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!

Nothing Burns Like The Cold

It's been one crazy Winter. One week warm and the next two week freezing. Everyone has the flu and is laying low, so I am trying to make the best of it. At least the days are getting longer now.
I am going to make this post quick, despite the fact that there are so many lovely items to talk about...

The super talented NyuNyu Kimono of NYU, created this super adorable shift dress for Seasons Story. I love the clean lines and minimalist look of this piece, which NyuNyu is so famous for. It just goes to show that beautifully rendered mesh and great textures speak volumes.

Nina Helix of .Birdy., made this lovely new skin that I am wearing. It is called Savannah and is a Seasons Story exclusive too. Nina also created those uber cute bunny coffee mugs behind me. They are called Bunny Cafe and are an OMGacha exclusive this month! Nina makes such amazing mesh items and you will definitely want to collect all of these Bunnies! They are only 75L per play, so make sure you try your luck!

The talented Gyorgyna Larnia finally created a new release for the LaGyo Mainstore! It is this stunning feather necklace that I am wearing. This dramatic Mollie Necklace has a bohemian feel to it, yet still makes a bold statement, I am really in love this necklace, so make sure you check it out ASAP!

Uff! I know it is hard to see, but Caelyn Hancroft created the shorter necklace. It has disk shaped pendant with a tree in it. Not only is it perfectly rendered, but it comes with a HUD that lets you fully customize the colors. I will have to wear it again to show you. Caelyn is really making a name for herself by designing some of the most beautiful jewelry on the grid. The necklace is another Seasons Story exclusive this month!

 Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea has been very busy lately, making amazing furniture and home decor items for several events this month. One of my favorite items is this Roux Coffee Station for The Neighborhood. Obviously, I love coffee and anything related to it. However, this is the perfect addition to one's virtual kitchen. Especially when it is cold outside (like it has been in RL), since it adds lots warmth and charm. 

I think I covered almost everything. Please forgive me if I forgot anything. Here are the LMs and Credits:

Dazzled!

Well, I am back! I had to take a bit of break for issues that I had to attend to in RL. So, it has been awhile since I have been posting regularly. It feels strange. LOL! I also have a lot of amazing new releases to talk about and I really do not know where to start.
I guess I will start with the most obvious - August's cycle of Collabor88! It is Collabor88's 2 year Anniversary! Yay! I can't get over the fact that I have been blogging this event for 2 years now. I am one of the fortunate bloggers, who has been a part of Collabor88's Press Team from the very beginning. I still wonder to this day, why someone would pick me to cover such a spectacular event. I was part of a team that included all of SL's best bloggers and I just couldn't see how I fit in. Regardless of how I ended up being involved with Collabor88, I feel truly honored and fortunate to be a part of it. I knew from day one that this event was going to be really special. The list of designers says it all. Not to mention Collabor88's awesome management team. Because of this perfect collaboration of creative and inspiring people, Collabor88 is more popular than ever! Each new cycle is like Christmas. I am always anxiously waiting to see all the incredible creations each designer has made. For Collabor88's 2 Year Anniversary, the theme is absolutely brilliant! It is called "Razzle Dazzle". Think of classic 1920's style (ie,' The Great Gatsby', flappers, speakeasies, art deco, etc...). The 20's is definitely one of my favorite decades for fashion and design. So suffice it say, I am ecstatic over this month's creations. I know you probably have already seen most of what I am posting, but it never hurts to show it again.

This mesh "Dazzle Gown" from Harry Hyx (of ISON) is to die for! I love the sleek lines that are accentuated with a sequined applique. From the super low "V" neckline to the sheer "cut-out" sleeves, this gown is pure heaven. This dress is also materials enabled. Unfortunately, I use the Firestorm viewer, so I can't show you what it looks like.Firestorm doesn't have this option yet. I think it is definitely time for me to download the SL viewer, so I can show-off all of the amazing effects of this new feature.

I paired this dress with these perfect "Pickford Heels" from Betty Doyle of Ingenue. They are designed to be worn with Slink's mesh bare feet (medium height) and come in nice array of yummy colors. I am always very impressed with Betty's shoes and I really adore that she creates shoes that are made for mesh feet!

This month's Collabor88 has lots of gorgeous jewelry. One of my favorite sets, is Gyorgyna Larnia's (of LaGyo) "Helen Collection"! Gyo really outdid herself, when creating these 'art deco' themed pieces. For this post, I am just wearing the her long 'Helen Necklace'. I will be posting the rest of this collection very soon. Each part of this necklace is color change via HUD. There are two color palates that you can choose from. Or you can just buy all the colors in one big HUD, which I highly recommend. All of the pieces in this collection can be fully customized like this necklace. 

