With only a few days left in April, there’s still a surprising number of events that have not been open long and will be ending at the end of the month. A bit like stardom for some people I’d expect. Short lived fame, but fantastic nonetheless. Today I’m sharing a couple things you can find at ROMP and a hunt gift for the Fame & Fortune Hunt. Heads up, I’m featuring an item with adult poses along with singles and couples cuddles.

Sometimes with the right clothes, we can feel like one of the stars we so admire. For the Fame & Fortune Hunt, ~*Moolala*~ Continue reading

Born to Be Wild at the Cart Sale

25917919826_267b8445ea_o

With the onset of spring rolling around, there’s lots of bright and happy dresses being pulled out of the closets and great sales going on. One of my favorite sales events is The Cart Sale @The Wash which offers all items for 10 lindens with the option of one item being 50L. Right now Spring Freshness is the theme of this round’s Cart Sale and there certainly is a lot of spring fever going on. I, for one, loved exploring the grittier side of the theme, which led me to get back onto my bike for a little ride around a new roleplay sim called Dark Edinburgh. Details on that in a bit.

Roped Passion is offering a wonderful selection of one sleeve tops and pants sets for 10L. The outfit I’m wearing is the 50L version that comes with matching heels for Slink and Maitreya feet. The outfit itself comes in many different mesh versions so you can find the best fit. Each color comes with standard mesh sizes as well as fitted meshes for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza bodies. I had no issues with fit and feel really sassy in it. Small detailing over the pants and top add a bit of sparkle without making it too girly. Biker and rocker girls will love this outfit. NOTE: Shoes are only included with the 50L version.

Another designer that took a different perspective on spring was Drusilla Dethly of !The Little Bat. You won’t find any flowers on her new dress or bow. No, you’ll find bats. Bats cover the cute short skirt and one takes center stage on the cameo bow. Both are only 10L at the Cart Sale. For shoes, I decided to pair the dress and bow with my new Mary Jane pumps from The Dark Fae. I really do adore these shoes because they are not super girly…or rather too nice girly.  The bow is cute, but the spikes and little skully on the heel add the perfect touch of goth to keep things fun and quirky.

Lastly, my nails are from [:Rad Designz:]. At the Cart Sale, there are 5 different styles of nails and each style has 6 variations. I’m wearing the Beaded Hearts on my Slink Casual Hands. All nail appliers come on one hud for easy application for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink hands. Bonus, the nails are also omega compatible. Buy each style for just 10L and have fun with your new sparkly fingers.

Lastly, I wanted to share this new roleplay sim that opened up not too long ago. It’s called Dark Edinburgh and it’s based on the Vampires of Masquerade roleplay from real life. Characters can be vampire, werewolf, mages (witch/wizard), or human. The roleplay is set in modern day Edinburgh and looks pretty cool. Check out the sim here and their website about the roleplay here. EDIT: Sim and website no longer available.

I’ll be sharing more from the Cart Sale soon. And don’t forget the Chicken Egg Hunt is still going on. Check out previous posts here and here for more info. Until then, happy Spring and happy shopping! 🙂 ❤

A Bright Sunshiny Day with the Chicken Egg Hunt

bright-sunshiny-day_25411429270_o

If you’re like me, you’re looking out your window and hoping to see a bit of sunshine. Are you ready for spring? I know I am. Easter is a bit early this year, inspiring visions of spring, and you can see its effects everywhere. Fi’s Hunts has a hunt going on this month called The Chicken Egg Hunt and it will continue from now until the end of the month. So I’m hopping right into some sneak peeks of goodies to share with you all!

GET FROCKED is offering an adorable blue dress for The Chicken Egg Hunt. The blue is light and soft like a clear sky. Looking closer, you’ll see the dress is covered in little prints of baby chicks. What could feel more spring-like than baby chicks? Standard fitted mesh sizes are included along with fitted meshes for the Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza bodies.

Looking to do some gardening? Simply Shelby is offering a sweet garden patch with little flowers and freshly hatched chicks. Rocks border the edges to keep things neat and tidy. This cute patch would look darling along the front of any home.

As a nice accent to any garden or just a cute decorative piece for your porch, {Sickly SWEET} designed some clay pots for this hunt. Flowers tumble out of them as they remind us that spring is on its way.

Happy Hunting and see you in the next post!

Addicted to Love: Add Some Red Hunt 3 Continued

2016 - 02 - Add Some Red Hunt 3

Hello everyone! I’m bringing you more peeks into the hunt gifts from the Add Some Red Hunt 3 that you can find across the grid for free for February. Details for the hunt, Start Point, and links to the website and hints will be above the pictures.

Although somewhat inspired by Valentine’s Day, so many of the gifts are suited for many occasions or day-to-day wear. There’s less than a week left to grab these goodies so don’t delay!

One of my favorite finds from the hunt is this little red dress from [D.o.R.k] that comes in standard sizes and fitmesh. Paired with some of my new favorite heels from Mishmash Fusion, this dress is great for a day on the town with the girls or a lunch date with that special someone. I had no issues with fit on my Maitreya body with the fitted mesh option so I’m sure all you ladies will love it.

Mishmash Fusion’s hunt gift is a lovely textured red and black dress you could dress up for a date night. Along with the standard mesh sizes, Myst included fitted mesh for Maitreya, Slink Physique & Hourglass, and TMP bodies. Guys are in luck too because there’s also a men’s outfit that is not just another suit! It’s quite nice and badass so you better grab it while you can. With the dress from Mishmash Fusion, I’m wearing the hunt gift from Redrose Jewelry. These beautiful rubies will sparkle and catch the light as you dance the night away or add to a regal gown for formal occasions. My nails are painted with omega applier polish from Hapi*Rabi. Three shades of red with a lace-y/dot looking tip pattern keeps your nails looking flirty and fun.

The couch set I’m sitting on is another hunt gift for the Add Some Red Hunt from my friends at =EC Designs=. It seats two couples or four singles and has a nice selection of sits and cuddles. If you have a large room you need to fill up with a low number of prims, this is a great option. Bonus is that there’s a cute fire pit, a functional lamp, and cute picture frames for decoration.

Bombshie has designed an elegant dress for the hunt that I think would be most appropriate for an evening out. The fit was perfectly snug to show off every curve. Behind me is the full perm animated texture from SANNA that would be lovely for profile pictures or atmospheric effects.

For my last outfit, I decided to just chill on my Lit Heart outside in a t-shirt and jeans. The top is from Euphoria Couture’s hunt gift and comes in two versions. Across the front is the text “Addicted to Love” and well… Aren’t we all? The fit is quite snug (I had to fit size my boobs down to wear size M) but otherwise it’s a great top for casual days.

Hurry and grab these gifts while you still can and look out for more posts from me again soon. I’ll be blogging next month’s Fi’s Hunt as usual but I’ve also been invited to blog for The Wash Cart Sale in March where almost everything is 10L. So excited! See you soon peeps!

Made to Love: FLF, Add Some Red Hunt, and Valentine Treats

2016 - 02 - Add Some Red Hunt 3

Valentine’s Day is less than a week away and I’ve been drowning in goodies so sweet you could eat them. Today I’m sharing clothing from Mishmash Fusion, =EC Designs=’s Kiss My Store hunt item, gifties from the third Add Some Red Hunt, and a couple Fifty Linden Friday deals. Details for the Add Some Red Hunt 3 are below.

Mishmash Fusion has released for February a selection of outfits inspired by the sweetheart candies popularized by Valentine’s Day. I’m currently wearing the Romantic versions of the knotted t-shirt and jean combo but there’s also Dirty and Anti-Valentine’s flavored ones as well. Guys are in luck because Mystical made Mens’ Romantic and Anti-Valentine’s t-shirt sets too! Buy each color version you like or the fatpacks. I simply adore how these tops look especially when paired with Mishmash Fusion’s Love in Itself Heels for Slink High Feet. The heels have hearts on the back and front, lending a touch of playfulness to any outfit. My nails are painted in one of American Hunni’s omega nail appliers for the Add Some Red Hunt 3. The hud has a lot of pretty polishs to make your nails sparkle. If you are unfamiliar with omega appliers, check out this website for more details.

My house is decorated with lots of goodies from several events going on this month. =EC Designs= is part of the Kiss My Store hunt and are offering up the lovely sofa I’m sitting on with my sister. It has single poses and several couple poses that would be cute for cuddles and pictures. So go find those lips to find the prize!

For the third Add Some Red Hunt, {Sickly SWEET} created a cute privacy screen with knick knacks and a lamp to put in an empty corner or to divide a room. Chiana Oh made this adorable ladybug pouffe seat that is perfect for a kids playroom or just a fun conversation piece in your home. I also discovered this cute bunny tip jar from Tipsters that I shrunk down to fit on my side table. Decor or tip jar, up to you.

For Fifty Linden Friday, I could not pass up on the Spilled Candy Hearts or the Lighted Pathway from +Half-Deer+. Piles of the sweetheart candies make for perfect kitchen decor and the lighted pathway works for a path or wall decor. {what next} released an adorable low prim bookcase and set of tables. I have been looking for a bookcase like this for awhile so this was a steal.

I will be posting again with more goodies to find in the Add Some Red Hunt 3 later. Don’t forget the Suck it, Cupid! Hunt event is February 13 and I blogged two hunt gift previews here. Happy Tuesday and happy hunting!

