Mystic Sky: Late September Lucky Chair Gown

Lovely, lovely Skyler John from Mystic Sky has placed a new gown in her store's lucky chair.  This time you have an opportunity to win Katarina in Pink; a lovely empire-waist gown with prim lacing in the back and headdress.  As always, she has put an original full price work in the chair so you get top quality.  While you are there, check out the sale on tattoos.

I also am completely loving this new skin from [Katsuicide] that you can pick up for a pittance at the current Grunge Soul Project for a pittance.  It has a wonderful glow and fantastic cleavage definition, which worked perfectly with the cut of this gown.

Tender Moments to Savor Forever

Just sayin'.

Sileny lies! Bright colors are not over. I am a fanatic stickler about no white shoes after Labor Day but today I'm siding with good old Nicki Minaj as covered by my second favorite ANTM judge, Andre Leon Talley, on Vogue Daily and continuing the pre-fall color show.  Heaven knows I can shop with the best of them (ask my friends) but today I found so many inexpensive goodies from some of my favorite designers!

Deal Me In

There is an insanely easy hunt over at LeeZu for group members.  The group is free to join and the hunt took me at the most an enjoyable hour to find 12 playing cards.  The details on how to do the hunt are in group notices but essentially you collect the cards from different areas of the store and then turn them in to redeem one of 4 fantastic prizes.  You can chose from the Miriam or Virage dress, Robin Jeans or like I did, the Margo jacket shown above.  I've been drooling over this jacket since it was released and it is impeccable.  LeeZu took the time to add really special details such as the shadowing effect on the chest straps which makes it especially realistic.  I am beyond impressed by this piece.  At the end of the hunt one lucky winner will also receive a Grand Prize of 5000 Ls and 2 items from the NOIR collection.

I was also wowed by the latest group gift from LeLutka.  The Hadley skin comes in 5 tones with a wonderfully subtle makeup.  I really like the minimalist effect of this makeup and am getting ready to throw some lala's their way after this lovely sample.

Thank you to both LeeZu and LeLutka for these amazing, high quality gifts.

Modavia & The Secret Store

Modavia's inworld group has reached 5,000 members and The Secret Store was kind enough to give the FrouFrou dress in an exclusive color to the group to mark the occasion.  There are several links to great gifts in the group that is free to join!  Search Modavia Fashion Marketing.

I am loving Cupcake's Cecile skin which is still out in the Copper tone for 50 L in their Sunday Bake Sale area.  I paired it with the Lovely makeup set which is also only 50 L.  The darling hair is free at Rush, a cute blond bob.  I met the designer, Destiny Leimes, while I was there and she is a darling! It's a cute store and this is like the second freebie I've picked up from there recently, so she is generous, too! Thanks again!

Cupcakes Spring Egg Hunt

You must hop over to the Cupcakes sim by Monday for the Spring Hunt.  Cupcakes has an all new look that is cute heaven.  Cupcakes has 18 eggs for you to find and several of the anchor stores have either eggs or opening gifts to celebrate!  A.D.D. Andel and Sanu have moved their mainstores to Cupcakes, which totally ups the cute factor (make sure you check out the yards in the back of the store while you hunt).  The eggs are scattered all over the sim and the ever generous Mimi Coral and Rosemary Galbraith of Cupcakes have included skins, dresses, lingeries and tanks in their eggs.  Eight of the cupcake eggs contain skins in different tones.  A quick note about the skins:  The skins do not have the old style brows but utilize tattoo layers. Those are not in the eggs but you can get free ones by the Enigma skins (get them from all three venders so you have the correct tones).

details:

Skin: Cupcakes: Meadow in Sienna: 0 L for hunt

Lingerie: Cupcakes: Fancy Lacy Stuff - Floral: 0 L for hunt

Bunneh: Sanu: Bunneh in an Easter Egg: 0 L for hunt

Balloons (above): Sanu: Opening gift: 0 L

Hair: fri.day: Tatum: not free

Eyes: Glam Affair: Stella eyes V2-14: not free

4 of Cupcakes eggs contain their new Sweets! Lolita Dress in exclusive Spring Colors.  I wore the Gardener version and magically found a mushroom at A.D.D. Andel!

details:

Dress: Cupcakes: Sweets! Lolita Dress - Gardener: 0 L for hunt

Mushroom: A.D.D. Andel: Holdable Mushroom - Easter: 0 L for hunt (3 more for your garden are also hidden)

Happy Hunting and thank you to all the shops at Cupcakes and especially Mimi and Rosemary for your sweet generosity!

