Sneak Preview Of ROWNE! Store Grand Opening Today!

OMG! I am so excited and soooo late with this post! I don't know if you have heard, but there is an AMAZING new store and brand that is opening today, called ROWNE!

Who is ROWNE? Rowne is co-owned by the seriously talented team of Justice Topaz and Fashionboi Landar with Couleur Latoe joining as part of the design team! I have always been a HUGE fan of House of Fox, so I was ecstatic to hear about this incredible new venture and even more excited to be one of their bloggers.
*side note*I usually like to take more time with my pics and posts, but since I was running behind and the grand opening of this store is today, I decided to just post what I had finished. So, please stay tuned for more looks....

What can you expect from ROWNE?

ROWNE is "featuring essential items that are timeless; meant to be updated with seasonal pieces so you can continue to wear them throughout the year". I had a difficult time choosing items for this post, since they were all so beautiful. The clothing is made-up of soft and luxurious textures (knits, cottons and leathers) in classic colors that can be easily mixed and matched with anything in your wardrobe. After a couple hours of fussing with all the lovely separates, I finally decided on this yummy Athe Sweater paired with these gorgeous Steffen Shorts. The feel is truly timeless, classic and modern. The mesh is rendered to perfection and it is obvious that much time, thought and effort has been put into each and every item.

 I also added their Valor 2-Tone Clutch to the mix and it matched perfectly! There is so much more to see, so please stay tuned. Even better, you can see for yourself today!

When and Where? ROWNE is opening today, June 28th at 12 pm SLT! 

So make sure come and check-out all of the brilliant new designs. Demo them too! Here is your LM: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rowne/194/85/22

Please make sure that you also check out ROWNE's website, which has an AMAZING video featuring their new collection, or all news and updates! Here is the link: http://rownesl.com/

Besides, the initial capsule collection of MUST HAVE separates, shoes and clutches, the ROWNE team will be releasing hair and other to die for essentials too! I can not wait!

Summer Exclusives from Belleza!

The super talented Shyla Diggs, of -Belleza-, has been very busy creating gorgeous event exclusives for this year's Summerfest and June cycle of The Liaison Collaborative. For both of these events, she brought back two of my all time favorite -Belleza- skins: Nina and Ria.

Nina comes 4 beautiful summer inspired make-ups and skin tones that will be available at Summerfest 2014. Unfortunate, Summerfest 2014 doesn't start until the 22nd of June, so please stay tunes for a LM. Shyla  included a special 'Sunburn' tattoo with this skin, which I absolutely adore. She also included: freckles, moles and gloss tattoos. This amazing hairstyle, which is called Boardwalk Breeze, is an Arcade exclusive from hair diva Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth. 

Shyla also created an extra special version of her Ria skin line for this month's The Liaison Collaborative. She is available is 4 lovely make-up and skin tones. Make sure you demo them all!

The hair is another seriously cute  Arcade hair exclusive from Kavar Cleanslate of Exile, called London. She comes with a pair over-sized sunglasses with texture-change hUD. So make sure you try your luck and when you favorite!

The starfish adorned earrings and necklace are June Collabor88 exclusives from Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, which you absolutely can NOT miss! 

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

Baiastice for FaMESHed!

I am really tired today, so I am going to try and make this post brief...
Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice, always manages to impress to me with her wonderful designs. She created this AMAZING belted Sophia Jumpsuit for May's FaMESHed. The jumpsuit comes in ton of brilliant Spring/Summer colors and with a color change HUD for the belt, which makes for perfect styling.
Make sure you demo this ASAP!

There are so many wonderful new accessories on the grid, whether it is a store release or an event exclusive. I adore these new Lacey Platform heels from Dave Freeman of Just Design. They comes in a vast array of single of colors, which also come with a HUD that changes the texture of the sole and chain (gold, silver and black). If you buy the fatpack (with all colors), then you can change the color of each part of the shoe (sole, shoe, straps and chain), giving you unlimited wear options! Please keep in mind, that these shoes require JD - MyFeet Tip Toe, which you can buy at the Just Design Mainstore or on the Markeplace. 

I highly recommend picking up Just Design's MyFeet in Flat and Tip Toe. Not only are they beautiful bare feet with a perfect skin matching system (via database with almost every skin tone on the grid), but they are made to be worn with most of Just Design's latest shoe releases. Other shoe creators are also making shoes to fit his feet, just like the Slink bare feet!

SigiFaust Resident of ieQUED, created these awesome new Ace Shades. Not only are they perfectly rendered, but they come with endless options! A HUD let's you customize the temple, the frames and the accent piece in a choice of 16 colors. The lenses have 5 textures to choose from via the HUD and you can tint to them to any shade desired! Definitely make sure you grab these right away!

May's L'accessoires is still going strong! There are so many wonderful pieces of jewelry that you can find here this round. I absolutely LOVE this Irie Necklace from the talented riri Bazar of h.m.a.e.m..
I am also very fond of this lovely Swirly Dress Ring from Tiffy Vella of Eclectica. The ring has a texture change script too! Please make sure check out all the wonderful creations at this round of L'accessoires!
I know this gorgeous Nostalgia bracelet is not a L'accessoires exclusive, but I could not resist mentioning it again. It was made by talented Caelyn Hancroft of Cae and is part of her larger Nostalgia Collection, which also includes a necklace, earrings and rings. Each part is texture change via HUD. Do yourself a favor and check out all of Cae's amazing creations!

Oh more thing, this Toni Straw Tote, which is from Indyra Seigo of {Indyra}, is another summer staple. It comes with 3 bag holds (elbow, hand and arm) and has a texture change script that gives you several color options!

