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.
Lady In Red_head
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.
