A Little Fan GurL Time

There are a lot of things that I adore in Second Life. I am a huge fan of accessories in particular. I love bracelets all the way up my arms, I love bags, and heck, do I ever love my shoes. So this look is a great opportunity to go all Fan GurL on some of the best and brightest stars on the Grid in the accessories department.  Lindsey Warwick is quickly becoming one of the best and most dedicated shoe makers around, always impeccably textured, her shoes under the [L.Warwick] brand are simply foot candy. Her newest release is perhaos her best so far, available exclusively now at the My Slink Obsession Event, the [L.Warwick] Cordelia Platform Heels come with three strap variations, all at one incredible teeny tiny price. 

ISON by Harry Hyx is another total winner winner chicken dinner creator in my book. This newest ISON Summer Striped Net Bag is an example of a genius creation. It has specially crafted handles that fit perfectly in my Slink Avatar Enhancement Hands, the bag is also slightly curved away from the leg, so it photographs and wears beautifully without cutting into my Avatar. It also has those little details that make it superbly well crafted, textured stitches and details, sheer panels, and best of all, heaps of practical goodies inside the bag for the most realistic look. Get your own in a variety of color options exclusively at the new Uber Event.

Getting back to bangles, my personal favorite must-have jewelry item in Second Life, there is no one like Zaara Kohime to make my arms jingle jangle jingle with joy. Back when Summerfest 2014 was all the rage, I snapped up these absolutely luxe Indra Bangle Stacks from {Zaara Couture}. There is so much detail, so much color, and both gold and silver versions in the set, I couldn't live without them. I treasure all my Zaara jewelry, and have been collecting it for almost 7 years. Just try to pry it out of my pretty little mesh hands, I dare you. OK, Fan GurL session over for today, I need to go fan myself off, I am feeling hawt!

Wild Kingdom

One thing has become abundantly clear to me since my return to Second Life many months ago. I am a sucker for Gacha anything. It would be sad if it wasn't for all the wonderful items I am now happily hording in my inventory. Today, I took a visit to a new event, the Wild Things Summer Gacha Event. Oh there is so much wonderful at this event, I can hardly handle it. Too much to show off in one post, so to start, here is my adorable new friend from FRESH, the Pogi.  Isn't it just "Squee" worthy! While he surfed the trees and came back to my arms, I got a chance to play with another great item from the event, this sweet Anachron (Redux!) Wild Thing Gacha Phone. It's a little different from most phones I have, as it has a heap of cute built in animations, and all you have to do is wear it and click away. 

In this "I work at the local Zoo" look, I am also showing off a new favorite wig from TRUTH HAIR, one of the most recent releases called Xantheanne.  Look closely, because I am giving you an awesome sneak peak of one of the most amazing necklaces, coming soon, to the Tales of Fantasy Event on August 10th/2014. The [Fetch] Birna Necklace is a stunning huge wooden and metal statement necklace, perfect for both high fashion and role-play, or in a Safari Chic look, like this one. I will show it off again when the event rolls around, for now you can just drool and mark your calendars.

Genre - Baroque Down Palace

This may be your one and only chance to see most (if not all) of my skin. I am notoriously modest with my avatar, at least in public, but this stunning Sarah pearl harness from [deviousMind] got me to strip down and roll around on my equally fabulous Kalopsia - Le Lit de la Marquise Bed. In fact, everything I am wearing - admittedly not much - from Hair by Bliensen + MaiTai to shoes by Frogstar are available at the Genre event. Genre is still going strong, and you can scoop up oodles of remarkably naughty and wonderful Baroque and Rococo inspired items for a steal, all priced at less than $100L. It's a limited time monthly event, and there is something for everyone.  With Hair, Skin, Clothing, Shoes, Accessories, Poses, Decor, and Furniture, you will want to make Genre the first stop in your weekend shopping trip. I am feeling appropriately decadent in this stunning bed, pity I am all alone. You, however, can catch a few more sexy shots on my flickr stream.

Hair Fair - Fun With Freddy The Fish

When I was a little girl, my father would name all the animals we found in an alliterative way. We had Henry the Hamster, Ferdinand the Frog, and a lot of Willy the Worms after it rained outside. While visiting the Okinawa Summer Festival 2014, I picked up a new friend. Meet Freddy the Fish, yes, he is the little on in the bag in my avatar's left hand. When I finally got around to visiting The Season's Story, and saw this adorable little summer dress from ::{u.f.o}::, I knew it was meant to be.  So here is my fishy dress and my little friend Freddy, and we are out for a walk in the sun.  I had to show you all the cutest hair from Rosy Mood at Hair Fair 2014. This style, called Kinako, made me think of the 70s, and spending time with my twin sister out in the sun. I included a picture of the two of us, in our actual double pony tails playing with wild daisies, below - so you can see the similarities. I visited with my sister today, known to most of you as Anessa Stine of 'On Your Toes', DCNY, and Girl Thursday. She is still in hospital but doing so much better, and I miss her like crazy. We giggled like idiots over the most mundane everyday hospital happenings, we can have each other in stitches (not literally this time) in seconds. It is good to laugh with her again, I hope she can come home and back to all of us in Second Life soon.

Hair Fair - When Hair Becomes Art

Most of us choose our hair for everyday wear, something cute or sexy that can be worn with a variety of looks.  But there are some content creators that push the envelope and design hair that is so particular, so unique, it becomes a work of art and is meant for costume or high fashion styling. The offerings at Hair Fair 2014 from [sYs] are very much in that latter group. This stunning HANAYO style evokes a dance with fans, it is sleek and eye-catching, and has HUD customization touches, both the fans and the flowers, that make it perfect for photographs. I may not gravitate towards this kind of "Art Hair" very often, but given the chance, it sure is fun to play with. Make sure you hit up [sYs] at Hair Fair 2014 so that you can check out some wild styles and create your own fantastic looks.

Hair Fair - Alien Reign

Sometimes, you just find a wig that makes you feel so Glam, you imagine yourself in the middle of a high fashion photo shoot for one of those glossy magazines full of expensive couture and ethereal young Hollywood starlets. Vanity Hair is one of those wig makers that always gives me that edgy and oh so editorial look. Even though I can't walk a straight line in Second Life, I can finally imagine myself a model. This new Hair Fair 2014 Exclusive style from Vanity Hair called Alien, is the perfect look for a high fashion romp about town.  I threw on some fabulous threads from {Indyra} and headed out in the most amazing pair of strappy shoes to come my way in a long time. These *REIGN  SABETH HEELS are exclusively available at the new event, N-Twenty1, and will only be sold there while the event lasts, then disappear forever. Get your high class ass out there are grab some 'fash' for yourself!

FFL - Beach, Blonde, Beer, & Boho

I love a summer dress that is easy and a lot Bohemian in style, and this FFL offering from ~Sassy!~ is precisely what I was looking for. it goes perfectly with this pair of FFL Exclusive Essenz Tampa Sandals for Slink Flat Feet, and a whole lot of beads. The necklaces and bracelets are from the magnificent [Maxi Gossamer], of course, and this bag had been screaming at me for months from my inventory, looking for a reason to come out and be seen. The bag, with pony bead accents, is from a Gacha Machine by MOON}. A bottle of 'Verona' beer from (epia) at the brand new round of The Arcade Gacha Event is all the refreshment I need, so I take my newly blonde self to the /artilleri/ beach for a little sun. 

Below you will find all the shopping details, including the teleport to mainstore locations. To get a TAXI directly to the store at the Fashion For Life event, click on the Fashion For Life link after the item name/description so those lindens can really add up as donations to Relay For Life of Second Life.
