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 Brow Colors (embedded into skin)
• 3 lips glosses (on tattoo layer)
• 3 Freckles (on tattoo layer)
• 3 Moles (on tattoo layer)
• 2 additional breast options (on tattoo and T-shirt layer)
• Nail Eraser (on glove 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. Please stay tuned for more amazing pieces from this collection. You can see the whole collection for yourself at the LaGyo Mainstore

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:

Down To Business

The March cycle of Collabor88 is coming to a close on the 7th, so you better hurry up and grab anything you may have missed. This is the perfect opportunity to pick-up sleek polished looks in shades of cream, black, red, navy and grey. One gorgeous look that you simply must not miss, is this Wifey Corset & Shirt and Mika High-Waisted Trousers from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice.

I really adore the polished silk textured blouse and bow, which is nicely cinched with a corset. Btw, the blouse and bow come with a texture change HUD, so you can color them to work with just about anything. 

Sissy also created these gorgeous Anna Pumps. I can never have enough 'Mary Jane' styled heels! The Anna Pumps also come with texture/color change HUD for the stocking. You can choose from a ton of different patterns and colors. 

The stunning skin that I wearing is another March Collabor88 exclusive from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. The skin is called, Sylvia (she created Sylvia in the America and Europa skin tones for February's cycle) and she is available in the Jamaica skin tone with a TON of mix and match options! Here is how it works, you receive a pack "clean" base skins in 8 different brow colors and a no brow option that are embedded into the skin. You can purchase the following the packs, so you can fully customize your look:

• 4 brow styles in 9 different colors (on tattoo)
• 3 basic lip options
• 8 eye make-ups
• 3 lip packs, which contain 8 different lipsticks
• 4 cheek styles
• 3 nose styles

The options are limitless! So make sure you demo this skin ASAP!

The super sleek tote that I am carrying in the above images is another March Collabor88 exclusive from from -Glam Affair- and comes in a ton of lovely colors.

The hair is called, Lolita and is from TRUTH. This adorable girly style can be found at Collabor88 too.

The Duchess necklace and earrings and from the talented Caelyn Hancroft of Cae. Each piece can be customized via HUD. You can choose form 2 metal options (silver and gold) and just about every gem color imaginable.

So with that said, here are my credits and LMs:

Back To Business!

I absolutely loved March's theme for Collabor88, which is called "Back To Business"! It is full of sleek and polished looks in tones of black, white, grey, red and blue.
It was love at first sight when I tried on this Liv Dress from by the talented Fashionboi Landar of Color.Me.H.O.F. This classic dress has a definite 'Breakfast at Tiffany's feel to it, which is a one staple that you simply MUST have in your wardrobe.

I could not resist paring the dress with this brilliant Jackie Bow Hat, which was created London Dailey or House Of London. This peal adorned hat is also a Collabor88 exclusive this month and comes in a bunch of beautiful colors!
These 'to-die for' Coco peep-toe heels from Davidfre Resident of JUST DESIGN. You can find these in tons of yummy colors at this month's Liaison Collaborative. Please keep in mind that these shoes were created to be worn with JUST DESIGN's My Feet bare feet in Tip Toe. I wrote a huge post about these beautifully rendered feet, which you can read about here: http://dementeddivas.blogspot.com/2013/11/just-designs-my-feet-at-shoetopia.html. So please make sure your run by the JUST DESIGN mainstore to pick these up too!

My favorite virtual jeweler, Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo, made this stunning Mackenzie necklace and ring. This set is also a Collabor88 exclusive and comes in 3 brilliant metals!

The Arcade is here again! This beautiful skin, called Aria, is and Arcade exclusive from aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-. Aria is not only unbelievably lovely, but comes with every option under sun. Of course you have to try your luck at winning all these options, but it is not as hard you may think. Here are all the options and how can you win them:

The Commons:

• 12 different make-ups (each one comes with a different nose, brow and lip style) in the Asia skin tone

The Rares (winning these will allow you the customize skin however you want):

• A 'Clean' Base Skin (Asia Skin Tone)
• 3 Lipstick Packages (Cupid, Cosmo and Vinta)
• 3 Noses
• 6 Eyeliners
• 5 Freckles and 3 Moles
• A Pack of Extras (3 Lashes, 5 Lip Glosses, 2 Eye Circles, 3 Face Highlights)

This is such an amazing skin and the options are incredible, so please make sure you try your luck!

Last, but definitely not least, Truth Hawks made this lovely hair style, which is called Perla.

I don't think I can write anymore and I think you are probably tired of reading all of this by now (LOL), so I will just get on with the LMs and credits. Please forgive me if I forgot to mention anything:

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Have I told you just how much I love this round of Collabor88? I think I have, but I just can't get over how amazing it is, so I will  tell you again. Not only is the theme brilliant, but all of the designers really outdid themselves. I wish I could blog everything, but it would take me way into the next round of Collabor88, since I am the slowest blogger on Earth. Just in case you do not know, the them is called, "Razzle Dazzle". It is inspired by the the 'Roaring '20s' and 'The Great Gatsby'. All of the items mentioned below are Collabor88 exclusives

For this post, I chose to wear this stunning "Claudette dress", from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice. I paired it a fabulous "Mink Princess Stole" from Sanya Bilavio of .: ryvolter :.. I have been searching for the perfect mink stole and now I have found it! 

I had a very difficult time choosing what jewelry to wear with my ensemble, since there are so many lovely pieces to be found at this month's Collabor88. I chose the very elegant and versatile, "Florentine Lover's" necklace and bracelet from Maxi Gossamer. I love the fact the both the jewels and the metals are all texture change, leaving me with a multitude of style options. 

One of my most delightful discoveries from this cycle of Collabor88, is from Nina Helix of .Birdy. Skins. I have just recently heard about her skins, but have not got around to trying them on until now. Her 'Aria Skin', which I wearing in these photos, is so lovely.I am impressed by her great eye for detail and beautifully rendered features. Not to mention her fresh and dewy skin tones. 'Aria' comes in 6 beautiful make-ups in the 'Pure' skin tone. Each make-up comes with 2 brow styles (thin and thick) in 4 different brow colors (which are embedded into the skin), 3 blush tattoos, several mole tattoo options, and 2 different make-up styles (dewy or regular). You really must demo this skin for yourself. 

The hair was another difficult choice, since there are a tons of wonderful hairstyles this round. I decided on Marisa Kira's (of "D!va Hair") "Layla" hair style. I love this short curly bob with wispy tendrils.

The "Alders Living Room" decor is from the uber talented Colleen Desmoulins of The Loft. This art deco inspired living room is to die for! 

I think I have almost everything covered. I am so tired, so please excuse my short descriptions. I doubt anyone reads what I write anyway. LOL. So, here are the credits and LM to Collabor88:
