Christmas 2010 at The Plastik

I need to be honest about the fact that I have been fussing over this post for awhile now. Aikea Rieko's designs are always so amazing that I just want to pay due homage with my photos. Now it's the morning of Christmas Eve and I just finally finished my editing after much deliberation, and I can't even upload to blogspot or Flickr! So, I do apologize for my tardy post and a few more that are on their way. I really got hit this Holiday Season with a lot of RL stuff, so my workflow definitely suffered. Anyway, enough whining already....
Aikea put out one incredible collection for Christmas. She basically did a Holiday variation of every item in her store! And not just clothes, all her skins as well! I am always awe struck after trying on her latest hand drawn textures. They are truly a work of art in their own right. I literally could go on and on about how talented Aikea is and how gorgeous her designs are, but pictures do speak a thousand words. So, if you haven't picked-up any of her clothes or skins for the Holiday (even if it is last minute), I suggest you go now! Many of these pieces, especially the skins, could be worn all year round. Here is the limo to The Plastik

Happy Holidays from Action! - No More Mrs. Clause?!

Now, I know this isn't my usual style, but for some reason, I can never pass-up MarilynMonore's awesome designs and styling. I don't know about you, but I am going to freak-out if I see one more female avi sporting another uber slutty 'Mrs. Claus' outfit! Everywhere I go, since the day after Thanksgiving, I see this look on tons of avis. Okay, it is the Holiday Season and a time to throw caution to the wind and enjoy ourselves. However, it doesn't mean I can't get sick of seeing it. *LOL* Anyway, MarilynMonore's 'Womens Action Xmas 2010' ensemble is the perfect answer to those who want something a bit different. This outfit includes everything I am wearing, except my skin, and costs just 300L. This is definitely a fun and funky outfit that is sure to chase away the 'Holiday Blues'. But, I would not recommend going shopping in it. Don't get me wrong, I am the last person who would be considered a prude, but some things should be left at your SIM.







I hope you can notice those fabulous 'Frozen Oak Trees' in the background. These are from Action as well. They are also know as the 'Action Multi Colour Frozen Oak'. They come in 3 sizes and have a customizable menu with 7 color options (I'm obviously rockin the pink) and 3 glow levels. These are definitely a gorgeous alternative to the usual 'evergreen'.
Now, I know you couldn't miss the 'Hikari' hair that I am wearing in the above pics. This style is super cute and perfect for spicing up your Holiday wardrobe. Yes, the lights are included and have fully customizable HUD, so you can change the light bulbs to whatever color you would like.


'Hikari' can be purchased in single color packs for $150L, 9 color packs for $275L or a fatpack (including 70 plus colors) for 1000L. So, what are you waiting for? Get down to Action now and check these out for yourself. Limo to Actionhttp://slurl.com/secondlife/Action%20Surf%20Sk8te/57/183/24

LOTD - 12.22.10 - Holiday Mix-up

Whew! This month went WAY too fast! I can't believe that it's only 2 days until Christmas. So, with the Holiday approaching, there are a TON of sales around the grid. My 'Look of The Day' is featuring a few of these sale items, as well a some fairly new favorites pieces of mine. I hope you like what you see and get a chance to check out some of these offers before they are gone....



Just so you know, the hair I am wearing (also known as 'Unbirthday Redux') is from !lamb and it is discounted in the mainstore along with another awesome style. The whole fatpack is only $150L. I am not sure what the color packs were priced at, but I am guessing approximately $50L. The clock pendant I am wearing, which is called the 'Time Goes By Necklace', is on sale at [glow] studio. Well,  actually the whole store is having a huge "end of the year SALE" with items marked up to 70% off!. They also have 6 items marked down to just $10L, but you have to click on the vendors to find them. Be sure to grab the new gift too. The sale is only on until the 24th of December, so you better hurry-up and get down there.


Oh, I almost forgot.... I am wearing the new 'Jadis' skin from - Glam Affair -. This exclusive gold make-up edition is a group gift that you can find in the notices. So, you need to grab it fast, since it will only be available for short time. Here are the LMs:

12.20.10 - LOTD Feat. **DP**YumYum

This time of year it is so easy to get caught up in blogging events, hunts and reviews. Don't get me wrong, I love doing that. However, it's always refreshing to do a 'Look Of The Day' featuring clothes that I randomly picked-out. As if I were rummaging through my own closet. 'LOTD's' usually reflect my own true style, which is pretty much the same in SL ans RL. Anyway, earlier today I found myself at **DP**YumYum checking out a hairstyle I saw blogged by Blur Mannequin that I absolutely adored! So, as usual, I never just get the item I want and tp out. I felt that 'inner shopaholic' pull me through the rest of store, spending way too many Lindens again.



**DP**yumyum simple long T(brown) & Leopard Tutu skirt

The funny thing is, I never even wore the hair that I initially bought.  I wanted to, but the hair was really long and I was trying to just snap some quick pics and I wasn't patient enough to find a pose that would work well with the hair and outfit I was wearing. I think that was 'run on' sentence. *lol* Yeah, I could have 'Photoshopped' the hair into place, but I was in 'quickie mode'.  Anyway, I hope you liked what I put together. Here is the limo to **DP**YumYum.

More Awesome Goodness from TRUTH!

Even with the Holidays right around the corner, Truth Hawks still manages to keep he is stride and create even more awesome styles. This week he released two gorgeous creations. First, and definitely my favorite, is 'Ramona'. I just adore her long curly tendrils and side swept bangs. Plus, to top if off, she has an adorable color change headband with 21 colors to choose from. 'Ramona' comes in a plain version and a streaked version with 63 color options!


 TRUTH Ramona - carob
 TRUTH Ramona Streaked - macaroon


Now, there is 'Quinn' and she is just as gorgeous. She has the classic '80's side-ponytail', but besides that, there is nothing retro about her. Her curly hair and whispy locks are truly captivating. And, if that isn't enough for you, she also has a super cute color change headband with 18 color choices. You can even opt to go without it and just have strand of hair secure the ponytail. As usual, 'Quinn' comes in a plain or streaked version with 63 color options. Definitely another WIN!


 TRUTH Quinn - sand
TRUTH Quinn Streaked - fudge


So, I know you just can't wait to try these demos, so I sent you a limo to TRUTH.

The Latest From .:: Ty Zvezda ::.

Alan Edison has always impressed me as a being a very unique designer. What makes her unique to me, is that she primarily uses sculpted prims as her base and whole design (i.e., no shirt, pant or jacket layers). The fact that Alan can sculpt her pieces with so much detail is truly amazing. The result is always stunning. So, with that said, I would like to show you two of Alan's latest releases. There is the 'CHERI' Skirt, which comes in 12 fabulous colors and 2 different size options. The colors are actually divided into  color groups of 3 that compliment each other very well.Then there is also the the 'Snood', which is basically a scarf, that comes in 4 colors. Now, this is the really cool thing about the 'Snood', each one is comprised of 3 colors that match the groups of the 3, which the 'CHERI' skirts come in. So, since I know you will be dying to check out Alan's designs for yourself, I sent you a limo to .: Ty Zvazda:.http://slurl.com/secondlife/ZI%20Ocean%20View/163/227/26