Down in the Underground: The Black or White Hunt

Hello my lovelies! I hope your new year is off to a good start. New Years always brings about the reminder that we can change and we have choices. Choices that have much power to influence our future. (I’ve been drawn to the Dark Side hehe) Fi’s latest hunt is the Black or White Hunt which offers two hunt paths to choose from. Black is difficult while white is easy. All shops have two gifts set out, one for each path, but they ARE NOT the same gift or recolored versions of the same thing. So what will it be? Black or White? You’re welcome to do both paths of course and why not? The gifts are amazing and I’m going to share a bit about what you can find. FYI hunt links and info below the pictures.

At Mishmash Fusion, the black gift offers an outfit for women and men. They are so well done as always that I’m dragging my husband to get the men’s as soon as I can. The top for the women’s look is a jacket/top combo so there’s no worries about side boob if you’re wearing a mesh body like I am. Myst, your textures are amazing as always! 😀

My lovely little black dress is from Get Frocked’s black path. Fit was Purrfect and the look? Sexy. You could easily wear this for a date night or make it casual with some leggings.

The lovely Fiona of Fi’s Creations made a darling little dress. Layered sweetly with a cute bow on the waist, you will be doing twirls in this mini dress like I was! Pair it with the right heels to make this a great statement outfit.

My gray dress with the side slit actually came in two versions. The other dress that is included with this one is essentially the same but it is covered in the same pattern as the faux belt on this one. An included leaf necklace with a color change hud completes this look. It’s a touch provocative with just enough class to keep it balanced. I personally cannot wait to see what else Faerietale Designs has to offer in future hunts. (Please Faerie!!!!)

Euphoria Couture is the designer of the last outfit I’m sharing in this post. I was a little worried about the high waisted pants looking odd on me but damn, they make my legs look awesome! This is a great outfit for the working lady on the go. It’s classy and fashionable without feeling stiff. Bonus points for making the zebra print look amazing!

Lastly, the gazebo I’ve been taking all these photos in is the white hunt path gift from =EC Designs=. *waves to Cara and Jaxx* I love it you two! It’s a heavenly piece to sit and think or have a quiet cuddle with a loved one while watching the water. The arched columns are beautifully crafted to surround the pool and its benches. Go find it!!

Happy hunting everyone. And remember there’s two paths to try. Good luck! 🙂

Ice Inside Your Soul

 

And who do you think you are?/Runnin’ ’round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts/And tearing love apart

You’re gonna catch a cold/From the ice inside your soul

So don’t come back for me/Who do you think you are?

Jar of Hearts, Christina Perri

I am no Cinderella, but I certainly love dressing like her. But in this gown I feel more like the Snow Queen. Beautiful and aloof. Ready to steal everyone’s attention then disappear with nothing behind except a footprint in the snow.

Cinderella would have left her glass slipper behind. Cinderella’s prince would have found it and rescued his princess with the help of her glass slipper. But me? There’s no way I would leave my lovely glass slippers from Mishmash Fusion in the snow. These lovely shoes look lightly frosted with little etches all over. A decorative spiral and curved piece on the back and small piece on the toes add a touch of fairytale magic to these whimsical heels. The strap across the front insures no loss of footwear while you dance the night away with Prince Charming. I just love these darling Slink shoes.

The gown I’m wearing is from Evie’s Closet and comes in a few other colors. I had no problems with sizes with this dress which includes several sizes. It’s elegant and formal enough for any event you might attend. I simply adore how the texturing of this gown was down to look light and airy, as if the skirt will twirl out as your dance partner spins you across the dance floor.

Around my neck I’m wearing a necklace given to me by my own Prince Charming for Christmas. This lovely locket comes with a menu to change metal color, gem type, and to play a secret message written on a notecard in the locket’s contents. As part of the Twisted Krissmuss gifts, I do not know if this will still be available after the event but Chaos, Panic, & Disorder has beautiful jewelry so I wanted to share a special piece I was given. Twisted Krissmuss ends January 11th.

I hope everyone’s new year is going well and I will try to post more regularly now that the holidays are over. Until next time lovelies. 🙂 ❤

I’m Wide Awake: More Magic from the Elven Forest Hunt

23896819995_8e1e691078_o

I’m wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I’m wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no

Wide Awake, Katy Perry

We’ve reached the end of 2015 and I must admit I am not sad to see another year go. There is magic in endings and new beginnings. Life and death continue in a constant cycle that can never be undone. Unless you’re not mortal that is. Follow me into the forests of the Fae and elves. Take each step with care; the fair folk don’t take kindly to those who can’t play by the rules…

Only two days left of the Elven Forest Hunt.  I braved the maze created by the designers of =EC Designs= and managed to find all the clues to win the prize protected by the dragon at the end. If you’re feeling confident, the main maze prize is an exclusive edition of the main hunt prize. While I like the main prize, I’m always ready for a challenge, and the thought of having a prize that will never be offered again? Count me in. The Druid’s Haven is a large orb structure with a bit of magic inside.  The logs and leaves all have single and couple animations. Unique to the maze version of the prize is that the crystal orb changes colors.  Add this piece for an enchanting effect on your garden or hidden sanctuary.

When I think of faeries and elves, green comes to mind.  The creators of some of the clothing must have thought the same.  Lady Gwen’s Gown from Cheeky Parrot Boutique is a beautiful robed gown with a hood for those nights when you need to cast a little love spell on that certain someone or brewing potions kept in bottles from Independent Objects…er I mean seek Mother Gaia’s help in the prosperity of the garden…A men’s cloak is also included.  Get Frocked has a cute dress with an elf on the skirt; it’s not too formal so it’s nice for exploring in the woods or on the beach barefoot much like the elves do.  Add a pair of heels or foot gems and you’re set for a Fae wedding.

Elsewhere in the world, in lands where snow covers the floor, what do the faeries wear? Ollies Follies created a short dress that fits snugly on the body.  Boots and a men’s tunic is included, but you may want to look for some pants to keep your bum warm.  Snow faeries aren’t bothered by the cold and rest in snow flowers like the one I’m sitting in.  The flower from Love Everlasting Plantpets is animated with a few different sits and snowflakes swirling down from the sky.  It’s perfect for winter decor in a garden empty of spring blooms to give hope for new life to come.

Upon the Highest Bough

 

Upon the Highest Bough

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away, ooh

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star
Upon the highest bough

So many events! So little time.

I’ve recently stopped by a few places like Arcade and The Tannenbaum Holiday Market for winter and Christmas themed decor and other goodies

If you haven’t heard, Pixicat has a new Fifty Linden Friday sweater up for grabs. Winter cozy and a touch holiday themed, this sweater comes with a texture change Hud for a few color options. All standard mesh sizes are included with some of the most popular mesh body fitted versions as well. You’ll be looking fashionable at the Ugly Sweater parties with this cozy design.

Typically I steer clear of shoes that aren’t fitted for Slink or Maitreya feet, but these boots from The Sugar Garden were to die for. There’s plenty of color choices for both the base and laces but these do not come with a texture change Hud. I left The Tannenbaum Holiday Market with a pair in white and the mocha ones seen here. While you’re there, try some of the gachas for cute baubles to put on your Christmas tree or just as fun knick knacks.

Also check out Collabor88 for some fantastic winter decor and clothing. The woodstove and a lot of the associated decor are from {what next} which really suited my living room. Warm up your hands and set the kettle on the stove for hot cocoa. Don’t forget to hang your stockings for Santa to fill!

The Arcade also has fun winter and holiday items along with the Season of Giving gifts from participating merchants. Right now I’m wearing one of Spellbound’s gacha hairs that comes in two hat versions (Blizzard or Chilly), and varying hair colors. Both hairs will keep your head warm and looking cute with the attached hat.

Remember to stay warm this season!

Cold as Ice and Black Friday Sales

It’s Black Friday Weekend, and the stores are having great sales on many of their items.  Two of my favorite shops, Magika and Delirium Style, are having sales for a limited time.  Naturally I could not pass up a bargain. 🙂

For Black Friday, Delirium Style is having a 60% off sale for the whole weekend. I decided to get this cute top and vest combo. It comes with a Hud to change the colors of the top and texture of the vest.  One of the reasons I like this top is that it looks like something I own in real life and enjoy wearing.  One problem I have sometimes in sl is that I still like to find clothes I would wear in real life.  A lot of the clothing for women can be a bit more provocative than I’m comfortable with in either world, so this piece was really nice to see.

Magika was invited to be a part of Linden Lab’s 12 Days of Savings event on Marketplace.  Lots of designers have nice discounts on some of their marketplace items for this event.  Long and flowing in gorgeous waves down the back, this hair is great for any day you just want to brush it out and let it do it’s own thing.  Hair has a mind of its own sometimes and I was more than happy to let it flow.  On sale for a limited time, Empty Gold 03 has a Hud with dipped dyed hair with just the right blend of colors.

Also be sure to check out the Thrift Shop.  It’s open until November 29th and :{MV}: has some awesome slink high winter boots for sale that will be sure to keep you looking stylish and warm.  Functional fashion is the best.

Don’t miss out on the savings and have fun shopping. 🙂 ❤
