Fashionable Relay Challenge
“Welcome to the Fashionable Relay Challenge, where we each in turn (order to be determined later) put together outfits that integrate an item from the Person who is on the list before us.”
Yes a challenge with an interesting twist. This one is going to take some planning because of the way it is going to happen, so please note, that to participate you will need to comment on this post with your avatar name and the url to your blog, and we don’t want anyone to miss out.
Also this is not only for bloggers of fashion to participate in, anyone that has access to a blog of some sort should join in the fun.
The cut off time for commenting to be included will be Wednesday 11th Feb, that gives everyone time to see and hear about it. Once that cut off happens those numbers and names will then be posted with links to their blogs, and then it will begin.
How it works : Each person will have a number, and that will be the order they are going to post in. Each persons post will show a look they create and then the person after them will choose ONE item from that persons post to wear in theirs, the item you choose is totally up to you based on their complete look.
You can choose to wear the same skin as the person that posted before you, that is up to you , the relay item is totally your choice, but in the description/rules I will refer to clothing and accessories.
Example:Â Person one wears shoes made by designer A , Person 2 wears same shoes, Person three cannot . Each person should try and make their look as completely different as possible except for their relay item this way there should be a lot of diversity.
The way it works is that only two people will share the same item, giving so many different looks over all but relaying from each other, passing the fashionable baton so to speak :). Mind you if Person 12 wears shoes that Person 2 wore that shouldn’t really be an issue, but try and mix up as much as you can :).
Rules:
1. All items must be able to be purchased as separates, this way there will be lots of range, but it also makes it less costly for the person after you to pick their relay item.
2. All looks must contain at least 2 accessories (not shoes ) such as bangles, earrings, rubber ducky, wings etc, but the two must be less than 200L each ( again we don’t want people to have to spend lots of money) if you have special Jewelry you always wear that is far more than the price limit please wear others as well, the more you wear the more options your Relay partner has to choose from.
3. All looks must contain 3 different designers in it, we know people have many favourite designers they like to wear, but this gives people the chance to branch out and find stores they may have never been to .
4. Each Person must include a link to the blog that they picked up their fashion baton from at the start of their post, and at the end of their post must link to the blog they are passing to, that way each person reading, even if they are not aware of the relay will be able to go back and forward to follow the progression. The last person on the list will post at the end to the first person on the list, for the same reason.
5. You MUST be able to post as soon as possible, as we don’t want the relay grinding to a halt, if you find you are unable to post please contact me asap :), we want this to be fun not stressful for anyone.
6. Colours CAN vary, if you want to relay the persons hair for example but they are blonde and you only wear black , then you wear it black :). Same goes with shoes etc, as long as it is the same item its ok.
7. YOU MUST SLURL to the stores you are showing the items of, you will need to make sure that at the bottom of the post you list all items by name and the stores with slurls that they come from, that way the Person after you has a very clear list.
8. You cannot wear items that are not for purchase at the time of posting, that just means those items wont be able to be relayed and thats no fun :P.
Again I know this seems all involved and stuff but really it should be so simple as all you are doing is what many of you do daily, see one item in someones post that you can’t live without.
I can’t wait to start this and so many are already loving the idea , so stay tuned and don’t forget to comment here to be included :).

Scribble me this
I confess I am a chewer in RL, this has always been a really bad habit, and I am not talking gum. I have a fixation for hard plastic, the kind like they make pen lids out of, you know where you get it and it’s like solid and hard and you chew and it breaks down and can flatten out.
Well I have to confess it has never really just stopped at pen lids, in my lifetime I have destroyed at least 3 remote controls as well *blushes* and nothing is worse than trying to change channels holding a remote together because you absolutely stuffed it.
So aside from that you just have to love men that like to shop, so much so that Aaren and Newdoll and I were out and about and he mentioned Scribble, me being out of the loop a bit lately had never been , and WOW just WOW. I wanted to eat the whole store.
Now not because there are food stuffs there, but just because everything in how the store is presented looks good enough to eat. Not only does Radio Signal – how cute is that name – make fantastic clothes and accessories, but hair and shoes as well, but its her overall presentation that leaves me wanting more more more. The sim is just fantastic and reminds me of Emilie Simon’s film clips for her Music , and if you haven’t indulged in those I encourage you to You Tube her.
This first look is Cozy Princess by Scribble, the dress comes in a huge assortment of colours, as does everything in Scribble, and the sculptie work in this dress and the rest of them is wonderful. This dress is a tiered style skirt with the option of with or without bow detailing on the cuffs, collar and skirt, which actually means you can mix and match to only have bows on any of the three, or parts there of.
The texture used is a lovely knit look , and I love the collar so much that wearing this as a sweater with dress pants would be a definite as well. The hair I am wearing is also from Scribble, it is the Messed Up hair, and the textures are thick and heavy looking which is wonderful for this style.
The addition of the Headbands with small bows was an easy choice, also from Scribble and really very pretty, they fit well and you can resize them to fit whatever style you are wearing, they come in lots of lush colours and there are all sorts of different adornment options.
