Oh The Sparkles!

To me nothing is better than putting on something sparkley at New Years.  This year we have something that is dressy, yet casual at the same time and comes in 3 amazing colours!  Plastik has put out another new release! 

For only $99L you can get all 3 colours (Red, Green, and Silver) of Swallow's Flight Tanks

Content Creators Beware: Loyalty DOES Mean something...

Especially in SL clientele loyalty means your longevity in the virtual world.  We are all creatures of habit and if you have an amazing product, then we are more than willing to follow you, support you, give you ideas just so long as we are not taken advantage of.  Case and point: Purrfect 10 Shoes.  



For the last year I have been mulling over spending the HORRENDOUS price of $510L to join their VIP.  Why you ask? Well because I have seen these shoes all over the grid and they are in fact NICE shoes.  But to gouge people right from the start?  Not so much.  Claiming to be gifting their VIP clientele with "new" product, which ends up being re-colored versions of what is already out there. No so much.

So tonight I am sitting with 2 of my favorite ladies as we are madly working on our own projects, one screamed in my ear with a loud "OH HELLLLL NAH"  and this is what she was speaking of....

Purrfect 10 VIP Group Changes
Tuesday, 27 Dec 2011 00:50:39 GMT

We have some exciting changes in store for Purrfect 10 in 2012 which includes reworking our group system and closing our VIP group.  This is not the end of gifts and special events, just a change to how we will be offering them to our valued customers.  More info attached.

Don't miss our special Thank You event for our VIP customers, 50 percent off EVERYTHING until Friday :)

                              **********************



To Our Valued VIP Members,

Thank you to our valued VIP members for supporting the first year of Purrfect 10! We hope you have enjoyed the many VIP gifts, discounts, and specials.  As we head in to 2012 we have decided to rework our group system and will be closing our VIP group.  As a final thank you for your support we will be offering a special 50% discount on ALL OF OUR FULL PRICED ITEMS to our VIP members only until end of day Friday.  Also, our previous VIP gifts from this past year, including our holiday releases are still free for VIP members for the next few days.  Make sure to pick them up before Friday.  After that day our VIP release shoes will be available to everyone for 99 L.

We encourage  you to join our regular Purrfect 10 group (free to join) to hear about our new discounts and special events in the New Year. Find our standard group below.... (you can copy and paste it onto chat and click to join :) )
----------------------------------------

Now, to tell that to your 1000+ VIP members who have spent $510L to join your group to get some not so amazing deals in the end.... SLAP IN THE FACE.  Sorry Purrfect you kinda "put your shoe in your mouth".

Do the math....  $510L x 1000 = $510,000, and I know the group was fast growing to 2000 members.  I am happy to say that I am glad my first instinct paid off in not joining the group.  Because as it stands now, as you will see your customer base who is aleady not happy, will be even more so.

Customer Loyalty is everything.  In SL it is easy to want to make a quick buck, but learn a lesson, greed is not the way to go, and this is just as greedy as they come.  My apologies to all those who love Purrfect 10 shoes, but in my honest opinion ya'll just got hosed.

Happy Boxing Day!

If your Holiday season has been anything like mine, the last thing you want to do it go shopping on Boxing day.  Retail sucks this time of year, and I'm speaking as a consumer and as a person who works retail IRL.  Just sucky all around.

However, what does not bite me in the butt is tossing on some of the most comfy clothes I have in my inventory and spending the day just lounging around in my very own personal Christmas Present.


Yay and a sigh of relief is what I feel now that the season is over.  So I get some of my trusty clothes and rock them like only I know how....  Amerie and their lovely black fur textured hoodie, Admiral Spicy with their off the hip jeans, my trusty Baxies, and of course it would not be complete without an uber cute off to the side pony from Magika.



2012 is fast approaching and I for one and making a couple of promises to myself this year.  I refuse to call them resolutions as I will just end up getting discouraged, but if they are promises I am sure that I will have no problem making them come true.

This will probably be my last post of 2011.  It has been a wonderful year.  Full of tears, joys, sorrows, laughter, and support.  I like many, have learned a few lessons, some, in the hard way.  I have seen relationships tested, friendships made and broken.  Trust given and taken away.  I think 2011 was definatly a year that "most" of us woke up and opened our eyes to things surrounding us.  It has been an amazing journey in self-discovery, one with many experiences I will hold true to my heart, even if some were bad.  This year, opened my eyes to many things I have been blinded to in the past.  2012 is a new chapter.  One I am very much looking forward to see.


