PixelDolls at Port Seraphine

A lot has happened since my last post, I apologize for being a little distracted. Also I would like to introduce my new friend Neve. She was a lovely gift from my sweet Chicco to keep me company. I love her, she is my baby. I like her so much that I have hardly been able to put her down. She is making her debut in this post.

That being said I have been wanting to blog on PixelDolls for a while simply because of the volume of quality freebies I recieve from this place as a member of the subscrib-o-matic. So many in fact was not able to have pictures for all of them. When I went to post the first time they were rebuilding the sim, so I waited and now here it is. (since the writing of this they have remodeled yet again) PixelDolls is actually several stores in one and you can find all that you need to get your av looking great. Everything from full avatar packages to bruised skin, clothes, shoes , hair, anything.

PixelSpa, featuring Stella di Rocci skins , is where you can get skins in a wide rang of tones and makeups. The skins range in price from 250L for a single tintable skin up to 500 for a multi-pack with many make-up options. For those that do not want to be perfect all the time there are skins that have sunburn, bruises and scars for 250L and they have skins for men and women.

Also located in the same place is PixelSalon you can get hair for 100L and it comes 18 color hud. There are several styles available and they also offer huds that will give your hair additional color options. They offer fades, streaks and 2 different kind of tipped colors. The posibilities are endless. To complete your look they also offer eyes here for 50L a pair and there are 45 colors to choose from.

PixelMen offers high quality, affordable, avatar fashion for men. Complete outfits range from 100L to 200L, and 50L-75L for separates there are also boots available for 225L.

Avatar offers complete avatar packages with all the trimmings. Each full package contains an outfit with accessories , body, hair, skin, eyes, and an animation replacer all for 250L. WOW. With 32 options, 21 for women and 11 for men, it would not be hard to find one that is to your liking.

PixelLounge has become one of my favorites. Have you ever wondered where PixelDolls things go when they are retired? Well wonder no more they go to PixelLounge where they are marked down to 100L each. There are many styles to choose from casual wear , cute dresses. There are also pant suits that you can get. I have several things from here. I love it.

LoveLace Lingerie is also part of this and if you are looking for beautiful details and rich textures in your lingerie then this is the place for you.

PixelDolls has such variety there is something for everyone there. Everything from sci-fi/fantasy wear, to formals and causal wear.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy wear includes some lovely beaded gowns, silks and gorgeous belly dancing wear, with lots of peacock feathers. Very detailed and lovely. There are even some belly dancing poses and ao's available. If your fantasy is to be a ballerina they have you covered there too with nice tutus and ballerina ao. Prices up to 300L for clothes and 950L for ao's.

If your needs are for something a little more formal the gowns and dresses start at 150L. Causal wear outfits range from 125L-275L. Also the little things that tie it all together, hats and shoes.

As far as freebies go I have to say that this place is top rate. As a member of the subscribe-o-matic I have recieved many lovely pieces from PixelDolls. Also in the store there are some freebies that anyone can pick up. I love the attention to details and very rich textures that are used on the clothes. I have many things from this shop.

Just like the store, there are a lot of things to be seen on the sim of Port Seraphine. Other great shops on the sim are Sin Skins, Sweet Dreams-latex fashions, IKI casuals by PixelDolls and Torridwear, LF Fashions , Chai Skins, FX , Sick n' Wrong, Fluff-N-Stuff, and Whitestar All Under One Sky. There are also 2 new stores open there 2811, and Tee minus.

When you go be sure to have a look around, the scenery here is breathtaking. All of the stores are on islands suspended in the sky. There are beautiful sculptures, a volcano and some interesting flowers. There is even a weather station that you can go to that has weather that changes. There was even a thunderstorm when I was there complete with puddles to splash in and all.

While I was there for this post I happened to bump into fellow Fashion Consolidated Cafe member Siyu Suen of Illusions. She was so adorable I could not pass up a chance to snap a pic of her. She makes mask and other lovely things. Do check out her store.
Many thanks to Nephilaine Protagonist whose incredible generosity abounds, I got yet another group gift just today.

I <3 Cupcakes and Romantic Joy!!!

Since this post was 2 weeks in the making, I figured that I will make it twice as nice by telling you about some fantastic freebies and perhaps the most beautiful place I have seen in all my time in SL.
First the freebies, when I happened upon the Heart Cupcakes tent in the remains of the goings on at the Gossip Girl sim not too long ago, I had no idea what I had found. I got the great freebies there and upon looking around noticed that all the cute dresses there were only 100L each so I decided to splurge and get one. then I grabbed a landmark and headed to the main store on the Popfuzz sim.

There were even more freebie dresses there and a gorgeous shop. They had many affordable options for the fashionista on a budget. Lingerie (45-100L), Separates (15-25L) on back wall, and loads of beautiful dresses (50-150L) most for 50L. Also if you are a fan of the baby doll dress you will LOVE this place. Also had noticed there that all the dresses I saw in the tent at that time are now 50L. They also had some skins (50-800L) and Shapes (350L). When I was there I went to have a look around to see if there were any places for cool pics and I found a tunnel that led underground I was not sure what I would find, but to my surprise there were even more great freebies there and many other things that seemed to be 25L and under. I thought that I had died and gone to freebie fashionista heaven. There were more freebies!!! Dresses, tops, pants, skins and even a little tastefully done lingerie. You simply must check out this place. For those lucky chair aficionados there is a chair locator board. Along with the things from Mimi Coral there were many things from Popfuzz Bamboo as well, who has a place with many cute things next door .

Now onto my other find, a cool place to explore and hang out. All the pics in this post were snapped at Romantic Joy. This place has to be the most beautiful place I have seen in all my time in sl. You can tell from the name that it would be a great place to take someone special but I was surprised to see that there were things to do for anyone. It would be as great a place to go if you were getting to know someone better or just wanted some quiet reflective time alone.

Romantic Joy is 44,000 sqm of land brimming with natural beauty and offers visitors many things to do and see. In the enchanted woods there is a couples hammock and a nice gazebo that has a intimate dinner, dancing and even a cuddle rug. The tree house had many beautiful views, a candle lit dinner with an great view of the castle, dancing and kisses. There are also many places just to sit and talk if you are getting to know someone better. In addition to that there is a very friendly parrot there you should talk to. If you are in more of a social mood then go to the bar for a drink or a round of pool with a friend. Outside there are places to sit and enjoy the scenery. There is even a spot where you can pet a kitten and relax. As if that were not enough there is a lovers lane, church and several places to dance. One of the places is high on a cloud with snow and a rainbow. Needless to say there are nice spots for couples and people on their own nestled all over the park, most with spectacular views of the sunset and moon. I have been there several times and collectively spent several hours there and I still believe that there is even more to see. This is also a great place to meet someone new. I actually met Chicco , my now good friend and helpful model in 1st pic.

If you love it here like I do and never want to leave then, if you have the linden you never have to. Romantic Joy now offers rentals or if you have your own land some very nice prefabs. At 3000/week for 1200 prim it is not within reach for everyone but well worth every linden. I was afforded a tour of one of the rentals by the gracious owner for Romantic Joy, Aniine Sustano. The house was gorgeous with beautiful and detailed textures . So spacious and inviting. Also there is a secret room for those times when you want to steal a little time with your lover or get away. This lovely gem is situated on almost a half of sim, outside of the house there is a large yard, small dance floor and lovely gardens . A lot for the linden. The same attention to detail and natural beauty was lavished on the house and grounds as the rest of the park.

I hope that this post was worth the wait and I truly hope that you will check these places out. I would like to thank Mimi Coral of Heart Cupcakes, Popfuzz Bamboo of Popfuzz and Aniine Sustano of Romantic Joy. I would also like to thank my dashing male models Chiccocecco Boa (1st pic) and Richie Stringfellow(last pic)

Yumminess at *Icing*

No matter what kind of girl you are there are times when you will need something to wear that will make you feel pretty and feminine. For those times you will find what you need at Icing. I absolutely love this place!! Miko Omegamu's designs are wonderful and have a classic beauty about them. They are soft and feminine with out being too fussy. It is the sweet simplicity of the designs that makes the things that I have from here among my favorites.

Her beautiful creations range from the finest evening gown to fun casual wear. The prices range from $195L-$250L. The one dress that was $350L was Miss Hathaway, that was inspired by the beautiful red gown that Anne Hathaway wore to the Oscars. It is truly breathtaking with a beautiful spray of roses across the chest and other lovely details.

There are currently 4 fantastic dresses you can get. La Vie Boheme is a skirt set that has a tank top and a flowing skirt, perfect for casual affairs. Petite Baiser and Night Mist are beautiful and classic designs . The same could be said for the latest group freebie-Poppy Love. In addition to those there are also some cute shoes and some other items available for free there. I always advise others to join her group as she is generous and has some great group gifts.

This lovely shop is located at Mischief Cove, it is like an old-fashioned board walk. Directly out front you can get a hot dog from a street vendor or get a coffee treat from Mischief Mocha. If that is not to your liking there is an area inside the store with cupcakes and tea. It is very charming. Get by there and get some of the finest freebies available in all of sl in my humble opinion.

When you tp in you will be at the front door, if you look straight ahead you will see the cabinet with all the goodies on display.












Thanks Miko Omegamu

Orange Watersilk Kimono by Orchid Dream

Today I picked up the Orchid Dreams Gift Box 2/18/08. It contained this lovely Orange Watersilk Kimono and also included the Simplicity Maiko hair!! While I was there to pick up this gift I had a look around. On the sim there was a small house with a place to sit and play tic-tac-toe with a friend. There is a lovely bridge where you can feed the ducks. If you are looking to get away from it all there is also a quiet place on the top of the hill to meditate and reflect on things when you need to.

Orange Watersilk Kimono and Simplicity Maiko hair both by Orchid Dreams

Here are a few others shots of this great sim and lovely gift from
.Also soon to open Kimono Museum of SL!!! I am looking forward to seeing it!! Orchid Dreams gives gifts often so be sure to check back regularly.

Thanks to Emeriselle Theas.

HELLO WEARY LINDEN-LESS FASHIONISTA'S

My name is Margaux Dufaux and I am fairly new to sl. When I first arrived in sl fate would have it that I would meet someone that would offer me a welcome pack to show me where to get good quality freebies that would transform me from a hot mess to just plain HOTT!!! (so I have been told). I was so inspired by their kindness and that of all the wonderful designers that offer these wonderful things that can help an av make it through on our ways to untold sl riches or at least until we have enough linden to patronize the designers that were kind enough to help us out in the beginning .......................and such is the great circle of life. Just looking to do my part to help out. If there is anyone that knows of something you think should be here please feel free to im me in-world.
