Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Hey y’all! I fear that my favorite season might really be coming to an end. Luckily, I found the perfect little outfit to wear while I enjoy every last speck of Summer, before mean old Autumn shows up and invites his even worse pal Winter along.

Belle Epoque has put out a new free group gift and it is seriously fabulous. All of the little details make it stand out from the crowd, like the adorable little ruffles and some really great lacing on the back of the top…and other details that I don’t know the names for because I don’t know how to fashion. But they’re really cute, see? It comes in one size, which is not labeled but which fits my Maitreya body perfectly. The Belle Epoque group is 10L to join and is it worth it? You know it! Besides this, there are a handful of other must-have gifts on the wall in the store.

Where do we go? Where do we go now?

You guys, this morning I put my baby girl on the school bus for her first day of Kindergarten. She was so excited and waved happily out the window as the bus drove away. I am…okay, kind of. I know she’s going to do great but I could use some hair pats. haha So I called my mom to apologize for ever growing up and putting her through this and then I came here to find something pretty to distract myself with.

My Distraction

This sweet dress was only 25L at Belle Epoque. It is marked down for yesterday’s 25L Tuesday and was still discounted this morning when I went and scooped it up for myself. You can choose either the white that I’m wearing or pink. Both are lovely and have that classy, timeless look that I’ve come to associate with Belle Epoque. I stuck around and took my picture on Belle Epoque’s pretty sim. Even in this gorgeous location and wearing these fabulous things, I realize that this probably isn’t my best work. But I’m fragile right now, okay? Just tell me I’m pretty and give me chocolate and/or bourbon. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go see how much L I can blow on gachas.

Born to Stand Out

Just another day in paradise – but this time in my fave colours!  You can’t beat the electric blues, purples and pinks in my opinion, especially when you were born to stand out!

It’s Sabotage!

My sleek and colourful tresses and visor come courtesy of Sabotage.   They’ve got a free group gift out right now, and it’s really fantastic – you get several different colours of this visor (I went with purple, because PURPLE!), as well as the gorgeous hair that goes with it!  I of course went with the intense hues, but there are a whole bunch of different colours to choose from in the HUD.  The Sabotage group is free to join, so head over there and pick up this generous gift!

Beach Bunny

Bathing suit-wise, I’m donning another find on the Belle Epoque Summer Hunt.  I love the colours (of course) but also the criss-crossing pink ribbon across the front.  So good right?  If you haven’t taken part in the Belle Epoque Summer Hunt yet – see my previous post about it HERE and check out all the prizes you can find, each costing just 10 Lindens each!  All prizes on this mini hunt are sized for Maitreya bodies.  Good luck!

Anyone want to play volleyball?

Reveling in the Rustic

I’m having a rustic moment here.  Well, as rustic as you can be in a pretty dress, heels and a flower crown, but work with me here!  I’m getting warm evening, sun going down, corn on the cob kinda vibes.  If you really think about it there are flowers in mason jars, and strings of lights hung over picnic tables – and not in the pretentious, fake way!   Well, maybe a little fake since it is Second Life, but you know….I’m going as pixel-authentic as I can!

La Belle Epoque

To channel this earthy, simple summer vibe, Belle Epoque has all you need!  They have a Summer Hunt going on, with loads of pretty things for you to search for and craft the perfect summer look.  Just search around the store (and outside too) to find the little water droplets that contain a prize.  There are 28 gorgeous pieces to find – each costing only 10 Lindens.  I chose items number 20 and 26 – This gorgeous Midi Length Dress, and the fantastic flower crown that you must admit really is a statement piece.   I’ve added the key to the hunt below so you can choose which items you love (or just grab them all…I won’t judge).  All hunt items are sized for Maitreya.

Happy Hunting!

A Fish Out Of Water

Good morning Fabulous Readers! I couldn’t help it… As soon as I saw the vendor ad for The Belle Epoque Ocean’s Daughter gacha set at The Arcade Gacha, I knew I was going to play it.  I have been watching the Siren TV series (which is fantastic, btw) recently and am BIG into mermaids!  I made my way in to The Arcade yesterday and managed to pick up a few of the core pieces to put together my Fish Out Of Water looks.

About Ocean’s Daughter

This beautiful set includes 26 pieces at 75L a play, including 1 rare which is the Mermaid Tail (inc. texture change HUD & AO) that allows you, once complete to put together a mermaid look shown above wearing the rare tail and the top – or the sea legs look as shown below wearing the skirt and top without the tail.  There are several accessory pieces as well, but I had a couple of my own already so I went with those to save a few plays.

Tale As Old As Time

Okay, what do you think of this one? Better or worse then the last 8 that I tried on? At least in SL we don’t need to worry about going back for a different size, they’re all already included in one handy dandy folder. If only RL shopping were as simple. *Sigh* Now that I think about it, a HUD to change clothing colors in RL and windlight settings to fix that dreadful lighting would be nice too. Is someone keeping a list? We need to make this happen.

Nevermind that I match the dressing room

When it’s such a pretty color, surely matching the walls isn’t really a bad thing. This very ladylike and elegant dress is the newest group gift from Belle Epoque. The group is 10L to join. If matching the walls isn’t your preference, there are a bunch of other springy, happy colors to choose from in the included HUD.

And shoes to match

I love a great pair of heels. These are a Teleport Hub group gift from G&D. It’ll cost you another 10L to join the group and you’ll get the heels sized for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.

Catching some voodoo…

While Aline was checking out music videos , I was outside on the docks listening to the serenade of tree frogs and crickets. I think I’m going to convince Aline to get out with me here more often. I could use some of her style advice to spice up my wardrobe. Maybe I’m too drab? I dunno! But I think this dress is a little voodoo/witchy so I think Aline would approve… what you do you think?

Catching some voodoo.

Get some voodoo for yourself and pick up this black dress from Santino Design by joining the group (it will only set you back 5 little linden) and then you can grab this great group gift. There’s actually a wall full of fantastic past group gifts that you can grab while you are there at the main store. I was tempted to show you some of the past group gifts as well, but decided to stick to this most recently out group gift instead.

All the sizes! It comes in some great sizes too. Just look at what you get:

• Fitmesh XS – L
• eBody
• Maitreya
• Ocacin
• Physique & Hourglass
• Freya, Isis, & Venus
• TMP
• Tonic Fine & Curvy

Well I’m signing off. I think I’ll crash head over to Aline’s place to see what music she is playing and find out if she’ll let me in to listen to her music with her! Maybe if I bring Twizzlers she’ll let me get away with it!
