Collabor88 does South West in style!

Wow this round of Collabor88 is killer as usual and the colors and styles are just warm and inviting. I had so many favorite things, it was hard to pick what to show you all!

C88001

The Schadenfreude Amargosa Boots (Shown in Denim) are my favorite buy for clothing this round.  Also in love with this dress by Hucci and all of the Maxi Gossamer jewelry.

C88002

The Sweetwater room set by Cheeky Pea is killer.  It was the perfect addition to my beach front and I just had to take a picture using it as a prop.  I love Cheeky Pea’s style and the way pieces work together really makes their furniture very versatile.

Alice Project @ Zodiac!

So… I have been talking about this hair. This awesome, brilliant, beautiful perfect hair from Alice Project. This is the very best thing at Zodiac this round for me (and boy are there some killer finds!) This hair is worth its own blog post.

Joie301

It’s truly my current favorite, I hate to take it off. Love the bangs, love the textures, love the flow of it. Alice Project has one of the best hud systems for changing the colors as well, and I really appreciate that you get naturals and wild colors with streak options for one price, it really makes this hair not only great, but also a kick ass value for your lindens.  Where else are you going to get a hair this good, with this many options for this price?

Joie302

While we’re here, we should show off these mesh hands from Slink.  They are really cute, you can buy individual gestures, or different packs to mix and match.  I bought the fat pack, because…  well I couldn’t have just one.  They did take me a while to match to my skin, so be warned you will need to have a little patience. But once they are a match, they are lovely.

Style Card:

Hair: Alice Project - Steph (Infinity)
Hands: Slink - Meshed Rigged Hands
Catsuit: Graves – G210 Defense (White)
Glasses: GOS – Intuition
Jewelry: Mandala – Milky Way (Poly White)

Tomorrow, Today.

When times are hard, you do what you can to help others.  When need presents itself you roll up your sleeves and offer aid.  I practice this in my first life and as much as I can in my SL.  And while not every resident can have or needs a special fundraiser to help them with something personally devastating, occasionally such need does come along, and it is at these times we renew our faith in each other in some small measure.

Matchbook Monday, the maker of Amorous Jewelry and Accessories has asked for community support and aid to help her obtain a very costly dental procedure that may end years of continual costly dental work that has been personally and emotionally exhausting.

And so was born Tomorrow, Today. Held during the month of November, many great talents have come together and donated time and their professional work in hopes that some of you will come, shop and lend a hand.

Here are some of the awesome finds:

TT001

Featured: Asymmetrical Sweater and Cuffed Skinny Jeans by [trs]. Necklaces by Amorous.

TT002

Featured: Sassy! Flaunt Dress, Flaunt – Freedom Leg Tattoo, Jewelry by Amorous.

TT003

Featured: Eyes by IKon, Marilyn dress by Sugar & Cyanide, Jewelry by Amorous. Pose by WetCat.

I hope you will be moved to check out the beautiful sim, shop some, and show your support for this fantastic designer.

Deviance @ The Costume Ball!

There is a few more days left til Halloween and that means you have just a few more days to visit The Costume Ball.  So many great outfits and accessories!

Deviance001

This was such a cute sexy outfit, I decided I had to get it and show it off.  I normally don’t do pink, but this is such a luscious color, that it just struck me as ‘the one’.  It comes in a ton of different colors too! The maker is Deviance and the outfit is called “Devilish”, great for a club or party type Halloween event!  Oh, and the best part? Glitter. If you get all “Oh. Shiny.” over all that glitters… you might want to give this cute outfit a try!

  • Costume: Deviance – Devilish (Pink) (The Costume Ball)
    Includes Horns, Wings, Pitchfork, Tail & Bodysuit
    Skin: Glam Affair – Ginny

Haste & Pink Fuel @ The Costume Ball!

Well tonight is the first night in about a week that I have felt well enough to sit in front of my computer, work on pictures and write a blog entry.  I’ve just been too sick to do anything since about last Monday!  I’m so so so happy that I am starting to feel better.  I’ve been wanting to share these pics with you for quite a few days now!