The skin I am wearing is a Collabor88 exclusive from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. It is her stunning new 'Katya' skin. This skin is so lovely and is available in 7 different make-ups. Each make-up comes in the Jamaica or Europa skin tone too. 

My hair is yet another beautiful Collabor88 exclusive from Morphine Janick of [monso]. It is called "My Hair - Daisy" and I just love the uber chic cut of this hair. It is 'materials ready' too. My friend showed me a image of what this hair look liked with the materials option on and it is really incredible! It gives the hair so much more depth and shine. I was truly amazed. 

Speaking of Anniversary's, it is L’accessoires First Anniversary this month! All of the 19 designers, who are featured this month, really went all out for this celebration. Please keep in mind that all of the items are exclusive to this event  and are sold in limited quantities. If you like what you see, you better run and grab it! 

 L’accessoires has always been one of my favorite events in SL, especially since I have a serious accessories addiction. In the above image, I have on two L’accessoires event exclusives. I am wearing a gorgeous "Pensamiento" headpiece that comes in 4 different colors from Neftisis Rhiadra of MiWardrobe. I also have on this fabulous "Minimal Bold Ring" from NyuNyu Kimono of Nyu. The ring has texture change script with 3 colors to choose from. 

OK, I think that covers almost everything. If I missed something, please forgive me, because I am brain dead. If it was not mentioned here, it will be listed in the credits. So with that said, RUN! TRY SOME DEMOS! BUY! Here are your LMs and credits:

I must be the slowest freaking blogger on EARTH! This is an ordinary post. In other words, it is not something that tests the limits of my capabilities.Well, except for the SL glitches. So, why did this post take me 3 days to finish? It makes no sense! Yes, I fuss with styling and trying to see what elements work and don't work. Then I try to find poses that compliment the outfit and scene without being too boring. However, unless I want to spend more time editing, I choose not to use poses that tend to be more interesting. Of course the next step is finding the right angle and making sure every prim (well mesh creation) is in its proper place. Windlight is always an important step too, since it sets the mood and highlights the image. And last but not least, the editing process... I don't know why I am telling you all this. I guess I feel inferior and frustrated, since I see other bloggers complete this whole process quickly, efficiently and much prettier than I do. LOL! So, suffice it to say, I am tired today. I'll stop yapping and talk clothes.

This month's FaMESHed is sadly coming to an end. So please hurry-up and grab anything you may have missed. One such ensemble may include this adorably chic 'Bold Bow Shirt' with sexy matching 'Hot Pants', which is from the uber talented NyuNyu Kimono of Nyu. These pieces are sold as separates and come in a ton of brilliant colors. This is one outfit that is just too amazing to miss. Go try on some demos ASAP!

Jin Elfan of Belgravia, just released these perfectly sleek 'Patent 120'heels'. They are configured to be worn with your Slink medium high mesh feet, which is another reason why I love them. The combination is perfect, especially with Slink's new 'avatar enhancement' system. The heels come in vast array of alluring colors. They also come in a spiked version too! Unfortunately, the Belgravia/Leverocci main store is not up at the moment, but you can grab them on Marketplace - the link is below. 

Speaking of Slink's new 'avatar enhancement' system, Izzie Button just released 'Sock Appliers' to go with it! They come in a lots of colors, neutrals (basics) and colors, and are applied via HUD. They are meant to be worn with Izzie's 'sheer tights'. As you can see, the look is phenomenal. I do hope Izzie releases more of these tights and socks (hint hint).

Glam Affair's long awaited 'Cleo' skin line is FINALLY here! Yay! Cleo is absolutely STUNNING! Plus, she comes with a zillion wear options! She comes in 12 beautiful make-ups and a 'clean' skin. She also comes in 6 gorgeous skin tones. Each make-up comes with a choice of 6 brow colors (black, dark brown, light brown, dark blonde, light blonde and red), which are embedded into the the skin. Now here are all the options (I think): 2 lash tattoos, a definition and skin pore tattoo, 3 freckle tattoos, 3 nose tattoos, 3 glossy lip tattoos, a no gloss lip tattoo and 5 brow shapes! I seriously can not imagine asking for or needing anything more! aida Ewing really did an amazing job and definitely listens to her customer's needs. Not to mention, caters to them too. You have to try on a demo NOW, so you can see what I am talking about!

