I Want You All Tattooed: A Tropicalia Bazaar LOTD

The Tropicalia Bazaar started a new round on Monday and when I saw this colorful tattoo by Yulicie, I just had to show it off. I love the fun design and it features My Little Pony so even though I don't normally rock tats, I am now. This gold corset top from Nemesis compliments it so well that you'd think they went together. I like the texturing on this little number a lot because it actually looks like the boning is there.

As for my skin, it's the newest release from Izzie's and Beth is her name. I love the sweet look of her face and the fact that she comes with loads of makeup options for layering your little heart out. I'm rocking the base lips right now with some fun purple shadow but there are also lip colors and a freckle option too so you have lots of customization options to play around with.

Oh, and don't you just love my new capris? They are a hunt goodie right now at Censored for the Carnaval Hunt. There are about 8 prizes to be found but these were one of my faves and I'm sure I'll be wearing them again and again.

TFG Newness

The Fashion Garret is back with a brand new round and although it's small this time, there is still some awesomeness to be had. Illmatic has put out this deep v neck bodysuit with sparkly detail and a sheer panel for you conservative types. This sexy top comes with a matching skirt perfect for a clubbing outfit. I'm not wearing the skirt because the prim is grey for me but I sent an IM to the owner and hopefully they'll fix it but you should still check this out because it's a smokin outfit even so.

I'm also showing off this fun little iPod from Pepper that is available too. This cute MP3 player comes with three different size options and is color changeable so you can customize it to your avatar's size and outfit easily. Oh and the skin I'm wearing is from Essences and comes with lots of extras so you know it's a bargain and there is a demo available so go check it out.

52 Weeks of Color: Coral

Yes, I'm already behind. What can I say? I'm a big time procrastinator. It's partly in fault because I'm not a huge fan of the color Coral. It reminds me of pink and yes, even though I blog pink, I hate pink. That's probably why I chose an orangish coral. Lucky for me, Alexohol is designing goodies for the challenge so I was lucky enough to snag their Brandy Puff Dress that is available for Taste of Second Life in this color. Don't worry! If you love the dress as much as I did, you can blog it in Electric Blue because they also have it in that color. Now TOSL is over in a few so hurry on over and snap this pretty girl up.

Oh, and I have to rave about the hair real quick. It's the newest release from Tameless and I just have to say that I absolutely adore her short styles. They flow so well and I look totally cute in them. I'm sure you will too so go on over to Tameless and check out this new hair with customizable streaks and hairpins. It's called Dori.

P.S. These pics are for my fellow Rumorista Desi because they were taken in Oahu and she's my favorite Hawaiian. :D

I Need Coffee

First, I want to apologize for this picture being a little darker than usual. Yesterday my beloved laptop died and I'm now on a different one and don't know how to fix the colors yet. If anyone has a clue, please let me know because I miss my bright world on SL.

The Tropicalia Bazaar is back with a new round and has inspired this little post. Art Body Store put out these cute coffee cup poses as one of their items and since I've been on such a coffee kick lately, I just had to show them off. I usually prefer iced coffee but my sister bought me this Mocha Mint flavored kind from Dunkin Donuts and I'm addicted. Yum! I also picked up this nicely done Reindeer jewelry set from Purple Moon. The little stones on it are changeable so you know you can accessorize it well with any outfit. I like how it's kind of Christmasy but not too Christmasy as I'm getting a little tired of posting Christmas looks.

Oh and my hair! Gotta talk about that. It's one of the newest releases from Tameless and it's called Nadine. I absolutely love this shade on me and the style works so well for pictures. I've never heard of this store until recently but if you're looking for a new hair store, head on over to Tameless and pick up Nadine. You won't be disappointed.

A With Love Hunt 2 Sneak Peek

The With Love Hunt 2 or With Love Again Hunt starts on Dec. 9th and runs till Jan. 6th. This will be the fifth CHIC management hunt and has over 100 stores participating. All hunt items will be 10L but will be quality items valued at around 400L. I managed to get a sneak peek at some of the items and I can honestly say this is definitely a hunt that you won't want to miss.

For this post, I'm showing off this beautifully done red cocktail dress featuring a belted waistline and jeweled embellishment on the shoulder strap from R.icielli. I've paired it with a darker red colored purse called the Mara purse that is part of a gift set from Purple Moon.  This little set includes matching boots (not shown) that would be perfect accessories for any SL fashionista's inventory. As you can see, both of these prizes are well worth the price so be sure to mark your calendar for the With Love Hunt 2 and stay tuned for more sneak peeks from this fabulous hunt.

P.S. In this picture, I'm wearing the Al Vulo gift skin from Winter Fair. Although it's not a With Love prize, it is free and so beautifully done so be sure to head on over to Winter Fair and pay Al Vulo's cottage a visit.

Mash Up

I didn't know what I wanted to post tonight because there is just so much going on around the grid right now so I put together my own mash up. It's a little bit of everything I've picked up/received in the last two days. I finally joined the dark side and am now on a mesh viewer! I blame this hair from kik for that because I just had to have it. Singularity is now my viewer of choice because it's got all the features I love from Phoenix plus mesh. I was lagging very badly with Firestorm so I'm glad my blogger wifey told me to check this viewer out. Anyways, check out the pic!

And now a real mashup:

Playing Catch Up

So due to RL, I fell a little behind in my blogging and am trying to play catch up. I apologize to those designers who support my blog for being delayed with my blog postings and to my readers for having nothing new to show off but I'm hoping that it's behind me now.

This has been my look of the day, well actually past few days and is a mix and match of some adorable items that I've picked up from various stores. I'm showing off the newest group giftie skin from Filthy (love the freckles!) as well as some newly released eyes from sauce. I paired them with this soft long sleeve tee perfect for layering from Cool Beans that is available at The Tropicalia Bazaar and a lovely textured cardigan from Jane. Since it's autumn and I'm still running around in shorts, I figured I'd balance the look with these cutesy socks that were out on Grenade Free Wednesdays from Izzie's. I'm not sure if they are still out at a discount price but you get lots of different colors so they are well worth full price. To show my look off, I'm using these fun poses from art body store that are also available at TTB. Well, I'm back to RL. Be sure to visit these stores for some new awesomeness.

Mixing It Up

Just a quick LOTD with some fabulousness that is around the grid right now. If you haven't been to The Tropicalia Bazaar or Perfect Wardrobe, you're missing out on some great sales. Everything I'm wearing besides the hair, eyes, and blazer can be found at these events. I'm in love with these platform wedges from Cool Beans because they are modifiable and I can mod them to match practically anything in my wardrobe. I'm also in major like with this pretty Fall inspired skin called Lula. This cutesy skin which comes from a side brand of Sorry Asia called Barbiedoll is only available at Perfect Wardrobe. You definitely need to get your butts over to both of these events before they change collections.

 

I'm showing off my LOTD in this house brought to you by the former owner of birdy. Even though she no longer owns birdy, she has released this winterish wood house and is hinting at plans for a new store so keep your eye out for that. This blogger is off till later! Muahz!

Sneak Peek: Upcoming Tropicalia Bazaar

Tonight I have a sneak peek at a pretty blue sweater dress that will be available from Purple Moon for the upcoming round of The Tropicalia Bazaar. I'm in no way a fashionista but I notice that sweater dresses are hot this season on Second Life because I've seen quite a few in the last couple of weeks. The twist on Purple Moon's version of the sweater dress is this suede textured belt with a little western inspired fringe. I love how the neutral brown color of the belt offsets the bright blue of the dress and how the belt brings attention to the waist. I paired my adorable sweater dress with my Miel boots and this fantastic freebie from Le Poppycock for Style Academy. I was thrilled to find that this little hatbox inspired bag was mod so I changed the color of the trim to match my LOTD.

After putting together my look, I had to find a place to take pics and I stumbled across this site telling me to check out this SIM called Joplin 66. It's a breathtakingly beautiful and raw inspired farm town and it was deserted. I feel so bad that someone's talent is wasted and that this fabulous SIM is empty so go check out these pics I found on Koinup  while googling and visit Joplin 66.

A Tropicalia Bazaar Sneak Peek

The Tropicalia Bazaar is changing its collection as we speak but lucky for you, I got a sneak peek of a very bright and pretty dress being offered by Purple Moon as well as a matching jewelry set. This combo which reminds me of a watermelon is going to be for sale at The Tropicalia Bazaar. The dress features a resizer in the bodice and skirt and has three alpha layer combinations to hide those troublesome areas and the jewelry set includes a pair of teardrop earrings as well as the teardrop pendant necklace.

I'm also showing off this fantastic butterfly prop and pose that is going to be for sale from Art Body Store at the event. It comes with five fun poses that capture the movement of the butterflies so nicely. This event is only on its second collection but already it features some fabulous designers so be sure to stop by and take a peek.
