summeriness

I’ve been wearing Paper Doll’s Season’s Hunt dress for the past day or so and it’s so adorable..I had talked myself out of blogging it because I’ve seen it in the feeds so much..I probably shouldn’t worry about what else is being blogged and just blog what I like and what I’m wearing that day…I guess we all…well..most of us…strive to find that original style that sets us apart from the rest.

This is the first season since I’ve blogged that I didn’t participate in The Seasons Hunt..I usually do a big post with all of my loot…and as always there is some excellent loot. I did of course still have to go pick up a few of the prizes that I saw on The Rumor blog..if you’ve never checked that blog out you should..and bookmark it too! They always have pics of all the items in the good hunts, FLF items, Project Themeory, all sorts of great deals..all with pictures and links!

shadow play

just practicing on my photoshop shadows..since it’s not looking like I’m going to have them anytime soon. I’ve tried too many viewers to list that have given other Mac users shadows..I guess my graphics card isn’t up to date enough, I don’t know…any suggestions are welcomed!!

I know most of you have already seen all the new goodies from Maitreya…but you haven’t seen them on me! Well..there is a possibility some of you have…since I’ve had this outfit on for the past 4 days or so lol…time to get this post finished and change clothes, dammit!

The new Allegre shoes from Maitreya..***swoons***

Also, have you heard about the Hair Fair flickr photo contest? They’re giving away some really great prizes, the one that really catches my eye is the 1 year Pro Flickr Account…especially since I’m getting the little “renew your subscription” warning every time I log onto Flickr…

wait for me by moonlight

“wait for me by moonlight,
watch for me by moonlight,
i’ll come to thee by moonlight,
though hell should bar the way.”
Alfred Noyes

As promised..2 days later..here is the free jewelry set from Donna Flora..you’ll find it in the jewelry section of the main store beneath the BOSL Award trophy for the Best Jewelry Designer…Congratulations and thank you to Squinternet Larnia..the amazing creator of Donna Flora.

I also wanted to give a huge thank you to Sebastien Aries, creator of Shag Hair for the amazing gifts he sent to the losers everyone who entered his last Flickr photo contest, “Am I Shaggable?” as a “thank you” for participating. “What were the gifts?”,  you ask? Oh, only fatpacks of his 2 latest Hair Fair styles, Bombshell and Ingenue, that’s all…lol…That was the most generous thing, my jaw dropped to the floor when I received it…thank you Seb!!…and to quote a fellow blogger…”you are a God!!!

Olivia!

I’m so excited about Laqroki‘s new Olivia! I mentioned to a friend in my previous post’s comments, “…i was worried at first because i was having puter issues when i was demo’ing it…i think i was seeing olivia mixed with ruth lol…not pretty!“

But when all the kinks were ironed out, and I saw her, it was pretty much love at first sight

 Olivia is 990L$ per skintone, and includes 5 lipstick choices. (above)

They’ve also released eye makeups on tattoo layers that you can buy separately for 120L$ a set. The pic above are the shadows in set 1…set 2 offers blue, green and purple liners..

✿✿✿

I hadn’t been to Donna Flora in quite some time…that store awes me every time I go…so many beautiful things. I absolutely fell in love…(i know, i’m falling in love all the time :p) with the Daria set, (below). They also have a free jewelry set in the store..I hadn’t heard anything about it..I was so excited to find it! I’m going to try to get a pic of it up today but it would be probably be faster to just tp to Donna Flora and get it..I mean, c’mon..a free Donna Flora jewelry set..you know you’re going to want it lol.

friendo till the endo

I love Pepper‘s adorable messenger bag…plus they have some awesome jewelry, and there’s also always a good dollarbie to be found. The bag in the pic below is the boy version but they have a nice selection girls bags as well.

The Miel Friendo bracelet and necklace comes with a hud so you can personalize it with your name, or whatever you want it to say. It’s so well made and when I saw that they were both FLF items (last week) I nearly cried..not because they were such a good deal but because I didn’t have 50 linden, lol. Thank you to my awesome friend Dai for the lovely gift…how did you ever know?? It was just what I wanted!…I guess it could have been that IM I left you crying and whining about how I didn’t have the linden for it….:p

new DUTCH TOUCH & MYSTERY BLOGGER

Megan was my choice of the 2 newly released Dutch Touch skins..You buy a pack of natural, no makeup skins, then you can buy the pack of shadows and the pack of lipsticks so you can put your own color looks together…a dream for someone who can wear multiple tat layers…..(tears falling as i type)…my day will come…I know it will…and by then..there will be something else new and awesome that I can’t use because I have a mac. Hey, I told you I was a pessimist :p

Just for kicks I tried on the 2 new shape demos and I really liked them a lot. If the people that asked me about my shape are reading this now, you should go try the new Dutch Touch shapes Megan and Mensje..they could without a doubt be my cousins…or at least my second cousins twice removed.

I couldn’t resist Peqe’s Blender Wedges with this outfit. Although part of me wanted to play it safe and wear my Coco combat boots, looking at the final pic I’m glad I opted for the wedges. For one thing they are original, funky, well made and just plain cool as s&*t. Another reason is, I love the way they go with the Gfield blouse.

One last thing….I wish I could cue up some cheesy 70′s soundin’ game show music because it’s……….MYSTERY BLOGGER TIME!!!!! (cheers and applause)….This amazing blogger in denial could be the poster child for Dutch Touch, so I thought it was so funny she was standing there as I rezzed in to buy Megan. She normally wears a different color hair, so the blonde may throw you off..but…..Who’s this girl??

UPDATE: Miss Ashe Anthony guessed correctly…this is Neva Seljan of nevamind…one of my very favorite blogs. Biggest Dutch Touch fan on the grid, expert layerer (is layerer a word??) Let me rephrase…she’s amazing at layering, and one of the most modest people you’ll ever meet. She is in total denial of her amazing talents.

I’m so glad I got to meet you “in person” Miss Neva. You are adorable and just as sweet as you look
