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!

Mermaids Must Have a Kelp-y Brew

Happy Sunday my Tea Readers! This past week has been crazy busy again for me. On a positive note, I didn't work yesterday. I like working on Saturdays because it is quiet and I get a lot of work done. However, it stinks having only a day off ,then going back to work on Monday. Good news, I still have done a lot this past week, including getting this week's post done.~

Outfit: Baiastice Oceane Dress with Mermaid Jewel Bra @Collabor88, Hair: D!va Ariel @Collabor88, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Serena Seashells and Pearls @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

Okay, this summer's theme is appearing to be mermaids, because mermaids is the theme for Collabor88, Season's Story's backdrop is some mermaid ruins, and later this summer Enchantment will start and the story theme is The Little Mermaid. So yea, this summer is very "under the sea". As a marine biologist I adore the sea and all sea-life. If I could have one wish it would be to become a mermaid. I just love the idea of swimming around all day, looking at all the life under the water and playing with fish and cetaceans, even some of the perils of underwater life don't really phase me. I think I would make an awesome mermaid.

When I saw the theme for Collabor88 last month was chosen for "Under the Sea", I was immediately excited(like when they picked the "Into the Light" and "OMG! Unicorns"). Lots of light blues and purples for this event, and LOTS and LOTS of mermaid stuff--from sea shells to fish scales! I bought the blue ombre tank top by ISON with matching silver fish scale leggings--it is one of the more conservative looks from the event. Baiastice has a really pretty evening gown at the event, and a cute shell bra which is compatible with the dress. Foxes has two dress at the event and I had to be different and buy the blue/purple dress because it just looks so good! My favorite dress buy from the event has to be by Fashionably Dead. This blue dress is a high-lo and has "scales". When I went to the Hair Fair last Saturday evening this tentacled hair by Ohmai looks perfect with it(at least to me it does).

Dress: Fashionably Dead Dorothy @Collabor88, Hair: !Ohmai Salon Tako with Tentacle add on (it moves and twitches too!) @HairFair, Jewelry: Amala The Shell Set @Collabor88, Shoes: Gos Audrey @Collabor88, SLink Hands Feet and Eyelashes, Skin: Glam Affair Katra

The Hair Fair is an annual event which doubles as a fundraiser for "Wigs for Kids". Each vendor has a certain percentage of their profits going towards the "Wigs for Kids" charity. The event opened last Saturday, and this year I went to the event so prepared! I don't think I have EVER planned out my shopping this intense before. I did all my normal research, Strawberry Singh was kind enough in one of her blog posts to link the Eloquence Blog which has pictures, prices, and locations for each vendor. So what did I do Saturday morning when I had a break at work? I looked at the hairs, and wrote the vendors and the locations for all the hairs I wanted. When I eventually logged on to Second Life in the evening I teleported into the Blonde Sim, and did area searches for all the hairs on my "Blonde" list. I did the same for Brunette, Redhead, and Noirette. I didn't teleport to the other sims, I tried to walk or fly into the other sims. Thanks to whoever made the decision to allow fly! It helped with getting around and fighting lag. I was vastly surprised when I only spend about an hour (maybe a bit longer, but definitely not an hour and a half) getting into the event and doing all my shopping. Last year when I went I was at the Hair Fair for 2+ hours, which lead me to prepare and plan everything.

Outfit: Pixicat Aquatic Dress @Collabor88, Hair: Analog Dog Bangers GIFT @HairFair, Shoes: Fri.Day Ursula @Collabor88, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Skin: Glam Affair December II, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Mesh Fang Teeth

Season's Story opened last Friday, and I didn't get as buy crazy as I did at the other events. The sim is gorgeous, it all looks like mermaid ruins, and who doesn't like to shop and fun places? I spent a bit of linden "playing" the Zenith gacha. I really wanted a bodysuit/swimsuit which is the rare item. I also played another gacha by SWaGGa for some flippers. I recently bought a wet suit by Meli Imako and the flippers match so well!! Now I can go snorkeling and adventuring underwater in Second Life while not being a mermaid... Who am I kidding, I will still be a mermaid~  I didn't really buy much else at Season's Story. I think after this past weekend I am all shopped out.

Outfit: Meli Imako Women's Wetsuit, Flippers: [SWaGGa] Flippers @Season'sStory, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Vintage Race Whistle, Henna: Letis Mehndi, Hair: Truth Benita, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Mesh Fang Teeth

Long post for today. There are lots of other great items at Season's Story, but nothing really big that I felt I needed to share. I will be sure to put more items and such from these events in upcoming posts. Happy Sunday everyone! Enjoy your cuppa and the rest of your weekend.

Maharaja Chai and a Berry Scone

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope this past week has been wonderful for all of you. I know it was rough for me. Turns out I had the stomach flu and a sinus infection. Despite my sickness, I still was able to enjoy my shopping, and lets just say... I have really enjoyed this past week.

