A Winter Wonderland

So I have been super-busy lately with the holiday season and everything, I apologise I haven't posted anything sooner, but the super-awesome team here have been busy enough for me anyways!! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas/ Hanuka/ whatever it is you celebrate!! And, here's a few Christmas gifts I want to share with you before they are no longer available!



This stunning dress is the Christmas subscribo gift from G*field, the gift includes the necklace and some earrings (not worn). I love how pretty this is, and the detail gone into it is incredible. The dress is stunning, and there is just the perfect amount of movement in it to make it feel light and princess-y :)

The adorable skin is the Christmas group gift from Curio. Sorry if it looks a lil blurred on my main photo, I don't think my current shape carries it off as well as it should. It looks much better in the close-up though: ;)



Other details:

Skin: Curio ~ Happy Holiday 2011/ Petal (available in group notices, comes in all usual Curio tones. Group is Gala & Rita design announcements and is currently FREE to join!!),
Hair: Shag ~ Pretty Please/ Scarlet (headband is colour-change! This was sent out to Shag's subscribo grp a few days ago with another hair style. I'm not sure if its redeliverable, fingers crossed it is!!),
Earrings: Finsemith ~ Grace earrings (Winter gift, this was also a subscribo giftie!!!),
Dress & Necklace: G*Field (subscribo giftie),
Boots: Addict (previous hunt gift).

Happy Holidays!!

Megan: YS&YS group gift

Your Skin & Your Shape has a new group gift and it has been worth the wait.  Megan is a lovely skin with a soft glow to the face.  The group is free to join which seems to be a rarer thing to find these days.  This adorable dress is from X*plosion and it is from the Depraved Summer Nights Hunt.  It comes in two versions (one without flowers) as well as a black bra layer (or you can go without the bra for a clean line).  This was my first visit to this store and I really liked it.  When you visit make sure to visit the discount area where there are boxes with tons of freebies from eyes to skins to clothing.  Thank you to both designers for their kind generosity.

Details:
Skin: YS&YS: Megan - Beauty: Group Gift
Hair: Elikatira: Again: Essentials: only 50 L today only for FLF. Go get!
Dress: E*plosion: Sweet Flower Dress: Depraved Summer Nights Hunt item: 0 L
Eyes: E*plosion Diamond Eyes - dark blue: Free in a box with a bunch of eyes.  Great for new players for lots of options.
Jewelry: Frippery / ET: Dancing in the Sun: not free

ok... one more :)

Earlier today Jane sent out their valentines gift to their subscribo group. It's two hoodies, with three different pairs of leggings so you can mix and match as you please.



The beautiful skin I'm wearing is Glam Affair's Valentines group giftie, and comes in five different skin tones. I just love the beautiful pouty red lips! I don't know how long this is going to be around for, so get it while you can. Here comes a close up:



Other stuff:

Happy Kyoot Year!

Kyoot has recolored one of my favorite dresses and is offering it at a New Years gift.  The gift also includes a nice black sequined vest.  My skin is the lovely Precious skin in Christmas Yule makeup, which is a group gift.  Now nothing about this skin made me want to start saying "Ho Ho Ho" (though other things do).  Its a great year-round skin and I do like the base shades.  Also, before it ends RezIpsa has an amazing clearance sale on a lot of hair and clothing.  My favorite style of Rezzie's work is Eliza and I was able to pick up a version with snowflakes for cheap!

 See the skin close up!

Hola!

Wow it's been awhile!! SL and RL have gotten so busy in the last couple of weeks, and I was doing my best to keep up.......then I just said fuck it, and started hanging out having fun instead. Most of yesterday was spent waiting for Nishant Zobovic to put out the hair we had been waiting very impatiently for :P While waiting, Sas and I tried to sort inv, then she got dizzy from throwing stuff away, and I thought it best we stop!



Most of you would have this amazing preview from the Tuli group, but if you don't, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY grab it now! "Hope" is stunning. You have a choice of tones and brow colours, which is awesome.



Pididdle has opened up at Fashion Mode, and looky, special dollarbie make up for yooooos. The makeup is so cute, and again you get a choice of tones.



