Incredible Free Items
Today I was spending some time with a good friend Jaydie and the subject of Adam n Eve came up and the Limited Edition sets only available until Valentines Day, Shown Here previously.
Jaydie used to work for PhatCats Jazz Club before they changed hands and she got her now job at ETD.The previous people of PhatCats have opened a New Club called Sweethearts Jazz Tropical Ballroom , now not only are they looking for staff at the moment but they are incredibly professional and go about making you enjoy your time at their location.
So much so that when you arrive there are two sides to the landing hub that have an incredible assortment of free items and one of those is the Incredible Romantica Golden Gown by Sachi Vixen with Romantica slippers by Damen Gorilla. Look at the divine gold texture and detailing of this stunning gown that can be worn with or without ballgown skirt.
The lovely slippers are perfect accompaniments but can be worn with so many other things in the future also. There are also items by Nonna Hedges and there is Hair for Men and Women , more shoes , a Male shape and Tuxedo.
Now even though Sachi makes DEMO’s for all her clothing, this is a superb way to really enjoy the designs that Sachi and Damen produce, as well as spending an evening dancing with your favourite dance partner.
The thing I love most about this is that for New Residents to be able to go somewhere that is not sleazy or seedy; and fit in with everyone else. To have a night of feeling absolutely beautiful, spending hours dancing and enjoying the beautiful locations that are created in SL is what its all about.Also the hair I have on today is the divine gift from RaC to all for Valentines Day, its called Love Affair and it comes in an assortment of fantastic colours, I put on the strawberrry and havent even looked at the others yet as it was instant Love. The texture and shine are incredible and the way it just falls elegantly around the shoulders, made from both alpha-prims and sculpties it is again an incredible way to familiarise yourself with a designers product.
I didn’t get a chance to take pics of Stupid Cupid this other fabulous and fun freebie available right now at Ookami Ningen, Zorena made this today and its adorable. The textures are so vivid and the furry ended arrows in the little carry on your back are punk fluffy yummyness. Make sure you go grab it because you never know-just like me yesterday-when you are going to need an arrow lol.
The Poses I used in the Gown pics where a delightful gift today from Gorgeous, and are by Poseur a store New to me, but they have already a large assortment of packs available, with all sorts of different themes for Guys and Gals, so be sure to give them a whirl.
The skin is again by PopFuzz Designs and is the Tan Golden, see again a definite reason people need gold make up.
Always thankful for:
Essentia for my Beautiful Hair Roses and Jewelry many pieces of which I have watched being made, and had the pleasure of wearing first as they are custom fit to my shape-I’m blessed.

Inspiring Popfuzz Bamboo, Ookami Ningen & Material Squirrel
Popfuzz Bamboo the designer of Popfuzz Designs, recently took on a huge task to create her own skin line.
Well known for her ability to create clothing in as many colour combinations as possible, she has truly outdone herself this time. 615 skins in one humungous release, there are 7 caucasion tones, 2 Dark, Fae and Gold skins. All have incredible make-up choices and I have only been able to capture a few of them. In the first pic I am wearing Essential Golden in Tan , as soon as I saw this one I knew I had to have it, as we wear so much gold in SL that its so wonderful to have make up to match.
The second picture is the Dark Bronze Future set and this make up is superb, I couldn’t get over how appealing it was to have green lips. The eyes are also stunning and its a nice change to have such bold event style make-up on a beautiful natural skin tone.
The third picture is a lot softer in the lipstick and is the Pale tone in Sparkle set, very similar colours than the other sets but softer where the feature is predominantly the eyes, and some pinker rouge than the other skins, but probably more noticable as it is a pale tone.
Then in the next picture we have the Chocolate Essential skins, the shading around the eyes is just lovely and the tone is a rich mocha blend.
Lastly is the Tan Smokey set and again the eyes are the attraction but who can get past those sensational lips. The mouth on all these is just superb and the facial structure and detailing to the skin over all is wonderful.***VERY IMPORTANT***
If you read nothing else in all my post this is truly important. I was taking pics for todays post and in the middle of it started a conversation with Popfuzz about her skins. I had been trying to head over since the release and been really busy with work etc, so I asked her to send me the DEMOS .I stopped what I was taking pics of and started trying them on to be suprised that they didn’t look good on me at all. I waited for rez, even rebaked and yet it was just a bit too much face and bits around the nose, what I mean by too much face is that it was like I had no contours to my face at all- this was not saying it didnt look like a really good skin it just wasnt’ME’.
BUT I loved the make up on one in particular, so in keeping with Popfuzzes incredible release offer- I will tell you about that soon- I purchased one, and as it was going to be the right colours for my shoot I put it on without DEMO written all over the face. Then I gasped, the skin I had on now was completely different to the ones I had tried on, and I had tried on at least 8 in different tones and make-ups.
I completely freaked out and ran back to the demo folders and sure enough they now looked completely different too, the skin is incredible. Yes it seems odd that I would proceed with my purchase even though it wasn’t my look, but when you take alot of pictures its more about the make up and from afar in the right theme it would have still been great it just wasnt ‘ME’.
Thing was it was ‘Me’ they are ‘Me’, it was SL being an uber stinker bum, I was really upset also that this must happen to people all the time when choosing skins, SL has one of those days when things look to be rezzed and then suddenly you’re super duper rezzed. So why is this so important ? The reason is that skin buying for many is a big step, it is a financial decision as well as a looks one and there are so many skins out there, more so than when most of us bought our biggest skin purchase, you remember when you went from the one after, the one you got after you were new lol.
So as usual I always say DEMO DEMO DEMO, but today I am going to say, grab as many DEMOS as you can, go home get naked or in a bikini somewhere-take off those damm face lights- and look at the skin from every angle in all sun/moon settings. REBAKE (Ctrl> Alt>R ) and then wait, then don’t do anything for a day. Then next day try them all on again, even ones you thought weren’t ‘You” because SL just may have let you down in that department the day before.
Ok now to the ***VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT***
Until next monday Popfuzz Bamboo is offering everyone to have the oppurtunity to embrace her New Skin-line by letting you pick one skin and contact her to get it at 200L the regular price is 800L so that is a significant saving, this offer is one skin per avatar, so if you have been considering an alt lol now is the time to consider harder *giggles* I so didn’t say that- it makes me laugh when people tell me that they aren’t buying something for them but their alt has it or is going to buy it later today.
The beautiful hair I am wearing in the skin pictures is by Gurl 6 and is called Juliet, I adore this hair so much- I nearly broke a leg trying to get to it when it was released.
Now to share some more absolutely divine items with you. Ookami Ningen owned by Zorena Deckard is a store full of imaginative clothing, in the past I have blogged items from there and usualy there is some significance to her creations, what I have come to realise is that Zorena is very passionate about culture as in the Arts, Music, Literature they all have a place in her creations.
Her latest release started as the Dying Swan and ended up with both Dying Swan and Dancing Swan. I was intrigued by this as I had the pleasure of TP’ing around last week with Zorena and Vivianne while Zorena was in her Dying Swan creation, which was something she was inpired to make for herself and with much prodding decided to release it-thank goodness.
The beautiful creation was inspired by the Ballet Piece the Dying Swan and I did some googling and its a beautiful piece first performed by Anna Pavlova. I also found a YouTube interpretation of it by another ballerina and the sound is awful but you can see how this would inspire 4 such lovely sets by Zorena, and yes due to popular demand already the Nocturne sets have been added.The first is Dancing Swan, all white corset style top with beautiful feather/fur detailing across the top of the bodice and the incredible upper arms. It just floats as you move its gorgeous. I actualy opted for a different contrast skin for this picture, wearing the wonderful Demoness skins by Teagan Blackthorne of S.Y.D. There are a selection of make up variations and unfortunatly my face pics didnt turn out so I will have to show you those another time, but if deep red skin is your thing then these are the ones to look closer at, the red is so rich its wonderful.
The hair style in this pic and the next is the Mollie Uppy-do by Here Comes Trouble and I love how Babyboo managed to realy twist the front of the hair into the pile of curls at the top, you really need to try on the DEMO to see what I mean. I wanted some pearls and elegant Jewelry to go with this look and I found the lovely Queen of Pearls Platinum set by Becks fine Jewelers in my inventory and it was perfect. Beautiful single strand choker and drop earrings, with bracelet and ring.
The reason I am barefoot in the pics is because I have two kinds of ballet shoes in my inventory, slippers that really didnt work and fetish *grins* and the white Eve boots though they looked fab on, didn’t suit the incredible poses by Gorgeous of Juicy. But I did get the wear my black ones with the Nocturne sets-pokes my tongue out at Whimsy.
This is the Dying Swan set and when Zorena and I were talking I told her I cant do blood lol, well it seems I can if I have fun with it, so searched my inventory and low and behold I actualy own an arrow-would have been more fun had it had a heart attached lol.
But again you see the real attention that Zorena gave creating this set for those that can do one or the other or both :o).Now on to the Dying and Dancing Swan Nocturne sets and I do so love black ballet outfits, the beauty of both the white and black is so obvious and the pieces are easily convertable, just think about adding your favourite long gown skirt and creating a totaly different gown.
As the Nocturne sets are a bit darker I opted for an old favourite hair wise, also from Gurl 6 called Gail, this is my I’m a rebel hair lol I used to wear this all the time when having one of those ‘I’m Tuff’ days lol.
This is also where the Fetish Ballet shoes came in as they aren’t past the ankles so the poses still worked really well. They are the DXD Ballet Heels from the Dominatrix shop a really beautiful store lol so much so that when looking in search I just wanted to go there because of the pretty picture of the build-it turns out its a Relic prefab so that makes all sorts of sense why it was so breathtaking- but ended up having the exact items I was looking for :oP -pokes it out at Whimsy again.
Dying Swan Nocturne also has the same blood detailing as the white but I did tend to get carried away with the poses and wanted to of course show off the magnificent Carmine wings by Material Squirrel, which ended up being a perfect time to feature items from there as they have UPDATED THEIR WINGS!!
They have done a huge wing hud update and its up to you to go to their blog for all the info you need to get your wings updated to the latest versions, this will be a huge undertaking by Kala Bijoux so be gentle on her but as I and many people I know have wings from her store and are not in the group this is realy vital you know about it, and also the NEW UPDATE version will include an automated update so you never have to do anything again but accept the latest features YAY, how cool is that …MORE INFO HERE.I hope you found all that I have shown today as Inspiring as I did and here is that clip I promised you, remember the sounds over the top of the music are awful I apologise but you get the general beauty of the piece .

Laynie-Wear inside and out
**I got the skins sorted so they should appear after this post YAY **
My brain hurts, I have spent hours trying to show you the NEW Laynie-Wear skins and they are truly fantastic, but in all my efforts to be tricky in how I will present them, every single option blew up in my face*sobs*.
30 pictures loaded on some free server thing only to do god knows what with god knows who. I am at the end of my rope, and so I have to apologise to Laynie because I give up for now. But I do still want to share the other pics I took of her incredible tintable Cami tops that I have had for a while now and are fabulous.You know those days when you just need the perfect layering option, or just want to pretty up a pair of pants without flashing your middle section, well Laynie was having those issues too and came up with the 6 beautiful tintable Cami tops that are on all layers possible to give you the option to layer however you may need, and also to add coverage to your favourite hipsters on those days you just dont feel like letting it all hang out.
I want to also point out I am actualy wearing two of the skins in these pics, both of which have grey/silver make-up and are beautifuly modded skins, using the Eloh Eliot templates.
If you click on the pics to go supersize you should be able to see that Laynie has done a large amount of work to them, especialy to the mouth.Laynie also assures me that she did a lot of work in the more private areas of the skin also, and will be setting out Demos in her store later today.
The skins are 175L each and the make up options are ranging from soft and feminine to dramatic eyes and big lush lips. Laynie is looking forward to adding more to the range in the future and I can’t wait, because so far I am in love with all of them- I even like the purple ones lol .
In the first picture with 5 of the 6 Laynie-Wear Tintable Cami tops I am wearing another great pair of pants from Last Call, for the Go to Girl set , and again if you haven’t been yet to do one last run through,time is running out. The first pics are of course wearing the jacket layer, so then I decided to try and see where I could go with the layers options Laynie provides.
There has been alot of talk about mid coverage lately and Pixeldolls is another store that came to the aid of girls that don’t want to or can’t always expose that much stomach.
When the Belts by Pixeldolls came out I like everyone went running to grab and tonight when I ventured over there I found that they had actualy added more colour options. By the time I did the math and the fact they are having a new items SALE at the moment I ended up buying the fat pack which means, Yes I have bought the same 4 belts twice lol, but I did save money I swear.
So putting on the beautiful 6th Cami top by Laynie-Wear and then adding the Rumple Shrug in Charcoal also from Pixeldolls , I found a pair of pants I wanted to cover up lol and added the knit jacket belt in black, and Voila a layered look you can be most proud of.
The fun thing about all the layer options by both incredible designers is that you could layer in about 3 different ways to get the same look. The pants are the Ingrid set pants by Last Call, and I actualy did have to go the highwaisted option because even the belts didn’t go low enough down, but the belts do vary and they can definitely spruce up some older style pants you dont really get much wear out of anymore.
Its funny when you wear cuffed pants how you still want to go all out on the shoes, it’s knowing yourself how fabulous your footwear is that matters, right!. So I pulled out the latest creation by Enktan Gully which are the Enkythings Gyala shoes in Grey, and like all his shoes there are different sole options and a huge selection of colours.
The mix of prim and sculptie works a treat on this modern take on the classic clog, the shine to the shoe itself is gorgeous with the contrast heel/sole and the rivets along the side and the beautiful little detailing at the front, it all works and is perfect for a day out and about. With pants or skirts these shoes are YUMMY!.Keep your eyes open for more skins from Laynie-Wear and I will try and show you the ones I took soon, also encourage her to make more Cami tops like these ones, they realy are fantastic Halter neck style tops that just add so much to your inventory. Also don’t forget Last Call and Pixeldolls for their SALES- if the Last Call one is over, my apologies.
The hair I am wearing in both pics is Melrose by ETD and is a gorgeous style in one of my favourite ETD textures-Tawny. I am wearing also the Byzantine choker and Silver hoop earrings and Black tipped grey Hair Rose by Essentia .

Perish the thought
Some of you who are on my friends list may remember a few weeks back me screaming about how Feri Beckenbauer had sexed me up in the sky. Yes that is exactly the kind of crazyness that my friends have to endure on a regular basis.
Some of you already know that Feri is a designer/creator behind Beckenbauer Productions a store that started out with the Doc Marten styled boots, and has grown from there to include all sorts of items; ranging from boots to samurai armor and of course some incredible goth/punk/sci-fi themed sets also.
Perish is the set that he sent me and I was instantly drooling over its mix of science fiction meets classic film-has anyone else noticed that in many big movies with a sci-fi theme there is always some vintage looks going on?. Feri was very proud of his ability to tackle feathers for this creation and I am very impressed also, the style of the jacket is just divine, it’s slimming texture and leathery highlights just make it delish.
The pants took a while to work out as I was clicking all ready to go into edit and then realised the man is an angel- I already knew this but shhhh don’t say I said so. He has taken the resizing hard work out of what is the thigh hugging prims, and made them texture for the most part and then the prims on the side for a more natural look. So for something at first glance that looks like some work may be needed for a slim fit is not the case at all YAY!.
Pictured with the Perish creation is the Apoca boots also by Feri that are incredibly chunky and totaly work with the sexy ensemble, but as he is a boot maker extraordinaire you have many styles to choose from in his store and in a variety of colours.
In keeping with my future/past look I opted for one of the Newish Seductive Glow Skins by Digital Dragon Designs designer Zoey Pinkdot-dont you just wish you started SL when that last name was available- that was another crazy day of conferencing to group. Zoey has created a huge assortment of make-ups in this collection and I am wearing the Marilyn (smokey) and its just beautiful.
The make up is sultry and effective, and there are wonderful themes throughout the collection; Drama being one of them lol. I really love the skintone and the shading around the cheekbones giving real structure to the face shape overall, and you cant beat the subtle beauty mark that just enhances the whole vintagey feel.Now it was time for hair and who better than the original Rock-a-billy Godess herself Antonia Marat of Artilleri -who for people like me who love the vintage look weeped when we finaly found her store. The hair shown in two of the pics is Sarah Jane and its perfect for this look and the colour red is YUMMY! so much so that its a perfect match to the beautiful red lips in the Marilyn make-up.
All in all the combo to me was perfect but I couldnt stop there. I knew from the minute I saw the top of this set that the grey and black combo I would love to mix and match, so I did. A simple pants change to the Editorial Pants from the Editorial Set by Last Call that I think you can still get the outfit for only 100L and the pants alone are worth that, stunning pinstripe with prim cuffs to die for, and of course the incredible detailing that Last Call is renowned for.
The grey in the pants and the jacket work in perfect harmony with each other and the feathery collar just enhances that vintage Chic business look, I decided this was the Perish Diva look so of course what better shoes than the Diva Heels by Tesla, I loved these shoes instantly, they are so different than the norm; but again so proper vintage looking, they are more shoes that have that discipline look thing going on, and thats just sexy.
I wanted to see what other looks I could come up with, and I have a large variety of grey/charcoal in my inventory but wanted something a bit more feminine. I went again to my Devilish Cupcake folder remembering a skirt pack I picked up there the same time as I bought the Merry Dress and Voila! the Claire skirt was the perfect option
.
Now while I was typing all this I got an IM from Abby Coalcliff of Devilish Cupcake and she told me that her Main Store has been rebuilt, which most of you probably already know.The new link is the new slurl, and she let me also know that her store is now a Mosque that inside is an 80’s themed Roller Rink-omg could you ask for more Funna!.
Also that right now as you read and I type-ok thats not right because until I finish typing you cant read, but anywho- she is in the process of making rollerskating outfits for men and women so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for those.So back to my Perish Prep look, Claire Skirt as stated again looked fabulous with the Perish Jacket from Beckenbauer Productions, then I went diving for softer looking hair but the same general theme, so back to Artilleri Hair folder and mmmyummy Mariya – I fell in all sorts of love with this at hair fair-decided that Antonia had more goodies I needed and found the stunning Black Silk Scarf and Gladys Glasses in Black to finish off the look, of course swapping the feather collar from Perish with the scarf, and as the jacket has a lovely neckline anyway you can even go without-I was just having too much fun *grins*.