Dress: GizzA Cathy Blazer @ShinyShabby, Shoes: Fri.day Bailey Loafers, Hair: NEW Truth Celeste, Necklace: Aphorism Bijou Moonstone @ShinyShabby, Rings: ieQED Persephone (not shown in picture) @ShinyShabby, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Teeth, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes

Shiny Shabby opened last week and let me just say....flowers! Lots of floral prints and garden items. Everyone is trying to jump into spring and prepare for the fun summer. I bought some jewelry sets by Aphorism, some rings by ieQED, and a dress by GizzA. I didn't end up buying the dress from Zenith. I tried the demo and the skirt didn't look flattering on my shape.  Fun round, and there are some cute shoes as well, so go check it out. There is something there for everyone.

Dress: Baiastice Lekha Dress @Uber, Hair: NEW Truth Ishya @Uber, Jewelry: Maxi Gossamer Maharani @Uber, Henna: Things Temple Hands, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands

Now onto my favorite thing since Collabor88 opened a few weeks ago...UBER! The theme this round is Spice, and let me tell you it reminds me of Bollywood and India and is just my dream. This month is looking to be my month for rounds. Collabor88 is Into the Light, and is all with my favorite color schemes. Uber is Spice and has my style and pieces of my soul. I just.... Love it. All the Hairs are awesome. Truth's is fun--it is a long side braid. Moon has a pretty LONG (like really long) hair. Olive has a LONG (again, like really long) hair. And Little Bones has a hair that is long and one comes with a head-scarf option and it is just fun.  I bought a lot of hairs this round.

Outfit: Seul Delilah Top and Organza Open Front Skirt @Uber, Shoes: Pure Poison Yalla Flats @Uber, Hair: Olive Powder @Uber, Jewelry: Izzie's Nidhi Set @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Eyeliner Adored Cherry Bomb Winged Liner

I bought a ton of jewelry and outfits, but I am only going to mention of few of them for this post. If I listed all the outfits and jewelry pieces I bought this would turn into a monstrously long post.  I really like the Couture Saree by Nylon Outfitters. It is partial mesh with system layers/applier layers.  She also has silk shirts and leggings, all in fun prints and colors. Seul has a fun cropped shirt/skirt combo which is very fun. The skirt is high-low and very long in the back; I love it. Maxi Gossamer has a fun jewelry set. The set has a slight discount for the event, so when it goes up in her mainstore the price will increase. The best thing about the Maxi Gossamer set is you can change the colors of the jewels and the metals! So this is a great set to go with practically any outfit. Also...Zaara is at this round! And she has released something for the men this time. A very handsome suit and turban. I ended up buying a turban for myself. I think I will pair it with a dress or something. One of Glam Affair's vendor pictures inspired me. Anyway Zaara's male suit is very dashing and every gentleman needs one, and every lady needs to make sure her man buys one. Love this suit.

Hal (my partner) is wearing: Zaara Nehru Suit and Aahil Turban @Uber, Hair: Damselfly Legolas, Shoes: Utopia Dallas, Skin: Story Leaf Patrick, Eyes: Candy Lenze Pale Blue, Slink Hands and Lemon Tea Elven Ears
I am wearing: Nylon Outfitters Couture Saree @Uber, Hair: Little Bones Shaaswat @Uber, Necklace: Yummy Circle Charm Om @Uber, Shoes: Reign Isobel Foot Chains (not shown) @Uber, Jewelry: Zaara Ayanna Nosering and Earrings, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Eyeliner: Adored Cherry Bomb Winged Liner, Slink Hands and Feet

So this round of Uber is amazing--you need to go. Shiny Shabby is also very fun and relaxing. You also need to go. I hope you all have a wonderful week this week. Let's all just bask in the awesomeness of the creators/designers at these events. Thank you!

Masala Chai and a Bohemian Blend

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great Holi and a great weekend. I always feel like the weekends go by way too fast. But lately I feel like the work week has had a good steady pace, too.  Just a small FYI, I may be posting the next few Sundays late or early (I don't know which yet)--I will be going on vacation to recharge my batteries. I am going to try to convince Earth to do some guest blogging while I am gone.

Dress: League Ananda La @Uber, Necklace and Earrings: Yummy Boho Blue and Silver @Uber, Hair: Truth Delphine @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Alice Cygana Jamaica @Uber, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink hands, Mouth: Whatever Fang Teeth

Uber opened on the 24th (or was it the 25th.... I can't even remember) and the new theme is Bohemian. Let me just say, wow. First, I really like the hair by Truth Hawks this round (I normally do...); it is a large braid, and looks more like a twisted curl, in the back with options for flowers or butterflies to add in front and back. I can see myself wearing this hair a lot. I adore braids. Nylon Outfitters has a few items again at the event. I wasn't so interested in the clothes, I was really into the jewelry. I really like the turquoise and silver earrings and necklace. The necklace has got strands of turquoise layered on top of each other, and it is rather large, but not obnoxiously so. Currently I have it paired with an outfit I bought from Uber by League. It is a long sweater/skirt combo and has a cool leather belt. I, of course, bought the white/gray dress and the necklace and earrings pair so well. I really like the look. Very bohemian, and also very simple and subdued.

