Darla

I love mix and match clothing; if all you ever have is pre-made, already put together outfits, life can get a bit boring.  Eclectic Apparel recently released a Mix 'n Match line with pieces that could truly go with just about anything.  The Darla Blazer and Pants do have a dress feel to them, but you could easily pair the blazer with a stunning pair of jeans and get a more casual look.  The Bronte Top is the perfect undershirt; it's both delicate and feminine.  The top also is able to hold its own as a stand alone piece if you want to lose the blazer.  The Darla Blazer and Pants are available in fifteen colors each, and the Bronte Top is available in sixteen colors.  Five sizes and an alpha layer are included with each purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview the items.

Eclectic Apparel's contribution for CHIC2 is a little more casual and a lot more sexy!  The Cheer outfit is a design that, like the name suggests, is designed after athletic outfits.  The outfit is available in nine versions of white and nine versions of black.  As with all other Eclectic Apparel mesh, five sizes and an alpha layer is included in the purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview the outfit.

Retro

I love fashion with flair, and PurpleMoon's contribution for CHIC Management's 2nd birthday bash has just that!  The Chica Top and Trousers have a very 70s vibe to them.  The texturing on the trousers gives them an almost touchable quality; they have a very soft feel that makes me wonder exactly what kind of material Poulet was aiming for.  If it was velvet, I'm glad my ava is wearing it and not the real life me... especially in this weather!  Both the top and pants are mesh items; five sizes are included for both as well as multiple alpha layers.  The top is available in six colors and the trousers are available in eight colors.  A free demo is available for you to preview.  The event closes June 24th.

52WoCC - Pueblo

I'm still so far behind on my 52 Weeks of Color posts, but I promise that I will get caught up!  Week Nineteen's color 'pueblo' was really difficult for me.  It is a color that reminds me of rust, but a very orange rust.  I honestly don't think that I captured true pueblo in my picture, but I really love the dress... That counts for something.  Right?

The dress I chose is a newish design from JANE titled Jenelle.  The dress is available in three color combinations as well as a different texture in three different colors under another name, Sparrow.  As with all JANE mesh designs, a free demo is available for you to try before your purchase, and each item contains five sizes and an alpha layer.

What's better than getting an adorable new outfit?  Getting it for free of course!  A couple weeks ago I blogged an adorable mesh skirt that I paired with an even more adorable mesh jacket from Eclectic Apparel.  The store is now participating in the Mesh Around Hunt, and the prize for finding the hunt item (a blue M) is the Carolina Blazer in an exclusive plum color for the hunt.  Five sizes and an alpha layer are included in the product, and if you aren't sure if you will like it on you... you can always try the free demo for the twelve other colors the jacket is available in!  The hunt item is absolutely free.  Happy hunting!

Don't like hunting but love slapping boards?  SAKIDE has these adorable mesh pants up on the store's Midnight Mania board.  At the present moment (1:30 pm SLT) there are 58 people registered with a 150 target.  An incredible seven sizes and an alpha layer are included in the prize along with a system layer top that was a bit too low for my personal preference.  Grab a few friends and go hit the Midnight Mania.  There is still plenty of time to get 150 people before midnight!

The skin I am wearing is new from Al Vulo.  The 2nd birthday party for CHIC Management opens today at 4 pm SLT, and the Baba2 skin is the exclusive item from Al Vulo.  The skin is available in seven skin tone packs that include three makeup options, cleavage/no cleavage options, hairbase/no hairbase options, modify lashes and a no modify shape.  The skin is not a freebie, but it definitely well worth the price!

Moody

CHIC Management will be turning two this month and has decided to celebrate with a shopping event featuring 150 Second Life designers.  Really... is there a much better way to celebrate?  One designer who will be featured at the 'party' is coldLogic.  Moody is an event exclusive and will only be available at CHIC2 for the duration of the event; afterwards, you will be able to pick it up at coldLogic.  The adorable summer dress is available in three textures and comes in standard sizing.  I really love how fun and girly this design is; it is a piece you can dress up or dress down to something more casual.  A perfect piece for my inventory.  The event opens June 3 at 4 pm SLT.  Mark your calendars!
