Old Store, New Store, 3 Boxes Full Store
Oh what a day of delightfulnessssss. First off a New to me store, with a NEW location and so many things that are just incredibly well made…what a delight. They are also having a special reduction on things later today as well as 3 fabulous HUNT items so easy to find – more info as you read.
Ok so not only did we have the newness, I signed them up for What’s New SL fell in lust and went back again with Whimsy, you can see her post HERE – if it is up yet, she does that time delayed thing. But we also have some awesome new from oldness, hope that they don’t mind being called old.
Surf Co. has a big release about to drop, you will see it scattered throughout the post. Which was perfect timing what with the gorgeous New Monica skins from GLAM Affair, it has both dark and light brows as default, with hairbase options as well as extras on tattoo layers. The skins make up this time around is a mix of both very subtle and deep night time looks…I am a bit enamoured with the baby blue and baby pink look, remember demo demo demo. Showing off skin tones with a new kini is always fun, and the retro inspired and named bikinis by Surf Co. are just awesome. Because of the style and the fuller effect in the bum, they will suit all shapes and sizes. Even those little cuties running all over SL lately…has anyone else noticed that kids are everywhere these days, so cute. There are lots of colours to choose from, more than even shown, so make sure you show some polka dot loving.
Now back up top pic, how sophisticated and divine is this combo. I am all up in love and Happy with Happy, yes that is the name of the store, and it had Whimsy and I right click buying everything in the store. The attention to detailing is incredible, so much so as to even make the inside of the sculpted sleeves a darker shade because it would be. The pants were my first love, and I didn’t pay any attention to the name until I unpacked them and WOOHOO they are called Little Miss Sassy pants lol how cool is that, meant to be I reckon. The fabric chosen, the style and cut, all are marvelous, where has this designer been hiding.
Another item from Happy is the posh wrap top, and it is just so beautiful, the work on it is great, and even though worn casually here with the great new Walkabout denim skirt from Surf Co. it is something that you could wear a long skirt or dressier pants with for a night out, it is just lovely. The shoes I have on are a recent release from Aoharu, and they are funk tastic, the colours complimented everything I am wearing so well, and I just love the shape, colours, textures and ease of tinting the toes to match the skin, I didn’t have to do anything but use one of the presets actually.
Showing the skirts again in the last pic, you can see that you can actually also wear them as stand alone shorts, which is always handy to have, especially to pull on over your bikini. The tops worn are also new Surf Co, and the ruffle detailing on these is pure Emma fabulousness. To get the full effect you will either need a jacket layer, or shirt and pants layer, so lucky her skirts come on the underpants layers too, so that I was able to wear the Preppy Cardigan from Happy over the tank from Surf Co over the skirt also from Surf Co…….layers make my world go arounddddddddddddd.
Ok he hasn’t been on all day my time that I have seen, but all during the pic taking for this post I wanted to IM Kavar of Exile and go OMG I LOVE IT. Not only is the hair fantastic, especially the second and third styles, even though I love tempest, it is the styles shown after that worked in such harmony. Exile last week released FOR FREE their whole colour pack of hair base tattoos…so now when fitting your hair, which I don’t need to do much of with Exile if ever, the layers just add a delicious hairline to the mix and with the Sasha OMG so amazing. Sasha is like the Lioness of hair, and yes I am fully aware that Lionesses don’t have manes but if they did THIS WOULD BE IT.
Finishing all the looks off I am wearing MOOD Jewelry, the work of MOOD has seriously improved since it’s opening, and I love that the pieces are both stylish and fashionable, with that added oomph of a really well put together appeal. Every release lately has been incredibly unique, and that says a lot about a jeweler in SL, because the norm is safe, but stylised pieces really help the customer stand out from a crowd.

Pure Juice no pulp
One comes up, one goes down…Skin Fair is coming to an end this weekend, but an another event is taking its place today.
Pure Juice is starting today and some of the items shown in this post will be available there. So much pink and blue, but with an event named pure juice it isn’t surprising that you would have such vivid colours available. Some older items too in the form of footwear today, the stompers that I love from The Abyss, and some old Juicy Slingbacks as the Juicy sims are hosting the event.
The hair that Exile made is just awesome, with cherries interwoven in the hair, I was explaining to Whimsy how expensive cherries were down here, and that our first box of the season is always auctioned for charity, this past year the 5kg box went for over a hundred thousand dollars, such an awesome thing to do for charity. The neon 80’s looking dress is part of the event also and totally looks like something from a video clip from that era for sure. Next to it I have on part of Tutti Frutti’s release at Pure Juice, there you have a blend of pink and blue, so cute, and the really subtle print on the tops of the jeans is a nice change.
