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:

Swan Lake

Unless you have been hiding under a virtual rock, then you already know that The Arcade Gacha Event is here again and well underway! As always, all of the designers who are participating in this awesome event have managed to come up with the most brilliant creations (more like, "brilliant ways to entice us part with tons of lindens"s..lol)! The seriously talented Charming Meiler of ::{u.f.o}:: has created one of my favorite gacha collections to date for this round, which is called Swan Lake, Act 1.

I don't know about you, but when I was little I wanted to be a ballerina when I grew-up. I loved everything that had to do with ballet, from toe shoes to tutus. This is what Charming managed to re-create for me with her beautifully crafted mesh collection. It is not only made-up of beautiful tutus and ballet shoes (with a texture change HUD), but also wonderful home decor pieces and accessories. Elegant mannequins, retro princess phones and ballet shoe wall ornaments, which all come in a vast array of in pretty pastel colors. 

This is one gacha collection that you will definitely want to try your luck with!

Speaking of amazing Arcade collections, aida Ewing of Glam Affair created two new skins for this round of The Arcade. The skins are called Liv and Livvy and are both absolutely stunning! For this post, I chose to wear Liv. Both skins come in 10 gorgeous make-ups and three lovely skin tones (Arctic, Asia and India). There is even a RARE version in bare, so make sure you play to win all!

Mr. Truth Hawks is also participating in this round of The Arcade (as if you didn't already know). He created this fabulous hair style, called Sakura. Sakura comes in two styles - one side bun or a bun on each side. You can also win flowers and gummy bears in different colors  that can be worn in  this uber cute do. 

So what are you waiting for, go play at The Arcade! 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:

Last Day for December's Arcade and Goodbye to Firestorm Beta!

I had finally got around to downloading the new Firestorm Beta earlier this month and was so excited to use it! Unfortunately, it became impossible to use. I have a great ASUS gaming laptop with an awesome NVIDIA graphic card, so I did not think I would have any problems. These are some of the issues I had experienced: very slow performance, crashing when inventory half way loaded, video card driver crashes when taking pics, etc... I am sure my performance would be much faster if shadows and the advanced lighting mode were not in use or if I did not take such large pictures, but I am usually only on to take pics! It was making blogging virtually impossible for me. I can be rather stubborn and determined, but this was making my whole SL experience NOT fun and unproductive. So this is my last post using Firestorm Beta and I am reverting back to the old Firestorm until the bugs are worked out. I hope this is not the price I will have to pay in order to use anything "Materials Ready". FYI: This is just my personal experience using the aforementioned viewer. Please do not let my experience deter you from trying it out
Oh! I also will be away for New Years, so Happy New Years Everyone!!!

The main reason I was so persistent in using Firestorm Beta for the above image, is because I wanted to show off the amazing materials ready detail on this awesome Oh Deer Igloo from FrankLee Anatra of {what next}. It is just one of the many different igloos that you can win from their Arcade gacha! Each Igloo has it's own theme, which includes: a sled, sleeping bag in igloo, tree lights and a mailbox (RARES). There are also several couples and singles animations in and outside the igloo! So make sure you try your luck!

I am also in love with these uber cute penguins from the talented Aime Takaaki of *MishMish*. These guys are also an Arcade gacha exclusive that you simply can not pass up!

The gorgeous hooded winter dress actually comes with the hair! This is a special Arcade exclusive from Kavar Cleanslate of Exile and is called, First Snow! Each gacha try allows you to win one of 15 hair color packs and also a HUD with 10 different colors for the dress! There is a special RARE HUD that has several dress colors in a sparkle texture too! I was being a bit boring for this post, since I loved this shade of cream sans sparkles. 

I nearly fell over when I saw this beautiful Suede Muff from Maylee Oh of The Secret Store! And Guess What? It is FREE! Well, if you can find it... It is one of the many amazing hunt items that you can find at Inspiration Point's Christmas Hunt. All of Inspiration Point's designers are taking part in this awesome hunt. This includes: The Secret Store, Tee*fy/LaViere, KIRIN and HOUSE of FOX. All you have to do, after TPing to the landing point, is touch the small hunt sign. After you touch the hunt sign, you should receive a folder with a hunt HUD and hunt map. Both the hunt HUD and map show where the hunt items are located. You can find hunt items hidden in a tiny green Christmas Tree. So Happy Hunting! This hunt ends on the 31st of December, so hurry over there, if you haven't already!

You also need to run over and grab this seriously pretty snowflake adorned necklace from Cae. This all mesh necklace is called, Let It Snow, and you can change the texture (silver and gold) of all it's components via HUD. I sincerely adore Caelan Hancroft's beautifully and delicately rendered jewelry. It always adds the perfect touch to any outfit.

Cabin Fever Part 2!

As promised, I wanted to go in greater detail about the outfit I was wearing in my previous post Cabin Fever. Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice, created some gorgeous mesh separates for her Fall/Winter collection. It is made up of smart blazers, high waist pants, military inspired jackets, silky camisoles and sumptuous handbags. This is definitely one collection you definitely do NOT want to miss!

For this post, I chose to wear almost all the pieces of Sissy's new collection, except for the military jacket. I paired the 'Fie Blazer' with these gorgeous 'Emy High-Waist Trousers'. I also chose to wear this stunning 'Roxie' top underneath the blazer. The blazer comes in 2 versions - one made for layering and a regular version. 

