Black and White

Good Morning lovelies :)

A little bit of this and a little bit of that today, including a hunt item, fabulous shoes and pretty eyes.

The Runway Perfect Hunt 4  (May 1 -May 31) has lots of stuff worth checking out.  Purple Moon's hunt prize is the 'Margot' four colour pack dress. The hunt items cost 5L$.

My shoes are 'Helena a new release from Redgrave '. Twelve colour combinations are available via a HUD. Skin tone, nail colour and resize options are also via the HUD. A demo is available in-store.

Insufferable Dastard's mesh eyes are my  personal favourites  The ID 'Essentials' are available at the new Round of 'The Men's Dept' in six colours. (pic below edited to show four single colours)

Lastly more new hair from 'Tram'. I am wearing 'C429' in brown. I did have to stretch it out as it was very small.

I am still liking and wearing 'Anais' from Glance, this is the July tone worn with Matt Lips 06

Happy Monday :)

Fashion by numbers

Hello! I want to show you  a couple of items available from 22769.

First up is the 'Floating Sunrise' skirt and the 'Zoe' blouse, which are available at this round of 'The Gallery Gift Shop' The skirt has such an unusual shape and in my opinion an oriental/ethnic look. There is also an outfit available for you fellas. The dress and shirt are mesh and five standard mesh sizes are included.

Paco and Manu are always very generous and participate in a lot of hunts. The 'Slim Cut Leather Pants' are their hunt prize ($L5) for the 'Swimming Pool Blue' hunt (Duration: August 15th - August 31st). The pants are rigged mesh, five standard mesh sizes are included. The pants are also a new release at the main store in a range of other colours.

Last up is August's group gift from 22769, the 'Orange Beach Shorts'. The shorts are available in the group gift vendor at the store, activate your group tag and clicky clicky, older group gifts are also available.

My two blonde hair do's (Tyra and Lora) are from EMO-tions. There is a sale this week on blonde hair, the sale is only available at the main store where blonde hair is reduced to $L95.

Thank you to Paco, Manuel and Mirja Mills

Mesh In The City

I was thinking today how quickly I have become a mesh convert. More and more I find myself wearing mesh. The outfit above is an example of my mesh madness. Everything apart from the shoes are mesh


My jumpsuit is from 'Ison'. The V cut neckline and slightly shorter pant length makes this great for a more casual look, I think it would also work great with an ankle length boot.


My hair is 'JOLIE_RM' by Lelutka, an alpha layer is included but I didn't need to wear it as the hair fitted perfectly.


Onto my accessories, my necklace and earrings are the 'Ashanti' set which are Maxi Gossamer's hunt item for 'The Accessories Hunt' the hunt runs until June 30 so you still have time to go search them out. My bracelet is also from Maxi Gossamer and is the 'Athena' bangle.


My belt is the 'Malika' belt from J.H. Couture and it works perfectly with the jumpsuit.


Lastly my over sized bag is from 'Shine' and is the mesh satchel in Spring Floral.


Thanks to Jada Humby :)

I Spy

There are a couple of 'worth doing' hunts taking place at the moment. I picked up this cute coat and shoes on the 'Perfect Runway Hunt' at CHG Fashion.

The'Limbo-Wet Look' hairbase I am wearing is from Tuty's. I haven't been to Tuty's for a very long time so I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of some of the stuff they had there. There are a lot of cheap poses and animations there too. I will definitely be back to check them out.

I am wearing YS&YS's 'Roxanne 03 Sensual' make-up

I am having a day at home, haunting the sales and events on SL, wish me luck :)

Mesh Crazy

I built today's outfit around the amazing 'Asym' cardigan from Crazy. I loved the style and shape of the cardi and I am always a sucker for earth/neutral tones.

The wide legged mesh pants from Jane were a perfect accompaniment.

To add just a splash of colour I added the teal shoes which are the Women's Stuff hunt gift from N-Core (more info here) and a matching belt from R.icielli. (Don't forget the 50L$ SALE is still running at R.icielli)

Hair and skin are provided by 'April' from Milano and 'Chloe' in tan by Belleza.

