It's My Nature

Harry Hyx of  ISON, just released a gorgeous new mini collection of Spring/Summer mesh separates. It it made up of smart button down collared shirts that are tucked-in; sleek pencil skirts with a sexy side slit; chic bomber vests and jackets; over-sized leather boho bags; and even a beautiful dagger necklace. Harry's mesh is always perfectly rendered with the amazing textures. I am always in awe of  he places his wrinkles too.I know this may sound like an odd thing to be amazed by, but proper placement of such details gives the content much more realism.

For this post, I chose to wear Harry's 'Tucked-In Shirt' in a light neutral tone. The shirt comes with a HUD that gives 3 tone variations for each color you choose to wear. There is dark, medium and light tone. I simply adore all these options, since it makes a styling a breeze. I paired the shirt with his rich leather 'Bomber Vest' in taupe and added a pair of the lovely 'Tulip Shorts' from {mon tissu}.



To accessorize my look, I decided to keep things simple. I added  ISON's new 'Dagger Necklace', which comes in 3 different metals and 3 different lengths. I also decided to wear his wonderful new 'Boho Bag'. I am a huge fan of well made over-sized totes in RL and SL, so this bag is just perfect! I had this uber cute 'Owl Bracelet' from erratic, which I kept forgetting to wear and finally remembered. LOL. I can't emphasize enough just how much I love the clean lines and modern (but still very feminine) look too all of Harry Hyx's designs. You simply must TP over to ISON , so you can check-out Harry's new collection and try on some demos!
IKON (aka Ikon Innovia) just released a new line of stunning eyes, called 'Vanity Eyes'. If you know me, then you know that I love all of IKON's eyes. I am not usually loyal to just one brand for anything, but IKON pretty much has me hooked on his eyes. The 'Vanity Eyes' come in a ton of brilliant colors. However, if you normally wear IKON eyes, you may want to go a size up with the 'Vanity Eyes'. The pupils and iris are a bit smaller than in his previous versions. So, this is just something you may want to keep in mind. Please do your yourself a favor and try on some demos!
Oh! I almost forgot! Thora Charron of LeLutka, just released new hair styles. I am wearing her new 'Scarlet' style for this post. The short angular cut is just perfect for the warmer weather! So, with that said, here are your LMs:

Last Day For April Cycle of Collabor88 feat. ISON, [PXL] and [glow] studios!

The end of the April cycle of Collabor88 is coming to close at 11:59 SLT on the 6th! This is the best time to grab those great items that you missed or never got a chance to see. For this post, I have three gorgeous creations you can find at Collabor88 and also a new release from Vanity Hair (NOT a Collabor88 release)
ISON (aka Harry Hyx) created this STUNNING 'Take Flight Body Con' dress as an April C88 exclusive. It comes with 3 wear options. You can wear it as sleek and simple mesh strapless dress. You can choose to wear it with a sheer sleeveless, or long sleeved, bird adorned top. It is available in lots of yummy colors too. ISON's outstanding mesh creations are items you never want to miss demoing!
Hart Larsson launched a preview of an upcoming new skin line, called "JADE", for the April cycle of C88. JADE is so beautiful and definitely my favorite [PXL] skin to date! JADE comes in 4 lovely make-ups and is available in the NAT(ural) skin tone. This is one skin you simply MUST demo!
Jocelyn Anatine, of [glow] studio, created some great 'kitschy' jewelry sets for April's C88. I chose to wear her 'Kitsch' necklace and bracelets for this post. I love gold chain links.
Tabata Jewell, of Vanity Hair, just released a gorgeous new hair style! It is called 'Ma Belle'.It is not a C88 exclusive, but I could not resist talking about this this demure up-do. It is the perfect style for any occasion and you need to go try a demo NOW.

Backyard Boho

Uff! Is it just me or is SL being a major pain in the butt this weekend? I heard it may be due to SL rolling out their server side baking. Unfortunately, I will not be able to experience this nifty new feature until the Firestorm or LL viewer makes it possible for me to shoot very large custom sized images. If you are photographer, who has upgraded to the latest Firestorm, I am sure you noticed the 'black rectangle' glitch with images above 4000 pixels. So, suffice it to say, I had to downgrade to my last Firestorm install. Small images with low quality is not an option. And I hate to say this, but what is the point of having all these amazing new photo tools, when you can't take decent picture? Regardless, I am excited about all the new advances, but I do hope they fix this issue soon.
My health still is on the mend, so I am also moving very slow. There are all these great releases and amazing things I want to post, but I am just not up to speed to show them yet. Please bear with me (Or is it "bare"? I always forget :/)

It is the first weekend of the month, which makes it Belleza's BEST BUY weekend! All weekend long (until 11:59pm SLT on Sunday), Belleza has 3 exclusive editions of Mya (created by the very talented Shyla Diggs) for the very nice price of 400L per skin! She is available in all skin tones, so definitely make sure you get over there now and DEMO them! Grab your men too, since Belleza also has 3 versions of Jonas for the Guys! They are also 400L per skin and come in all tones! Shyla Diggs did a seriously amazing job with each skin!

 -Belleza-  Mya Med BBB 3 by Shyla Diggs, :Exile::You've Got The Love:Cashmere by Kavar Cleanslate & Cae ::Alchemy:: Necklace by Caelan Hancroft 

If you read my last post, I went on about Kavar Cleanslate's (of Exile) amazing new hair releases that are HUD driven with 8 streaking options. I figured this new stunning long and curly style, called "You'e Got The Love", added a bit of boho romance to my look. You really need to go over to Exile and try on ALL of Kavar's new styles and check-out the new HUD's cool features as well.
If you notice in the background, I have picnic table, cooler, barbecue grill, lanterns and even some pennants! This is all part of 'Cassie's Backyard Barbecue' from uber creative Isla Galeach of Cheeky Pea! It is a FaMESHed exclusive too! The picnic table seats 4 avatars and has 9 animations! Not to mention, the table is covered with tons of food and condiments. Despite all the amazing details, Isla manages to keep the LI is fairly small. Plus, the food items are not linked, so you can take away or add, depending on your prim availability. I need to invite some friends over for the Barbecue, so I can show you all the amazing options! There is also an awesome blow-up swimming pool with 25 animations, which I have to show you! So, please stay tuned...

Light!

I am so sick of feeling crappy and am hoping for a speedy recovery. I figured I would start with a relatively easy post that just contained one image. However, nothing is ever fast or easy with me. LOL!, I tend to unnecessarily fuss over stupid things. I had this fabulous mesh 'Giant Dish Hat' that was created by Amberly Boccaccio of -Glam Affair-. In comes in a ton of stunning colors and is available at the L'Accessories event.
Speaking of -Glam Affair- goodness, I am wearing the beautiful new Margot skin, which was created by aida Ewing. It is a Collabor88 exclusive and comes in a choice 6 gorgeous make-ups, a ton of brow colors and also a 'clean' make-up option (which I am wearing). All the make-ups come in the America tone. It is not too dark and not too pale, so it should be a perfect skin tone for most. I really hope aida decides to create a whole line of this lovely skin. I was hoping to get this post up last night, before the Cosmetics Fair was over, but I failed :(. I chose to wear one of aida's amazing Margot full make-up tattoo's from this event for this post. However, you never know, she may decide to sell them in the -Glam Affair-  mainstore.
FINALLY! After much waiting, Kavar Cleanslate of Exile, just released a bunch of new hairstyles! This was a LONG awaited release and now we know why it took so long! It seems that Kavar was working on a new HUD system for his hair! There is a HUD for each color set (ie, dark blondes) and for each hair color (ie, Hollywood), there are 8 streaking options. You simply must try on a demo and see all the fabulous looks that you can create. I am wearing the gorgeous 'Desperately Wanting' hairstyle in the below image. However, due to the pose and camera angle, I was not able to show it off in a nice way. I ended up altering it with a ton of brushes in Photoshop, in order to give it a finished look. Especially since my glitchy avi was obstructing it's lovely flow. I will have to wear it in another image to show you just how awesome it is. In the meantime, you probably should just go try on demo and check-out all the great new releases!
Oh! I hope you can see the beautiful 'Perky Bowkerchief' from Aranel Ah of *BOOM*. It comes in every yummy color imaginable. There are 2 short styles, 2 long styles and 3 attachments points. It is indeed the perfect accessory to dress-up any outfit or no outfit at all, like below.
So, here are your LMs and I am going to collapse:

A Day In The Garden

Wow! I've sooooo much stuff to talk about and I don't know where to start first! I guess I will start with this super cute and chic mesh 'flared skirt and floral top'. What makes this set even more special, is because it is a collaboration between two amazing designers, NyuNyu Kimono and Crystalny Resident. It is an event exclusive for Bees Through The Seasons, so you really do not want to miss out on this gorgeous set!
Now, I have been looking for the perfect excuse to wear this fabulous hair and hat style, called "Sabine", which was created by the uber talented Tabata Jewell of Vanity Hair  This style has such a elegant and retro feel, so I really wanted to wear the perfect outfit with it. The hat is texture-change, which definitely helps. Well, my outfit may not be that vintage, but 'Sabine' definitely added some extra glamour and class to my look. I really don't think that I mention enough just how amazing Tabata's hair styles are. Her beautifully crafted hairs cater to so many different styles. From looks that are couture, rebellious, retro or just plain glamorous, Vanity Hair is one place you absolutely must take the time to check out!
Speaking of vintage and retro and style, Winter Thorn of {what next}, designed this incredible 'Garden Cafe Caravan' for The Garden event! I cant think of anything it does not do! Not only does it have this amazing 50's look to it that is all mesh, but it has a tons of animations, cook wear, tasty bits to nibble on and refreshing drinks too. The caravan is also texture-change! If you are looking for anything to cheer-up your home or just a cute gossip nook, this is the perfect center piece.
Izzie Button just recently came out with a gorgeous new skin called Holly. The skin is beautifully rendered with the cutest lips. And, as always, Izzie always gives you tons of options! Eye tattoos, lip tattoos  freckles and cleavage enhancers. Now, you can even purchase an applier HUD for your Slink mesh hands and feet from Izzie. She even sells additional mani and pedis for it too! The Slink avatar enhancement upgrade for their mesh hands and feet, has got to be one of favorite inventions of the year! No more fussing with trying to match skin tones! If you already own Slink mesh hands and feet, just go to the Slink re-delivery terminal and get your free upgrade. Now, if only all of my favorite skin makers created appliers for Slink hands and feet, then I will be in heaven....

Alice In The Garden

The Garden, which is another awesome event from The Liaison Collaborative, is officially here! And if you are a 'Home Decor' addict like myself, or just simply want to update your home, this is one event you do NOT want miss! One of my favorite sets that you can find at The Garden, is this amazing mesh 'Alice Garden Set' from Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea. Her charming shabby chic style is always beautifully rendered. The set is made up of an unbelievably well detailed hammock, which comes with a TON of poses and props via script. There is also a beautiful pergola, which is adorned with string lights (unfortunately, you can not see it in these pics :/) To add some added lounge-y comfort, there are texture change pillows that you can copy and place to your liking. And, if that is not enough, there are also a bunch of garden games included. There is a croquet set, lawn darts and even horse shoes! So, please do yourself a favor and check out this set at The Garden. Plus, you will see many other fabulous creations there as well.
For such a relaxing day, I chose this yummy crocheted 'Flirtini Dress' from Kallisto Destiny of DRIFT. I have been dying to post this fabulous dress for some time now. It the perfect wardrobe staple to bring you right into summer. The texture of this rigged mesh dress is so well done. Because of this dress's crocheted texture, there are some areas where skin pokes through. So, in order to give this dress a very realistic look, Kalli created it to go with several skin tones! The dress also comes with a texture change HUD, so you have many color options to choose from as well. If you love chic, casual and sexy clothes, DRIFT has it all! Please make sure you stop by and try on some demos!
There are so many events going on right now, so it can be hard to keep track of all them. One of these events, which I am sure that you do NOT want to miss, is the Cosmetics Fair! aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-, just released a bunch of full makeup tattoos, for her latest Margot skin! You can find the actual -Glam Affair- Margot skin in 6 lovely make-ups, as well as a bare skin, at this cycle of Collabor88. It comes in the 'America' skin tone and goes perfectly with the 'Margot Makeups' that are available at the Cosmetics Fair. Margot is one skin that suits just about any shape! I encourage you to grab a demo of Glam Affair's Margot skin at Collabor88 and then TP on over to the Cosmetics Fair and try on Glam Affair's 'Margot Makeups'. You will fall in love!
Oh! I almost forgot! M4ril1n Magic of  ~Tableau Vivant~, just released a line of STUNNING new eyes! They are called 'Galaxy Eyes' and come in several enchanting colors. They also come with 2 wear options - system layer and a mesh attachments. Of course they look outstanding with the mesh attachments mixed with  their necessary system layer. However, if you wish to forgo the mesh, and wear just the system layer, they look just as great! I am very picky about eyes and rarely am separated from my beloved IKON eyes, but these new 'Galaxy Eyes' were just too gorgeous to pass up! Go try on demo now! These are absolutely dreamy.