Two lovely jewelry sets are from Mood and Carolines Jewelers, soft and sublte but definitely can be worn a little dressier, especially the pearls and floral set from Carolines called Antoinette. The blonde vintage bangs ponytail from Elikatira is actually a small pack available at The Dressing Room Blue as a guest item, so gorgeous and the price is wicked.
Lastly the skin is the latest from Belleza, the Melissa skin is as usual a beautiful face with 19 skins in the fat pack, with regular, cleavage, hairbase options and an extra 7 lipsticks so you can mix it up lots and lots, the eye make up in these skins is stunning, I am so loving the smouldering and smokey looks but with such depth of colour, the blues and greens especially are just divine. Make sure if you haven’t been to grab them yet, demo demo demo.
Pure Juice is a collaberation event with Chic Limited and the Juicy sims, an effort combining many incredible designers under one roof, don’t forget to look for info on how to attend, you wouldn’t want to miss out.

Here’s a story
Bring the basics back. When thinking basic T’s, Tanks and Jeans in an abundance of colours, I always think of places like Celestial Studios, LaLa FooFoo and now Jane. Jane is of course a new store name and new store in general to many residents, but the designer behind the brand is Janie Marlowe of a much older brand now run by another person altogether.
I am so glad that Janie opened Jane, a really nice collection that is growing steadily, and the work on the clothing is wonderful, finishing items so well even when covered by prims, it is a delight to shop there, even more so when you tp in looking in hope that she might have a tshirt in a colour close to what your looking for, and you end up walking away with a pack of 31 for 50L, on all layers. AMAZING DEAL! It is actually called the Layering Tshirt, and it really is perfectly named for just that.
While taking the pics of the new Baiastice Skin Marina, I stopped in my tracks when I got to this make up, that was it, I was not going to use any other for my main pic, it had to be this one. I was already in the red top as you can see slightly, and it was totally so easy to find the tshirt as stated, one tp and back again, in all of about 40 seconds if that. It was actually the easiest thing in the whole post, as I have been having rezzing and unrezzing issues for weeks now, but finally had to change viewers to stop the insanity, it took me seriously 3 hours to take those pics.
Well worth it though , if you are a lover of red lipsticks then the Marina skin is a must try for you at Skin Fair. It has an incredible tone range, the pale ones are gorgeous, and the make ups as you can see are very deep and seductive. If you are a Baiastice fan clothing wise, then you will totally enjoy these skins as they are a perfect combo.
Speaking of perfect combo’s the Fallen Tears necklace is just stunning and coming in both gold or platinum and diamond it has a simplicity that allows it to be worn casually and an elegance that can keep it on for dressier occasions, I don’t know the reason of the name, but for me the design has such a spiritual quality to it, something like being reborn, which I guess often after a big cry is how you can feel. Whatever is going on there it is a Must Have set by MOOD.
Once upon a time – some of you know this story – there was a girl – in her mid thirties lol – who came across a blog and fell in love. That girl contacted one of the owners of said blog and sent her a big texture begging to be allowed to participate, the texture was because the owner was so slammed with notecards all day that she worried hers would get filed away as she wasn’t new and she didn’t need new people hair lol.
So the adorable and ever so famous Six Kennedy responded within moments and said YES, then said she was going to contact the other partner of said blog and that is how Sasy met Garbage, who welcomed her with open arms, and an open mind and gave her the keys to the executive blogging room and it has been an incredible ride ever since.
Garbage Prototype has been around forever and ever and ever, he is so far from random anymore, but still is random by name, store name that is. I went for a visit late last night and probably grabbed a few of everything, the prices are insane. The styles are so very much like Random of old, but brighter and better with the amount of years tucked under his belt, and I for one am in hope that he makes hair again too. The top and the jeans are both from Random, and they are great, easy to wear pieces, the pants don’t have cuffs, but that is fine, because they are finished off well and come on both layers, so if you panic, you can tuck them into boots.
