Chamomile to Soothe

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope this past week has been good to everyone. We had elections here in the US; I will admit I was very disheartened on Wednesday when I woke up to find the woman I voted for did not win. I shall try to remain upbeat, and we shall see what happens from here on out. Please be kind to others Tea Readers. And BE SAFE. On with this week's post.

Outfit: Zaara Nadira set in Turquoise @Collabor88, Hair: Lelutka Jasmine, Earrings and Necklace included with Jasmine Hair, Arm Chains and Anklets: Zaara Raksha in Gold, Toe Rings: Real Evil Industries Toe Rings (former exclusive from Epiphany), Belly Tattoo: Mon Cheri release from June's Arcade, Bindi: Truth Kira Bindi (former exclusive from Epiphany), Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and FATElashes, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

Since part of this week was upsetting for me, I decided some retail therapy was needed. Good thing Collabor88 opened on Tuesday! I was very happy about Zaara's new release at Collabor88 this month. It is a silks outfit, and I just LOVE it. The harem pants are sheer, but not so sheer it defeats the purpose of a pant. I adore the work of the top, with the chains dangling off to the side--it adds a bit of delicateness to such a sensual outfit. And of course I had to purchase the fatpack when I saw it. The color packs offered separately come with silver and gold options for the metals. And there is also a separate belt for purchase which comes with gold, silver, dark gold, and dark silver. LOTS of options and combinations for these. The fatpack is 4,888L$ which is a lot but for such a detailed and varied outfit, for me it is well worth the cost. I can see myself wearing these for a long time and pairing all the different colors together.

Dress: Foxes Dip Dress @Collabor88, Hair: Lelutka NV0002, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Bracelet: CAE Engraved Bracelet Sister, Shoes: N-Core KATE Glitter for Maitreya, Necklace: Yummy Talisman Charms Protection, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Eyes: IKON Charm and FATElashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

I liked a few of the other items offered by the creators, but as you know the Zaara release was my favorite. I highly doubt there will be something Zaara Kohime creates which I will not like. Foxes has a lovely dress I thought was perfect for clubbing or just being sexy. Also The Secret Store has a fun Bodysuit which reminding me burlesque shows! Fun purchases for sure!!!

This is where I leave you, Tea Readers. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe week. Don't let others bring you down. You are a bright star and deserve to shine!!! Check out Collabor88 whenever you get the chance. See all the pretty items from the other content creators, and try the Zaara demo. It will be well worth the try. Hugs and Smooches Tea Readers.

Trick or Tea?

Happy Sunday Tea Readers! I hope everyone has had an awesome week. I know this week has gone by super fast for me. Work has been good, my family is doing well, and in Second Life the Epiphany Gacha opened on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Dress: Foxes Dead Cute Dress @Epiphany, Boa: Zenith Shoulder Faux Fur, Boots: Reign Patent Mishi Boots, Hair: Tableau Vivant Lenor, Pet: Foxes Dead Cute Skelecat, Earrings: MaxiGossamer Angelica's Ankh of Power, Necklace: Random Matter Daphne, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and FATElashes, Maitreya Lara Mesh Body

There were three gachas I had to play at Epiphany. I really liked the Foxes gacha, which had these cute skelecat familiars. There are some nice corsets and dresses in the gacha, as well as other spooky familiars--but for me those skelecat familiars were the cutest. I also like the Fawny gacha rare of this cool bodysuit dress with a sheer skirt. I am really liking this sheer skirt fad. There is also a cute three-eyed cat holdable pet.

Dress: Fawny Coven Bodysuit and Skirt @Epiphany, Pet: Fawny Coven Cat for Hand @Epiphany, Boots: Empire Xylobium @in Luxebox for October, Bracelets: CAE Engraved Sisters and Mantra Peace, Hair Tableau Vivant Wicca, Necklaces: Yummy Hamsa, Shining Crystal, Crystal Choker, Rings: Izzie's Spring Midi Rings, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and FATElashes, Ears: Mandala Season 5 Steking

Jian also has these cute Inu-Shiba pets. The rares are dressed up in costumes, the commons range from regular dogs to trick-or-treaters. They also go from companions to wandering pets. I was lucky and got the rare Prince Doggo. He is so adorable!  

Outfit: Blueberry Secret Dress, Hat, and Panties @Epiphany, Boots: Reign Patent Mishi Boots, Necklaces: Yummy Hamsa, Shining Crystal, and Crystal Choker, Hair: Spellbound Malice, Bracelets: CAE engraved sister bracelet and Mantra Bracelet, Rings: Izzie's Spring Midi Rings, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and FATElashes, Maitreya Lara Mesh Body, Pet: Jian Hallow-Inu Prince Doggo Rare @Epiphany

With the Epiphany, you can trade in your extras for Epiphany points and then you can use the points to "buy" exclusive items you can only get for this round. Once the round is over, the exclusive items are gone forever. The only exclusive item I really wanted was the Day of the Dead applier for the Catwa mesh heads by Glam Affair. And Tea Readers, you know I love Day of the Dead!!! I have my applier paired with the Blueberry gacha items, which is a sexy witch outfit (also available at Epiphany). 

Full Outfit: Blueberry Secret (includes armlets, boots, dress, and broom) @Epiphany, Head: Catwa Nicki Static including eyes, Applier for head: Glam Affair Day of the Dead @Epiphany Exclusive, Hair: Tableau Vivant Longfall, Maitreya Lara Mesh Body

When Epiphany opened last week, it was really crowded, and I do know they were having some issues with lag. It should be better now, but below I am including the off-sim shopping landmark in case the main sim is full. I hope everyone has fun shopping, and remember to plan ahead. Check out the Epiphany Guide on their website, and look at Seraphim. Happy Shopping! Hugs and Smooches~

Let's Drink Cider by the Fire~

Happy Sunday Tea Readers!! Back again for a new post. I hope everyone has enjoyed the start of autumn! Lots of fun outdoor activities going on where I live.. I am going to share my favorite buy from Collabor88 this month!