Leaves of Grass

Lots a great new stuff to talk about! First, Winter Thorn of {what next}, just released this charming 'Poet's Bench'. It is the perfect piece of outdoor furniture for your Spring home. It has seven different texture options and tons of poses!

Maylee Oh, of The Secret Store, just came out with this super cute mesh 'Lua's Cropped Shirt'. It comes in a ton of yummy colors and is definitely a wardrobe must!

I also had been meaning to blog these awesome 'Cross Shorts', from Marry Lemur of Overhigh. I simply adore these shorts and they go well with any casual look.
The gorgeous skin I am wearing is from the new FULL RELEASE of Belleza's Mya skin. I know most of you got a sneak peek of it at the Skin Fair. But let me tell you, the full line is simply stunning. It comes with a 11 base make-ups, which are embedded in the skin. There are also 3 brow options (red, blonde and dark) that also come embedded in the skin. Then, of course, there is an optional lip pack with 8 gloss lipstick tattoos and 9 matte lipstick tattoos! If you buy the whole skin pack, it is included.You simple MUST try on a demo now! Shyla Diggs did an outstanding job with this new skin!

Oh! I almost forgot! I am sure you can't help but notice these fabulous flip-flops. They are actually the flat mesh 'BAREFEET' from N-core. These 'BAREFEET' come with a Sandal (Flip-Flop) option via HUD. They also have additional HUDs that you can buy with other colors/ textures for the sandals (flip-flip)!

So, with that said, here are your LMs:

A Hippo Named Wanda

I know, cheesy title! But, I could not resist. Gyorgyna Larnia created the most incredible jewelry set for the April cycle of Collabor88. It has a bit of quirky tribal feel and is adorned with a large hippo. This may sound strange, but it is absolutely fabulous. Each part of the necklace, earrings and ring (which is available at TDR FUSION) are all texture change via HUD. They come in a choice of gold and silver metals too. You need to TP over to Collabor88 , so you can see the whole LaGyo collection! It also includes amazing belts and headpieces in funky colors too!
I am also wearing this gorgeous ArianaCutout dress from Fleshtone. It is a Limited Bazaar exclusive, so I am not sure if it is still available. But it is definitely worth checking-out! Stevenzuuh Gossipgirl really created an outstanding dress that I absolutely adore. I hope he decides to release it more colors.
[PXL Creations] finally released the full line of his beautiful Sophia skin! It was definitely well worth the wait! Sophia is absolutely stunning! Hart Larsson created the most perfect face and body! She comes in 8 gorgeous skin tones and 30 new and updated make-ups, which you can mix and match.You absolutely MUST try on a demo NOW!
Oh! I almost forgot! Baiastice  which was closed for SIM renovations, is open again! The new build is AMAZING! Not to mention, Sissy Pessoa has a ton of new releases to go with the new build as well. You simply must go and check it out. I took the following pics below at the new build, so you can kind of see what I am talking about.
