C88 June featuring U.F.O. part 2

This was actually supposed to be all in one post, but I realized that forgot to put both items in the original. So here goes.... I mentioned in a previous post just how much I loved Charming Meiler's of ::{u.f.o}::., Collabor88 exclusives. In the last post I featured her her super cute Sailor Boyish Outfit. So for this post, I am wearing her cool and casual Neck Ruffle Maxi Dress.

June's Collabor88 features so many incredible items this round, so please make sure you hurry-up and grab them before the round ends on the 8th!

I also wanted to mention real quick, some beautiful new releases across the grid. Hart Larsson of [PXL Creations] just released a stunning Limited Edition of his new upcoming MIA skin for Rhapsody. MIA comes in 4 beautiful make-ups and and 4 lovely skins tones (PALE, NAT, SK and OLIVE). She also comes with a ton of options, which include:

• 3 lips glosses (on tattoo layer)

So please make sure you run over to Rhapsody and check MIA out NOW!

The uber talented Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, just releases an INCREDIBLE new collection called, NYMPH. It is a full mainstore Summer releases, which is made up of wonderful organic textures and natures inspired headpieces, masks and necklaces. If you are fan of Gyo's innovative headpieces and have been waiting for more (like me), then your prayers have been answered! You simply have to see this awe inspiring collection! For this post, I am wearing her stunning Avernal Headpiece and Nymph Necklace. I especially love this perfectly wrapped amethyst stone, which she created for this Nymph Necklace.

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:

This post is running late, which I apologize for. I wanted to post a close-up shot, but it looked terrible. So I just have these two shots for this post, since I wanted to get it up before the February cycle of Collabor88 ends.
This unbelievable outfit is from the uber talented is from Harry Hyx of ISON. I adore the minimal and sleek lines of both the jacket and bottoms.

This nicely stuctured Nova Tribe Jacket top is accented with a flared bottom. When you turn around, there is sexy open back. I wish I could think of the words to describe this exactly, but my brain is not functioning properly as of late (LOL). I blame it on my Smart Phone, which actually makes me too lazy to think. The Nova Zipper Pants are made of a sumptuous leather texture with zippers going all the way down the sides.

The brilliant candy colored hair, which is called Lady Stardust, is from one of my favorite virtual hair stylist, Bubbles Clawtooth. I love the generous waves and sexy side-swept do. Please note that I did photoshop the hair a bit in these pics, since the poses chopped off parts of it. 

The stunning skin is from the talented Shyla Diggs of -Belleza-. It is one of three Mimi skin exclusives for the Whore Couture Fair. Mimi is definitely one of my favorite -Belleza- skins to date, so I was super excited to see that Shyla released more make-ups for this event. Please make sure go an demo it ASAP!

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:

Boheme

SHOETOPIA is more more than half way over now, so I better pick-up my speed. LOL! So here is one of the sponsors of SHOETOPIA, Davidfre Resident of Just Design. He created these amazing Boheme thigh high boots! One of the major high points of these boots are all the options that they come with. Each part of these boots are completely texture change via HUD. Here are just a few of the areas that you can change the color/texture of: the front of the boot, the back of the boot, the heel, the platform, the sole and even the metals.

There is even a sock option. If you notice in the above pic, you can see the top of a sock above the shoe, which is also color change. You can choose a whole sock options, so the bare part of the shoe is now covered by a color changeable sock. This is definitely nice for the colder months ahead.

I really like the metal clasp detailing on the back of the boot, as well as the different suede and leather textures. So, what are you waiting for? Make sure you get down to SHOPETOPIA and try these on ASAP! Just Design also came out with a new line of mesh bare feet, which I will show you soon and is also available at SHOETOPIA.
Oh! Btw, all the decor in this post can be found at this month's Collabor88.The theme is industrial and all the items are incredible. All the designers really have outdone themselves, so this is one cycle you MUST see. So with that said, here are your LMs:

Last Day For July Collabor88!

When I think of the typical cottage in SL, I envision a small and cozy one bedroom home. So, when I went to go rez this 'lakeside cottage' from Barnesworth Anubis, I did not expect much different. To my surprise, this gorgeous 'lakeside cottage' is anything but small and cozy. It is HUGE! It is has 3 roomy bedrooms, cathedral ceilings, a stunning living room and tons of windows that bathe the home in light! I actually ran out of prims, before I could fully decorate this home. But then again, my homestead never has enough prims. This 'lakeside cottage' is a July Collabor88 exclusive, so you will want to run an grab it before it is gone at 11:59 pm today!

I chose to decorate the living room with a beautiful 'deconstructed living room' set from Cheeky Pea. I also used recent releases from {what next} as well. These are obviously two of my favorite home decor designers in SL. 

I also had some items left over from 'The Home Show' (which is sadly now over) created by !! Follow US !! and ~BAZAR~, which I had not gotten a chance to blog yet....

I wanted to save the best for last.... The bedroom! All of the furniture and decorations are from warehousefifteendesigns Resident of Apple Fall and are July Collabor88 exclusives! The details are so lovely and charming. I am in seriously in LOVE with this whole set!

So with that said, run to Collabor88! Here are the credits and LM:

The Home Show Is Here!

There are a lot of events that are going on this Summer. One of my favorite types of events involve home and garden creations. So, suffice it to say, I am really excited to be a part of this year's Home Show. The Home Show's awesome organizer, Valena Vacano, managed to put together two beautiful sims full of SL's best home/garden decor builders and designers. There are so many fabulous event exclusives that I had no clue to where to start! I decided on the garden. I had fallen in love with this adorable and beautifully made, 'Garden Daybed' from Tegan Serin of floorplan. They come in several colors/patterns choices, as well as having a ton of great animations to choose from. I added some shabby chicness to the mix with Cory Edo's, of Trompe Loeil, 'Pallet Chairs'. They come in 3 different style options - regular, with pillow and with a blanket. I needed a table, so I used this 'Deconstructed Coffee Table' from Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea. This coffee table is gorgeous and has so many amazing little details too. Be sure to see to more of it. LOL.

I could not help but show-off this brilliant 'Mesh Garden Shed' from Heavenly Villa of L'aize Dayz. Her eye for detail is extraordinary.The structure is simple, pretty and the perfect addition to any garden (just like all the other items in these images). So, you must get over to The Home Show now and pick-up of some of these delightful finds. For more info regarding The Home Show's, please check-out the blog here: Home Show

Since I have had a crazy week, I decided to sneak a quick LOTD into this post too. I have been wanting to post this lovely 'Boat Set' from Marry Lemur of Overhigh. I think this is definitely the quintessential short set for Summer. Marry has been releasing tons of wonderful new creations lately, so be sure to stop by her store and check it all out.

The stunning skin I am wearing, is the soon-to-be-released 'Jade' skin from Hart Larsson of [PXL Creations]. 'Jade' definitely represents a new generations of skins for [PXL]. There are major changes in this skin's shading and features, especially the lips (which I LOVE). Please stay tuned for a full release within the next couple of weeks! 

This 'Pig Tail' styled hair from Kavar Cleanslate of Exile, is just too cute for words! It is not a new release, but a fairly recent release that I have been waiting for a chance to blog. So, be sure to TP over to Exile and try on Kavar's new styles. You will be really like his new HUD hair coloring system too. There are so many options to choose from now!

Oh! I almost forgot! This beautiful jewelry set is called "Aphrodite's Dream" and has a wonderful bohemian look. It is from Maxi Gossamer and is FaMESHed exclusive this month! So, with that said here are your credits and LMs:
