Helena is Helena

I always seem late to the party, but I had to blog this group gift from Sn@tch for obvious reasons. If you are a member in the group, up until today you have the chance to grab a 6 pack this of gown. The gown is aptly named Helena. So if you are in the group, run, NOW! If not, consider joining, there are many great benefits, and the group is full of awesome people. If you do the Sn@tch 7Seas Fishing, being in the group often allows you to trade for what you need, if you missed a part, or just couldn't get it.

The detail of the back in stunning, so I just had to show you. The gowns also come with the cigarette holder. I'm also wearing a group gift from Finesmith, which is this flower fasinator and matching neckpiece. It's actually the march gift, not sure how much longer you will be able to grab it for, as the group was suppose to go to Pay to Join a while ago. Take advantage of the Free to Join status, as there are more than a few awesome gifts out. Also Finesmith offers weekly members discounts on various things. Right now the deal is a set of shoes in various colours and patterns.

As I have told you all in the past, I am a collector of eyes. It is the one thing I rarely can help myself with, like those who gravitate towards shoes, hair or skins in sl. I took of my fasinator so you could see these lovely peepers in all their glory.

***Note on the Photo Location - As the name suggests, this is an adult sim, some of the parcels may have things going on that aren't your everyday viewing fare. The parcel where the shots were done is more for the artistic nudes who need a place to shoot, altho there were many full dressed avatars, such as I. Please keep this in mind when tping to this location. The parcel is very lovely, but sometimes when tping in, you don't end up directly on it, and land somewhere else entirely. Use this location at your own risk. Wearing a hover tag to state you intentions helps, I always have my blogger one on, and people there left me be.***

Bandana Day!

Today is the last day of Hair Fair, and as always, is Bandana Day!

Wear your favorite bandana to show you care.

Love Donna Flora / Hucci and more Hair Fair

 I didn't do justice yesterday in my post with the gorgeous Hucci group gifts.  Join the subscriber as Eboni Kahn, creator of the Hucci brand, does not skimp on gifts.  This month she included exclusive pieces of two of her new releases.  Above I am wearing the Rouen dress with its bright pop colors.  Today I am showing two non-gift hairs from Hair Fair, both from favorite designers.  The hair above is Andrea from Wasabi Pills; MissAllSunday Lemon makes some of my favorite hair and I adore her textures.

The second group gift from Hucci is the adorable Oulu Romper again in an exclusive color.  The fabulous team over at Deco made the Hivish hair that I sport.  Deco is a store that is not afraid to get out there and they released several designs for men that really special.  There is also a cool dollarbie gift at their booth at Hair Fair 2013

The jewelry I am wearing are from my vast collection of Donna Flora goods.  I first learned about Donna Flora from the Free*Style blog, which I avidly followed way before I joined the team.  Squinternet Larnia, genius behind Donna Flora, always had some fantastic gifts which got me started and left me wanting more. She was one of the first truly elegant designers that I followed, especially her exquisite jewelry.  Squinternet is currently very ill with cancer that has metastasized to her bones.  Some lovely ladies are hosting the Love Donna Flora event that runs July 25th – August 24th to raise funds for alternative therapies and nursing care that she needs to keep fighting the cancer.  About a billion designers have created one of a kind items to help raise funds, items that are often inspired by their love of Squinternet's vast body of work.  The official blog has posts from a myriad of her fans in SL, including one by our very special Teshan Wycliffe, who is an amazing jewelry designer in RL. I was touched by the tributes and took me back to when I got so much inspiration from SL fashion, in which Donna Flora played a major part.  You may also leave a personal message of love and encouragement for Squinternet on the blog.  The sim that is hosting the event has been a bit wonky today so I cannot wait to get over there and begin shopping the event!

PS: I left a donation box for Squinternet at Shop Free*Style. It is on a table near the teleporter on the first floor.
