Sneak Preview Of ROWNE! Store Grand Opening Today!

OMG! I am so excited and soooo late with this post! I don't know if you have heard, but there is an AMAZING new store and brand that is opening today, called ROWNE!

Who is ROWNE? Rowne is co-owned by the seriously talented team of Justice Topaz and Fashionboi Landar with Couleur Latoe joining as part of the design team! I have always been a HUGE fan of House of Fox, so I was ecstatic to hear about this incredible new venture and even more excited to be one of their bloggers.
*side note*I usually like to take more time with my pics and posts, but since I was running behind and the grand opening of this store is today, I decided to just post what I had finished. So, please stay tuned for more looks....

What can you expect from ROWNE?

ROWNE is "featuring essential items that are timeless; meant to be updated with seasonal pieces so you can continue to wear them throughout the year". I had a difficult time choosing items for this post, since they were all so beautiful. The clothing is made-up of soft and luxurious textures (knits, cottons and leathers) in classic colors that can be easily mixed and matched with anything in your wardrobe. After a couple hours of fussing with all the lovely separates, I finally decided on this yummy Athe Sweater paired with these gorgeous Steffen Shorts. The feel is truly timeless, classic and modern. The mesh is rendered to perfection and it is obvious that much time, thought and effort has been put into each and every item.

 I also added their Valor 2-Tone Clutch to the mix and it matched perfectly! There is so much more to see, so please stay tuned. Even better, you can see for yourself today!

When and Where? ROWNE is opening today, June 28th at 12 pm SLT! 

So make sure come and check-out all of the brilliant new designs. Demo them too! Here is your LM: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rowne/194/85/22

Please make sure that you also check out ROWNE's website, which has an AMAZING video featuring their new collection, or all news and updates! Here is the link: http://rownesl.com/

Besides, the initial capsule collection of MUST HAVE separates, shoes and clutches, the ROWNE team will be releasing hair and other to die for essentials too! I can not wait!

June Colllabor88 featuring U.F.O

June's theme for Collabor88, which is To The Lighthouse, has inspired so many incredible designs for this round. The color palate of faded reds, blues, grays and lavender, remind me of past summer vacations on the the beach's of Cape Cod. The designers have created everything from relaxed cotton casuals to kitschy sailor motifs. Some of my favorite items from this round were created by the super talented Charming Meiler of  ::{u.f.o}::.She went all out and made a cool casual maxi dress, as well as this AMAZING Sailor Boyish Outfit!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, created a huge Pirate and Sailor Collection for June's Collabor88 as well. So I had no problem finding the perfect Sailor Hat, which she obviously created for the sailor part of her collection. The Hat Rose is separate and can also be worn separately as a rose, like I did in previous posts. It also comes with a color change HUD that has 9 colors to choose from, making it a breeze to match with just about anything.

While I was dipping into Gyo's amazing Collabor88 collection, I found this gorgeous Shell Necklace and Earrings. In fact, there were so many wonderful accessories made for this round, that I decided to add an Anchor Necklace from (Yummy).

The fabulous one-sided braided hair is called Oceana and is yet another Collabor88 exclusive from TRUTH. I seriously love the fact that he managed to weave a scarf into the braid. The scarf's texture can also be changed via HUD. 

Please make sure you get over to Collabor88 ASAP, if you haven't already, and demo all the above items. In fact, DEMO everything that you can find there! LOL! 

Oh! I almost forgot, Snow Martiel of BenS Beauty has been releasing a ton of amazing new shoes that are made to be worn with Slinks avatar enhanced mesh feet! Her Grace Platform sandals went perfectly with this outfit! They come in a tong of beautiful colors, so make sure you grab yourself a few pairs.

I know I am probably forgot to mention a few items, so please forgive me if I did. I try to mention everything in my post, but sometimes it is impossible or would just be way too long. LOL! I only post items I absolutely adore, so if it is in here, that means I LOVE it! Thankfully, everything is listed in the credit. So, with that said, here are my LMs and Credits:

Summer Exclusives from Belleza!

The super talented Shyla Diggs, of -Belleza-, has been very busy creating gorgeous event exclusives for this year's Summerfest and June cycle of The Liaison Collaborative. For both of these events, she brought back two of my all time favorite -Belleza- skins: Nina and Ria.

Nina comes 4 beautiful summer inspired make-ups and skin tones that will be available at Summerfest 2014. Unfortunate, Summerfest 2014 doesn't start until the 22nd of June, so please stay tunes for a LM. Shyla  included a special 'Sunburn' tattoo with this skin, which I absolutely adore. She also included: freckles, moles and gloss tattoos. This amazing hairstyle, which is called Boardwalk Breeze, is an Arcade exclusive from hair diva Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth. 

