25th of this month).  The pose I used is from the It's Casual set, which has 5 poses,  with a mirror of each.  There is also a couples pose availlible,  but since I'm single I have no one to pose with.  Don't forget to sign up and get all the amazing items!

Russet... but not the potato kind.

Oh look another week has gone by,  and again I am a few days late for my 52 Weeks of Color Challenge post.  This week's color is Russet,  which like most colors lately was kinda hard to find.  When I think of Russet,  I see potatoes,  odd right? I couldn't find anything that I loved that was actually labeled as the color Russet. So I took some Liberty this week.


I chose this {mon tissu} Frock Dress,  which I love for so many reasons,  in Brown.  I also paired it with the oh so adorable Cassiopeia Bolero in Brown from Innocuous.  Both items are mesh and I was so happy when I realized they fit together PERFECTLY!

I played around with windlights,  and found one that made my outfit look Russet colored!  Yay for the magic of windlights!  I'm already shopping for next weeks color,  wish me luck!

Maribel Button of So... Buttons had the brilliant idea to do a collaboration with a few girls in our unmentionables,  and of course who could say no?  So Katya Valeska of Simply Dou and I got all cute in our new elly Jane Bras and Boyshort Undies,  and we groped posed all cute like with Maribel!  You can get these cute undies in 5 colors,  but only at ZombiePopcorn!

Kidnapped by Harvest...

Oh Good Morning (since it's almost 1:30 am),  and Happy Friday!  I was up way too late tonight (or last night,  whatever) with Harvest Denzo,  she totally kidnapped me for a blog post.  She held me hostage for hours (in reality it was awesome and totally fun)!  Can you believe her?  I seriously have no complaints,  I got to look super cute and take some awesome pics with a truly amazing girl!


You know me and my shopping habit,  and you know that I am addicted to all things mesh,  cute,  and stylish.  So it's no wonder that I literally RAN to Maitreya to get the super cute and super NEW Xarra Tunic  Dress,  which comes in 4 awesome designs.  Each design has several pretty colors to chose from!  

I love that even though we didn't go shopping together the colors of dresses we chose actually compliment each other.  Of course it doesn't hurt that we both look super cute in them!  Harvest and I are proof that anyone can wear this dress!  We both have such different styles,  and yet both pull off this dress perfectly!


Oh and don't let me forever these adorable new Stagioni Boots!  I am not usually a fan of short boots (apparently my inner hussy likes thigh high boots),  but seriously these are to die for!  I totally am going to need them in every color!  They are perfect to go with these dresses... or anything really!

I can say without a doubt that I adore the fuzz out of Harvest,  and hope we can do a post together again soon!  I met her on Plurk awhile back,  but it wasn't until recently we started to really get to know each other.  Honestly she is one of the sweetest and funniest people I know!  One of these days she's gonna slap me for asking her if I can put her in my pocket!

Of course you know we had to do a picture with funny faces,  because that's just how we roll (insert eye rolling here).  No photo shoot is complete without a little horse play,  some funny faces,  and lots of giggling!  It's safe to say we covered everything.  I'm pretty sure I will never live down my "OMGAH,  I JUST BROKE PLURK" moment. 

Since I'm too lazy to write out all of the awesomeness Harvest is wearing, you can check out her credits on her awesome blog!

Release...

Since I'm so busy in RL right now I thought I would just throw together a cute photo with a small post.  So I went to the perfect little spot (one of my favorite places in SL),  and took pictures.  I took a few pictures of this Baffle Paper Butterflies prop,  but when I saw this one,  I knew it had to be the one!


You can pick up this amazing prop at Vintage Fair!  I love the letting go theme of this prop,  the paper butterflies getting released from captivity.  It totally hits home with me,  finally learning how to let go of things.  Yay me right?

My dress is new from *LpD*, it's called Atena and it's super pretty!  I actually went and bought it just for this picture,  and refuse to take it off!  You can pick up my adorable hair at Collabor88,  it's called Manon and is from D!va.  It actually has a jeweled headband,  that you can hide.

I am loving this new PurpleMoon Jewelry which is called Venice and only availlible at L'accessoires!  If you haven't heard about it yet, it's a new event that's full of shoes and accessories!

FaMESHed meets Vintage Fair...

Busy busy busy... that's my life this week,  and I am doing my best to still catch up on all of the stuff I have sitting in my inventory begging to be blogged!  I have a few things from Vintage Fair, and a couple from FaMESHed to show you today.


Let me start by saying,  the love I have for EVERYTHING Cracked Mirror is limitless.  I've become quite addicted to their new and amazing mesh items.  For this round of FaMESHed they made these super stylish and oh so cute Rita Tops and Mambo Jeans.  

I love the Rita Tops,  the sleek design and the way it fits.  I also adore the colors,  they are perfect for late summer,  and you can wear them with anything!  I'm still warming up to the idea of Colored Jeans,  but these Mambo jeans are super cute!  They look amazing with the tops,  come in some super cute colors,  and go perfectly with my favorite pair of heels!


I know Vintage Fair stuff is everywhere right now,  and everyone is blogging it.  But there are so many amazing things I still haven't been able to blog.  Like this super cute Wasabi Pills Veronica hair,  that just makes me so happy!  I am so loving this hair right now,  and it looks amazing on me!

I swear I bought more jewelry at Vintage Fair then anything else.  Which is actually super helpful,  since I love to accessorize!  I am loving this BenS Beauty Pure Jewelry!  You can buy the earrings,  necklace,  and even a ring (all separately) in several super pretty colors!

Of course feeding my pose hoarding habit,  I grabbed these My Paula Runway Set poses!  They are just one of the amazing items from  WetCat you can pick up now at Vintage Fair!  They were perfect for this outfit,  but really they are for every outfit.

A Royal Color...Tryian Purple.

Another week of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge brings us another stunning color!  This weeks color is Tyrian Purple,  and what girl doesn't love purple?  I'll admit as much as a I love the color purple,  this particular shade made me think a certain super annoying dinosaur. 

I've been really lucky lately finding just the right shade of the color each week,  and Collabor88 has actually been really helpful for this post and the last one.  This Marie Jacket is from fri.day and only availlible at Collabor88 right now and there are a bunch of cute shades!


I love love love, and did I mention LOVE this new hair from elikatira! It's called Thrive and its only at Collabor88 right now!  My first thought when I tried it on was "I look like Jessica Rabbit".  So I bought it. I might actually try to put a Jessica Rabbit outfit together sometime soon.

My super cute skin is Cassiopea Retro from Glam Affair,  and you can only get it at TDR.  I've always loved Glam's skins,  and this one is awesome.  I make it a habit to buy them whenever they are at events,  so I have more skins then I can even ever wear!  The makeup on this skin is amazing,  I wish I could get it on my Leah skin!


There is still time left to get to Vintage Fair and pick up these AMAZING Slink Vintage 2 Strap Pumps.  They come in too many colors to even tell you,  which means a color to match every outfit!  I am loving that they come with the Tip Toe Bare feet as well!  Now I have Tip Toe feet to wear anytime I want!

I also got these poses from evolve at Vintage Fair! They are called Low, and are a free gift in the store!  There are 4 super cute and sexy squatting poses in the pack!  Don't forget to check out the other items in the store while you are there!

On a side note,  please bear with me this week,  as I am very busy teaching VBS.  I'll be around and try to blog as much as I can,  but they might be really late evening posts!  Until next time,  Happy Shopping!
