hello sailor!

Happy Memorial Day! How did you celebrate? As many of you know, the United States honors all the men and women who died while serving for our country on Memorial Day. Today also marks the start of the summer season! Speaking of summer, that means it's bathing suit weather. The super cute Hello Sailor swimsuit by Magritta has a ton of vintage flair. It comes with the shoes and an easy to use skin and nail hud, the little sailor hat, and prop life preservers.

Vintage Swimsuit

One preserver goes around your waist and the other you wear on your right hand, click, and your avi goes into a little hold pose.  Mind you though, I'm using pose balls so that's the animation you see.  If you're looking for mesh swimwear, you can visit Magritta's store inworld or on Marketplace. It comes in gold and pink too. It's absolutely adorable! Happy shopping and, one last, Happy Memorial's Day!

summer time sizzle

I love this print so much that I threw on a tan! As most of Sam's creations, Liv Glam's Fenyang Print Dress comes with a color change hud, so if you aren't feeling the orange like I did, you can change ;) However, orange and tangerines are such cheerful summer time colors, but, then again, the other shades via the hud are too.

LIV Glam with Orange Print

Fenyang is made of mesh, so the slim fit embraces your upper torso and cascades into crisp tiers.  It's a summer sizzler for sure.  If you just love this type of silhouette, there are other prints to choose from as well. Actually, there are always brand new prints and styles over at Liv Glam, so click here for your limo. Happy shopping!

a bohoemian chic connection

Have you been to Designer Showcase yet? May is about to end, so that means the current Designer Showcase round is about to end too. Sassy has a super cute dress for this month's collection.  I absolutely love handkerchief hems and bold prints, so Sassy's  Bohemian dress and I made a connection.

There are loads of other items for discount prices, so head on down. This month's collection will end May 30. Click here for your lift to Designer Showcase.

long weekends

I love long weekends! I'm USA, so it's our Memorial Day Weekend. Yes, it's actually on Monday, but we celebrate all weekend long. What are your plans? I think I'm going to sit out in the sunshine and read some chick lit. I haven't done that in ages!

For Acid Lily

All you USAers play it safe and have a happy holiday!

a fairy's tale

I'm a big fan of tattoos in real life, but I only have a few. I have to make sure I really want it...you know what I mean? However, in SL, we can wear as many or as little as we want and change whenever the mood strikes. If you want to make a romantic gesture, try on Cake's "Tattoo Fairy" so your honey can read how much he or she means to you.

Acid Lily Fairy Tattoo

The poem goes like this:

I love you for giving your heart to me

and trusting me with your pride
I love you for wanting me
and needing me by your side

I love you for the emotions
I never knew I had
I love you for making me smile
Whenever I was sad

I love you for your thoughts of me
because I'm always on your mind
I love you for being that missing part of me
that I thought I would never find

I love you for the way you are
and for how you make me feel
But most of all I love you
because I know you're mine for real

by Ashley Anderson

Aww! Sweet huh? I hunted down the writer, and there is a small difference but it mostly seems like Cake grammatically cleaned it up. Which is always nice!  My real life sister got a tattoo and the novice tattoo artist misspelled a word. Yikes!  Anyway, you can find the tattoo at a promo price (65L) over at Acid Lily, but probably for only one more day before they clear out and make room for the next round of deals.

I <3 Nerds and Boys

Now that I'm older, I realize it's totally ok for others to label me as a nerd. It sure sucked when I was younger though :P

Ok...minor vent over! I didn't intend for my latest post to delve into my childhood insecurities.  I suppose it just happened organically because of Liv Glam's Molly. The mesh mini dress  has a variety of textures to choose from and my favorites were "Nerd" and "Boy."

In the Crystal Cave

Have you headed down to Acid Lily Gallery yet? You can find LMD's Charlotte there for a promo price of 70L. It has such a tropical feel to it. If it were a bit later in the day, I would have accessorized it with a fruity cocktail with a little umbrella.  However, it was still relatively early in the afternoon for me ;)

LMD Acid Lily

It comes in other colors too, so you have a nice selection to choose from. By the way, I shot this picture at Hathors Garden's Crystal Cave. If you've been looking for in-world photo opportunities, you should definitely visit.

an almost summer day's green dream

Acid Lily Gallery has new collection out for conscientious shoppers, and it seems summer is in the air. Duck or Swan's Kiki skin is gloriously tanned, while Lavanda Chic's colorful maxi skirt affords the opportunity to wear a crop top and show off some skin. By the way, the skirt comes in other colors, but I was in a green type of mood.

Acid Lily May 14 Monday

Also, Candy Metal's Suvi Platforms will be a cute addition to any warm weather outfit. The foot texture is rather nice, and while it's always difficult to predict everyone's wind light settings, it's easy enough to find a tone that fits your skin and your favorite wind light. Click here for your ride to Acid Lily Gallery!

PS...

There are two group gifts at Acid Lily. I already blogged  about LMD's Jilly maxi dress in blue, but I thought you should know it's one of the gifts for you. Make sure to join Acid Lily's in-world group in order to get your free gifts. Happy shopping!

a foreign affair

Yesterday, I had quite the adventure in Milan.

[caption id="attachment_2104" align="alignnone" width="500"]Where is he? Wearing Prism Babe by Journey - Daisy[/caption]

The train rolled in, but he wasn't on board.

Ooh, I wonder where she got her dress.

[caption id="attachment_2105" align="alignnone" width="500"] Wearing Egoisme - Sundress - Watercolors Multi, Evian Petra pale skin, and free Egoisme Smartphone gift[/caption]

Maybe he missed it. I guess I'll go shopping as I wait for the next train to roll in.

Milan sightseeing

Gorgeous new gowns...I want them all! Hmm...maybe it's not wise to shop on an empty stomach.

[caption id="attachment_2108" align="alignnone" width="500"] Wearing Evian Aphrodite pale skin[/caption]

I've been sitting here for hours and still no sign of him.

In the meantime...

[caption id="attachment_2109" align="alignnone" width="500"]Where is she? Wearing !BeUp! Outfit #3 from SL Fashion Week and Evian Skin Eros[/caption]

The handsome man wonders where is she? She said she would meet me right here. I suppose I'll look around, but night is falling. Wait...

"Laylah? Is that you?"

Milan Happy Ending

Yes...a long super long post, but the moral of the story...find your boyfriend before you window shop. Ok, that's not really a moral. I wanted to just show Egoisme's gorgeous new mainstore :D

According to their press release:

“The new Egoisme store is a new concept; not just a place where you can buy fashion and skins but a piece of RL art in SL."

Egoisme 1

You can visit the place, learn about it and discover a new world. In Milan this Gallery is called also Milan's drawing room, or "salotto di Milano" because it is elegant, you can shop and sit in the famous art nouveau style cafe.

Egoisme 2

"Art and fashion in the same place, which is an experience we made years ago and now we bring to next level, using the mesh technology, and new creations in theme. Egoisme will now launch many new pieces with some special offers to celebrate the new store."

Egoisme 4

"Plus our goal is to produce an Art Expo and we will launch new projects and transform the Egoisme main store into a real place where customers are protagonists and where people can finally discover real life architecture and art in a virtual setting.”

It's a beautiful place to take location shots! Take the teleport to Egoisme and see it for yourself.

15 shades of boho chic

PurpleMoon's Meadow Maxi dress is stylish, boho chic, and versatile all rolled into one. If you love to wear a certain silhouette, but you yearn for color or pattern changes, Meadow Maxi allows you to do that with just one click.

Purple Moon Maxi

All you do is wear the hud (and the dress at the same time of course!), and click on the pattern you want to wear that day. Boom! It's an instant outfit change.

pm hud_001

It's very cool. I love it when outfits come with a hud such as this because it doesn't take up as much space in our inventories. Yay for SL technology!

Don't forget that you must buy the initial dress in order for this to work. While the hud I'm showing has all the patterns available, you can also choose specific huds if you only fancied the striped, floral, or circle print.  Click here for your lift to PurpleMoon and happy shopping!

I have to confess...I love movie musicals! I rented Rock of Ages a couple of weeks ago, and I still have 80's rock music in my head. By the way, Candy Metal has just the dress if you happen to love heavy metal. Heavy Metal Girl is available in four styles, and you can find them this week at Acid Lily Gallery for a promo price.

jet setter

Egoisme has something new for the ladies, and it's all about Satin and Silk. It made me feel like vacation for some reason. Do you love to travel? I love to fly in real life because I like to get to my next destination quick. Some argue driving is nice because of the view, but I say the world looks prettier from above.

By the way,  I was in New York this morning, and Egoisme's strapless top and Satin and Silk pants were the perfect date outfit. The tight mesh pants show off girly curves, and you are able to wear them with high heels or flats because there are two versions.

Aww...my boyfriend doesn't want to let me go, but I made plans...

Ego New York

...in Hollywood. As the sun sets, Sunshine and I are ready to have a girl's night out! Another of Egoisme's releases is the sweet Satin and Silk off shoulder blouse. The strapless blouse and off shoulder blouse have tons of gorgeous colors and prints for you to choose from. You have a choice in the color of pants too.

how to feel rich

Sascha Frangilli brings us a sensational gown called Damatjo. With that in mind, do you feel up to a little Sascha Designs' trivia? There's only one question: Who was crowned Ms. Sascha Top Model 2012? Ding, ding, ding if you guessed Damatjo Magic! Her namesake gown is partially mesh, so you have that smooth and realistic looking body and keep the movement of traditional flexis.

Sascha Dama

It's quite the combination, and, like most of Sascha's gowns, you have many colors to choose from and many ways to wear it. I felt mysterious today, so I coupled it with the sensational hat. I must admit that I felt rich while wearing Damatjo, so if you like to feel wealthy too, I encourage you to teleport to Sascha's and get your favorite color.
