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~

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

Irish Coffee to Start Your Holidays

Sun has had a busy week, and when she asked me if I would consider doing this week's post I jumped at the chance. This has been both a busy and wonderful week for me. But this is not about me. This is about fashion--if there were an Uber theme made for me, it would be their current theme for the month, Androgynous. So settle in for a moment with some Irish Coffee or a cuppa.

Outfit: Jacket by Emery Andy Over the Shoulders Coat. Pants by Emery Adilet Jogger Black. Both at Uber. Bralet: Miss Chelsea's Bralet Black. Shoes: Pure Poison Dani Oxfords, at Uber. Hair: Truth Harmony Ponytail. Skin: Glam Affair Amberly II America. Freckles: Glam Affair. Necklace: Cae :: Timey Wimey Things. Eyes: EarthStones Eyes of the World. Eyelashes: Redgrave 1 Daily.

I usually do not do much when it comes to fashion events on Second Life. Sun is usually the one to tell me all about it and shows me what I might want to get, or what she thinks will look good on me. Sun told me she thought this month's theme of Androgynous for Uber reminded her of me and that I would love it. I went, and I spent much more Linden than I had planned. Oh my goodness. I was in fashion heaven. I loved every outfit. I do not think I could pick a favorite for this round of Uber. I will be going back to get more once I get paid.

Outfit: Blazer: Ryvolter:: Kirsten Crepe Blazer. Skirt: Ryvolter:: Kirsten Lace-up skirt, both at Uber. Necklace: ISON Nova Tribe Necklace. Hair: Truth Harmony Ponytail. Skin: Glam Affair Amberly II America. Freckles: Glam Affair. Eyes: EarthStones Eyes of the World. Eyelashes: Redgrave 1 Daily.

It was nice to see an event that has so many different styles which can be worn by both genders. This is not generally something I tend to think about when I'm out shopping for my avatar; I hardly ever go shopping for my avatar because nine times out of ten I'm in my dragon avatar. But after walking around Uber, I was pleased to see that both genders can use some of these outfits and styles. So if you have a boyfriend, husband, male avatar, or if you just want to get some awesome clothes, go to Uber. You have a plethora of chic options to choose from.

Outfit: Miss Chelsea Erin Blazer and Combats, Both at Uber. Hair: Truth Posy. Earrings: aru Suzanne Brass. Skin: Glam Affair Amberly II America. Freckles: Glam Affair. Necklace: Cae :: Timey Wimey Things. Eyes: EarthStones Eyes of the World. Eyelashes: Regrave 1 Daily.

And since the opening rush is done and over with for Uber, it should not take you more than one try to get into the event. Just be sure to bring plenty of Linden.

Lavender Tea for Pleasant Daydreams

Happy Sunday Tea Readers! I hope this week has been awesome for all, and your weekend has been a long joyful one. I only have today off, then back to the crazy work week tomorrow. Time sure does fly when you are having fun... or working.

Collabor88's Fourth Birthday is this month, and for the birthday round the theme is.... DREAMER! Lots of  light colors, and very whimsical designs. I tried to be more responsible with my linden, as I have been trying to do lately while out shopping, and as usual Collabor88 just brings out the shopaholic in me. I think we all consider ourselves dreamers. I know I am a HUGE dreamer; whether it be fanciful or practical my mind never ceases to wander at certain moments. And who doesn't like a good daydream?

Dress: Pixicat Dreamy Dress in Clouds @Collabor88, Hair: D!va ft Bauhaus Movement "Ride with the Sun" @Collabor88, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Dream Orb, Shoes: Pure Poison Artizan Cloud Pumps @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Luna @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Mesh Fang Teeth, Flying Books by Intrigue @Collabor88 (They are SUPER COOL~)

First, my FAVORITE item at the event is by Pixicat. The dress is a cute poof of a dress, and there are lots of color options available. My favorite (I am guessing it is everyone's favorite, because I have seen LOTS of people wearing these prints) are her animated cosmic and sky prints. Oh. My. Goodness. So mesmerizing. The cloud print--you guessed it--has clouds all over it. The sheer overlay is animated so there are clouds floating "around" on the skirt. Now it isn't like a cloud add-on. It is an actual print... And I know my pictures don't do it justice, but just look at this plurk! The video is of the cosmic print, and I just love both dresses. Both animated prints are 288L$ instead of 188L$ for the regular colors, but are so worth it. I can not say enough about these dresses. AND the dresses are mesh body compatible. AWESOMESAUCE~

ISON has a really pretty formal gown at Collabor88, called the Orchid Gown. Very pretty, and again, very formal. It would make a nice dress for a wedding, a ball, or hell to go shopping in. I don't judge (I have been known to go grocery shopping in cocktail attire just for a bit of a pick me up). I like the orchids on the bodice of the dress--it adds a fanciful feel to the gown. It comes in a few solid colors and a few ombre colors. I bought the blue ombre, and it goes so well with one of the new hairs by Truth. I just really liked putting this dress together.

Dress: ISON Orchid Gown @Collabor88, Hair: NEW Truth Priya, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Dream Orb @Collabor88, Rings: ieQED Dream Ring Set in Gold @Collabor88, Shoes: Pure Poison Artizan Cloud Pump @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Luna @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

There are some other items I felt compelled to purchase due to the wow factor and the price was oh so right. D!va has partnered with Bauhaus Movement on two hairs. Bauhaus movement did this cute antler/floral headband (which using the included hud you can resize and turn on/off). I bought "Ride with the Sun" because.....of reasons. Also Foxes (Birdy Foxes) has some cute lingerie items. I bought the bra-panty set and nightie of the cosmic print because of my cosmic feels for the event. Also Junbug has an evening gown which to me seems very Modern Fae. It appears to almost be a mermaid cut and then the bottom of the dress just spreads out and appears to be a fluffy cloud. Really cute. Tres Blah also has a cute styled dress. Well, there are two styles of dress for Tres Blah at the event; I only bought the turtle-neck flower collared dress. There is another dress which reminds me of a school girl....and I didn't like it. For some reason it reminded me of a peppy Wednesday from the Adam's Family. Maxi Gossamer has a gorgeous, and I do mean GORGEOUS, necklace at the event and it is a dream orb. It comes in two different tones, and the two tones come in two different lengths! You can color change the orb to match whatever outfit you have on or add it to an outfit which has been missing a little "umph" as my dad used to say. I thought the necklaces when great with the Pixicat dresses.

Dress and Balloon: Moon Amore Papillion Dreams and Blue Butterfly Balloon @Collabor88, Shoes: Fri.day Aisling Wraps in Cloud @Collabor88, Ring: ieQED Dream Ring set in Gold @Collabor88, Hair: NEW Truth Heloisa, Skin: Glam Affair Luna @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

The layout of Collabor88 is the same...but different--it looks really dreamy. I recommend looking up at the sky! Very magical. It is the same structure as last year's birthday round, and double the designers/creators of a normal round. Lots and LOTS  of guest designers. Only two stalls have gifts out for the event. Milk Motion and Moon Amore. Milk Motion's is just a mesh belt to go with their outfit. Moon Amore's gift are a bunch a bunch of balloon's with butterflies in them! It matches their dress and it can be worn on with something else. Super cute.

Outfit: Pixicat Dreamy Dress in Cosmic @Collabor88, Hair: NEW Truth Sakina, Rings: IeQED Dream Ring Set in Gold @Collabor88 and Schadenfreude Fox Wee Beastie, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Dream Orb @Collabor88, Shoes: Pure Poison Artizan Cloud Pumps @Collabor88, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Skin: Glam Affair Luna @Collabor88, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Mesh Fang Teeth

Well, I think I may have overloaded everyone with the awesomeness that is Collabor88 this month. Please go check it out. It should be much easier to get into now since it has been open for over a week. Much love! Hugs and Smooches my Tea Readers~
