A Cup of Assam to Go With Your Cake

Happy Sunday~ This afternoon I will be entering in the Usernames into the random site generator to pick the winner for the bundle of gift cards. Thanks to those of you who entered and there is still time to enter. I will entering the Usernames around 10 SLT, so 1 EST.  All you have to do is go the my post from Thursday, enter in your Second Life Username and tell me your favorite post from this past year. The Bundle has: 1 500L$ gift card to Truth Hair, 1 600L$ Maxi Gossamer Jewelry, 1 900L$ Gos Shoe Boutique. That's 2000L$ worth of accessories! Okay, I am done with the prize stuff, onto what you really want, FaMESHed, .

FaMESHed is having their Third Birthday (so many milestones this month) and they are celebrating big. There are about double the creators there, and almost every creator has a free gift for the event. All are amazing. To get the gifts you have to wear the FaMESHed group tag and then click on the blue present box.  There is a theme this round and it is very Beachy! And we all know how much I love beachy and nautical. First of all, the set up is massive compared to normal. Forget the city street stalls, this is like walking on a boardwalk. the apparel and accessories are all along the outside with home and garden decor in the center. Really nice set up and so easy to navigate (Plus the look is so fun and different. I really enjoyed the shopping atmosphere there).

My favorite buy from the event is probably a maxi-type dress by Valentina. Valentina has two different styled dresses at the event, one of them is one shoulder and had some sort of asymmetrical skirt which makes it kind of flirty--at least I think it looks flirty.  The other one, the maxi-type, the dress poofs out and there are these thick vertical lines going down. I bought the teal stripped dress and I just LOVE. It is so my style. One, it reminds me of the beach. Two, it looks very elegant and looks like something you would wear to a yacht or sailing club. And third, this dress has a poof...who doesn't like Poof?! I have been wearing it since I bought it. Zenith has a cute strapless dress with a cage/origami crane accessory that is fun. So of course I had to buy it. The only other outfit I have worn besides this dress is a jumpsuit by Fishy Strawberry which is also at FaMEShed. The jumpsuit is called Anniversario and it reminds me of something a Bond Girl would wear. For me the one thing that stands out the most isn't the cut of the suit, but the HUGE bell bottoms! Now when I say huge I don't mean like massive, but they are definitely bell bottoms, and I am a sucker for bell bottoms.

Another event Birthday is We <3 Role-Play. They are celebrating their 2nd Birthday. So many Birthday's this month. I was looking at the previews on The Blogging Elf's site and while I don't blog much about We <3 Role-Play (it doesn't always fit with Sunday Tea), I do go to the event every month and I do buy a LOT of stuff from poses to dresses to hairs to home items. I love Fantasy and I do enjoy some Role-Play (who doesn't?).  I only bought one full outfit by Enfant Terrible. It is very risque--the top and the bottom are non-rigged mesh and you can easily size it to fit your avatar. It took me like two minutes to get both to fit my shape, so easy. I bought some hairs by Tableau Vivant which I think are gorgeous. There are also lots of free of gifts and 10L$ items(I can't call them gifts if they aren't free). All you have to do is wear your We <3 Role-Play tag and click/buy.

Outfit including staff: Enfant Terrible Verelis in Dark  @We<3Role-Play, Hair: Damselfly Harvest @We<3Role-Play, Ears: Lemon Tea Wood Elf, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink hands and feet, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes

The Chapter Four is also having a birthday (May is the month for birthdays I guess).  I only bought one outfit by Kitja, it is very causal and I have been wearing it clubbing a bit. There are some cool accessories at the event as well, but I didn't go too crazy. Normally Glam Affair has skins at the event, but this round they have home items in a gacha. If I were you, I would teleport over to look at all the items there. Lots of fun little stuff you can buy to complete or start an outfit or a home project.

So overall, May is the month for birthdays! Get your group tags on and teleport over to the events. Get some free gifts and do some fabulous shopping! Hugs and Smooches my Tea Readers~~~

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~

Tea and a Seasoned Storyteller

Happy Sunday.  I hope this week has been productive and wonderful for all of you.  Last weekend was crazy in regards to events.  So this past week has been quite the reprieve from teleport craziness.

Season's Story opened last Saturday, and I had to try to teleport most of the day to get in. Once I got in, after trying on and off most of the day, only five booths fully rezzed for me.  Luckly, of the five booths, three of them were the designers I wanted to purchase from.  FYI, there are more gachas at this event than I have seen before. Zenith has a gacha, and the dresses for it are cute and simple. For some reason Xylon Bigbear is on a chiffon kick. Recently a lot of chiffon dresses and skirts have been released from her; FaMESHed, Uber, Season's Story, Shiny Shabby, lots of chiffon. NOT COMPLAINING. I love the look of chiffon. So when I saw the dresses in the gachas, I was able to get lots of dresses in different colors and patterns, and one of the rare sweaters (I got the short sweater with owl bag).  The dresses of course pair really well with the sweater, and you can wear the dresses by themselves (they do look perfect for a luncheon or a brunch).

Outfit: Zenith Tiffany Chiffon Dress and Sweater Short Coat @Season's Story, Shoes: LaRoo Spencer Heels Nude, Bracelet and Necklace: Yummy Pearl & Diamond @Uber, Other bracelet: Noodles Positivity Bangles @FaMESHed, Hair: Olive Snow Princess Tea Stained, Skin: Glam Affiar Sia Skin Fairy Tales Jamaica @Collabor88, Eyes and Eyelashes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural

There are some random items I also purchased at Season's Story, some sweaters, some leg warmers (for slink feet I do not have yet, but plan on getting in the future), a lace skirt, some Ugg-like boots, and a pair of leggings. Again, random items, and I haven't properly paired them with anything yet. They don't really fit the theme of the blog, but still nice. I did get a shirt/fur vest combo from Kitja.  It is my first purchase from this designer. I liked the combo together, I have yet to try the vest or the shirt separate, but I think I will be able to pair these items with other combo's in my inventory. 

I did go to We <3 Role-Play a few days after it opened the week before last.  I did not see much that screamed had to have. There is a hair there I liked by Tableau Vivant, but I thought it would look better on a male avatar than a female. But I am not too into warrior-like hair.  There were not really any outfits or accessories that jumped out at me, but like always, I saw some items that would look great with friends and such. So go ahead and take a look.

Liaison Collaborative, Kustom9, Kawaii Project, Genre opened up this Thursday. I will put up a post with pictures and thoughts most likely next week! As always much love and enjoy your cuppa. Hugs and smooches~
