Catching-up with Kae! Featuring October Collabor88!

It has obviously been awhile since my last post! And let me just say,  it was a little difficult getting started again. I felt like I had forgot everything! So I figured that the best way to kick things off, was to grab one my closest SL friends, who could provide me with extra encouragement and fun! The super talented Ms. Kaelyn Alecto served not only as great model, but also a cheerleader. Cheering me on, since I was lacking a little bit in confidence. She also served as a great source inspiration! 

The October Round of Collabor88 is absolutely amazing and so much fun! The theme is called, Motel Spoppy! Think of Bate's Motel, or any other classic and creepy vintage motel, in shades of navy, muted purples, green, steel blue and beige! So Kae and I did our best to show off just a few of these incredible event exclusives!

I absolutely fell in love with Maylee Oh's, of The Secret Store, Anita Empire Dress. I love the doll like style with a delicate lace trim on the sleeves and a super cute ribbon belt! Kaelyn is wearing this extremely adorable Darling Dress from Tres Blah, which is has a similar girly style to mine. 

Kae and I also wore a couple of awesome hair styles that can be found at this round of Collabor88. I am wearing Bubbles Clawtooth's brilliant Scream Queen do. I love the knife effect! Kae is wearing this seriously cute Pussycat (mask included) style from Lamb Bellic of lamb!

Please make sure you demo both of the dresses and hair at Collabor88 before the Oct cycle ends on November 6th!

Shyla Diggs of -Belleza- finally released the full line of her Grace skin! Yay!  I could not help but wear this fabulous new skin for my post. Plus, I am also wearing Belleza's beautiful new Venus Mesh Body! Well, I know it is not totally new, but it is new to me and I LOVE it! Please stay tuned for a full reviews on both Belleza's Grace skin and Venus Mesh Body!

So what are you waiting for? Make sure run down and grab these awesome Collabor88 exclusives before the round ends on November 6th!

Please make sure you also head on over to the -Belleza Mainstore- in order to demo their new Grace skin line and Venus Mesh Body!

With that said, here are your LMs and Credits:

Uber Awesome New Event!

Yes, there is yet another amazing event in SL, called Uber, which I am sure you have already heard about by now. This awesome new event, which is brought to you by the uber talented team of Kaelyn Alecto and Truth Hawks, features the best designers that SL has to offer. The first round's theme, which started on July 31s (each new round starts on 30th or 31st of each month and ends on the 28th), is 'Beach Party'. A fabulous theme to celebrate the end of Summer. As far as future themes go, you will see more unique and artistic subject matter. So suffice it to say, I am uber excited about Uber!

Btw, I know I am seriously behind due to fact that I was away in Italy and I just had to fix the keyboard/touchpad on my laptop. For this post, I am obviously featuring just a few of the brilliant Uber exclusives. This stunning Antara Maxi Dress, which was created by the super talented Zaara Kohime of Zaara, has to be one of my favorite items from this round of Uber. I love the silky texture and gorgeous design. I paired it with these fabulous Nereida Wedges from Euroda 3D. The wonderful thing abou these wedges, is that they come with texture change HUD, which allows you color each part of shoe! These wedges come in choice of 3 color stories, so come over to Uber and grab them!

There are also a bunch of lovely skins and obviously hair to be found at this round of Uber. Shyla Diggs of Belleza, created this gorgeous new Beth skin for the event. Beth comes in 6 brilliant make-ups in Pale and Sunkissed skin tones. Each make-up also comes with a gloss lip (on tattoo), matte lip (on tattoo) and 3 brow colors!
This fabulous windswept is hair is from Minami Susanowa of Tulip. This style is called, Bethany and is absolute MUST HAVE for your wardrobe, so please make sure go by Uber and demo it!
August Collabor88 is in full swing too! And, OMG, it is Fabulous! The theme is 'The Odyssey', so think of anything related to Greek Mythology and absolute splendor! I couldn't help but wear this beautiful new Metis Necklace and Earrings from Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo! The floral details are to die for! You absolutely must go an grab this set, as well as all her other amazing Collabor88 exclusives.Stay tuned for my full Collabor88 posts too!

Summer Time!

June's Collabor88 is another serious hit! All of the designers created "To The Lighthouse" themed items, in tones of steel blue, khaki, terracotta, beige and tan. All the light and sun washed shades that make you reminisce about past vacations at the ocean. I really LOVE this round! For this post, I wanted to create a laid back and casual feel with primarily Collabor88 exclusives, so here goes...

I am a huge fan of this relaxed Summer look from Sunami Beck of Emery. It is composed of beautifully made mesh separates, which include this-off shoulder Imogen Sweater that and coordinating Hailey Summer Shorts. Of course they can mixed match with other items, but I really liked both pieces together.

