Everyday girl

Newness from even.flow, its been a while but this was well worth the wait. This is the “everyday sweater”, on sale at the With Love Fair. It comes in a variety of colour tones to choose from. As it’s almost Vday I thought red would be cute ! There is a big fat buckled belt that slides around your waist, and a white trim to the neckline. Lovely loose casual fit. What got me really excited is, you actually have two outfits in one parcel !

Wear it as a sweater dress, or as above, with the jeans add-on. It’s all one piece, you just need to change alphas (both in the pack) How über cool is that?! I love that designers are giving us a lot more bang for our bucks these days, buy one item and get more yay. My hair is new from Monso, I love love LOVE monso and despite having quite a small selection of styles, I think I own all but one of them *grin*. This is available at Collabor88 only currently, and the sim is stuffed with people, might pay to wait a few days to go grab it.

I HAD to treat myself to the bouquet of chocolate strawberries ! Why wait for a guy to buy you what you so so so want huh? I saw these on flickr a few days ago and just knewww there were for meee. You can use them as decor, my bunch is on a pouffe in my lounge (only 3 prims), or use them as a prop, add them and you’re animated to hold them, purrrfect! These are on sale at collabor88, so head on over and love yourself  ❤

The Challenge Goes kitsch !

I’ve been impatiently waiting for this round of The Challenge, as its Kitsch and gawd I lurve that. I even had to log in from work to see a package that had arrived from [Breno] ! (YES I get that excited) Was sooper chuffed to see that it was a Marilyn inspired item – retro! Imagine this in a room, focal point, glossy lips, ciggy hanging out – LOVE it. Uber low prim, coming in at 2Li, naturally I had to squeeze in shot…

…as I wanted to show off a coupla things Id recently bought and had given for review. Lust after my boooots , mmhmm my first purchase since getting the Slink high feet at Shoetopia. These are the demi boots by Slink, come in a range of colours (the donation colour being OMG pink squeee) Superb styling and just what I was hoping to find for Winter. My skirt is an older release from coldLogic, such a classic little piece, tight fitting mesh skirt, perfect length, called “page” and available in a heap of other shades. The short sleeved sweater top is a new release from Somnia, there is a light and dark pack “swanky shell” is the name and this is the grey from the lighter pack. Somnia is always such brilliant value so go check it out.

I also must do a big fat shout out to Mock Cosmetics. I such a rubbish blogger and rarely mention everyyyything I’m wearing. Mock has saved me an absolute fortune in skins to be honest. I buy her makeovers mostly : because I’m a) lazy b) they rock. A makeover usually changes lips,eyes and sometimes cheeks. You wear it as a tattoo layer, et voila – totally different look for the skin you’re wearing!

You can also get lips creams, glosses, eye liners, blush and more ! The changes to your face can be subtle or dramatic, depends what you fancy and SO affordable. I usually go for a very natural new skin these days, as I know I can vamp it up with my makeup layers. I treated myself to two new “makeovers” yesterday, 1st photo is Golden twilight Winterberry, I also added a very light slick of Smolder crema lip colour, 2nd photo is a makeover called  Iron & Fire Sahne – now both of these are fairly low-key, which is what I wanted, but there are heavier looks available also, most of which I do own !

The Challenge – its Industrial strength !

A new round of The Challenge begun a few days ago..Ive been a bit of a slow poke due to real life stuffage…BUT…I do have some bits to share with you today. This months theme is “Industrial”, I wasnt sure what to expect those wily designers to come up with ! Doesnt sound very girly swirly, however, you never know whats gonna pop out of their minds.Ive tried to squeeeeze in as much of the bedroom set by Cleo Design as I can ! It’s a ginormous set, with a brilliant bed crammed with great poses…theres a linen basket, wall art, posters, and….

…the most adorable bedside cabinets. I especially liked the corroded/ aged look of the hinges on these. One touch and the top and lower door swing open, one has a few decor items already inside (which are not hard linked so you can remove them to save prims!).

There is also a pallette style occasional table, complete with his & hers mugs, magazines etc..and a fully loaded tray with yummies on it.

Lots of new designers have joined The Challenge this month hurrrray! One of them being ” Studio Sidhe”, who came up with this rather unique take on the theme of a manequinn…its not like those ones you stuff in a corner for prettiness, it actually makes YOU the manequinn…and has three different poses contained within , bizarro but neat! In the box you’ll find a tattoo layer to wear that makes you all “manequinny” (that’s SO is a word). Also above is fantastic pipe lamp form Kuro…a real piece of statement style,lights turn on and off and its lowwww prim. The chair is from %Percent, subtle colours on the seat and some brill poses.

FollowUs is also in this month..and as usual a detailed piece is on offer “The Factory Desk”. Its verrrrry masculine, yet I can sit at it and look all professional too. The set comprises of the draughtsman’s desk, which is lovingly faithful to the real life ones. Boxes with decor, a guys jackets slung over the board and a football helmet also. The stool has the poses in it, sooper thing is…its pretty lowww prim too !

