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:

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!

May Collabor88 Perfect Pin-ups

May Collabor88 is here and well underway! Once again, the Collabor88 creators managed to wow me with their amazing themed creations. Just when I think they can not top the previous rounds, they prove me wrong! LOL! The theme for May is called, Milkshakes and Turntables, which is definitely one of my favorite themes to date! What exactly is Milkshakes and Turntables? It's a perfect mix of late 50's to early 60's tailored styles and kitsch with a rockabilly edge. The color palette includes shades of pink, aqua, mint, red and black.

Azure Electricteeth of Tee*fy created the following look, which sums up Collabor88's May theme perfectly! I am totally in love with her Unbuttoned Knotted Shirt, as well as these High-Waisted Skinny Jeans. As always, Azure's creations are textured and rendered to perfection, making this ensemble even more irresistible! By the way, the Unbuttoned Knotted Shirt comes with a HUD, so you can change the color/pattern of the inside top. You can also chose to wear the shirt without the inside top.
These seriously sexy Moxi Heels from Darling Monday of fri.day are to DIE FOR! I love the glamorous pin-up girl feel of these peep-toe heels, which were made to be worn with Slink's AvEnhance Feet (High). You will definitely want to grab these shoes in every color available!

The super talented Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, created the perfect accessories to go with all your Collabor88 exclusives. She made these fabulous Mary Bow Bandanas that come in a ton of iconic patterns and prints. Gyo also designed these gorgeous Mary Swallow Earrings, which add a bit of rockabilly kitsch. Be sure to check-out her whole Mary Collection at May's Collabor88.
Speaking of awesome Collabor88 accessories, Polyester Partridge of (Yummy), created this delicious Cherry Necklace, as well as a whole line of other fruity necklaces and colorful baubles.

aida Ewing of Glam Affair, created another STUNNING new skin for Collabor88, called Coral! She is available in 8 beautiful make-ups and in a choice of 3 skin tones (Arctic, Asia and America). Each make-up comes in 8 different brow colors (embedded into the skin), as well as no brow option too! Do yourself a favor and demo this glamorous new skin ASAP!
Lamb Bellic of lamb, came out with this amazing retro inspired hairstyle, called Peggy Sue. And yes, it is a Collabor88 exclusive too! She created two more May themed styles, which you MUST check out right away!
I think I covered everything... So here are your credits and LMs:

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:

Rebirth and ISON Collabor88 Exclusives!

If you had read my previous post, then you know I had been away for the last week. My Grandmother, who I was very close to, had unexpectedly passed away. These last months in general had been fairly rough for me, which was mainly due to health issues and other RL stuff. However, after having lost such an important part of my life, it all seems quite trivial in contrast. It feels as if a huge part of myself has died. I had spent most of the last week running around non-stop and spending time with family down at my Grandmother's house in Florida. The extra family support helped soften the blow and gave me some much needed comfort. Unfortunately, now I am back home and faced with the reality of it all. This has to be one of the toughest things I have ever had to deal with. I just have been pushing myself to go through the motions of being human, trying to keep my brain occupied. For the most part, I find myself in constant state of reflection that triggers thoughts of things I need to change about myself. Hopefully, this will result in some sort of positive transformation....

Now that I said all of that, I will change the subject. 

In much happier news, the April cycle of Collabor88 has been well underway, bringing us a palette of watercolor inspired pastels mixed with romantic and flirty Spring creations. One of my favorite ensembles from this round, has to be from the seriously talented Harry Hyx of ISON. He created this lovely delicate Silk Camisole, as well as this perfectly pleated Midi Skirt. Both of these gorgeous separates are beautifully rendered and are available in ton of pastel and neutral colors. The Silk Camisole comes with 2 style options - regular neckline and a low cut version. The Pleated Midi Skirt also comes with 2 style options - belted with a HUD that changes the belt's shade and also without a belt. Both of these separates, which are Spring wardrobe staples, can be worn together or mixed and matched with other items in your inventory. So make you run over to Collabor88 and grab these STUNNING MUST HAVE items ASAP!

These fabulous shoes that I am wearing are from David Freeman of JUST DESIGN. They are called Lucy and are Seasons Story exclusive this month! These shoes are fully customizeable via HUD, allowing one to change the colors of the shoe, platform, sole and metals. There is also a sock option too! Please make sure you do yourself a favor and check these out too!

The stunning over-sized Maylea Clutch that I am holding is another April Collabor88 exclusive from Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo. They are available in a ton of pretty pastel tones and prints. Do not forget to grab these, since they are the perfect Spring accessory. 

I also adore this beautiful Gold Rose Pendant, which was created by Polyester Partridge of (Yummy). And you guessed it! This is an April Collabor88 exclusive too! Make sure you do not miss it!

This lovely low hanging chignon hair style is called Fleur and is from Truth Hawks. This is yet another April Collabor88 exclusive and comes with this gorgeous texture change flower accessory. You can choose to wear the hair with the flowers or alone. Make sure you demo this style ASAP!
This stunning skin is obviously from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. This latest skin is called, Brandi and is a Cutie Moon Fair exclusive. Brandi comes in 6 beautiful and youthful make-ups and is available 4 skin tones (Artic, Asia, America and Jamaica). Each skin also comes in 13 different brow colors (8 regular shades and 5 pastel colors) and a no brow option too! There are also 2 nose options (on tattoo), 2 lip glosses (on tattoo) and 12 lip colors (on tattoo). Make sure you demo this skin right away!

Work It!

I LOVE this round of Collabor88! The sleek polished looks are to DIE FOR! One of my favorite creations from this round, is this two piece Work It suit from Harry Hyx of ISON. The perfectly tailored blazer and trousers are so lovely. The blazer can be worn with silk blouse, a lacy camisole or nothing underneath. The look is up to you. Normally I love to layer, but I decided to go with sexier look and wore nothing underneath the blazer. Harry's work is stunning on it's own and doesn't need much else. Well, except for a few choice accessories...

I decided to add some classic Work Pearls from Polyester Partridge of (Yummy), which are also a Collabor88 exclusive this month. I also couldn't resist layering this stunning Elusive necklace for Caelyn Hancroft of Cae. I you haven't seen any of Cae's work yet, then you really must check it out ASAP. Her jewelry is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully rendered. Plus, most of her pieces come with a texture change HUD, which allows for almost unlimited wear options!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo created the perfect leather tote bag for March's Collabor88. It is called the Mackenzie Tote Bag and comes in a tun of neutral colors with a choice of silver and gold metals. I have been waiting for Gyo to release a new line of bags and she really outdid herself the Mackenzie tote. Every girl needs at least one these in her inventory!

Sigifaust of IeQUED has been making the most beautiful shoes. They are literally works of wearable art! Plus they are made to be worn with Slinks High Bare Mesh Feet, which makes them irresistible. IeQUED is still a relatively new store, but be sure to check it out. You will fall in love with all her fabulous creations!

Skin Fair 2014 is here and will be ending on March 30th! So please make sure you get over there and check out 3 full SIMS of beautiful skin. One of my favorite skins, which you can find at the Skin Fair, is PXL's Limited Edition JADE. Hart Larsson, (of [PXL Creations]) created JADE in 4 stunning new make-ups (Terre, Ultra Violet, Petal Pink and Orange Crush), which are just in time for Spring. They are in avail in 4 different skin tones (PALE, NATURAL, SUNKISSED and OLIVE). You can buy each make-up separately or buy the whole pack for a very nice price. Each make-up comes with a ton of options, which include: 4 brow colors (tattoo), a brow eraser (tattoo), 3 cleavage options (tattoo and shirt layer) and 3 mole options.There is also a freckle option, which is embedded into the skin. In the above pics, I am wearing JADE in Terre in the natural skin tone. Isn't she gorgeous? Please make sure you go and demo her ASAP!
I will be posting a lot more of my favorite skins from Skin Fair 2014, so please stay tuned!

Since I am talking about stuff I adore, how about this hair? The hair is called Haters, but I LOVE it. And of course Mr.Truth Hawks created this fabulous style. Is it possible for him to create a style that I don't love? Anyway, make sure go and try it on for yourself!

Intergalactic!

I really need to make this post as short as possible. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and it is killing me! LOL!
The February round of Collabor88 is literally out of this world! As I mentioned in a previous a post, all the designer's did such an amazing job with this "Supernova" theme.
One of my favorite pieces is this Mirte Structural Dress from Hervé Faenzo of Faenzo. This super sexy dress has the most incredible geometrical cutouts that are in all the right places. The slinky texture is even more fabulous and moves beautifully with your avatar. This is definitely one dress you simply must demo ASAP!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo collaborated with Faenzo for February's Collabor88 and created this fabulous Mirte necklace, bangle and earrings. The gorgeous bold style works perfectly with the Mirte Structural Dress or any outfit that calls for an amazing statement piece. It comes in gold, black, silver and bronze metals. There is also a matching mask and mesh back tattoo!

Another round of The Arcade just started and obviously there are a ton of 'must have' items that you will want to win! One of these items, is this gorgeous hair from Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth. It is called Fancy Free and I absolutely adore it! Bubbles has been creating the most beautiful styles lately and this is yet another style that he went all out on.
Last and certainly not least, Hart Larsson of PXL Creations created this stunning JADE "Love Edition" skin. This skin is a gift for PXL VIP Group members, so make sure you run and grab it! If you are not already in the VIP Group then you really should join. There is an initial join fee of 250L, but it is well worth it. Group membership allows you to use the VIP room teleport, as well as receive the following VIP group benefits: 10% extra discount on any purchase (where applicable), access to special releases (limited time) and also exclusive VIP sales!

Keeping It Casual Chic

I have been trying to keep up with all the amazing events lately. February has been a huge month for events! I would  actually like to start off my post with one item that is not an event exclusive, but gorgeous non-the-less. It is the fabulous Saoya Dress from Marry Lemur of Overhigh. I love the soft cashmere textured feel to this dress. I also adore the relaxed and generous boat neck top that is tapered into sleek and sexy mini dress. This is one dress that you simply must demo!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo created this fabulous Mabel Necklace and Mable Earrings in gold for GizzA Creation's "Love is in the Air" event, which is going on until the 28th. So please make sure go and check it out before it ends!

This "to-die for hairstyle" is from Truth Hawks and it is called Bryn. Truth has been releasing a ton of new and brilliant styles, so make sure go and demo it all!

Last Day For January Collabor88 Featuring Maitreya

I always like to save some of the best event items for last. My favorite creation for this round of Collabor88 has to be Maitreya's Vintage Lace Gown...

This gown is absolutely STUNNING! Onyx always puts so much effort into rendering life-like textures and creating top notch meshes. This Gown can be worn is many different ways too. It can be worn as a simple strapless gown sans lace overlay. Onyx also created a matching Vintage Collar and Vintage Pearl Necklace, which completes this ensemble perfectly. You can not help but feel like a total diva, when wearing this phenomenal gown. So if you have not bought or demoed this yet, make sure run and do it NOW!

Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth, created this super sultry and sexy hair that goes perfectly with Onyx's Gown. This tousled side-swept hair is called, Pink Flamingos. This style should look familiar, since I posted Bubble's Female Trouble hair, in a previous post here. The only difference is that Pink Flamingos does not have Female Trouble whispy bangs. I love both styles equally, so demo them before January's Collabor88 comes to a close!