My FAVORITE thing at Uber this round is a skirt by CandyDoll. There are lots of different prints, and the skirt is very well fitted. I bought two different prints, an Aztec print (it looks more Moroccan than Aztec to me) and a large floral print.  I have this lacy crop top I bought a while back from Chapter Four by Ionic and it pairs perfectly with this skirt by CandyDoll (I am getting really proud of myself more and more for pairing separate pieces together. I used to be horrible at it). I had been planning on buying a skirt/crop top combo from Foxes this round, but unfortunately the top had some fringe (not a lot, but some). It is not very noticeable from afar, so I didn't really notice it in the preview pictures.

Shirt: Ionic Lace Crop Top, Skirt: CandyDoll: Luna Skirt Aztec III @Uber, Shoes: Just Design Boho Vintage Brick @Uber, Necklaces: Yummy Hamsa, Shining Crystal and Small Crystal @N21, Earrings: Yummy Boho Earrings Blue/Silver @Uber, Hair: Truth Delphine with Flowers in front and back @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Alice Cygana Jamaica @Uber, Bracelets: Zenith Cross Anchor Love and Izzie's Eternity Bracelet, Nosering: Zaara Ayanna, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes. Slink Hands and High Feet

Now a bit of a side note:  I know I have mentioned this before, but I am not a fan of fringe. I don't know what it is, but to me it just makes an outfit look unfinished most of the time. I do realize a LOT of people like fringe; it is in style, and it is quite bohemian.... However.....I still don't like it. I know I am weird. Fringe just doesn't do it for me. I will admit there are some fringe items I like. And some people look fantastic in fringe... Like my Soul Sister, Kalia, she bought the outfit by Foxes and she looks GREAT in it. She was wearing it at The Woods on my Birth/Rez Day the week before and she looked amazing. She can pull off fringe. I look like a hobo (not even a stylish hobo chic....like the hobo living behind your house in the woods).

The Arcade opened up on Sunday, March 1st and I hate to admit this, but I spent the WHOLE day trying to teleport in...with no success--but this is usual with The Arcade. When I was finally able to get in,  I got almost everything I wanted from The Arcade. Not many outfits in this round, more accessories and home items. There is a "Arabian Nights" styled outfit set by Enfant which I feel in love with as soon as I saw the previews. There is a gamer girl outfit set by Birdy Foxes which was cute, and a Wonderland set by Pixicat. The big jewelry items I wanted was by Schadenfreude wee beastie rings and Nylon Outfitters(Yummy) Lucky Cat Necklaces. I was lucky enough to have gotten every thing I wanted from all the vendors, except one..... Of course there is only one. The hairs by Tableau Vivant and Exile are really pretty. Tableau Vivant's is large and not practical for everyday wear...but I like it so much. Exile's hair is very practical, very pretty, and the best part is you get two styles in one pack!

Dress: Zenith Springtime Casual Skirt Sea @FaMESHed, Shoes: L.Warwick Svannah in Navy, Necklace: Yummy Celestial Burst, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Bracelet: Yumyums Sailors Token Steel Anchor and Earthstones Twisted Peppermint Stick, Hair: Tableau Vivant Shiny @Shiny Shabby, Skin: December II Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink hands and feet, Mouth: Whatever Fang Teeth

FaMESHed opened as well on Sunday, with way more success in the teleporting department. I was able to get in quick (about the fifth try).  I bought Zenith's new Springtime Casual dress in the sailor print because I do love ocean stuff (I am a marine biologist). The sleeves of the dress go to the elbow and are bunched up, giving it a more "Real Life" look/feel. Also there is an outfit set by Lumiere--it is a sheer top and a patterned shorts. Both pieces are separate, so you can pick your combo. It is rather more expensive (it was about $500L together), but it does look really well. For the shirts there are three options, a full shirt, partial for an open jacket (that option goes with longer jackets not cropped) and a closed jacket option (again, also longer jackets). I think the shirt would look great with a cropped jacket, but the string in the back (which also happens to be one of my favorite parts of the shirt) doesn't go with the cropped jackets I have. I need to do some pairing with hair and jackets. Even without a jacket, it looks stunning and simple. Very Springy. I like it.

Outfit: Lumiere Apparel Sheer Top Nude and Trouser Shorts Floral#3 @FaMESHed, Shoes: Reign Bohemian Energy Wedges, Handbag: Glam Affair Maria Clutch @FaMESHed, Bracelets: Glam Affair Bangles Candy, Necklace: Yummy Embelished Key Necklace Gold, Earrings: Aisling Roz, Hair: Exile Scribbled Hearts, Skin: Glam Affair Amberly II Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

My post is long...Really long...so I will stop there for now.  I hope you all had a wonderful Holi, had a great weekend, and I hope this week is full of fun times and lots of shopping. Much Love~

How About a Celestial Blend?

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope everyone has been safe and warm this past week, what with blizzards, chills, and just overall crazy weather...At least here in the United States. I know some of you are overseas, and I want you all to stay safe and warm, too! Go now; steep some breakfast blend and stay awhile.

Uber opened last Sunday, and as most of you know, the theme this month Celestial.  Not really so much with the Sunday Tea theme, BUT I am a huge Star Trek fan, and an overall nerd, so this theme was very fun for me. I ended up spending more than I originally thought, and bought some outfits I don't normally wear for myself.  When I think of Celestial, I think of space and time, of heaven, of stars, and, funny enough, Metaphysics. Don't ask why, it just does for some reason. My mind is a jumbled mess of crazy.

I bought two jumpsuits by Foxes, one in off-white and the other is a galaxy/star print. I don't normally wear jumpsuits, but when I was looking at the suits I just had to buy one, and then after a mishap with delivery (my fault, I have a click happy hand) I bought another.  Now, I bought the suit that has the sleeves, and has a deep V-cut...so quite a bit of cleavage, but as always with 99% of what I wear, it still tasteful.  I paired it with jewelry by Yummy which is also at the event.  The necklaces you can layer, and I also put on the short sun pendant by Schadenfreude which was available at Collabor88 last November for the Modern Alchemist round. The hair by Truth for this round is also a must have--a curly side pony with a braid and optional star berets.

Jumpsuit: Foxes V-Neck Nebula @Uber, Hair: Truth Esther with Silver Clip @Uber, Necklaces: Yummy Celestial Necklaces Burst and Moon & Schandenfreude Short Sun , Bracelets: Earthstones Krishna, Earrings: Earthstones Tennis Amethyst and Diamond, Ring: Yummy Twinkling Star @Uber, Shoes: LaRoo Alison Pumps in Grey, Skin: Glam Affiar Amberyl II Jamaica with Romy Lipstick for Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural Lashes6, Slink Nails and Whatever Teeth

Zenith has a sweater out which reminded me a bit of Star Trek: Into Darkness(there is a unisex jacket there by David Heather which reminded me exactly of Khan's coat from the beginning. I didn't buy it, but I do know someone who I am going to make buy it because he would look so dapper and just awesome in it). The sweater is kind-of-almost off the shoulder, and the end of the sleeves have a hud you can color change. There are some necklaces there to pair with it (and Maxi Gossamer has a cleaner cut necklace of a very similar style) but I did not purchase those. I have it paired with some leather leggings by Plastik called Shine. I bought them a long time ago, and the combo of the leather leggings and this sweater..well, I think it is perfect, but you can tell me if I am wrong.

Sweater: Zenith Yuanyang Sleeve Sweater @Uber, Leggings: Plastik Galatea Legging in Shine, Jewelry: Yummy Celestial Necklace and Twinkling Star Earrings and Ring @Uber, Hair: Truth Esther with Silver Clip @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair December II Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen, Eyelashes: Redgrave Naturals, Slink Fingernails and Whatever Teeth

The Jewelry by Yummy I preferred to the other jewelry there (it is also priced very well, very cheap in my opinion for a quality so high). There is also a dress by Seul which I purchased  I think it fits well (the alpha layer, on the back of the neck does not match up well with the dress--so if you wear a short hair, or any hair that reveals the back of your neck, at the top of the dress, you can see through your body...not awesome, but the dress is so pretty, longer hair won't hurt it at all).  There is a jacket you can buy separately, but I liked the dress by itself, and trust me, It is simple and gorgeous by itself.

Dress: Seul Metallic Knit Dress @Uber, Hair: Truth Esther with Silver Clip @Uber, Jewelry: Earthstones Krishna Harmony Necklaces and bracelets, Earrings: Earthstones Tennis Earrings Amethyst and diamonds, shoes: LaRoo Khloe, Ring: Tea.s Starfleet Ring, Skin: Glam Affair Amberly II Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen, Eyelases: Redgrave Natural6

Everything at Uber this round is running on the cheaper side, and my wallet thanks the designers for it.  Since Uber has opened, I have been at least 4 times. Again, the theme Celestial isn't quite Sunday Tea, but my inner nerd is so in love... so in love. Set some time, and some L$, aside this month and go check out Uber.
