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:

If You Only Knew!

The end of the October Cycle of Collabor88 is sadly coming to a close tomorrow. As always, I am sure there a many MUST HAVE Collabor88 exclusives that you have either forgot to the grab or haven't gotten to see yet. I had actually planned to post these images on Halloween, but I had come down with a wicked sinus infection and also bad case bronchitis. So suffice it say, I did not even have the energy to edit this images. I sincerely apologize for this. If you have not picked-up of any of Harry Hyx's - of ISON - fabulous creations, then you HAVE to TP to Collabor88 NOW! Harry created this stunning Amelia Lace Gown. It is made up of beautiful lace bodice with a long sleek silk skirt that has a sexy slit up the thigh. Harry also made these AMAZING 'Lace-up Gladiator Sandals', which are made to work with Slink mesh feet. There is one word to sum up the MUST have shoes - EPIC! Harry always manages to come up with the most ingenious designs!

Isn't this hair that I am wearing fabulous? This 'Windswept' hair style was created by Bubbles Clawtooth (of Clawtooth) for the October round of Collabor88. I am so in love with this style! It adds such a wonderful dramatic effect for pictures. You have to demo it NOW!

Since these images were part of a Halloween inspired post, I chose to wear this hauntingly beautiful 'Horror edition' of Glam Affair's latest Vera skin line. The Horror Edition skins come with a choice of 4 stunning make-ups in the Neva, Lucy and Vera skin lines! I just hope they are still available, since they can used to create a dramatic look all year round. 

I have been wanting to blog these wonderful home decor pieces from the super talented Cherelle Capra of [CIRCA]. Cherelle created these amazing Gothic inspired candle holders, curtains, tulip vase, and side table, which are all part of the 'Constantine' collection. This 'Illusions' Vanity Chair in the background is also from too[CIRCA]! If you love home decor and are searching for that perfect piece of furniture for your home, please do yourself a favor and check this store out!

So with that said, RUN and SHOP! Here are your LMs and Credits:

I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

I'm drawing a blank today and can't think of much to say, which is a rare thing. I guess this post was inspired by Autumn in NY. I was just up in Woodstock visiting friends and family and I had forgotten just how beautiful the Catskills Mountain are in the Fall. The trees have all turned color and it is really an amazing site to see.
I had this gorgeous high-neck sweater and leather pencil skirt from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice that I had been meaning to blog. She created these beautiful Anne separates for October's FaMESHed. They come in a ton of wonderful autumn tones, so I highly suggest you run over to FaMESHed and demo them before the cycle ends in a day or two.

 N-core is also participating in the October's FaMESHed. For this round, Claire Messenger created a pair of seriously sexy MAMBO stilettos. They are to die for, so please make sure you demo these too.

I was recently sent some gorgeous mesh jewelry from new-to me designer Dieguinhooo Resident of [AMNESIA]. I was really impressed with this designer's creations, which are made up of bold and beautifully made statement pieces. For this post, I am wearing their BODYSPIT mesh necklace in gold. If you would like to see more examples of this fabulous creator's jewelry, please check out my previous post HERE. 

Speaking of gorgeous bold jewelry, I also decided to wear these Chic glasses, earrings and ring from Luciayes Magic of Swallow. Chic is the name of the collection, as well as a great adjective to describe this awesome collection, which is a L'accessoires exclusive this month. Each item from this collection is also fully customizable via a HUD, giving you endless wear options. 

I am apologize if I missed anything.I am so tired right now. Here are the credits and LMs:

There are also some amazing new releases from the April cycle of Collabor88. The theme is "Kitsch". I can just imagine how much fun all the designers had, while making their creation for this quirky theme. There is a beautiful new skin from -Glam Affair-, called "Margot". As all of aida Ewing's skins, she is absolutely stunning! The face is to die for and she has the most perfect pouty lips! I could not resist wearing this skin for this post. Make sure you try on demo ASAP!
I also chose to wear another Collabor88 exclusive for this post. It is a fabulous new hairstyle from LaViere, called "Gisele". Azure Electricteeth not only makes some of my most favorite clothes on the grid, but hair as well. This style is long, chic and sexy.