The Essentia Black Tipped Grey Hair Rose of course went with all three looks and is one I wear probably the most often, and even though I could have changed make up a dozen times from the stunning assortment Digital Dragon Designs has, I will leave that up to you to do ;o) DEMOS DEMOS DEMOS!.

Fleur by any other name is TaP *Grins*
***What I learned today, CTRL-ALT-F5 gets rid of foot shadows for pic taking***
Today at 1pm SLT was the long awaited re-Grand Opening of ‘Fleur’ formerly known as Tete a Pied for all those skin fans that have been living under a rock the past 2 weeks.
Now the reason I say ‘Re’ is because a month ago the long awaited; Grand Opening of ‘Tete a Pied’ had us all enthralled by the incredible vision that was the romantic train station.
I myself found it difficult to navigate through the beautiful train, for the fabulous prizes of that day. But every romantic bone in my body was tingling.
Was I or anyone else disappointed today though when seeing this incredible NEW build by CJ Carnot and Roslin Petion the wonderful Duo behind Fleur, NO!
Landing at this incredible build, I was instantly taken in by its charm, it had such an old movie feel about it; that is regularly a theme when dealing with Roslin and C.J. Casino Royale was the theme of this gathering and I felt totaly encased in an old Bob Hope/Gene Kelly atmosphere. Roslin looked Divine and C.J ever so dapper in his white jacket tuxedo. Unfortunatly I wasn’t able to get pictures at the time, but felt it was important to zoom back later in the night and take some snaps.
Wearing of course what I wore to the event, the guests came out in full finery and hopefully someone more adept took some pics that will appear somewhere, Nicky Ree who is now nestled alongside Fleur was there with her partner Beam and he was adorable entertainment for the event. C.J had scripted an incredible Roulette wheel- NO Gambling took place it was pick a number win win win-and everyone enjoyed the catching up with people they haven’t seen for a while, or only saw an hour before somewhere else lol-love SL.
Now I was blessed to be joined at the event by my partner Mel, who always looks sooo handsome no matter what he is wearing. When I was waiting for him to return tonight I started taking some pics of my outfit…….he signed in and next thing I know he was jumping up and down in my sphere *giggles* ‘What are you doing?’ I asked, to be answered ” I want to be in the picture too”-he is too adorable.
So about our outfits, One day I was doing some work at home and a drop down from fash con appeared, it was by Devilish Cupcake designer Abby Coalcliff, now this was at the end of last year, and yet this notice stayed in my head well into the New Year.
The notice was for the Merry Shorty Dresses & Opera Gown, and as soon as I saw the pic I was in LOVE!. As much as I work in SL there are items I see and pine over and often don’t torture myself with because of the lack of events to wear them to…..Mel has changed that, so as soon as we started seeing eachother I raced over to get the dress with the knowledge that I was going to be able to wear it one day.
The other reason I coveted it, was that it reminded me so much of gowns my mum used to wear in the 70’s, she had the yummiest wardrobe, and to this day I still whimper that it all got given away when I was too young to say NOOOOOOOOOO!. I wore the Opera Gown to the Fleur event but wanted you to see what you get in the set as a whole, as you get both long and short dress with pants on both layers for each option. You can see other colours available HERE on Abbys’ blog.
I loved being able to have such a open area to show off my Casablanca set by Essentia, which is the incredible necklace and earrings that Fiachra Lach created especially for me so that I would have something to wear for more formal events,and totaly suited the Casino Royale theme. It comes in Gold and Silver versions, then adding the Silver Hair Rose also by Essentia was of course the next step to getting ready.
I love silver so much so it was a no brainer which one to get, but one day I may add to it as all of the colours are stunning. I knew immediately what skin I would wear with it and it wasnt just based on the fact that I was attending the creators event, but because I absolutely adore the silver make-up of the Vivant-Glam skin by Fleur . I remember a long time ago IM’ing Roslin saying ‘You need silver make-up” only to be patiently reminded that Glam has silver make up :P- she loves me I knows it-truth is I had the Glam demos and hadn’t gotten past number one as it was so lush, again I knew at the time I wouldn’t get the chance to really show it off; but zoomed right over to get the pack after that convo and have actualy worn it alot since.
Even though the eye make-up is very dramatic and so sexy, the softness of the rose pink lips gives it a sensual look that carries over into all sorts of looks. I did however get corny and put on the Roslin hair by ETD in old textures Black, which is a lovely style-but I did only buy it because it was called Roslin- and suited this dress perfectly.
What also suited the dress perfectly is the shoes, giggles* which I bought seconds before the event, and had only the night before strutted around our house in the demos telling Mel I was definitely going to get them soon, and soon was today. They are the Armidi–Gisaci-Vidalia pumps in Silver, and are just beautiful-and I promise to take a better pic of them soon… ( ok seriously I felt really bad and thought hmmm I’ll google them and find a better pic, but half an hour later I realise I could just jump in world and take one, so wait a few minutes, I’ll be right back).