A tone on tone outfit with a splash of colour, simple but stylish.

Asia is wearing:

• Cardigan- Asym Cardigan-Crazy
• Pants- Wide leg pant.zooey.truffle-Jane

Along came a spider

It's most definitely hunt season in Second Life. 

The sweater I am wearing is the INN Hunt (until 30 October) item from Sakide. It includes black red and white sweaters.It works great with the free leggings from G.Field

The 'Apple' hair is the The Seasons Hunt (until October 29) gift from Fri.day. Seven colours are included. I did re-colour the hat for the pics.

It's been a while since I visited G.Fields so I tp'd over. It was one of my better ideas as I found there is a 50% sale on selected orange and purple stuff. There are several free/special priced Halloween items available too. I had to pick up the 'Alex-Purple Patent' shoes for 50L$ and the spiderweb leggings worn in the pics.

My necklace is also a Seasons Hunt prize and from Caroline's Jewellery.

Key to Success

Lots of hunts and sales still going on around SL.

I checked out the 10$L Golden Key hunt at R.icelli, you are looking for gold keys which are really easy to find.

I took a quick look around and found the items I wanted without too much of a problem. I didn't get everything as some of the items I just didn't like.

 

I have been buying hair AGAIN...it's a kind of sickness I think, I couldn't  resist a hair/hat combo at TDRB or the cute symmetrical bob from Mikan and the Opening  Group Gift from Mach was a no brainer.

Fur(st) Impression

Unless you are living under a rock you probably know that The Seasons Hunt has begun.

First impressions?  it looks like there are some great items available. One thing in particular caught my eye.

The 'Fur Shrug' from So Many Styles fits perfectly I did not have to edit one single thing on it.

I instantly thought of boho/hippy chic when I saw it but on a second look it would look equally as great over an evening gown and killer heels.

If you are cherry picking your way through the Seasons Hunt..add this top of the list.

Asia is wearing:

• Fur Shrug-Seasons Hunt-SMS.
• Sweater-Light beige sweater-Latte (group gift)
• Skirt-Sailor Skirt-brown-Sn@tch
• Boots- Yeti Boots-YS&YS (TDR past item-but available in store)
• Hair--RUSH hair,praline-Lelutka (past suscribo gift)
• Earrings & Necklace-Boho-JK Trends
• Skin-Ice Queen,Blizzard 1 & Juicy Babe Lips - Soil-Curio  & Glamorize

Happy Hunting!

Shuuuush....It's a secret.

I fell in love with the The Secret Stores, Happy Holiday Hunt prize. The Silver Snowflake coat is totally gorgeous.

I could imagine Audrey Hepburn wearing this it's very 1960s in design with it's monotone floral print and the A line shape, love it! All hunt gifts are 10L$ and a steal.

I tp'd over to Pixel fashion to check out the new shoe release 'Oshun'. The store is very wintery/christmas themed which took a very long time to rez for me, there are different ways  you can actually tp to the store I got bored waiting and took the quick tp (which rezzed first).

The shoes are available in eight colours. They are colour change (4 variations of the main colour) costing 450$ OR for two days the fat pack is half price at 1200L$.

I don't know when the two days started or ends so rush over right now if you want the fatpack at a great price.

Asia is wearing:

• Coat-Silver Snowflake Coat-The Secret Store-HH Hunt
• Shoes-'Oshun'-Pixel-Fashion

I'm just a doll

Still skipping/lagging through this seasons hunts.

Found a super cute trouser, braces and t-shirt at {paper.doll}. These trousers are bang up to date with the extended waist and super tight fitting around the hips.  What's even better is that the clothes come on different layers to enable you to play around with jackets and different shirts. In short this is a great find.

I am going to have a further look around {paper.doll}I am in the mood for shopping today.

Oh I'm English so I will add an English English to American English translation here just in case :)

Trousers=Pants
Braces=Suspenders