May Eve

I'm still rushing to catch-up with all of April's events and am obviously cutting it real close! It is the last day of April, so please make sure you run and check-out the following events exclusives (if you haven't already) before the venues close this evening.
The first of May is almost here and Spring is well underway. I am in love with all the pretty pastel tones and dreamy prints that are flooding the stores this season. Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice, one of favorite creators, has followed suit with a ton of gorgeous new items for all the different events.

I particularly adore this gorgeous Ory shirt and skirt combination piece, which was an April FaMESHed exclusive. Unfortunately, I am just now realizing that I made the mistake of putting this month's FaMESHed exclusives in my inventory's Seasons Story folderrrrrr. OMG! Oops! A huge oops! I had planned to post this dress for Seasons Story, which is ending tonight a 12am SLT. However, it was created for April's FaMESHed, which is now over (grrr)... I do apologize for this massive mistake. Thankfully, you will be able to purchase it in Baiastice Mainstore now! The pretty pink Metallic Letters Clutch that I am holding, IS part of Baiastice's Seasons Story exclusive. At least I got that right!

This stunning skin is indeed a Seasons Story exclusive from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. It is part of her latest Brandi skin line, which comes in a choice of 5 lovely make-ups in 2 skin tones (Europa & Frost). Each make-up comes with 12 brow colors (including 3 new pastel colors and a no brow option) that are embedded into skin. You can also purchase an additional pack of 14 vibrant lipsticks, making the wear options virtually endless. 

The hair, which is yet another another Seasons Story creation, is from the talented Kavar Cleanslate of Exile. It is called San Francisco, and it comes with flowers (color change too) in it's hair! However, I decided to wear this amazing Spring Crown from Anemysk Karu of ANE. These gorgeous rose Strappy Heels are also from ANE. You can find both the Spring Crown and the Strappy Heels in ton of brilliant colors at this months Collabor88.

Make sure you grab the skin and hair at Seasons Story!

The mistake I made with the first dress, I also made with this super cute Ruffle Collar Blouse & High Waist from Nyu Nyu Kimono of NYU. This was a April FaMESHed exclusive, but you can find it in the Nyu Maisntore now. I simply love Nyu Nyu's minimal yet very feminine creations, which are expressed so perfectly in this Spring ensemble.

This beautiful Daenerys skin is from nina Helix of Birdy and (you guessed it) is a Seasons Story exclusive. This dewy skin is definitely one of my favorite Birdy skins to date. It is sold as simple make-up free skin that comes with nice variety of brow colors that are embedded into it. It also comes with a brow free option and has several cleavage choices (including a smaller size sans nipple) that can be changed via tattoo layer. I dipped into my huge collection of various make-up tattoos, since I wanted a pinker tint to the lips and eyes (as well as liner) for this look. However, the skin is perfect without make-up! Do yourself a favor and demo this skin ASAP!

This one-sided braid, is one of TRUTH's latest and greatest releases, called  Elyse. There are a ton of amazing new hair styles at the TRUTH  HAIR Mainstor right now! Yay!

Pose Fair 2014 is still going on! If you like to take pictures in SL then you really need to go and see all the incredible poses and props featured there. The awesome pose that I used for the first picture of this post, as well the bird prop (in pics 1,2 and 4), is a Pose Fair gacha exclusive from Olivia Lalonde of Le Poppycock. This collection consists of 12 different poses (including 2 rares) that you can use alone or with the blue bird (which has the pose scripted into) that comes with it. These poses are perfect for Spring, so try your luck and collect each pose (the doubles always make for a great gift)!

Speaking of Pose Fair creators Nati Willaims of Imeka Poses crated the charming pink Flowery Mini Bag, as well as the poses used in pics 3 and 4. The poses are part of her Charmy and Miwa pose collections at Pose Fair 2014. 

Poses for a blogger are just important as clothes. They give our images energy and expression, which is not an always such an easy thing to do. This is why I find it very important to credit and support these talented creators!

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:

Laid Back

While it is still fairly cool in NY, the weather and fashion is definitely warming-up in SL. Spring is most definitely here! With the onset of a new season, there are always mega events all over the grid. This post is made-up of some of my favorite event exclusives this month.

The talented Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, created this AMAZING Miranda mesh bustier, which is adorned with beautiful mesh flowers in contrasting colors. This bustier is also part of her Carmen Miranda inspired 'Miranda Collection', which is available at The Arcade. This collection is made-up of the above bustier in several brilliant colors, earrings that match the same flower on the bustier and also color turbans. Each play is on 50L, so make sure you stop by The Arcade and try your luck at winning one or all of these gorgeous creations!

Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice, created this beautiful and sleek Ivana High Slit Skirt for FaMESHed. This skirt comes in nice array of Spring inspired colors and also has matching marbled top that you will see later in an upcoming post! 

Skin Fair 2014 is still going on strong! While you are at this yearly event, you absolutely must stop by the -Glam Affair- vendor and demo this stunning new called, Romy. Aida Ewing, as always, went all out and created so many unbelievable options for this new skin.

• 5 cheek styles (on tattoo)
• 6 eyebrow styles in 8 different shades (on tattoo)
• 9 freckle and mole styles (on tattoo)

Now, here is where the fun part comes in! You can purchase the following make-ups and facial features to customize and personalize your look. Here are the packs you can purchase:

- Eye shadows - 3 different packages to choose from (all on tattoo)

• Light Line (6 styles included)
• Dark Line (6 styles included)
• Color Line (6 styles included)

- Glosses and Lipsticks (4 different packages to choose from )

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:
