Mons Summer Love

Today's look is almost exclusively from Mons.  This gorgeous mesh dress is from the new "Summer Love" collection and the colors are brilliant! I do LOVE my Summer dress from Mons!  I accessorized with the Croco Clutch and the Metal Bangles in gold, also from Mons.  I found the perfect shoes already in my inventory, Mstyle's Goshi Pumps in Magenta.

 

My hair is a beautiful updo from LeLutka called Knotted and I'm wearing the Burnt shade from the dark brown collection.  My skin is one I've shown quite a bit lately, League's Jen in deep tan.  As soon as I was dressed, I spied a wonderful spot right outside the shop for my photos.  It was a lovely day to shop at Mons!

Purple Moon Loveliness

The start of every weekend always calls for a trip to Purple Moon Creations.  I love to pop in and see the deals that have been set out for shop patrons.  This weekend's choices are fabulous!  The outfit I am wearing is called BoHo Look 1 and it is only $55L !  I love the rich colors and the textures are simply magnificent!  There is a second version of this in black and it is also $55L.  An incredible deal and many thanks to Poulet Koenkamp for being so wonderful to us!

I added a lovely set of earrings and necklace from Glow Studio that is available at The Dressing Room Blue for only $70L.  I'm wearing Jen in Deep Tan, the newest skin from League.  My hair is a gorgeous style from LeLutka called Jolie.  The photos were taken at HuMaNoiD, an amazingly photogenic sim that I encourage everyone to visit!

Photography note:  The photos are raw shots without any editing, not even cropping.  The windlight is my current fave, Places Cromac.

Flower Dancer

Sometimes a girl just has to put on a pretty blue goddess dress and twirl about in the flowers.  In fact, I highly recommend it because I was feeling pretty down and out before the dance but afterwards... I was floating on air. :)

Today's look began with a pose.  I love to make poses and had an image in my mind that I wanted to create for a photo at HuMaNoiD (my newest favorite place to take photos, lol).  Once the pose was uploaded to SL, it was time to find the perfect outfit.  This pretty blue goddess costume from SeVered GarDeN has been languishing in my inventory for quite some time and I knew this was the perfect time to use it.  When I checked the Marketplace to see if it was still available, I found it was not only available but being offered at a discount!

Woohoo!  I challenge you to slip on a pretty dress and dance barefoot in the flowers... it's the perfect cure for a bad day!

A Happy Day of Shopping

Today I took a trip to the Cupcakes sim to shop.  It is a lovely shopping area built around a square, making it easy to stroll around to every shop.  

There were so many wonderful things for sale here........ skins, dresses, and shapes galore!  I could barely contain my joy and found myself skipping happily from shop to shop!

In the center of the square, I found some lovely items offered at tremendous discounts!  Two lovely lingerie sets, each only $25L... which one shall I choose?  

Oh!  Look at these lovely mesh sweaters...... only $50L each!  I think I'll take them both!



Just before I left this lovely sim, I found the lucky chairs, midnight mania boards, and the cupcake lottery... hurray!!!  A couple of slaps and a bit of waiting later, I teleported away with some great prizes, fantastic bargains, and a landmark so that I could return later for more shopping fun!

Siss Boom, Coco, LeLutka, and Pepper

Today's look is a mish-mash of things old and new, some free, some not quite free, and some definitely not free. :)

I started with the pants, which are a hunt prize from Siss Boom in the April in Paris Hunt.  They were not quite free...... forgot exactly how much, but it was nominal considering there was a lovely lace top included in the prize package.  My shirt is from Coco... something I purchased in 2011 and love.  Such a clean, sexy, casual look!  My shoes are from Toki Doki and my belt is from Pepper.  The belt  has a texture change menu and I just love all the colorways!  The ring I'm wearing is a free gift from Crash Republic offered at the Kawaii Fair.  It is hard to see how lovely it is in this photo, so go visit Kawai Fair and get your own!

My hair is a gorgeous new mesh style from LeLutka called Trend.  I purchased the light blonde pack and found I really adored the Sookie shade.  My eyes are from Amacci and my skin is League's Jen in Deep Tan.  I took the photos right outside the Siss Boom shop using a free pose set from DottiePops called A is for Attitude.

Sassy @ Zombie Popcorn

A notecard landed in my inventory letting me know that the Zombie Popcorn Collection was all new, so of course I had to hop on over and check it out!  The first thing to catch my eye was this gorgeous dress from Sassy called "Date Night".  It was available in several colors, but this lovely lavender one begged me to take it home. :)  The G Field Eve Flower Pumps were just the perfect style to set off the delicate flowers in the dress.  

My hair is a new mesh style from Magika called "Calm"... hard to see in this photo, but it is a smooth long hair style and the "meshiness" makes it cling to my avatar beautifully.  I love the color change hud that comes with the hair... so convenient!  My skin is a former group gift from Lumiere Skins called "Raine".  I can't locate the Lumiere shop inworld, so I've included a Marketplace link in the credits below.  I love this look.... soft, feminine, and very pretty.

Something New & Blue From Nilsy

This gorgeous blue dress is new from Nils Island Store.  I absolutely love the way the blue satin peplum looks in combination with the sequined dress.  The textures are wonderful and the look is simply fantastic! I added my favorite heels, Maitreya Gold Foxy in Silver and some pretty earrings and a ring from Dona Flora.  I was ready to go out on the town... or at least out for ice cream. ;)

I'm wearing my new favorite skin, League's Jen in Deep Tan, and an elegant updo from Exile called Maylee.  After shopping for jewelry at Dona Flora, I wandered around the sim and found this fantastic spot for a photo.  :)

It's A Sakide, Purple Moon, & Truth Kind Of Day

Did I mention that Purple Moon Creations is having an easter egg hunt?  They are!  There are 10 eggs to be found, eight on the first floor of the store and two across the way in the Boho Shop.  Once found, you can buy an egg for $0L and you will receive the contents of the egg!  It is not a difficult hunt and can be completed in a short amount of time.  I'm showing three items from the hunt... the first is the gorgeous set of purple nails!  The second can be seen better in the photo below.... the purple ruffled pants.  The moment I put the pants on, I wanted to dance! :)

My top is a current Black Market item from Sakide.  It features a wonderful crocheted texture and is embellished with butterflies!  My shoes are a free Easter gift from Aleida.  My hair is a free gift from the Truth Hair subscribo.... a fun, young style called Bunny.  My jewelry was another egg hunt prized from Purple Moon Creations.  The pretty skin I'm wearing is the Atomic Grace skin in buff.  I picked it up for a low price at The Dressing Room Blue last week.

Purple Moon Creations & Truth Hair

I made a quick trip to Purple Moon Creations to check out the Easter Egg Hunt, but came away with this nice mesh skirt and non-mesh top offered as the $55L item for the week!  The mesh skirt comes in two sizes and the larger size fit me perfectly.  I added a pair of G Field's Alex Strap Shoes and finished off the look with a nice set of bangles from Maxi Gossamer Jewelry.

My hair is a new style from Truth Hair called Hilary.  It is rigged mesh so you will need a mesh viewer to see it.  I love the way it hugs my body with none of the hair sinking into my upper body.  The locks flow nicely and frame my face beautifully.  The skin I'm wearing is one that I've shown before... AURA's Briar in Honey.

Color Challenge Week 15 - Seashell Peach

I'll admit that I had a bit of trouble finding the right shade of peach for this week's Color Challenge... so much so that I cheated a bit on the photo and tinted it.  I'm wearing a gorgeous mesh jumpsuit from Hucci.  Four sizes are included in the folder and I had no trouble finding one that fit me.  I'm also wearing a casual updo hairstyle from Exile called Maylee that I just love!  My earrings, which are almost impossible to see in this photo, were made my me and I'm offering them as this week's free gift at DottiePops... so be sure to swing by and pick up your copy!

Chrysalis & A Free Skybox

As I was browsing The Marketplace this morning, I ran across this lovely dress from Chrysalis for an even lovelier price of free!  I quickly placed my order and fell in love with it the moment I put it on.  The white skirt flows beautifully and the black bows and butterflies make it pop!

I added my favorite pair of black pumps from mStyle and one of my favorite hairstyles from Truth called Diana.  I'm posing in a skybox I built this weekend.... one that I'm offering for FREE!  So please come by and pick up one.... it has 35 prims, measures 15m x 15m and is just the right size for a secret hideaway in the sky. :)

Color Challenge Week 14 - Royal Purple

I'll admit, I'm not really a purple lover and I thought that this week's color would really be a huge challenge.... butI found the perfect dress at Gypset Market.  The latest round has just begun at Gypset, so everything there is new new new!  The gown is from Angel Dessous and is the very lovely!  I love the black flowers that embellish the bodice.

My skin is a new offering at GM from BLUSH called Faye.  It is available in four skin tones.  I'm wearing the tan skin today.  I added the Fresca makeup from Madrid Solo that I also found at GM.  Here I'm wearing the eye makeup only.  The lip color is part of the BLUSH skin.

My jewelry is from GANKED, a great set called "Vanity".  I've had it in my inventory for quite a while now and I wear it often!  My hair is from Heart Softens (now closed), a style called Rimi.
