Intergalactic!

I really need to make this post as short as possible. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and it is killing me! LOL!
The February round of Collabor88 is literally out of this world! As I mentioned in a previous a post, all the designer's did such an amazing job with this "Supernova" theme.
One of my favorite pieces is this Mirte Structural Dress from Hervé Faenzo of Faenzo. This super sexy dress has the most incredible geometrical cutouts that are in all the right places. The slinky texture is even more fabulous and moves beautifully with your avatar. This is definitely one dress you simply must demo ASAP!

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo collaborated with Faenzo for February's Collabor88 and created this fabulous Mirte necklace, bangle and earrings. The gorgeous bold style works perfectly with the Mirte Structural Dress or any outfit that calls for an amazing statement piece. It comes in gold, black, silver and bronze metals. There is also a matching mask and mesh back tattoo!

Another round of The Arcade just started and obviously there are a ton of 'must have' items that you will want to win! One of these items, is this gorgeous hair from Bubbles Clawtooth of Clawtooth. It is called Fancy Free and I absolutely adore it! Bubbles has been creating the most beautiful styles lately and this is yet another style that he went all out on.
Last and certainly not least, Hart Larsson of PXL Creations created this stunning JADE "Love Edition" skin. This skin is a gift for PXL VIP Group members, so make sure you run and grab it! If you are not already in the VIP Group then you really should join. There is an initial join fee of 250L, but it is well worth it. Group membership allows you to use the VIP room teleport, as well as receive the following VIP group benefits: 10% extra discount on any purchase (where applicable), access to special releases (limited time) and also exclusive VIP sales!

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:

Skin Fair Review Part One

There are so many wonderful skins to be found at 'Skin Fair 2013'. So, I figured I would do it in 'Portrait Styled' sections. For this post, I decided to feature the gorgeous new skin, Mya, from Tricky Boucher of -Belleza- . Mya is available in 5 gorgeous skin tones and 10 stunning make-ups. She comes with blond, dark and red brows, which are embedded into the skin. In addition, Mya comes with 7 optional lip tattoo layers, a cleavage layer (tattoo and shirt) and also a hair base tattoo (blonde, dark and red). It is obvious that Tricky worked hard to bring a different look to this skin. The shading and skin definition is superb. I also noticed a change in lips shape, which is also quite beautiful too.
 I also decided to feature rebeca Dembo's, of CandyDoll, latest Skin Fair creation, called Hanna. Hanna comes in 4 lovely skin tones. Each tone comes with a hair base, teeth option and cleavage option that is embedded into the skin. Hanna also comes with 4 freckle tattoo layers.The freckles are an especially nice bonus and are beautifully rendered too! I really love the fresh faced skin and perfectly defined lips that Hanna has to offer.
I strongly urge you to check-out the demos of all the skins I mentioned. You definitely will not be disappointed! Here are your LMs:

Crazy About 'Katya'

After Lara Hurley released 'Odette', I honestly did know how she could top that. However, being the skin rendering genius that she is, Lara managed to out do herself with her latest release, called 'Katya'. This was supposed to be posted over a week ago, but as most of you know by now, I have been quite ill and was even hospitalized. So, I really hope you all forgive me for my tardiness.
Lara mixed perfectly defined eyes, which were shaded in lovely metallic and smokey shadows, with perfectly pouty glossy lips. To die for! The face is sweet and fresh. The body, as usual, is done with expert precision, rendering the perfect amount of muscle tone with soft definition. What I love most about this collection are all the options! She gives us 10 eye shadow layers, 9 lips gloss layers and a cleavage layer. She also gives us hairbase option too. Unfortunately, Kirsten'sViewer doesn't allow multiple tattoo layers, so I couldn't mix up several tatt layers at once to show you. But, at least I can wear that extra glossy layer for the lips, which I am in LOVE with! Lara created these pouty  layers with just the right amount of color and shine. I have not been able to take 'Katya' off yet! I am definitely in LOVE. So, maybe you should see for this for yourself. Lara gives you so many extra tatt layers and the color combinations are literally endless! I did my best to present them and give you an idea how they look with my one tatt layer :(  I know you will dying to try on a demo, so I sent you a limo to Lara Hurley: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Magic%20Valley/198/199/23

And I feel myself a cog in something turning...

