I went to the current round of Epiphany and I really wanted the Rare dress in the cheezu machine, cheezu. fancy day : lara RARE, but I had to settle for imo second best, the pink common dress and black shoes. Both are still super cute pieces, but the Rare is just so me. 

   I even looked for it on marketplace and it was about 2K which seems excessive. I also had to hit the LODE flower hair wreath machine because she rules flower accessories. My hair is brand new from Magika and super cute as always. Magika hair textures are so realistic looking!

      I am exploring Lavender Lake with a bunch of multi-color hot air balloons regally flying overhead. I made everything pretty using Gogo's (from juicybomb.com) EEP Rainbow settings.

        Oh the 70's! My mom's heyday. She graduated from high school in '72 and college in '76. All of the pictures of my mom as a young woman are really in this era and she had the hair and the clothes going on. The bigger the bell bottoms the better. Collabor88 is going back to the 70's this round and there are some amazing retro items at this event.

        Arcade opened yesterday. This round is amazing! My wish list is so long. I have played a little bit and I got a few of my must haves, but there are still quite a few I did not get and want to continue to play for. Wasabi is there with this piggy tail braid hair with and without the pom pom hat. You need this hair in your winter wardrobe. There are 16 to collect (6 Rares) and they are only 75L per pull. My thigh high boots with fur and fur cuffs are part of the N-core Warm Fur Arcade set. The fur cuffs are one of the two Rare items in the machine. The boots are all common and every pair comes with a texture change HUD to change the fur color (10 color options). There are thigh high (shown) and knee high boots in the machine. There are 20 items to collect (2 Rares) and they are only 75L per pull. Good Luck at the Arcade and May the gacha gods be ever in your favor!

        Collabor88 opened today with the theme, Resort, and that seems to be interpreted as Vintage Resort by the theme submitter and designers because so much of what I saw has a definite vintage flair. Looking at the mood board looks like a 1950's summer getaway. I could not be happier with that because I love vintage looks! FUN! I am wearing the outfit by Just Because and hair by Exile that are both exclusives at the new June collabor88. I paired it with the flip flop flats by Essenz that are at Shiny Shabby. My shoe color is one of the three new Spring/Summer exclusive colors that are in HUD 3, it is a pretty peach color. I thought the bow on the shoes and in my hair were just so cute together! My beach ball pose prop is new by Nantra at the current round of The Liaison Collaborative that opened yesterday.



I tinted the bow in my hair to be the same color as my shoes. This is not a color in the HUD. If you want to do that too:

• 1) Choose the white bow in the texture HUD
• 2) Edit the hair 
• 3) Click edit linked
• 4) Select just the bow
• 5) Go to the texture tab, and tint. 

I love that Kavar lets us do that with his hair!

        I finally got to Arcade June 2017! I usually play on day one every round (cause I am totally gacha addicted), but I went out of town and played other kinds of RL machines at a casino last weekend, lol. So I am just getting back and trying to catch up on all things SL, and getting to Arcade was top of my list. There are so many great things! A new designer this round is Doe and she has two adorable hairs- Faye (shown above) and Maye- available. I am also showing Arcade items from: Birdy, The Horror!, JIAN, #EMPIRE, Astralia, Sway's, HEXtraordinary, ARIA, brocante, and Tres Blah.




        N-Core has been churning out tons of amazing shoes in the last week. There are so many new releases! I am showing you the new Isla Tropical shoes that are at Tropical Summer Fair. I adore the fun summer patterns on these shoes! Stay tuned for more N-core shoes and news including great new deals and gifts in a future post.

     I love Cowl neck sweaters and tops (a neckline on a woman's garment that hangs in draped folds). The draped folds are classic and provide a lot of interest and style to a sweater. Kaithleen's created this long comfy sweater dress with a cowl neck and as I put it on I realized that I did not think I have any cowl neck items in SL. Considering the fact that I pretty much have everything in SL, finding a cute, new to-me neckline is super fun. Now this sweater dress was at Winter Trend, which ended on the 18th but you will be able to find this cute design that is perfect for Winter in the main Kaithleen's store. Winter Trend was just way too short! I like events that last a month as both a shopper and a blogger. It gives me enough time for both. So if like me you missed these at the event, take a trip to the main store and pick one up. You can choose from seven stylish colors and it is only made in fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink Physique, and Hourglass (standard sizes not included).