Isn't this hair AMAZING? It is the latest from Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth for Collabor88, called Under the Sea.The style is absolutely gorgeous and it comes with star fish accessory, which is texture-change. You have got to love that, especially since you match it to whatever outfit you are wearing. You can also choose not wear it at all!
The talented aida Ewing of  -Glam Affair-, created a stunning new skin for June's Collabor88, called Summer! Summer is soooooooo lovely and comes in 8 summer inspired make-ups and a choice of 4 skin tones. As always, there are 8 different brow shades to choose from that are embedded into the skin. There is also a pack of 16 lipsticks on tattoo layers, so please make sure you demo this skin ASAP!

Snow Martiel of :..:: BenS Beauty ::., created these beautiful and bold Florina Necklace and Earrings, They come with a texture-change script that allows you choose just about any color imaginable for the stones. You can also choose from gold, black and silver metals. So make sure you check this out at her mainstore!
Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, went all out again for June's Collabor88, by creating a ton of wonderful items!For this post I chose to wear her Whale Tail Necklace and Pirate Nose Earring! Both of these perfectly rendered items are available in gold and silver metals and are another Collabor88 MUST!

Oh! One more thing! Charming Meiler of ::{u.f.o}::  created these uber adorable Intro Run Slip On sneakers for The Mens Dept. I love the streamlined looked to these kicks, which can be worn with almost any casual attire. She made them in both a male and female versions that can be easily re-sized and edited to fit Slink and Just Design's bare flat feet (if you so choose). I chose to wear them sans mesh feet for once and they look great! So run and pick-up yourself up a pair in one of the many fabulous colors!

Can you see the cute anklet that I am wearing? It is another one of Caelyn Hancroft's amazing ankle bracelets. This is her Zodiac anklet and you can change your Zodiac sign via a HUD, as well as choosing from Gold and Silver metals! Another must have!

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:

PENUMBRA FASHION WEEK feat PRISM!

.PENUMBRA. SPRING/SUMMER FASHION WEEK 2014 has officially begun! If you do not already know this, .PENUMBRA. SPRING/SUMMER FASHION WEEK 2014, a very much anticipated one week event, takes the pioneer to display and express varied new styles in Second Life. The fashion fiesta, first and unique of its kind, is a contemporary platform envisioned and designed to unite established designers with designers who aspire being “BRANDS” of tomorrow.
.PENUMBRA. SPRING/SUMMER FASHION WEEK 2014, is envisioned to lead and promote designer’s aspirations and motivations to a Global Audience Arena is Second Life!
One of the first designers who really caught my eye, is Journey McLaglen of Prism!

I really love how Journey mixes her textures, as well as her use of sexy feminine lines. I think her Marilyn Sweater, which has a Missoni like print, mixed with her Herringbone Bamboo Marilyn Skirt, a prime example of her talent. Journey will definitely be one designer to watch and I highly suggest demoing all her work at the Penumba Retail Area.

I accessoried the outfit with both old and new items that I adore. I really felt the gorgeous green stones in this (Kunglers Extra) Vivienne Necklace really popped against the muted colors of my ensemble. I also chose these fabulous (Kunglers) Bracelets, which are a TDR Fusion exclusive right now!
I was looking for the perfect clutch to go with my outfit, so I went an old favorite from the super talented Jin Elfan of Leverocci, Unfortunately, the Leverocci inworld store is not closed. However, you can still her purchase her products on the marketplace for a very nice discount!
Sigifaust of ieQUED released a quick preview of her AMAZING new ChaCha Sandals in orange for Fifty Linden Friday. Please stay tuned for the full release!

Stepford Wife

I am absolutely in love with Maylee Oh's, of The Secret Store, 50's vintage inspired Betty Swing Dress. This stunning creation with it's perfectly rendered textures, is also a May Collabor88 exclusive this month. This dress, which comes in a beautiful array of patterns (floral, polka dots and stripes) and colors, can be worn and styled in so many different ways (especially since it comes with texture change HUD for the belt). So I decided to go with a more classic look that made me feel so elegant, beautiful and well...perfect...kind of like a 'Stepford' version of myself. LOL.

Anyway, Maylee has once again won me over with yet another gorgeous creation! You absolutely MUST demo this dress ASAP at Collabor88!
May's Collabor88 also has a ton of amazing accessories to go with all the fabulous clothes. I seriously adored this Frankie Purse from Natalee Oodles of Noodles. This beautiful purse goes so well with this dress too!
I also couldn't resist these fabulous Glossed Pumps from Hervé Faenzo. Like the purse and the dress, they are rendered to perfection and are a May Collabor88 exclusive!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo created the most stunning jewelry for this month's Collabor88. I know it is a bit hard to see in these pics, but I am wearing her Mary Necklace (with swallows and flowers) and Mary Flower Earrings. The necklace and earrings are available in 3 different metals (gold, silver and bronze) and the flowers come with a texture-change HUD. This makes matching a cinch! So please do your self a favor and check-out Gyo's whole Mary Collection at Collabor88.
Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth, didn't hold back either this month. He created this lovely retro-esque hair style, called A Little Lamb. It also comes with this texture change bow, which totally completes my look! This another MUST demo item.
I think I covered everything, I do apologize if I forgot to mention anything. Here are your LMs and Credits:

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!

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!
