It's On Sale!

After a short break, the It’s On Sale event is back! Items for this sale are placed out for customers for a one week period. Today is the last day of the sale for the items I am featuring today. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh? Lol A lack of time and an annoying illness prevented me from posting these sooner, but luckily you do still have a few hours to snag these goodies before they are gone.

If I had a time machine, one of the first eras I would love to visit would be the 1920s. I love the fashion from this time period and the general respect everyone gave to each other. Unfortunately, I don’t own a Delorean with a flux capacitor, but I do have Second Life which allows users to recreate and visit any time period. Cillan’gel’s Fashion Designs has set out an adorable flapper dress for It’s On Sale at only L$64. Cil No 1 features a low cut scoop neck, two flexi attachments and an adorable headpiece. I really love the textures featured on this dress; sparkle and shine always catches my eye!

I love an outfit which mixes casual with dressy. London by DEKA features beautiful knee length shorts, a shirt with attached cuffs and collar and a separate layered vest. The shirt and vest can be worn together or separately which gives variety with this outfit. The colors are absolutely beautiful together; black gives a strong mood while the light blue makes the outfit also soft and approachable. Pair this outfit with heels for a working girl look or flats for a day in the park! At only L$75, this outfit is a definite must.

Last, but certainly not least, ONE Fashion Design has an adorable dress out that will take you back to the late 60s. DQ Retro Stripes includes a flexi skirt, a belt and a sculpted collar. The design is adorable; black and white are always a classy combination and a staple of any wardrobe. Pair this design with a knee high boots to give a very retro look or a pair of heels for a more dressy/casual look; a pair of flats would also go beautifully with this design to give it a completely casual, picnic in the park look. Until midnight SLT, this dress will be available for the It’s On Sale price of L$100.

Week 19 of 52 Weeks of Color - Umber

Ok… So, I know that my photo for this week isn’t even close to being mostly made of umber, but it’s all for a good cause! Tomorrow is the opening day of Fashion for Life, a Second Life fashion extravaganza designed to raise awareness and funds for Relay for Life. My picture was taken on one of the nine grayscale SIMs; even with a lack of color, the SIMs are beautifully designed. I promise you will not be disappointed! The nine SIMs incorporate a complete walk through design from one SIM to the other making navigation very easy!

While I was shopping during the blogger preview day this evening (it was really an amazing experience with very little lag!), I picked up this beautiful ‘umbrella’ dress by TOSL. Like so many other colors with this challenge, what I consider to be umber isn’t quite the shade that Mrs. Luna has presented on her color swatch. For me, it is a little darker. I suppose though that as long as I stay within the earthy tones I should be pretty much okay. I really love this adorable short dress. I’m a huge fan of glitter and sparkles in real life; so, the top of the dress and the darker lines just did it for me. I also love the lace around the top and the sheerness of the skirt. Femininity with a touch of class! Umbrella by TOSL will be available on the Arbus SIM for a donation for L$360 until March 22.

Blossom

I’m so happy that spring is almost here. It was so nice to hear frogs when I was outside today; I just wish that the weather would stop teeter tottering. I really love that many great designers are starting to put out spring items. It really brightens my days. =)

JANE released a couple new outfits this week, one of them being the absolutely adorable Blossom set. The Blossom Dress is an adorable elongated babydoll; I really prefer this style over the obscenely short versions that barely cover the necessities. The texturing with this dress is very nice; I love the drawn folds under the breasts and down to the bottom of the sculpt; it really gives it a realistic look. The pattern of the dress is very nice as well. The flowers are just too adorable! The dress is available in three color choices at L$150 each or L$295 for the greedy pack.

The Blossom Cardigan is sold as a separate piece and looks great with the dress or even with other clothing. The cardigan features short sleeves and a flared out design below the breasts. An adorable string holds the cardigan together at the top with a sculpted bow attachment. The texturing is very beautiful with a realistic knitted look. Four colors are available at L$100 each or L$225 for the greedy pack.

What goes better with a beautiful spring dress than a big floppy hat? Amacci released new hair and new makeup this past weekend, and both are absolutely gorgeous! The Alissa hair is a long style with a beautiful sun hat attached. A color change HUD is included for the hat; select from preset colors or enter your own RGB! Your choices are really limitless when it comes to colors with this hat. Options are also available on the HUD to adjust transparency, glow, shininess and size. Want the hair without the hat? No problem! A hide hat option is also included. What the hat without the hair? No problem there either! A separate hat is also included with your purchase. Color packs are available for L$275 each and fatpacks for L$975.

I absolutely love the new tattoo layer makeup from Amacci! The Divine eye shadows and eyeliners most definitely live up to their name. The shine and shimmer is absolutely stunning. Nine light colors and nine dark colors are available with an option for lashes or no lashes. I’m wearing a selection from the dark pack titled Pink (With Lashes). Each pack is available for L$375 or L$600 for both packs. My lips are also a tattoo layer from Amacci which were released a few weeks ago. The Frosted Lips are simply yummy! I love how they have a touch of shine without going overboard. Four packs of ten colors each are available for L$375 each.

New @ Amacci

It has been entirely too long since my last hair post. I miss them… I definitely need to do more! Last weekend Amacci released four new hairstyles, all of which I love! I have long, brown hair in real life; so, I always love when I find a nice long style in world. Coralee and Coralee II are both very pretty and move very smoothly; the only difference between the two hairs is the length and style of the bangs. Melody and Viola are two beautiful updos which also feature a difference in bangs. Melody features ‘no bangs’ and looks best when paired with an Amacci hair base as pictured below; Viola features sweeping full bangs. Individual color packs are available for L$250 and fatpacks are available for L$900.

Fussy Finery

After a long Monday at work, it was nice to come home and see a new design that is so sweet and still very chic. Fussy Finery is the newest creation from Lestat Reuven, owner and designer of Siss Boom. This adorable dress features a sculpted skirt, sculpted sleeve cuffs and a sculpted scarf. I love the texture found on this dress! It’s such a soft pink; it speaks comfort to me. For a limited time, Fussy Finery will be available for L$100.

It seems as though I am constantly discovering new (to me) skin designers via The Dressing Room, and I absolutely love it! Natural Beauty, formerly Tik Tok, is the guest this week at The Dressing Room Blue and has including the Olga skin (tan) as a special for only L$60. This skin is absolutely stunning! I love the coloring on the eyes; the designer has added just enough darkening to make it pretty without completely over doing it. The color of the lips is perfect for me! It reminds me of my lips in real life; the color looks very natural with just a hint of gloss added.

Amacci is having a Winter Hair Sale through January 16th. All color packs (6 – 7 colors) have been reduced to L$85 per pack and all fatpacks have been reduced to L$295. Amacci has many styles including short, medium, long, braids, ponies, updos and even male styles. I am wearing Jessica in Mocha, an adorable updo featuring folds in the back and cute, swooshing bangs in the front. You don’t want to miss this sale!

Fall's Twilight

The beautiful colors that appear in nature during the fall have always captivated me. I love sitting and watching the leaves fall outside my window. The reds, oranges and yellows seem to just naturally go together. The almost FREE (L$1) dress at A Touch of Ireland, titled Samhain Fall, reminds me of those falling leaves. The colors are rich, deep and absolutely amazing! Jewelry, nails and skin are also included with the dress!

I absolutely love it and get so excited when I go to a newly discovered (to me) store and find designs that are interesting and different than 'mainstream' Second Life. The costumes at Fierce Designs on Fierce Island are just that! As I do my "Halloween Special" over the next week, I will also be including costumes from Fierce Designs (and any other store I find interesting)! Today's costume is a reflection of my 'love' for vampires. I'm not entirely sure why I have always been so interested in them, but give me a good vampire book or vampire show (preferably one featuring Eric Northman haha!) and I will be happy! This costume includes both a long and short skirt version; a skin is also included.

Irina

Quite honestly, I have never liked the thought of using various brands of skin as some bloggers do. I always felt that it somehow changed my identity because I never looked even remotely the same as I did before. Today, however, I tried on an Amacci skin for the very first time, and I must admit that a new love affair (like my hair affair) may be brewing for skins! The Irina skin is offered is sixteen fantastic styles and five different shades; I am wearing Irina in Fresh below with the Inga shape also by Amacci. With each makeup, you will receive a regular skin, skin with cleavage, skin with hairbase and a hairbase + cleavage skin. Prices are as follows:

• 1 Makeup - L$900
• Set of 8 Makeups - L$2500
• Inga Shape (No Modify) - L$350
• Inga Shape (Modify) - L$700

New @ Amacci

I'm back from vacation, but I honestly don't feel like it lasted long enough. It never does though. I so miss the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. I could hear them at night while I fell asleep; it was so amazingly relaxing and calming. I don't, however, miss having to shower fifty times a day to get all the sand off of me and still managing to find more on me later! I do believe that if I ever lived by the ocean I would just have a swimming pool so that I wouldn't have to worry about all the sand and the waves knocking me over! As long as I had the view and the sounds, I would be good.

Amacci released four fantastic hair styles this week. I absolutely love a good updo, and I was definitely not let down with Lara, Lena, Liana and the Hair Knot. Lara, Lena and Liana all three have a fabulous full pony in the back with a variation of bang styles in the front. Liana can be worn without the Amacci hair tattoo, but it looks better and more natural with it. The Hair Knot is so simple and elegant which is something that I absolutely love! Sure, a fancy updo that really stands out is nice sometimes, but occasionally a simple, pulled back bun is the most flattering style.

Early Paris

Of all the Fashion Fest 2010 SIMs, Early Paris was probably my favorite. The designer did an amazing job; the layout was very easy to follow and the buildings and decorations were beautiful. While I was there, I picked up five Relay for Life items! Designers include Salt, Amacci, Black&Blue Outfitters, Cherry and SD Wears.