Is there anything better than finding the perfect 'little black dress'? Well, I have found one and it comes in a few other amazing colors too. This sexy little numbah, is from one of my favorite designers, Milla Michinaga of MichaMi. It seems like I am blogging a lot of pre-Fall items lately, so this fits perfectly with the theme. The long sleeves, short hemline and body-hugging fit are fabulous. I definitely recommend taking a trip over to MichaMi and checking-out all of Milla's brilliant desigens. In fact, I sent you a limo to MichaMi: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lo%20Lo/41/145/24
I am also showing off Truth Hawk's latest release, called Claudia. It may have been his only release for the week, but Claudia is 'to-die-for! I am in love with short tousled waves.

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child...

What better way is there to celebrate the end of Summer, but by wearing this fabulous 'KAPADA' dress from Applonia Criss's 'Pre-Fall Collection' at CHANTKARE? I was literally in awe over Applonia's amazing use of 'thick linen' textures and 'muted' colors. Her adept use of sculpts, which also move so well with my avi, make this one perfectly stunning dress! Is there no wonder why Applonia is one my FAVORITE designers in SL? I really can't say much more, except that you MUST get this dress! Or one of Applonia's other amazing creations from CHANTKARE: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tabula%20rasa/136/218/27
I am also wearing this fabulous skin from Alexandra Barcelos of :Filthy Skins:. What makes it extra nice is that it is also the 'August Group Gift'. This skin has such a realistic look and gorgeous freckles to top it all off. I highly suggest joining 'Filthy's' group, since there are lovely group gifts released each month. Definitely worth it!

There was so much space I cut me a piece with some fine wine..

I am a bit tired at the moment, becuase I spent hours editing these pics and I am not that happy with them.*laughs* If I had I time, I would do these over, but I don't. So, please forgive my over-worked look. However, the clothes definitely outshine my pics. Mimikri Kit's creations have the ability to bring style and general fabulousity to any pic. The first two pieces that I have for you are meant to be worn together. However, you can wear them separately too. They are sold as separates as well, but I figured I would feature them in one style, since they are Mimikri's latest release. These lovely creations would also be known as the ' Luca Dress in avocado & LucaPython Jacket in camouflage'. They come in a ton of other amazing colors as well. It's almost impossible to pick a favorite. I am also showing a creation that is absolutely gorgeous, but not a recent release. I really felt this deserved to be posted, since I absolutely adore it and it also has the same texturing as the first outfit. This piece is called the 'Tahnee Suede top and skirt in cognac'.
Mimikri's creations are so well rendered and truly classic pieces that will add instant style to any girl's inventory. I love her use of texture and muted tones, mixed with perfectly sculpted prims These are just a few of the reasons why Mimikri is one of SL's best designers. Anyway, enough of my babbling, so you can get down to her store NOW! Here is your limo to *Mimikri Hot Couture*: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mimikri/125/129/22

The Much Anticipated 'Amelie'

Whew! I think this may have been my longest post ever! Well, from start to finish I mean. *LOL* I am so in LOVE with the latest skin from -Glam Affiar-, aka 'Amelie', that I wanted to create the best possible pics as humanly possible. This human, as in me... Becuase, I know there are so many artists in SL, who are way more talented than I am. So, lets just say that I fussed A LOT!  I hope you like what you see. To be perfectly honest, the more I played around, the more I became infatuated with this skin! Aida Ewing is a such a gifted skin maker. I can't get over how luminous and perfectly shaded all the skin tones are. The facial features are created to make any shape gorgeous! Plus, you have got to love the make-up palette Aida used for this line. She grabbed shades from this seasons most popular colors trends. This would include: turquoise, amethyst, orange and even yellow. Somehow, Aida makes these brilliant colors work! They are the most lovely make-ups of this Summer. Now, I shouldn't even have to go on about the body, becuase it is so obviously beautiful! However, Aida hit nail on head with 'Amelie's' adeptly rendered neckline, stomach and legs. Absolutely STUNNING!
'Amelie' comes in 12 fabulous make-ups and also a 'clean' face. She comes in 5 luscious skin tones. You have a choice of 2 brow and hairbase options. Plus, you get 5 different brow shapes to choose from as well. You HAVE to go try a demo NOW! Here is your limo to -Glam Affair-: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beauty%20Avatar%20couture/163/134/24
