A Whisper In My Ear

aeva heart sick photo

I’ve decided today that I’m going to go all dark and spooky for this post, which is why I’m posing in this graveyard which is giving me the heebie-geebies terribly.

The pose you see that I am using  in this post is from Model Poses who at the moment is having the Gumdrops Hunt. Inside each gumdrop is 3 different poses, each gumdrop is 5L with a total of 14 gumdrops to find. 42 poses for 70L? What a great deal, especially if you’re wanting to stock up on new poses. I have some event exclusives to show off to you all. The dress I am wearing is by Sakide which is an exclusive item for the “For Aeva Heartsick” fundraiser. Personally I love this fundraiser because it is to help out a fellow secondlife player/creator so that they won’t have to leave our beloved secondlife with their great creativity.

The beautiful mesh necklace I am wearing today is brought to you by Adore&Abhor which also is an exclusive for the “For Aeva Heartsick” fundraiser. I absolutely love this necklace because of the simulation of it dripping/melting.

Okay I think I just heard someone say my name so I’m running out of this place.

See you all later!

Putting the Fine in Finesmith

Finesmithblog

If for whatever reason you missed, Love’s FabFree Designer of The Day post on April 26th regarding Finesmith, then I am here to remind you to visit the store. This fierce take no prisoners pink and spiked jewelry set is everything with the earrings, necklace, and bracelet!  Now I don’t mind piecing together different jewelry pieces, but I love it when I can just slip on an entire set and know it will seamlessly go together! I actually first went to the store to retrieve the April gift, pictured below, and a few days later they had the May gift was out! Actually to be quiet honest, they have a series of group gifts available, just ready for the taking! Even better, the group is free to join! I know its a battle to manage which 42 groups to keep on your list, but I can tell you, that Finesmith has stayed on my group list for a very long time. The quality and detail of their jewelry is amazing, and the fact that a little piece of their creativity is released each month is just purely wonderful.

The April gift comes with the earrings, necklace, and collar as separate pieces. What I like about that is, if I don’t want such an extravagant look, I can choose not to wear the collar piece while just sporting the other two items.

The Glitterati group is 50L to join, but there are tons of gifts from the past few years still available, and a new gift is set out every month.

The group is currently free to join, but only through the end of the day tomorrow, April 30th; as of May 1st, a join fee will be imposed.

Portland Poser

After spending so much time outdoors in the garden, enjoying springtime…I just had to get away to the city and enjoy the lights and nightlife. So I hopped on the Max and headed to the Portland Connection.

While in Portland, I wanted to show off my fancy new poses                                                                                 that were a part of Diesel Work’s April group gift.

Here I am in front of Dusty’s Cafe showing off gift pose number one from Diesel Works.                       Did you know Portland, Oregon is the City of Roses? It is really a beautiful city.

Portland Japanese Gardens

Even though I enjoyed the cityscape, I could not resist stopping by the Japanese Gardens.

Show Me the Shoes

Have you ever started getting dress, and got to the point where you had the grand task of trying to find the perfect shoes? This is my dilemma on the daily. I stand on my pose stand, plucking through the items of my inventory, trying to find the right pair of shoes for a particular outfit. I attach, I detach… I attach, I detach, the endless cycle that usually ends with me wearing one of my “go-to” shoes. You know the pair, they usually go with everything, and it makes life easier to just suck it up and put them on… especially when you have impatient family members telling you to hurry up and finished getting dressed. Well the other day, I said, enough was enough, I needed to find more shoes! Because we all know, a lady can never have too many shoes. RIGHT?!
VG Moto boots
So my first stop on my hunt for shoes, was a trip to VG shoes. The last time I went there, I was not disappointed. So on my return trip, I was all to thrilled to see some new goodies.

VG Moto Boot 2
Item one is their VG Moto Unisex Olive boot, which does come with resize scripts for adjusting the size. When I first put them on, they were a little too big, so I went ahead and made them smaller. My favorite part about these shoes, are the studs! It is an excellent decorative touch!

VG Dolce
The second item up for grabs are these VG Dolce Nude shoes! I get excited just thinking about them! I love it when designers allow for texture changes through a hud. This means, you can remix the look of the shoe to match the outfit you are wearing. The overall shoe remains nude, but where you see the red, that can be changed to a few other patterns through the shoe hud. You can also change the spike and studs from silver to gold!
VG Dulce Shoes

Now the shoes aren’t free, you have to join the free VG shoes group in order to purchase each pair of shoes for $15L. All together this was $30L’s well spent!

Just Design Deviant Shoes 2
My last shoe find was from Just Designs, they currently have this beauty out as a group gift. The group is free to join, and these JD Deviant shoes are free for the taking. The detail, the fierceness, the whole design of the shoe just demands a closer look! I do have to give some credit to my mom, she’s the one that told me about this find! Hi^5!

Epic Findings at the Spring Fling Hunt

You have one more day to hop on over to Epicosity’s Spring Fling Easter Hunt & Market! The folks at Epicosity are celebrating Spring, and have invited some wonderful designers to join in the celebration. Over 22 eggs are hidden in the Spring Fling area, but you only have until April 3rd (tomorrow) to find them! I didn’t find all the eggs, but I’ll show you a few of the items I did find. You’ll be looking for a small Easter egg… all prizes are free (oL).

Lucifer’s Heart <3′s New Residents!

Hello Fabulouses! I’ve been super sick for the past couple of weeks, and I am SO glad to be back now. Feels kind of like I’ve been climbing out of a big hole… I’m still not at the top, but at least I can see daylight now! But enough about me… I’ve got a lot to show you tonight! :-)

lh2f

Here at FabFree, we have a special interest in helping new residents find something great to wear. That’s why I was particularly happy to hear that Lucifer’s Heart was offering a special “Noobie Gift” for new lady residents who are 60 days or younger. I’m only showing you two of the outfits here, but there are quite a few items in the box. You’ll have to go grab the box to find out what else is in there! And be sure to also pick up the 1L pair of eyes while you’re there (free for everyone). Here, I’m wearing the Vicky pants with the Olivia top and Sami bra. And who are my friends? I’ll tell you that in a moment. ;-)

lh10f

I know redheads aren’t supposed to wear orange, but I really liked this cute, mesh Paige dress. It also comes in teal, and there are similar dresses in steel and maroon. Oh, I should tell you that my poses are from the March gift by Diesel Works. They’re free for everyone this month, so head over and pick up these fun poses!

My skin (below) is Glam Affair’s long-awaited (by me, anyway) Zara skin, which is available now at The Skin Fair. She’s not free, but is so beautiful and detailed that I couldn’t resist showing her to you. My eyes are the new Ardent Eyes by IKON, available now at The Boutique. These are also not free… but yowza… gorgeous! :-D

lh13f

I love cameras, especially old cameras, so I also couldn’t resist showing you this Vintage Camera Charm necklace by (Yummy), available at this month’s round of Collabor88. The bow comes in 5 different colors, and you can wear it with or without a shadow. My earrings are today’s Easter Hunt prize from Pure Poison. Love told you about this hunt earlier today; a new pair of earrings will be set out for you to find every day through April 3rd, and all items are 10L.

Ok, now about my friends. :-) I’m here at the Canis Beach Dog Park because the Virtual Kennel Club is releasing a new pet and holding a “Guess the Next Breed Competition.”  Stop by any of the VKC dog parks before Friday, March 29, 2013, at 5:00 pm SLT, to offer your guess, and be entered to win the newest VKC pet, absolutely free (you’ll need to join the free Virtual Kennel Club group in order to participate). Six (6) potential winners will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received by the deadline. Hints and more information are available here. Good luck to you!