So to you and yours, Peace, Love, Success and happiness in the New Year.  We made it!  We rocked it, and hell we made it LOOK Good!

Oh My Booooootay!

When I got the notice that Plastik was back with a NEW release I almost jizzed myself.  No seriously, I almost did.  I love love love love Plastik, and all Aikea’s original and “out of the box” texturing, patterns, ideas etc.  So it was no surprise to me that she took the plunge into mesh.

Now I have been a bit hesitant to try mesh, because of a bunch of reasons… Sizing, look, ability to modify to your shape and the list goes on and on.  Not to mention, you look really weird to all those SL users who have yet to upgrade to a mesh enabled viewer, but I digress.

This morning, MESH PANTS from Plastik!!!!!!   And I must say, it’s screaming booty werk!  I have not stared at my ass for this long since I gave my avi a lil junk in the truck a year ago.

Here are some things that I do like about the mesh…. It looks smooth, clean, crisp.  It bends nicely with your avatar when you move.  The movements are fluid with your avi, and it is just better than to have to wear a pant layer and add prim cuffs all the time.

So try them out, try them from Plastik, I promise you will NOT be disappointed!  Oh and please note, that unless they are patterned related, all new releases from Plastik will be in colour packs!

The crew over at Stars Fashions is at it again.  Today we see the new PROMO Release of “Curiosity” and this ENTIRE outfit can be yours for just $99L!  I know, I sound like one of those infomercial goofballs…. *hey can I slap your nuts o.O* 

This cute little dress comes with a great brown leather coat, and some pretty damn snazzy shearling boots.  The belt adds the finishing touch to this lovely ensemble, and I have to say, this might be my favourite outfit from them yet. 

Keep up the great work guys!

Feeling Pretty in Vintage Vassnia

Wow...it's been a while! Hi there! I've been so busy with work and school (made Dean's List babehhhhh YEAH!!) that I haven't had as much time to devote to blogging and dressing up as I would like.  But for this dress, I drooled.  I droooooooooooooooooled.  In part because it was gorgeous, but also because not much had caught my eye to inspire me to try something different of late. Presenting Vassnia's Steampunk Sephia:

click to enlarge

See...I have never really been one for period pieces, but when I saw this dress...I couldn't resist.  It...called to me..."Kilooooooooooooo...weaaaaaaaaaaar me!! Shoooooot me!!!" and BAM ideas sparked!

What I love love LOVE about this dress is the details (deeeeeeeeetails).  The intricate attention to the layering of the bustle and skirt of this dress. The train...OMG the train!!  I swear I felt like an aristocrat. Then a couple of friends who saw me in it thought I was going to a wedding (HA!). That did make me giggle.  Anyway...back to the dress! The added emphasis it seems to have on the back of the corset  including the slightly undone bottom of it at the small of the back; it's like this thing KNEW my big butt was gonna wear it and said "GIVE THAT BACKSIIIIIDE SOME ROOM!"  For me, that slight detail added a little spice to such a lady-like design and made me go *RAWR*! 

click to enlarge
Even the collar while, when close up you can see all of the primwork, looks so wonderfully textured and you can tell a lot of time was taken to make this piece.  I love the lace in the center of the collar (seen above ). It's incredibly delicate and the look overall is VERY classy.  Add that it comes with its own shoes (not shown) and all you really have to worry about is accessories and hair! And that's actually what took me so long to shoot this thing!  I had two very specific additions I felt I could wear this without: the perfect hair style to offset the veil and a parasol.  Why a parasol? WHY NOT?? I felt like a Lady, an Aristocrat and I'm almost positive that in the time that this dress would have been worn IRL...the lady wouldn't be caught dead without one.

So after a good month of searching updos, I finally saw this beauty in a blog and lo and behold: the hair was on sale! I couldn't find my tp fast enough!  And the parasol, I lucked out and stumbled upon it on the marketplace! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!  With everything assembled, I found the perfect spot at home and shot away.  Thank you Vassnia for such a wonderful dress!!  I have never felt prettier!

Much love and see y'all soon :)

I *HEART* $50L Fridays & League!

Some of my favourite designers of all time love to take part of events such as $50L Fridays, Lazy Sundays, Themory, Colab88 and more…  League is no exception.  Over the years I have become quite the avid fan of Nena Janus.  Her creations are unique, well thought out, and executed with the greatest care to texturing, price, and fashion forward thinking.

Today for $50L Friday she has released the cutest dress!  Just in time for the winter months, a short suede wrap dress is what is on the docket.  Available in black or brown just inside the doors at League’s Mainstore is where you will find it. 

I had to do very little in terms of adjustments with the prims.  The arm cuffs provided a bit of a pain, but I blame that on my lack of caffeine not on the creator.  Call it user error *winks*

While there I noticed a poster for League taking part in the Zombiepopcorn Dark Winter Magic event.  There is a GREAT winter coat available at the store, and just a reminder…. PLEASE DE-PRIM to keep lag to a minimum, this way we can all enjoy some lag free shopping *smiles*

Kickin' it Back



Inspiration comes from everywhere. Past. Present. Future....


At some point you will be inspired to do something. Today's example, I'm inspired to do a floral arrangement for my fireplace mantle to decorate for the approaching holidays. But you don't really care about my florals. In fact, I'd be surprised if you actually read this stuff and didn't just flip through the pictures and look at the details at the bottom. At least, that's what a friend said people do...


I've also been inspired by a song today... to do this blog. I'll be honest, I've been less than inspired lately with Secondlife fashion choices. But once in a while, something bites and says "This is pretty cool, I should share this"... And so we have this retro inspired look.



Nothin' like a pair of combat boots to gussy up an outfit! Teamed with some wool/skull stockings and matching arm length gloves. Some finger tapes from and a REALLY short leather dress .. it's a VERY simple outfit, the "conversation" piece as it were, is the Artilleri Trixie hair/headscarf... without it... it'd be just another hoochie look. I dunno, Somethin' a little "don't #!^! with me" about this outfit... maybe it's me... Pair it with a killer Leather jacket from grasp and you've got a complete look!! (not shown)



I found the cutest little retro drive in, unfortunately I forgot to landmark it and now I can't find it again :( but here we are. if you can find it, please comment and leave the slurl!!

Santa, Every Woman Needs This…

If any of you hard-core shoppers are like me, you are on every subscribo imaginable.  Until recently I was loving getting all the notices and news first before the masses, but it just became too much of a pain to keep track of, too many messages being capped, and just general “OMGAH I am on too many of these*  Plus – Let’s face it, some of them are complete crap.  So off I went into the grid to start the removal process. 

There are some subscribos/groups that make it COMPLETELY WORTH staying on.  Case and point – Blacklace!  I have been a long time fan of Mariska and her work (we are talking years here, I should seriously take stock in Blacklace), and just recently a lil NC passed me by from the subscribo.  There was a TOSL release, and if you love it as much as I do, you will stampede like the crazy asses on Black Friday to get it.

For only $99L you too can own “Stunning” – a gorgeously textured lace black corset by Vollers.

Now before you run off to get your shopping on, Blacklace and Alphamale has recently undergone a makeover, its amazing, but if you haven’t been there it’s easy to get lost.  The folks at Blacklace have put a nifty teleporter thingy at the TP point.  My suggestion – USE IT.  To get to the TOSL just find the location for “TOSL and HUNTS” and off ya go.  Easy peasy  *grins*

Thankful For Warm Snugglies ♥

I was not planning on doing a blog so soon, but as the night went on, everything just lined into place where I couldn’t NOT do one.  Even though I am Canadian (and have already celebrated Thanksgiving), I still enjoy participating when my family in the U.S. has the Holiday in November. 

This post is dedicated to the woman who, well…. Let’s be honest, kept me sane when my BF was away most the summer.  If it was not for her, I would have lost my mind – through he laughs, and the tears, and the hours of me being emo, this woman never batted an eyelash.  She just sat there quietly and held my hand.  Always reminding me that she was in charge of me while her brother was away.     I am so very thankful to have a friend like her in my life.  She is irreplaceable, and although our meeting in SL was what one would say “unconventional” the last couple years have been wonderful getting to know her.  She’s ma croissant, and I am her chalupa, and that is all *grins*

Sooooo my croissant was searching the MP today and came across the cutest hat, we both squeeeeeeeeeeeeed like little girls in skype and when I found out that it was from Severed Garden, I said “ROAD TRIP”.  So we land, and wait for the sim to rez and she finds the hat ASAP.  Seriously, the best $160L spent ever on the cutest winter hat I have ever seen!  At the same location are outfits that are a perfect match to the hat hair, and at $290L for EVERYTHING (dress, jacket, scarf, earmuffs, boots, cuffs, everthang!) it’s a steal! 

We quickly got dressed and remarked on how cute we looked, and we do look CUTE!  This is most definatly an outfit I will be wearing out this season!

Walking In A Winter Wonderland…

Winter is upon us, and what better way to feel warm and cozy than to find some great fashion finds on the Marketplace.  If you are like me you troll that site like it’s going out of style looking for the next best thing.  Considering most SL Stores are now finding their way to the online purchase spot, the need to deal with sim lag, slowly rezzing stores, and newbs who refuse to leave from the landing points (rant for another day…lol), this is how I have been shopping as of late. 

Today I bring you a cute little number from the folks of Beautiful, Dirty, Rich.  Now I am not normally a fan of those who mass produce clothing for a multitude of reasons, but when I saw this outfit I HAD to grab it, and for $99L I think I made one of my best purchases to date for “Winter” themed clothing.

Baby It’s Cold Outside is the new winter promo just released from the crew at BDR, which can be purchased in a myriad of colours AND a fatpack.  I decided to nab the one in blue, and I was so happily surprised with the texturing, and the pairing of the cutest little Uggs.  You can wear the jacket with or without the skirt attachment.  If you choose to wear the skirt, they have included a nice alpha layer that will shrink those hips so they don’t poke through the sides, taking away the need to fiddle with sizing the skirt prim to fit your body.  The only thing I would have liked is if the skirt had a bit of “give” to it, a bit of flexi, just a hint, and it would be all around perfect.  Still at the end of the day, you cannot go wrong with this outfit at all.  So get bundled up, find yourself a gorgeous winter sim and frolic the winter blues away looking good!

It's All About the Kalnins (Shoes) ... and Pink :P

I have to admit, when I first got these puppies for review, I wasn't feeling the new Lynette Sandals from Kalnins.  They were a bit different in that the bottom of the foot pad in the back is such a blunt square and a sharp contrast to the curvy structure of the shoe.  This threw me off so much so that I was gonna chuck the damn things.  Then...I saw Maris Kanto's (creator of the shoe) ads for this marvelous sandal and saw color after color of beauty and fell in love.

click to enlarge

Meet Kalnin's newest pretty: The Lynette Sandal.  Stylable in 10 primary colors with 3 places to select color, the possibilities are endless with this amazing shoe.  Aaaand the toe polish colors are even pretty!! Some of my friends say that Kalnin's has sausage toes for the toes. But you know what? I'm okay with that when the shoes look THIS good!  Every detail of this shoe = YUM. And the best part: if you have a difficult skin color to match with this shoe, but know your RGB codes, you simply type in /76 RGB r/g/b and hit enter and voila, your skin color will match perfectly so long as you type in the right numbers. On top of that, they have wonderful presets and sliders on the off chance you don't know that info and would rather muck around til you have the right combo. Talk about an easy to use HUD!

Now...love this shoe as much as I do, I actually had some trouble styling an outfit around it in order to work the SHOE.  So....as I was flipping through color combinations, I was listening to Aerosmith and it hit me..."that's the color!!"  So...off to assemble I went!

click to enlarge


I immediately started with hair.  Why? Well...it's your topper of sorts...your shoes your bottom and you are the filling in the sandwich of hair and feet :D  Grabbing my trust Dura hair, the looks were finally coming together.  Next, I paired it with Bitch Tail's "No More" ensemble (1st piccie). It was just the kick of pink without being Pepto look I was going for! While the outfit comes with its own shoes, I was not taking these puppies off...they paired so nicely together!  Next, unable to try to find more things to wear this with, I remembered I had a jumpsuit with a pink butterfly from Earth and Sky (look #2) and voila!! Off to shoot I went. Cranking the following vid in the background, I simply couldn't stop lovng my new pressie and had so much fun I think I played it about 5 times before I stopped! LOL



I've since tried other color combos, mimicking the ads and just putting my own spin on these puppies.  So what started as an "eh" relationship with the new Kalnins has turned into "What fun can I have styling around my shoe??"  Wonderful job, Maris and team!!

