Summer Flowers

Well originally I did this post as this pretty dress/socks found their way by accident into the Fashion Limited Blogger group. After asking the creator (because I could not find the outfit at Fashion Limited), I got the reply that it was sent by accident. Not one to waste a photo I have worked on, I'm going ahead with the post.
Summer is a time for long balmy days, gentle winds, and summer flowers. And where better to have your flowers than on your clothes? This sexy, semi baby-doll dress with matching socks from Countdown is perfect for the cooler summer days relaxing with friends. Or going for walks amongst the trees and grass.

August Queen

Another break from blogging.....this time due to several reasons, but hopefully the main one - been unable to take any decent photos on the new Firestorm, they all come out blurred - has been resolved. *cross fingers*


I'm bringing you a preview of a jewellery set from Finesmith I just fell in love with at first sight. That it is *pink* and silver had a lot to do with it. This set consists of earrings, tiara/diadem, and bracelet. The bracelet is copyable so you can add it to the other wrist as I have done here if you wish. It is a fabulous mix of delicate - with the wispy silver threads, and bold - with the bright pink "leaves".
Oh and the BEST thing......it is FREE! Yep, this gorgeous set is the new Finesmith Group gift. It will be released Thursday.

INYT: You're Invited!

Unlike my usual posts, this one doesn't show any pretty outfits. It's to promote this very worthy cause.
There is a special event today at 2.30 pm at I'm Not Your Toy.

A dance performance not to be missed!
Please come and lend your Support and help Stop Child Abuse.

Blue for You

Another post featuring I'm Not Your Toy fundraising items. This is a fabulous cause that could really use people getting behind it, if even just for a few $L. The quality of the Designers and their offerings is fabulous!
For more information see I'm Not Your Toy blog.

This Exclusive dress by Amarelo Manga really needs to be seen in life, the camera cannot do it justice. The shade of blue is gorgeous, and the fabric shimmers with a subtle animated texture that brings a lot of class to what could have been an otherwise fairly plain dress. It is worn here with the Hunt shoes, also by Amarelo Manga in a matching blue.
INYT_3
To accesorize, I chose this fabulous Mika jewel set that came with a dress also (not worn here). This set includes necklace, earrings and bracelet by Finesmith. On my head I chose the Timepiece feathers, with Time Trap in aqua hairpieces also by Finesmith. These two pieces match perfectly and make a nice accompaniment with each other.

I'm Not Your Toy!

I was thrilled when I got selected to blog for this really worthwhile campaign "I'm Not Your Toy". In the words of the INYT blog ""I'm Not Your Toy" goal is to raise funds in SecondLife® for RL non-profit associations against child and woman abuse. With the help of SL® designers, models, bloggers and friends who are ready to give their time and talent with nothing to receive just the happiness to know that together we can made a difference in someone life."
This subject is one that has had a personal impact on my life, having been abused as a child, then also as an adult.
I'm Not Your Toy (INYT) will have the first charity event in Second Life® from June 17th to 23rd, and all donations will go to Associação Projecto Criar (http://projectocriar.blogspot.pt/).
For more information, and a list of events, and designers participating, please go to I'm Not Your Toy

Today I will showcase 4 of the items available for INYT over 2 separate posts.
First up is this really gorgeous jumpsuit by Ghee that is offered as an exclusive for INYT. I literally lived in this for 4 days when as I was about to take photos of it, just about everything that could go wrong in SL did.
This is soooooo colourful and summery, really brightens up a summers day, or adds cheer to those of us stuck in Southern hemisphere winters. The bright, vibrant aqua, meshes perfectly with the orange scarf making this great for beach or anywhere.
INYT_1
The second is another bright offering, a very sexy, vibrant singlet, and skirt ensemble. The various candy colours in a sort of mock tie-die pattern give this Hunt outfit from AFI Designs a very summery feel. And the outline daisy on the top adds a touch of whimsy. This really is one of those go-to outfits when you want a quick throw on for some sun fun.

