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.

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!

Defiant

There's just something about pretty mesh that always makes me want to squee.  Eclectic Apparel is one of the newest and upcoming stores when it comes to mesh clothing; the designs are absolutely beautiful and the textures are so soft and inviting.  The Defiant Mini Skirt is one of the most recent releases from the store, and I honestly cannot get enough of the design.  It is short, but it definitely isn't too short for the dressy-casual look that I love so much.  The texture looks so soft and smooth; I would really love to be able to actually reach out and touch it.  The skirt is available in twelve colors, and a free demo is available for you to try.

I paired one of the Femme Lace Camis from JANE with the skirt, but I really needed something to pull the entire outfit together... That's when I spotted the Carolina Blazer, also from Eclectic Apparel.  The short design makes it perfect for wearing with skirts, pants, capris or shorts!  The blazer also comes in twelve colors, and a free demo is available for you to try.

Kate

Such a pretty mesh dress just in time for Easter! Or, as I like to call it, Resurrection Sunday. Whatever you celebrate (or don't celebrate), you will definitely want to visit Eclectic Apparel if your taste in clothing is dressy casual to formal. This recently opened store features a variety of mesh clothing including tops, bottoms, coats and dresses. I really love the softness of the textures used by the designer; they definitely have a very feminine feel to them. The Kate dress is available in eight colors. Your purchase includes five sizes, an alpha layer and shadow layers which I absolutely love. A free demo is available for your purchasing convenience.

I really love jewelry from EarthStones, but unfortunately the pieces are on my 'not to purchase frequently' list because they are a bit pricey and I live on an SL budget (Poo!). However, there is good news! EarthStones is one of the many talented designers who participates in Collabor88 where the Neisha Set is available. The necklace and earrings are sold separetly with a combined price of 276L. Six different colors are available, and if you like the set you better not wait too long to snag it up because the new collection of Collabor88 will be out April 8th.

Like my hair? This is truly and oldy but goody. I used to live in my fri.day hair but it kind of faded to the background when Parvarti Monday (aka Elika Tiramisu) stopped making hair for the store. Dylan is still available with four color pack purchase options.
