Turning Blonde

It seems like I am wearing a lot of blonde hair lately.  A lot of skins I have been buying or getting for free seem to have nice blonde brows or only come with a blonde brow option so I have been getting lots of blonde hair.  I don't mind it because I like blonde, I am just usually wearing black hair so it's weird for me. xD  Anyway, this post has nothing to do with hair (other than I am wearing an adorable not free hair from Clawtooth) but the skin I am wearing is one I got from the Cupcakes group and has a really nice blonde brow and hair base.  If you don't like pale and blonde though there are other gifts in other tones as well.  My dress is one of a bunch of hunt items at Ricielli for 15L a piece.  Since the items are 15L and not free there is a sign in the store that shows pictures of the items so you know what you will get.  Woo!

OK, see ya soon and have a great day!
Worn:
Skin, Eyes, Tattoo Layer Teeth: Cupcakes, group gift.  Couple of gifts in the notices I am not showing here as well, such as other skins with tattoo makeups, eyes, shapes, etc.  Group is currently free to join.
Dress: Ricielli, 15L hunt item, more items available
Hair: Clawtooth by Clawtooth, not free

I have a few things to show you today before I go to bed and then wake up a few hours from now and have a super busy RL.  Blargh to busy!  I am moving in RL and my child is starting preschool so my time for SL is very limited.  I want to blog but there are not enough hours in the day lately! I loved these things so much though that I had to make a quick post anyway.

My necklace is part of a set from Lassitude & Ennui for the If I Were Rich hunt.  I love that it includes a version of the necklace for those that are more on the busty side.  My skin is 1L from Mother Goose's and is super cute, as usual for them.  I love the shape of the lips especially.  My hair is from D!va for Collabor88 and I am so impressed with all the color change options for the headband and there is even a no headband option.  My lingerie is from Sn@tch and is not free but as with all their items there are lots of colors in one pack and I adore it.

Skin: Mother Goose's, 1L

Medal For Nothing.

Ahem. *sneaks guiltily into the room* O hellooooo all, hehe. It's been a minute, I know! Well, anyway. Onto the gifties! Everything but the skin in this look (which btw is the latest by Glam Affair) is composed of freebies or cheapies, most newly available. My fave pick of them all: this texture-change watch that's free on the Menstuff Hunt (I went with white ceramic, prolly 'cuz I've been absolutely pining for the RL version, i.e., the white ceramic Chanel one, for literally ages now). My 2nd fave find: these utterly fab, clubbing-ready, fashion is a contact sport-styled spiky gold knee patches (!), which are just too fierce for words + totally free. -- My 3rd fave thing: this free hefty gold medal, which I literally did zero sports to get (+ was totally free). Pretty sweet deal, eh? Home decor buffs need to know about this free rubber blowup pool (complete w/ scripted air pump), courtesy of the Add9 lucky boards. It's texture-change (tons of color choices, actually), fills with wavy water + is only 3 prims! Creator Canue Glazner has such a whimsical mind, from food to clothes; it's always great fun to see what she'll conjure up next (oodles of freebies at her store; plus 2 more lucky boards too, with a iced tea glass carafe being particularly cute).

Hope everyone's making the most of these long summer days. Free summer love + fashionista kisses to all!

Circa 2012

Circa has these cute little shooter drinks in the lucky board at the moment in a variety of colors.  I'm not a big drinker but I am a huge pixel foodie so, hey.  There are also lots of things in the gacha machines ranging in price from 15L-30L, like these floats, ice cream and beverage.  Have fun!

I got these earrings from Ben's Beauty as part of the Avenue Magazine reader's gift and I wanted to share them really quick before I pass out.  Just join the Avenue Reader's group, go to the store, touch the gift panel, and you've got them!  There are a couple of other gifties in the store too but I haven't checked them out yet.

My skin and tattoo makeup is not free but it's from Adam N Eve at Vintage Fair and it's gorgeous to the max and I am going to write more about it on my other blog later but I'm just too darn tired now.  See ya soon!

Deviance

Hello!! Deviance has a very pretty free gown hidden in store until the end of the month. What you're looking for is a big red heart, it's quite easy to find. Funny thing is, right when I was trying it on, the adorable Maxi Gossamer sent me her Collabor 88 items and, if you look closely, the colors match the gown to perfection. As I was looking for the perfect hair to compliment the outfit, I went back to C88 myself and got the latest little wonder from Bubbles Clawtooth. I didn't even need to change my eyes since I was still wearing Poetic Colors latest freebie, shown in my previous post.

• Gown :  Deluxe Fairy Tale Princess Gown, mystic sky, Deviance (free in store until the end of the month

Baroque style...

Hello! Poetic Colors just released a new series of eyes! They come in 3 sizes, 3 levels of white and of course with the system eyes and mesh. No demo available, but instead, even better : a free color. This exquisite shade of purple, Orchid, is simply stunning.

Once I had the eyes I had to match them with clothes and all, so I finally faced the crowd at Collabor 88 and one of the first things to rez for me was that dress from Chantkare. No need to say I bought it immediately (without even trying a demo, I know, baaaad, but I'm lucky it's standard sizing and fits me perfectly)

To understand my reaction to the dress, you need to see the picture below. The dress belonged to my grand-mother, who was always very elegant and fashionable, and she would wear it at cocktail parties and when she passed away my mom thought I'd like to have it. So yeah, this is me :

Dilly Dolls goes Vintage ala Shagadelic!

Between blogging Vintage Fair and trying to find time to work on the new Free*Style store I essentially have no SLife.  I had originally hoped to have the store up and running by late July but I jumped right into covering Vintage Fair literally the evening that Hair Fair ended so now I'm hoping the store can be up and running in September.  I will do an update about it when I can go into detail, but I can say we have some great designers confirmed to participate.

Vintage Fair is 3 sims of awesome.  The builds was designed by Cory Edo of Trompe Loeil and they are mesh.  Also one of the fair sponsors, she has created 72 unique storefronts for the event and they are phantom enabled so if you can't get past the mob at the door just walk on in thru the window (\o/). They are also for sale at her event store. The Fair covers "antique" (pre-20's) to the 80's and with the plethora of events going on at the moment you can actually get in!  It runs through the 29th of this month so there is lots of time to shop.  Oriana Kuhr of Dilly Dolls has made some adorable block print mesh dresses for the fair and the grey version is a gift for visitors.  It comes in  Standard Sizing and includes a HUD so that you can change color tones on both the dress and belt. My boots are also from Dilly Dolls and are in the Midnight Mania at the main store.  Make sure to go hit that first!  For all things Vintage please visit Chic Management's official site.  All stores and their slurls are listed as well information about the amazing Flickr competition with over $L 115,000 in cash and prizes of for grabs!

Nzuri Vintage dollarbie

Hello lovely people! It's a bright and sunshiny day out there and the perfect weather to wear a dress that transform into a swimsuit in a second! Nzuri has exactly what you need available at Vintage Fair, and it's only 1l$! I love the flowery pattern and the 2 in 1 look of Gloria. It has a little flaw at the hem of the cleavage, but I think it looks like my boobs are whiter than the rest of my skin, like I got a little suntan with a different swimsuit. I don't know if it's on purpose, but I actually like it.

Frilled and Fabulous with Indrya Originals

It feels foreign to be here, typing these words and sharing the first Second Life pictures I have taken in such a long time. It has been over 2, almost 3 years since I stopped blogging on Second Life and channelled my energy into Real Life. Yet, when I let my eyes feast on this dress, I knew it needed to be shared with those who may not have already clawed their hands around its fabulous frills.

A young, gorgeous avatar was wandering through faMESHED when I naturally cammed on her and fell in love with her outfit. I'm not shy about expressing my appreciation for people's style and looks, and so I sent her a message. She shot back a 'You won't believe it was $1L' and I almost fell off my chair. So off I went, and got my hands on these beautiful pieces.

These beautiful dresses are from Indrya Originals. The RTW: Chloe dress is available instore in 7 gorgeous colour combinations. Each comes with a single clothing layer, sculpted skirt and belt, along with a three-piece sculpted frill along the bust. This low-cut dress is gorgeous, the shading and texture is stunning and the frill just makes it op, making your avatars face the feature, be elongating the figure. I love it so much, I mixed and matched it for this shoot, and so did my friend Effie.

We had lots of fun mixing and styling the cute top, and I cannot wait to encorporate it into my SL wardrobe. Alot of these items are old (but still amazing) and most are not free, but shopping your current Inventory is often more fun that spending more Lindens!
