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:

The Secret Store & Peqe Rock the 70s at the 'The Cellar'

I have an abundance of fabulousness to show you all today. I hoped this would have been posted earlier. Like this morning earlier... It took me 9 hrs to get this point of writing. I have been having tones of technical issues that are slowing me down. So, please bear (or is it bare?) with me. I know I will have a lot of delayed posts and I apologize in advance. Keep your fingers crossed that this is fixed soon. Anyway, back to the fabulousness. If you haven't already heard, 'The Cellar @ EUPHORIA' is an event that just started and is featuring a few of SL favored designers. What makes this event so great is that the there is a theme, '70s (one of my favorite fashion decades) and very affordable prices. Let's just say, I have been literally blown away by what I ha have seen and here a couple of examples from 'The Secret Store' and 'Peqe'. So, where to start... I guess I will start with 'The Secret Store'.....

The Secret Store - Boheme -  Batic Diamonds

The Secret Store - Boheme - Pop Squares

The Secret Store - Boheme -Wild Flowers

I just need to express, "Maylee Oh is FREAKING AMAZING!". She has truly has me in awe with her 'Boheme' dress. I don't even know where to begin. The scuplts and the designs is absolutely stunning. The textures and colors are rich and highly detailed. This is a dress that I just don't want to take off. It screams Spring and has a quiet elegance. I also suggest going for the fatpack, since you will want all of these incredible patterns. Just so you know, this is a 'Cellar' exclusive. You can only find this piece at The Cellar' and not at 'The Secret Store' mainstore. Here is you limo to 'The Secret Store @ The Cellar': http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Euphoria/84/91/20

Peqe - Bold_70s

Now, the other piece I have to show you, is this brilliant bold piece, hence the name 'Bold_70s', created by designer extrordinaire Inex Hax. I love Inex's designs and this definitely no exception. This piece is is composed of over-sized  'petal-like sculpts' that have become one of Inex's signature designs. This is the perfect statement piece, which is fashion fashion forward and definitely a bit edgy. Inex has become quite the trend setter, so this is one creation you do not want to miss. Once again, this can not be found at the Peqe mainstore. it can only be found at the 'The Cellar'. Here is you limo: http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Euphoria/84/91/20

New Boots from Berries Inc.!

Summse Sands used her design genius to create the perfect boots for the Winter season. These boots are also known as the 'Linda Boots'. They come in 6 yummy colors and a creamy leather texture. The smooth leather is complemented by a soft fur trim and adeptly finished off with a pair of incredibly rendered wooden buckles. The hand drawn texture is absolutely stunning. But then, of course, I would expect no less from Summse, since all her creations are of this high caliber. I know that you are just dying to see the 'Linda Boots' for yourself, so I sent you a limo to Berries Inc. : http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sweet%20Strawberry/128/126/23

New 'T Shirt Dresses' from T Junction

Designer Kalli Serevi, the co-owner of T Juction, just created a new line of super cute 'T Shirt Dresses'.  These adorable, yet still very sexy, 'T Shirt Dresses' come in 6 yummy colors with a charming design on the top. Each dress also comes with a short and long sleeve version too. Talk about options! This piece definitely makes for a fabulous wardrobe staple, since it can be worn and layered in many different ways. You can wear it as ultra flirty mini, or you can pair it with some jeans or leggings for a more casual look. Now, becuase the weather is cooler now, at least in my SL reality, I like to layer these dresses with a cute jacket or cardigan and some tights or leggings. So what are you waiting for? I am sending you a limo to T Junction, since I just know you will want to check the 'T Shirt Dresses' out for yourself : http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sunset%20Coast/56/238/24

Like most of Truth's latest releases, all styles come in a standard version and a streaked version with 63 colors to choose from. You have got to love that!

Awesome New Releases from Action

Designer MarilynMonroe Munro has been very busy creating some incredible designs lately. So, I have a quite a few to show that I know you will love. First, MarilynMonroe designed a new line of womens hair called, 'Alice'. I showed you a brief look at her on Sunday, but now I have a few more colors to show that I just know you will not be able to resist.