La Traviata

As seems to be usual with me it is a space between posts. It's never intentional, just a lot of other things get in the way. I'
Today I am wearing this absolutely stunningly gorgeous gown and jewels set from Chop Zuey, and only available at Fashion Limited! There is only 100 copies of this at HALF price, so run, run, run and grab it. The included jewellery alone is worth the cost.
In a delicate shade of Ivory, draped and wrapped around the body and ending in a mermaid skirt, this gown will turn heads wherever you go.
La Traviata_full
The long opera-length gloves ending in jewel encrusted cuffs, and a matching jewel encrusted sash give the gown a luxurious, priceless look.
La Traviata_upper
The sash can be removed so the gown can also be worn for a slightly "formal" look, which then also shows off the lovely necklace included in the set. There is also matching bracelets and earrings. Which of course can be worn alone with other outfits. Chop Zuey have opened a Sky Shop where they are selling other very lovely gown/jewellery ensembles for that complete look.

Hands On

Sometimes something comes along that just grabs your eye, and you know instantly what you are going to do with it. This eye-catching short dress/top from E-Clipse is exactly that. From the pattern of the hands covering to the lines of this it is perfection in my eyes. Just love the smooth curve above the breast on the right side, and the long daring split on the left.
Hands On_upper
It teams perfectly with these semi lace patterned skinny leg jeans from Plastik. These come in 2 styles in the pack........cuffed and straight legged. Add a geometic patterned cluth from Pure Poison, which comes in 3 versions...left, right, unscripted. Some strappy high heels from Gos, some jewellery from Finesmith and Mandala and it's a look that can take you anywhere.
Hands On_full
To me this just screamed out for some dark,but not too dark heavy eyes. This Liquid Shadow from Kookla fit that perfectly, and blend smoothly with the Pewter eyes from IKON. As I said in another post I just love the new Truth hair textures, and styles, this style being no exception. It has a light, breezy look perfect for summer days or evenings.

Ready in Red

Sorry to have not posted again in a while, but between my ISP being no better than dial up half the time, and SL being stuck in grey-world because the changes LL are doing puts a heavy demand on HTTP protocol...something my net is struggling to deal with. After several horrible days it is finally at a point where it's usable again. Many, many thanks to the Firestorm Support people for taking days to try to sort it for me.
On to today's outfit.
This ensemble is called Honey and it is by Yasum. It consists of a sleeveless body suit, a mini skirt, and chaps. Showing it here in red, but there is many, many options in the HUDs. Almost every aspect of the skirt and chaps is customisable.

Chaps HUD

The detailing on the chaps makes them a very cute accessory, while the skirt could easily be a mainstay in a wardrobe. Both are Mesh and come in standard sizing. The skirt also has an option called "Deformer" that does not require an alpha layer to fit.
Ready in Red_side1Ready in Red_side2

Accessories are various fabulous pieces by Finesmith. "Grapa" earrings and bracelet in "Darkness" are a nice balance between statement jewellery, and accessory, "Truth" bracelet is totally a statement piece, and the ring "Here comes the Sun" in "Sheridans" is an eye-catching piece without overpowering.
Ready in Red_front_details

Hair is part of the new releases in the brand new textures by Truth. It seems there is mixed reactions to the new textures as can be expected, some adore them, others are not so happy as their favourite texture has been replaced. Personally I love the new textures, and the new pack "Variations" is brilliant.

Modern Geisha

Recently I competed in the Face of October competition. There was 2 challenges for the semi-finals, and then 2 for the finals. This is the first challenge: [“We are all Geishas.” We want you to style a contemporary outfit inspired by Geishas. A Traditional Geisha figure will make you fail. You can check 2013 Etro Spring Collection or 2013 Pucci Spring Collection to see what we want.]

My take on this borrowed from several elements: contemporary japanese style with the jacket, shoes and pants, kawaii with the bag, and kabuki theatre with the make-up.

