Lace and Flowers

The following items are for charity and NOT free; however, I feel featuring them here will get some good exposure for the Wear Gray For a Day charity event.  The event is one of the small few that are proven to be legitimate, with approval from the charity itself and proof of such.  This shirt is part of an outfit from Eclectic Firefly and is a 100% charity donation item.  It also comes with gray pants!  The skirt is from Agnes Finney and is also a charity donation item.  I love how wonderfully realistic the flower pattern is.

Please see the Wear Gray blog HERE for more information on this event, which benefits the American Brain Tumor Association.  Look HERE for more information on the ABTA.

Not Mine, but my Mer Don't Care!

As a hair designer, I have always found it in bad taste for my avi to wear other hair designer's designs. This isn't to say that other hairs are inferior to my own designs, but I do it more as a business ethic. Now I do have a few alts, and I do enjoy buy hair for them. 

 I broke my rule today for the first time in many years(Helena obviously did wear other hairs before she started making them herself).This design was made my my sister, Cherelle Capra, of [CIRCA], formerly C&D Designs. Treebee, of The U-Neek, sort of bulldozed her right into the Crazy Hair Hunt, when trying to contact me IRL. 

Anyways, enough of that, on with the hair! 

Cherelle has helped me in the past, making accessories for my own designs, as I enjoy putting things in my hairs, so it isn't any wonder that she has filled hers chalk full of goodness. With the theme Flora/Fauna it isn't any wonder that the grind is seeing swimming mermaids rushing around collection these hairs. I was lucky enough to not have to go searching for it, nabbing it off my sis, and donning my own fins for take this inworld shot. 

 The Crazy Hair Hunt 3 is going on until the end of the month, with many great, unique styles, it will be sure to fill up your inventories, and hopefully your imaginations, bringing out your own hidden couture fashionista.

Happy Easter + guess what? Gavin talked me up to his cool new bunneh friends, so they agreed to show me their newest secret hangout: the Poche doughnut shack, i.e., where you can scoopie 3 free scrumptious parfaits (in strawberry, lime + orange) simply by clicking the signs out front.
And the Big Hair Giftie news is: a free double-cinched, double-ponys long style (featuring 4 color-change hairbands), in the full color faptack, by Truth (!) (yup I saw it + other sales infos here). I'm also wearing some fabby free winged sneakers; free new Easter-themed gifties by Olive Juice (also new today) + oodles of free or $1L cute bunneh + eggs basket accessories (many of which have already made the feed rounds, but are still worth a grabbie).
How did I find myself without my fave purple Peeps this year? Happy Easter love + fashionista kisses to all!

Ok, so who is that guy with beard?

He doesn't look friendly but don't worry, I was perfectly safe in that swimming pool and the guy is a friend of mine:)

I have an attractive deal for all of you addicted to pretty lingerie. Seldom Blue have a new prim Corset Collection on the shelves and is offering a cream set with half price and a purple one for just 1L$. I am just showing a simple version of both sets but you will get things like suspender belt, holdups and much more in pack.

 

Do you Color Challenge?

I started doing Luna Jubilee's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge on my own blog this year and I've managed to do most week's colors.  I enjoy it because I get to go through my bursting inventory and put together looks as well as enjoying seeing what other people have done.  Here's how it works: Luna publishes a color the week before and then the following week you put together a look based on the color.  You can use as much or as little of the color as you wish.  No one is going to judge you - it's all for fun.  Once you have completed your post you link it back to Luna's post for that color (she always posts hers on Sunday).  I think it is a great way for new bloggers to get started for a few reasons: You can use as much of what you already own, you don't have to be on all the feeds, you can gain exposure and you immediately become part of a larger group of enthusiastic bloggers if you are interested as there is an in-world group that is free to join.

The ever generous Pixieplumb Flanagan from Baby Monkey is offering her group members 50% off all shoes in specially designated venders that match or closely compliment the color of the week.  The group is only 10 L to join and if you activate your group tag you can pick up a whole bunch of shoes in the special color.  She has already put out next week's color, Seashell Peachwhich is a tricky one as it is almost white.  This is on top of all the group gifts she already gives and specials on new releases.  Have fun with the challenge!

Learning Mesh the Petite Way

My wonderful RL sister(Cherelle Capra of [CIRCA]) gifted me this petite avatar upon my arrival to the new sl. It was a big and scary concept to me, mesh hitting the grid, and how it would effect my store, but alas, this little creature made me feel a bit better.

With so few designer making things for these little mesh avatars, it wouldn't easy to make up a post on them, or so I had thought. Luckily I was pleasantly surprised, and did find enough things to clog up FreeStyle for a little bit, with all the epic tiny person cuteness!

The dress is from Evie's Closet. As with all her work, it is wonderfully crafted, the only issue being that the prim sleeve pop off when I have my hands on, and a girl needs her hands to do stuff, you know? In the pic below you will see the puff sleeve, with a handless(though you can't see) Helena. These little avis have a skin tint hud, which I had a tonne of fun with to get the right look for this set of shots.

The little mouth heart noms is a little gift from Heartistic. Little balls of light poof out of the noms, whih give you an even more mystical feeling while finding a flowerpot to live in.

DV8 also has joined the Petites bandwagon, and put out a bunch of outfits this week. Vasha was ever so kind as to make a gift, which are the bracelets I am wearing.

Last but not least is my fav find. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE eyes, so when I saw these I was so happy to have something easily accessible for my lil new me. You get 3 different colours in this generous gift from Painfully Divine. Each one went with the outfit, but I love the gold the best.

I have so much more to show you guys, so look out for a new petites post soon!

Pierced and Fierce

Just a head shot for you today.  I usually do shots from the waist up and here is my secret: I do from the waist up 1. to show better detail on the face/accessories/etc. because it's closer and I am too lazy to take a far away and a close-up for one post and 2. it means I don't have to wear shoes or pants or anything. LOL.  Now you know. :P 

My piercings are one of the current hunt gifts from Phoebe's Piercings.  It's really fun with the tiny little dangling skull and is mod to fit your face.  There are unisex hunt gifts in the store so the boys should check it out too.  My hair is one of several colors in the April Action Hair VIP group (250L join fee) and I love this store because they give so many gifts and they are always lovely.  My skin is by me, lol, for the Adore&Abhor VIP group (50L join fee.)  My eyes are from Banana Banshee for Wear Gray and there are lots of colors available. The event is a charity event and is one of the few events that I know are totally legit donation wise so make sure to check it out. My shape is from Savoir Faire at Motif and is mod and super cute.  Motif is a new event for some designers buddies to just work together and have fun and I am excited to see what we all can bring each month.  My prim lashes are oldies but goodies from Redgrave.

Fall into Spring

I recently came back to SL after a year away. After finishing up with my creation for the Crazy Hair Hunt 3, I naturally wanted to shop, and see what was new out there. I was one of those desiners who hadn't updated to V2 yet, so I was still on 1.23 when I left. There was a lot of catching up to do!

.

What prompted me to want to do up a post was a notice from IM CaPPed. The Designer/Owner, Victoria Bazylinski, has a Rez Day coming up, and she has decided to put out some celebration deals for us all. She has all hats marked down, two are offered for free(one of which I am wearing here), and all the eyes in the TealMeMore shade are only L$13.

.

I went on a search for anything to go with the orange hat, but ended up with a bunch of fall like colours to mix together instead. I don't get to wear hats often, as most of my hairs are too over the top to fit one on well enough. Can't cram one on a mohawk, that is for sure!

.

The dress is part of the Depraved Spring Madness Hunt, which Weronika already showed you a few days ago(just scroll on down). I like it with the outfit too much not to wear it, sorry about that. Everything else was just random finds from my journey of seeing what was new on the grid. Hope you guys enjoy !

Ride It, My Pony

NOTE: I had the wrong slurl for Hate me and Eat Me earlier but it is now fixed!  Sorry for any confusion.
-------------
I was looking around Marketplace out of boredom the other day and I stumbled across this pretty cheapie shirt and neck scarf combo.  I'm all about finding new places for meshy goodness so I thought I would share this.  Plus, hey, pink and hearts for the win!  I like the sort of innocent feel of the pattern and higher collar with the naughty cropped bottom and I thought wearing the hair bridle from Hate Me and Eat Me with it would add that extra sauciness to it.  My skin was a hunt gift from The Skin You're In and unfortunately it doesn't appear to be available any longer.  There are, however, other hunt gifts and MM boards, etc. in the store so check it out.

Lots O Mesh

I have had a pair of sunglasses from The Mesh Shop for a couple months now. I went back today to look to see if there was anything new, and found a couple of freebies for the $L challenged.

The mesh(Dutch) Boardshorts , and the mesh(Dutch) Dog Tag Arm Strap (bracelet) are both freebies at the store. While I was there I grabbed the mesh (Dutch) Rosary Pearl necklace. I already owned the mesh (Dutch) Sport Sun Shades. Slide my The Mesh Shop and grab the freebies, while your there, check out the awesome selection of sunglasses and watches.

To Sit Or Not To Sit.

Part of my daily habit is to check The Bookstore over on Style Academy for new releases + special sales. When I saw that Y's House (!) is offering a free couch + ottoman set, you can bet yer hot cross buns that I ran over to grab it.
This is a denim version of the white linen sofa that was a previous gift-with-purchase in the Choice 2011 event (which is also 1 of my fave pieces in our home). It's scrumptiously textured + sits 3 people; you can even change positions for the sits (if you click the pillowed end, it also gives you a free pillow to hold). Plus the adorable woven baskets underneath the couch are free as well!

Btw Creator's Pavilion & Switch (i.e., the same store area where Y's House is located) is having a sale + there's a supercute record shelf just waiting for the free plucking. Grab a tp from either my link below or any of the signs all over Y's House; walk to the back of the main room + you'll see a nondescript white box sitting beneath 1 of the vendor signs that contains the shelf (buy the white box for $0L).
All these lovely free housewares are motivating me to finally change up our home for Spring. Happy home decorating love + fashionista kisses to all!

Two in the Bush: Crazy Hair Hunt 3 Preview

I wish I had Sophielle's problem about writing as I tend to write too much.  I will try my best to keep the reading light.  The Crazy Hair Hunt 3 begins on March 31, closes at the end of April, and is not to be missed.  The theme is Flora & Fauna and over 60 fabulous designers have provided free items: some of them are traditional hair makers and some not, some are fatpacks, some have huds, some are mesh, some include eyes, some let you dance, some fit petites and they are all so witty and fun that they should bring smiles to your face and some are so avante garde they make me cry.  I want to show as many as possible so I am not going to do a ton of styling here.  There is a hunt group  that will open to enrollment soon to help you out and there is no desire on the part of darling Treebie Withnail, the hunt organizer and owner of The U-Neek (and the starting point), to throw you off with decoys and ridiculous naming schemes.  This is truly a labor of love.