For a couple of weeks now, girls have been asking in fashion emergency, and other groups I'm in, "What's happened to Lazolli?" Buggered if I knew, but I did love that store with a deep and burning passion. The skin shown here has been in my inv for a bit. I didn't know who sent it (thanks to capping and crashing on logging in). I went to the store to have a look round last week, then got distracted by IMs and forgot why I was there ;P Fast forward to this morn and this post, and I was like oooh I have that skin, then the penny dropped! Thanks for solving the mystery Narita!! Sooo, the point of that ramble is, Lazolli has rebranded to L'oring, this skin is free for a limited time, go grab it! It's the Jorden skin, the one Narita posted is Takako, both still avail at the time of posting for free.



Here's a new release from Dare Designs, this colour is the lucky chair exclusive. The Enthralled set is beautiful, I love the options that come with all of Dare's clothes.



This set Dare was kind enough to gift to me. "Beauty Is Pain" is a terribly apt name for the last two weeks of my sl. Thank you Dare, you rock! The hair!!! While it's not free, it's the biggest damn hair I've seen in ages and I fecking loves it!! Grab your blast from the past at Mirai Style. And remember, the higher the hair, the closer to god :P Ash Out.

It's all about the music

It all started with a Riot Vendor at A:S:S for a fatpack of punk hoodies with bands like The Ramones, Dead Kennedys, and The Cramps. Hordes of rawk chicks descended upon the vendor and slapped the MM board in a frenzy. Let's face it: we all love a great deal!
We finally battled the thing down to about $129L, and then it wouldn't budge. We heard later it actually goes all the way down to $100, but with all the lag...well, $129L for 5 sexy little hoodies was a good deal anyway! There's also a lucky chair that gives out gift cards - woot!

A few of us were quite pleased with our purchases, including Sileny, Eden, and a cute chica I met while unf unfing the riot vendor named Casia Serpente. We were so pleased, in fact, that we immediately put on our new hoodies and decided...

IT'S TIME...TO RAWK!

Oh yes, it got serious. Real serious. Of course, DJ Gecko Gorilla wouldn't miss out on the action either, and those of us without guitars headed over to Gibson Island at Casia's suggestion to load up on cool free guitars and tees. TONS of free guitars! Being the Rock Band and Guitar Hero enthusiast that I am, I fainted straight away at all of the rawk-ready free goodies.


Now that we were "well equipped" (muahaha) we decided to form an impromptu band for some hot busking action in Harold, one of the newest Starlust sims. There are TONS of freebies and dollarbies across the street from where we played.


We were jammin away, much to the...erm, confusion of passersby. But it was awesome! With Eden and me on guitar, Sileny on the drums, Casia as lead singer, and DJ GG as...well, the DJ, we were a real band!

Sileny and Eden showed off their new A:S:S hoodies in style, with GG sporting one of the many free Gibson Guitar tees you can find on Gibson Island.


I rocked in my free "Picks Reward" Shelly hair from Philotic Energy and a free tee from A:S:S that you can find on the roof that's unisex and clever. While not free, these baggy pants from Sn@tch, part of a set called "Hot Topic," made me totally reek of rockstar 'tude.

Casia tore it up with her hoodie and her awesome lucky chair ensemble from 4Eva GuTta. Her awesome karaoke thingie that actually played tunes while it emitted colorful music notes everywhere isn't free, but it kicks major ass for only $135 at Nylon Outfitters.

None of the bewildered and unsuspecting audience in Harold threw any coins into our guitar tip jar, but we're not giving up! Why? Because it's all about the music. (...and the freebies!)

Blogger Challenge: Let's Get Artsy!

After having fun with a few blogger challenges issued by such talented bloggers like the lovely Achariya and Sasy, I've been chewing on some ideas for a fun new theme. While noming on said thoughts, I happened to stumble into the store Wine and Roses. I'm currently in the market for a few nice pieces to fill La Casa de GG & Adaire after he spoiled me with a brand new skybox.

And...there in the shop was a lucky chair! And...it had my letter on it! And...I got this awesome vase! It's such a pretty vase, and I really wanted to show it on the blog, and then I thought...why not make a blogger challenge to incorporate one of the many pieces of beautiful art around the grid in a post? Understandably, the fashion blogs focus on fashion, but I think art can be quite fashionable in its own sense and worth celebrating!

I'm hoping some of those in the bloggosphere have a favorite sculpture, painting, artsy piece of furniture, or anything that creators in SL can dream up to express themselves and feel like sharing it. (And I'm also hoping no one thinks I'm looney for the idea, but I have "plausible deniability" - I'm in the midst of law school exams!)


