Miami Vice

 

Nostalgia – 80’s Style…

It’s been a thing lately. I’ve been yearning all things circa 1980’s. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m at that point in my life I’m starting to miss all the things that influenced the person I became. I have been rediscovering the movies, the music and the TV shows. I caught an episode of Miami Vice and remembered the fashion trend that the show started. The sports jackets over pastel t shirts. Neon and pastel colors, deck shoes were all trendy fashion back in the day.

When Neons and Pastels were the craze…

My look today mimics the style that Don Johnson (Dakota Johnson’s dad, for you youngsters) made famous. I found the Daniel Blazier, a new release at A&D Clothing (not free) for that jacket over t-shirt look. I then turned to the Marketplace and browsed the Pepper store for other pieces for my outfit. The Chino Trousers in light plum (10L) and the all white Slip on Sneakers (2L) makes my 1980’s Miami look complete.

The Essence of Peppered Paper.Dolls

There is a new wind blowing in this month and it’s bringing all kinds of Valentine pinks and reds.  This is good news for me, because I love both pink and red and all things about love.

I am so excited about the latest group gift from Paper.doll!  As mentioned in her group notice, Zoey was a bit late due to RL getting this one out as it was supposed to be January’s gift, but it was SO worth the wait!  This gorgeous hot pink partial mesh dress (which I ❤ because it keeps your unique shape and has no garage door flap skirt prim!) comes with Lola Appliers too (which I am not wearing) and includes the red belt.  The low cut back is a really sexy feature too!  The group is 200L to join, but I’m always pleased with the gifts and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for February.

The skin I am in today, I found in Round 5 at The Dressing Room Fusion.  It is made by Essences and is called Wednesday / Candy.  I am wearing the sunkissed version, but it is available in three skin tones for just 70L per tone.  It comes with blonde, red and dark brows and some blush make up tattoos as well!

My fun Valentine Jewelry Set  by Pepper that includes the heart necklace, bracelet and ring, is currently featured at The Perfect Wardrobe for 90L.  The Love Doodles Travel Bag is a mesh creation and is a freebie on Marketplace from Bella’s Lullaby.

Wearing His Clothes

This photo kind of reminds me of the old days when my Mom used to drag me to my Grans house for tea, and it was fine for the first hour, but man…  “Is it time to go yet?”.   I had things to shop for and boys to chase.  Of course now I’d sit with her for tea all afternoon if I could 🙂

 This look was inspired by a long sleeved T-Shirt freebie from Kal Rau (which is actually a mens store, but it fits me great!) that says “love is good”.  Maybe this is self serving.. but I liked it lol.  This shirt can be found at the entrance of the store for free and there is another one of the same style that says “sexy time”, as well as a jacket.  The I Stole His Jeans denim pants are part of the Finding FabFree Hunt gift from Allusions.  My accessories are also free….  The Gone Clubbin Bag is the latest group gift at Pepper (30L to join) and the sunglasses can be found on marketplace in the K_gs Store.

Urpy Booshies & Other Blue Stuff.

I’m not sure how I missed it yesterday when I was at RibboN waiting for lucky chairs and scanning the store, but Lucia Tophat showed me last night that there is one of these great new skirts (same as the one in the lucky board), in navy/lavender dots priced at 1L unadvertised at the front of the store!  (tnx Lucia!).  It is a mesh creation and comes in 5 sizes with an alphalayer.

The navy blue top I am wearing is the Needful things.romper.series two colors from Jane.  I am sure this has been blogged before, but it went perfect with the skirt!  It’s a body suit that comes in a whole fatpack of colours.  There is also a tank top out for free in a fatpack of colours.  These tops are perfect basics and with all the colours in the packs you’ll be sure to find one that matches your bottom of choice!  Also at Jane is the Grace Dress shown in the photo below.  Simply join the free subscribomatic and you are sent a three pack of the mesh Grace Dresses in Navy, Apricot & Khaki.

You can find the Cupcake Mouthie as a free group gift at Pepper.  The group is 30L to join and they have monthly gifts and usually a dollarbie on the counter.

If you are anything like me…  you like having cute critters around  in SL but don’t want the guilt of having them die when you forget to feed them  (oooops)…  This Urpy Neckwarmer is perfect!!  It looks just like the breedable Urpy pets, but has none of the scripts – strictly decorative and unable to starve!  You can find this for free at Booshies hidden in a CMFBH2 Icon.  The Cover My Furry Butt Hunt 2 is geared towards furries and runs from July 12th – August 7th.

Do You Remember Cassettes?

This Cassette Necklace from Pepper that is currently set out as a 5L Dollarbie had me cracking up, remembering when my son found an old cassette of mine and had no idea what it was! I explained to him about how the tape always came loose  and we had to wind it back up – sometimes tape it back together, and how we had to actually wait to rewind it – ha ha ha…  The good ole days!

CandyMetal has their July Group Gift set out that includes the mesh top and zebra skirt in the beautiful muted shades of green/brown.  The group is 25L to join, but they always have great treats for members, so the 25L won’t hurt much!  I went to Duh! in search of some shoes to wear with my new outfit, and found that they have their Dolly Pumps in Brown set out as a totally wearable demo for free!

Freebie Mashup

I have a bit of a mashup of freebies to show you in this post.  Bare with my hopping back and forth between hunts and stores lol!  In the photo above I am wearing a Valentines Day gift that Pepper sent out to it’s group members.  The cozy sweater in black  is so cute with the cigs…  hmm  or is it candy?  in the front pocket and the belt that is attached.  The Pepper group is 30L to join and you can find the gift in the notices.  The Used Jeans I picked up at M&C Factory by finding the WomenStuff Hunt Icon.

I stopped at Seraphim last night and saw that they have a brand new round of treats for us!  All you have to do is join their group which is free, and then you can pick up all of the gifts all over the walls.  I fell in love with this Cozy Wolf Longsleeve made by Indie Kids and the Concrete Flowers Celtic Heart Necklace and had to show them right away lol, but I will go back and show more soon!

Pepper is participating in the Zombie Popcorn Hunt and their prize is the Paula skin which I am wearing with the black painted eyes, freckles and red lips.  This skin goes fabulous with the Zombie Popcorn Hunt Prize from Blah!  Find the red and white popcorn bag at Blah and you will have the My Virus Love Dress below for free!

Kisses For Jill

I have a couple of Jack Or Jill Hunt gifts to show you as well as a few group gifts!  There are so many good hunts going on right now, I don’t know which way to turn…

In the photo above I am wearing 1Hundred’s Cropped Hoodie that you can wear with or without the included tube top.  You can find this item for free by locating the Jack or Jill Hunt symbol at 1Hundred where everything is 100L or less!  (Love that store!)  The low rise brown suede pants are a group gift from Piccara which you can join for free.  There is also a free skirt that is pretty cute in the subscribomatic at Piccara (not shown).  My brown Bobble Uggs are Pepper’s latest group gift.  The group is 30L to join, but they do have monthly gifts.

In the photo below you will see Sassy!’s Jack Or Jill Hunt gift which is the Urban Girl outfit including the vest and red denim skirt.  The kiss on my cheek is a subscribomatic gift from Izzie’s which was sent over the weekend.  The gift includes several makeup tattoos in different places of the face in both pink and red.  If you are not currently a member, you can subscribe and check the history for the gift 🙂
