Thank you Voshie Paine for your help today. I was totally having a brain meltdown for skins with H, and felt wretched about that. Not only do I know the store I did feature, but I also picked up their Vintage Fair skin which is just delightful as a theme, but also for anyday wear due to its lovely softness but still very sexy to wear as a dressed up skin. Seriously when your inventory runs wild, like mine has of late, it is a nightmare. Seriously lovely designers who I love love, please stop putting symbols in front of your store names on your vendors… it was so cute back when two of you were doing it to be at the top of peoples inventories :P, but when everyone does it, and with different ones, you end up passing the same letters over and over again and things end up whacky.

So this is my H post for the wonderful Alphabet Challenge, with a little bit of Vintage Fair goodness thrown in, that way you get a sneak peak at some of the goodies you can expect to see at this wonderful event. I was given a sneak peak last night and it truly is a great range of stores, some that are new to me, and of course the classics. One item I got and am showing I did modify to make it less of a tunic and more of a mini dress, which is still totally in keeping with the theme, so YAY me lol.

The Heartsick skin is Marilyn goodness, and seriously have you seen anything about the new Marilyn Monroe Movie that Michelle Williams is starring in, I saw some on Ellen and she looks amazing. As I said the skin is totally in theme, and has OMG so many options for one make up, I had to actually read the notecard on abbreviations just to see what was what, because even though I did guess right on one, I wanted to be double sure. Make sure you try the demos and also check out the other add on layers/tats you can pick up.

The tunic as I said has been lengthened just pulling down the bottom slowly so as not to stretch out the texture. It is fun and flirty and great colouring and print. It also was the right colour for my glasses from Hatpins, both available @ Vintage Fair. The layout is huge, and I worked out my own method as soon as I saw it all. I did each middle section as a circle, first one then the other, then went around the outside. Then wash, rinse repeat. Also the middle stores are along the sim border so you can shop on the opposite sim, if it is too full to actually enter, while you wait.

Ok so I had to do a big G right – Alphabet Challenge FTW , what with me being so behind I got to kill two birds with one stone. Whimsy is still trying to get her F on, and I had hoped to do G,H,I at once like the others I have done, but seriously 13 pics for one letter was probably enough. If you want to see closer, and you seriously should with the skins make ups being beautiful and the shoes combos so much fun, then just click them to see the originals at Flickr.

Ok so with the skins I have featured GLANCE, they released three new skins at once last month, and I am loving the make ups and the freshness and as usual incredible diversity of the faces. There is also an asian inspired one called Poly so be sure to take the time to get as many DEMOS as you can and try them for yourself.

Now the shoes/boots, it didn’t take much thought to know it would be all GOS, and as I said being behind meant I had a stash to show. The Storm Sandals are really great open toed ankle boot style, the first feet in shoes I believe for Gos. The HUD is pretty cool too, making tinting easy as I just hit one of the presets and I was away. Then you also have the all colours and then the option to style your own, seriously fat packing is all win with Gos because of these features, you can seriously design your own looks so easily and there are so many base colours to choose from, his palette is way impressive of late. The Wellingtons or Wellies as we call them are wicked cool too, they are mesh and rigged so they bend with your ankle as all good Wellies should. I especially like that they have a kind of modern take on the traditional look, sort of like an old Wellie had a foot affair with a Croc or something lol. They also have an awesome ability to mix and match, and I know that I am not exactly splashing around in the rain or snow, but a fashionista has to be prepared right.

For my looks I mixed up a bit from a few brands on the right, some G*field, Gawk! and Gizza for the clothing. The pants are so cute and shiny, they are actually part of a set Mel bought me on one of his crazy Marketplace sprees, and while the set as a whole wasn’t really my style I do like the pants. I realised I am lacking in the G department for hair, so ran over to Gritty Kitty and Gauze and grabbed both styles…never ever sad to have to buy new hair. What really made me happy was the Gawk! highwaisted panties and bodysuits, being able to combine perfect colours to go with the camo print of the shoes and then top it off with the perfect necklace from Glow Studio, I liked the name of it and sure enough perfect companion pieces, bloggers fate for sure.

I just realised that Willow and her Posse have gotten up to I while I have been slacking, so I better get back into it, and push that Whimsy Winx while I am there.

Have a great day all, and don’t forget Vintage Fair is COMING SOON.

I am so excited about the First Annual Vintage Fair. A fabulous team has worked really hard to put this together, and I am looking forward to seeing some of the designers that don’t usually do vintage items broadening their range to include it for this event. For more information on this event get on over to CHIC Management and get all the great news as it happens. Also join the group or subscribo as the builder Aya Liotta has sent out a texture kit so you can cache the builds textures prior to visiting, which should be a great help.

See you there
