Four Wrens a gloating

Good Morning my lovelies, it's Monday morning, and you know that that means? New +++Blue Blood+++ release! (also five days until Christmas :O) So this week, is so obviously the best release Ghanima has ever done. Four skirts, gorgeous texturing, exciting and dramatic, and it's called... 'Wren'.

Talk about a Christmas present, I can't wait to hear what the haters have to say about it. This set comes in all of the traditional colors as well as all of the whitegoth colors (of course) and is only 300L, per usual. Don't forget that Ghani also put up a new 29L xstreet dress, and I hear word of there being... what's that? A hunt at +++Blue Blood+++? Later today. This dress will be out in the next few hours (as of 8:18 am mountain time) so be ready for all kinds of yummy new stuff from Ghani!


I shouldn't neglect to mention the skin I'm wearing in the second photo is from Chaisuki, and is one of eight gifts sitting under the Christmas tree in the store. All kinds of skins and tattoos to behad, completely free!

Happy Holidaaazeee !

Been a while since I blogged. I've had these pics for a few, I haven't been very focused lately I have the attention span of a 5 year old. Maybe that's why I was drawn to this awesome holiday gift that Honey Kitty has out right now till the 26Th. Its so fun with the glowy stars and pretty bows there was a couple hair attachments too but I'm not showing them here. It can be yours free all you need to do is activate your Honey Kitty group tag and search out five boxes hidden around the Main shop. There is two outfits to mix and match with many options.

The skin I'm wearing is one of my new favorites! Its from Oceanes's Luscious Skins and its out for the holidays for the special price of 100L. You can pick it up along with some free Christmas lingerie at the front desk in the store. I love the lips!! The body shading it to DIE for and the cleavage!? Don't get me started. There is a holiday touch to this skin it has green nail polish, and a "Santa baby" tattoo on the lower back.
Deviant Kitties - Savanah - Holly - Ink
Like the hair? Isn't it cute. Its one of two styles you can find at Deviant Kitties in a special holiday pack for the low price of 70L. You get four color options, with Xmasy tips and accessories.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

It's $50L Friday time and I'm about to run off for the holidays, so let's not waste another minute of shopping time!



Dress - This is a Fawn - Leda Dress [seafoam] - $50L

First up, the ethereal Leda Dress from This Is a Fawn. By far my favorite dress in the shop, now in the delicate soft green color. Flirty, sexy, and yet, somehow, angelic. Just love it.



Dress - my little blue christmas dress by caLLie cLine - $50L

Callie Cline is offering up her little blue christmas dress this week, and it's got to be my favorite dress that I've ever gotten in her shop. The texture is really elegant and the details in the back are lovely. All in all, a perfect little blue dress. Plus, this edition also comes with sheer thigh high stockings, matching gloves & a little blue Santa hat.



Jacket - PIDIDDLE - Em Blazer - Red - $50L

And, finally, the little red blazer from Pididdle. It's got tweed details on the pockets, as well as the elbows, plus little gold buttons down the front. Perfect for this time of year.

Hope you all have a fantastic holiday! :D

Truly Generous

Truth just sent out another great Group Gift!



Dress - TRUTH Martini Dress Pant [holly] - FREE (Group Gift)
Leggings - Source : LE.LOOK! la femme - Leggings - FREE (Group Gift)
Hair - Maitreya Nimue - Ebony - $295 (Pack of 5)
Skin - :GP: Petal [Light] Elf-Happy Holidays - FREE (Group Gift)


If you're not in the Truth Subscribe-o-Matic group, you've missed a bunch of Group Gifts lately. Today we got this adorable little red strapless party dress. Too cute for words. I know I'm in the minority when I say this, but I've always been a bigger fan of Truth clothes than their hair. I know, I'm a blasphemer and I should be tarred and feathered. But seriously, how cute is this dress?!? More clothes please! XD

The leggings are from Source and it's part of today's gift from Le.Look. If you've been living under a rock, everybody and their sissypoo has been flooding the Le.Look sim daily to grab gifts from some of SL's biggest designers. There are gifts for both men and women, and they add up to build complete avatars. Join the Le.Look in world group and then TP till you can squeeze your pixels into the constantly full sim. It's well worth it!

The hair is one of the latest styles from Maitreya. Not free or particularly cheap. But with 5 color tones per pack, it's a damn fine deal for gorgeously made hair. The skin is from the Group Gift Curio set that I showed you the other day. You can still grab them in notices. And if you were worried about a group joining fee, don't be. It's free and you really truly need these.

One last note - I bet you're wondering why I took this picture at such a cute little candyland kinda setting. Well, this is part of HappyMood's entry into this year's Winterfest. They've got 3 giant snowglobes filled with the most insanely adorable winter scenes. You will just fall out of your chair and die from the cuteness. But if you survive, you might just stumble onto a secret prize room! :O HappyMood has 3 very generous holiday-themed gifts this year, as well as an in-store Group Gift. And, if you're clever, you might just see that I've given you a major hint! ;D

Frozen

All kinds of wintry wonderfulness is finding its way across the grid, in the form of everything from clothes, to shoes and skins. There are plenty of options to keep you snuggly and warm, or just looking hot in the bedroom.

The lovely Morrigan Denimore of The Black Canary released this beauty, 'Cherubim', last night. I hope we know how I feel about white at this point, and this gorgeous set has lots of it, with some lovely fuzzy trim. The hat and capelet complete the set making you look like the snowiest of all lolita.

The skin is from Tacky Star, and right now is only 10L, it's a special preview of what her offerings for the next Designer's united series will be. Totally excited for it, the theme this time? Vaudeville. Mmmm. But hurry, this skin is only going to be out for a limited time!
+++Blue Blood+++ Also had a new release, and I'm *still* geeking over the whitegoth options available. Of course you'll find these lovelies in the traditional colors, but you know, in case you forgot. WHITE. This set is Fluture and comes with two different skirts, as seen below. A whole slew of colors, and if this isn't enough for you. Ghanima has a new 29L sec on Xstreet.com, there is a midnight mania, as well as a mob vend that goes all the way down to 50L.

But we can't forget the shoes! Lazy Places has recently released a whole slew of new boots and hooves. These lovelies are feathered and come with lots of color options, seven different colors to be precise. They also have an option for particle feathers to rezz when you walk, which is totally fun. If your budget is a wee bit tighter, well Nix Sands at XCENTRICITY has a NEW pair of exclusive holiday D'Fly heels for you. These lovelies are Ice Queen blue, and as you can see have their own fun particles.

After a long day of looking lovely and stomping around in some crazy awesome footwear, you need to have the right kind of lingerie so unwind it, or maybe get wound up in. Seldom Blue has release a whole pile of yummy, fun and festive styles for you. Just today Indigoblue dropped a gorgeous holiday version of my favorite set 'Kira' on the SOM group. If you're lucky you might still be able to grab it, it's serious yum.

Another recent addition to Seldom Blue's lingerie line is the Portia series. Right now you can get the purple set for a hugely discounted 195L, that's 25 pieces people, and for a set that normally runs at 800L, it's a deal that can't be beaten. This set has so many options it's ridiculous, from skirts, to bras and panties and corsets, you'll spend hours playing with this set, if only a few minutes taking it off.

Some of SL's biggest names are participating in a secret $50L sale through December 27th. You have to search the shops to find the goodies, but there's so much great stuff to be had! (You can find a copy of the shop list in The Love/Hate Hivemind Group notices.) Soon as I spotted Mimikri on the list, I ran! There are items marked down throughout the shop, almost every room has something, so there's lots to choose from. I also have to make a note of the pose used above. It's a Group Gift from the new {flowey} in-world group. There's a $100L joining fee, but there are 2 poses available now in notices, with the promise of more to come.

House of Hucci is another shop on the So 2010 list with a big selection of $50L items. So much so that it was hard to choose. I settled on this great pair of jeans. They come with loads of options and the texture is really fantastic. You can really never have enough jeans, so be sure to grab them.



Dress w/ Gloves - Mimikri - Lady Minx/Dress red - $50L
Skin - :GP: Petal [Dark] Elf-Happy Holidays - FREE (Group Gift)


Last, but most certainly not least, I have to mention the Group Gift Skins from Curio that made every girl in SL scream her head off last night. It's a sample Fatpack of the new Elf line of skins, and it's got the superlative quality you know and love. You must join the Gala & Rita Designs Announcements in-world group to get them. They're waiting for you in the past notices. There are 5 skin tones, with Light & Dark options for each. They're gorgeous and you desperately need them right now.

I would also like to note the setting for these pics today - the outstanding Primtings Gallery, run by Ina Centaur of IC Skins. It's a gallery dedicated to realizing famous works of art in 3D and it's heaven for an art nut like myself. There's some truly wonderful work here by some great SL artists, all made with sincere reverence for the original masters. It's a must-see. And while you're there, be sure to drop a few Lindens into the donation kiosk. Art keeps SL exciting and places like this need all the support you can give.

It's A Pamela o:

"You're looking for a Trickett? Don't think I've seen one. Have you tried their favourite shops? How about the forests? Lay some sweetie trails and a pillow trap. A pillow trap? It's a strategically placed pillow for catchin' Tricketts. :D That? It's just a random smiley face. Go about your daily business, no Tricketts here, just us Pamelas. <.<"


This is a Pamela. :3 Or maybe a Trickett interpretation of a Pamela. The skin is by Lazolli and the shape and pose are by Plastic Flowers, your latest store for cute and edgey shapes. :3


The shape has a very versatile, sexy face. She worked with every skin I tried on, including skins that haven't been my favourite on Trick. Shown here are the Lazolli Pamela skin the shape was designed for, Summer by Vive9, Bella by Tuli and Enchanted by Cupcakes.
There are three no mod shapes with varying heights - 5 6", 5 8" and 5 10" by height measure. There's a couple of things I'd change but I am a shape-freak and overall it's probably a better shape than other freebie shapes I've picked up from skin and shape shops (I know you're all saying "well duh" <.<).

I think I have to switch to the offical viewer when I take photos, they just don't seem as sharp in Emerald as they did on LL's. I don't think Photobucket compression helps either...

Shape - Plastic Flowers - 1L
First Skin - Lazolli - 1L
Pose - Plastic Flowers - 1L
Necklace (Colour change) - U&R Dogs - Lucky Chair