AND THE PARTY HAS STARTED!!!!!!!!!  JOIN US NOW!!!!!

 

2Cute4You

I'm sure you're all inundated with enough "Sexy *insert theme here*" Costumes so, I've decided to be anti-costume on this Samhain day blog. For me, this holiday is about paying homage to our ancestors, saying good bye to the plants as we pass into our darkest time of the year, when things aren't lively, unless of course you live in the south - doesn't really freeze down there. LOL At any rate, Much like most of the other holidays, most folks have lost sight of the purpose and history behind "Halloween" -



So, Onto the blog. Like any other day I ventured forth in search of shopping yayness, My feature store today has a very stable voice. Unlike many stores where you walk in and they've got a variety of styles and no real stand out theme, ::alterego:: has definitely found their sound. When you walk into that store, you know exactly what style clothing you will be shopping for. There's no mistaking an item that has come from ::alterego:: and while a store featuring items of a similar style sounds a bit boring, it's quite the opposite ~ It's very "designer". Think about it, a designers runway show all has a similar pattern/theme look... and so does ::alterego:: so if you're lookin' for a casual/kick ass style definitely take a moment to check this store out!!!

Aikea has outdone herself yet again with some amazing skins just in time for Halloween!  They are so beautifully detailed, and each holds it’s own uniqueness that just requires your special touch to make your Spooky night in SL that much more frightening, and fabulous *winks*

I figured I would tell you that you can get these amazing skins, individually or in fatpacks at the landing point of Plastik : http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Beautiful%20Machine/82/150/65

And let the beauty that is the New Plastik Halloween Skins speak for themselves.

One month per year is simply not often enough to recognize such a deadly killer.  I could lob this post down with a million statistics and it wouldn't change they key message that matters: GET TESTED.

I mean c'mon folks.  It's simply not that difficult. Grope a tit/chesticle/Moob/whatever you want to call it and do it in the name of health.  The people listed above are REAL people.  Some are famous; others not so much. Yes, half the names on the list...are men.

Breast cancer affects people at different age levels and ethnicities suffer from this non-prejudiced killer. So do yourself and your loved ones a favor.  Get tested.

So, I'm tendin' to my Meeroos the other day, just mindin' my own business, when I get a notice that Alexandra Nichols has dropped somethin' on me...


And that's when shit hit the fan. No seriously! I squeaked, opened that box as fast as I could, cursed SL for it's lagginess, cursed the fact it wouldn't freaking load the contents, and cursed some more at the fact I was cursin' like a sailor... Maybe I need anger management...


AAAAnyway... So I opened the box, ripped those pearls outa there, gawds how I LOVE the pearls!! I can't get enough of a good set of pearls. Something about their classic elegance... Just wow...

And these babies are totally classic. Whether you're into Steam punk, Antique, or just really want a pretty set of pearls to pair with your wedding gown or gown in general, THIS IS THE SET FOR YOU. The matching earrings are just perfection too. Don't believe me? See for yourself!!! Head on over to Dahlink's and enjoy the splendidness of the pearls all your own... is that a word? It is now!!!


One love. ~ Rose

Lovesick...A Twofer of sorts!

Usually, I hate anything to do with the term "Lovesick...".  It denotes a sickness from something that is supposed to be amazing; well if you take it literally that is.  So when I saw the name of this new gown from Vassnia, I was a bit skeptical to actually have a look at it.  What I saw when I opened the NC however made me have a whole new appreciation for the term that attracts so much attention.  Presenting Vassnia's "Lovesick Darkness"

Photography by Sin Lorefield for Pixel Perfect Photography

When I saw the top of the outfit, my eye immediately focused on the bust line. It's simple and delicate, but very alluring.  The sheer fabric pulls the eye to it immediately and the half key-hole at the top makes you want to slip things inside just to dive in and dig them out (LMAO). When I saw the top I actually didn't think I could pull the look off since I don't have a cleavage enhanced skin (and no way do I want one LOL).