Mon Tissu Blogger Contest Entry!

Even though it is almost officially Autumn, it is still fairly warm in New York. Although I welcome the crisp air and beautiful colors that come with Fall, I still feel like holding on to Summertime a little bit longer. With this in mind, I wanted to recreate a scene on a sailboat in a place similar Montauk Point, New York (as best as SL could possibly let me). As I worked on this post, I could imagine the sunlight warming my skin, the smell of salty ocean air and the cool winds that would brush against me. And, since fashion is my passion, I could not help but think of what I would wear. The attire for such a post, requires the cool and casual chic of Mon Tissu. As I am sure you are all well aware, Mon Tissu creates the most amazing clothes on the grid. Their use of extraordinary textures, well rendered mesh and beautifully crafted prims, is undeniable and always leaves me awe struck.For my outfit, I chose their comfy striped 'Slouchy Sweatshirt' that I am totally in love with right now. I adore the hint of skin it reveals as it gently falls off the one shoulder. I paired this gorgeous top with my favorite 'goto' jeans, which are their 'Nora' jeans. They are the quintessential skinny jeans and hug your body in all the right places. To add a finishing touch, I decided to wear Mon Tissu's stunning 'Openwork Wedges'. These shoes are can be worn so many ways and compliment almost any casual look.
For me, this is a style that I would definitely wear in RL and especially for a relaxing day on a sailboat. I hope you like...

BELGRAVIA!

If you LOVE Leverocci then you will definitely LOVE their new luxury brand, Belgravia. Leverocci's gorgeous all mesh and high quality designs are seriously amazing. However, if you are looking for something a little less casual and bit more upscale (it is hard to get more upscale than Leverocci) then Belgravia is just what you need. They just released a new collection for Fall and Winter, which consists of sumptuous furs, classic trench coats, super high leather boots and uber sexy corsets. And, to make this new label even more irresistible, their is a new skin line coming out as well!
For this post, I decided to show-off their latest 'Kensington Trench Coat' and 'Electra Boots'. Not only are both these creations absolutely stunning, but are definite MUST HAVES that every SL fashionista should treat themselves to! Jin Elfan, the creative force behind Belgravia and Leverocci, truly outdid herself. I can NOT wait to see what she will release next! Please stay tuned for more posts of her latest 'Fall/Winter Collection' too. BTW, I am wearing her 'yet to be released' (and named) skin. It is so lovely and I really do not want to take it off! So, let me stop my blabbing and get on with pics and credits. Here is your LM:

Belgravia and Last Minute Collabor88 Must Haves!

Jin Elfan of Leverocci has been up to a lot of amazing things lately! Not only has she created an awe inspiring new mainstore and sim (which is modeled after the Metropolitan Museum of Art), but she also released part one of her Fall/ Winter collection. Jin is most definitely one of the TOP mesh creators in SL. Her creations are always textured so perfectly and she knows just what every woman in SL wants. Because of such keen knowledge, she created a new luxury line of mesh clothes, called 'Belgravia'. One of my favorite pieces is her 'Lila Fur Coat'! And it is not just because it has my name! It is the most realistic fur I have seen to date in SL. And, since it is mesh, it wraps around your body and flows perfectly. This coat is the ultimate indulgence and every woman must get one! Plus, I am so flattered that some one as awesome as Jin, named this uber glamorous creation after me :D So, you MUST check out the new Leverocci SIM and the amazing new releases as well. For once, I am speechless.
Now, if you have not been to the August cycle of Collabor88, please go NOW! The theme is 'Baroque' and there are so many amazing pieces to be found! I decided to feature a dress from Valentina E. for this post. I love the intricate mesh texture and sleek lines of her 'Baroque Shell Dress'. It is so lovely! So, let me stop blabbing and give you the LMs:

Happy Birthday Mr. Hawks!

