Balloons

Today I am wearing, yes you've guessed it...more items from Designers United. This cute 'Broken Mirror' dress is from Fore, and the hair is from Tiny Bird at the Hair Fair.

This fabby balloon prop is from my dear friend Milli Santos, of 'No Strings Attached'. Milli has clearly been having a few sleepless nights lately, as she's released so many new poses and props over the last couple of weeks! This balloon prop complete with poses is part of a series of circus themed props! You can visit No Strings Attached at Oubliette here!

Project Donate

Just a little post today ;-)

More hair fair fun, with this style from Dernier Cri called Dove. Being a really long style and normally quite difficult to photograph, I was chuffed to see a second set of long hair poses had been released by Katey Coppola at Glitterati however, this set is available only at the Project Donate sim.

Project Donate is an endeavour started by Truth Hawks of well, yanno...Truth. Over 150 content creators have come together to raise money for UNICEF. All items on the sim during this event will have from 50% to 100% of the proceeds going directly to the UNICEF Pakistan Flood Crisis. Project Donate will run until 19th September.

The dress I am wearing in this picture is from Fore at Designers United. Not that you can see alot of it!

The truth or something beautiful?

I think I might just set up camp on the Designers United Sim until the event finishes. If I bought a really small tent and they might not even notice me if I picked a corner somewhere ;-)

So, it's fair to say I am in love with almost every item in the event, infact I'm considering proposing marriage to this *fabulous* gown from Kyoot! There are -so- many cuter interpretations of the Narcissus theme at the event that it's great to see a few darker items, this dress included.

I love everything about this dress. It's extravagant shape and the petal effect on the base of the skirt (even though my picture is too fail to show it all), the flowers on the shoulderpiece, the mesh overlay, the shoulderstrap design. It's gorgeous.

I wanted to add a short hairstyle so the shoulderpiece on the dress was fully visible, then remembered this style from Kin that I've had in my inventory since my very first month in SL.

Don't forget, you can visit the Designers United Sim HERE!! Happy Shopping!!

Designers United 4

Yesterday saw the start of the Designers United 4 event. Designers United is a 12 day long fashion event featuring exclusively created products from a group of talented designers, based on a theme. Each designer has created items specifically for this project, and they will only be available for sale for a limited period of time.

The theme chosen is "Narcissus", and the designers have interpreted this theme to make items based on the colors, textures or feelings evoked by this flower or myth.
The event is being hosted by the Floyd sim, and will be running until September 15th.

Today I have chosen 3 outfits with items from Boom, Milk Motion, This is a Fawn, [Glow] and Balaclava all at Designers United which you can find HERE!

Hair Fair Goodness!

So after 30 mins of clicking a TP button, followed by about 25 minutes of extreme duck walking and moonwalking across a packed full sim, I managed to get ahold of the 3 hair styles I was *most* excited about from the Hair Fair!! These 3 styles are from Exile, Atomic and Clawtooth respectively.

Remember, the hair fair runs until the 19th September and benefits the Wigs for Kids charity!!

Hunter

Yesterday I had some fun playing around with the new Trinity Vampire skins from Redgrave. I'd been admiring them for a while and finally decided to blog them. I'm showing the hunter skin today, although there are two other skin tone options and ALOT of makeup options for this skin, ranging from sedate to full on gore!! Yay!! Pretty obvious what I'll be going to my next SL costume party dressed as ;-)

Yeah yeah, my vampire girls walking in the sunlight in this picture...maybe she's had some fairy blood!

I've teamed the skin with an outfit from the stupendous Scarlett Niven. I've had this in my inventory for a couple of weeks - it looks perfect with the skin!

September Days

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.