Skin Fair Finds

I've been trying to do this post for days and finally finished some photos.  Modavia Productions is hosting the 3rd Skin Fair at Vanity Universe through March 6 and it's a great opportunity to check out new releases from many skin designers as well as pick up some nice gifts.  I can't begin to show all of the gifts here but I will show you a few of my favorites.  Right now it's fairly challenging to get onto the sim but there is still plenty of time.

The best thing I heard today is that Happy Finds is reopened.  Free*Style has blogged them in the past and I TP'ed there as soon as I got word.  Right now the group is free to join (don't expect that to last) and there are gifts in the notices as well as in the store along with a few great discounts.

I'm totally in love with the eye makeup included in (R E D) M I N T's gift.  The deep, deep blue show is topped with light shimmers and will be one I go back to again and again.

Hair: [e] - Play - not free

The gift from Your Skin & Your Shape is a fantastic skin that includes various hair base and cleavage layers. It's a nice, fresh face that should work well with makeup layers. I was sooo lucky to win the new hair in the Lucky Chair at Love Soul so I had to brag about it.  There are many new prizes in their 2 lucky chairs.

Skin: YS&YS: Susan: Free

The other skin I really liked was the gift from al vulo.  The gift also includes eyes, which I've also shown.  It amazes me still how different your avatar can look just by changing your skin.

This is the fair layout.  Walk around and you will find all kinds of gifts and fair specials. Enjoy!

Mystic Sky: New Gown / New Year

The ever generous Skyler John from Mystic Sky has put a new gown in her lucky chair.  Those of you who follow this popular chair know that Skyler puts a full price item in her chair so there is no skimping on quality.  For the new year she has chosen the elegant Raven gown.  This gown comes with a gorgeous cape with a chained clasp (perfect for all kinds of outfits) as well as two skirt options.  I am wearing the narrower skirt option in the photo.  I'm also wearing what has turned out to be one of my all time favorite gifts from LeLutka.  It's a special version of the Lola line exclusively at Modavia II.  It includes 2 hairbase options and matching chignon.

While you are waiting for your letter at Mystic Sky, make sure you check out the 50% off sale on everything Blue, Silver or White.  The sale ends January 5 and includes new releases like the sweet Loralee Fae outfit in white.  I love the organic elements of this outfit, which is so fitting a faery.

Paint it BaLaC

So I was standing around this lucky board with some of my fellow Lucky Chair Stalkers and one of the gals starts talking about this coat she was wearing and of course we all went "OOOO",  because that is what we say, so I went there and got it and bought some more stuff from this really nice new store, BalaC.  Then I got really excited because I saw that there is also a free men's version.  Also the men's version comes in 2 sizes.  I thought it would look great as part of a classic Ivy League girl look so I paired it with Baiastice's classic sweater/skirt set at The Dressing Room Blue.  The hair from Exile is also a steal the TDRB.  The skin is from the lucky board (group only) at Yuki.  There are 4 boards and a steady crowd so you can win fast.  I added some color to the lips with a tat layer lipstick from Cheap Makeup (dern, I'm loving these makeup layers!)

Poor Sasha

I needed a good excuse to tell you that Cupcakes has dropped their join fee for one week.  This began on Sunday so you still have several days to get in.  Rosemary Galbraith and Mimi Coral did not fail me and they never do.  I absolutely love their skin and show it quite often.  They just gave the group some hilarious drunken and hungover skin, which I'm showing you below.  Since you can join for free for a week, head over to Maitreya, where there is a pre-release sale of the new Sasha hair for only 50 L each.  All proceeds benefit Red Cross efforts to provide assistance to victims of the Haitian Earthquake so you can look fab and do good.  This is definitely a hair that many men could pull off too!

SALE!

Ssh, don't tell Justice, but I snuck out of my Be A Boy For A Week challenge,to bring you some amazing smexyness. This is another one of those dash and buy posts! Everything shown here is from Fishy Strawbery (except the hair) and is 50L until the 1st November.



Fae sent me some bangles, way back in '07, when she had a tiny wee store, and it's been incredible to watch her, and her designs go from strength to strength.



There are sales, there there are sales, and this is one you'll kick yourself if you miss.



Everything black is 50L, including the black makeups on Fae's skins. Lan is shown here, the others are just as gorgy, Lan just suits my av the best.





The store will take a bit to rez, and judging by last night, don't be surprised to find yourself standing on someone's head ;P Look out for items marked with pumpkins, and turn your hover tips on just to be doubly sure.



I cannot stress enough, the sale ends on the 1st November, so hurry hurry hurry. Ash Out.