Haste and Pink Fuel both have items out at The Costume Ball.  The set up is AMAZING if you haven’t been, you should consider checking it out.  If for some reason you haven’t heard of The Costume Ball, here is some info off the press release:

“From the 24th of October to the 1st of November, designers entered will be able to use free vendor space for The Costume Ball. They must make an item exclusive for the event, fitting the theme of “dark, but with class.” That means no gore, or repulsively overdone content that is tailored more outside of the bounds of culture.”

Haste002

Haste has put out this daring lace overlay dress that’s ready to slink into a dark couture party or onto a bedroom floor at a moments notice.

Haste001

Pink Fuel is one of those brands that makes a fabulous product, and doesn’t get near the press it deserves.  Beautiful skin tones, lovely shading and details, and for The Costume Ball, some make up that is vampish and deliciously out of this world.

Style Card:

  • Dress: Haste – Costume Ball Dress (The Costume Ball)
    Skin: Pink Fuel – Alyx (Vanilla, Siren) (The Costume Ball)
    Hair: Truth – Dawson (Raven)
    Shoes: G*Field – Alex (Black Suede)
    Nails: Synthetique – Ultimate French

Censored @ Cinema! & New Glam Affair!

I just keep finding things from Cinema that I can’t wait to show off.  I think I might even have one or two more posts planned! Crazy, I know.  Censored has come out with these really hot little short sets that I am just in love with.  It’s not my normal everyday type attire, and with Halloween hijinks happening all over, I just had to put together a bit of a darker look!

GlamAffair003

As soon as I got the group notice from Glam Affair I was headed over there for a few of these “Dark side” skins.  This one is Ginny 02 and I am in love! The close up below is edited quite a bit, but shows the beautiful detail of the markings on the face.  The uber pale tone and gorgeous details, make these skins absolute must-haves for me!  I’m sure I’ll be going back for the rest of them.

GlamAffair002

Style Card:

  • Overall: Censored – Alice overall (Lace 2) (Cinema)
    Skin: Glam Affair – Dark side (Ginny 02) (NEW!)

Are you Aware?

I’m sure you all know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we see loads of pink ribbons.  But did you also know that it’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the United States as well? The color for Domestic Violence Awareness is purple.  So if you see any purple ribbons, that’s what they stand for.

Awareness

But….  Did you know about the White ribbon?  The White Ribbon Campaign  (This is a Canadian link, but their are versions of it all around the world!) It’s MEN’s Awareness in ending domestic violence against women.

Together as human beings we make SL a truly international experience, this gives us an opportunity to share, learn, and educate each other about social issues that effect all people on the planet.  Education truly is power, and I hope of you will wear a little purple to spread the word.  Violence and abuse against anyone is intolerable.  Together, we can make a stand, spread the word, and let abusers know that it is not ok and not acceptable.

Volstead @ Cinema!

I have been back to Cinema about 4 times now and really have enjoyed all the finds.  It makes such a difference when an event is full of exclusive items and new releases.

Cinema004

The dress from Volstead is so pretty and fresh, it was a must have as soon as I saw it.  It’s mesh, but a lace overlay, over system layers.  This works really well for the piece and gives it an added dimension.  And the handbag from Boom was all “OMG I need that now!”

Style Card:

  • Dress: Volstead – Liaison (Sky) (Cinema)
    Skin: Glam Affair – Lilith (America)
    Hair: Truth – Jemima (Jupiter) (NEW!)
    Necklace: Maxi Gossamer – Dog Tags (Peaceful Love) (Cinema)
    Shoes: Pixel Mode – Baby T’s (Plain, Sky)
    Nails: Synthetique – Color Tactics
  • Handbag: Boom – Sweetheart bag (teal) (Cinema)

The bed in the corner is a Cinema item from Trompe Loeil, and the Chinese Medicine Cabinet and Bonsai tree are from Apple Fall. Your Limo to Cinema Here.