Tricky Boucher of -Belleza- created a special version of his Ava skin for The Rockabily Fashion Fair. She is absolutely beautiful. Perfect red lips and sexy liquid lined eyes. She comes in the usual -Belleza-  skin tones, so do not hesitate to grab it ASAP!

After a long awaited break, Kavar Cleanslate of Exile released a ton of amazing new hair styles! Along with this gorgeous do, he also created a lot more hair colors for each color HUD!Let's just say, it was well worth the wait! I am absolutely in love with this style in the above pics, which is called "Daydream".  Go demo them all now!

Cabin Fever

I apologize if this post is late. I have been away dealing with some RL stuff again and I really miss having time for my blog. Anyway, for the last round of The Garden, Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea created this amazing "Yukon Kitchen" set. I adore the retro feel to this charming cabin kitchen. The Kitchen is composed of 5 animated pieces (the kitchen, island and stools) that come with PG or Adult animations.It also comes with some super charming pumpkin and squash shaped tea light holders. I also added some other items from {what next} and [CIRCA] to mix. The cabin is from the talented Corey Edo of Trompe Loeil.

All details regrading my outfit will be in the next post.

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.

Lucy In The Sky

I am still sooooooo behind! So many events, so little time! I had been in a bit of rut when it comes to ideas for my posts. I had this gorgeous, as well as brilliant, mesh 'E-Motion Dress' from Maylee Oh of The Secret Store, All of Maylee's creations are incredible, but this dress... Well, let's just say I was blown away. It has this gorgeous cumulus cloud design, which actually rotates within the dress! The dress is Designers United 5 event exclusive, so you should grab it before this event over on October 4th. I really wanted to come up with a great idea for this post, in order to show off just how wonderful it is .Unfortunately, static images can't show you it's beautiful animation details. Luckily, Nati Williams, who is one of my favorite bloggers and {Imeka!} pose maker, made a video featuring this dress and a couple other items from Designers United 5. If you want to see what I am talking about, please visit Nati's blog Inspire You Look HERE: http://inspireyourlook.com/45/ . You should check-out Nati's blog anyway, because she is super talented and has such great style! Here is my first shot of the dress too:

I search of ideas for this post, I went to the Designers United 5 event. OMG! It is seriously AMAZING! The theme for this year's Designer United, is 'Surrealism'. The combination of an awesome theme, mixed with my favorites designers (almost all ), made for the most fabulous creations. It is needless for me to say that with the onset of mesh almost any idea is possible. I think I bought almost everything there. All the items there are exclusive ( reasonably priced too), which means that they will not be sold after the event is over. I know all events say their items are exclusive and then you see them in the designer's mainstore after it is over (which is great for bloggers who are behind). However, these items are truly unique event exclusives and you definitely do not want to miss the chance to buy them!

The Trapeze Telephone Pole is a Designers United 5 exclusive from Nuwiggles. It can be used a pose prop or just decor for your home. I like using it for both. If you are a photographer, I really suggest buying this prop. It has been the source of  inspiration for so many great pictures. 

The uber cute Mochi Bunny that I am wearing was created by Anya Ohmai of !Ohmai for Designers United 5. The 'Mochi Bunnies' are actuality part of a set that comes with bunnies that you can wear and rez. Anya Ohmai always comes up with such a adorable and lovely ideas. 

The skin that I am wearing is from one of the gorgeous news skin lines by aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-, called 'Lucy'. I am in LOVE with this skin! aida created such beautiful make-ups for Lucy and also tons of options! There are a total of 12 make-ups (as well as a bare make-up) that are available in 6 skin tones. Each make-up comes with 3 nose options (on a tattoo layer), a matte lip tattoo, 3 glossy lip tattoos, freckle tattoos, and 7 brow colors (embedded into the skin). This skin will fit just about any shape, so go and try on a demo ASAP!

Kavar Cleanslate of  :Exile::, created this seriously cute hair style for the Attic event. I love the whimsical girly feel to this hair, which also suits this dress perfectly! It comes with the texture change flowers that I am wearing too! I think tomorrow is the last day for this round of My Attic, so RUN and grab it!

My eye guy, Ikon Innovia came out with a new style of eyes for this round of the The Boutique! They are called 'Perspective Eyes' and are obviously stunning! They also come in just about every color imaginable. If you have not tried Ikon's eyes yet, I highly recommend that you do. I swear that you will never want to wear any other eyes again!

rockstarroo GossipGirl of [Atooly], created the adorable 'Lady Penguin Necklace' and the dainty 'Heart Charm Necklace' that I am wearing. You can find such charming accessories at [Atooly]. rockstarroo's jewelry works with just about any look, especially if you want something delicate, beautiful and understated. 

I think I covered almost everything. I hope I did, because I am running out words and my head is starting to hurt. LOL. Here  are your LMs and credits:

Last Days Of Summer

Labor Weekend is soon approaching with an air of melancholy. The days are quite noticeably shorter now, at least on my hemisphere, and that carefree feeling of Summer is just about gone. Don't get me wrong, I love Fall and it's fashion, but I am just not ready for it yet. Anyway, I will make this post quick. It is mix of items from various events over the last month, which are also coming to end. So, please take a look a pics and the credits....
