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...

Skins and Formals

Dress: Felicia's Fashion

Hey there! Tossing out a quick post here. I’m finally able to start playing catch up after school finals and have several pieces I wanted to get posted. I was able to get through a couple of the major hunts going on currently and find out where a couple good advents are for the Holiday but I’ve still got tons more events I haven’t started to browse yet! Anyway, couple softer, pretty ones for today, trying not to overwhelm posts.. or myself.

First up is actually a mention of 2 things. Free Dove and the FabFree Headquarters. Both of these are collections of designer donated free sample items. There are several vendors involved and plenty of quality things to get any new AV started at least, plus find out what kinds of designers a person can start becoming a fan of. FabFree I was aware of but Free Dove I wasn’t. Both were LM’d and noted in a recent update from Heartsick who just updated the free skins they offer at these two locations. Both places are worth a visit whether you’re new or not, you never know if some of your favorite designers have items up!

Anyway, in lieu of rambling the details, I’ll just list info in the credits. Some things are free or discounted advents, sale rooms, hunt items, etc. The poses I used are actually the only things that don’t qualify for the “under $100” list, including the backdrop texture!

Lazy Sunday Looks Like Winter

Hello, hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend and those in the US had a fantastic holiday. I personally stuffed myself silly, spent time with nieces and cousins playing games and tired myself out. Hopefully some of you caught some of the fantastic deals that went on in SL on Friday, even some continuing through today. I’ve got lots for you today, too! Nearly everything shown is $100L or under, the only thing that isn’t is the logs I placed in the fireplace of the house. The grass outside also was of my own doing, not included with the house.



For this weeks Lazy Sunday, you can grab the Christmas bike pose prop from What Next, the snow globe necklace at Ey:No (with animated snow!), sweater from Bellies and the skin at Iren, which naturally has these cute rosy cheeks and freckles. Pants are the Bizness Pants, currently on sale at the Plastik. Hair is from Exile. If you haven’t heard yet, huge retirement sale on a bunch of hair from Exile. Single color packs for $50, fatpacks for $250. And the house itself I picked up at Abode’s booth at the Vintage Fair. There are several houses/skyboxes for $50L. I’ll be honest, there are a couple of textures on the outside of this house that you’ll probably want to manually adjust as they, for whatever reason, aren’t aligned properly. I doubt it was made this way, probably a result of the rezzer but they’re easy fixes. Note also, the logs do not come with the fireplace! All other part credits below!

It's Still Friday!

Ok, I should have done my shopping earlier today cause Friday is almost over already! I apologize, I became distracted by snowflake stuff.. With the stuff below, my “not casual often” comment still appears to be a lie. Would you also believe I prefer to be blonde and blue eyed?

One of the important reasons I’m kicking myself for time management is showing off this sweater! It’s from Kyoot and available in 4 color tones for 50L Friday. I’m headed back as soon as I’m done writing here to grab the other 3 colors, cause darn it’s cute. In all and total honesty, I don’t generally care for stomach prims on shirts, most of the time I figure out a way to wear it without using them. I was able to mod this one enough though where it didn’t bother me at all.

The jeans are jeans you can move in! Yep, they’re mesh and free from Slink. They’re in a box by the redelivery terminal and come with a hud to change the shade from light, medium and dark jeans. There are several sizes in side, but keep in mind since they are mesh, you will likely need the use the alpha layer and possibly edit your shape some to fit in them. Think of it as dieting to get back into those jeans you used to love ;)

Hair is in the brand new Dressing Room Blue collection from Exile. It’ll be up for 2 weeks and comes with 4 color shades.

And last but not least is this pretty skin! It’s a base skin, I added a tattoo liner/lash layer so keep that in mind when purchasing. But, it’s $10L per tone on the base Eliza skin from Apple May Designs.. for this weekend only! Because I’m a complete skinaholic that changes my appearance often, I bought 5.. Tattoo makeup layers are my friend anyway!

Oh yeah, almost forgot! The pose is from Olive Juice also for 50L Friday. Pack of 6 variations of casual poses for 18 total.

That’s it from me today. Got something more along my style line up and coming if Rosie doesn’t get to it first! Until next time.. (Edit: Nevermind the “my style” note. Rosie got to it first!)

$100L and Under

Hair: Exile – Tabitha Roots – Maple - $60L for TDR Blue

Skin: Apple May Designs – Eliza – Peachy Bare Base - $10L (this weekend only!)

Lucky day

Hello all!!

Today I got lucky at Blue Blood and caught 3 of the 8 available colors on the lucky boards in a very short time, which allows me to show them to you... Blue Blood's creations have that gothic lolita style that I love, and the quality of the designs, even the lucky board prices, is as always impeccable. If you have no patience (or no luck!) at all you can always get the whole fatpack for only 200l$. There's also a selection of very cheap dresses in that same room.

Other items:
Stiletto go-gos from Dilly Dolls (used to be a cheapie)
Sai hair from Exile (previous freebie)
Breeze skin from Curio (full price)