Ok back, phew. So these are the yummy shoes I tp’d over to get this afternoon minutes before the event, and the texture was a perfect match to the Merry Dress Opera Gown.
So a while back I saw a tutorial somewhere on using the liquify tool to round out images for second life avatars, and yes possibly some designers use it to make their items look more appealing for vendor pics. But anyway to me its a fun way of rounding out the pointy ankles and I probably will never remember to use it again lol but today I did- and didn’t do too bad, if I do say so myself.
Now lets talk about my hunky man for a bit, we as I have said a few times already, have been to Armidi alot lately it seems, and so has everyone else on the grid *BEGS the Armidi team to make their stores more open*-I have spent so much time in naughty corners I’m starting to get a complex.
I wanted so bad to treat Mel to some goodies as he spoils me rotten, and the suits there are just YUMMY! So the other night I treated him to a few things and one of them was the Gisaci Italian Suit-Chocolate-he loves brown- So today he also got a chance to show off his New suit and looked mmmmmmmyummy, wearing it with his ShinyThings City Walk shoes in brown-wants Fallingwater to make those deep brown too now lol- and his messy and hella hot hair called Gabriel by Naughty Designs – it’s so perfectly messy I just want to mess it up more.
Finishing his look or perfecting it is his skin by Minnu Model Skins, MMS-sk-h-chx-
fullG which is Minnu speak for Sexy Man with full Goatie or is it Thora speak? me thinks Thora :o) .On that note I wanted to share another video clip that the incredible team of MMSkins made for the Male skin release that I hadnt seen until last night
and again shows how incredible every step they both take to produce product is so detailed and orchestrated to provide us with sensory overload, it’s wonderful.

Adam n Eve do Valentines Yummies
Sachi Vixen and Damen Gorilla of Adam n Eve have done an incredible turn around from their regular ‘theme’ items they are known for.
If you haven’t explored Adam n Eve in recent months then you are in for a shock, Sachi has added some definite saucyness to her style of late, and Damen has enhanced that by his incredible workmanship on shoes and accessories.
I happened to be on my way to the store earlier today for a quick look around and got an IM from a wonderful friend *waves to Efe* who wanted to look at some skins, and asked for some suggestions.
I tp’d her to join me, and while I was in the store I was lucky to be in IM with Sachi and mentioned I needed to update my latex that she has done recently- I got all the ‘what about these’ folders and now I don’t actualy know what ended up on the shelves lol-so while Sachi was correcting that for me, she dropped something else on me, and it was INSTANT LOVE!.Now yes I had planned to strike a pose in latex this evening but there was no way in the world I could not show off this dress, Decollage by Adam n Eve is a stunner, the fabric is just divine and the style overall is beautiful. Plunging back and front which is a favourite for me, especialy when wearing Pandora Skin- Sasy Make-Up
-also by Sachi which has the most beautiful back detailing.
The dress is LIMITED TIME ONLY! which kind of makes me weep, but the reason being that the wonderful sash and waistband has subtle lovehearts on the print, in keeping with the valentines theme. I personaly want to see her do the same dress without hearts in every colour imaginable, because the fabric is soooooo sexy it caressed my skin and got me all geared up for romance, which is the point, right ?.
What are the other reasons for the love? well let me tell you lol , one thing that just screamed at me was the fact that the pants looked wicked without the prims, and I got a whole other look out of a gown, which is always a bonus in my mind. So a quick change of hair and I was ready for a night of shaking it at some fabulous club somewhere. The other brilliant thing about Adam n Eve is that there are DEMO’s, all the clothing, skins and shoes
all have Demo’s so that you can be totaly sure you are going to love what you get.
So whether you have a date for Valentines day or not, this is a Gown-and pants-set- that you will get so much enjoyment out of.
Now speaking of Shoes, and I was*points to the paragraph above* Damen was in the process of completing the matching shoes to these Gowns and I squeeled in his box ‘Gimme Gimme’ -I am so ruuuude I know, but he luvs me, they must, there is a dart board with my pic on it in their studio *giggles*.But I had to have the matching shoes because Sachi was being naughty and sent me a pic already, so there was me in brown casual shoes running around in a gown waiting for them to be finished, and then they came and wooot.
These VSP shoes will also only be available until the end of Valentines Day, so get thee to the store, all sculpties and divine contrast heels on the deep red version-because of the contrast in the gown also they look fab with either Gown-, and I just adore the mini sculptie heart charm attached to the back.
I needed a new Up-Do for this Gown, just because any reason is a reason for new hair lol, so I popped over to Frangipani , and as I had never been there before I was really impressed with the red pack having such delightful assortments of red in it, Lauren I am wearing in both the Sangria and the Ruby and the style is a lovely side swept bangs style with a nice side loose bun, accentuated by the Grey tipped Black Hair Rose by Essentia.