The shoes to the far left are the Ping Pong Platforms by Scribble , which are a wedge espedrille style sandal, with different ankle wraps for each leg, giving them a more authentic look – I have tilted the skirt for the sitting animation, it doesnt do that itself, but I made sure to make a copy before I did that lol.
Now the fabulous Jelly Pens I have in my mouth are also made by Scribble, I know that a hundred times I have been in world with a pen stuck in my mouth RL , so as soon as I saw these ones they were a must have, because this way I won’t end up with a mouth full of ink, or get yelled at for chewing up the lids, which you should never do to Jelly Pens I learned the hard way , because they tend to dry out :(.
This is the Cozy Party dress by Scribble, as you can see the dresses are very similar, but they do have little differences that are enough to have you standing there trying to decide which one or all you favour. This one has the double breasted buttons that I love, and each colour has its own contrast colour buttons, two things to point out, the far left buttons I tinted black, they come normally in a creamy yellow colour, and the second thing and this effects all, is that there is only a shirt layer and no glitch pants, so you will have to maybe raise the skirt a tad like I did if you have some height to you, also the buttons were all in my chest because Radio is much tinier than me shape wise.
Best way to go about getting prims out from your body is to alt click on the ground near your feet, not on your avatar and then drag your mouse inside your body, once you see the items right click and edit and drag back out. The style of the dress didnt really need glitch for the pics, but when out and about I will definitely be wearing some panties as I did during the post – thanks Kit from CKS for having some in her latest release so they were handy lol.
One thing you will notice about Scribble is that Radio seems to be a big fan of a particular Linden , yep Torley gets big snaps in this store, the bright Green Cozy Party is Watermelon , and there are Torley named colour descriptions throughout the store.
The Slouch Socks I am wearing are fantastic, again different looks for each leg, so you have that real slouched feel. They are a wonderful knit fabric also, and the majority of the colours compliment the base colours of all of the dresses at Scribble.
Now for the Candy Flats, these are fabulous, no seriously fabbbbbuloous. They are a ballet flat style but with a backless fit, so more of a slide than anything, there are different options for each, there are basics with and without straps, bows or rosettes, so you just have to choose which you love the most to get.
But it’s not just the style features and the wonderful textures I adore, its the squishyness to them. There is something about these flats that looks so soft and padded for a really comfy fit.
The hair I am wearing is from Magika and is one of their newer styles called Amber, a lovely semi braided loose style that is so sweet and the colours are rich and inviting. I know its been ages since they changed textures at Magika, but I am just so glad they did, because choosing one colour over others was too darn
Really there isn’t a need for a favourite with the Scribble Dresses, BUT if I did have to pic one this would be it. This is the Cozy Pea, I am thinking it’s name and style is derived from the Pea Coat look, and that is one of the main reasons I love it.
Double breasted buttons look all the way down YUM, also a little extra length in the skirt, and then there is the bows options, bollar bows and the back bow, isn’t it just satin glory.Again the buttons on the top I had to fish out, but the ones for the skirt are attached so that wasn’t hard, I also love the contrast in the brown of the aqua buttons, a great combo.
The hair I am wearing with this dress is the Vanora hair by Philotic Energy, this style is gorgeous, a wonderful flicked up ends medium length do, that has a wonderful layered cut look to it, a fab style for those that like an all rounder to wear the majority of the time, and for the other hair addicts its another Must Have.
What I adore about all the Cozy Scribble dresses is they have a real vintage style to them, that will have you wanting more more more, and to definitely come up with great accessorised looks for them, and they are so definitely boot perfect.
With this one I put on the Ribbon Legwarmers from Scribble that I did have to tint the ribbons a little bit to match the ribbon on the dress a bit closer. I know boots would be perfect but this was a nice change and again so many colours to choose from, and they are also a fab knit so you feel all snuggly in them.
For the shoes portion I actually went with the Kensington boots base from Tesla , they warranted another look as there are also many gorgeous leather options in those.
The skins I am wearing in all the pics are from Pulse, they are the Bella 2 skin which has such a youthful complexion, and really soft looks to some of the make ups, especially the ones shown today, which are Dreams, Feel and Fortune, I love how Lorac names her skins and make ups 🙂 .
The Bella 2 Skins are different than the past Pulse skins, there is definite differences in the face, especially the mouth, and I really like the way she has worked the skin overall, definitely DEMO DEMO DEMO time if you have any love for Pulse , and if you haven’t already succumbed to them in the past, now is the time, there are so many wonderful skins and tones in the store, you could be there for days.
Have fun shopping at Scribble, and totally take the time to explore the sim, the cafe and the gift shop, with the wonderful trees and other items for sale from her build,also the photo booth is way too much fun, and there is a fabulous lucky prize board in one of the alcoves that if it is your letter you choose out of the three prizes which one you want.

A Secret
Do you want to know a secret ooooo ooooo oooooooooo, ok so seriously its been a jam packed week; and you would think with not working now I would have more time lol.
Ok so on with the showing.
So the first Gown is from Sams Secret Boutique, and it is the December Gown – told you I was behind. The lines of this gown are just marvelous, and its the crushed crepe fabric that really makes this gown something to treasure.
