Purple Moon ~ Special

I got a 55L Thursday notice from Purple Moon for this cute dress/gown. Usually I don't go for light pastels, but something about the design & versatility of this dress called me. I think it's the tulip-like look of it that makes me yearn for springtime. Whatever it is, I do like the design & the many ways you can attach or detach the prims for a different look anytime.

I'm not sure how long she will leave it out for 55L, but it was here on Saturday.

ChiChickie!

Stormy is wearing the new group gift from Chichickie! called Cheryl. The gift comes in the brunette as shown and you can wear it with or without the hair extensions that are in the package you will receive.

If brunette is a color that just won't work for you, you can purchase the fat pack of colors for a limited price of 95L. When I was there, there were only 30 packs left at that price.

ChiChickie! also has a separate shop for men's styles and there were some very nice styles available for the gents.

There is a side room where you will find MM Boards, a Lucky Chair, some freebies, a wall of discounted styles and offers of previous 60L Weekend items.

Take a little trip to ChiChickie!, I'm sure you'll like it!

It's a Purple Moon

I love going to Purple Moon & wandering around the gowns dreaming I were a princess (Oh! wait I AM a Princess!) or a movie star or model or just someone who gets to wear these beautiful gowns everyday! I love the colors and the details and I love the way the shop is laid out so I can dance around in my head to my heart's content! She also designs really nice casual wear which makes me very happy.

Song decided to join the Purple Moon group for a small fee of 50L. The 2 dresses she got in return was more than worth the joining fee! We look forward to more exclusive group gifts from this wonderful designer!

Semper Fi ~ Trigger 1-7-2002 - 2-15-2011

This was my beautiful boy, Trigger, when he raced at the Woodlands Race Track, in Kansas City.  I watched every race he ever ran here and became friends with his racing owners who agreed to let me adopt him when they retired him from racing. He was starting to slow down in the fall of 2005 and they chose to let him run 3 more races and then he would retire & come home to me. On the day of his last race, he came in first, I was so afraid I was going to have to wait longer for him, since he was on an upswing but no, they said he would retire a winner! After his medical stuff and some recuperating, he came home with me on October 12, 2005. He adjusted like all greyhounds before him had, just like he had been waiting all of his life for a couch to call his own.

In the time I had him, he was the most gentle soul of all the greyhounds I have ever owned (12 of them!) and close to the funniest. The rare times he had an accident in the house, it was in the bathroom, where he had lifted his leg on the toilet! Did I say he was smart too? He always knew when it was time to eat & always starting "telling" me about 10 minutes prior to meal time. I swear he wore a watch somewhere!

He had the funniest ears that went up straight & out, like the hat of the habit Sister Bertrille wore on The Flying Nun. They were cute!

I lost this beautiful boy this week, on Tuesday. He broke his leg and upon x-ray, we could see his femur riddled with the cancer ~ osteosarcoma ~ the monster cancer that takes the lives of a lot of greyhounds. I would not let him endure another minute of pain, I set him free.

There won't be a day that passes that I won't remember him or miss him. My life was richer to have shared the time I did with him.

God Speed Trigger ~

Thanks to my friends in Second Life that have sent me condolences. It means a lot to know you care about my feelings.

I'll be back to blogging fashion soon.

Pretty In Pink

Donna Flora is always a great store to find beautiful designs, period pieces costumes & various other items that one might need. Dresses, shoes, hats, hair, accessories, you name it, it is there & with great style. For men also! The Carousel dress is something everyone must see and the Cage dress!

Very creative designing is what you will find in this shop as you walk through the Italian feeling building. Squinternet Larnia puts her visions & dreams into everything she designs! I really don't think I have seen more creativity in SL.

You will find this cute, flirty Bijoux dress in the dollarbie area just outside of the main gate. You'll find other assorted items & a lucky chair.

While you are there, take a stroll around the sim, Grab an ice cream at the vendor & play at the playground. Sneak into the art gallery and enjoy the fine work of Evaline Merlin. Grab a scooter & ride around the beautiful sim. There are other shops to slip into also.

Make a trip to Donna Flora a destination, not just a visit to a shop!

Shoes I Love

This week I have 2 favorite pair of shoes. Neither are free, but both are wonderful in their own way.

First are my Maitreya Gold, Hana in Raspberry. I have many Maitreya Gold shoes but I believe these will become my favorite. I can see me adding some basic colors to my collection also. Always a good sign!.

I love the way the ruffle at the heel reminds me of a beautiful flower petal with the different colors I see in it. It looks so lovely & feminine on the foot.

These shoes are HUD driven and are resizeable as well as being able to tint the skin to perfection & the nails!

I know you will love them as much as I do! Even with the 975L price tag.

Maitreya Gold


Next is the fantastic sneakers I found at HOC Industries. These will be all the sneaker you will ever need! These shoes will change to ANY color you could ever want through 2 HUDs, one HUD has preset colors and the other has a slide that you can create any color you choose to match anything you need your shoes to match!

You can change all of the sections of the shoe too & it's so easy!!!

These HOC Industries ~ Animal Sneakers will cost you 175L, well worth the price!!!

What's On Your Head?

Believe me, I am not the only one who sees the WTF moments in SL! Recently I had some photos sent to me of a WTF moment a friend of mine was seeing!

We are wondering WTF this gal has on her head & does it need vacuumed or mowed?

Apparently, I have a lot of friends who will catch you looking wrong. Watch what you wear!!

Latex or Bust

I am so not sure what this fashion is or, with so little skin showing, why she even shops at a great skin shop, so if someone knows, please tell me! Does that get-up make her sweat a lot? Does she need medicinal strength deodorant or does she just not care if she smells? Do you wash that in the washer or just hang it in the shower for a quick rinse?

I'm scared.

enjoy!

Free Day

You know when I get bored I like to find outfits for free. So off I went on one of my new alts to find some freebies that would fit her style.

First, we went to Jane. I gotta say I love this shop! Jane Marlowe is more than generous with her wonderful designs! Made for everyday wear & as comfortable as my 8 year old sweats! At Jane we picked up the always free, 31 colors, intrinsic tanks which are a great item to have on all avis. While we were there we saw Jane had set out a set of free skirts. Six colors which match the colors in the free tank pack! Almost all of Jane's colors will match the basic colors she uses! Yes, I am in love with this shop!

Beside Jane's shop is a little hair shop, Raspberry Aristocrat, where we picked up a fat pack of Chai Anxiety hair in 29 colors. You will be able to find a color you like in this pack. It's a great everyday style too!

Now off for shoes. We went to Maitreya where we got a box of basic pumps when we joined the group. There are 15 colors of pumps in this box! A color to match just about everything you will ever own! A fantastic deal just for joining a group!

We went to Candy Nails to get a manicure. For joining her group you will get a set of prim nails that are lovely! We got the January birthstone nails. Then we waited by the lucky board for another set of nails!

It was a good exercise in free shopping!

EUPHORIA ~ Sim Hunt

Euphoria is having a sim wade hunt that is quick, easy & brings you some nice gifts. I did the hunt in around 30 minutes!

Here are a sampling of the items you can find.

First this little navy dress is from Baiastice, the earrings are found st Sigma and the skin is at CIA Designs (which also has some really cute outfits for little linden!).

Next is a dress from Chantkare which I pared with a little jacket from The Secret Store (look at the great prim buttons!).

These are really some great boots from Muism. They are scripted to change to 4 different colors too.

Lots of fun things in this little hunt! A hunt for those who don't really like to hunt!

There are lots of great shops on the Euphoria sim! A great sampling of what SL has to offer in high end goods. They also offer a rewards system as an added incentive to shop there!

We Love Free Shooz!

And we love the great styles at N-Core!!! One of my first pair of heels in my shoe collection is a pair of N-Cores. I still love them & still wear them a lot.

These little booties with socks are going to be a new favorite in my collection, I'm sure!  They are so nicely textured from the leather of the bootie to the knit of the socks. To get them just join the group & wear your tag. The group is free to join.

Menu driven, you can do so much with these booties. There are 3 colors you can choose from, red, white & black, the socks can be worn or not and if you choose to wear them, you have the option of 11 colors! Laces, lace rings & soles can be changed as well as resizing. A great little pair of booties.
