Mmm Ice Cream!

Just a few pics showing off this adorable outfit I snagged compliments of the Ice Cream Spring Hunt which ends tomorrow. This hunt is inspired by one of my favorite summer treats and since it's about 90 degrees out here, I thought I'd get some ice cream Second Life style.

This outfit is the prize at Esther Jen. It's a romantic lace mauve top that falls off the shoulders and paired with a pair of super fun jeans that have designs of ice cream on them! So cute! I know you really can't see the design but the outfit totally fits my fun style. There is also an ice cream bra and panties set to wear under it.

I'm showing off this outfit with some yummy ice cream cone props courtesy of look.sharp and Mississippi Murder. The one from look.sharp comes with a fantastic couple pose to have an ice cream fight with but since I didn't have any friends on at the time I took these pics, I'm not showing it. And the cone from Mississippi Murder comes with a messy faced skin that shows what happens when you enjoy your summer treats too much.

I finished this look off with some awesome poses from !bang that were yesterday's Super Bargain Saturday special ( I'm not sure if they are still at the discount price) and one of my favorite Filthy skins. Their 50% off storewide sale ends today so run, run, run over and splurge on some sexy new skinage. Well, I better get to eating this cone before it melts all over my new outfit. Happy Memorial Day weekend readers!

P.S. Please excuse the color changes in the pictures. I was trying to teach myself how to use GIMP again.

Waves

Waves

Here when the wind dies,

The silence grows,

Ponderous and bold,

Like growing old,

As the sunset dims

And the sea turns gold

And the silence drifts

Towards us,

Thunderous and bold,

And the waves come lapping,

Lapping, lapping at the shore.

—HUGH A. HARTER, Portsmouth

I found this poem online and thought it fit the look. Kind of like my mood today as well. Grey and Gloomy...

Lots of great finds this weekend on SL and this look features a lot of them. I'm absolutely head over heels in love with this new hair from !lamb and it has brightened up my mood just a little. Well, I hope everyone's having a nice Memorial Day weekend! Take care!

Tartness

Hello bloggers and readers! Today I'm showing off some fabulous finds compliments of TART/Fall In. TART/Fall In recently opened their new store and decided there was no better way to celebrate than with a hunt. They hid several prizes throughout the store and all of them are awesome. From a simple white minidress to grungy black jeans, the goodies are abound! I got to say that my favorite prize was the 100 linden giftcard! Usually store owners get to choose what they want to give out but the owners of TART/Fall In are so generous, they've hidden a giftcard among the other prizes. I'm showing off this cute denim skirt that is so versatile along with a checkered button down shirt called Dylan that reminds me of the Midwest. With all the bad weather the Midwest has been having, the region has been on my mind so I guess this outfit is kind of inspired by them. Keep the families of the Midwest in your prayers as they search for their missing.

To add to this look, I added a Lazy Sunday special that is out early. Grixdale offers the choice of one of two adorable skins for the super low price of 75 lindens. I really liked the pale blue eye makeup and mauve lips of this one so I scooped it up. I finished my Midwestern look with the newest release from Elikatira. Break is a sideswept bangs with a half up half down hairstyle that is perfect for a casual look. Well, this blogger is signing off. Have a super Saturday!

Midnight Train

OMG!!! Lots of awesomeness to show you tonite as I wait for my train! While doing the Ice Cream Hunt, I stumbled across this great skin store called Mississippi Murder. For like 100 lindens or less, you can score some adorable skins in a variety of styles ranging from gothic to New Englander. I absolutely fell in love with this fatpack called Elf Dream. It came with 10 skins, a shape, and cute elf ears. While the skins are adorable, I gotta warn you that the ears are a little high so you'll have to adjust them or wear long hair so no one sees you're wearing two pairs of ears (1 human and 1 elfin)! Still this is a fabulous find and well worth the price.

Of course after buying a new skin, a girl needs some new hair to go with it so I zoomed over to Catwa and picked up this messy updo called Nada. If you've never been to Catwa, I recommend you pay them a visit. Their hair is perfect if you're trying to put together a slightly tousled but adorably sexy look.

After all this, I was browsing Marketplace and came across this totally hawt outfit from The Doll's House complete with accessories and boots for the fantastic promo price of 149 lindens!!! You seriously can't beat Marketplace when you're trying to find some different clothing on sale. Well, my train is finally here so I'm off! Happy Thursday bloggers!

