Samsara

I’m so excited that Felicity Winslet is opening a new jewelry store! I was sad to see Mariposa close last year right when I was getting back into blogging. Her new store, titled Samsara which means “the indefinitely repeated cycles of birth, misery and death caused by karma,” is set to open soon, though I’m not certain that a definite date has been set yet. As soon as it opens, you will definitely be able to find the link on my blog! Florita Reloaded is one of the pieces which will be released with the opening. The set includs a choker and a bracelet which are available in silver, dark silver and bronze. Scripts are included in the pieces for easy resizing and gem options (eight color choices). Keep an eye out for that landmark!

I know that you can only see a very tiny portion of the outfit that I am wearing, but I really loved the bright red color and wanted to use it for my post even though the design is a little risqué for my personal tastes. The dress, appropriately titled Sizzle Red, is composed of a bikini type top with straps of cloth that cover the breasts and extend down the stomach to meet in a ‘V’ type pattern at the top of the skirt. The skirt portion is a mini with a prim piece included which matches very well with the texture of the skirt. If this sounds like an outfit you would like, please teleport to DK Design where you will find this hot little number for L$55 this week only!

Romance

Everyone can use a little romance in their inventory, and The Secret Store’s latest release is just the way to do it! Romance is an adorable babydoll type shirt that features a high neck and a sculpted prim skirt. I really love how shiny the texture is and how soft the colors are. Six color combinations are available for L$189 each or L$1,000 for the fatpack. Two special edition color combinations have also be left out from a previous Lazy Sunday event for only L$70 each!  Grab them before they are gone!

I really needed a cute pair of black leggings to go with the adorable Romance top; so, I headed for my favorite shopping place of late… the marketplace! It’s so easy to just type in what you are looking for and browse through the choices; it really cuts down on all the time you would spend looking through various shops! I do have to be honest, however; sometimes I am a little nervous about buying products from vendors I have never heard of. I hate spending money on clothing that looks fantastic in a picture and absolutely horrible on me. I typically prefer to grab a freebie from a store as a basis for quality before I spend Lindens, but since the leggings from Art Decade were only L$30, I decided to give them a shot anyway. I have to say that I am completely impressed with my L$30 leggings! The texture is absolutely beautiful, and at such a cheap price, I can afford the fatpack of seven colors for only L$150! I just had to visit the store in world as well, and I really love their products. You just may be seeing more posts featuring Art Decade products!

Hello, April

It’s so entirely crazy how real life can become so completely crazy so quick! I have had very little time over the past view weeks to spend on Second Life; which of course in turn cut down on the posts I could make. Great news though… I found my perfect wedding dress! Now just to finally decide on where my wonderful fiancé and I will be getting married! Haha

A couple weeks ago JANE released an absolutely adorable spring line. I have been wearing the same outfit for the past week or so in the hope that I would get time to photograph and post. I had only been logging in for a few minutes in the morning and a few minutes in the evening to get notecards and group announcements and then back off to real life I went. I did finally get to photograph the adorable Chloe Denim Mini and the Chase Sweater. The sculpt for the skirt is absolutely adorable and the texture is amazing; the skirt is shaped with a bit of a wave in it so it looks more natural. The Chase Sweater contains prim pieces for the arms, collar and sweater bottom; just like the skirt, the sweater also contains an amazing realistic but still artistic texture. Chloe Denim Mini is available for L$110 and Chase Sweater is available for L$100 only at JANE!

What better to go with an adorable spring outfit than a Purrfect pair of shoes! Last week Purrfect 10 released their new line of shoes titled Gemini. These sexy heels feature a beautiful strap around the ankle with zippers up the back of the ankle as well as on the strap on the front of the shoe. As with all Purrfect 10 purchase, any shoe can be retextured to black. Skin colors for the sculpted shoes are controlled through RGB values. The shoes also contain options for sound, nail color, metal color, resizing, and walking. Purrfect 10 shoes no longer contain options for invisiprims; however, most Second Life viewers now allow users to use the alpha option which eliminates the need for invisiprims. Gemini is available in ten colors at L$690 each or L$5,500 for the fatpack; VIP members receive 25% off purchases when the group tag is worn.
