When the quad was closed, it was obvious something happened. A post now explains.

Ginny, you will be missed.


Color Me Couture - Hair

As soon as I tried on the review copies I was sent from Color Me Couture, I knew I had to blog them. Why? Because one of them were just so unlike any other hair I've seen in SL. I am talking about the one on the left, Elise. I have never seen a hairstyle like this that completely covers the avatar's eyes. Definitely creative. The texture on this hair is incredible, it has great highlights, shadows, and really rich red tones. Ah - and I can't forget that this hair has tons of my favorite thing: flexi.

The one on the right, Carolyna, is a bit more girly. While this one doesn't have any flexi, it is still very cute. I found this style of hair to go perfect with a sweater. ^_^ And again, the textures on this hair are really great.

What: Elise in Auburn and Carolyna in Brown, $99L each

Nicky Ree's Mara

OMG, when I read that Nicky Ree released this gorgeous pink limited edition Mara gown, I tped over before I could even finish reading the blog post. With one look at the pictures, I had nearly fallen out of my chair with particle hearts emitting out of my eyes. As expected from Nicky Ree, these gowns are spectacular. Detail is amazing, the beads are absolutely adorable, and highlighting is phenomenal.

Nicky Ree's Mara 2

There will be only 100 of these gowns to be sold, and they come at the price of $1500L, which will all go to the SHINE charity. You get 4 prim skirt options, as well as the system skirt. Such a beautiful dress, plenty of options for different occasions, and you support a charity! All awesome reasons to go buy this. When I went there right before posting this, there were still several available. Hurry and get one, they won't last long!

While SecondLife is being wonky, what is there to do? Blog! So - I've had these sitting in my inventory for a while, and now I decided to finally blog them. I visited Savvy Avvy a while ago, and fell in love with all the awesome goodness there. They have such awesome clothing items there, I was shocked I hadn't heard of them before.

I can never resist a cute hoodie. This was just too cute, and I boggled for 10 minutes wondering which color I wanted. Because I couldn't take all of them home with me, I decided on the Baby Pink. I love the shading, highlights and creases in it, they look the closest to realistic I've seen yet - which is awesome. And the pocket - omg. Its just too cute.

savvy-avvy-leather-trench-coat

This is the reason I stopped by there. For this awesome black Leather Trench Coat. It was love at first sight for me. It comes with prim cuffs for your arms, a prim collar, and several options. You can wear it open, closed, or open with the included bra. And the texture on this is incredible. No picture would do it justice. Its just - really awesome. It was super long on me, so I had to edit it a bit to fit the way I like... but it was so worth it. I love this coat to pieces.

What: Leather Trench Coat - $450L (but is $400L on the other side of the shop O.O), Velor Hoody in Baby Pink - $150L

sexy-in-pink-shredded-punk

This skirt is super cute. It came with an outfit - corset, 2 different colored fishnets, glitch pants, and three sizes of skirt. I pictured the corset on the left side of the picture, but it wasn't exactly my style, so I wore a plain black shirt with this, as seen on the right.

This is totally adorable, and I love to wear it around. Pink and black is my favorite color, and punk is my favorite color, so this skirt is total love. I like that it came with 3 sizes of skirt, it definitely made fitting so much easier. ^_^

What: Shredded Punk - $175L

When someone mentioned how awesome TheAbyss is in a fashion group, I wanted to go check it out. So, I did, and I was completely shocked at why I haven't heard of this place before. The first thing I noticed was the build. It was absolutely incredible! If you don't want to shop, you should at least check out the amazing city they have going on there.

Once I finished marveling at the building, I had to go inside and do some shopping... what I do best. O.o I picked up only one hair, though I wish I could have grabbed some more. This hair is adorable, I'm totally in love with it!

theabyss-belt

Browsing around, I also spotted this combat belt I couldn't leave without. This is probably the most amazingly detailed thing I've ever purchased. It has incredible texturing, with shadows, highlights and awesome use of sculpted prims. AND - It fit me without any modifications~ which is a first!

What: Oxygen in Full Moon - $250L, and NAU Combat Belt - $200L

Maya Dresses

I heard that Fantasies, Ink in the new Lame Mall was having a 1 day sale, so I hurried over there. (That was like 2 days ago though, and the sale seems to be still on - perhaps she prolonged it until Monday?) I picked up a fat pack of these adorable Maya dresses, but I only pictured the white version. In the fat pack, you get the following colors: cotton candy, lavender, mint, peaches, sky and white. Also - you get the skirt, glitch pants, sweater, and the stockings~ a total steal at only $50L a piece! I originally went out to find an outfit for the scarf in the second picture, and when I saw this outfit - I knew I had to have it. It looks so cute~ I love the amount of detail on this dress - especially on the buttons. They actually look like buttons! O_o

Fantasies, Ink Skins

I also picked up two skins while this sale was going on. I am a huge fan of hand drawn skins, so these really caught my eye. The one on the left is the Ana Tone in Black, and the one on the right is the Ana tone in Black Bandit. Both of these were on sale for $99L each.

I'm not really sure when this sale ends, so you should really hurry there!
