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 !

Love Wins

Join the Adam n Eve Sachi Vixen Update Group for only 10 L and get this stunning skin as a group gift.  The skin WAS sent to current subscriber members but it is not redeliverable.  If you missed it or are trying anew, the 10 L fee is a pittance for something this lovely.  I've seen a lot of heart-lippy skins and I can hands-down say this is the best I've seen and I am very fussy.  The hair is a group gift from Red Mint and I've barely taken it off since I got it.  I had to join the Blacklace group for 99 L and get the sexy pink dress because it was just so matchy!

On a serious note, Chic Management is returning to it's roots with the Back to Black event that begins Saturday, February 11th through February 29th.  The event focuses on Mental Health awareness and you can find information regarding participating brands and location at the Chic Mgt site.  Mental illness and other neurological disorders affect millions yet stigma continues to cause tremendous damage, not only through shame and silence, but keeps people from seeking or continuing treatment as well as face discrimination.  I'm not ready to come out on all feeds about my own personal and professional experiences with mental illness but the impact is real.  Good medicine includes awareness.

Creatures were Stirring

Almost everything is marked down by 50% at Evie's Closet right now.  Some of the most gorgeous, delicately textured fantasy clothes you will ever find and so many at half price.  The outfit I'm wearing above happens to be FREE.  It is the Midnight Mania there which when I looked just a little bit ago still had lots of slaps left...probably because you have to find it!  Look for the Vintage section and you will find it.  It is a special version of Amerie's Bower, which I fell in love with at Fashion for Life earlier this year.  I picked up the crown and collar set for some ridiculously low price.  There are some exclusions to the sale: the newest release, bridal, kids, vintage (which is already inexpensive).   Before I forget, there is also a sale at Red Mint and includes even her newest skin, No. 07, which I am wearing above.  I love it's fierce realism.  I'm a sucker for my sweet faced Eden but sometimes I just need to be something else and this skin gives me that without having to slap you in the face with it.

If you ever see me out and about in SL I'm usually in some mishmash from blogging and sorting and often shoeless, sad to say but true.  But I could not, would not resist the Lumina Nymph outfit from Evie's.  I am ready to forsake all my clothing and spend the rest of my SLife in it even though I have nowhere to wear it.  The textures are divine, the dainty placement of beads that resemble droplets from the sea, the flow as it moves and no fish feet!  I am sure there are some of you out there who understand completely that love of something so beautiful it MUST be in your collection.  I suggest you all go down to Evie's and get one before the sale ends.

Cheap Skins For a Good Cause!

So...have you been to the Another Fundraiser II event yet? Oh, you haven't? Well...WHAT"S WRONG WITH YOU!? LOL! Sorry I got a bit excited there D:

The event is really awesome, seriously for serious awesome super cool. At the location are skins and tattoo makeups from tons of designers and regular SL users that are only 50L each! And all the proceeds go to help those affected by the recent disaster in the Pacific.

For the event people were given the challenge to create skins or makeups using only the free and full perm skins from Eloh, MinaJunk, and Splendor along with their own creativity and talent. It was so fun to see the variety that came from people using the same sources!

I am only showing a few of the items available because there are just so many! Even a bunch of current and former Free*Stylers cooked up some goodies!

So come down, grab some el cheapo skins and makeups and support a great cause!

More information about the fundraiser can be found HERE. The event area is HERE.