Don’t forget that the Garden City Relief Event is still on, that Vanity Universe Skin fair only has a few days left, and that Pure Juice is coming…

Corporate Chic – Sasy Scarborough – Look 1
Ok so the Garden City Relief Fundraiser is already on the go, I stopped by before this post and picked up a lot of great items. Some of which I am wearing in this post. I also ran around with Newdoll this morning and picked up some stuff from stores I adore, which allowed for a professional look that allows me to add to the Corporate Chic Challenge that Whimsy has going – it’s an ongoing challenge so that when people are looking for that kind of look they can visit the flickr group as a resource.
I love this Chunky Cardigan from Nylon Outfitters, it is so cute, utilising the system skirt in a brilliant way. I am wearing it over the top of an Indyra skirt that I just love, I don’t know exactly how she managed to make a pencil skirt with pants and prims but she did, and she did an awesome job of it…the skirt is part of a set though.
The delicate and beautiful bracelet I am wearing is from the New Zealand Garden City Fundraiser, from MOOD, it is made of Paua Coral which is native to NZ, and such a lovely piece, I am also wearing the gorgeous hair from Elikatira, also a fundraiser item, and only sold in the essentials pack for the duration.
To look all professionabubble I am wearing the recent Group Gift from Mon Tissu the Favourite Readers glasses, so Geeky Chic and it lets me see my new fabulous Mon Tissu shoes extra clearly lol. They are a perfect professional shoe, but so adorable that they work for all sorts of looks including vintage.
All of this wrapped up in the neat package of LAQs latest skin Susan, available at Skin Fair from Vanity Universe. You get all the make ups shown with hair base or none options, and you can always pick up the additional hair base and brow base tats from the main store. I had already taken all my pics and realised I should have worn the red tats I bought before, but I like dark brows light hair, I am fab like that.
Remember DEMO DEMO DEMO and take your man, because the latest Male skin by LAQ was just released and male skins from there are always delish.

Professional Gem
I am loving all the new viewers lately, but am having troubles unrezzing and rerezzing over and over again, seriously it took me all day to get these pics, but totally worth it. I wish I knew that it was definitely SL being laggy or that it was the viewer, or what, because it makes it rather difficult to fix if you don’t understand the issue. Mind you some pics I took 7 times due to the distraction of Celebrity and Whimsy in conference, those two are nuts, but I love spending time with other bloggers while working, you talk, you take pics, you unpack bags, or just sit in silence but know you can just shout out or start muttering about whatever when you want, it is really nice :).
The first dress I am wearing is so classy, reminds me of when I used to work, in the sense that it has a very professional look about it, and can be worn very simply or add accessories for a more put together look. Me myself would have to add a safetypin just under the zipper pull on the inside of the dress, because way back in the 80’s I had a dress with a front zip and let’s not go there with that story.
The long pulled back ponytail is another win from Raw House, the tail is extra long but not so full as to be messy. A sophisticated tail for people to wear working. The pigtails however are fun fun fun, so fun in fact that this version have the texture change option on the front side tendrils, and I had a lot of fun mirroring myself with them. You will also notice my beautiful silver jewelry from MOOD, they have such a great arrangement of items, and this set is one of those ones that you can wear casual or dressy, because it just has that oversized silver chunka chunk fabulousness to it.
Kicking it military style with the top and pants from L’Abel as well, the look is fun but still can be work wear if you were to add a layer underneath, to cover up that expanse of tummy. Lassitude and Ennui are responsible for the boots and they are divine, I can see these being the crossover boots that go from RP to mainstream fashion with ease…Lassitude has always been that way though, and I for one am glad to see they seem to be releasing more regularly of late.
LeLutka just this past day or so released the Gem skin, a more mature older sister if you will to Kit. The release is sold differently than in the past, and for those on a budget, you will love. The skin itself is done in two different packs, a base skin with four other made up skins – as well as curl lashes, cleavage, hair base and brows in dark and blonde and eye bags. Then you have the option of enhancing them with seperate purchases of lipsticks, liners and lashes. The liners I have only shown one of in the lipsticks pic which is the bottom one, and only showing half the lipsticks.
WIth there being 12 in the pack though adding that to your base skins and four made up looks in one pack, you end up with a further 60 looks from the one pack. The liners come in four colours and each of the Feather Lashes and Facial Gems are texture change, so again more and more and more looks. With the right kind of viewer you can even add attachments not just more tattoo layers, so you can combine gems and feathers and regular sculpted lashes, as done in the main pics and such an awesome look. So DEMO DEMO DEMO Gem and you just have to partake in some of the Gems and Feather lashes because they are so awesome and the price is crazy low.
