Keeping It Casual Chic

I have been trying to keep up with all the amazing events lately. February has been a huge month for events! I would  actually like to start off my post with one item that is not an event exclusive, but gorgeous non-the-less. It is the fabulous Saoya Dress from Marry Lemur of Overhigh. I love the soft cashmere textured feel to this dress. I also adore the relaxed and generous boat neck top that is tapered into sleek and sexy mini dress. This is one dress that you simply must demo!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo created this fabulous Mabel Necklace and Mable Earrings in gold for GizzA Creation's "Love is in the Air" event, which is going on until the 28th. So please make sure go and check it out before it ends!

This "to-die for hairstyle" is from Truth Hawks and it is called Bryn. Truth has been releasing a ton of new and brilliant styles, so make sure go and demo it all!

With that said, here are your LMs and Credits:

Space Cadet

Seems like forever since I wrote my last post. RL has been crazy with major snow storms, power outages and even a car accident. So, suffice it to say, it is nice to have time to escape to SL.
A new round Collabor88 is here and it is amazing as always! This round actually has two themes - 'Collabor88 Prom with a Supernova theme'. Basically, Collabor88 designers were encouraged to pair up with another designer (aka Prom Date) and create a fabulous Collabor88 collaboration.Many of the Collabor88designers also made beautiful event exclusives on their own as well...

To be honest, I was a bit worried about the theme, since it features such bright colors (ie, purple, teal, green, blue, red, gold and silver) and some seriously bold styles. I normally wear neutral tones and more understated looks. However, I liked the fact that it forced me to go outside my comfort zone and play with all of these amazing creations. Maylee Oh of The Secret Store, really outdid herself with this awesome Aerolite Jacket and Balloon Shorts. Both pieces are beautifully made and a lot of fun to wear. I also adore the way Maylee truly captured the whole feel and look of this outer-space theme. This is one outfit that you simply must demo!

Another one of my favorite items from this round of Collabor88 are these gorgeous Lunar Ankle Boots from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice. They are seriously sexy and come in ton of brilliant colors!

The stunning skin that I am wearing is also a Collabor88 exclusive from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. It is brand new skin, called Sylvia and comes the America skin tone. aida took a different approach with her skin options for Sylvia. She created a base skin with just the brow colors embedded into it (8 different brow colors and a no brow option) and put all the different options on tattoo layers. Here are all the different options: 3 lip styles, 3 nose styles, 4 cheek styles, 8 eye make-ups, 3 lipstick styles (8 colors per style), 4 brow styles (8 brow colors per style) and mole options! This way, you can customize the skin any way you choose by mixing and matching tattoo layers. The looks are practically endless! This is definitely one skin that you do not want miss!

To top of my look, I am wearing different pieces of fabulous jewelry, which were created by  LaGyo, Maxi Gossamer, Noodles and PILOT, and can all be found out Collabor88!
Every space cadet needs a RAYGUN! This particular raygun is an awesome collaborative item from ~silentsparrow~ & Schadenfreude for Collabor88. It comes with a color change HUD and makes cool sounds too!
I only used Collabor88 exclusives for the background decor. These super cute space pigs are actually Astropork Lights from the uber talented Anya Ohmai of !Ohmai. I modified them so the post does not show, since I wanted floating pigs for he background.
The Centauri Space Pod in the background is from Barnsworth Anubis. He has a ground and skybox version at Collabor88. I modified the ground version for the photo by making it much smaller.
This stunning asymmetrical blunt cut (aka Lazy Summer Days) that I am wearing is from Kavar Cleanslate of Exile and is not a Collabor88 exclusive. However, is it a must have and is also new, so make sure you demo it!
I apologize if I forgot to mention anything. All of the rest of the info regarding my post will be found below in the credits. So, with that said, here are my credits and LMs:

Last Day For January Collabor88 Featuring Maitreya

I always like to save some of the best event items for last. My favorite creation for this round of Collabor88 has to be Maitreya's Vintage Lace Gown...

This gown is absolutely STUNNING! Onyx always puts so much effort into rendering life-like textures and creating top notch meshes. This Gown can be worn is many different ways too. It can be worn as a simple strapless gown sans lace overlay. Onyx also created a matching Vintage Collar and Vintage Pearl Necklace, which completes this ensemble perfectly. You can not help but feel like a total diva, when wearing this phenomenal gown. So if you have not bought or demoed this yet, make sure run and do it NOW!

Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth, created this super sultry and sexy hair that goes perfectly with Onyx's Gown. This tousled side-swept hair is called, Pink Flamingos. This style should look familiar, since I posted Bubble's Female Trouble hair, in a previous post here. The only difference is that Pink Flamingos does not have Female Trouble whispy bangs. I love both styles equally, so demo them before January's Collabor88 comes to a close!

Here are your LMs and Credits....

ISON for January C88!

The January cycle of Collabor88 is almost over, so please make sure you get over there and check it out ASAP. January was yet an another AMAZING round with the most incredible event exclusives. The theme is Raw Nostalgia, which brings sleek elegance in soft polished tones .Think pearls, silk gowns, lace overlays, and polished metals.

One of the many favorite Collabor88 creations this month, is this stunning Charlotte dress from Harry Hyx of ISON. I adore the sleek asymmetrical cut of this silk textured dress. There is also gorgeous lace detailing on the top.The dress comes in a tone of gorgeous neutral tones, so make sure run and grab it!
Harry also made this beautiful Amber hair for January's Collabor88. The soft waves are coiffed to perfection.

The lovely Ria skin that I am wearing is another Collabor88 exclusive from Shyla Diggs of Belleza, which I have posted several time already. This is definitely one of my ALL TIME favorite skins from Belleza! Shyla did such an amazing job. I especially love the lips! Ria comes in 5 beautiful make-ups in a choice of 4 skin tones (Medium, Sunkissed, Tan  and Fair). There are also several options included with skin, which include: 4 brow colors (embedded into skin), 5 lip gloss tattoo, 5 matte lip tattoos and 3 mole tattoos.

The jewelry is all from Collabor88 as well. I had such a hard time choosing what pieces to wear, since they are all so pretty and well made. I chose these fabulous long Knotted Shimmer Pearls from Maxi Gossamer, which are texture change via script. I also chose these beautiful bracelets and earrings from Caelyn Hancroft of Cae. Each part of the bracelet and earrings can be fully customized via HUD. 

This amazing new Ming Headpiece that I am wearing is from Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo. I love stunning Asian feel to it. It comes in 5 lovely colors and is available at Limited Bazaar. There are only a limited number of the Ming headpieces that you buy, so make sure run over there ASAP to get one!
