Blog Hero Challenge - Week Nine - Pretty Woman.

You wouldn't believe how hard this one was. Strangely, I know the movie by heart, I love the song and yet, it took me days to put together that picture. And I'm not even happy with it. Week 9 (already!) of Shay's Blog Hero Challenge is the ever so famous Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman, and I chose to go with Julia Roberts' look in the movie. Imagine in a minute, a handsome man in a tux is going to enter the room to take her away...

Valentines, zombies and other hunts.

The Sakide store is always taking part in a gazilion events, and that's great news! On the first two pics I actually mixed and matched outfits from two different hunts : the shirt is from the Gangster Girl Outfit for Jack or Jill Hunt, and the dress is the Heart Keeper Dress for ZombiePopcorn Hunt

This lovely Crimson Outfit for Rotten Valentine Hunt comes in two versions, a low cut and a high cut one. I accidentally left the shirt collar on for the pictures but I think it actually looks very good with the dress, so I left it on.

A Very Berry Sunday

It had been a while since my last visit to Katat0nik, and I have to say I still love the cute lolita dresses that can be found here, even if my everyday style is far more casual and close to my RL style. I went to grab the group gift and while I was there the lucky board gave me one R and one ? and I ended up with 3 dresses to show you!

• Dresses : Katat0nik free for group members Very Berry dresses. (top and bottom are lucky board prizes, middle is the current group gift)
• Hair : Alice Project VIP group gift, Sunye, it's mesh and menu-driven color change
• Skin : not free but it's the very pretty latest release from Adam n Eve, Harper.

Special thanks to Sachi Vixen.

Anne, ma soeur Anne...

Today I get to be a princess... and I love it! It's been a while since I've roleplayed and I must admit I miss it sometimes. I used to wear adorable gowns like that all the time... Well, not exactly like this one, for the Princess Shoppe's creations are quite new on the grid, but already worth talking about. This particular color is called Delectable Cocoa, and part of the new designer's third batch, Princess Anne. What makes it special is that, for the next week or so, you can get it on the Marketplace for only 99l$.

Other stuff (not necessarily under 100l$, but worth crediting all the same) :

• Hair : Soft in brown 04 & 08 by Elikatira (88l$ for the Essentials pack at Collabor88 this month)
• Skin : Fall - Nude by Curio (1000l$ for one skin, 3000l$ for the fatpack)
• Poses : PDA for Collabor88 (88l$ for 8 poses)
• Eyes : Venus - Rose by Banana Banshee (former group gift)
• Piercings : Signs by Ellabella

Sweet dreams.

Maai & Magika

I am trying new things, picture wise, so bear with my experimenting and please keep in mind I do not have a badass computer with killing graphic card. Maai is a new to me shop that I discovered thanks to Shayariel. It sells cute things and has treats for their group members : group gifs and a midnight mania board. The MM board gift changes on a regular basis so I'm only showing you the current group gifts, a cute pink dress and a whole outfit (it even includes the shoes)

Also, Magika, one of the best SL hair shops, is having a short 50% off sale. The most recent hair packs are now 125l$ instead of 250l$ (2 different color packs, one with natural colors, one with more "funky" ones) and the older ones are only 100l$

Mesh it up!

Hello people!! After reinstalling completely my viewer, I am finally able to do some stuff on SL, so here I am and I come bearing MESH! I just acquired my very first mesh clothes and so far, I luuuurve it! Beware, you need to use a mesh enabled viewer to see mesh stuff, otherwise, well, it'll look like crap, which would be a shame, honestly. 

Riddle just released this cute mesh skirt and sculpted top outfit for Project Themeory, for only 75l$ for the outfit! (BTW they're having a 50% off sale on the whole shop, so that's one more reason to drop by)

Have you noticed the cute shoes? They're the latest group gift from Katat0nik , and they're mesh too... Plus I think they match the outfit perfectly.

Other stuff  (not free or cheap):

• Hair from Elikatira
• Skin from Curio
• Eyes from Banana Banshee
• Ears from Panda Express
• Piercings from Ellabella (80l$ only, she just released new goodies too)

Lazy May Day

Not only am I lazy, I'm also super late to show you the latest group gifts from Katat0nik, these 2 cutes dresses, supposedly Easter themed, but hey, they're pretty, so I'm going to wear them anyway. And so should you...

Now with something a little different. LISP has put out their retied items for 1 to 10 l$ in their garden... I bought a few pieces that I love : table and chairs (10l$), potted heart plant (1l$)...

...armchair 10l$...

...sofa 10l$...

      

... set of heart cussions 10l$.

Other credits :

• House is a former hunt price from the Albero Kawaii hunt from Modest House
• Roses eyes - Caribbean from Banana Banshee (new! 80l$)
• Blind hair from Elikatira (from the spring sale, 80l$, not sure it's still on though)
• Colored grass from Zigana (former Albero Kawaii hunt)
• Summer grass and forget-me-nots from Alirium (not free, but totally worth a look)

Easter Treats

Happy Easter everyone!! I have a few treats for you! This gorgeous gown brought to you by Kouse's Sanctum and for 100l$ only is an exclusive color of Naomi, one of her latest releases. As usual, the prim work is flawless, and the textures gorgeous. Its very light shade of pink could also make it a very decent wedding dress... just saying. Oh and while you're there, Kouse is having a retirement sale on a bunch of old gowns, each sold for 50l$ only... 

Below you can see a close up on the adorable chest ruffles, but also on my latest obsession, a piercing set called Signs and made by Ellantha Larsson from Ellabella, available in store for only 80l$. I've never liked piercings on SL, I usually find them vulgar, but Ellantha definitely made me change my mind. Her work is delicate and out of the ordinary, and I've even remade all my saved outfits to include, from now on, this very pretty piece of jewelry.

As for the moles and freckles, I'm happy you noticed them... {Shameless Self Advertising Alert} They're a tattoo layer that I put up in store in a set of 2 for only 10l$, so if you feel like giving your favorite skin a little more personnality, hop on to Banana Banshee.

The hair was yesterday's Tiny Bird's 50l$ friday offer, but it might still be in store, and it came in various colors...

Lucky Banana...

There's a lucky board in both Banana Banshee shops, where you can get 5 different eyes, among which these two :

They only come in their system version, if you want the mix and match and modable size options that the prim eyes provide, you can always buy the other colors in store, they're brand new, 100l$ each only and you can see them here!