The second look with the pants needed some hotness so I went with the ORIGINAL Bombshell style by Armidi , I have no idea how this style may or may not have changed, but from what I have seen, either way its still a gorgeous do…. I so have plans to do a post soon on Armidi because I have an interesting theory about the shopping in that sim lol its all good I promise :o).
To finish up this fabulous Valentines or any time look, I opted for the Jet Set Diamonds set by House of Nyla because I have wanted to find a reason to show it off for ages, and what better way than here lol. Nyla Cheeky does some beautiful work with beading both in RL and SL and it shows her love for the craft in her incredible Cloche hats and this stunning Jewelry set.
I love a good choker and beaded ones are just a delight, the matching bracelet is lovely and the fact there is no blinding bling is a bonus, these are just beautiful pieces of jewelry and you can see the detailing on the pieces, the way you should be able to.
So in preparation for the upcoming day of romance, go and take a look at the incredible pieces shown here today and remember DEMOS,DEMOS,DEMOS

CKS Designs and the Great big Treasure Hunt
Ok so I am back, and I know that a few of you missed me-because I keep hearing about it lol-I have had this blog sitting here for a little while and I was going to wait until I cleaned up my inventory, but then Kit started screaming at me in offlines and it was time to dust off the posestand.
So first post of the year is a new release by CKS Designs, Kit Maitland-Oh how we in our household love her work-The new release is called Hard Candy, and not only is it a fabulous Valentines themed ensemble, BUT! for one day you will have the chance to scoop it up for free.
Some of you may know about the group called “Designers in Seclusion” some of you wont, but its a group of incredibly talented people, info in red.
***Press Release: Immediate
Grid-Wide Treasure Hunt!
Over thirty designers have gotten together to produce a Valentine’s Day Treasure Hunt that will span the grid! Each location will have a gift box hidden inside their store. The boxes will randomly change locations inside the store so you’ll need to stay alert!
The starting location will be HERE!
This will not be open to the public open until 1:00am STL February 9.
The gift boxes will be displayed for you to see, and all instructions will be given at that time! Please read the signs at the location when you arrive, and follow the directions. Then head off across the grid to start your hunt!
The treasure hunt begins at 1:00am SLT February 9 and will continue until 11:00pm SLT February 11
Look for goodies for both men & women from the following designers:
~ *AE* ~ Accessories by Eolande ~ ANIMAH ~ AnnaH ~ Balderdash ~ Bodies by Oh! ~ Boingo ~ Calla ~ Caroline’s Jewelry ~ Cassini Creations ~ CKS Designs ~ DaeSkins ~ Designing Nicky Ree ~ Elite Designs Furniture ~ enkythings ~ First Impressions ~ Hair Solutions ~ Hubby’s Boutique ~ Ingenue ~ Irelyn ~ KessKreations ~ Kitchy/UOMO ~ Moonshine ~ PajamaRama ~ Philotic Energy ~ PrimPlay ~ Reaction ~ Rose Petal Creations ~ SecondWave Apparel ~ She’s So Unusual Shoes ~ SYD: Style Your Destiny ~ Tea Monster Clothing ~ Textures ‘r Us ~ Topaz Square ~ Vitamin Ci ~ Wilted Rose ***The lovely Kit is one of those generous people I mentioned on my side welcome, and she gave me this set and the one other I am showing today, Hard Candy is a fantastic peachy pink set, with not only the one adorable pair of cute panties but 6 all with the hard candy we all remember from our childhoods featured on the bum.
Be mine, heartbreaker, ILU, Kiss Me, Love Bites, Squeeze Me are the yummy slogans on the panties and hmmm 6 pairs only, me thinks that Kit has made one day panties free day *giggles*- I am so sure all the men in the grid went WOOOHOOO, I know mine has already declared his love for her today.
Reason being is that Kit has this little trick, she makes her little bitty skirts using the jacket layer instead of pants layer like most, which allows for panties to flash and with her sets like this new one and detention an older one its cute and sexy. This set not only comes with that type of skirt and the adorable panties, but also 80’s style anklet socks with ruffles… the adorable sweater comes on undershirt and shirt layers and the heart cut out is just fab, all year round.
What I love especialy besides, EVERYTHING! is the sleeve extenders on this top, made on the gloves layer, great idea and just adds a kind of cosy charm to it. All of the usual fabulous extras are included, like her posestand so you can make any adjustments without fishing around for one, the picture of the set so you dont have to remember everything you own lol, and the incredible Smart Skirt option in a seperate skirt- love that you have the choice without having to fiddle- and of course her notecard describing her ‘Look’ detailing who, what, where how and when for each item that she didn’t create herself.