For those of you who have not already heard, it is Truth Hawks' birthday today! My close friend, blogger and SL wife of Mr. Hawks, Kaelyn Alecto, accomplished the mind blowing task of snapping 140 pictures of SL's fashion community in honor of this special day. She also encouraged all SL bloggers to send Truth some love and write a birthday post for him. How could I resist the man, whose hair made my SL a much more beautiful and fashionable place? Truth Hawks is an SL icon. Just about every woman in SL has one of his AMAZING creations in their inventory (actually we all do, since he created the updated LL default avatar hair) For me, Truth's hair was my first purchase in the process of de-noobing myself and also the beginning of a very long love affair with his hair. When I first started blogging, Truth was one of the first creators to send me copies to blog. I have no idea why, because I was a terrible blogger. I think he must have mixed-up my blog with someone else. LOL. Regardless, it meant the world to me and made me feel special. Truth has always had this presence in SL, not unlike 'The Great Oz'. He is mysterious, yet seems to be everywhere (well, his hair is worn just about everywhere in SL). Now, I can not say I know Truth well, but I have had the privilege of catching a few glimpses behind the curtain. And, unlike 'The Great Oz', he is not a disappointment. He is kind, generous, down-to-earth and even funny (he is really funny, to be honest)! Truth can be a bit a perv as well, but that is cool too ( I am also a bit of perv, so I can't say anything bad about that)! I know I am babbling like dork and am also really tired. So, I will sum my post up with this... "Happy Birthday TRUTH!" Thank you for your support, generosity and amazing creations. I wish you the most fabulous year ever with many more to come!

Vienna in Arabia

Yay! I got to grab my good friend and blogger, Suriko Leimes of 'The Bunneh Files', for another post. Now let me just say, this girl is a SAINT! She put up with all my driver crashes and items not rezzing. This post took ages to do and it should look amazing, but I was so frustrated and my laptop would just not cooperate. But, how can bad it be, since we are wearing the latest from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice? I LOVE this her new 'Vienna Mesh Jumpsuit'. The relaxed chic style is to die for! And something I would definitely wear in real life too! So, let me stop blabbing and show you the goods...
Here is your LM:

Major Graphic Card Problems and End of Summer Post

I know you MUST be sick of my laptop rants, but my graphic card did a final crash. Hence the lack of posts. I did find out that there was a driver update that I did not see on the website. Even though I can now log back into SL, I am still having issues. So, please ignore the crappy graphics and please bear with me. I think my laptop days in SL are coming to end. I will have to get a desktop, becuase SL just eats laptops and all their hardware.
So, LOTS of newness from  -Glam Affair- ad ::Exile::. I also missed the posting this uber cute 'Ribbon Kini' from PIDIDDLE, which was an Attic exclsuive, on time. Stupidly, I mixed the days up with another event. So, I am praying it will be available in the store or at least on Market Place.
aida Ewing's lastest skin 'Lilith' has to be my fav to date! Her features are so delicate and beautiful. And I LOVE that she has new skins tones that we saw with Cassiopea. aida works hard to constantly improve and update her skins. This is why she is one of my most favorite skins designers.
Kavar Cleanslate has also been working on new textures! I simply adore his new 'Fusion' hair texures. They look amazing. Please check them out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54832439@N03/7906259316/in/photostream
So, let me stop my babbling, so you can check out my post. I hope you like ^^ Here are your LMs too:

The Last Few Hours of Vintage Fair 2012 Featuring *SoliDea FoliEs*

Sadly, it is the last day of Vintage Fair 2012. It closes at 3pm SLT today. So, if you missed anything or did not make it there yet, now is the time go! I figured I would close with an amazing creation from Mila Tatham of *Solidea FoliEs*. Her 'Salima' dress is just one of the many gorgeous exclusives you will find from her at Vintage Fair. Mila is truly an artist and all her creations are timeless.
Once again, I am wearing the gorgeous Vintage Fair exclusive from Lara Hurley Skins. 'Claudia' is so lovely and you must grab it now! So, let me shut-up and get your cute pixelated butt down to Vintage Fair before it is gone. Here are your LMs:
