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~

The weather is getting cooler and I have been brewing more tea, so I thought it was time to get back into blogging. My next few posts might be really short while I get back into the "swing" of things. I won't blog an event this Sunday, but I want to hear about your summer?! Did you do anything awesome? Did you get some relaxing done? Enjoy time with family and friends? Leave me a comment my lovely Tea Readers! I want to hear from you!!!!! Hugs and Smooches my lovelies!

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!

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~~

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~

Happy New Year 2016!

Just wanted to wish all you Tea Readers a very Happy New Year!!!! Thanks for reading about, following, and helping support my shopaholic tendencies! Without you this blog wouldn't be the same! I hope everyone stays safe and has a wonderful New Year! Hello 2016!!!! Wonderful to meet you~

I am Wearing: Outfit: Pixicat Dreamy Dress in Cosmic, Hair: Truth Sakina, Rings: IeQED Dream Ring Set in Gold and Schadenfreude Fox Wee Beastie, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Dream Orb, Shoes: Pure Poison Artizan Cloud Pumps, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Mesh Fang Teeth
Earth is wearing... Outfit: Valentina Debutante, Shoes: Reign Adele, Necklace: Junbug Pearls of Wisdom, Ring: Anara's Earth and CAE Belle, Earrings: Earthstones Sitara, Bangles: {anc} ThornCombiBandle, Hair: Truth Posy, Skin:  Glam Affair December, Slink Hands and Feet

Earth and I are both wearing our favorite cocktail outfits from 2015 to help say goodbye to such a wonderful year. It was a hard time for me to pick my favorite, and there are so many favorites of mine. But Pixicat's dress is one of the most creative I have seen for the year. Happy New Years Tea Readers from Earth and myself!

After a Workout Have Green or Black Tea

Happy Friday! I am posting this week's post early, because I will be out of town this weekend running in a marathon, and I won't be home until late Sunday evening. Wish me luck everyone!

Outfit: Moon Amore Cureless Charming Xmas @TheArcade, Shoes: Moon Amore Curelesss Charming Xmas Shoes @TheArcade, Hair: Tableau Vivant Starry Night Ponytail @TheArcade, Fox: The Secret Store Winter Foxes Hold Me @TheArcade, Nutcracker: MadPea Nutcracker Follower @TheArcade (gift under the tree, wear your Arcade tag), Skin: Glam Affair Ellie Skin, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

The Arcade opened at the beginning of the month, and I was lucky enough to get to the event in a relatively decent time. And on top of the luck of getting in rather quickly, I was also lucky in all the gachas I played! I was able to get every item I wanted without going broke!!! How often does that happen?! My favorite gacha this round doesn't have anything to do with fashion, but all to do with foxes. The Secret Store has a gacha with all these cute fox friends. They come in two different colors, White, and the rares are holdable pets! I love them! I have both colors of the rares, and I can't pick a favorite. Fawny has a pretty sweater gacha that comes with reindeer decor and attachable pets as well. Moon Amore has a really pretty dress out for the event and the shoes in the gacha are really cool--they have Christmas trees on the back of the heel, very flirty and fun.

Coat: Pixicat Stockholm Coat and Knit top @Collabor88, Jeans: Blueberry Tink, Boots: Reign Mishi Thigh High Boots, Scarf: Zaara Kashmiri Shawl @Collabor88, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Nosering: Kibitz Tulip Nose Chain, Hair: Tableau Vivant Champagne @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Emma @Collabor88 (make-up included), Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands

Collabor88 opened on Tuesday and again, like with a lot of Collabor88 rounds....I almost went broke. All the Linden$ I saved from being lucky at the Arcade went to this round. Nordic Winter is the theme, and there are lots of sweater, fun hairs and scarves and hats. Zaara is at this round!!! And she has an updated mesh version of her pashmina scarves. I bought two so far.... so far.... Don't be surprised if you see me there again buying more... I maybe should of bought the fatpack...but we will wait and see.... The scarves textures have been hand painted by Zaara Kohime and are so gorgeous. They are worth the Linden (288L$), even if you only buy one.

