Winter is officially here and this moment is the perfect time to do some shopping. The stores are usually busy at this period as we all need to get some new items either for us or for our beloved ones. Same is for Second Life. December is the perfect month for shopping as there are so many events and sales going on.

That's all for now. I will soon get back to you and show you some of the exclusive releases made for this event. Some of them are really fantastic and I can't wait to show them to you!

Hello my dear friends!

 

It's Black Friday today and there are a lot of sales going on around the grid. It's the perfect time to shop as most stores have 50% to 75% sales items. There are so many bargains, you simply can't miss them!

 

Anyway, today I wanted to indtroduce a new store at my blog, Preptopia. This is a rather new store as it's been around for about six months now more or less. Today I'm wearing my favorite release by Preptopia, the stunning Vintage Muse gown in Robbins Egg. The main inspiration behind Preptopia is clothes with nautical patterns but the designer is pretty much open in experimenting with more kinds of styles. I would characterise the style of more of her creations as cute, sweet, girly and casual. You can also find other cretions like this perfect gown which looks great in a fantasy setting. At the moment the designer of Preptopia is working on some Christmas-themed releases which are really wonderful and she's also on the look to join events and venues. You can find some of her creations at Designer Circle, Black Friday, and there are more to come. Stay tuned and I'll keep you update. :)



Second thing I want to share with you today is some more Avi Choice Awards news. Izara Zuta, the owner and designer of 7 Deadly s{K}ins is nominated in not 1 but 3 (!) categories! (Well done Izara!). She's a nominnee for Favorite Female Skin Designer, Favorite Male Skin Designer & Favorite Cosmetics Designer. The voting is currently on and will remain so till December 8th. If you'd like to vote for 7 Deadly s{K}ins, you can do so by visting this website.

 

 

At the moment 7 Deadly s{K}ins is taking part in the Skin Addiction Black Friday. To get this discount you'll need to join the Skin Addiction inworld group. 7 Deadly s{K}ins has an entire room full of skins that are 25%, 50% and 75% discount. You can also get a special from the new to be released Temperance skin off with a discount! So hurry up there to get some cheap skins. :)

 

Cila also has a Black Friday and for 24 hours everything will be half price! If you want some cute clothes and accessories then definately visit it!

 



 

Last but not least, my new nail polish is by La Boheme and is an exclusive for The Frozzen Fair which will open in a couple of days. Stay tuned as I have more cool exclusives to show you from this fantastic event! :)

- The Frozzen Fair -





 

December will be a very busy month! Most of the designers work hard to prepare a variety of holiday themed creations and there's a bunch of holiday events as well.

 

One of these events is The Frozzen Fair. It starts on December 1st until 15th. As a blogger, I have the chance to get a preview and I can tell you that it's going to be a fantastic event! The theme is Ice Color, Winter, Snow, Red, Green, Christmas, generally anything December related. There are more than 100 stores participating and you can find all kinds of creations: clothes, shoes, poses, skins, accessories, furniture, etc. Each designer has created 1 or 2 exclusive items for this fair based on this theme. I had a sneak peak already and I can tell you that they have done a really good job. ;)

 

Before I forget, I should also mention that there will also be free gifts. In fact, every store will have 1 gift/dollarbie!!!!! Amazing, right? This means you'll get about 100 (nearly) free new items! The gifts are very easy to find as all of them are in a similar box. Simply visit all the stores in the sim, locate the box and grab it for free or for 1L.

 

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll soon post again about The Frozzen Fair, this time with photos of the exclusive releases. :)

 

For more information, please check The Event and Hunts Forever Planners' website, they are the ones who organize this event.

 Hiya everyone!

 

Lots of things are currently taking place in the Second Life fashion world. As we move closer to Christmas and the end of this year, a lot of sales and Chrismas themed events are making their appearance.

 

One of this events is the Avi Choice Awards. If the name doesn't ring any bells, the Avi Choice Awards is simply a kind of ceremony to award people who were nominated by the public in a particular sector of Second Life (for example favorite musician, favorite, magazine, favorite club, etc). The nominations include Fashion Awards too such as Favorite Skin Designer, Favorite Fashion Event, etc. The nominees were announced about a week or two ago and you can see them here. Visiting this page also allows you to vote for your favorite designers, magazine,etc. Woo hoo! I'm so excited about that! =] I have to admit, I'm really happy to see some of my favorite designers on the list but I also feel a bit disappointed as I really feel some others, who are not there, should be. :/ Anyway, I'm sure the competition is going to be tough and I can't wait to see who'll receive the Oscars... I mean the Avi Choice Awards. =]

 

In this post I'm featuring some creations by two designers who are nominated: Shanty Bookmite, designer of {MUA}- Your Make Up Addiction, nominated in the Favorite Cosmetics Designer  category and BabyChampagne Sass, designer of BSD Design Studio, nominated in the Favorite Female Shoe Designer category. The nail polish and the shoes I'm wearing are some of their latest releases. Thanks for the support girls! Congrats on your nominations and good luck! <3

- The Alchemist -

 

Hiya mates!

 

Soooo, as I think it's well known, I really like visiting fashion events, especially when they are fantasy related. :) Unfortunately this month I have been rather busy in real life so I only glanced at a few events but didn't really focus on any of them extensively.

 

Anyway, before November ends, I really wanted to show you the adorable Oriental Alchemist by Cila. This cutie is available at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival as a (what else?) gacha. =] It's available in several colors and one rare. Nope, the pink version I'm showing is not the rare one. I know, I know, this is what you probably wanted to see but, hey! Pink is my color! Give me anything in pink, I'll wear it! Shoes, clothes, make up, etc, pink is my favorite color ever! <3





 

Gachas are quite affordable which is great and I'm sure we all love them for that as we love in general cheapies and offers. =] In my previous post I introduced CottonCANDYmonsteR, a store which focuses on cute and gilry releases of high quality BUT low prices!!! Today I'm wearing their latest make up, the Disco Dream Eyeshadow. I'm wearing the Princess version but you can get the whole fatpack for only 30L! Amazing, right?

 

 

Another store which offers great deals is Celestics. I have shown Celestics before, but to refresh your memory, it's a rather new pose store mainly for fantasy poses and props. Since it's new, it offers a lot of dollarbies and poses in low rices. Both poses I'm showing cost only 15L each. :)

 





 

 

 

Anyway, that's all for today. Happy shopping everyone. xxx

- Let It Snow -

 

 

Hi everyone!

 

It's getting really cold here in the UK. Every time I go outside the house, I need to get with me a warm coat, a scarf and a hat. I like this winter and Christmas atmosphere but I also really miss the warm temperature of the summer.

 

 

Second Life is staying up to date with this season so you can find a lot of winter-themed sims to visit. For this reason, I bet you need some winter clothes, right? What's better than a warm coat so you can start visiting all these wonderful sims which are covered with snow?

 

About a week ago I was browsing photos in flickr until I was alarmed by a really adorable coat I saw in another fashion blogger I follow. I immediately followed her links and teleported to a new to me store called CottonCANDYmonsteR. I was so amazed when I got there as they offer some fabulous items in very cheap prices!!!! If you like cute and girly clothes and make up, this is definately the store for you!

Here I'm showing the Cute Winter Coat I talked about above. It's a real deal as for only 50L you can get the fatpack which includes this adorable coat in 3 colors: pink, turquoise and gold. I think it's well-known that I'm a lady who loves pink. :) Naturally then I'm here showing the pink version of this sweet coat. :)

My funny poses are by Fashiowl Poses and you can find them at Cirque de Seraphim. As I wrote in my previous post this is a charity event and part of the profits are going to be donated to ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).



Finally, pay a visit at The Thrift Shop. My cute Cupcake Nails are a gacha by LMD and they look so pretty with my new lovely coat. :) <3

- Cirque de Seraphim -

 

 

Hi everyone!

 

A few days ago I visited Cirque de Seraphim and I had a look around to get some items. It's a really great fantasy-like event. One reason why I was so eager to visit it is because it's a charity event for ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). I love animals myself and I always had pets, either cats or dogs. If you bond with an animal, the animal can give you so much emotion, affection and loyalty in return. For this reason I'm really an opposer to the cruelty against animals and I definately advise you to visit Cirque de Seraphim. Here I'm showing some of the exclusive releases made by The Library and Fashiowl Poses. For more information on this charity event you can have look at their official website. 





Another event that you should definately check out is A Tattered Page. This is an event which promotes the love for literature. The idea is that in every round, each designer who participates will create some exclusive releases based on the selected novel. For this round the event is based on the classic gothic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Today I'm showing the Frankenstein Hope eyes by !Chop Shop! Find more information on this event here.

Last but not least I also want to write something about my choker. It's not a new release but I don't really care. I got this beauty a couple of months ago at the Jewelry Fair. It was one of the exclusive releases by 22769 ~ [accessories]. Unfortunately I didn't have time to blog it on time and ever since I kept getting new items to show. But, I never forgot about it and I was looking for an opportunity to post it and I finally did. It looks great with this dress and in this setting, don't you think? It's now available at 22769 ~ [accessories] mainstore and more colors are available. :)

- A November Afternoon -

 

Hiya mates!

 

How's everyone?

 

I'm really excited because earlier this month I discovered a new to me store, NeW Way! As most of you probably know, I am so keen in getting to know new designers so I couldn't wait to let you know about NeW Way! :) So, let's see... NeW Way is a little store which offers a variety of mesh clothes: skirts, pants, jackets, scarfs, etc. Most of their apparel so far are every day, casual and minimal chic. Today I showing a mini dress and a fur jacket from their fall collection which are available in more colors and patterns. Definately go and visit the mainstore. Even if you're not into shopping just go to have a look around and adore their cute little sim. 



 

I'm a huge make up addict and ever since I got my slink hands and feet I'm crazy with nail polishes! La Boheme is definately a really active make up store. Their fall collection of slink appliers is a great one and suits perfectly this season. Here I'm showing Karma, a hud with dark(ish) colors. It's an exclusive for My Slink Obsession along with a few other releases.





Also check out my new pumps! They're so sophisticated, aren't they? They are by DE Boutique and are available at Designer's Showcase! <3

Hello my dear readers!

 

It's the mid of November. I really can't believe how this month is passing so quicky. I think it's because these past few weeks I've been so busy in my real life so I counted even every minute.

 

Anyway, I wanted to do this post for a while now but due to all this amount of real life work I couldn't. Finally I found some time and yeah! here it is! A beautiful fairy tale princess look! :)

DandelionWine has released a really adorable new mesh long dress which I fell in love with right the moment I saw it! The dress comes with HUD to change the color of the texture. That's great because you can have multiple versions of the same dress to wear both for cute and girly looks (like this one) but also for dark and gothic ones. 



 

Fit For A Princess has currently a new round and I found some really cute props by Fashiowl Poses which look perfect with my princess look. I'm showing only two of them but there are a few more available. Definately go and check them out!

 

Last but not least I want to mention my new nail polish by La Boheme. I'm wearing one of the pastel versions which is so sweet! <33

Hello my dear readers! Hope everyone is well. This month has been so difficult for me as I'm super busy in my real life. I found some time earlier this week to make a new look to share with you but I didn't have time to complete the post until today. So, here it is and I really hope that you like it!

 

I wanted a cute fantasy look for today as I had a bunch of adorable fantasy accessories to show like the Fountain Pen Of A Pure Heart by Cila, the Essential Headpiece by Gala Fashion Design and the Druid's Call Necklace by Cubic Cherry Kre-ations.

 

My lace bodysuit in pastel lilac is by 1 Hundred and I matched it with some lilac slink appliers by MUA and the Ultraviolet eyes by Crow!

 

Time for me to go back to my real life. Thanks for reading and take care everyone! xxx

Hi everyone!

 

I was looking at my inventory the other day to see if I have any items that I have forgotten to show. I am such a fashion addict and I have such a huge closet that it's difficult to pick what to show and what not. Anyway, while I was looking, I noticed that I had completely forgotten to show a really wonderful dress. I'm refering to Young Lady by MONTONY. This romantic dress was released a few months ago and I'm still wondering how could I forget to show such a beauty. Young Lady is a mesh long dress with perfect details. It's available in several colors and it was so hard to pick a favorite so I decided to take some photos with all of them. :)

 

Enjoy!

- Fall At Intro -

 

Hi everyone!

 

Some time ago I tried to teleport at Intro sim to take some photos as it's one of my favorite places to shoot. I was really surprised as I could no longer find the destination. At first I was worried that it closed down so I immediately wanted to know what's going on. As some of you may know, Intro is the home of some really cute stores such as B.C.C, *(OO)*YUKI, ur.favorite.one, VCO and Howl. I checked the designers' profiles to see if there's been any change but I couldn't find anything that suggests such a thing. I soon realized that there was probably a renewal. :)

Indeed it was! I managed to teleport there a couple of days ago and instead of finding the usual dream-like sim among the sky and clouds (which you can see here), I found a cute little town during autumn! There's an adorable narrow alley with small stores, a tea party and a train route.

I immediately picked up some warm autumn clothes to shoot it this sweet town.

The outfit I'm wearing is by Sugar Button Boutique and it's one of her exclusives releases for The Black Dot Project. The outfit is adorable and perfect for this season! :)



As I'm in autumn colors today, I picked up the latest nail polish by Pulcino which is a free prize for Kawaii Mini Hunt. If you like cute, girly and adorable items then this is a hunt you'll love! You can see the participating stores, the prizes and their hints in their official site.
