Hair Fair 2012 - Omhai, LeLutka & Clawtooth

This will be my last Hair Fair post for this year, I would have loved the opportunity to show you more but sadly time is running out as Hair Fair is in it's last day for 2012!  As always, its been an absolute pleasure to be a member of the blogging community promoting Hair Fair this year and just when you thought it was all over just remember only 365 days until Hair Fair 2013 :D!

 Ohmai - Chloe, Gillian & Myer Stars Collide

I simply can't walk past anything created by Anya Ohmai and her hair at Hair Fair this year was true to form.  I think these three styles were the only non mesh hair I purchased all fair but they were simply too cute to say no too!

LeLutka - Magdalen, Salome & Versage

You can always count on LeLutka to come up with something on trend yet new and exciting, Salome is possibly one of my favourites of the fair this year, totally worth checking out!

 Clawtooth - Starlight, Going Steady & Serendipity

And last but not least is the ever amazing Clawtooth who seems to master the art of beautiful flowing feminine hair better than almost anyone!

Last but not least is a reminder that as today is the last day of Hair Fair it is bandanna day, the day to remove your hair, purchase a bandanna for $50L and show you care.  Please support this truly unique event and as always if you haven't been to the fair yet... get your butt there.... now!

And so they laugh at the sad sad clown

There is a new event taking place right now called Epoch Legend and if you haven't visited yet, then quite seriously, stop whatever you are doing and goooo, it is fabulous!  The event is divided into three sections (landmarks to all sections are available from the Creators Cafe) and Maylee Oh of The Secret Store has released this stunning Circus outfit for the event.  So often in Second Life I find myself wearing many many items that I wear or would wear in my day to day life, so I had a lot of fun branching out into something new.   The outfit is mesh and includes the hat, the outfit itself and the stockings, and is available in the 5 standard sizes... really go visit, take lots of $$$, you won't regret it.

Just one word caution regarding the Epoch Legend event, many of the builds are mesh and you will need a mesh enabled viewer to attend the event.

The amazing background set that I am using in this picture is a release from Tableau Vivant and you can get one of your very own by visiting Festival of Sin.

52 Weeks of Colour - Patina

Yup, I'm running a little behind!  One of these days I swear I'll figure out how people actually manage to keep up... in the mean time... bare with me.

My loves of the week are definitely this hair from Vive 9 and this skin from The Body Co.  Also, was great to pull out some oldies and blow the dust of this sweater dress from E! Eclectic Apparel and Accessories, I adore it as much today as I did when I originally purchased it many moons ago.

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.

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!

The crow and the butterfly

I've been traipsing around in various stages of this outfit now for nearly a week and it all started with this delightful skirt from The Secret Store.  We have seen it released in various colours at a few of the charity events that are scattered throughout at the moment but finally the full range has been released a Maylee's store.    As with  pretty much everything I own from The Secret Store (which is nearly the whole store, shhh don't tell no one) this skirt is amazingly crafted, I really do think she has a gift for sculpting and would highly suggest you get one of your very own.

Newness from both Pink Fuel and The Secret Store means you can colour me one happy lil chickadee! What is even better is that both pieces of said newness are available from the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser, which means your $L go toward a very important cause.

Maybe we should just shutup

So much stuff going on at the moment it's hard to keep up.  First up we have Pure Juice, many bloggers have already covered this event so I'm not gonna ramble except to say, this jacket from Ladies Who Lunch is pure love! Next up we have one of a few new releases from The Secret Store in these divine tights, I'm a mad sock, tights, leggings person so I gleefully added these to my wardrobe and as with most Secret Store releases there is a huge abundance of colours to choose from.  Last but not least we have this super schmexy body suit from Mons which you can currently find on sale at The Fashion House for a mere $50L.  Oh also just a quick word about these boots, I had never heard of Kas before until I saw Aida blog them on SLuxury, i was intrigued so I had to check them out.  I have to say they are superbly crafted, colour changeable and a total steal at $299L you really should check em out.

But you played it to the beat

Maylee Oh of the The Secret Store is making quite the name for herself lately.  I really enjoy watching a store that a few months ago was a little gem a few people had stumbled across explode in popularity, largely due to the designer consistently impressing people with their fabulous designs.  This most recent release from Maylee is no exception,  it was released for The Cellar event at the  Euphoria Sim so head over there (not her main store) and pick one up for your very self.

Ladylike

And there's a part of you

that's just a little scared of her

axis turns the world

and you need a jet to get to her

she's great and she knows

how to wear the pants

and the rest of your clothes...

Every now and again I like to slip outta my oh so comfy jeans and surprise people.  See ma... I can look like a lady, somtimes...