This month's round for Collabor88 is "Echoes of Autumn". Now, some of the items really fit the theme, and some items don't really fit, in my opinion. But I want to share my Favorite buy from this month's round. It is by Zaara, of course, and it is blouse and skirt set which seems very gypsy to me. Very flowing. I bought the fatpacks, because that is how I roll with most of Zaara's items. And the skirts come 2 different options-a solid option and a patterned/patched option. I like the pattern option because it seems more organic and more personalized. There is a belt you can buy to go with your skirt, and it comes in many color options. The items are fit for the Maitreya Mesh Body, so demo if you want to see if it will fit your body, it isn't Maitreya...or even if you have Maitreya, I always say Demo Demo Demo.

Outfit: Zaara Anisha Ruffle Blouse and Ziya Tiered Skirt with Boho wrap belt @Collabor88, Bangles: Izzie's Nidhi Bangles, Earrings: Zaara Sarika Feather Earrings, Arm Chains: Zaara Raksha, Nosering: Zaara Ayanna, Hair: Exile Flickering Light @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm eyes and FATElashes, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

The event has other cute items, but the Zaara outfit is my favorite by far. ISON has a cute dress with a sheer cape, which comes with a static and animated option. Pixicat has these really awesome leggings that have a cosmic star animation (You know I had to buy those). And Erratic has a cute boyfriend's shirt for the ladies (Maitreya fit only). Feel free to check out the catalog on Collabor88's site, or you can check out Seraphim's gallery (which also includes price).

Collabor88 opened last Saturday, so it should be way easier to get into now. Check the catalog, make a list, check over the list, teleport over and buy all the pretties! I hope you have a great Sunday Tea Readers! Hugs and Smooches~

Mimosas for Summer Vacay!

Happy Summer my lovely Tea Readers! I know I haven't posted in over a month, and I appologize for no warning or updates. Everything is fine with me; I have been enjoying the summer sun. Also, I have been trying to spend most of my free time with friends and loved ones. I will not be posting frequently this summer. But I do plan to blog regularly towards the end of the summer. Right now I just want to enjoy lots of Sunshine.

Cover-up: Zaara Reva Cover-up @Collabor88, Bikini: Zaara Noorie Bikini @Summerfest, Hair: Wasabi Pills Belle @Summerfest, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Lashes: FateLashes, Eyes: IKON Charm, Maitreya Mesh Body

I will briefly mention Zaara is at Summerfest and at Collabor88. At Collabor88 she has a wonderful cover-up and cute sandals. At Summerfest she has a fun Bohemian bikini. Lots of cute things at both events. You should definitely check it out!

This is where I leave you, Tea Readers. Please take some time and enjoy the sunshine! Hugs and Smooches!

Don't Over Steep the Leaves

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope this week has been wonderful for all. I want to keep this week's post kinda short and sweet, so I am only going to discuss briefly two events.

Outfit: COCO Cardigan Over Shoulder and Gifted V-Neck Dress @FaMESHed, Hair: Wasabi Pills Marissa @FaMESHed, Rings: Izzie's Spring Midi Rings Gold @Uber, Shoes: Fri.day Cora Heels in Sailor, Earrings: Zoom Marine Earrings @FaMESHed as gift, Clutch: Zaara Patchwork Clutch in indigo, Skin: Glam Affair December II, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

FaMESHed opened at the very beginning of the month, and this is the birthday round. LOTS of free gifts to group members, so be sure to wear your group tag and click on the little present bags. My two favorite buys for this round are COCO's over the shoulder sweater and Wasabi Pills' fun braided hair. The sweater I had to buy has these fun navy stripes. This sweater just reminds me of country clubs, and sailing tourneys. The dress I am wearing in the picture is the FREE gift for the event by COCO. You can buy separate colors, or get the white one free! Be sure to JOIN the group.

Outfit: Moon Amore Wild&Free Top and Skirt @Collabor88, Hair: Besom Sable @Hairology, Rings: Izzie's Spring Midi Rings Gold @Uber and Schadenfreude Waits Set I'll Shoot the Moon @Collabor88, Necklace: Pekka Third Eye Necklace, Nose Ring: Yummy Diamond Flower Nose Ring, Bracelet: Zaara Goa Party Friendship Bracelets, Earrings: Zaara Sarika Feathers, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Collabor88 opened last Sunday with the theme Americana. I am not very familiar with Americana, but to me it seems very bohemian and very relaxed. I ADORE this outfit by Moon Amore. The pieces come with a color changer hud, and I really like this printed skirt. There are these cute elephants on it, and to me it just adds so much. I decided while putting this outfit together I needed to go brunette because blonde just was too preppy looking. It didn't look natural enough. There are a lot of other fun items, and I would highly recommend going to the Seraphim shopping guide to help you plan and budget.

Last but not least, the winner for the Give-Away from my Anniversary Post is KhateraSara! Congratulations KhateraSara!!!! I will be messaging you inworld and sending you your cards ASAP. Thanks for commenting everyone. I appreciate all of you. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Much love! XOXO

Let's Brew a Floral Blend

Happy Sunday everyone. This past week has been very emotionally rough for me, and I kept debating whether or not to do a post. But working on my blog posts have always been therapeutic for me, as well as putting outfits together. So let's get this week's post started.

Jacket: Foxes Free Love Leather Jacket in white @Uber, Shirt: Azuchi+Vinyl Fleetwood Top @Uber, Skirt: Tres Blah Revival Denim Skirt @Uber, Hair: NEW TRUTH Sorrel with Flower @Uber, Shoes: Pure Poison Dixie Pumps @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Ellie, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

Uber opened last week and the theme this month is Country Spring. Let me just say....it isn't very country at all. Lots of leather jackets, bikinis, and cute shorts, yet not much "country". I absolutely adore the new hair by Truth, it reminds me of Maui for some reason. I think it is due to the flower add-on...even though the flower is a daisy and not a plumeria.  Moon Hair also has a really cute fat braid with daisy add-ons as well. Adds a bit of youthfulness and innocence to an otherwise simple hairstyle.

Jacket and Shirt: Azuchi+Vinyl Stevie Leather Jacket and Fleetwood Top @Uber, Skirt: Blueberry Denim Skirt, Boots: Reign Rhone Boots @Uber, Hair: NEW Truth Sorrel, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

Vinyl and Azuchi has collaborated to create this really cool leather jacket and shirt combo. You buy the pieces separately, and you can then mix and match. I bought the brown leather jacket along with the Off Duty Mermaid tank--kinda badass, yet fun...a fun badass? If it wasn't a thing before, it is now. Foxes also has these AMAZING leather jackets with fun designs on the back and some of them have the designs on the sleeves. I bought two of the jackets, one with an elephant, and then the simple white leather jacket with just the bronze detailing. Very fun, and adds a bit of a bohemian edge to something normally rebellious.

Outfit: Tres Blah Mia Cami Blue and Revival Denim Skirt @Uber, Shoes: Pure Poison Dixie Flats @Uber, Hair: NEW Truth Sorrel @Uber, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

Tres Blah has a cute tank and skirt combo out. Again you buy your pieces separately so you can mix and match as you would like. I think this outfit was perfect, and it actually follows the theme for this month. Very fun, very freeing, and very simple.

A few people have released bikinis and lingerie for this event. I liked the Blueberry's best. I bought two pairs, the red and then the pink floral. Each bikini comes with a cute little floatie you can wear and just chill on or you can use the hud provided with it to bump and follow your friends (your friends would have to be wearing a floatie as well). Reign and Just Because helped take part in the floatie fun and both of their floaties you can purchase separately at the Blueberry booth. I bought the Just Because black cat, because secretly I am a crazy cat lady.

Bikini: Blueberry Peach Bikini Pink Flower @Uber, Hair: NEW Truth Sorrel @Uber, Floatie: Just Because Black Kitty Floatie @Uber, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara


Not much else to report. Pure Poison has two cute shoes out which are completely customizable via the texture hud. Reign also has come cool boots, I could never call them country because the metal boot jewelry attached makes it look way more biker-chick than anything. Still lots of awesome stuff from the grids creators this month. Check it out whenever you get the chance. Hugs and Smooches Tea Readers~

Sunshine and Good Times

Happy Sunday everyone! What a beautiful week and weekend. The sun has been shining, the temperature is finally warm, and my windows are open! Let's have some tea and talk a little about the Epiphany Gacha before I leave to spend another day outside.

Corset Outfit: Yasum Burlesque Complete Maitreya EXCLUSIVE @EpiphanyGacha, Hair: Spellbound Interlude, Shoes: The Secret Store Boudoir Slippers, Puppy: Jian Silly Shibes Companion Pup @EpiphanyGacha, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natrual6 Lashes, Teeth: Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Earrings: Yummy Pearl Studs, Lipstick: Glam Affair Romy Lipstick, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

The Epiphany Gacha is a quarterly event, and is a gacha lover's dream. I have written about it before in an earlier post, but for a refresher course on how the event works:  you play the gachas you want, and you can redeem your extras and any unwanted items in for points. When you get 25 points you can get an exclusive item from one of the creators. The awesome thing is up to 100 points each round carries over to the next. So if you don't use them all one round you can use them next without having to play more gachas. This round was fun because there were only a few items, gachas and exclusives, I was interested in getting. Luckily I got them all, and I ended up having way more points than normal. So I got a few more exclusives than I was planning, all good things, all good things...

The big items I was playing for were by Truth and Jian. I really wanted all three hairstyles Truth Hawks released for the event. They are braided hair styles and I think they look pretty Badass. Jian also has these really cute shiba puppy companions. You can play for a hold-able pet, a roaming pet, and a following pet. I think there are a few decor ones as well. I was lucky and got the hold-able, roaming, and follower in my first, and only, three plays. Foxes has an exclusive item which is a pitbull companion. I love my little buddy. I think he is just adorable.

Sports Bra: Moon Elixir Chakra Sports Bra EXCLUSIVE @EpiphanyGacha, Pants: Erratic Daria Pants, Pitbull: Foxes Urban Fallout Hound Brown EXCLUSIVE @EpihanyGacha, Shoes: The Forge Strider Plus, Hair: NEW Truth Kora @Epiphany Gacha, Watch: Le Primitif Node Gear Watch, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Tattoo: The White Crow Inner Universe @KawaiiProject, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

The one exclusive I really wanted was by Moon Elixir. Moon Elixir has some cool athletic pieces. I wasn't a fan of the underwear like bottoms or the robe-dress thing. I was really interested in the Chakra Sports-Bra. the textures are wonderful and the Om clasp in the back is so cool! I really like it. I have the outfit paired with a cosmic tattoo and some sporty leggings by Erratic. I think it gives me a boxer/fighter look. Again...Bad Ass.

That's it for this week. Please take some time to check out Epiphany Gacha. The event ends on May 5th, so there is still plenty of time to drop some Linden and win some prizes! Enjoy your day out in the Sun my Tea Readers! Hugs and Smooches~

Green Tea with Mint for a Refreshing Spring Day

Happy Sunday Tea Readers! I know, long time no post. Lots have been going on with my life and some changes in Second Life. Not too much has been missed, Collabor88 opened on March 8th, and the theme is "A Touch of Green". It is a very lovely round.

