Learning to walk again

Hello again my lovelies, today I'm showing off a little more from the Four Corners Event (running Dec 17th - 31st), spiced up with a dash of the offerings from the With Love...Again Hunt, as well as some Fashionably Dead and Maitreya newness just for good measure.  With so much going on in world, how is a simple girl to keep up?

I am completely infatuated with this Jacket from Beetlebones, it's one of the many treasures waiting for you at 4 Corners and it is just to die for!  It is Mesh, so you will need a mesh enabled viewer to see it, but c'mon if this jacket doesn't entice you to embrace mesh, than I don't know what will!!

Also a little note about the sweater I am wearing.  I adore Gawk, all of their items are so well made, and for a mere $10L it can be yours.  It is the prize on offer for taking part in the With Love...Again hunt that is currently running.  There are so awesome pieces on offer for you with this hunt and I would really recommend getting into the spirit and going and finding the little red gift boxes!

4 Corners, which side are you on?

4 Corners is an event that is the brain child of the amazing Emily Kaestner of Croire.  The basic theme is the promotion of four current fashion trends being Delicate Damsel, Bikes and Spikes, Alluring Modesty and Delightfully Bright.  The sim is literally divided into four corners, one for each theme.  The designers participating are confinded to the theme of their relevant corner and oh my are there some awesome goodies to be had!  Most of what i'm wearing come from the Bikes & Spikes corner, which I pesonally had a lot of fun in!

The event started at midnight so is open NOW.  All that is left to decide is, whose side are you on?

Don't change your mind, you're wasting light

I fell in love with Lara Hurley Skins at Vintage Fair (I know, I know, I was slow to get on that train!) so upon a visit to the store recently I found the stunning new skin release Emma.  There is absolutely nothing about this skin that I just simply don't adore. 

Also, new handbags make me happy... you need House of Fox in your life!

Black Friday

You may have heard of this little Black Friday Sale going on over at The Warehouse.  Armidi have pulled out a lot of their old treasures and gotten together with several other stores including The Body Shop, Abyss and The Botique and put together this rather delightful $100L sale for today only!  (I'm running a little late posting about it because my computer has a sick sense of humour).

Despite the fact that Armidi hasn't really released anything new in a long long time, many of their garments still hold up against current Second Life designs.  There certainly are some bargins to be had, so make sure you join The Warehouse group and head on over before midnight.

 I've been in the biggest blogging rut ever for what seems like months but between Vintage Fair, Emery Newness and a House of Fox sale, I think I may have found my mojo again.

Fastest girl in town

Hi folks, one day i swear i will get back into the swing of posting more often than once every other week, i feel like a bit of a duck out of way lately but anywho...  I've wanted to do an all white outfit for a long time now i've just never been able to find the right pieces to pull it all together..until i found this jacket!  Isn't it to die for?  It's the newest release from Leezu and I just had to have it. The detail on this is just amazing, honestly you have to see it for yourself!   Now the sign does say sculpted system mesh??  I have no idea what that means and I can't find any actual mesh per say, but thought I should mention just in case. 

We also, finally, have the full release of the new Illusory skin called Paige.  I looooove her!  The fatpack is a little on the pricey side, but if you love Ivy's skins as much as I do then it is a definite must have.

Croire have released a super cute set of tattoo nail polishes annnd they are FREE... I am a big BIG fan of tattoo nail polish mainly because it is so convenient and I am a little retarded when it comes to trying to fit prim nails, so these were right up my ally.  If you are prim nail challenged too check them out! The nail colours are split into three packs and are or will be available from separate locations - The Earth pack will be available for free from the Seraphim HQ soon. The Delicates will be a free gift at Vintage Fair, opening November 11 and the Brights pack are already available at the main store depraved hunt gift.

Last but not least these gorgeous shoes from Pixel Mode were new out this week as well, I adore the wood detail on them.  The wood is changeable through a hud so you have a degree of customization available and if that isn't enough to entice you there is a special little jewellery pack thrown in with the shoe box as well.

Cause this city is my city

Hello my sweets, i know it has been a while but I've been having no end of crashing viewer issues, which always making blogging so much more enjoyable.  Be that as it may, there are just too many tasty treats getting around at the moment, to not persevere and show you some stuff. 

This delightful dress from Tram was new when i bought it (a month ago) but if you haven't seen it yet, I would highly recommend it.  Well crafted and versatile I had a lot of fun playing dress ups with it.  It is mesh though, so make sure you have a mesh enabled viewer and of course try the demo before purchasing.

The hair I'm wearing may just be my favourite mesh release so far, it was a beauty from LeLutka a couple of weeks ago and i looove it.  In fact, i haven't taken it off since I purchased it.

The last thing I have been dying to show you are these stunning eyes from Fleur du Mâle.  The shots below are raw from SL so you can get a true feel for how they look.

Fleur du Mâle is a relatively new brand that, for the moment, just creates eyes.  But if these eyes are anything to go by, I am very much looking forward to seeing what they do next.  As you can see the colour combinations are gorgeous and you get a plethora of size and shade options in the pack when you purchase it.  The above is just a small sample of the tones available.  Since they say the eyes are the windows to the soul, you really should make this a stop on your next shopping trip.

Modiva Fashion Week with The Secret Store

Modiva Fashion Week is an event on most bloggers calenders that can not be missed.  Some of the top designers in Second Life coming together to put on a spectacular show of new and stunning pieces for our enjoyment.  One of the collections I was most looking forward to was of course the amazing offerings from Miss Maylee Oh of The Secret Store.  It will come as no surprise to anyone who reads my blog that any day The Secret Store releases new goodies I'm thrilled, but to release a whole new collection of pure fabulousness... it was like all my Christmases had come at once.    I could gush on for pages about how much I adore all the new pieces on offer, but really nothing I can say will do it justice, so i will simply say Maylee never disappoints and this has never been more true than with her new collection!  Bright, colourful, mix and match and exquisitely crafted new clothes await you, so grab your taxi and check it out!

In another equally important new, Dutch Touch is having a skin sale and pretty much everything is marked down which of course means, it's time to stock up!  No end date has been advertised for the sale, but i would recommend getting there in the next couple of days if you can.

Baggage Claim

This outfit is completely inpired by That 70's Show, largely because I spent most of the week watching a bit of a marathon of it that was running, so here you go, my ode to the 70's!

There isn't too much newness in this post with the exception of this stunning new skin from Glam Affair.  Anyonewho knows me, knows how much I love Aida's skins but Gio completely flawed me, she is sooooo purrrdy!

Don't stop 'til it feels right

Hi, how are you all doing?!  Yes, i know this photo is very bright, but i've been having an absolute hell of a time with viewers black screening me, so in the end, I had to pick the best of a bad bunch of shots, hopefully they aren't too awful.  Either way don't let my cruddy photo taking ability sway you from checking out all the yumminess there is.

This dress Maylee Oh released for The Dressing Room last cycle (yes i know, I'm late... sorry!) but it should be available in her shop, if not now, then very soon.  The dress itself does also come with a beautiful big flouncy blue bow and belt, that I am not wearing in this shot, but it screams fun and is so versatile!

The skin I'm wearing is a new release from Apple May Designs that goes by the name of Kat.  I first stumbled across AMD at Pure Juice earlier this year and I have to say whilst that skin was cute, Apple May skins are improving more and more with each release.  There is a sweetness about AMD skins, and I haven't seen too many shapes they don't work on!

Last but not least, I have to totally admit I stole this bag from a blog Harlow Heslop did earlier this week, so thank you Harlow!  The bag is gorgeous and the detail is AMA-ZING!  The bag is mesh, so if you haven't upgraded your viewer yet you won't be able to see it in world.  But upgrading to a mesh capable viewer is worth it, even if it is to just get this bag!

Echos and silence, patience and grace

A little bit more from the stunning new collection available at LaViere with a dash of lots of my other favourite things!  I can't begin to tell you how much I adore this dress, whilst it works perfectly on its own i preferred to pair it with these spiffy leggings made by the fabulous Steffy Ghost. 

Also, I'm loving these skin previews that Ivy Graves has been tossing around for the new line that is due to hit illusory stores eventually.  This particular skin was available at the launch of Collabor88 for a mere $88L (seriously how attractive is that price?).  I believe the skin is still available until the 7th of September but I may be wrong.  I have included a link to the Collabor88 event though for anyone who wishes to check it out.

We built these paper mountains, then sat and watched them burn

LaViere has released a gorgeous new collection and I think Azure Electricteeth has really excelled herself.  I couldn't choose a favourite out of the new releases so I'm pretty sure I go one of just about everything.  Many items feature accents which are tintable which I love as a point of difference.  If you haven't check it out yet, I'd highly recommend it!

Also, Zigana has redone her sim and it is just beautiful, with many many awesome areas to snap some pictures.  Lili Brink has done a post about it here, but seriously step away from Harry Potter Your Story for a half hour or so and go and see it, it's worth the visit.

One of these days

Hi hi, I'm slowing getting back into the swing of this blogging thing.  Trust me when I tell you that you don't wanna know how long it took me to actually get a decent shot out of Second Life.  I'm waaay outta practice.  I'm trying a new picture layout, I've seen a few people do this now and I actually quite like it.  It shows all the detail without redonkulously large pictures slowing down the blog or associated feeds, especially for people on slower connections but we will see, I tend to get bored easily.

Fifty Linden Friday last week was a definite goldmine for the thrifty shopper.  I've been wearing this dress from Tres Blah ever since and, as of about 5 minutes ago, it is still up in Juliette's shop at Lula for $50L so if you haven't got it yet... go go go

Last but not least, I was very humbled last week to have my blog invited to join the Style Academy.  In case you haven't heard of it, it is a somewhat new feed dedicated to high quality style and photography.  It's definitely worth checking out and I'm thrilled to have been invited along for the ride!

Where the green grass grows

Ohai it's been a while.  I've been busy setting up and decorating my new SL home the last few weeks, i almost forgot I had a blog... opps.  Fortunately for me, the darling miss demi, was sweet enough to send me a copy of her latest additions to the Boom line being these very cute crochet vests and denim shorts.  Available in an abundance of colours it's sure to satisfy even the most discerning of shoppers.  One of the things I absolutely adore about demi's releases is that I find her sculpt sizing to be more accommodating than a lot of others, if somethings all but fits me straight outta the box, I'm a happy girl and will shout it from the roof tops. 

Also, in case you have been living under a rock and didn't know, the new and improved Cupcake Sim has reopened and the new design is absolutely breathtaking.  Many of the amazing shops on this sim (and trust me, the list is HUGE) have released some exclusives for the reopening including Dutch Touch which has released a special edition of the Mensje skin that was released earlier this year.  If you happen to be one of the poor souls that follows me on plurk, you will know Mensje has been one of my favourite skin releases from Dutch Touch and the opportunity to get her in the new skin tones that Iki has release is just too good to pass up!

Bloom Dolls & Fast Cars

I've been watching the feeds over the course of the day and everyone has been doing the cutest versions of these beyond adorable Bloom dolls from Surf Clothing Company, so I decided to be a little different and do a sporty spice doll instead!  Seriously folks, don't even ask if you should get these, just go and do it!  At the very least, the weird looks you will get wandering around Shoe Fair make it totally worth it!

Next up the lovely Katey Coppola of Glitterati, was nice enough to send a few blogger copies out of her new pose prop.  There are 20 poses included (10 male and 10 female) and oh my goodness, the fun you could have with this!  The car is a stationary prop only so no drive bys in your future but whether you want to be a total dork (like me) or rock the sexy " which is better, me or my car" look, there is something for everyone.  And of course, as with most Glitterati props, all the poses are super easy to modify so you can make them fit any shape!  I believe this sex on wheels I mean, car prop is out now, so once you have finished at Surf Co, head over to Glitterati and snap this up too!

I wish I was a baller

Does anyone else remember Skee-Lo?  No?  Well he sang thing song about wishing he was a baller, to this day I can't listen to it without laughing.  On to more serious things though, isn't this new sports bra cute?  It's Demi's latest edition to her expanding line at Boom.  The minute I got it I knew i was going to be wearing my new LeLutka hair and strutting around a basketball court with my new LAP basketball prop!

I am happiest when it's a Glam Affair

You will always find me bouncing off the walls with excitement when I get word of the fact that Glam Affair is about to release a new skin and the introduction of Layla was no exception.  Isn't she lovely?

The below picture is a selection of makeups that are available in the fatpack for this delicious skin.  The shots are raw from SL so you can get a true indication for just how stunning Layla is without my lack of photoshop skills screwing it all up.

There is also an abundance of tattoo layer lipsticks available for the lovely miss Layla so you can mix and match your eyeshadow with your choice of lip colour and I am a big big fan of this!!

Layla is currently available from the Skin and Shape Expo, and honestly she is worth fighting the lag for as Aida Ewing never disappoints!

In other newness we have this delight new dress from S H I N E which is currently available at The Fashion Garret, as much as I do adore this dress though I have to caution that the shoulders are no mod, which makes it interesting to try and fit.  I'm sure designers have their reasons for no modding items, but as a consumer i struggle to understand it myself.

Last but now least LaGyo has had a new release in their Mademoiselle collection and my goodness.. breathtaking is all I can say!