She Walks In Beauty......

 She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Skate'n Surf Hunt Preview - Part 3

Well, here it is! My conclusion to the preview of the Skate'n Surf Hunt which started yesterday and runs till June 14th. Lots of awesome freebies to be had at this hunt. Yesterday, I showed off all the sexy surfer related items I liked and today I'm going to show you all my new skater girl items.

*Stops skateboarding* First up is this unisex outfit from Stilecht. It's comes with a tank, some awesome baggies, and cute sneakers. I guess this outfit can be surfer chick too but I think it's more skater and since I was dying to try out this fabulous skateboard prop from Pink a Boo, I wore it. This skateboard comes complete with four different poses, some of which are action, and in two colors. I lost my black one on the ramp so I'm showing off the pink one.

And finally I gotta show you this awesome DJ booth complete with a spinning pose from Blue Sky. It's neutral and available in a wearable and rezzable option so if you want to use it somewhere you're not allowed to rez items, it's perfect! I paired it with this thin color-changeable headphones from k_gs. Don't they just complete my wannabe DJ look? *Giggles* Anyways, all of these items are prizes compliments of the Skate'n Surf Hunt so be sure to go find them. The hunt is on a loop so it doesn't matter where you start and you'll score some fantastic finds.

Skate'n Surf Hunt Preview - Part 2

Hi happy bloggers! I've got more fabulous finds from the Skate'n Surf Hunt to show you. My first pics feature a sexy striped bikini with ties from one of my favorite stores on SL, Ducknipple. It's very tropically yet neutral and perfect for that laid back beach vibe look. Since the sun is going down here in my private paradise, it's time to light the tiki torch and it's so much better when the torch is free. Oh, and look what's washed up on my shore. A starfish and conch shell. These awesome props are hunt prizes compliments of Fearless Nation. I topped this look off with a cutesy shape from CS Shapes (I love the eye shaping on this so I'll definitely be wearing it again!) and some nice poses from socialANGtz.

Look two features more clothing. This time it's a bandeau style bikini top paired with some casual style capri jeans from A:S:S that are rolled up so you don't get them wet while walking in the surf hunting for shells. I decided to chill on my own palm tree for these pics since I'm getting a little sleepy now. *Yawns* I think it's time for bed. Be sure to check out the Skate'n Surf Hunt which starts in about an hour on SL. Oh, and special shoutouts to my fave Aussie twin, Fox. He's single ladies and so much fun. Told me to say he was the sexiest man alive in my blog when I told him I was working on a post but I told him that I couldn't lie to you all. Anyways, if you want a SL love connection, leave a comment. Muhaha! I'm so bad!

Skate'n Surf Hunt Preview - Part 1

Hello my awesome fellow bloggers. Today I'm pleased to show you some fabulous previews compliments of the Skate'n Surf Hunt which starts tomorrow and runs till June 14th. The hunt is courtesy of What's the News and features a summer vibe with all hunt items having to be focused on either surfing or skateboarding. Today I'm in a beachy mood so I'm going to show off some of the "surf" items.

First up is an adorable blue bikini from Apricot Paws that is versatile yet sexy. From the front, it looks no nonsense surfer chick but when you look at it from the behind, you will see that it has two cute bows to give it the perfect girly vibe. I paired it with this fantastic surf board prop from J & T Poses and Animations. J & T Poses and Animations has been very generous and given this board with about five different poses so be sure to keep your eye out for other poses available with it because of course, I'm just featuring my favorite pose of them now.

Now that I'm done getting my surf on, it's time to change into another pretty but dry bikini by Before Sleep and relax a little at this awesome lifeguard tower/beach shack brought to you by 22769 Casual Couture. This shack is perfect for all your surfer photos with friends because it features five great poses and compliments any beach perfectly with its weathered look. The sign at the entrance says "Bikinis optional" so I'm going to opt to leave my on. *Giggles*

 

 

 Well, it's time for me to catch another wave. Be sure to check back for more fantastic items you can find on this hunt and check out What's the News for start locations and hints. Aloha! Yeah, yeah, I know it's not surfer lingo but I don't know how surfers say goodbye. I've always lived inland.