Pixicat has a fun coat available at the event, and it looks to me like a Navy Peacoat. The coat is called Stockholm--it comes with a sweater and an optional dress add on for it. I prefer the sweater so far. I detoured from my normal color choices and chose to purchase the gray coat. I love the coat paired with the scarf from Zaara. The scarf splashes color into the outfit, and to me it brings it to life.

Dress: Foxes Dip Dress @Collabor88, Necklace: Foxes Drip Necklace @Collabor88, Shoes: Fri.day Veronica Platforms, Hair: Tableau Vivant Cristal @Collabor88, Body: Maitreya Mesh Body, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Make-up: Emma Eyes and Lipstick @Collabor88 (included with Emma Skin), Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whatever Mesh Fang Teeth

There are two dresses I bought at the event, one by ISON and the other by Foxes. Both are more cocktail appropriate, but depending on how you pair it, you could make it more casual. The Foxes dress is a sweater dress which has an opened deep cut back. It comes with a long necklace for the back--very simple and elegant in my opinion. The only issue I can see people having with this dress... It is made to fit Mesh Bodies. If you do not own a Maitreya, SLink, or Bellza Mesh body, this dress will not work for you. It does NOT come in standard sizes for the default avatar. It also does not come with an alpha (since the mesh bodies come with an alpha hud).So buyer beware. Again, ALWAYS TRY DEMOS!

The ISON dress is default avatar and mesh body compatible. AND!!! You can buy the sweater also sold at the event, and wear the sweater with the dress. I ADORE this dress. It reminds me of a dress Emmy Rossum wore in her music video for "Slow Me Down". I love this dress. I like the sweater option, I really do...but this dress...... I love it. It is probably my new favorite. I won't lie.

Dress: ISON Skater Dress @Collabor88, Shoes: ChicChica Princess Gold, Necklace: Mandala Yolo necklace @Collabor88, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring and CAE Phases Rings, Watch: Izzie's Watch silver/copper, Bracelets: Noodles Initial in Gold,  Hair: Truth Solace @We <3 Role-Play, Nosering: Zaara Ayanna Nosering, Skin: Glam Affair Emma @Collabor88 (make-up included), Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

I will stop there for tonight. I don't want to overwhelm too much. I would recommend checking out The Secret Store's sweater and pant, also Moon Amore has a fun sweater as well at Collabor88 worth looking at. Lots of Hairs and fun skins as well at this round. Go check it out whenever you have the time and the spare Linden$. Hugs and Smooches Tea Readers!!!!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos! I hope everyone's weekend has been a lot of fun. I also hope everyone had fun dressing up for the holiday! I dressed like Jack the Ripper this year. And let me tell you, my costume was EPIC! I had mutton chops and everything!!! Since Halloween is over, people can now fully enjoy the Autumn season, which has been gorgeous.

 Outfit: Erratic Ava Sweater and Meg Leggings @Uber, Hair: Olive Hair Vana @Uber, Nose Ring: Yummy Diamond Flower Nose Ring, Earrings: Yummy Double Diamond Studs, Necklace: Yummy Shining Crystal Necklace, Headband: Zenith Happy Halloween Headband, Shoes: Pure Poison Ingrid Pumps, Skin: Glam Affair Caroline @Uber, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, Whatever Fang Mesh Teet

Uber opened last weekend and the theme is Pumpkin Spice....LOVE! All the items have fall colors and are just amazing. I had to set a spending limit for this round, because if I did not set a limit I would buy all the items...All the items...

Erratic has a sweater legging combo exclusively for the Maitreya Mesh Body. I love the textures on the sweater. It looks like wool and I love it. Just LOVE. ISON has a fun poncho out for the event as well and the texture options to pick from are fun. Fashionably Dead has a cute dress and sweater combo, and the combo just reminds me of when I have the windows open on a crisp Autumn day and have the kettle on. It looks like something I would wear while bundling up on the sofa with a throw-blanket. Just deliciously wonderful. Reign has some really cool moccasins, and Emery has a shirt which reminds me of Coco Chanel with the simple colors and stripes-and as I have mentioned before, I am a sucker for Coco Chanel. Zenith has a wonderful dress which has a hud to change the texture of the skirt and the leather belt. I always love it when creators include huds to change textures. It gives you so much more options, like buying a fatpack...except not.... You know what I mean.

Outfit: Emery Ambrosio Flared Jeans with Apache Striped Top @Uber, Hair: NEW Truth Foxy without Hat @Uber, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Wedding Ring, Shoes: Rebel Gal Starry-Eyed Leather Boots (not shown), Skin: Glam Affair Caroline @Uber, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teet

I don't often talk about the hairs I am wearing but for the Pumpkin Spice round, I feel I have to. Truth's hair is just...Adorable! Just Adorable!!! It comes with a hat option, and the hat is a fox! You can even change the fox's colors with a hud. I ADORE IT!! And I am not often one for hats. Olive also has a cute side braid and I am a complete sucker for braids. Due has a cute hair as well, again it is a side braid, but it reminded me too much of Truth's Ishya. Still really cute.

Outfit: Zenith Sweater with Skirt @Uber, Hair: NEW Truth Foxy w/Hat @Uber, Necklace: CAE Juno, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Wedding Ring, Shoes: Reign Moccasins @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Caroline @Uber, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Sort of short post again this week, but I just really hope everyone has enjoyed Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. Remember to pay your respects to your ancestors and don't forget--pour yourself a cuppa.

Earl Grey for the Muted Coven

Happy Sunday! I hope this week has been another amazing week for everyone. I was glad to have Monday off from work due to Labor Day, and I have been so ready for the weekend. I think it is time for a long vacation. Especially since kids are back in school now.

Outfit: ISON Occult @Collabor88, Shoes: Fri.day Samantha Booties @Collabor88, Hair: Olive The Pumpkin Pie with #5 Bangs @TheArcade, Ring: LaGyo Layered Rings1 @TheChapterFour, Earrings: Maxi Gossamer The Moon and Stars For You, Lip Gloss: Maxi Gossamer Romy Goddess, Skin: Glam Affair Marta @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Collabor88 opened on Tuesday with the theme Muted Coven. I took the theme to mean understated/subtle witchcraft. While most of the colors are dark, they are not "Bold" dark--to me everything looks to have some sort of grey shade. Still a few other color options available (I bought a few white and blue pieces).

There were a few outfits I fell in LOVE with, like immediately just had to have. ISON has this dress/overcoat outfit where there is an option for a moving coat. The dress has a look of sophistication and the coat gives the dress some flare. But the moving tailcoat option is like...the best thing ever. Here is a short video of it moving; it is really fast in the main picture shown, but a small way down there is another video with the actual movement speed. I bought the midnight blue color because the moving of the coat made me think of ocean waves...but I had to go back for the white set as well. Love this outfit! I also bough a lace outfit by Pixicat. I am a sucker for lacy, so when I saw this skirt with the lace overlay. The top is cute as well, kinda like a bralette.

Dress: M.Birdie Lexy @Collabor88, Coat: Schadenfreude Thessaly (men's size) @Collabor88, Shoes: Pure Poison Ingrid Pumps @Collabor88, Hair: Little Bones Hexxed @Collabor88, Wand: Boom Swish and Flick Cedar 10 1/3 inch, Ring: LaGyo Layered Rings1 @TheChapterFour, Skin: Glam Affair Marta @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Mesh Teeth

I also fell for a dress by MBirdie. Very tight fitted, and the triangle cutout in the breast area adds so much. I saw the ad for the dress and I did a bad thing, I bought without trying the demo. BUT it worked out and the dress fits perfectly. I have a few MBirdie pieces which require lots of editing of my shape in order to fit properly, but this dress fits so well. And while I was putting the outfit together I had to teleport back to the event (after it taking me an hour to get there...and the lag was HORRIBLE) and purchase a coat/cloak from Schandenfreude. I decided the whole ensemble reminds me of a Hogwarts professor. AND the dress looks good with the ISON overcoat as well! Big plus.

