Defiant

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.

Week 4 of 52 Weeks of Color - Iron

52WoCC - Iron

I'm so proud of myself for keeping up with Luna's Color Challenge for four weeks in a row! I tend to be a terrible procrastinator which is perhaps why I didn't finish the last one. I know it is only week four, but I'm trying really hard to not get behind.

The adorable outfit I am wearing is The Sea Hole's contribution to the January collection of Collabor88. Both the Herron Skirt and the Minna blouse come in six colors at 88L each. There is also a cute parasol that has been designed to go with the outfit which is also available in six colors at 88L each. Now, I know this outfit isn't the mesh that I have been loving for the past month or so, but it is still a really pretty and classy outfit. Hopefully, Drinkinstein will start releasing some mesh items soon!

I couldn't have asked for a more perfectly matched accessory than the recent release from Izzie's. The necklace is part of a set that also includes rings and earrings titled Turquoise Jewelry Set. The set also comes in four additional colors including onyx, pruple stone, red stone and white stone. Two versions of each are included with your purchase: a set with resizers and one without.

Spring Frill

Spring Frill

The new mesh dress by Siss Boom is making me long for spring! I love the frilled accent at the top of the dress; it gives it a very fun, girly feeling. If this dress were system layers and sculpts, the accent piece would definitely be difficult to work with when wearing an AO; just one of the reasons that I am completely in love with mesh.

The pose I'm using for this photo was one of the very first poses with props that I purchased in Second Life. Olive Juice has always been a fun store for me to visit because of its unique, interesting products. Unfortunately, the designer no longer has time in her real life to continue her brand in Second Life and is closing shop. Until February 19th, all poses and props have been marked down 50%.

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.

Photobucket

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!

Photobucket

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.

Photobucket

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.

Designer Showcase

If you haven’t checked out the Designer Showcase lately, you may want to head on over. Since my last post, the event has fallen under new management and lots of new designers have joined up. As they say… Variety is the spice of life!

One of my favorite designs currently being offered at the showcase is Swan Lake by Riddle. I’m not typically a huge fan of sweaters in Second Life since they tend to have large prim pieces that many designers do not know how to blend correctly. Not that I could do it any better, but I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to adjusting prim pieces and small details drive me crazy! You will not find non-blending with these shirts, however! Prim attachments are included for the arms and of course for the bottom of the shirt. Not only does this shirt blend beautifully, but it has an amazingly gorgeous design on the front as well. Six colors of the shirt are included with your purchase for only L$99!

Photobucket

I paired Swan Lake with an amazing pair of sculpted heels by Jaqueline’s titled Calla. These black shoes contain bling on/off scripts, options for jewelry on/off, a hud to control texture, skin color and toe color, and an AO. The shoes also contain heel sounds. I haven’t had a pair of shoes with heel sounds since I first started playing Second Life; I had forgotten how much I like it! I love the sound of heels in real life, but unfortunately I cannot wear them due to tendonitis in my feet. It’s nice to still be able to experience the sound in my second life! You can pick these shoes up for only L$99!

Photobucket

As you have probably noticed if you have read my blog for any length of time or kept up with the blog feeds at all, Lemania Indigo Designs ALWAYS offers some pretty amazing deals. Lemania’s contribution to the showcase is no exception. Debutante is a lovely short blue dress with delicate floral designs. In true Lemania fashion, shoes are also included with your purchase. I love how the skirts on Lemania dresses flow.  If you love to go dancing, you should try one of her designs!  The effect is absolutely beautiful.  This dress is perfect for Spring and is available for only L$99!

Photobucket

I know I have said it before, but I really love that I have opened up to wearing different skins by various designers. A few months ago, you couldn’t have paid me to wear a different brand of skins. I truly love the Abigail 01A skin offered by Style by Kira at the showcase. The highlights and shadows blend beautifully with the skin, and the makeup is very soft. I so love the lips on this skin! The shimmer is absolutely beautiful; I wish I had some gloss like this in real life!! You definitely cannot beat a skin this pretty for only L$100!

Photobucket

I have wanted a set of pearls that had a mouth attachment for several months, but every time I saw one in a store, something just wasn’t right about them. Thankfully, my search is over! Bonita’s Jewelry has contributed a black pearl necklace titled Messy & Broken to the discounted collection at the showcase. I really love that this set of jewelry comes in two pieces just in case I don’t want to walk around Second Life with pearls stuck in my mouth. These pearls are very pretty and add just the right amount of class to any formal or casual outfit. To get the shine on the pearls as pictured, make sure your graphics are bumped up a bit. These can be yours for only L$75!

Week 16 of 52 Weeks of Color - Teal

Teal has been a much easier color for Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color than I originally thought it would be. As it turned out, I already had a lot of teal clothing in my inventory. Who knew? I really need to get organized!

The dress I am wearing is another beauty from Phoenix Rising. The last time I featured this store, I stated that it was closed and only select items were available via the marketplace. A very sweet person left me a comment with a SLurl to Phoenix Rising’s permanent discount store. I just assumed, I suppose, that this store would already be closed since the closing sale happened months ago. I guess amazingly crafted clothing set at only L$25 really continues to sale! So, if you missed the sale last summer, don’t worry! Click the link below for a TP to the discount shop.

Photobucket

A month or so ago I discovered a new fantastic skin designer while I was visiting one of the many discount shops in SL. Filthy Skins has now joined up with another newly formed discount shop titled The Fashion Garrett. Like many other discount stores, all items are between L$30 and L$70. I’m still amazed, but very thankful, that so many good skin designers participate in these stores. At one point in Second Life, good skin was a luxury. Until next weekend, you can pick up this skin, titled Annabelle, for only L$50… Super affordable!

While I was visiting The Fashion Garrett I picked up this stunning necklace from NHA, titled Nancita. When I was younger, I always thought pearls were for old women. The older I get (and I’m really not that old), the more I am falling in love with them. They speak elegance and beauty to me now. At only L$50, this set is a must have!

Photobucket

The hair I am rocking is the new design released from [elikatira], titled Novel. I really love how the style mixes playfulness with a touch of nostalgia. The beautiful flower and adorable hair band (which have a preset teal color!) are definitely a nice touch. It reminds me of a sweet spring or summer day and has me longing for warmer weather. I’m so tired of freezing!

Fifty Linden Friday

Photobucket

I absolutely love all the weekend sales, and there isn't a much better way to kick them off than with Fifty Liden Friday! There were a lot of great designers included on the list today, and I picked up quite a few items.

Lamb included two more of her styles in the exclusive honeycomb color that we saw a couple weeks ago. I don't normally wear a lot of blonde, but this color is gorgeous! Today, she is offering Sleepyhead and Ghost for L$50 each.

Just when I thought I had enough swimwear, I see Batkini!! This adorable bikini by Schadenfreude features a bat design on the top and bottom with a rainbow effect underneath. Schadenfreude is also offering a deep v vest that actually looks pretty good with the bikini! Who knew?!

I don't normally like changing my eyes or shape, but Turquoise Unicorn Studios is offering an adorable set of rainbow eyes that matched the Batkini so well!

Two purses are included in the purchase: one with an animation and one without.

Independence

I can't believe that it's already almost Independence Day! To prepare for the weekend celebrations on Second Life, I swung by two of my favorite Second Life shops to pick up a few items. A Touch of Ireland ... I know, it doesn't sound like a place you would go to pick up something for the American Independence Day ... specializes in costumes for everything from holidays to your favorite cartoon characters. I stumbled across this amazing store while doing a hunt when I was very young in Second Life, and anytime I need a new costume, it is the first place that I check. The outfits are so amazing, and I would recommend the store to anyone looking for a great costume. I picked up Red Stars, an adorably sexy red, white and blue dress that comes with two skirts, a top hat and a full set of jewelry. I also got a great bikini with hat and shoes included for only L$50! A Touch of Ireland also has an adorable freebie in the front of their store with a free skin included; so, of course I picked that up as well!

One of my favorite jewelry stores in Second Life, which I coincidently also found through a hunt, put a special set of jewelry out for Independence Day. EarthStones has created a jewelry set titled Fireworks! available in three colors, Independence, White Light and Multi. I picked up the Independence for the holiday weekend and White Light for other specials occassions in Second Life. The jewelry flickers and glows just like real fireworks! EarthStones always does such an amazing job with jewelry, and this set is definitely not an exception from the high standard for quality the designer has set for her store. EarthStones has also set out specials from last year as well for anyone who missed them and a freebie!

The Stumblebum Brigade

After five days away from Second Life, I just had to login tonight to see what I had missed! I don't know if I am being completely honest when I say "missed," however, since I had such an amazing week with my boyfriend. He is truly a gift from God which I do not in any way deserve. I was curious about what happened though! Hehe

The Stumblebum Brigade is a weekly event which I enjoy. Each week, a selected group of designers place an exclusive item in the front of their store which will only be sold for the week of the event. The sale runs from Saturday through Friday; so, I was able to catch this week's specials just in time before they disappear forever! I chose an extra cute top from Tres Blah titled Romantic Chemise (130L$) in beige and Bleached Jeans by Atomic (100L$ per pair or 200L$ for the fat pack) in gritty (also available in black and vintage).