The Wine and Roses lucky chair vase and Sn@tch's freebie for this week made me think "ballet" and "studio." I happened to see the Baking Cupcakes blog and Pumpkin's post about a dollarbie skybox called "Los Angeles By Night" from Urban Affliction (thanks Pumpkin!) and somehow I came up with this!

I also wanted to mention a pose shop that is perfect for artistic poses called Leafy that the skin goddess Ryker Beck pointed me towards. The poses are really creative and inspiring, and right now they're just $50L on sale! Be sure to go check it out.

Style Notes:
Candace "Glitterati" Skin (Apple): Genesis (Free in the subscribe-o-matic notices!)
Outfit: Sn@tch (Free but disappearing soon!)
Silver Bells Jewelry Set: Violet Voltaire (Part of her dollarbies upstairs behind the main store in her store-closing sale!)
Rabid II 3 (White): Curio (not free)
Wingchun Pose: Leafy ($50L)
Los Angeles By Night Skybox: Urban Affliction ($1L on xstreet.com)

Patriotic Much?

Not I said the fly! Forgive the eleventybillion pics, I've been distracting myself from a whore of a day. I've spent the day at immigration. A special place. And herein lies the problem. My Permanent visa subclass is 836- A carer visa, meaning I have an Australian citizen (minor) in my care. And while I jumped through all the hoops and crossed all the "I's", enough to gain my residency, apparently that is not enough to get Mini Ash an Australian passport. The problem is, I was not a resident at the time of her birth, although my whole immigration case was based on the fact that she is a citizen, and indeed was granted on that basis. Ever tried to get a passport officer to look up a visa subclass? Dun bother, they are incapable :P



Anyhoo, enough rantings and onto the good stuffs. Shown above are the latest group gifts from Concrete Flowers and KOSH. That's right!! Subscribo gifts this week. Gorgy girl boxers, 3 pairs of jeans, eyes, shapes and all sorts of other yummies.





Remember Wigwambam? I do, and Jojo has been MIA for what seems like an age! Buuuut, she's back, and how. The swimsuit shown is a dollarbie, the dresses are the latest (not free) releases. I look forward to more from this talented designer, indeed one of my faves on the grid to date.



These 3 skins are from Drlife. They used to be in the lucky chair, but have been made available to the group at the main store. Be sure to wear your tag to get yours. The lush hair I got from the Sn@tch show, courtesy of Adi's bestie Aems from Philotic Energy. I'm sure it's not free now, but it's a wicked style for guys and girls, and totes worth the L's.



The "Character" skin is the latest group gift from Rockberry, as blogged so magnificently by Ms Sileny here. You get to see it twice cos it deserves some exposure :p Also, I was lucky enough to get my hands on the latest releases from The Black Canary, that just cried out to be shown.



While you won't get these outfits for free, you will find some amazing poses in the lucky board, made with the same attention to detail that Morrigan shows in his incredible designs. The skin shown with the second outfit is also free, from a new to me store called Digital Dollhouse. You'll find all manner of goodies, including skins, shapes, prim nails and more. Thank you for bearing with me, I'm sure there will be much more emo leading up to my departure, and guess what? Y'all get to suffer with me :P Ash Out.

All good things come to an end.

By all good things I mean my long weekend. By come to an end I mean I had to drag myself into work today like a dead weight. I must be coming down from a sugar high or somesuch!



EDIT: The pic that was here has been temp removed as the dress posted had a glitch :(
Tuli sent out a truly stunning skin to her group today, although it came with a sobering message. Named "Faith" as it's something we could all use, and can never have too much of. My thoughts are with Tuli and her family, lets all send her some good vibes and positive energy :) The skin has beautiful painted lashes, luscious lips and comes in three tones, so y'all are catered for :P



A new store is something I always get excited about. Kayla Radikal sent me a card letting me know about a lucky chair at Grim Kitteh. While I wasn't lucky enough to win the skirt, I did this super cute outfit for joining the subscribo. I've paired it with some of my fave (not free) acessories, you can grab the slurls for those down below. Now I need some caffeine...stat. Ash Out.

Fascination

Just popping into the blog in between the 1647384884 other things I am doing, (eating prawn crackers and drinking wine, whilst making a hat in SL, whilst watching tv and plurking simultaneously. I'm a master multitasker (which explains why everything I do isn't that great, haha)

Fascino have given a gorge new hair out to the update group, perfectly coiffeured and looks fab with this exotic group gift skin from YourSkin & YourShape (you do have to adjust the hair quite a bit so that the scalp hair on the skin doesn't show though)