I love the layering of the lace and how it fits to the leg, but couldn't figure out the best way to pose in this gown as the skirt prim piece isn't really conducive to AO's let alone fidgety ones.  The skirt prim tends to lean to the side on the right leg when one moves or dances.  So this is definitely not a go bungy jumping on a date and break dance sort of skirt.

That being said, I really do love the look. And the minute I slipped it on I knew this dress was meant for me.  It hugs the body, creates a line of vision that shows off all of your assets while keeping you covered and has jut enough tulle on the skirt to make people stare as you saunter by.

Now back to this leg...a funny accident occurred while shooting.  As I was flipped and turned by my trusted photographer and friend, I noticed that the outfit actually looks good without the skirt prim! It makes for a bit of a haute couture feel pantsuit and yes, my darlings...it makes you want to STRUT.  The only thing you need to look out for is the body suit. If you look closely at the pelvic area, the part that covers your treasured area is part of the skirt prim. So when you take it off and rock it as a pantsuit, please put on a thong or all of your cash and prizes (Dane Cook reference like woaaaaaaaah!) will be revealed! O.O

Oh My *S* Stars!

How happy was I to log in the other day and have a delivery of the newest release from Stars!  OH SO VERY!  This outfit is too sexy to not wanna show it off to the world.  Stars has also hooked us up, and has this gem on the MP for $99 Promo, so if you like it you have to run and get it…. like NOW!

This package includes skirt, pant, black top, white jacket, sleeves, collar, belt only and belt with sculpted lower jacket . Prim and sculpts are modifiable.  I have not worn some of the pieces just because I think for me it looks better this way.  I am a less is more kinda gal, and this combination just seemed to work for me best.  Pairing it with some hot Maitreya’s and we are off to the races.

Plastik–Nomad

It’s been a while since I have featured something from the amazing creative mind of Aikea Reiko of Plastik, so when I came across this lil gem, I had to find a way to work it into my blog re-routine.

For both Men and Women, Plastik has come out with a gorgeous new skin called “Nomad”.  The details of this skin are what you would expect from her work, and it goes above and beyond that.  The markings on the skin are very unique, beautiful and so well placed, for both sexes.  The skin features a wonderful tribal like design on the back and front, details on the face and some along the front hip area too.  Its just such a wonderful skin that these pictures do not do them any justice at all.  Last I checked you could go and get each for $499L there about at the landing point of the main store.  So head on over and pick yourself up a skin that is so amazingly awesome I really think she should be charging more for. 

Oh So Devilish!

Who doesn't want to show off just how sexy they can be sometimes?   Getting into that perfect lil dress, strutting around, going out, having a lil dance.  No I am not talking about hoochie wear.  I am talking about dressing sexy and still having class at the same time!  Seems like some days that is harder than others in SL, but I digress.

Over the last few weeks I was introduced to a lovely lady named Dev Damone.  I also came to find out that she makes and sells her creations in world at her store “Devilish Designs” so yesterday I decided to take a peek.

The store is lovely, it took me a moment to rez, but I am convinced that it is completely an SL issue, I mean what is with their asset servers lately?!  I walked in to a nicely lit store, very well laid out, and spacious.  Nothing that is over the top of gaudy that makes you wanta turn and run for the hills.  Each outfit is clearly displayed, and the vendor photos are large enough that you can actually see what it will look like.  As an aside, one of my biooger pet peeves as a blogger is going to a store and you cannot really decipher what the outfit will look like once before you purchase cause its been photoshopped to smithereens and the picture is too small.  Well you won’t find that here!  The outfit I purchased was just how it looked on the vendor sign!  YAY!

I was immediately lured by this hot little dress called “Rock Me”, let me tell ya, these days I base my purchases on if they scream my name, and this one surely did!  I picked it up in red and was floored when I saw the purchase was only $150L.   Yes the zipper TOTALLY called me! *grins*

LADIES, You can look sexy and not spend an assload of linden if you just step out of your box and shop and some great stores!  You HAVE to add Devilish Designs to that list!  Devil will make sure that you are looking sexy for half the cost than what you would spend on one of those cookie cutter sims.  Yes I call it cookie cutter because everyone ends up looking the same when they shop at the same places all the time.

So GET OUT OF THAT BOX!  Come support a wonderful content creator who has been on the grid and has cemented herself in SL with a wonderful clothing line that won’t break your bank account!