Gia Pawpad, of "LoQ Hair" has been releasing the most fabulous new mesh hairstyles lately! I am in love with this new style called, "Beer". I also love the fact that she names all her hairstyles after drinks! Beer is so nicely rendered with yummy textures. I adore the side part and swept bang. The relaxed waves make this one smart style. This is another creation that you have to demo. Be sure to check out Gia's other new styles too!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, recently created this exclusive and divine 'Poppy headpiece' for the FINESMITH SUMMER BOUTIQUE! It is available with red, yellow or blue poppies and just 200L per hat. I don't  think I want to to ever to take it off. LOL!

If  you are curious about my decor, please stay tuned for my next post. The 'Garden Cafe Table & Chairs' are a 'RFL Home & Garden Expo' exclusive from Winter Thorn and FrankLee Anatra of {what next}. There are 7 sets to choose from at the Expo while it is open. By the way, the blue and green versions are 100% donation items for RFL! As always, Winter Thorn and FrankLee Anatra make the most lovely creations. They have an amazing eye for detail, which makes them some of my most beloved home decor creators. Trust me, you will want one set in every color! Plus, you must see all the other incredible items to be found here. This is one event you HAVE to go check-out!

A Day In The Garden

Wow! I've sooooo much stuff to talk about and I don't know where to start first! I guess I will start with this super cute and chic mesh 'flared skirt and floral top'. What makes this set even more special, is because it is a collaboration between two amazing designers, NyuNyu Kimono and Crystalny Resident. It is an event exclusive for Bees Through The Seasons, so you really do not want to miss out on this gorgeous set!
Now, I have been looking for the perfect excuse to wear this fabulous hair and hat style, called "Sabine", which was created by the uber talented Tabata Jewell of Vanity Hair  This style has such a elegant and retro feel, so I really wanted to wear the perfect outfit with it. The hat is texture-change, which definitely helps. Well, my outfit may not be that vintage, but 'Sabine' definitely added some extra glamour and class to my look. I really don't think that I mention enough just how amazing Tabata's hair styles are. Her beautifully crafted hairs cater to so many different styles. From looks that are couture, rebellious, retro or just plain glamorous, Vanity Hair is one place you absolutely must take the time to check out!
Speaking of vintage and retro and style, Winter Thorn of {what next}, designed this incredible 'Garden Cafe Caravan' for The Garden event! I cant think of anything it does not do! Not only does it have this amazing 50's look to it that is all mesh, but it has a tons of animations, cook wear, tasty bits to nibble on and refreshing drinks too. The caravan is also texture-change! If you are looking for anything to cheer-up your home or just a cute gossip nook, this is the perfect center piece.
Izzie Button just recently came out with a gorgeous new skin called Holly. The skin is beautifully rendered with the cutest lips. And, as always, Izzie always gives you tons of options! Eye tattoos, lip tattoos  freckles and cleavage enhancers. Now, you can even purchase an applier HUD for your Slink mesh hands and feet from Izzie. She even sells additional mani and pedis for it too! The Slink avatar enhancement upgrade for their mesh hands and feet, has got to be one of favorite inventions of the year! No more fussing with trying to match skin tones! If you already own Slink mesh hands and feet, just go to the Slink re-delivery terminal and get your free upgrade. Now, if only all of my favorite skin makers created appliers for Slink hands and feet, then I will be in heaven....

I heard you never get wet in Spanish rain...

So, I am trying like mad to catch-up. LOL. I mean, what is new? As usual, for this cycle of FaMESHed there are soooooo many amazing creations to be found. I am wearing this uber cute striped dress from NyuNyu Kimono of Nyu. I love the chic simple lines that are decorated with horizontal stripes. NyuNyu's mesh and textures are always so lovely.

HANDverk also released these super sleek Shell Chairs. I think they definitely go with this mod theme that I am trying to achieve. I really adore HANDverk's originality and not to mention their extraordinary talent for creating mesh designs. So, please make sure you stop by the current cycle of FaMESHed and pick-up some awesome creations. 

Oh! I almost forgot to add that Izzie Button has just released another gorgeous new skin, called "Harlow" (hmmm...I wonder who that is named after?). As usual, Izzie's skin is flawless and beautiful. You get so many tattoo options with each base skin tone, which include: make-up layers, cleavage layers, freckle options and gloves for her prim nails. I am sure I forgot something, since Izzie always thinks of EVERYTHING! Plus, her skin is very inexpensive for all the options you get and also the amazing quality. With that said, here are your LMs:
