Washed Up On The Shore

Squid Washed Ashore

Hi All!

I know I haven’t posted in a while been mega busy! But with this mass pile up of things to do I did notice all the stores having closing sales. I am sad to say that the store “The Sea Hole” will be closing it’s door after May 31st. All clothes in store have been set to 50L as a big final blowout sale before they close their doors forever! In the mix of this huge sale I grabbed this beautiful tentacle dress with the matching purse which I did not show in the photo above.

Another beloved store is closing sadly. “Adorkable Poses” will be closing it’s doors for good and moving all poses to marketplace only after June 9th. But they also are having a big blow out sale making all poses 50% off. The pose I am using in the photo is from the “25 Days Of Poses” set it is day 22 and only cost me 5L for the single pose.

Well time to head off and go adventuring on this beautiful beach.

See you all later!

Sascha’s, Big and Small

If I were wearing this dress in real life, I’m certain that I would not be prancing through a meadow with deer. However, when I’m taking photos with my RL daughter hanging over my shoulder yelling, “Mommy, Mommy, DEER! Take a picture of the deer! You HAVE to take a picture of yourself with the deer,” then you take a picture of yourself with the deer. So… here we are. Me. And deer.

And a gorgeous gown from Sascha’s Designs! Sascha’s gives a new, different gown to group members every, single month. Plus, past years’ gowns are still out, yours for the taking! Isn’t that worth the 100L join fee? I think so! :-D The skin I’m in today is Charm/Snow by Cupcakes, and is part of a huge gift for signing up for their subscribo. This particular skin comes with black, blonde, brown, and red brows, 4 lipsticks, teeth and freckles tattoos, and a set of eyes. And let me dispel a myth: Cupcakes is not closing. They are retiring their full permission developer kits, but will still be selling the Cupcakes brand of skins. It’s all good. :-)

A few days ago, reader Jadelynne mentioned that you can wear the new Slink Nail Appliers without mesh hands, and I’m happy to say that she’s absolutely right! Behind the mesh hands display at Slink is a vendor for Slink Mesh Nails (150L). The nails auto-fit to your hands, and you can use all of your Slink Nail Appliers with these nails! You really can wear all those awesome, new nail appliers with or without mesh hands! Thank you, Jadelynne, for bringing this to my attention! :-) Oh, and isn’t this jewelry gorgeous? It’s a special Mother’s Day gift from Chop Zuey. The necklace and ring are group gifts (350L to join), and the earrings are free for everyone – no group needed. But hurry! I heard that these gifts will not be out for long, so don’t delay!

sascha_may15_001f

Did you know that Sasha’s Designs is making dresses for petites? I sure didn’t until I found this gown on the wall across from the regular-sized group gifts. Wear your group tag to pick it up; you’ll find it next to the “Just Say No” poster, which I promise you absolutely cannot miss! Both gowns come with a bolero jacket, which I decided not to wear.

Hey, those “cute” deer look kinda scary from down here! Is that little one looking at me? 8O

Mother’s Day in Diamonds, Pearls, and Glitter

It’s Mother’s Day here in the U.S., and I’m just hanging out, waiting for my family to start the lovely garden tea party they’ve planned in my honor. Ok, not really. My RL family plans to buy me a pizza later (I refuse to cook on Mother’s Day), so in the meantime, I’m visiting this gorgeous art installation at LEA23, Inside Art, Through Wonderland. It’s based on the Alice in Wonderland theme, but is unlike any other Alice installations I’ve seen recently. You really must visit, and if you’re into photography, check out the rules for the photo contest at the landing spot. You have until 30 June to enter.

rebel9_001f

What does one wear to a tea party? Well, I’ve selected this lovely, mesh maxi-dress, a free Mother’s Day gift from !Rebel Hope. Their mesh is always exquisite, and this dress is no exception; it fits and moves perfectly, and I love the racerback straps in the back. It comes with the Pearl and Diamond jewelry you see here, as well as the corsage. And what mom doesn’t need a corsage on Mother’s Day? :-)

I was so surprised this morning when I opened my [mock] Cosmetics group notices and found not one, not two, but FIVE different nail applier HUDS for Slink Avatar Enhancement Hands! I’m wearing OMFG Glitter, a dark fuschia glittery nail. The [mock] group is 250L to join, but I can’t tell you enough how wonderfully generous Mockie is with her group members. Yes, I’m getting seriously addicted to these nail appliers, and I hope many designers keep cranking them out! :-D

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all of you moms and moms-to-be out there! It truly is the hardest, most amazing job you’ll ever love. ♥

LCKY + Cute Poison Colors

Above are just a few of the colors available in Shy by [LCKY]. 

The fun Meow necklace is the Pink Fusion Hunt gift from Cute Poison.

That hunt is over but Cute Poison’s prize is still out as of today! Go nab it for five lindens!

The Call Me My Sweetheart necklace I am wearing is a Pink Fusion Hunt Prize (5L) from Just You Jewels.  The Pink Fusion Hunt is now over, but I stumbed across it in the store last night – it’s still available!

Casual Friday at the Cherry Cafe

Thank goodness it’s the weekend! RL work has been kicking my fanny, and I’m so happy to get out in the fresh air. I decided to take my bicycle for a spin and found this cute cafe at Bay City… perfect place to relax with a cup of tea and a good book. 8-)

chan10_001f

I’m wearing a mesh shorts and shirt combo, which is a group gift at CHANDELLE. Now, there are two different VIP groups at CHANDELLE: a free group and a not free group. This gift is for the free group. :-) The shirt comes in white and black, and the shorts come in black, blue, pink, sea (like a seafoam green), and purple, which I’m wearing. I should tell you that these items aren’t exactly made to fit standard sizing. I normally wear a size XS, but here I’m wearing M. But… they’re free, so give ‘em a try, and see if there’s a size for you. My mesh ankle boots are a group gift from *COCO* (free to join). I decided to add a pair of socks from Maitreya, but the boots themselves do not come with socks.

I am so loving the new applier HUD nails for Slink Avatar Enhanced Hands! My RL nails are super short and unpolished, but I never have to leave my SL home without a perfect mani/pedi. These gorgeous nails are the new group gift from Izzie’s (250L to join). There are 10 different designs in the HUD, and appliers for both fingers and toes. My Analog Dog hair is not free, but is featured until May 12th at Genre for 100L. I ♥ the casual, yet sexy, Princess Leia buns. ;-)  Love has shown you this Gold Heart Key necklace before, but I couldn’t resist wearing it myself. It comes in 3 different lengths, and is currently featured as a group gift at Energy Club (free to join). My little Pearl Daisies earrings are one of 3 pairs in a recent group gift from Gossamer Jewellery (I showed a different style here). You’ll find them in the group notices… still there as of tonight, but don’t dawdle, as they won’t be there much longer!

If you would also like the Jade colour shown below, you can take a little walk outside the Even.flow Mainstore, and toodle on over to Acid Lily which is next door, or…  if you are super lazy you can take this TP… lol!  You’ll need to join the Acid Lily inworld group for this one, but it is also free to join.Snapshot_004

Samira By The Sea

kr6_001f

My RL weather is so unpredictable. Most of the time it’s foggy and cold, and I long to escape to a warm, sunny beach. Thank goodness there are plenty of those to visit in SL! Today I’ve escaped to beautiful Baja Norte in my Samira t-shirt and capris, a new group gift from Kastle Rock Couture. My studded boots are not free, but are a brand-new release from [Liv-Glam]. 25 colors are included via HUD (I ♥ HUDs!). :-)

kr10_001f

My necklace is a free gift from Iron Tiger Jewelry, which for those of you who like to wander, is right across from Kastle Rock Couture. My hoop earrings are a free gift from Caroline’s. Finally, as I was browsing the feeds a few days ago, I stumbled on a new-to-me skin shop called POUDRE. I quickly tp’d over, joined the free in-world group, and found this [Eva] skin in the group notices as a gift for getting 1,000 members. I was happily surprised at how pretty this skin is! It comes with or without a hairbase, and includes cleavage, teeth, and freckles tattoos. I apologize for that weird shadow on my chest; it didn’t show up on my computer screen, but mysteriously appeared in my photo, for some reason. I didn’t want you to think it was a flaw in the skin.
