Sally Has Seashells

I'm really in the mood for warmer weather to be here today with this recent design by Siss Boom! Sally Has Seashells is a cute minidress with sculpted features which include the skirt and the belt. The sculpted pieces include resize scripts which make it very easy to size the outfit to fit your avatar. A note that includes tips and suggestions for fitting sculpted pieces also comes with your purchase. Your purchase also includes the cute matching bag. The dress is available in three colors: blue, aqua and red.

The poses I used for this post are brand new by aDORKable Poses. I really love the poses by this designer because of her uniqueness and her inclusion of mirror poses. It can be extremely annoying to find the perfect pose for a picture but in the opposite direction of what you need it to be! You never have to worry about that with aDORKable poses because mirror poses are included in all of the packs! Photo 1 features a pose from the Bag Lady II pack available at the main store location, and Photo 2 features a pose from the Legs pack available at the Festival of Sin.

While you are at Siss Boom you should pick up this adorable group gift titled Black Angel which includes both the top and the jeans. If you aren't a member of the in world group, simply click the board in the store and join for free!

Down on the Bayou

I really have a mishmash of goodies for you today. One of the many things that I completely love about Second Life is the ability to change. I can change everything about myself in a matter of minutes: what I’m wearing, what ethnicity I look like, even where I live. There is so much freedom that you have here that we aren’t able to experience in real life.

Probably the first thing you noticed about my look today is that I have gone darker! Typically I do wear lighter skin tones since that reflects the real life me whose skin is so light it is nearly transparent. When I saw this skin, however, at the Grunge Soul Project, I just had to have it! Al Vulo is a new to me skin designer whose work I am absolutely loving. I also picked up a skin she has out at the Fashion Garret which is another version of the skin I am wearing except a tad lighter and with pink eye shadow instead of blue. I really love the makeup on this skin; the eyes are captivating, the blush is perfect and the lips are screaming for some attention from my hubby. For a mere L$75, it is a total win!

Accessories truly have the ability to add that finishing touch to make a perfect outfit. I am completely loving the styles that are offered at je suis. There you can find everything from bold and beautiful to delicate and elegant. All of the pieces, however, have class! The Asymetrique pieces really caught my attention during my last visit; they are what I would call a statement piece. The big, chunky pieces are beautifully textured. Nine color combinations are available in this collection at L$149 per necklace, L$99 per earring set and L$149 per bangle set. The pieces are color change which allow you to choose different shades of the main color for each piece of the jewelry. If you want the entire collection, prices for the fatpacks are L$999 for the necklaces, L$399 for the earrings and L$599 for the bangles. Scripts are also included which allow you to easily resize the pieces to fit your ava.

Since I have had the privilege of blogging Izzie’s designs, I honestly don’t think there has been one release that I haven’t completely fallen in love with. The one constant theme that I can see in her work is the ability to beautifully blend sculpts with system clothing, and the Off Shoulder Top is no exception. The shirt is very versatile in that it can be worn with a dressy pair of pants as I have in my pictures or with a casual pair of jeans; it also looks fabulous with the hot Leo Print leggings which Izzie’s also recently released. The piece is beautifully textured with soft fabrics which is available in ten gorgeous colors at L$150 each or L$1,200 for the fatpack.

Boots! Guess how much I paid for them… go ahead, guess. Nothing! These absolutely amazing boots are the newest group gift being offered by Hoorenbeek. I absolutely love the designs put out by this store; it’s just too bad that most of them are designed for men instead of women. Perhaps if we beg and plead he will design more shoes for women? It’s worth a shot! He does, however, have the most amazing athletic shoes that I have seen on the grid, and it just so happens that he is having a L$200 sale this weekend on select items. Hoorenbeek has one of these sales every so often, and I always go to see if he has marked down a pair of the athletic shoes that I don’t yet have. My collection of his redention of Nike Shox is complete; now I’m just waiting to complete my SL Balance collection. I suppose I could also start a collection of a new type of sneaker! This sale runs through Sunday, and you most definitely do not want to miss it! To receive the fabulous group gift, you do have to be a member of the subscribo group for at least fifteen days, but gifts are typically left out long enough for you to go slap the board and then wait a couple weeks to pick up your gift.

Week 6 of 52 Weeks of Color - Yellow

I’m not entirely sure that I could have stomached an entire picture of this week’s color for Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color. Yellow is not a color I have ever completely loved to wear, and it definitely doesn’t remind me of anything having to do with December. Perhaps the last bit has something to do with the two inches of snow in my yard right now, however. I’m sure if I lived in the southern hemisphere I would have a different perspective.

I am so proud that I only bought one new item for my picture this week, and even that item I could have gotten a review copy of if I had wanted to wait! Several designers in Second Life have joined the “Do You 52?” movement; this means that if you want to use one of their items in your weekly color post, all you have to do is send a notecard to receive the item for review! BOOM, the creator of the shirt and scarf I am wearing, is one of the stores participating in this. I already had the thermal shirt in my inventory since the designer of BOOM sent it as a review item several weeks ago. Unfortunately, I was MIA when the review copies for the scarf were sent, but the scarf is so beautiful and so well designed that I had to go pick up a copy anyway which resulted in my one purchase for the week!

The pants I am wearing are part of a complete outfit, titled London Fog, from Lemania Indigo Designs. The outfit even includes an adorable pair of red boots! I’m not sure exactly how long I have had this in my inventory as I acquired it when I worked as a live model and personal stylist for Lemania. I checked to see if Lemania still has this design in store for all my lovely readers, and I couldn’t find it. Not to worry though! The outfit is still available on SL Martketplace. You really cannot go wrong with a complete outfit including shirt, pants, coat and boots for only L$395!

The shoes that I am wearing have been in my SL inventory for 10,000 years. Ok… not really, but you get the idea. Actually, I have never even worn the boots before I took this picture, but when [hoorenbeek] first released the shoes many months ago, I just HAD to have them! Not like me at all…. LOL! I knew that I would need them some day. I’m just good like that I suppose. Lol As with all other purchases I have made from [hoorenbeek], I am not disappointed in the quality of these shoes. They are exceptionally made with all the care that the designer puts into every release. Although the boots are titled Ellie, they are unisex. The boots are available in six colors including black, green, orange, purple, red and yellow at L$520 per pair or L$2,100 for the fatpack.

I am super excited that next week’s color is a shade of pink! Pink is my absolute favorite color; however, I am a little worried that I may not be able to find the exact shade of pink that is being featured. I’ve never even heard of cerise! I’ll do my best though… promise! =)

Shox!

Oh, how I love a new, fantastic pair of shoes! It has been quite a while since [hoorenbeek] released a new pair of athletic shoes, but the wait was well worth the amazing pair of shoes released yesterday! Shox, a virtual remake of the famous Nike Shox, are extremely well made and come in six fantastic color options including black/grey/green, black/grey/orange, black/grey/red, black/white, white/black and white/red. For this weekend only, you can purchase individual pairs for L$200 each or the fatpack for L$600. Normal prices for shoes at [hoorenbeek] are L$520 for single colors and L$2,100 for fatpacks including six colors.