Foxy also as a cute dress and hat outfit. Makes witchcraft look more modern and updated. And the hat fits with the Exile hairs at the event pretty well. Only minor adjustments to make them fit. On a bit of a side note...I hate editing hats. I love fancy hats, but editing always kills me. I make the hat too small, too lopsided, not enough tilt, not the same size. I am just horrible. All I had to do with this hat was move a small bit and do a small little rotation. Then Viola! Perfect look.

Dress: Foxes The Craft @Collabor88, Hat: Foxes The Craft Hat in Tan @Collabor88, Hair: Exile Songbird @Collabor88, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Soul Catcher Book of Spells @Collabor88, Ring: LaGyo Layered Ring1 @TheChapterFour, Shoes: Pure Poison Ingrid Pumps @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Marta @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Enough of my crazy shopping addiction for now. I hope you get a chance to take a look at Collabor88 this month; its a wonderful round. Enjoy the rest of your week. Don't forget to take some time for yourself. Have a cuppa and stay safe!

Chocolate Croissants for a Sinful Experience

Yay for Sundays! I hope this week as been amazing. I know for me it really has been. I am back to a normal work schedule, and I have been trying to spend as much time as I can soaking up the end of summer--who knows how this winter will be.

Dress: Baiastice Vania Sheer version @FestivalofSin, Hair: Truth Posy, Necklace and Earrings: Maxi Gossamer Solaris Pearl Drop set Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Bracelet: Noodles Initial Bracelet Silver, Shoes: Fri.day Narcissa Heels @FestivalofSin, Panties: Erratic Alicia, Skin: Glam Affair Fiona, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Slink Hands and Feet

Festival of Sin opened last Sunday, and I was so shocked at how easy it was to teleport in and to find everything. The layout is very fun; each sin is separated (lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth, vanity) and it was so fun exploring the different areas. I only made purchases in envy and vanity. Envy's set is my favorite. It looks like a pleasant suburb with trees, birds and cute little houses.

The two outfits I bought were from Baiastice and Junbug. Baiastice's dress is really opulent looking to me. You have choices between solid and ombre colors. In each pack there is a solid and a sheer version. In my opinion the sheer version is the best. It shows off your legs, and leaves your privates covered enough so you do not have to wear underwear if you do not want to (and still don't really "show" anything). The Junbug outfit isn't a dress; it is a "bloomer" set. I personally love the flowers. The openness of the front with the complete coverage in the back makes it look fun from every angle! I don't think I will be wearing the outfit "out" much, but I will probably be running around my studio and home in it. Yay!

Uber opened on Tuesday with an Athletic theme. I bought more than I thought I would, but my real purchases were some skins by Glam Affair. They are a bit brighter and cleaner, and I love them! I bought a few sports items,but my favorite has to be a cropped t-shirt from Bueno which says, "Yoga and Wine". The shirt is a darker purple, not my normal color, but it looks great with my new pair of Yoga pants from Blueberry which are AMAZING! I know this picture is kind of random, but I like this look a lot as well.

Oolong Tea with S'mores on Warm Summer Nights

Yay for Sundays! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! Today is the last day of my only "normal" weekend for the month, so I plan on enjoying myself as much as possible. The next few weekends I will be working extra days.