Look of the Day

Just a quick post to show off this super cute dress from Artilleri and this breathtaking dark skin from Al Vulo. I'm not a fan of darker skins but Matilde is beautiful and totally free so why not give a darker skin a try?

Now onto the dress.... one day my SL sister Jules told me she was shopping at her absolute favorite store so I asked her for a tp and wound up at Artilleri. I could instantly tell why this store was one of her favorites and fell in love with all the cute retro clothing they had to offer. I think I blew like 300 lindens in my first two minutes there but the things I picked up were just too adorable to pass up. This dress was the first thing I was drawn to but alas, it got buried in my inventory and forgotten till today. I'm so glad I found it and get the chance to show it off. If you've never been to either of these stores, be sure to pop on over and check them both out. Ta-ta!

Love Child

Just a quick post before I go hug my pillow. Last week, Belleza sent out a beautiful group gift named "Aiko". I'm sure most of you have seen it but today, I found another Aiko by Lara Hurley. I've never purchased a Lara Hurley skin before so when I heard they had a freebie as their subscriber gift, I tped over to check them out. Lara Hurley's Aiko is Asian inspired as well but with bright bubblegum lips and matching pink and yellow eyeshadow. It's absolutely flawless and didn't even need a mascara tattoo layer like a lot of skins I've come across so this means you have more makeup opinions if you're not on a viewer that supports more than one tattoo layer like I am. I found out that Aiko means love child and child, I'm in love! Lol!

Now for a zoom in:

My absolute favorite skin designer has decided to branch out and is now featuring some sexy clothing and costumes to go with her skins so when Alexandra Barcelos of Filthy dropped us bloggers her newest clothing releases, I just had to open them right up. Of course, I wasn't let down and just had to show off this sexy tank top and low rise jeans that are part of her new clothing line. The bright pink of this top goes perfectly with my new skin so of course I'm super happy. Well bloggers, it's past my bed time. ZzzzzZ!

Procrastinator is one word to describe me....

Hello bloggers! Since everyone in my family works on the holidays, I usually celebrate them a day late. It's just another excuse that I can use to put off doing stuff I should do at an earlier time. Since yesterday was Mother's Day here, I'm celebrating today and of course, there is no better way to celebrate SL style than with a hunt so I decided to check out the Mother's Day Hunt. Most of the stuff I found was of no interest to me beings I'm not a mother on SL but I stumbled across this gorgeous ethereal gown by Alloro. I'm a sucker for anything that flows so I just had to show off it. The color is called Honeysuckle. I always thought of honeysuckle as a green or yellow tone but this gown is a pretty mauvish color with black accents. If I were you, I'd zoom over to Alloro and snatch this up before the hunt is over on June 8th.

I've never visited this store but they have a Lucky Board and a Midnight Mania one as well for those of you who are on a budget. I'll definitely be back when I'm not on a budget.

After picking up this gown, I hopped over to Mamboo Chic and camped out at their Lucky Board to snatch up this absolutely gorgeous skin that is one of their two Lucky Board prizes. Sarah is a slightly rosy cheeked skin with light melon lips that is absolutely perfect especially beings it's free! The only issue I have with it is that the nipples are a little dark for my liking but other than that, it's flawless. Here is a close up:

Have a great start to your week! Hugz and Kissez from Kis!

Back Off! I'll take you on!

For those of you who know me, you know I'm never one to turn down a challenge so when my partner, RH, challenged me to make an av that was hot and cost nothing to make, I jumped right on it. I went about this the easiest a.k.a. least laggiest way I could and hit up the Marketplace. There was so much stuff that I loaded my new avatar up with lots of clothing and accessories but when you get to the goodies, I believe hunts provide the best quality goodies for free so I stopped off, visited a few that are running, and picked myself up some awesome hair and an adorable skin. I present to you my newest alt, Madison.

I do admit that it's a lot harder to make a hot av than it seems on zero lindens so I went and paid 6 lindens for a decent shape which I tweaked a bit and some eyeliner but in my opinion, 6 lindens is like zero lindens. I still think Madison turned out pretty good. What do you think?

Oh yeah, in case you were wondering about the title of this post. It's called "Headstrong" by Trapt. It's one of my favorite songs and kind of fits in my taking on this challenge. Anyways bloggers, I'm off! Be sure to give the song a listen and have a happy rest of Mother's Day.