Shyla also created an extra special version of her Ria skin line for this month's The Liaison Collaborative. She is available is 4 lovely make-up and skin tones. Make sure you demo them all!

The hair is another seriously cute  Arcade hair exclusive from Kavar Cleanslate of Exile, called London. She comes with a pair over-sized sunglasses with texture-change hUD. So make sure you try your luck and when you favorite!

The starfish adorned earrings and necklace are June Collabor88 exclusives from Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, which you absolutely can NOT miss!

Livy

There are so many gorgeous new skin releases on the grid lately. One of my favorites (well they are technically two skins) are called Liv (I posted about Liv here) and Livy, which are Arcade Gacha Event exclusives from the talented aida Ewing of Glam Affair. Both skins are absolutely stunning and very similar. Livy has a slightly pouter and glossy lip, but both are equally beautiful and hard to resist.

Both skins come in 10 gorgeous make-ups and three lovely skin tones (Arctic, Asia and India). There is even a RARE version in bare, so make sure you play to win all!

For both images, I gathered up some of my favorite accessories from various events this month. For the first image, I had this brilliant Akali Headdress, which is a FaMESHed exclusive from Amberly Boccaccio of Glam Affair. There are several different styles in beautiful summer shades. I also had this fabulous Meersand Hair from M4ri1yn Magic of  ~Tableau Vivant~ , which is a June Collabor88 exclusive. The Magdalene necklace that I am wearing in the first image was created by AvaGardner Kungler of Kunglers Extra from this round of L'accessoires. 

For the second image, I chose a stunning Rose hatpin and matching Pirate earrings from Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo for June's Collabor88 . Both items are texture change via HUD, so you can match them with just about anything! The hair is one of the latest from Truth Hawks, called Honey. The delicate Melly necklace is from Caelyn Hancroft of Cae. This necklace is also texture change via HUD and allows you to change the metal, pearls and gem stones. I think that about covers it. I have been really busy lately and am bit brain dead at the moment. So I hope I didn't forget anything... Here are your LMs and Credits:

Summer Time!

June's Collabor88 is another serious hit! All of the designers created "To The Lighthouse" themed items, in tones of steel blue, khaki, terracotta, beige and tan. All the light and sun washed shades that make you reminisce about past vacations at the ocean. I really LOVE this round! For this post, I wanted to create a laid back and casual feel with primarily Collabor88 exclusives, so here goes...

I am a huge fan of this relaxed Summer look from Sunami Beck of Emery. It is composed of beautifully made mesh separates, which include this-off shoulder Imogen Sweater that and coordinating Hailey Summer Shorts. Of course they can mixed match with other items, but I really liked both pieces together.

Isn't this hair AMAZING? It is the latest from Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth for Collabor88, called Under the Sea.The style is absolutely gorgeous and it comes with star fish accessory, which is texture-change. You have got to love that, especially since you match it to whatever outfit you are wearing. You can also choose not wear it at all!
The talented aida Ewing of  -Glam Affair-, created a stunning new skin for June's Collabor88, called Summer! Summer is soooooooo lovely and comes in 8 summer inspired make-ups and a choice of 4 skin tones. As always, there are 8 different brow shades to choose from that are embedded into the skin. There is also a pack of 16 lipsticks on tattoo layers, so please make sure you demo this skin ASAP!

Snow Martiel of :..:: BenS Beauty ::., created these beautiful and bold Florina Necklace and Earrings, They come with a texture-change script that allows you choose just about any color imaginable for the stones. You can also choose from gold, black and silver metals. So make sure you check this out at her mainstore!
Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, went all out again for June's Collabor88, by creating a ton of wonderful items!For this post I chose to wear her Whale Tail Necklace and Pirate Nose Earring! Both of these perfectly rendered items are available in gold and silver metals and are another Collabor88 MUST!

Oh! One more thing! Charming Meiler of ::{u.f.o}::  created these uber adorable Intro Run Slip On sneakers for The Mens Dept. I love the streamlined looked to these kicks, which can be worn with almost any casual attire. She made them in both a male and female versions that can be easily re-sized and edited to fit Slink and Just Design's bare flat feet (if you so choose). I chose to wear them sans mesh feet for once and they look great! So run and pick-up yourself up a pair in one of the many fabulous colors!

Can you see the cute anklet that I am wearing? It is another one of Caelyn Hancroft's amazing ankle bracelets. This is her Zodiac anklet and you can change your Zodiac sign via a HUD, as well as choosing from Gold and Silver metals! Another must have!

Swan Lake

Unless you have been hiding under a virtual rock, then you already know that The Arcade Gacha Event is here again and well underway! As always, all of the designers who are participating in this awesome event have managed to come up with the most brilliant creations (more like, "brilliant ways to entice us part with tons of lindens"s..lol)! The seriously talented Charming Meiler of ::{u.f.o}:: has created one of my favorite gacha collections to date for this round, which is called Swan Lake, Act 1.

I don't know about you, but when I was little I wanted to be a ballerina when I grew-up. I loved everything that had to do with ballet, from toe shoes to tutus. This is what Charming managed to re-create for me with her beautifully crafted mesh collection. It is not only made-up of beautiful tutus and ballet shoes (with a texture change HUD), but also wonderful home decor pieces and accessories. Elegant mannequins, retro princess phones and ballet shoe wall ornaments, which all come in a vast array of in pretty pastel colors. 

This is one gacha collection that you will definitely want to try your luck with!

Speaking of amazing Arcade collections, aida Ewing of Glam Affair created two new skins for this round of The Arcade. The skins are called Liv and Livvy and are both absolutely stunning! For this post, I chose to wear Liv. Both skins come in 10 gorgeous make-ups and three lovely skin tones (Arctic, Asia and India). There is even a RARE version in bare, so make sure you play to win all!

Mr. Truth Hawks is also participating in this round of The Arcade (as if you didn't already know). He created this fabulous hair style, called Sakura. Sakura comes in two styles - one side bun or a bun on each side. You can also win flowers and gummy bears in different colors  that can be worn in  this uber cute do. 

So what are you waiting for, go play at The Arcade! Here are your LMs and Credits:

May's Collabor88 is sadly coming to an end on June 7th at 12am SLT, so make sure you hurry-up and grab all those fabulous exclusives before it is over! Here are a few more of my May Collabor88 favorites! I sincerely wish I had time to post everything available, but I am short on time :(

I am absolutely in love with this 50's retro inspired Ooh La La dress from u.f.o's Charming Meiler  . It is a May Collabor88 exclusive that comes in ton of yummy prints and color combinations!

I grabbed some fabulous accessories from May's Collabor88 add to my ensemble, which include this pretty mesh Flower Headband from Glam Affair and this delicious Lemon Fruit Necklace from (Yummy).

This lovely hair style, called Lady Julliette, is another Collabor88 must have from Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth. 

This gorgeous skin is the latest from Shyla Diggs of Belleza. Her name is Suki and she is an Arcade gacha exclusive. So make sure you try your luck and win all of the lovely make-ups available! 

This brilliant outfit is also a May Collabor88 exclusive and was created by the talented Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice. The Mini Top and Fiore Skirt are sold as separates, so you can mix and match them with anything you like. Once again, I used accessories that are May Collabor88 exclusives. These awesome bold Bombshell Beads are from (Yummy) and the sexy Monroe Florida 50's Sunglasses are from Maxi Gossamer.

The stunning skin, is another May Collabor88 gem from Glam Affair, which I previously posted. Her name is Coral and comes in 8 stunning make-ups in 3 gorgeous skin tones! The beautiful retro Grable Hair is from ~Tableau Vivant~ and is another Collabor88 exclusive too!

So with that said, RUN to Collabor88 before it is over and grab these awesome creations! Here are the LMs and Credits:

ISON and May's Collabor88!

There are sill a few more days left of May's Collabor88, so please make sure you stop by and check-out all the amazing 50's vintage/rockabilly styles! One of my favorite ensembles from this round, is also from one of my all time favorite designers - Harry Hyx of ISON! He created this fabulous Crop Panel Tee and High Waist Pleat Skirt. Both of these flirty streamlined pieces, can be worn separately or together (like I did below), and come in nice array of prints and colors.

I could not resist wearing these super sexy Sophia Heels, which are also a May Collabor88 exclusive this month. They were created by the talented Betty Doyle of Ingenue. Like most of her recent shoe releases, there are made to be worn with Slink's mesh feet!

Since I was going with a vintage nautical themed look, I had to pair this outfit with Gyorgyna Larnia's, of LaGyo, Mary Necklace (with swallows and anchors), Mary Earrings (anchors) and Mary Bow Bandanna! Gyo's whole Mary Collection is to die for, so make sure you run and grab the whole collection before May's Collabor88 ends!

Gala Phoenix of CURIO has been releasing a ton of skin lately! For May's Collabor88, she released two sunning new skins lines. For this post, I am wearing her new Cherry skin. It comes in a ton of gorgeous skin tones and 4 yummy make-ups! It fits perfectly with May's retro theme!

Speaking of amazing retro creations, moca Loup of tram, made this brilliant hairstyle for May's Collabor88 too! In fact, she created 4 lovely styles that you must demo ASAP!

I think I covered just about everything, please forgive me if I missed something. Here are your LMs and Credits:
