Vampire Weekend

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I love this band Vampire Weekend and now I have an excuse to inflict them on everyone else…

I’ve gone vintage Halloween today, I’m channelling Dita von Teese after she has just been fed some raw human. Did you know that when Dita goes to a Halloween party she dresses like a normal girl without makeup – that’s her outfit, that’s what she said in an interview last week.

This retro dotty gorgeous dress is a free gift from Ingenue. Also comes in many other colours but only the orange is free. The hair is a freebie by Jetdoll at Savoir Hair and the teeth are part of a 1L Vampirella outfit from JetDoll (see here for complete outfit, I blogged it nearly a year ago and it’s still available in store)

This web and spider jewellery is a free gift from Star Kindler, beautiful and intricately detailed, it’s hard to show it in its full glory in these pics. (Woops just noticed Ashia has featured these here too) There’s no such thing as overexposure when it comes to this luffly jewellery though.

Other items worn
Halloween Skin: Beauty Avatar (1L)
Orange eyes: Aralute’s (20L)

To be honest I’ve got a bit of beef with Halloween in RL. Call me an old grump, but I find kids I don’t know (most of them bigger than me) ringing my doorbell and begging for sweets pretty annoying. Now my girls are desperate to do it “cos everyone else is”. Gaaahhh what to do?

Thankfully we are going to be out at a party later, so hopefully we will get back late and miss all that.

Mixin’ it up

I originally started thist post after my birthday night out, but I passed out drunk so I’ve restarted it 2 days later. I’m surprised the pics aren’t blurry, I could hardly see when I took these.

I’m still feeling a bit rough because I was out again last night, so this is going to be a post of few words. Thankfully it’s not my birthday every weekend. I am never drinking again! (until the next time)

This sassy and sexy dotty retro dress is 1L from 888-Betty.

I was gonna say I’m a hair whore……..but that would be a lie!! I’m a hair, clothes, shoes…….bugger it, all sl products whore (bar the sex ones, still don’t get the appeal there XD!) This weekend was heaven in terms of hunts, sales and shows. We have been well and truly spoilt. I’ll start with some of the goodies I got from the Ivalde sale. Heaps of shtuff is marked down to 100l, with quite a few dollarbies hidden. Using Adaire’s hover tip thingo I was able to find them in no time at all, and drop some serious cash as well!!

I had been shopping at Junwave, taking advantage of the massive 50% off sale. Now the hair there was already cheap, so I picked up amazing styles for 30l or less as well as a freebie.

These are a couple of the styles I got. Then I went for a wander over to the next sim and boy did I make a find! The clothes I’m wearing were all free!! From a wee place called Aya Love, and a store opposite that’s called M’s Factory.

Ahhhhh, I just love Artilleri. Just being on the sim makes me feel all dreamy and happy and Antonia’s creations get lovelier and lovelier, I don’t know how it is possible, but it’s true.

You will adore the latest swimsuit, a beautifully designed retro style, bottom hugging and low cut on the hips. Antonia has given the lilac polka dot sample of this swimsuit to her Artilleri group as a little taster.

I was so lucky yesterday, I was one of the first 20 people to head down to Pazazz and win a free hair. I tried on the demo of this Ashley style and fell in love with it, a big thank you to Mya Heaney of Pazazz and also to Antonia of Artilleri for letting us try out this lush swimsuit.

Ahhh now I need a shower, it’s hot here at Artilleri

Hey y’all, another quick post from me.

Check out this pink Hawaiian Swimsuit, it’s from those generous folks at Surfline Rezzable, the Freebie of the Week, available 7 June to 13th June.

Surfline 3

These cool sunglasses are the Cristal VIP edition: Kalnins (Group Gift, join the group and click sign in store – head to the ‘Help’ section), thanks to Chesti Questi (apologies for getting your name wrong first time) for letting us know about this one. **I have to add, these glasses are amazing, they are scripted so you can change lense colour, size, reflection, there’s also an avatar detector, a smile emote and probably loads of other stuff**

Truth has a new 1L style in store called Kensei, this was a group gift last year I think, so you may have it. It’s one of my favie styles, unisex and lots of colours.

Rosemary Galbraith of Rosemar has given her group more luffly gifts of gorgeousness.
The Creampuff Puppies skin has cute little freckles and pouty lips, It comes in many skin tones too. Also in the Rosemar group is this wonderful retro Pinup Swimsuit in lime and with this fantastic matching sunhat. The Rosemar Group has a enrollment fee of 250L, I don’t want to keep harping on about it, but you will see if you type Rosemar into blog search how well worth it this fee is.

Hello Beauties!

Look at these lush goodies I have here. To start with PixelDolls have a new skin line and have given a preview of this makeup in each skin tone to the PixelDolls group, (also includes lashes and face lights). You may still be waiting to receive yours if you are in the group so it’s worth going back there and touching the subscribomatic sign again, choose History, Option 1 – please be patient, you may not recieve it straight away but it is worth the wait. I love the dreamy face, and the body is stunning too.

UPDATE: For those of you who have not received your group gifts from PixelDolls, they have just exceeded their marvellousness by providing all the group gifts in one box. This is the group message I received today.

“Group Gift Pack . All our group gifts in one box, for those who may not have recieved them with the original sending. All group gifts are now History Option #1! Thanks for your patience everyone, looks like we have the technical issues with this sorted out. ❤

Huge thank you to Scarlett and everyone involved with PixelDolls for being so generous, fabulous, ace, lovely, fantastic and great..YAY!

A perfect retro glamour look combined with the 1L Jetdoll Hair at Savoir Hair (includes flower) and these gorgeouse anime eyes (not free) are created by our very own Ashia. (She doesn’t like to blow her own trumpet, so I’ll do it for her)

Have you got this yet? Blue Blood’s latest free gift in store, (if you were very very quick off the mark you may have seen my original error, I took a pic of the WRONG DRESS which was a previous free item from Blue Blood – yusssss my inventory is in a terrible mess, like my brain).

This dress is the correct one, the wonderful wenchful Lolita Dress, this is free at the Blue Blood store, possibly only for a short time.

I love Silent Sparrow. I love the clothes, I love Hya, I love the sim……have I mentioned I love Hya?! I have gladly spent my last lindens when she’s released a new outfit and will no doubt do it again and again! The prim work, the textures, dude EVERYTHING is my idea of perfect.

So when I got a notice saying there was a new outfit in the lucky chair, off I went!!! I have been trying on and off for a couple of days to get this. It’s made of gorgeous. I had to have it, I just had to!!! After being there for 2 cycles today, I actually got usurped…..emo! But I prevailed eventually woot!!! This outfit is yummm. It’s a mixture of the Thorns and Beloved suits.

Check it out for yourselves…..awesome no? So whooping with delight, I tp’d to Ivalde to have a wander round. as soon as I landed, I got an IM saying it was my letter on the lucky chair upstairs!!!

Like I’ve said in previous posts, I rarely win stuff, now 2 outfits in one day zomg!! This oufit is just darling. The colour is to die for, and the skirt is the right kinda swishy! I can’t wait to get back to the store and spend some lindens, I just had to show you guys first!

And lastly, but by no means least, a gorgy swimsuit from the Rosemar group. It’s in keeping with the retro theme I started with the Ivalde dress. A lush lime green Pinup swimsuit woot!!

There is a joining fee for the Rosemar group, but she is beyond generous with us, giving out gifts for reasons such as “I just noticed there wasn’t a gift left in the notices for you guys” Gotta love her!! And with that Ash is out to spend some cash at the above stores….yay!!!