Outfit: COCO Denim Shirt and Lace Pencil Skirt @ShinyShabby, Hair: Tableau Vivant Whispers @TheFantasyCollective, Rings: Schadenfreude Fox Wee Beastie and Yummy Spring Garden, Nosering: Yummy Diamond Flower, Tattoo: Things Paziah, @TheFantasyCollective, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi JamaicaII @ShinyShabby, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

The theme for Shiny Shabby this month is Country. I have recently mentioned in my post on Uber's Rustic theme country is not my thing. With my family's background you would think I would be a good ol' country girl... I am an oddity. Anyway, the theme is Country, and again, I curbed my spending and only bought a few things at Shiny Shabby. I bought a denim top and lace skirt by COCO, and I bought a long shirt/dress by Zenith. I think I like the outfit by COCO better, just because I love lace. The skirt is very nice and I know I will be able to pair it with multiple shirts and outfits. The denim top is nice, but I know I will the skirt will be the real versatile. You buy the shirt and skirt separate, so you can pick your colors (which is always awesome). The Zenith dress is long and I think my favorite detail is the small leather belt around the waist. There are some cute wicker-basket handbags to match, but I didn't feel like they were needed for the outfit. Just put on a cute hat and you are good to go for a day walking around town.

FaMESHed opened on the first, and I was so surprised to see Zaara there!!! She has a new swimsuit out, and the prints are all fantastic. It was really hard for me to pick out one, and I think I will end up breaking down and buying the fatpack. So amazing. The suit comes in standard mesh sizes and one fitted for Maitreya's Lara Mesh Body. She has also updated past mesh swimsuits to fit the Lara Mesh Body.  Zenith also has a cute ruffle dress. It reminds me of a mix between a toga and a maxi dress. I also couldn't pick out a color, so I went with white (my good ol' stand by).

Dress: Zenith Purfle Dress @FaMESHed, Hair: Oleander Kkyung for The Mix, Nosering: CAE Septum Piercing for The Mix, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Natural6 Lashes, Tattoo: Letis Mehndi, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Shoes: Reverie Westcoast (not shown)

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and a great week! Thanks for reading this week's post, and remember to have fun! Hugs and Smooches~

Feni for Summer Parties

Yay for Sundays! This week has been long and fun; I am finally ready to start enjoying my Summer. Even though I still have to work and have no time-off scheduled, I am ready to soak up some sun and to spend my time in the water with fun cocktails and beverages. I hope everyone had a good week--now to this week's post.

The Arcade opened on Monday and of course I couldn't get through, even with my LetMeIn Hud. Tuesday evening I tried again and I got in after an hour! First thing I did was go to the Zaara gacha and I stayed there until I won at least one of every single item. That took a lot of time and a LOT of Linden, but oh so worth it. Her past gachas have been household items and such, but this time her theme is Goa, which is a state in India, and has a good mix of household and wearable items. Goa is very free-spirited and kind of a Hippie place. So, of course, all of Zaara's items are colorful and a bit trippy--I kinda like it. I love the pants and the bikini she has in the gacha as well as all the jewelry and accessories. The bikini is a rare(and has a color change hud included), and so is the beach shack build. There are about 8 different colors of the pants, and all the accessories are good quality.  The outfit I have put together looks perfect with one of the hairstyles from Truth located at The Arcade. The hibiscus flower included in the hair adds the perfect touch.

I, of course, played other gachas at The Arcade; Erratic had a Lazy Days gacha and seeing how I love lazy Sundays I had to play it. The negligee Alice is a rare and comes with a color change hud. It is very sexy, very pretty, and very lazy(ish).  I was able to wear it without an alpha; it fits so well. Also {anc}LTD's gacha has peacock pets and of course I had to play for them! I adore peacocks, so to have some peacock pets/familiars, it is just one of the best thing ever. PLUS, at my mom and dad's house a man down the way has pet peacocks and we can hear them calling at sunrise and sunset whenever we are outside. And mentioning pets/familiars, +Half-Deer+ has a dragon familiar gacha and they are super adorable. They have mermaid-like tails (which match the other gacha by +Half-Deer+ at the event) and come in cute colors. There are two secret colors, one looks gold/white and the other looks like a starry-sky. They are super cute and I don't think any color is better then the next, so you can play multiple times, or just play once.

FaMESHed opened as well on Monday and I didn't get too crazy with my shopping there as I normally do(I only really liked a few of the items). Glam Affair has a cute dress and cardigan set, all together costs about 450L$. I thought it looked really cute with some wedges I got at The Arcade and the other hair by Truth from this round of the Arcade. All together with a jewelry set my Maxi Gossamer, which is also at FaMESHed, reminds me of a girl from the 1940s or 1950s. The whole look is just very vintage, fun, and summery.

Outfit: Glam Affair Aya Bodycon Dress and Coldy Cardigan @FaMESHed, Shoes: Ingenue Carmen Wedges @TheArcade, Jewelry: Maxi Gossamer Esmeralda Gypsy @FaMESHed, Hair: Truth Gilda @TheArcade, Sunglasses: Zaara Retro Sunglasses @TheArcade, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

So for The Arcade, I recommend getting a LetMeIn Hud to help teleport you into the event, and for FaMESHed just enjoy a nice leisurely shopping experience. It should get easier to get into The Arcade after next Monday and until the event ends at the end of the month. Please take some time to go check both these rounds out. Hugs and Smooches~

I know I normally don't post where I take my pictures at, but I recently was shown around by a friend the redone sim that is home to a dance club called Lestastic; the ground part is all beachy and fun and so awesome for those of us ready for summer (or to us bloggers wanting fun beach pictures). Lestastic is a Lesbian club and is open to women(female avatars) every day and to everyone on Fridays.

Hong-Kong Style Milk Tea = Sweet and Lighter Taste

Hello my lovelies! I hope you have all had a wonderful week and have been enjoying the gorgeous weather outside now that Spring has Sprung, (or you are enjoying a wonderful crisp Autumn for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere). I know when I am not at work, I have been trying to go outside and enjoy nature. But enough with this week's weather, on with the post!

Outfit: Baiastice Gina Bouse and Vigo High Waist Shorts @Collabor88, Shoes: Fri.day Audrey Pumps, Headband: Zenith Leafs Headpiece @We<3Role-Play, Ring: Zenith Mirror Pearl Stone, Hair: Truth Neria, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Teeth, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes

Collabor88 opened this past Friday and the theme is "Into the Light". So lots of light bright colors....my perfect dream. So many pastels and so much brightness. I was in love and I still am.  I went way too buy happy. I spent an almost obscene amount of Linden$ at this round...and I know I will be spending more as the month goes on because I always end up going back and buying something at Collabor88.  First of all, if I were you I would look at the catalog to see all the items and plan out before you go. Everything is marked down for the event and once the round is over the price will increase if the creators put the items back out at their mainstores.

Outfit: The Secret Store Claire Peplum Blazer and Robin Pencil Skirt @Collabor88, Bracelet: Earthstones Marquessa Diamond Bracelet, Earrings: LaGyo Roysin Bud Earrings @Collabor88, Ring: Aisiling The Good Wife, Necklace: Yummy Pearl and Diamond Necklace, Hair: NEW Truth Katra, Heels: Ingenue Louise, Handbag: YS&YS Viareggio Special Edition Brown, phone: LP Plain Node, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slinks Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Teeth, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes

I don't think I have a favorite at this round. Tres Blah has an awesome cropped sweater out and some cute light jeans and skirts. Baiastice has a shirt/short combo out and the shorts threw me off... they aren't like you typical shorts...they are more like thick panties.... Really threw me off. But I bought them, and I like them. The Secret Store also has a cute shirt/skirt combo that I like. There is a combo by UFO (Ur.Favorite.One) and the shirt can be tucked or untucked so you pair it with other items. B.C.C has a dress that is simple and the textures are amazing on it. It looks like it is of a wool material. The only thing I don't like is the alpha for some reason doesn't cover all of the chest(so depending on your shape you might have some side boob). Also ISON has a shirt/short combo as well (Lots of combos this round). I bought the grey Aztec printed shorts and the simple white top. I thought the outfit would look good with a set of pearls I bought at We <3 Role-Play called Sara. I love this outfit and have been wearing it a lot recently.

Outfit: ISON Chiffon Shorts and Cutout Crop Top @Collabor88, Jewelry: S&P Sarah Bracelet and Necklace @We<3Role-Play, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Heels: Fri.day Cora, Hair: Tableau Vivant Writer Hair, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Teeth, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes

Surprisingly this post is very short, but the outfits and items at Collabor88 are all amazing. Please go check it out and bask in the brightness and light!

Mint Julep for the Derby

Yay! It is finally time for the Kentucky Derby! As all of you already know I love dressing up, and as you can guess Derby day is like one of the best days in the year to do it! All the fancy hats, pretty cocktail dresses. It is just a great time to get all dolled up to see some horses race.

I love horseback riding in Second Life. It was one of the first activities Earth did with me to welcome me into Second Life. God love her, I was so on the fence about joining and the day I signed up she bought me like five outfits, hair from Truth, my eyes (which I still wear today), my skin and AO, and then my first AKK horse. Her and I proceeded to ride for well over an hour. I fell in love with Second Life at that point. I would log on and ride around different areas while I was exploring. I still do.  Today I have like 6 AKK horses and I will be buying more. They are attachable prim horses, and the textures and animations on them are the best! I would love for AKK to come out with a ride-able mesh horse, but the horses they have out now are so easy to use and so awesome. They really can keep the horses the way they are.

Since today is the Kentucky Derby I just thought I would share my love of riding and wish all you fabulous readers a Happy Derby Day!!!

Let's all put out positive thoughts for the horse Ocho Ocho Ocho. It would be great for him to be in the top three at least! He's the one I am rooting for! Check out the info on all the horses here.

**On a fun side note, I am now a Truth Hair Blogger for this next period (3-6 months). It is so exciting to be chosen by my favorite hair creator! Thanks to Truth Hawks and all those involved in deciding the new bloggers and Congrats to all the new Bloggers!**

For a Sweeter Tea Try a Fruity Blend

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope this past week has been good for all of you. I know I have been trudging through, rain and all. But you know what they say, "April showers bring May flowers".  So here's to hoping we have lots of pretty flowers next month!

Dress: ISON T-Belt Shirt Dress @Collabor88, Shoes: ISON Girl Panic Boots (British Black), Earrings: Maxi Gossamer Ukai's Earrings (former Uber), Ring: Empyrean Forge Heritage Ring (former We<3RolePlay), Skin: Glam Affair Katra Party7 @Collabor88, Hair: D!va Angelica, Slink Hands, Guitar is Namine Guitar (you can actually play and make music with it...like legit play it)

Collabor88 opened on Wednesday with the theme Pretty in Punk.  I was skeptical at first. I liked the color scheme, but I am not a huge fan of skulls (excluding sugar skulls and La Calavera Catrina). Again, like fringe, not really for me, but on other people I think it looks completely B-A.  In Real Life I am uncomfortable in punk clothes, and if you are uncomfortable in your clothes, you don't look confident and if you don't look confident you are really missing something in your look. You ALWAYS want to wear something you are confident in. This doesn't always happen, but it is good to always try to be comfortable and confident. So, back to Collabor88, the designers really punk rocked it out this time. Yes, there are lots of skulls and punk elements so they really did keep with the theme. It was a bit of a challenge for me to pick things out to buy and think about how to pair and make some cute outfits, but I think I managed just fine. The great thing is the designers made it...neutral isn't even a good word for it....universal enough so if you aren't much of a punk rocker you can still buy something to create a real edgy look.

Erratic is there and has some loose tanks and some really cool leggings (they come for system layers and also there are appliers if you have a mesh body). I bought the star print leggings because it is very celestial (it also reminds me of the body suit I bought a while back at Uber by Foxes). The loose tanks either have something on the front or are plan (depending on the one you buy) and a skull cut-out in the back.  Glam Affair has a cute dress and leggings; the dress I bought has a lavender pattern and I have it paired with some lavender boots I found in my inventory by KoKo (I have been trying to pair it with items to make it look more edgy...not really working at this point).  ISON has a cool dress that looks like a twist at on the boyfriend shirt. Baiastice also has a cool three-piece set out which just reminds me of a more risqué female three-piece suit. I was surprised to see lots of union jack prints along with the skulls, a huge plus for me! I was a little worried at first because like I mentioned earlier, I am not much of a punk rocker chick. I was surprised and excited to see the creations. I still didn't go very crazy at Collabor88 as I usually do, but I did buy some awesome stuff (I did buy more skins by Glam Affair-they had some more Katra skins and I love this new skin).

And guess what opened on Friday....Seasons' Story!!! OMG! So exciting. I will be posting about Season's Story next Sunday to give me more time to get to the event and mess around with the outfits. Much Love Tea Readers. Hugs and Smooches~

A Killer Blend on a Moonless Night

Happy Sunday everyone! As you all know I am on vacation this week and won't be back home until next Sunday. So hopefully, as you read this post I will be sitting on a dock fishing, reading, and drinking some iced tea.

This month's theme for Collabor88 is Moonless Night, I thought it would be a Romantic and Mysterious round...more Mysterious than anything. What do we all do when the Sun is down and the Moon is hidden? What do you do when the stars are your only witnesses? Personally, I don't have anything to hide (at least I think I don't, I am a pretty open book).  I was really surprised with what everyone came up with for the theme. Apparently Moonless Night can be more interpreted as a theme towards the old TV show Twin Peaks. I am not familiar with Twin Peaks at all, so I had to do some light research into it.  Basic overview, Murder happens in the small mountain town of Twin Peaks, Washington. Sexy FBI guy (same actor as Charlotte's ex-husband Trey from Sex in the City) comes to town to solve the murder. That sums up what I got from my research. So a few of the items and references made with the items I unfortunately don't understand.  I was thinking it was going to be more towards romance, murder, and just plain mystery. But I guess Twin Peaks encompasses that...just not what I was expecting. I wish I got the references and hype on it.

Shirt: Tres Blah Angora Sweater @Collabor88, Skirt: Bueno Denim skirt @Collabor88, Hair: Exile Give @The Arcade, Shoes: Ingenue Laura Heels @Collabor88, Earrings: Erratic AEA Rose Pearl @The Arcade, Rings: Aisling The Good Wife and Schadenfreude Fox Wee Beastie @The Arcade, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Love Surrender, Skin: Glam Affair Amberly Lovely Day @Collabor88, Eyes: RedGrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink hands and feet

Overall, quite a few Twin Peaks references with the outfits. Like Nylon Outfitters/Yummy has some Letterman Jackets and accessories with references to the show.  There is a pretty Angora sweater by Tres Blah this round--there is a pencil skirt you can buy to go with it, but I wasn't a fan of the skirt. I also bought a denim skirt by Bueno, and both sweater and skirt do go well together. I also bought the outfit by ISON for this round. The dress has leather straps around the waist and arms, and it does remind me of a gun holster law enforcement would use. I also bought lots of shoes at this event. I couldn't help myself. And I normally don't fall for shoes in Second Life--Real Life is a whole different story.

Dress: ISON Wednesday @Collabor88, Rings: Ariskea Mystery Girl Silver @Collabor88, Boots: ISON Moonless Boots @Collabor88, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Secret Love Letter Locket @Collabor88, Skin: Amberly Lovely Day @Collabor88, Hair: Tableau Vivant Clio @We <3 Role-Play, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink hands and feet

Compared to last week, this post is super short.  I hope you all have enjoyed this week's post. I promise to spare a moment and think of you while I am soaking up some Vitamin D. Earth will have a Fashion Flashback for you lovelies next Sunday for the day I get back. I have a feeling it is going to be a very wonderful post. Lots of Hugs and Smooches~