Another new designer in this round is Dysfunctional Designs, they have a superb set out for sale , with which you can build your own mine ! Mhmm, all sizes and shapes of railroad track, for the gorgeous little carts (also provided) The carts come full and empty, some have silver, gold or coal . I made up a small section to see how it all worked and fitted together, it was SO simple . Uhm had a little crash at the end of the line though ! Grab these and make an interesting space on your land..it wont eat up your prims allowance as most is only 1- 2 prims a piece .

Last up for today, a collection of tasty Industrial decor items to spruce up your space. I really love the wall art from [Breno] this round…simple but effective, it says its bearings BUT..I think they also could be pebbles, and I’m going to place this in my bathroom (so there:P). The rest of the items are by another new to this event designer “Little House of Curios”, it’s a big set of separate pieces…a trolley, chair (heaps of great poses) the fan wall art (LOVE it!) and the gas bottle on wheels. This set would look SO fab in a garage or warehouse …btw…big shout out to [bauwerk] whose skybox for this round,  got used to the max for my photos! It’s a fantabulous build, so atmospheric and totally cool textures….only 44 prims !

Also in this months round is [bauwerk], the piece is a starfish hammock seen above..I just couldn’t do it justice in one single snapshot…the texturing on this is incredible…truly…go and have a looksy and check out the underside of the starfish ! There are two versions in the box..with a stand and without, lovely poses too…just right for lazing about on by the sea.

!!FOLLOWUS!! have a ginormous set for this month..the submarine dining collection. You all know by now my love of all things edible in SL…There is a long whitewashed table with two chairs (great poses in them). The table is laid up for dining…and what really caught my eye was…

…the level of detail on the tableware…the table runner has a retro nautical pattern and on the plate a perfect clam shell complete with pearl nestled inside …scattered over the table are shells, and a sweet hurricane lamp…totally romantic, I adore. Btw included is also a console / sidetable to match…told you it was a ginormous set !

If, like me you like to toss around cushions, you’ll like these from [hate this], the underwater pillow pals…purely decorative and adorably sweet…a skeleton fish, Mister Octopus and a clam shell ! 1Li each…go wild !

Now for something a little different but so on theme..this is by %Percent… a starfish bench and some darling little votive candles…pretty low prim and full of lovely poses that will see you relaxing in stylish comfort.

Lavender Hill Hunt

Lavender is such a delicate colour and one of my fav’s for spring…The Lavender Hill Hunt has begun and if , like moi, you love all things lilac…this is a fabulous hunt for you. The hunt runs from 25-Feb to 10-Mar and features gifts from a diverse range of stores: from fashion to decor, from accessories to poses, there’s something for everyone. There is a microscopic charge of 5L per gift…SO worth it ! Above I’m wearing the glorious maxi dress being offered by Intrepid…such a classic shape & style…demure and feminine….the chair is from Breno…its made me laugh ! A really great selection of poses for both male & female…sooper cute..

Next up is another stunning gift, this time from Immerse. The cami dress is sweetly sassy…with a flared hemline and deep puff gathered sleeves. I teamed it up with the gift from SIGMA Jewels , which is a beautifully crafted necklace on a fine silver chain…plus one of the three hunt gift makeup products from Adore & Abore, a rich dark lilac eye shadow…

I also picked out this lounge set to share with you from the vast array of goodies you can grab…funky huh?! Its made by a new-to-me store called  “Akeana’a Architecture”. The item comes in a rez box…which makes it easy peasy to get it all in the exact location…the chaise has quite a few poses to choose from…its verrrrry different from what Id usually go for…but the tones of lavender and purples work so well I loved it.

More decor, this time from an old favourite of mine [CIRCA], always such attention to detail, and this is no different. Dont miss out on this gorgeous pouffe…not only a truly stunning texture and colour but its got soooo many delectable poses ! The shadow box table is interesting…look inside to see all the tiny trees and grass…you actually get two versions of this…the short one as above and a taller one.

even.flow yay! They are offering as their gift a handy-dandy blouse that will certainly jazz up your existing wardrobe pieces…worn over crisp white trousers for spring…zesty ! Beautifully shaped sleeves and a wrap belt…I adore.

Last up for today…is this fun chunky sweater from Leri Miles Designs…you get two colour versions in the box which is pretty cool…both with a sort of shabby vintage feel to them…complete with missed knitted stitches that lends it a realism I love ! Zan has some more to show from this hunt so get your huntin goggles on and start searching out the goodies !

I have a couple more items to share with you from The Silver Lining Hunt yay! I did go search for both of these, but as usual failed to find them. Luckily for me both designers kindly sent a review – so thankyou – phew ❤ Above is the gift from Pestique…something very close to my heart and also something I see most days at work…I can tell you this is as close as it gets to a professional kitchen set up…absolutely fantastic…would really liven up your SecondLife kitchen…stainless steel that is sparkly clean…pots, pans and even some milk & cookies…brill !

I’m pretty sure Player will adore these as he’s SUCH a ginormous geeeeeek…(as am I really), these fabbo space invader prints are the gift from Breno…you get them separately or joined in a row…I shall have to squeeeeze them in at home!
