Catching-up with Kae! Featuring October Collabor88!

It has obviously been awhile since my last post! And let me just say,  it was a little difficult getting started again. I felt like I had forgot everything! So I figured that the best way to kick things off, was to grab one my closest SL friends, who could provide me with extra encouragement and fun! The super talented Ms. Kaelyn Alecto served not only as great model, but also a cheerleader. Cheering me on, since I was lacking a little bit in confidence. She also served as a great source inspiration! 

The October Round of Collabor88 is absolutely amazing and so much fun! The theme is called, Motel Spoppy! Think of Bate's Motel, or any other classic and creepy vintage motel, in shades of navy, muted purples, green, steel blue and beige! So Kae and I did our best to show off just a few of these incredible event exclusives!

I absolutely fell in love with Maylee Oh's, of The Secret Store, Anita Empire Dress. I love the doll like style with a delicate lace trim on the sleeves and a super cute ribbon belt! Kaelyn is wearing this extremely adorable Darling Dress from Tres Blah, which is has a similar girly style to mine. 

Kae and I also wore a couple of awesome hair styles that can be found at this round of Collabor88. I am wearing Bubbles Clawtooth's brilliant Scream Queen do. I love the knife effect! Kae is wearing this seriously cute Pussycat (mask included) style from Lamb Bellic of lamb!

Please make sure you demo both of the dresses and hair at Collabor88 before the Oct cycle ends on November 6th!

Shyla Diggs of -Belleza- finally released the full line of her Grace skin! Yay!  I could not help but wear this fabulous new skin for my post. Plus, I am also wearing Belleza's beautiful new Venus Mesh Body! Well, I know it is not totally new, but it is new to me and I LOVE it! Please stay tuned for a full reviews on both Belleza's Grace skin and Venus Mesh Body!

So what are you waiting for? Make sure run down and grab these awesome Collabor88 exclusives before the round ends on November 6th!

Please make sure you also head on over to the -Belleza Mainstore- in order to demo their new Grace skin line and Venus Mesh Body!

With that said, here are your 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:

Nothing Burns Like The Cold

It's been one crazy Winter. One week warm and the next two week freezing. Everyone has the flu and is laying low, so I am trying to make the best of it. At least the days are getting longer now.
I am going to make this post quick, despite the fact that there are so many lovely items to talk about...

The super talented NyuNyu Kimono of NYU, created this super adorable shift dress for Seasons Story. I love the clean lines and minimalist look of this piece, which NyuNyu is so famous for. It just goes to show that beautifully rendered mesh and great textures speak volumes.

Nina Helix of .Birdy., made this lovely new skin that I am wearing. It is called Savannah and is a Seasons Story exclusive too. Nina also created those uber cute bunny coffee mugs behind me. They are called Bunny Cafe and are an OMGacha exclusive this month! Nina makes such amazing mesh items and you will definitely want to collect all of these Bunnies! They are only 75L per play, so make sure you try your luck!

The talented Gyorgyna Larnia finally created a new release for the LaGyo Mainstore! It is this stunning feather necklace that I am wearing. This dramatic Mollie Necklace has a bohemian feel to it, yet still makes a bold statement, I am really in love this necklace, so make sure you check it out ASAP!

Uff! I know it is hard to see, but Caelyn Hancroft created the shorter necklace. It has disk shaped pendant with a tree in it. Not only is it perfectly rendered, but it comes with a HUD that lets you fully customize the colors. I will have to wear it again to show you. Caelyn is really making a name for herself by designing some of the most beautiful jewelry on the grid. The necklace is another Seasons Story exclusive this month!

 Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea has been very busy lately, making amazing furniture and home decor items for several events this month. One of my favorite items is this Roux Coffee Station for The Neighborhood. Obviously, I love coffee and anything related to it. However, this is the perfect addition to one's virtual kitchen. Especially when it is cold outside (like it has been in RL), since it adds lots warmth and charm. 

I think I covered almost everything. Please forgive me if I forgot anything. Here are the LMs and Credits:

Last Day for Sept Collabor88!

I am going to try not writing anything and get straight to the credits. I am having major problems with my viewer window constraints, which is causing my pics to look all squishy and weird.

Anyway, please make sure that you have grabbed everything that you wanted from September's Collabor88, because it ends at 3am SLT tonight (technically tomorrow morning).

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Have I told you just how much I love this round of Collabor88? I think I have, but I just can't get over how amazing it is, so I will  tell you again. Not only is the theme brilliant, but all of the designers really outdid themselves. I wish I could blog everything, but it would take me way into the next round of Collabor88, since I am the slowest blogger on Earth. Just in case you do not know, the them is called, "Razzle Dazzle". It is inspired by the the 'Roaring '20s' and 'The Great Gatsby'. All of the items mentioned below are Collabor88 exclusives

For this post, I chose to wear this stunning "Claudette dress", from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice. I paired it a fabulous "Mink Princess Stole" from Sanya Bilavio of .: ryvolter :.. I have been searching for the perfect mink stole and now I have found it! 

I had a very difficult time choosing what jewelry to wear with my ensemble, since there are so many lovely pieces to be found at this month's Collabor88. I chose the very elegant and versatile, "Florentine Lover's" necklace and bracelet from Maxi Gossamer. I love the fact the both the jewels and the metals are all texture change, leaving me with a multitude of style options. 

One of my most delightful discoveries from this cycle of Collabor88, is from Nina Helix of .Birdy. Skins. I have just recently heard about her skins, but have not got around to trying them on until now. Her 'Aria Skin', which I wearing in these photos, is so lovely.I am impressed by her great eye for detail and beautifully rendered features. Not to mention her fresh and dewy skin tones. 'Aria' comes in 6 beautiful make-ups in the 'Pure' skin tone. Each make-up comes with 2 brow styles (thin and thick) in 4 different brow colors (which are embedded into the skin), 3 blush tattoos, several mole tattoo options, and 2 different make-up styles (dewy or regular). You really must demo this skin for yourself. 

The hair was another difficult choice, since there are a tons of wonderful hairstyles this round. I decided on Marisa Kira's (of "D!va Hair") "Layla" hair style. I love this short curly bob with wispy tendrils.

The "Alders Living Room" decor is from the uber talented Colleen Desmoulins of The Loft. This art deco inspired living room is to die for! 

I think I have almost everything covered. I am so tired, so please excuse my short descriptions. I doubt anyone reads what I write anyway. LOL. So, here are the credits and LM to Collabor88:

Dazzled!

Well, I am back! I had to take a bit of break for issues that I had to attend to in RL. So, it has been awhile since I have been posting regularly. It feels strange. LOL! I also have a lot of amazing new releases to talk about and I really do not know where to start.
I guess I will start with the most obvious - August's cycle of Collabor88! It is Collabor88's 2 year Anniversary! Yay! I can't get over the fact that I have been blogging this event for 2 years now. I am one of the fortunate bloggers, who has been a part of Collabor88's Press Team from the very beginning. I still wonder to this day, why someone would pick me to cover such a spectacular event. I was part of a team that included all of SL's best bloggers and I just couldn't see how I fit in. Regardless of how I ended up being involved with Collabor88, I feel truly honored and fortunate to be a part of it. I knew from day one that this event was going to be really special. The list of designers says it all. Not to mention Collabor88's awesome management team. Because of this perfect collaboration of creative and inspiring people, Collabor88 is more popular than ever! Each new cycle is like Christmas. I am always anxiously waiting to see all the incredible creations each designer has made. For Collabor88's 2 Year Anniversary, the theme is absolutely brilliant! It is called "Razzle Dazzle". Think of classic 1920's style (ie,' The Great Gatsby', flappers, speakeasies, art deco, etc...). The 20's is definitely one of my favorite decades for fashion and design. So suffice it say, I am ecstatic over this month's creations. I know you probably have already seen most of what I am posting, but it never hurts to show it again.

This mesh "Dazzle Gown" from Harry Hyx (of ISON) is to die for! I love the sleek lines that are accentuated with a sequined applique. From the super low "V" neckline to the sheer "cut-out" sleeves, this gown is pure heaven. This dress is also materials enabled. Unfortunately, I use the Firestorm viewer, so I can't show you what it looks like.Firestorm doesn't have this option yet. I think it is definitely time for me to download the SL viewer, so I can show-off all of the amazing effects of this new feature.

I paired this dress with these perfect "Pickford Heels" from Betty Doyle of Ingenue. They are designed to be worn with Slink's mesh bare feet (medium height) and come in nice array of yummy colors. I am always very impressed with Betty's shoes and I really adore that she creates shoes that are made for mesh feet!

This month's Collabor88 has lots of gorgeous jewelry. One of my favorite sets, is Gyorgyna Larnia's (of LaGyo) "Helen Collection"! Gyo really outdid herself, when creating these 'art deco' themed pieces. For this post, I am just wearing the her long 'Helen Necklace'. I will be posting the rest of this collection very soon. Each part of this necklace is color change via HUD. There are two color palates that you can choose from. Or you can just buy all the colors in one big HUD, which I highly recommend. All of the pieces in this collection can be fully customized like this necklace. 

The skin I am wearing is a Collabor88 exclusive from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. It is her stunning new 'Katya' skin. This skin is so lovely and is available in 7 different make-ups. Each make-up comes in the Jamaica or Europa skin tone too. 

My hair is yet another beautiful Collabor88 exclusive from Morphine Janick of [monso]. It is called "My Hair - Daisy" and I just love the uber chic cut of this hair. It is 'materials ready' too. My friend showed me a image of what this hair look liked with the materials option on and it is really incredible! It gives the hair so much more depth and shine. I was truly amazed. 

Speaking of Anniversary's, it is L’accessoires First Anniversary this month! All of the 19 designers, who are featured this month, really went all out for this celebration. Please keep in mind that all of the items are exclusive to this event  and are sold in limited quantities. If you like what you see, you better run and grab it! 

 L’accessoires has always been one of my favorite events in SL, especially since I have a serious accessories addiction. In the above image, I have on two L’accessoires event exclusives. I am wearing a gorgeous "Pensamiento" headpiece that comes in 4 different colors from Neftisis Rhiadra of MiWardrobe. I also have on this fabulous "Minimal Bold Ring" from NyuNyu Kimono of Nyu. The ring has texture change script with 3 colors to choose from. 

OK, I think that covers almost everything. If I missed something, please forgive me, because I am brain dead. If it was not mentioned here, it will be listed in the credits. So with that said, RUN! TRY SOME DEMOS! BUY! Here are your LMs and credits:

Last Day For Love Donna Flora

This is the last day for the 'Love Donna Flora' fundraising event. Over one million lindens have been raised to help Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora to get the treatment she needs. I think most of you know by now that she had been battling breast cancer, which has metastasized to her bones, for the last couple of years. Let's hope that with all of our positive thoughts and prayers, Squint will have what she needs to fight this deadly disease.
