The Library!

Song For The Post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLluvXi5nOs

So tonight I was wandering around, exploring, as I happened upon this awesome club called The Library. The owner was there, and we chatted while I snapped these pics. It isn't finished completely yet, but I can tell you, this will be a home away from home. All warm and cozy, and with Athena looking for DJs to spin some eclectic indie type musics, I know I'll fit right in! Plan to see a lot more about this club as it opens in September!


My outfit tonight consists of my usual mashup of old and new, free and not.. And it perfectly suited my mood, comfy and cute, with a touch of the quirky thrown in. I am sitting in my sailboat listening to the rain POUR down in torrential sheets right now, swaddled in blankets, and if I wasn't in jammas, this is what I would want to wear irl.


This look started with the amazing cardigan from OhMai!. This was the opening 0L gift for the Switch sim (which is part of the creator's pavilion group). It comes in so many other colours, and I can tell you, I will be grabbing quite a few and making them a staple in my wardrobe. Once I had the cardi, I knew that I had to wear the Skipping Stones hunt gift from (epoque). I adore these glasses!


The hair is also from OhMai! and is a special version of Tiffee created exclusively for the Designer's United "jellyfish" exhibition, now over. It was 300L for a pack of 5 colours. With this, I am wearing Pig Shop's Alphabet City snug fit shirt (50L during a former 50L Friday), and the Vigoss jeans from A.Y.Y. (1L - now replaced with a different, yet equally awesome pair of jeans for 1L). My kicks are the same 0L ones from Maschienenwerk I blogged previously, but in white this time, and my skin is also the same from the previous post.


All pics, except the hair closeup, were taken @ The Library, and the poses from LAP (0L chubby girl pack from the poop hunt - I swear though, these poses work the best for my hips! Don't kill me Dove, I think I did them justice)

Blog Takeover!!!

Song For The Post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5KvR4dEKyQ

Hey all - just wanted you to know that now I am the mad mind behind the blog. JW just didn't have the heart for it anymore, but didn't want to see it die.. so now it is my hands - muahahaaa. You will find the same madcap dithering writing, and all sorts of great bargains and new shops to feed your addiction. Hopefully you haven't all abandoned hope on the blog, cos I can't wait to bring you some really fun things..


Firstie first!! Check out this bag of awesome! I can't get over the gifts Miel gives to their subscribo group, and if you are not 9in it, what the hell is wrong with you?? This bag is amazing and comes with 43970265274365625938845635 click change clolour options on every aspect of the bag, incl. whether or not you have your little bunneh with you or not. Also, it has a hold script which should work well with most AOs. There is a limited time this will be available to snag, so get over to Miel and slap the subscribo, you won't regret it!

Next up is a killer combo from Tiny Bird - the Lola hair in Brownie, and her amazing mod of Eloh Eliot's newest Starlight skins. The ahir was a free gift given during Shopping Cart Disco's Reader Appreciation day, and the skin is from the just ended Poop Hunt. I hope she thinks of making more skins, cos I am in love with all three makeups she created for the hunt. So lovely..


Look at these great kicks from Maschienenwerk! These honestly may be my favourite Chucks in SL. And the price can't be beat - 0L - just like everything at their shop. The best part is, they come in male and female sizes, and are size scripted for the best fit possible. I also have on Pig Shop's Socks mit Suspenders (25L during the 4th of July sale). I love these socks so much!


Finally, the piece that started the whole outfit - Doppleganger's 50 Linden Friday offering: Madras shorts in a limited Nantucket colouring. If you haven't heard of this awesome Friday event, I don't know where you've been! Basically, every Friday, a select collection of stores put out a top nitch, limited item for only 50L. These items are the creme de la creme of their collections, and very often are in colours that are only available for that friday. Make sure you hop on this opportunity, and there is even a group you can join to get updates on who is participating each week. With them, I slipped on one of my favourite basics - the milky ribbon tank from Sugarcube (1L). This is another group you need to join as Sayuri is incredibly generous to her subscribo group members, and I have a future post planned that will center around all the gorgeousness she creates.

All shots were taken @ the Festivale sim

Robotic <3

So today I went wandering around the Harold sim, taking pics for the Starlust Flckr contest, and I loved my outfit so much I had to blog it! It all revolves around these two gifts from Reek! - the huggable robot from the Feed Your Head hunt, and the little guy sitting on my shoulder (0L group giftie from the 4th of July - still available to subscribo members I believe). Technically it attaches to your head, but I just did a quick prim adjustment. I can't get over their cuteness! Totally adorable...


All the pictures I have taken here were pictures for the contest (2 I used, 2 I decided to put here). I'm all for the two birds with one stone yaddayadda. So, they were taken around the Harold sim, and I had a lot of fun doing them! All of the poses (aside from the last pic - that's my Line AO) are from (pda).


The rest of my outfit consists of *anuenue's Plaid Half Pants (150L prev blogged), Reek's Ouch! bandaids (99L/fatpack), their Batman Belt of awesome (175L prev blogged LOTS) and their Hidden Temple tee (150L/fatpack - I'm wearing the Faded Orange Iguanas - remember the Nick TV gameshow?? heehee). I also have on Wot's Hair 0014 (1L Harold sim Gift), Sh*t Happens kneesocks (purchased loooong ago), kicks from A.Y.Y. (250L- but I see they have a Lucky Board with these in them as well), Skull F'd glasses from Liquid Candy (50L) and I'm wearing Eloh Eliot's Pleiades Skin in Electra (0L at the Gnubie Store).


Tell me this porta-john is not the standard to which all others must aspire? And yet also very nervous-making.

Harold - Anchor City/Area 408 (a lot of these stores are right here, just wander around - others are in the Dogtown or Catty Campground areas just adjacent to here) - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harold/138/191/23

Gnubie Store (Eloh's skins are on the 3rd floor, but explore this place well, lots here) -

Fawny Love

Today OMGWTF of This Is A Fawn dropped the most beautiful dresses on me! I always squeee whenever I see she's released something new, and this was no exception. I'm in love with the slightly naughty floatiness. I've been flouncing around all day while struggling to take a decent shot *grin*. These dresses aren't released - YET - but they will be when she opens her mainstore (!!) on Saturday. Here's her NC detailing the fun:


1. I have my Hax Dresses for sale at my Fashion Mode location right now! they're 50% off at 70L each, or 170L for the fatpack of all three colors! the sale is throughout the entire mall, so please come by and wander around - lots of vendors have sale items out in their doorway.

hope to see you there!

The Leda dresses will retail at 140L/colour, and I think you absolutely need these. I might never take them off. In the first shot I am wearing the grey with my previously blogged lamb hair and boots. The second features the seafoam, with Pig Shop socks (0L group gift) and my favourite boots from Darkstar Designs (loooong since defunct, but still beloved by me), as well as the Rebecca hair from JUNWAVE (80L/colour). Here's a closer view of the gorgeous Hair Fair gift from Fuel (0L during the Hair Fair):


Finally I have the blush colour, which is paired with JUNWAVE's Sweet Lady hair (80L/colour), edge grafica's boots (now available for 1L instead of camping), and the same socks as shown with the grey.


All poses are from (PDA) and I took these at Project Kiwi's mainstore.

So FINALLY my SL is back! *makes extreme yay arms* I've not been able to de-cloud for ages now, and then my inventory wouldn't load, etc etc etc. It all pretty much started that infamous day all of SL but the infohubs died. BUT I'm back now *knocks on wood, crosses my fingers and throws salt over my shoulder*. I will say just how completely insane it was to take these pictures. For some reason, I have to hold the camera waaay out just to take a picture that isn't an upclose of my torso. The fun part was having to take 10 test shots to figure where the camera was going to take the picture, THEN pushing graphics to Ultra to take the shot. Oh and pray that some *coughs* person doesn't come along and knock you out of the rafters not once but three times in a row (yeah I'm talking to you!! Grrrrr). Hopefully these pics are up to snuff! I have many more things to blog, if I can just get the picutres taken - you should be seeing some fun things coming up!


First up is my hair! it's the new release from lamb. I'm sure everyone has seen it plastered all over the feeds, and at the hair fair, but I just can't get over how gorgeous it is, and just how much it is a look I really wear. It's called Dog Roses (300L for 4 pk of colours), and formed the idea for this outfit.


My outfit consists of mostly new things that I just love. My sweater and socks are both from Pig Shop (75L and 25L respectively during Pig Shop's 4th Of July sale). The pants are from Sugarcube, and they are so perfectly textured (150L - I think I missed a sale though). I also have on Sugarcube's Ribbon Shirt (0L) under the sweater. My boots of extreme fabulosity come from Lya (0L hunt gift during the My Heart Belongs to Daddy Hunt at Retrology). I loooooove these boots. They come with/without black lace options.


All of the poses here come from PIDIDDLE, and were taken at the starkly gorgeous Error sim.