Summer Days

Been about a month or so since I posted. Partly due to lack of time, but also lack of inspiration. I have been busy putting together outfits for "The Face of October" competition that I entered, and will post those later.
On to the current outfit.For those in the Northern Hemisphere it is almost Summer, for us it is getting into Winter. This outfit caught my eye with it's bright sunshine yellow skirt, and warm balmy days cerise top.With a style that could be casual and beachy, or dressed up as fun summer evening wear, this top and skirt are a winner.
Summer Days
Teamed here with a lovely jewellery set by Finesmith that is colour change so can be adapted to fit almost any outfit, it adds a touch of glam to the outfit.
Summer Days_upper
I just love the top to this outfit. The cut and style of it lends itself to be able to be worn with many things, from skirts, through to shorts, through to pants. Or even just a bikini bottom at the beach.

Naughty but Nice

I have FINALLY got back to SL after more downtime, partly because I am concentrating on my recovery, which has been up and down to say the least, but mostly because every time I tried to log in to SL, nothing would work! When I did finally manage to log in, I couldn't move for the lag! Still unsure as to why this was, but it seems to be sorted out now (fingers crossed!)
So I am hoping that I will be able to get on more often from now on!

Today I discovered that the Dirty Little Secret Hunt is running! So far I have only completed 12 of the locations, but I will try to show you some of the goodies that I find along the way!
This hunt is for both boys and girls - and the prizes are just L$1 each, which considering the great quality of what you receive in return is fantastic!
If you want the female prizes, you are hunting for the Red Shoe Diaries logo/items, and if you want the male stuff then you are hunting for the Little Black Book logo/items. (Please see the bottom of this post for links and more info about the hunt)

The prize I am focusing on in this post is a beautiful nightwear and shoe set from Sin Originals:




 

 


As you can see from the photos, the set includes black panties, a sexy red negligee and one pair of beautiful shoes!
Here are some close-ups of the negligee and shoes:


The negligee is mesh and comes in XS, S, M, and L sizes. 
As for the shoes, I just love the way they are designed! The leather look straps and metal hoops give them the edgy look and feeling, but at the same time they are sexy and feminine with the beautiful red silk bows - the perfect combination! 


Well I'm off to get some much needed sleep, but before I do, here's the linkage and item info:

Hair: Truth (not free)

Skin: Al Vulo (free, previous gift)

Nightwear and shoes set: Sin Original (hunt prize, $L1)

For more info and starting points on the Dirty Little Secret Hunt, please go here.
Happy hunting and sweet dreams!

Spring Blossoms

A very belated post of a gorgeous dress from World's End Garden that was featured at FFL. This long spring gown/dress is so feminine and pretty with the smothering of blossoms and flowers over it. I felt it had quite an Asian look and feel about it so styled it that way. But in truth it is versatile enough to be styled many ways.
Spring Blossom_full
I chose an older Glam Affair skin called Sakura as the skin base, because it has an Asian look and feel about it. And complemented the eyes with under eye shadow by Chelle, and a rich jewel coloured eyeshadow from Madrid Solo. The hair was a gift from EMO-tions at Hair Fair 2 years back.
Spring Blossom_head
Completing the look I chose a stunning necklace from Finesmith that really works well with this gown. The necklace sits in such a way as to look like it clips onto the dress and so is part of the whole. Bracelets are from Mandala for the brown one, and Pure Poison for the rose bracelet.

Blue Venus

While visiting FFL  during some time off, I was just browsing around looking and making a mental list of things I wanted before actually buying. Anyway, wandered into this new to me booth for ~ghee~. Noticed a long blue gown named Elemental Gown...couldn't see it all that well in the lag, but was curious. So right clicked to check how much it was, next thing I knew I had bought it because of the lag. Feeling a little peeved at having spent quite a sum on an unplanned (and possibly unwanted purchase) I cut my losses and went home to try it on.
Well....was I in for a surprise!
Venus_front
This gown is just amazing! I literally did not take it off for almost 2 days, I love it that much. It is called Elemental Gown - Water......and it really looks like it has water running through it. It is nearly totally transparent to give the water look, though does come with modesty bra and panties.
venus_back
Co-inciding with me accidentally getting this gown, was the opening of {MUA} make-up shop by Shanty Bookmite. One of their release make-ups was the lovely set "Overseas". Wearing just the eyes here, the colour compliments perfectly the Elemental Gown. I teamed it up with the Finesmith "Pulinha MVW" set in white

Black Gold


Seems that time just gets on top of me lately. This time I have been very busy with the Metaverse Pageant. After being unsuccessful in applying as a Candidate, I was asked if I would be a Liaison with a group of candidates that did make it in. I jumped at the chance, figuring it would be great behind-the-scenes experience. I had NO clue just how busy that job would be. During the judging I ended up as a judge, and that was literally a full-time job with us putting in 14 hour days. It was fun, it was exhausting, and for me it was educational. And I would not swap the experience for the world.
The second thing that has kept me busy is getting ready to do my first show as a Model. On Sunday March 26, 1pm I will be in my first show through Model's Workshop. Rehearsals, and styling has kept me pretty hectic the last few days since the finals of the Metaverse Pageant.
Of course I missed a lot of blogging I should have done, and some I wished I had done.....so over the next few days I hope to catch up on some of it.

This outfit is a mix of items from Fashion Limited, and Arcade Gacha. I chose the stunning Liv-Glam  "Anastasiya Peacock Gown" because the flow and the fine sequining of the fabric is just gorgeous. With a low cut V at the front to accentuate the fine curves of the skin under the gown.
BlackGold_front
To accessorise I chose the fabulous Pulinha MVW Formal set in black/gold from Finesmith. This is such a delicate and feminine set that sits perfectly on the body. I matched that with a recent EMO-tions hair fresh from FFL called Semiramis.
BlackGold_head
The amazing skin I am wearing is the lovely Gwen skin by Swallow from the Arcade gacha. There is 10 skins in all to be had, and every one of them is well worth it.

Busy, Busy. Spring Fever

Ever notice how time has a way of zooming by? I've been busy as heck in SecondLife, and next thing I knew 2 weeks had flown past. I did find time to get in some of the current events though.
Lucia from World's End Garden sent me this pretty dress that is their hunt prize in the Alice in RMK GOTHIC Hunt.
Soft and demure, in soft Spring colors, this dress is well worth the time doing the Hunt.
Spring Fever_close-up
Like 90% of the grid I went gacha-crazy at the beginning of the month when the Arcade Gacha opened. So many great things to take your chance with RNG being on your side. I didn't do too badly, and having a gacha yardsale to sell extras at was very useful. This great skin from Swallow was one of my favourites from this round. As are these boots from ISON.
Spring Fever_full
Teamed this all up with the latest group gift eyes from IKON. Love this new range of eyes they have. Added bracelets from Limited Bazaar, and Earrings from TDR Fusion, and we were ready to enjoy the spring air in a garden somewhere.

Lady In Red

There has been so many great new releases lately that putting together outfits is more a case of "oh gosh how do I fit all this stuff together", rather than "ughs, what will I wear with this?"
Take this outfit for example, nearly all of it has been a new release within the last 1-3 weeks.
The first thing that grabbed me was this dress from The Secret Store at FaMESHed. The simple style with a self-contrast stripe and peter-pan collar really caught my eye.
Lady In Red_full
Then there was this hair from LoQ. Didn't even need to try this one on because it was SO me that I would make it fit! Love the way the hair is styled into a hat at the front, and pulled back into a bun at the back. Next find was these earrings from SoliDea FoliEs. They were just the perfect shade of red for the hair and dress.

All that was needed was some boots, bracelets, a bag maybe, and some tights to pull the outfit together.

A Touch of Garden

Anyone that knows me well enough in SecondLife knows I am a huge fan of World's End Garden. So when a notice came through the group looking for a blogger I jumped at the chance. Lucia had just released a new set of 3 mesh dresses called Primavera. There is also some new Primavera hair accessories in a Gacha which are transferable so you can give away doubles, or swap with friends.
WEG Primavera Alice Blue_fullWEG Primavera Alice Blue_head

I love these fresh looking dresses with their floral skirts after all the coats and dark colours in SecondLife the last couple of months.

Just perfect for a day out in the country amongst nature, or even dress it up a little with a bolero for a romantic evening out.