Action Womens Hair Alice - Golden Brown, Jet Streaked Blue, Light Auburn & Pink

:[Plastik]: Soul Ink Face Tattoos: Goth, Betty, Light Darkness & Artist Wanted

Action Womens Hair Alice - Platinum Jet Tip, Ruby Dark Tip, Jet/Snow & Sandy

:[Plastik]: Soul Ink Face Tattoos: Lace, Fire Breater, Souless & Compendium Master

You may want to click on the pictures for a bigger view. Like I have previously stated, 'Alice' is short and flirty angled bob. It definitely has become one of my more favored shorter hair styles. Plus, 'Alice' comes in a ton of mouth watering colors. You can buy 'Alice' in the singles packs of Auburn, Medium Brown, Platinum, Jet, Jet/Platinum and Platinum Jet Tipped for $150L. If you want more of  a certain shade/type, you can by a larger packs in Colour, Dark, Natural Blonde, Natural Brown, Natural Red, Red, Tipped and The Suicide Pack for $400L. Now, if you can never make-up your mind as to which hair color you want to have, like me, there is also a fatpack for $1000L. I also wanted to give quick mention to the tattoo/make-up layers that I am wearing in each picture. These tattoos are the latest creation from Aikea Rieko and are simply phenomenal. They are all done in black ink and beautifully rendered. You can find these 'Soul Ink' face tatts at [Plastik]: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Plastik/33/241/63

Now that the cooler weather is upon us, MarilynMonroe created a fabulous line of 'Womens Knit Garter Sox'. They are thicker looking than the usual 'garter sox' and definitely the perfect addition to your fall/winter wardrobe.

Action Womens Knit Garter Sox - Charcoal

These socks are definitely too cute for words and I would have to buy all of them! They come in neutral tones that blend perfectly with upcoming season.

Action Womens Knit Garter Sox - Charcoal, Bark, Classic, Cranberry, Teal & Xmas

You can grab the whole set for just $300L. Trust me, you will definitely wear them all!

Since I am already writing about super cozy and warm socks, MarilynMonroe designed a line of super adorable 'Unisex Cable Knit Sox' as well. Yes, that's right, they are unisex. So they can be worn by the guys too.

Action Unisex Cable Knit Sox - Midnight & Alice - Brown Damaged 01

Action Unisex Cable Knit Sox - Ice

The 'Unisex Cable Knit Sox' come in 6 yummy colors and with 3 different cuff attachments for perfect fit.  You can buy one pair for $60L or a fatpack for $200L.

Now, I don't have to tell you how much I LOVE bags. And MarilynMonroe definitely went all out when she designed this 'Unisex Study Bag'.

Action Unisex Study Bag - Vintage

I haven't been able to stop carrying this bag around. I am amazed at how well MarilynMonroe created this carefully worn look on leather texture. And it is most definitely a steal at $225L! The 'Unisex Study Bag' also comes in 5 other fabulous colors and you buy all 6 for $675L.

Now, I know you are probably just dying to get down to Action by now, so I will stop writing and just send you a limo: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Action%20Surf%20Sk8te/28/216/24

Looking Cute in 'Kyoot'

Saeya Nyanda is quickly becoming one of my most favored designers in SL. Her eye for detail is impeccable and her knowledge of what compliments a woman shape is on point. I just love how she knows exactly the right amount wrinkles to add and to what area. This may seem like an odd thing to like, but its really an art that many designers are still trying to obtain. These aforementioned skills mixed in with Saeya's adept shading and highlights, make for one gorgeous collection of clothes. Plus, the price the quality fo her clothes is unbelievably reasonable. It's rare to find to such high quality designs and such a low price. So, suffice to say, I was overjoyed when Saeya generously passed me some review copies. *Mwah Saeya* I have two body hugging dresses, the 'Clingy Tunic Dress' and the 'Cotton Mini Dress',  and one great pair of 'Zipper Cords' to show you in the following pictures. And, since I know you will adore these cute and sexy pieces as much as I do, I sent you a limo to take you down to Kyoot: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Silent/56/85/1516
