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!

So with that said, here are your LMs and Credits:

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

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!

April Collabor88 and More!

Spring is well underway and there are a ton of AMAZING events reflecting the season this month. In fact, it has been really hard for me to keep up with all of them, since I had been away. So, I will do my best to make sure I credit all the event exclusives in this post correctly. If for some reason you can not find the item listed in the mainstore or event listed, please let me know and I will find out the correct info.
As always, my favorite monthly event is Collabor88. And, as I mentioned in the previous post, I am in LOVE with April's theme - Watercolors In Bloom!



Maylee Oh, of The Secret Store, really went all out with this theme (as she always does), creating this lovely Betsy Halter Tank and stunning Amy Highwaist Skirt. The Betsy Halter Tank is adorned with a delicate lace trimmed collar and comes with 3 wear options, which include: tucked, cropped and tunic. The Amy Highwaist Skirt is made up of a gorgeous rose brocade-like texture that is to die for! Both the tank and skirt are available in a ton of pastel colors and vivid prints that you can easily mix and match. So make sure you run and demo them ASAP!
These adorable sling-back Lily Flats are also an April Collabor88 exclusive from the talented Betty Doyle of Ingenue. These were specifically created to be worn with Slink's avatar enhanced bare feet (flat), which is another reason why I love them so much.

Pose Fair 2014 is here and there are a ton of amazing poses and props to be found at this venue. Poses are just as important to bloggers as the clothes we wear. They inspire us and help bring our ideas into a visual and expressive image.
In my first picture, I am holding a super cute umbrella in a even cuter pose. Both the umbrella and the pose, are part of Rockstarroo Gossipgirl's (of [Atooly]) pose collection, called Umbrella Time. The all mesh Umbrella Time prop comes in a beautiful array of Spring colors and the Umbrella Time pose pack includes 5 charming umbrella poses. They are a Pose Fair 2014 exclusive, so make sure you head over there to check these out all of Atooly's awesome poses!
In my second image (above pic), I am holding this seriously yummy Sweet Ice Cream cone from the adorable Nati Wiliams of Imeka Poses. This is not only a super cute prop, but the pose is scripted into it too! This is just one of 9 ice cream cone gacha poses, which are available at Seasons Story. Be sure to get over there soon and try your luck!

Izzie Button just recently released a beautiful new skin called Nomi. She has lovely delicate features and perfect pouty lips. As with all of Izzie's skins, Nomi comes with a ton of options. Here is how it works - each skin tone (fair, pale, porcelain, peach, natural, medium, sunkissed, tan, med tan and dark tanned) comes with a base skin with brows (light, blonde, dark & ginger) and/ or cleavage embedded into it, which comes to a total of 8 skin bases. Then Izzie included a multitude of tattoo layers that you can mix and match freely, in order to customize your look. These options include:

• Freckles - Face & Face/Body (on tattoo)
• Moles (on tattoo)
• Eyebrow Tinter (on tattoo)
• Lash Eraser (on alpha)
• 12 Lipsticks (on tattoo)
• 10 Eye Shadows (on tattoo)
• Eyeliner (on tattoo)
• Shape
• Shape for Phat Azz

All of these options are included with each skin tone! You do not have to buy these separately, which is really an amazing deal for such a gorgeous skin. Izzie also sells appliers for just about every mesh appendage on the grid. I highly suggest demoing Nomi or any of her other amazing skins ASAP!

The fabulous hair that I am wearing is a recent release from the amazing Kavar Cleanslate of Exile. This stunning style is called, Full of Secrets. I really adore the generous wavy locks that can look both cute and sexy. 

This awesome headpiece, called Persephone's Halo, was created by Olivia Lalonde of Le Poppycock. It is actually one of several gacha floral hair "halos", which were an Eden Rising event exclusive. Unfortunately, the event is over, but I am sure you can find it in the Le Poppycock Mainstore. If you haven't been to Le Poppycock lately, you really need to go. You can find so many wonderful accessories and poses for very reasonable prices. 

You are probably tired of my writing by now, but I just wanted to mention the background decor real quick. This fabulous Waterfront Dock is a Home Show 2014 exclusive from {what next}. You simply must run over and take a look at their whole Waterfront Collection, which includes: docks, charming cottages, vintage light posts and motorized boat props. 

You must also check-out the seriously cute table and chairs that I have rezzed on the dock. They are part of Cheeky Pea's Rainey Bistro collection, which is a Seasons Story exclusive that you do not want to miss!

I apologize if I forget to mention or highlight anything. I am terrible at writing concise posts and would be truly amazed if you were actually still reading this. LOL. You can find everything in the following credits and LMs:

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:

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:

Izzie's New Lila Skin

Happy Holidays! The talented Izzie Button just created another stunning new skin line, called Lila. I am so touched by the name! Izzie really went all out, creating a seriously lovely face with lips to die for. The body, as always is beautifully rendered.

One of the things I adore most about Izzie's skins are all the options! Lila comes in a choice of  9 different skin tones. Each skin tone includes: 4 brow colors (embedded into the skin), 4 brow colors (embedded into the skin with cleavage), a freckles tattoo, 12 lipstick tattoos, 11 eye shadow tattoos, an eye liner tattoo, a nail base (glove layer), a brow shape and even a shape for the skin (regular and Phat Azz).
There is basically an infinite number of looks you can achieve with all of these mix and match options. Not to mention, you are technically getting a whole fatpack of skin for a very nice price. So, do yourself a favor and demo Izzie's skin ASAP!

N-core and Last Day for Shoetopia

I apologize, Blogspot crashed on me and I lost ton posts, so I am reloading....

Wow! Claire Messenger of N-core went all out for SHOETOPIA 2013. She created three fabulous new mesh shoes. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite! Anyway, I will try to keep this a brief as possible, since I had to rewrite this post again. Blogspot crashed on me and did not savie this post. If you happen to be reading this post after SHOETOPIA has ended, the shoes will be available in N-core Mainstore.

The first set of shoes that I am gong to show you, are N-core's new DESIRE heels:

These sexy strappy and studded heels are STUNNING! If you are familiar with N-core's shoes, then you know that you can change the color of the different parts of the shoe via their HUD - Shoe (16 color choices if you buy the fatpack), Soul (gold, black, bronze & red), Inner (gold, silver & black), Logo (gold, black, silver & red) and Metals (gold & silver). 

N-core also uses a 'Click and Match' skin matching system via HUD. By clicking the HUD, you access a huge a database with the skin tones from most of the skin designers on the grid. You just click the button with your favorite skin's tone and voila! Your feet match your skin! Due to different lighting, you may have to slightly tweak the color, which takes a second. This goes for all skin matching systems.

The second pair of shoes from N-core, are their GLANCE booties:

I think the GLANCE boots are my favorite out of the three! I love the yummy colors and textures. Claire makes some of of the most beautiful shoes on the grid. GLANCE comes in 15 colors and 5 dual tones (which are my personal fav). The parts are also fully customization via HUD - Shoe (20 color choices if you buy the fatpack), Soul (gold, black, bronze & red), Logo (gold, black, silver & red) and Metals (gold & silver) - and use the 'Click and Match' skin matching system. 

Last and certainly not least, are the VERTIGO heels:

VERTIGO is the perfect name for these super high platform stilettos! Talk about towering heights! How can you not love them? As I have mentioned before, the parts of the shoes are fully customization via HUD - Shoe (20 color choices if you buy the fatpack), Soul (gold, black, bronze & red), Logo (gold, black, silver & red), Inner (gold, silver & black) and Metals (gold & silver) - and use the 'Click and Match' skin matching system.

HAIR!

Ok, as promised, I decided to do one HUGE hair post! As most of you know,the last 2 months have been seriously crazy for me. I had been quite ill, my laptop was overheating and dying, and I am also still in recovery mode. There have been so many wonderful new hair releases in SL, as well as improvements in textures and colors. One of the biggest new trends now that I love, is creating HUDs to color hair. Not only does it save tons of space in your inventory, but it allows the designer to create more color options. Kavar Cleanslate of  :Exile:: has been using a HUD system for over few months now. Truth hawks and Tabata Jewell of Vanity Hair , just started releasing hair that is colored via HUD and I love it. Ok, enough talk about HUDs and let me show you some hair. I also have some beautiful new skins to show to you as well.

I guess I will started with the latest releases from Kavar Cleanslate :;Exile:: (FYI: I love all of these hair designers equally, so there is no specific importance to the order):

I am in LOVE with Exile's new long flowing hair styles! They are just too sexy words! I wore them with Belleza's latest skin line, called 'Leila'! This is definitely my favorite Belleza skin since Ava .These lovely make-ups are all Boutique exclusives. There are a choice of 4 make-ups (I am showing 3 out of 4), which are available in all the current Belleza-skin tones. FYI: the full release of  the Leila skin line will be available in the new -Belleza- mainstore. So stayed tuned for pics.

The next group of brilliant new hair releases that I have to show you are from TRUTH HAIR. I love the delicate feminine feel to all 3 of these hair styles, which go perfectly with all my new Fall clothes. Now that Truth's hair is colored via HUD, you will never have trouble finding the perfect shade of (insert hair color here).

I am wearing one of the latest new skin's from -Glam Affair-, called 'Lucy'. OMG! I LOVE LUCY! The skin is luminous, the make-ups are stunning and the lips aret perfect!

Tabata's Jewell's (of Vanity Hair) new releases are absolutely fabulous! She basically revamped her whole hair line. She is now using mainly rigged mesh and an awesome HUD to color her hair. Why is the HUD so great? Well, besides being able to use it color your hair with her existing colors/textures, you can also use it to tint your hair any way you want! It basically gives you an endless selection of color! Now, as far as Tabata's newest styles go, they are all amazing and all very different. From beautiful braided boho styled tresses to vampy fashionsita waves, she has something for everyone!

The skin I am wearing is one of the many new releases from Izzie Button, called 'Kaelyn'. Hmm.., I wonder how she came up with that name? LOL! This skin is really one of Izzie's best skins to date. The features and details of this skin are just gorgeous!

So, with that all said, go buy some hair and some skin! Here are your credits and LMs:
