Beach Bound

Warmer temperatures in RL today made me wanting Summer to get here sooner than later. It was about 90 degrees here so I jumped in the pool in April. Big mistake! It was wayyyyyy cold and I froze my tail off while taking a dip. Lucky for me, the weather is always gorgeous here in SL so I donned this pretty neutral bikini in Seashell Peach by Rezipsa Loc that is available for the 52 WoC challenge and grabbed this adorable starfish mesh bag by Poor Intentions to hit the beach. Mmm the weather here is fabulous and I can't wait to set down my towel so go get the suntan lotion and get your own beach because this one is all mine! *Giggles*

I'll Read You a Story

Shh, don't tell anyone but I snuck into my brother Zan's library to take some pictures for you. I just had to show off these adorable props from Magnifique that are available at a discounted price for TOSL and what better place to show off a book than at the library. This set comes with 6 book smart poses as well as book props and is only 75 lindens. Yay! I love to read and I know you will too when you snap up these poses. 

I'm also showing off this pretty floral dress that is going to be available at The Fashion Garret for its next cycle from u.f.o. Last cycle, they had this awful dog bodysuit that I hated so I'm happily surprised to find such a nice dress with two belt options from them. It goes to show that you can't give up on a store just because you hate one thing you see from them. I paired the dress with this beautifully done pale skin with serious eyes and pouty lips from Iren as well as some fabulous hair from Angel that will also be at The Fashion Garret. You should definitely save up some lindens for this sale because the things I've seen that are going to be featured are very well done and tasteful.

Stay tuned for more pics from The Fashion Garret and say a prayer for the victims of 9/11 on the 10 yr anniversary of such a tragic event in our nation's history. This blogger is off to RL for a bit. Muahz!

Let's Get Wet & Wild

This week's TOSL theme is Wet & Wild. I get to show off these adorable bikinis from Alexohol. Featuring 4 tops and 4 bottoms, you get 16 different cute bikini options for the low price of 99 lindens. I figured there was no better way to show off a bikini than to hit the water so that's what I did with this fun prop from ILAYA. This little floating tube comes with 6 built in poses and in 3 different colors so be sure to pick this up this weekend as well.

I'm also showing off one of the newest hair releases from Angel Hair. Carmen is its name and it's a wild free-flowing style that goes perfectly for some beach play. You should definitely stop by Angel Hair and pick up this fabulous hairstyle soon. It's time for me to dry off now so I'm gonna go grab a towel. Happy shopping readers!

A Collabor88 Preview

Hewwo all! Today I get the privilege of showing you a sneak peak of an outfit that is going to be available at the upcoming shopping event, Collabor88. Collabor88 is going to be a monthly shopping event hosted by The Sea Hole's designer and owner, Drinkinstein Sorbet where no item is greater than 88 lindens. Be sure to keep your eye out for this new discount shopping experience opening on 8/8.

I'm also showing off this totally adorable hair that is a discount item at My Second Wardrobe courtesy of Angel Hair. Vivien is a retro style updo that has an texture changeable headband with about 40 different funky textures. I love its fiftyish vibe and how unique it is but wish that the texture descriptions were better labeled for quick customizing. It's still totally worth the price and comes in a pack of 5 different colors so if you haven't been to My Second Wardrobe lately, pop up and snap this cutey up. I combined this beautiful hair with an equally stunning skin that is the new August group giftie from Filthy skins. Love the light freckles, Alexandra! While you're out shopping for Vivien, tp over to Filthy and join their group if you haven't already. For a onetime fee of 199 lindens, you get a gorgeous skin a month.

New @ Angel

Angel Hair has released 4 new female hairs. I'm going to show you 3 of them. The first is only available at Grunge Soul Project for the discount price of 99 lindens and the other two can be found at Angel Hair's mainstore. Waga comes in four shades. Shown here is Soil. Isn't she cute? I love the not pulled through pigtails that are slightly off skew. Kind of gives my av a youthful looks, don't you agree?

Next up is another pigtail style that isn't so messy. Layla, shown in Blonde is available for 225 lindens at the mainstore. I love the color changeable headband and length of this style.

Finally, I'm going to show off my favorite of Angel Hair's newest releases. Michelle is a braided updo that just screams sophistication in a unique way. I'll definitely be wearing this one when I go for my girly looks. Well, this blogger is off. Be sure to stop by Angel Hair or GSP and pick up one of these cute dos.

Exploring

It seems I'm always running out of interesting places to take my blog pictures so I did a google search on the most photogenic places in Second Life. I've been to a few of these sims but somehow this one got passed over. Innsmouth is described as an abandoned 1930's New England town and I found it so hauntingly beautiful that I just had to show off the goodies I picked up today.

I work weekends so I feel like I'm always missing out on the good sales that go on during the weekends but tonight I was lucky enough to make it to the Lazy Sunday ones. I fell in love with this pretty dress from Black & Blue Outfitters but when I took it home and tried it on, I couldn't adjust it to my body type. (Not the designer's fault, I'm a noob when it comes to these things!) Happily, I remembered that I bought these cream lace shorts from League on Friday so I thought hmm, I wonder if they match. I tried the top of the dress with the shorts and found it was a perfect match but that the outfit needed some color so I paired it with this awesome denim jacket from Action.

After that, I dropped by CHIC's Fashionably Late event and picked up this creamy skin with dark eye makeup from Haut Monde called Camden. I believe that it's a preview of her next skin line and it fits right in with what I can describe as a dewy look that seems to be the normal of Teresa Republic's skins. I love dark eye makeup because I'm usually after a dramatic look and Camden works so well for me. I topped off my look with one of the newer hair releases from Angel Hair. I usually work the long caramel colored hairs of hers but I decided to experiment with this chocolate brown short style and can definitely say I'm impressed with Angel's short dos too. Well, it's five am here and I've been up since five am the night before so it's definitely time for me to hit my pillow. Be sure to check out these fabulous stores!

P.S. My poses are supposed to be for shoe shots but look how cute they are for the rest of my outfit. You can snag these at Magnifique Poses because who doesn't love a pose that makes both your outfit and shoes look good.

Look At My Elephant!

Yes, that's right look at its cuteness and tell me you don't want one for yourself. *Giggles* That's what happened to me when I stumbled onto a blog last night that featured this totally adorable elephant bag. It's so unique and well done that I just had to have one for myself so I tped over to Tokidoki and picked one up. I just love that it's wicker and can go with anything and that it came with a pose version perfect for pictures. Speaking of pictures, be sure to check out the cheap poses that they have for sale near the gachas. I can't resist cheapy poses and these ones are so cute.

I know I featured a C'est La Vie dress yesterday but I never have been to this store before so today during my shopping time, I checked the store out. They have so many cute summery romantic sundresses and such but I was pleasantly surprised that they were offering two very cute floral freebies. For the group reaching 2500 members, C'est La Vie has out this beautiful rose colored sundress for a freebie. All you have to do is join the group and slap the gift board and you got yourself one sexy little sundress. They also have a cute floral scarf as a gift for joining their subscriber so go on over and check out this store if you haven't already.

Lastly, I just have to mention this hair. It's one of the newer releases from Angel Hair and I just love it. The sideswept bangs and long loose waves of this hair make sure that it'll be a favorite of mine for the next few weeks so be sure to stop on by Angel Hair and check out their adorable designs. For long hair, they are truly becoming one of my faves.

Angella in the Future

Hi bloggers! I've got some new hair to show off to you. Some of you may have noticed the newest hair store to come to Second Life but some of you may not so I want to show off this adorable new hairstyle from Angel Hair. It's called Angella which I believe means "little angel" but I feel like a Victoria's Secret angel in it. I love the realistic highlights to this hair texture and the way it frames my face. If you're looking for sexy long hair, then I recommend you tp on over to Angel Hair and snap up this yummy creation.

I paired this with my newest skin from Filthy and although I showed off Paige in my last blog, I have to point out her newest release which are these beautiful eyes. I'm wearing # 05 which are a deep blue with little flecks of color in them. They are so sweet, just like their name so while you are checking out Alexandra's skins, you should also take a peek at these peepers.

Oh, I also have to mention this totally cute outfit I picked up from K&L compliments of the Summer Breeze Hunt. I don't believe I've ever seen a complete outfit with ears, a tail, and paws included for a hunt and K&L puts out some adorable neko outfits so you should definitely go grab this one.
