From Day to Night!!!

One day I was out scouring the grid for some great goodies to report and I ran into Teshan2222 Wycliffe, group member and newest model. I was looking for some things for a post and when I ran into her she looked awesome and she had on some nice goodies that I recognized and some I didn't so I asked her to pose for me and she came with 2 looks. One for daytime work and one for evening time casual.

First the daytime work look. I recognized right off the gift from MEB 0 button down corporate shirt w/ black skirt + bangle ($1L or free from the MACOS/HipHop mall). Lots of great goodies at this mall be sure to have a look around. Maybe more to come from this mall . Not to be missed. Added to that she had on Ginza - mini birdcage gold jewelry - necklace + earrings (Slice of Summer hunt gift - free) by Ginza Jewelry. I loved this adorable little necklace with great details. The sweet little birdy has a flower on it, soooooooooo kyoot. Also Zenith Fashions ballerina platforms (Slice of Summer Hunt gift - free) by Zenith Clothing. The finishing touches to this outfit are Free Speerit Eyes-10 colors look again (wearing Sea) - $1L, Alady prim lashes (free from Alady Island), Glance Adriana skin (was free from the mirrors hunt), and Damselfly - Fallyn-Brown Caramel (not free).

Carrying over the accesories and finishing touches into the evening for a more casual look she changes gears with low-cut sweatpants, cutoff top + shirt: Twisted & Spoiled group gift (free when you join group). She also added Cynful gloves kiss - white (not free).

Thanks to Teshan2222, all the great and generous designers and to all of you that support us. Enjoy and new post coming up soon including wrap up of our very first fashion show.

OMG Hunt - Now on!

OMG!!!! IT'S ANOTHER HUNT - Sneak Preview.

[ Margaux is chained to the studio, snapping like crazy, with Photo Shoots, so I am going to whet your appetite with a sneak preview before she does her main hunt article. ]  

So busy hunting, I couldn't even get to the printer, so here's the film roll sneak preview of the delight I found inside one of those lovely yummy cupcakes.

Margaux tipped me off so I hailed a cab and told the driver "step on it fast" to #096-(Spork) , luckily the hunting was not too difficult, so I unpacked and then quickly changed into the Summer blue knit tank top with skirt and lovely jewelry including bangles, necklace and beaded chain in copper, silver or gold.

Slipped on my HOC Apparel - Stubbers Mules clogs, absolutely fabulous value at a mere $L10.

Then dashed around to Calico Ingmann Creations (- Hair, Calico Kitty (57, 59, 21) for a free hairdo {Alora - dark brown} (free group gift ).

OMG now back hunting for more cake hidden delights.  

Zaara "Ethnic Chic"

I love Zaara's attention to detail and oozing quality, so couldn't resist snagging all I could afford before the recent sale finished.
This outfit just naturally went together and is my favourite casual ethnic chic sl kick-about.
{Zaara}, Zaara http://slurl.com/secondlife/Zaara/128/128/2
I got the Isis white shirt - delicate chic and sexy (see through), it's available in 9 colours.
Inka jacket brown with prim cuffs, collar and jacket, available in 4 colours.
Jeans (jewelled) indigo, these are just the best!

I picked up some fabulous dollarbie ::Duh!:: scarlett red clogs with scripted sound, ao and sizing. You can get other colours for $20 at Clover Main Store & Mall, http://slurl.com/secondlife/KatachiEast/194/169/23

Miriel the end of an Era

When I first started sl and I started to take notice of things and wanted to have some nice jewelry as a finishing touch to all the nice things I had to wear one of the best and most generous gifts I received was from Miriel. See previous post where these gifts were previously blogged on here.
Besides her exquisite jewelry Miriel Enfield is also well known for her photo real eyes. When I was training to become a model the trainer gave me a set of her eyes and they became the focal point of many photos of me to come after that. Also she offers many options. Unfortunately due to rl circumstances Miriel must close and with it goes all of her wonderful creations. If you are interested in owning a part of sl history you don't have long to get what you want of this place. Also there is a mini hunt going on there. I have the slurls for it and it is still very challanging but some really nice things so worth the work.. Be sure too to get a last look at a really cool build. The hunt gives you a chance to explore that.
Also found a little place called Yess Designs ..with a little help from Mr G.. Very generous designer offering many great gifts including these silks complete with jewelry and shoes.. check out it. Enjoy

Eyes: (Miriel) Standard Eyes - Pewter 1L as part of the demo pack
Hair : WindBlown (LightBlonde) from Aden ( now closed )
Skin: :::L'ORING::: Jorden skin//2B' free
Outfit: Yess Designs Free Dark Mysterious Silk

SL Discovery Hunt

The SL Discovery Hunt may well be the largest grid wide hunt in SL history. With 2 months to explore and discover SL and 500+ vendors... there is guaranteed that there will be something for everyone. This hunt started with a small idea, to showcase smaller stores that were sometimes over looked by other hunts in sl. Also to be kid friendly as to include some of the shops that cater to the kids at heart. With 11 "official" starting points to help spread out the participants of the hunt. The hunt is circular, so when you get to the end, the last notecard will direct you to the first location. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU START!! :) "Official" Starting Locations: There will be magnifying glasses that you will be looking for.

Quickie!!

Here is a super quick insomnia driven post, was playing around and happened to get this together and was too cute to keep to myself. Here is a really cute dress I found at a little place called Djunk! where just about all is free. I loved this sweet little Sharona babydoll dress. I like the colors and the textures on it but beware I realized when I was working on these pics that there is a 2nd skirt option and the top is a little sheer!! Still supa cute.. comes with sweet little hat and cool cane with animated textures on it. Here with it I have Indy & Co.: Black Pearl Necklace that I picked up at the new shop at Sxy2nd. Really nice mall and lots of really nice gifts. To finish this look up I have it with my own shape and :: Genesis :: Candace Apricot "Glitterati" skin (was set out as a one day deal), *Clover* Real Eyes #32 (I love these eyes) and = Hal*Hina = [almond] Hair -priscilla- (that was a special gift from the bunny hunt) Hope that you liked it. Also if you have found something super cute and would like to share let me know and you could be here. Well enjoy all and be good to each other.

A huntin' we will go!!

If you don't know it by now I am here to tell you that hunts have become big business here in sl and for those that love the thrill of the hunt there are countless chances to indulge on the daily basis. One of the Biggest hunts going on at this time is the Bunny Hop It started on March 27th and will end on April 19th. This hunt boast 100's of sl's best designers. I have not had a chance to get out to hunt as much as I like so I got the help of our fantastic group members, to show some of the fine booty available on this hunt. Tinka Bondar found some great things on the hunt and put together this charming look.. She looks like a little doll. First she made her own look out of 2 dresses.. she started with the top and undies from Twisted and Spoiled #104 to that she added the skirt and neck piece from the awesome gift at KyokoCouture #150. She completed this outfit with adorable shoes and black pearl bracelet from WhoNose #268. She completed this avatar with hair from W&Y #215 W&Y Bunny Hop GIFT , skin from Skin - Rockberry #155 [RockBerry] Megan Bunny Hop Hunt Natural , eyes from Sakurako #244 *sakurako* sky-Eyes (ocean), lashes from Deviant Kitties #50 [DK] Deviant Prim Lashes 01, and shape from PeppermintBlue #121 .::PeppermintBlue::.Pleiades Shape 190cm.

Also another fabulous group member on the hunt is maPia Dezno. She recently won Playmate's Playmate of the month, and to relax from all the hard work she did for the contest she hit the bunny trail. The clothing, ears, tail, legwarmers, belt, socks and bangles comes in the egg #29 found at *Dilly Dolls* store, from The Bunny Hop Hunt!. The cute easter basket can also be found as a part of this hunt, at -RC- Cluster, egg # 024, which also includes some other great thingies. These lovely pumps you can still pick up from Maitreya...just add yourself to the group (suscribe-o-matic) and you got 'em! totally worth it, they come in 15 shades! This skin was a gift from ! OCD Desings, they are currently having a huge sale until the store closes down for a period of time, so enjoy! The hair comes from [ :: HEARTCORE ! :: ], the style is called "Missy"
and last but not least, the stars body tattoos came from *Slinked Tattoos*, this one is called "Womens Full Body Stars Tattoo"