There are multiple ways to wear the gown, you have the flexi white ruffle at the empire line, and without it the texture is really pretty also, then you have the incredible open fronted layered gown skirt, that is done with such attention to detail that you really embrace all of those layered qualities.
The back of the gown is plunging – not shown – but definitely worth a mention, as it has two delicate straps across the mid back to just hold it all together.
For the Jewerly I went with something timeless, the Antique Sterling Locket from Genesis, this is a scripted locket that you can load your own pic inside of, which also opens and closes, its a lovely piece that you will want to wear often with many looks.
The hair is the lovely Kailey hair from HCT (Here Comes Trouble) we all know how much I love HCT hair, and I am so excited because Babyboo is studying at the moment to broaden her skills with sculpties and other goodies that she will be able to use in SL.
The skin is the limited release for Valentines Day by Fleur, it is the Lily Shoujo Red Valentine and this skin has all the wonderful attributes of the regular Shoujo line in four tones and these incredible deep red lips. I especially love the beauty mark just under the left eye, its dreamy.
I got overly excited with the ShoujoValentines skins by Fleur, this is the pink version and I just love how bashful and innocent it looks. The blush to the cheeks and the soft pink lips are a delight, you really need to check them out in all the tones and find one that suits you, because this is a limited time skin you will not want to miss out on owning.
A few weeks back Newdoll and I were hanging out – as we do – and she was wearing this fantastic hoodie, asking where it was from we took a little road trip to LA Street Scene, now this is a shopping sim you will spend a lot of time exploring, because every little store has something fun and fabulous inside. Two of the stores in this pic are located there, so make sure you visit and get lots and lots, I did.
The hoodie is the I love my Kitten- Hoodi by MEEMBEE @ LA Street Scene , this store has a mix of delights, I even came out of there with hair as well. But this hoodie is fabulous, not only do you get the wonderful paw mittens for your hands, but there is also an unworn version on strings as well. Not only that but the fab hooded part has pink lined ears, and can be worn down as I am or up over your hair, that is a bit difficult to take pics of though as your head goes oneway and the hood another depending on the poses.
Now Newdoll and I went all over the place, I bought boots and lots of other goodies, but then when Newdoll crashed I came across Manga Passion @ LA Street Scene , this store is adorable and the set I have taken pieces from was like 130L or something nuts. The set is called tenue manga kawaii, and the items I am wearing from it are the cute pink socks and the fantastic belt, with cat face buckle and kit kats tucked into it, I mean what else would a kitty snack on. Just a snippet of adorable info, most things in the folder are called object or New Pants, New Shirt etc.
Now to show off and compliment this look I get to wear my No you didn’t make bloomers bloomers by SN@TCH, I love these and you saw them recently, but I couldn’t resist. They come in long and short and white and black in the set, so a big time bargain. The fabulous hair barrettes that look so much like ears are also from SN@TCH and are the Harajuki Barrettes, so pink and sooo cute with not only the roses but the wonderful little dolly heads sitting amonths the petals, a headband also comes with the set, so if you dont want to lose your ears you have that option all covered, YAY For thinking.
The hair I am wearing is another HCT style called Sella which is a pulled back loose bun style, which can be casual or dressy.
Lastly and a merging into another MUST HAVE, are the Kensington boots by Tesla. These are her latest release and they are fabulous. They remind me of equestrian boots, with their length and buckle, I cannot get over the smooth sleek look of them, especially the higher front that fit just right over the knee, the leather texture is soft enough to feel dreamy, and sturdy looking enough to let you know they are going to be a wear lots and lots boot and be strong enough to take it… they come in a multitude of fantastic leathers and I am so excited that Tesla is on a boot kick right now.
Now speaking of boots and we were, I cannot believe I haven’t blogged this before, and seriously it’s only because of Whimsy the other day did I realise that I hadn’. It pretty much went along the lines of ‘ Why the hell aren’t you wearing your boot fixer” …”What’s a Boot fixer ?” ” OMG WHAT?” .
Then an instant TP and a crazy stair climb you will have to see to believe. Ok so backtracking, a million years ago there was a post on Fashion Finds at Phils Place about the Bootfixer, from a store that was re-selling them. I went and grabbed like 5 at once and handed them out to friends- which now that I think about it probably means Whimsy has had one all along – that woman never unpacks things I send her darn it.
I have since then gone to the creators hole in the ground store numerous times with more friends to get them to grab one. The concept is that regardless of what pose or what AO you use the BootFixer – which is a hud with only one button on/off – will re align your foot. As you can see in the pic left is without and right is with.
Rarely am I ever not wearing mine, even if not wearing boots lol, no reason to have to remind myself to put it on that way :P. Not only is it genius but its 50L anddddd if you want to resell it , which is a brilliant idea for stores that make boots, you can buy a pack of them that are transfer for a discounted price and then sell them for 50L at your store. ARGH I just realised that I didnt get the slurl brb have to log in. Ok got it, will put it under the heading of Boot Fixer in my slurls page :). THis is a MUST have for anyone that wears boots ever, because as I said, not just pic taking is it a much better look but with AO’s it is a life saver.
Anyway don’t forget the Fleur skin is limited time only so get thee to a DEMO.
