Blog Hero Challenge - Week Eight - Standing in the Rain

Greetings! Forgive the heavy challenge posting this week (yes, 2 posts, I do call that heavy lol) but I'm trying to catch up on Shayariel's very cool blogger challenge (more info here). I've done it again, I've been shopping for this picture, and I will credit the gorgeousness even if most is way above the 100l$ rule. However, the adorable boots are only 40l$ and they are from Duh!

Hope you just don’t stop praying when the waters fall

‘Cause standing in the rain ain’t gonna leave you dry

People say your love pure one of a kind

But standing in the rain ain’t gonna leave you dry

Credits :

• Boots : Ladybug Rainboots from Duh! (40l$ a pair, various patterns)
• Coat : Kelley from ColdLogic (400l$) They have 3 lovely mesh dresses for free in their subscribomatic
• Hair : Listen from Elikatira 
• Tights : Waffle knit tights from Jane
• Shirt : Turtleneck from Fri.Day
• Skin : Mardi-Gras from Curio

Wishbox

Wishbox has a free dress for you if you help her win something. She explains it all on her Flickr page but hurry, I'm not sure how long the offer still lasts! Shady Grove is a lovely gown. Honestly, I would have never considered buying that color, but it would have been my loss. I love the details on the dress, like the little strings and the pouch and key on the belt.

Non free or cheap credits :

• Skin from Curio
• Hair from Elikatira (new and mesh)
• Ears from SLink

Don't talk to me about V-Day

It's always been my least favorite "special" day of the year, even when I was happily married. But at least this year I have something to be happy about : Kouse's Special Valentine Edition of Brianna, available in store for only 25l$.

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.

Credits :
100l$ or under :

• Clothes from Sakide (free from various hunts)
• Eyes from Banana Banshee (max price 80l$ - some of them are on sale, you should check them out)
• Nail polish from RezIpsa Loc (50l$ a pack)
• Piercings from Ellabella
• The pictures were taken here.

Other stuff :

• Skin from Curio (Uptown)
• Hair from Elikatira

Free stuff.

I know, I know, this post has the lamest title of the year, but at least you know what it's all about. Wishbox has a new Midnight Mania prize, this lovely romper dress. It comes with the scarf, the necklace, the cute optional pockets, 2 different skirts and the tights with garters and panties.

ColdLogic is opening soon, and before that they set up a subscribe'O'matic at their store with these 3 adorable mesh dresses. Grab them before they're gone!!

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.

In a Katat0nik state...

Well, you know, it's Sunday morning after all, and one's allowed a little laziness, right? So before I go back to bed for the first of numerous sunday naps, let me show you Katat0nik's latest group gift (there is however is joining fee of 250l$ but the regular gifts make it worth it). The lovely outfit includes the socks.

The World's End Gardens

Imagine a place that looks like the end of the world has come and gone, and all that's left are ruins of a long vanished happy era. Heaven and Hell are so close you could almost touch them... actually, maybe you can. Take a secret passage and find yourself at an altar, half hidden behind white trees... beware of the snake, he's already hurt those two, whose hearts lie in boxes, still beating. There's an infinite sadness in this place, yet its beauty is breathtaking. The World's End Gardens has not one, but many gifts available for the daring who join the group (free) : dresses, with names as melancholic as "Requiem pour une sœur perdue" (Requiem to a lost sister) or "La Nuit du Chasseur" (The night of the hunter). Join group and grab them on the gorgeous Dernier Lamento sim.

• Skin (not free) is Curio's latest amazement, the Visitor.

Here are a few samples of what you can grab. Some I already had in my inventory, most I bought today. Elikapeka Tiramisu's hair is so adorable, it's the hair I want in RL.

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)

FLF...

Here are my choices for this week's Fifty Linden Friday :  in the first pic, the dress is from Katat0nik, in the second pic, outfit is from League (only the shorts are 50l$ though) and the hair is from Elikatira. I am deeply sorry for not posting the SLURLs, I had to log early... But I'm sure you'll manage! take care!

Another day on SL.

Hello there! I know I'm not around much these days, but I'm trying to spend more time in my first life - not that it's particularly interesting these days, but I have lots of training classes and stuff due to my new position at work and I'm away a lot. Anyway, I have a few goodies to show you :

Left : C'est Moi! striped dress (group gift)

Right : Riddle TOSL Tunic (hunt gift)

Eyes are the new freebie from Poetic Colors

Hair was the 50 Linden friday offer from Elikatira (It's now available at a regular price, but keep your eyes peeled for the next FLF).

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$...