Now when I ran to wear and saw the colour, I looked at Kits pic to see what shoes she wore with, more out of curiousity than anything else, they were white and I knew immediately what shoes I would wear, because he colour was identical and the shoes had saved me on another occasion when coming across the same pink.
Enkythings Menisa shoes are Enktan Gullys’ first sculptie shoes and they are marvelous, the texture is a soft suede leather look-on my screen anyway lol- with beautiful stacked wood heels that are rich in brown tones, and just look how perfect the pink matches up, so that if you decided to go without socks you are colour co-ordinated to perfection, you can check out the Demos’ in his main store or even grab them using OnRez.
Quick note on OnRez, if you ever want to see if a designer you already know has a store on the site, just use the regular site url and after com/ type in the designers first name _ last name and you will find them much faster :o) .
The hair in the pic is by Here Comes Trouble creator Babyboo Glitterbuck, whos’ hair I just love to bits, I was invited over to her studio in the middle of taking pics and of course Boo was not suprised enough to even ask why I was encased in a prim red ribbon lol. The hair is the wonderful Vesper style in Dirty, which is one of my favourite blondes, and be sure to keep a look out for the incredible hair and other goodies she has got coming soon, I seriously swooned.
Now about my skin, ahhhhhh Minnu Model Skins released the Third Generation Skins recently with the extended face make ups, some slight changes to the eyebrows and some other beautifying details, and as soon as I finaly got a chance to try them on it was instant love.
If you didn’t get the chance to see the incredible movie Minnu Palen made for the release you can view it HERE! and damm if your prone to easy exitability brace yourself, Minnu makes the screen perspire. I am wearing the MMSPale NF -Clean skin in this picture and the soft make up is just perfect for not only this outfit, but for those of us who work in SL and need a softer look for every day, but still want something that can go into evening and still be incredibly sexy.
One of the other make-ups in the extended range is the MMSPaleNF Aero , with its stunning red lips and beautiful eye make up that I am wearing in the next pic, and while I am on the subject of Eyes and MMSkins lol my Green eyes are from there also, Minnu recently updated all her eyes to give them a wetter more natural look, and they are so fab I bought a few colours and yet I only wear green.
This next set by Kit Maitland of CKS Designs is called Wrapped, go figure lol, now this little number is definitely something your valentine is going to enjoy unwrapping.
The incredible ribbon textured top is on all layers- I can so see that becoming this years censor top on occasion-and the red is silky and vibrant, tieing beautifuly at the front in a big yummy bow, the gorgeous sheer red panties are a fuller fit and a delight with their pink and deep red detailing and are a fabulous addition to your lingerie inventory.
Traveling further down I squeeled when not only were these stockings just too cute but they had seams, I adore seamed stockings as I have always worn them in RL in the past when wanting to totaly uplift a look to sextabulous, and not that this set needs that at all but oooo it’s a delight having them and again a great addition to your closet, even though a themed set the pieces in it just keep on giving.
A few weeks ago I stopped by Storm Schmooz and checked out the shoes I had seen blogged so beautifuly by many talented bloggers, it caused instant drooling and I had to grab all the demos because I knew that Mel would want in on the excitement. I actualy got a chance to talk to Storm for a few minutes in IM about some vendor pics being priced for thousands of lindens-yay loved that bug- and he was very charming and easy to talk to.
So when we went back I was treated by Mel to the Laque in Red as shown and the incredible pink you will see in the future, these shoes are divine; not only are they sculptie goodness but the texture is rich and delish, the shape of the shoe is very conservative and when mixed with the colours available in that shiny lacquered look its just hell sexy… kind of like an episode of School Mistresses GO Wild! – I’m sure there is one of those in the making lol.
So when I saw the rich shine to this wonderful Wrapped set, it was a no brainer on what shoes to wear with it. The hair is again by Here Comes Trouble, a wonderful concave cut with vintage style bangs that I love called Evette. Make sure you try on as many incredible Demos when you visit HCT, but also grab the seriously wicked fatpacks she has for 1L at the entrance to the hair section. My all time favourites are Mallory and Saleen of the 1L styles.
Now there are so many things that I ALWAYS use when blogging and doing my everyday things, one thing that you will remember some of you, and those that know me is that I always wear Hair Roses/Jewelry by Essentia. There are 57 of them in total and they are all beautiful and I do hope you stop by Fiachra Lachs’ store and check them and his beautiful Jewelry out.
As that is the case and also the same creators of poses will get mentioned every time I am going to make the bottom of my post one big credit to those creator/designers with their slurls etc, even though there might be a day I don’t use one stores stands in that particular post, I can pretty much guarantee I went through them all to get there, so they deserve appreciation for giving me so many choices.