Outfit: Zaara Ruhi Layered Blouse and Mahi Patchwork Shorts @Collabor88, Hair: Tableau Vivant Ivy @Collabor88, Nosering: Zaara Ayanna, Bangles: Zaara Goa Party Friendship Bracelets, Rings: Yummy Flower Ring set (last month's Collabor88),Eyes; IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Freckles: [Stellar] Rainbow Freckles, Shoes: Candydoll Diamond Flats Mint (not shown), Tattoo: Letis Color Arama @BodyFy!, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara

My favorite release at the event is of course by Zaara Kohime. She has released these really cute layered blouses, Ruhi, and patchwork shorts, Mahi. Each piece is 188L, or you can buy the fatpack for 888L (888L for the blouse fatpack and 888L for the shorts fatpack). I bought the fatpacks, because I love the hand-drawn designs and patterns--it is so easy to mix and match. Ruhi and Mahi are both exclusively made to fit the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body--so demo before you buy.

Outfit: The Secret Store Eva Lacey Tank and Paula Denim Shorts @Collabor88, Jewelry Set: Yummy Spring Bud in Gold  (included Pearl Berry earrings) @Collabor88, Hair: Truth Bernadette, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Freckles: [Stellar] Rainbow Freckles, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

The Secret Store also has a really pretty lacy tank top and lacy shorts for this round. I know the color for the round is "green", but I went for white and red. The shorts come with a hud you can use to turn on and off the lace. I bought the white shorts, and while the white lace is is there you have to look hard to see it. It's okay for me, it just adds a bit if detail. Yummy has a cute bloom jewelry set available which I thought paired well with The Secret Store's set.

Outfit: ISON Long Sleeve Romper @Collabor88, Jewelry Set: Maxi Gossamer Karina Karina Daydreamer @Collabor88, Hair: Moon Mysterons @Collabor88, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Shoes: Enfant Terrible Rose (not shown), Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Freckles: [Stellar] Rainbow Freckles, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Maxi Gossamer has released a really cute set called Karina Karina Daydreamer. The "stones" on the necklace and earrings are more shell-like, and there is an option to change the texture colors. I like the blue option, because it reminds me most of mother-of-pearl.  For the blog I am wearing the ISON long sleeved romper, which is another Collabor88 release. I really like this mint color for the romper. It adds some green, but nothing too strong, and perfect for the freshness of spring--PLUS the Maxi Gossamer set pairs really well.

Not much to add for now, I hope to bring you more next week. Just some FYIs: Uber has another freestyle round, some nice items if you want to check it out; FaMESHed has been open since the start of the month, and there are a few cute accessories and single pieces, you should check it out as well. Again, sorry for such a long wait on a new post. I hope everyone has a happy Sunday. Hugs and Smooches Tea Readers.

Let's Drink Tea in the Secret Garden

Hey everyone! I am back from my vacation, and let's just say I am already planning another. Who doesn't like spending time on white sandy beaches and watching dolphins play all day long? Or fishing! UGH, I didn't have enough time to actually fish this vacation, so the next one I am going to have to just spend the whole time fishing. Get my quota in. I know this post is way overdue, but you still have some time to visit Collabor88 before April 7th. March's theme is Secret Garden.

Outfit: Zaara Ekanta Jumpsuit @Collabor88, Hedgehog: Birdy Hoggy Ginge @Collabor88, Rings: Yummy Flower Rings @Collabor88, Hair: Doe Byrdie Roses @Collabor88, Body: Maitreya Lara Mesh Body, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes

I loved watching the movie The Secret Garden when I was little, and I loved it so much I read the book. Beautiful. It is what got me into working outside and gardening. I didn't know what the theme was going to be this round until right when it opened. I was shocked and awed for sure. I did get a little Linden$ crazy, but I stayed within my budget! Most important.

My favorite and cutest purchase is by Birdy, and it's a cute holdable hedgehog named Hoggy. I have named mine Hans. The hedgehog is cute and cuddley and I love him. When I saw him I thought of the old story about Hans the Hedgehog. I remember watching the old Jim Henson show The Storyteller and this was one of the episodes. It was a bout a boy who was born and looked like a hedgehog, and ran off and, long story short, ended up marrying a princess and turning into a handsome man. While this hedgehog doesn't turn into a prince or into anything, he is super adorable.

Zaara has a cute jumpsuit out called Ekanta, and I had to buy the fatpack. At only 888L$ for 8 different colors, that is a steal! If you don't want the fatpack, it is 288L per jumpsuit. It fits Maitreya Lara Mesh Body only, so beware of that. The jumpsuits are simple and cute, and can be worn with practically anything in my opinion. Love them.

Dress: The Secret Store Maggie Silky Dress @Collabor88, Shoes: The Secret Store Boudoir Slippers [not shown] @Collabor88, Hair: NEW TRUTH Arabella, Necklace: Yummy Victorian Garden Key Silver @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Marta Jamaica, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

The Secret Store has a cute dress/teddy with cute slippers with pom-poms on the toes. I really liked the shoes, but I just felt the little silk dress was a must. I think it would look a bit edgy with a cropped leather jacket. I have the dress right now with no accessories because I want to find the perfect jacket for it, or a nice knit sweater. So this dress right now is "to be continued" in my inventory.

Dress: Pixicat Delicate Dress @Collabor88, Hair: Little Bones Centerfold @Collabor88, Necklace: Yummy Victorian Garden Key Silver @Collabor88, Shoes: The Secret Store Boudoir Slippers @Collabor88, Skin: Glam affair Marta Jamaica, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink hands and feet

Pixicat also has a cute delicate looking dress, and the name for it really fits it, Delicate. It is little, it is lacey, and it just is precious. I also LOVE this dress by Nylon Outfitters called "Secret Garden Dress". The dress is a light, it looks classy, and it has Maitreya appliers for it as well as layers for the classic avatar. I find myself going between my Maitreya body and my classic body a lot.

There are also a lot of really cute hair styles for the ladies to try out. Doe has a really cute simple do, and so does Little Bones and Exile. Doe and Exile have floral options. While Doe you can color change the roses, with Exile the daisies stay the same color, white. Not a bad thing, just it would be nice to color change them.

Dress: Nylon Outfitters Secret Garden Dress @Collabor88, Necklace: Yummy Victorian Garden Key Silver @Collabor88, Hair: Exile Coming up Daisies @Collabor88, Shoes: The Secret Store Boudoir Slippers @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Marta Jamaica, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

I hope everyone has a great week! And I hope you all get to check out Collabor88's Secret Garden before April 6th. April 6th is the last day this round will be open, and Collabor88 will be setting up for their new round on April 7th. Stay awesome Tea Readers! Hugs and Smooches!

Pick Your Leaves for a Perfect Blend

Hello my wonderful Tea Readers! I have made it safely to my vacation destination, and have promptly been soaking up as much sunshine as I possibly can. It was a LONG drive, but I made it! Yay! Enough about me, I know you want to know about the Arcade.

Dress: Pixicat Karma nr1 @TheArcade, Hair: Oleander Chanmi @TheArcade, Familiar: Birdy Magical Menagerie Griffon, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow freckles, Eyebrows: Oleander Jelly Baby Eyebrows with  Eyebrow Glitter @TheArcade, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Lara Mesh Body

The Arcade opened on March 1st with what seems like a million creators. I don't know how many creators usually participate, but this round has 99 vendors and it seems massive. My list had a lot more items than normal. I did things a little different this time....and by little I mean A LOT. I actually bought all my items from yardsales. I didn't even go into the event itself. I had liked a link on plurk for places doing yardsales (yardsales are places people sell their extra gacha items) for this round of The Arcade, and I just teleported and "Area Searched". It took me a while, but I found everything I wanted. And I know I saved more Linden shopping this way. I even bought a few Rares for a decent amount! I was ecstatic.

Birdy was the first on my list with the cute menagerie animals. I really wanted the gryphon, and it took me a while to find one at the yardsales, but I found one. And I love him. And I have named him Phillip. He is mine. It comes with a familiar to hold, a collectors card for the free book you can get at the actual Arcade, and a decorative figurine to put in a cabinet or to set out as, you guessed it, decor. There are owls, sheep, dragons, the gryphons, and a phoenix. I really did like the gryphon, but all the animals are adorable. And everyone knows I am a sucker for cute companions/familiars. Which brings me to Pixicat.

Dress: Pixicat Karma nr2 @TheArcade, Hair: Exile Wink @TheArcade, Familiar: Pixicat Karma Elephant Companion Rare @TheArcade, Necklace: Reverie Box of Charms Victorian Heiress Rare @TheArcade, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow freckles, Eyebrows: Oleander Jelly Baby Eyebrows with  Eyebrow Glitter @TheArcade, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

Pixicat had a fun gacha out this round. The gacha is called Karma, and there are short and long dresses which have a Moroccan pattern. There are some cute elephant figures, and a Rare companion. The elephants come in black and colored. The colored elephants remind me of the painted elephants in India. Super cute, and super little. I bought the Rare elephant companion, and it is just too cute having a painted elephant follow you around everywhere.

Jian has a fun release which brought me back to my nerdy childhood. DINOSAURS. I remember watching dinosaur documentaries and shows when I was little. And my twin sister and I would just be engrossed with the tv. It was an easy way for our parents to get us to calm down and sit still for a while. Anyway, when I saw the previews for Jian's dinosaurs I knew I had to get a few. She even named them after The Land Before Time! Adorable!! These dinos are not your normal familiars or companions-you actually ride them...so they are mounts. Even the pterodactyl flies! Like REALLY flies. I don't think it would matter which one you win/buy, I am sure you will like it!

Look at those Glittery Eyebrows! Gorgeous~

Oleander is out for the Arcade with a simple hairstyle. The hair is down, long, and has two small braids going partially down the sides. What is really cute about Oleander's gacha is the glitter eyebrows. I LOVE THEM! The eyebrows come in basic colors (black, brown, blonde, red, and a tintable), but the glitter add-ons. UGH! SO AWESOME. I love anything with glitter so these are just wonderful. I have tried the glitter add-on with my normal brows and they work just fine, be sure to try them out. Super cute.


So hopefully you will be able to get into the Arcade pretty easily since it has been open for a bit. If you don't want to risk spending a lot and are willing to "hunt" for the item you want, I recommend going to yardsales. I will post some links down below. Good Luck Tea Readers. May the Gacha Odds be forever in your favor~

Add Milk for a More Ethereal Taste

Happy Sunday everyone! This past week, again, has been super busy for me. Luckily my vacation starts in a few days. I will finally be able to get a lot of rest and relaxation done! HURRAY! On with this week's post.

Uber opened the end of February with the theme of Ethereal, and let's just say I went crazy. So many gorgeous things. I really did like quite a few outfits and pieces. I am so happy with this round, especially since the last few events haven't really inspired my muse. The creators have ignited my inspiration with their items this time. Let's start with my favorites...

Dress: Just Because Kimbra Gown @Uber, Hair: NEW TRUTH Polilla @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Body: Maitreya Lara Mesh Body, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Just Because has a GORGEOUS gown out for the event. The gown is called Kimbra, and it reminds me of a gown an angel would wear--not quite a dress, not quite a toga. There are two parts to the gown, the gown itself and then the optional train. Trust me...you are going to want to wear the train. The dress has some sequins beading in the bust traveling down the gown, to give it a bit more dimension. It is very important to note this dress is for MESH BODIES ONLY. There are no standard sizes for the classic avatar. So make sure you have a body, AND YOU DEMO BEFORE YOU BUY!

Dress: ISON Ethereal Gown @Uber, Hair: NEW TRUTH Polilla @Uber, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Wings: Evermore Tenshi no Tsubasa Shiro @SaNaRae, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

ISON also has a gown out with reminded me briefly of the gown released for Collabor88 back in August. This gown has a lacy bodice which then gives way to a sheer bottom overlay. Simple, pretty, and adds a bit of classic look to your evening wear. I thought the gown looks great paired with Truth's new hair called Polilla (which can also be found at the event). The hair does come with optional moth and headband add-ons. I prefer the hair without the add-ons for this outfit, but I do like the moth concept itself. Adds a bit of mystic I think to the hairstyle.

Outfit: Kitja Ethe @Uber, Hair: NEW TRUTH Polilla @Uber, Earrings: Maxi Gossamer SOlaris Pearls, Nosering: Maxi Gossamer Maharani, Tikka: Maxi Gossamer Maharani, Necklace: Zaara Atiriya Stone Necklace, Shoes: Pure Poison WIngs Pump @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Body: Maitreya Lara Mesh Body, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Kitja has a cute and more modern outfit. A lace skirt and a loose blouse combo which to me looks very chic and simple. I like this outfit a lot, and I think it is probably my favorite purchase from Uber. You can pick your own color combination, and again like with the Just Because gown, this outfit is for MESH BODY wearers. No standard sizes are included. Please Demo before you buy.

That's it for this week. Hopefully I get to where I am going on vacation and will be able to post something for the Arcade next Sunday. Hey, who knows...I might even post right before I leave. Lots of love to you all! Hugs and Smooches Tea Readers! XOXO

Fashion Flashback- Tres Blah

Hey everyone! I haven't done a Fashion Flashback post in a while so I thought this week would be a good time! The store I want to talk about isn't from the beginning of my SecondLife, but I did discover the creator when I first found out about fashion events. Tres Blah... Simple and Classy.

Outfit: Tres Blah Khaki Blouse Shorts and Boots, Rings: EarthStones Splendid Love Bridal Set and Schadenfreude Fox Wee Beastie, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Love Surrender, Earrings: EarthStones Thank you! Tahiti Black Pearls, Hair: Truth Oceana, Lipstick: Glam Affair December Extra Lips, Tattoo: Letis Bohemian, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Elemental16, Slink Hands

I first found Tres Blah at Collabor88--if my memory is correct--Juliette Westerburg released a safari outfit which I thought was precious. The stall had the whole ensemble, boots and all. I loved it, and decided to explore Second Life in my safari gear.

After buying her outfits from Collabor88, I decided to go check out the mainstore and I fell in love with a watercolor dress. I love watercolors and paint splashes on clothes; to me it makes the clothes look more real. I bought the dress, and when my avatar was walking in it, the bottom of the skirt moved with a little bit of a swish. It is hard to explain, and if I knew how to make a gif I would post it, but I don't know how. All I can tell you is this dress is so cute and fun and awesome!

Dress: Tres Blah Fluffy Dress Watercolors, Shoes: Livalle Marissa, Hair: Truth Dasha, Rings: CAE Phases Crescent and Star Rings and Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Earrings: EarthStones Thank You! Tahiti Black Pearl, Necklace: ERSCH Stellation 13 Ursa Secret Gacha @Whimiscal Event, NEW Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Skin: Glam Affair Sasha, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Tres Blah's style is very simple and classy. Nothing too revealing, and it does show some skin it is done with good taste. Tres Blah was one of the first mesh creators I found who had outfits and items which fit my style. Since I have been shopping events and getting my SL shopping addiction Tres Blah has been a regular name on my shopping list. I highly recommend people to check out Tres Blah's mainstore at Collabor88!

Take a moment and check out these new freckles by Stellar! The freckles are subtle and just lovely!

~On a Whim~

Happy Sunday everyone! Really REALLY short post this week, but I wanted to give a bit of information on a new event called Whimsical. It opened on the 18th, and it is very...whimsical.

The Whimsical event was created by people from The Fantasy Collective and The Epiphany Gacha. The whole sim itself is very relaxing and landscaped so well--almost like you can take a nice spring summer stroll around a fresh garden. The vendor stalls fit in so well with the landscape; the whole event looks well put together! Kudos to everyone who had a hand in the landscaping and decorating! Well done! I love when you go to an event and everything looks nice and is easy to navigate. (There are also maps placed around the landing point so you can easily find where all the designers/creators have set up.

Hair: NEW Truth Henya @Whimsical, Necklace: ERSCH Stellation 9 Pisces @Whimsical, Crown/Starband: ERSCH: Stellation 16 RARE @Whimsical, Body: Maitreya Lara, Skin: Glam Affair December, Eyes: IKON Charm Emerald and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Teeth: Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

I didn't buy any clothing items for my avatar at the event, however I did like some accessories, especially these constellation necklaces by ERSCH. I am a huge lover of the stars. I remember when I was younger going outside late at night with my father and finding all the constellations and looking for shooting stars. And even now, being a real and hard working adult I am, I still find myself looking at the same constellations and STILL I am in awe. The necklaces come in a gacha, so you can not buy the specific constellation you want, but you could get these really cool tiaras (they are the rares). Just an FYI:  there is one box in the gacha which is mislabeled. If you are a gemini, your item is #4, and when you open the box for #4 it will say Virgo. IT IS NOT VIRGO; I think the creator got the item names mixed up. #2 is Virgo and #4 is Gemini.

Truth is also at the event with a fun new hair called Henya. There is an optional  headband and feather add on which is really cool. I would of loved if there was a peacock feather option, but there are some nice color choices. Also you can add on a whisp of hair at your bangs, and also hair covering your front. In the picture above I have on only the whisp and the front hair attachment.

There are of course lots, and I do mean LOTS, of other really cool items and creations--I was just interested in the constellation necklaces and the hair by Truth. The event will be open till March 3rd, so go on over to Whimsical and take a look around. Even if you don't buy anything, it is still a lovely walk.

Let's be whimsical together!!!!! xoxo

Rose Tea for a Romantic Valentine's Day

HAPPY Valentine's Day! I am sorry I haven't posted the past two weeks. Life has been super hectic.. I haven't had much to post on anyway, due to the new events for the month being so-so in my opinion. FaMESHed didn't have much I was liking, nor Uber. But Collabor88 opened last Monday-and I went a bit crazy.

Dress: Zaara Thalia Draped Gown @Collabor88, Hair: Truth Kasimire Blondes with hairpiece [former Epiphany Gacha], Maitreya Lara Mesh Body, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whatever Mesh Teeth, Skin: Glam Affair Sasha @Collabor88, Lipgloss: Glam Affair Romy Goddess

Collabor88's theme is Espionage, so lots of spy items and sexy Bond Girl/Secret Agent attire. It is also Collabor88's prom (the designers/creators have asked other creators to be their dates)So there is almost twice as many items! Let me just gush about some of my favorites...

Zaara of course is my favorite. She has a new gown released for the event. It is more expensive..ish... 588L for the event. And it is so worth every penny. The gown is made specifically for the Maitreya Lara mesh body, and it comes in fun colors. I like the cut in the bust. The cleavage goes down to the naval, and the cut gives it a bit of a more modern edge, but not too drastic. It really is a classy gown.

Outfit: The Secret Store Honey Cotton Shirt and Peggy Pleated Skirt @Collabor88, Hair: Truth Sicily, Shoes: Poute Victoria High Heels, Necklace: CAE Belle's Rose, Ring: CAE Belle Ring, Earrings: Aisling Roz, Familiar/Pet: Alchemy Hell Pupper Held @The Fantasy Gacha, Skin: Glam Affair Sasha @Collabor88, Lipgloss: Glam Affair Romy Goddess, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

The Secret Store has a fun shirt/skirt combo out for the event. And it reminds me of Miss Moneypenny from the Bond movies. Not really a sexy outfit, but very sophisticated and simple. Still attractive. I bought the kiss patterned blouse and the red skirt, because Valentine's Day is.....right now. When I was putting the outfit together, I wanted to keep it simple, so I have it paired with a simple rose necklace by CAE in gold with some rose earrings. As I was putting the outfit together I wanted to add one small "flair" piece to it...so I added a familiar/pet by Alchemy which is out right now at The Fantasy Gacha. The Hell Pupper is so cute and even though Cerberus is supposed to be vicious, this little puppy is too cute--it will just melt your heart.

Outfit: Foxes Bound Dress, Harness, and Jacket @Collabor88, Hair: Oleander! Taffy @Collabor88, Headset: Amala Spy Headset @Collabor88, Maitreya Mesh Body, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Skin: Glam Affair Sasha @Collabor88, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Foxes has a fun dress out with a sort of binding at the neck and bust. There is a leather jacket as well at the event which pairs well with the dress. The outfit reminds me of a spy doing a sort of wardrobe change/strip while in the middle of a mission. Amala even has a cool spy headset which helps bring the look together. This whole outfit (minus the Amala headset) is made exclusively for mesh bodies. Make sure you try the demo before you buy.

Erratic has a very sexy bikini out this round which just looks like it came straight from a beach scene in a James Bond movie. It is just perfect! I had such a hard time picking out a color, because I wanted all of them. The detail is perfect. AND it comes with these cool cuffs so the bikini looks more....Badass. There is also a medal change hud for the belt buckle and the cuffs on the bikini. The bikini is made exclusively for Maitreya Lara mesh body.

Bikini: Erratic Eunice with Cuffs @Collabor88, Hair: Oleander! Taffy @Collabor88, Maitreya Lara Mesh Body, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Skin: Glam Affair Sasha @Collabor88, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

There are other really cool items at the event, Oleander has a hair out which is very neat. I am a sucker for curly hair and braids. While the hairstyle isn't curly, it does have a braid in the ponytail. There are also cute headbands and some lace masks. Olive hair was invited, and the hairstyles (both for men and women) have fedoras. I did not demo the hair to see if the hair comes with a fedoraless option...I am not a big fedora person. There are some sexy short dresses and lots of heels and boots. There are even a few items for men (few, not a lot). I think you should go check it out and see what the creators and their dates have done for the world of Espionage~

I hope all my Tea Readers have a wonderful Valentine's Day! I hope you enjoy the day with your loved ones, and if you don't have a significant other I hope you spoil yourself to something wonderful! You deserve it! Hugs and Smooches~~

Paint, Prisms, and a Good Pu'erh

Hello Tea Readers! This past week seems to have mimicked last week in regards to hectic schedules and crazy times. I was able to relax a bit more (but I think that was with help from some wonderful bourbon chocolates and some fun company). The events I want to tackle this week is Kustom9 and The Epiphany Gacha.

Boots: Reign Bow Saddle @FaMESHed

Kustom9 opened last Friday, and the is only ONE thing I bought... It is a comfy looking sweater with a belt by Zenith. And the BIG reason why I bought this sweater wasn't really for the comfinese-look factor--it was for the one color option....of all the colors. I adore the rainbow color of the sweater I bought. It is fun, it goes with pretty much everything, and I just adore it. The belt comes with a color change Hud, and the sweater pairs well with some jeans I bought by Blueberry (I am really growing this brand). I have paired the sweater and jeans with some Converse Tennis shoes by FateWear, and I have also paired it with boots by Reign. I just love the color in this sweater. There are other colors, and while they do look nice....I think the rainbow colors are the BEST!

Dress: Pixicat Siren Dress Short RARE @EpihanyGacha, Boots: Reign Mishi Thigh High Boots, Hair: NEW TRUTH Kasimire @EpiphanyGacha, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Tie Mask Handcuffs Small, Familiar: Jian Avigon RARE Arm-Perch @EpiphanyGacha, Lipgloss: Glam Affair Romy Goddess, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands

The Epiphany Gacha opened sometime last week, and I didn't even bother trying to teleport in because I knew it would be full, laggy, and kinda crazy for a while (Plus there were only a few things I was even interested in to begin with). I was really wanting some of these Avigon Familiars by Jian and a hair by Truth. While I was trying to teleport in, I was looking on the guide on Seraphim and I decided if I had the linden, I would go ahead and try a few other gachas. And I could not believe what happened when I got in. I got there right after a region restart. And the first 3 or 4 gachas I played, I got the rare first try.... WHEN AND HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! I don't know if it was because of the region restart or what, but I was so excited. I ended up playing every gachaon my list, and again, I won the rares. Not first go for for the last few, but within a few "pulls". I was so excited. I would highly recommend for these gacha events, and any event for that matter to try to look at the Seraphim guide, and plan out how much you are willing to spend.

Sweater: Zenith Waist Long Sweater with Shirt @Kustom9, Jeans: Blueberry Tink, Shoes: FateStep Nylon Chucks, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Pearl Necklaces in Pink (Gossamer Group Gift exclusive), Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Hair: !Oleander Stefanie in Siren @TheEpiphanyGacha, Familiar: Jian Painted Prism Arm Perched Avigon @TheEpiphanyGacha, Skin: Glam Affair Amberly Lovely Day, Lipstick: Glam Affair Romy Goddess, Eyes: Ikon Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes

The amazing thing about Epiphany is you can trade you extras for points, and when you have enough points you can get an exclusive item. The exclusive item I really wanted was the Rainbow Prism Avigon by Jian. There is a perched one and a arm one. and I wanted the arm one. And what was really PERFECT about the Rainbow Prism Avigon is he matches my rainbow sweater by Zenith!!! Those items were made for each other! So adorable...I could die.

Again, I would highly recommend looking at Seraphim's shopping guide for the Epiphany, and for any event really. Plan ahead before you go!!! Let's make this week amazing!!! Hugs and Smooches!!!!!!

Let's have a Rainbow Tea Party on the Holodeck~

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope this week has been relaxing for everyone--for me it has been filled with work and crazy weather and lots of stress. I think it is time to start planning a vacation! Despite it being a hectic work week, I was able to log on and chat with friends for a bit and managed to get this week's post done. Let's talk about Collabor88...

Outfit:  Blueberry Lola Bustier Top and Denim Shorts @Collabor88, Hair: Wasabi Pills Ocean @Hairology, Tattoo: Reckless HazeIII, Earrings: Zaara Sarika Feather Earrings @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Party, Slink Hands and Feet, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

This month's theme is Holographic, and the color palette is very lovely. Lots of pale soft colors, which I LOVE, and some of the items have a sort of rainbow effect. Me being the lovely eloquent lady with words I refer to it as an oil slick effect. Lots of colors blended together. I didn't buy a lot at the event, but I did flip out when I saw Zaara was back again with some GORGEOUS earrings. They are feather earrings, and there are two types, one with long feathers and one with short feathers as an earcuff. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I bought the Azure earrings and the Peacock earcuffs because I like peacocks. I know I am going to get more of the feather earrings, they are just so pretty. The earrings come in rigged versions for a few mesh heads and the Lelutka mesh head version also fits the default body okay. There is also an unrigged version, but I like the rigged one since the earrings are so long. They really are a focal piece for any outfit. I only have one issue with the earcuffs--it is hard to pair with hair. I have a few short styles and a few updos... all the them are too "big" on the sides. I will admit I need to resize and move them around a bit to try to get them to work. But with my crazy schedule, I haven't really had the time to do that with them.

Outfit: Pixicat Flirty Skirt and Top @Collabor88, Hair: NEW Magika Love Song, Headband: LaGyo Pastel Flowers Headband, Bracelet: Noodles Classic Love Bracelet Rose Gold, Necklace: Tea.S Pixi Dust Necklace in Gold, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Party, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Slink Hands and Feet

Blueberry has a fun tank and short set out with the tank top in that oil slick texture. I know the texture isn't called oil slick, but it looks like it to me, and I personally like it. Also, Pixicat has a fun shirt and skirt combo out which is fun and flirty (it is also named Flirty, so it's really just perfect). I have the the rainbow skirt and the simple white top. It looks really flirty and fun. I really like it.

Sorry for the shortish post this week, but I had to share my Collabor88 spoils. I hope all of you have a wonderful week, and stay safe!!! Hugs and Smooches~

White Tea to Soothe the Soul

Happy Sunday everyone! It has been a long and stressful week for me crazy work issues. I had some crazy hours at work and I hardly logged on during the week. I was able to log on long enough to get some pictures and this post done! I hope you enjoy.



FaMESHed opened New Year's Day, and it took me FOREVER to teleport in! And what drove me crazy was one of my friends and my sister were able to teleport in relatively easy....at least easier than me. There is only one thing I wanted from FaMESHed--a gown by Just Because called Maya. The gown is very elegant, yet provocative at the same time. There is a deep cut in the cleavage (like really deep...like goes down to the belly button), and there is a long slit on the thigh. The broach comes with a color change hud. It took me a while to style the Maya, and the necklace I choose to pair with the dress is by Maxi Gossamer. The necklace has a long gorgeous back, so it doesn't distract in the front of the gown.

Gown: Just Because Maya @FaMESHed, Hair: Elikatira Karee, Earrings: Maxi Gossamer Ananya White Pearls, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Tiffany Back, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Shoe: Poute Victoria High Heels, Skin: Glam Affair Caroline New Day, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whaver Fang Mesh Teeth, Slink Hands and Feet

There are also come cute boots which are compatible with jeans by Reign at this round, and there is also a cute dress by NYU. I like both the boots and the dress paired together. I didn't photograph them for two reasons: (1) my favorite item is Maya, and (2) I did not have enough time to take another picture.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week this week! Stay safe and have fun! Hugs and Smooches Tea Readers~
