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...

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$.

Credits :
(under 100l$)

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

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.

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$

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.

Credits :

• Gowns by World's End Gardens (free for group members)
• Hair by Elikatira (sale ends today)
• Skin (not free) is Curio's latest amazement, the Visitor.

Special thanks to Maelenn Catteneo

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)

Nothing but the Truth...

Truth has just opened the Truth District, a whole (gorgeous!) sim of some of the most famous and talented designers of the grid. The sim is still super lagged right now (and full at times) but I strongly advise you to deprim as much as possible and go pay a visit, most of the designers have opening gifts. I'm showing you some of them below (everything credited here is an opening gift from the Truth District)

Shack it baby!

I discovered the Shack thanks to Zahra from Fancifull Freebies, and I hadn't had time to get there and stalk the lucky boards yet... There are 5 of them, with at least 2 different gifts in it, but I haven't been too lucky so far, so here is only a sample of what you can get. The boards are group only, you will have to ask a member to invite you, but it shouldn't be a problem, there is pretty much always a group of people at the boards. There are also 2 MM boards on the side, and they haven't locked for quite some time... Now, less blahblah, more oooohhh and aaaaahh :

I matched the above outfits with that

 amazing hairbase from DeeTaleZ that I got

 in the Moolto hunt and now can't live without.

Hair is the latest Magika hair, Tessa
