SHOP THE SALE

It is a long wavy style with all the hair pushed in front of the left shoulder. There are 21 items to collect in this gacha machine, 20 commons and 1 Rare. Find it at the next round of The Arcade!

        I am also wearing a new Kaithleen's dress, Kunglers necklace, and Essenz shoes today. My Kaithleen's dress is new at Whimsical. I love the open sleeves of this tunic dress. You can find it for the Maitreya body in 8 color options at Whimsical. My Kunglers necklace is new at Cosmopolitan. There is about a week left of this round of the event. This Vilma necklace is available in 5 unique stone/pearl/metal combinations.

I am wearing Sand in Fatpack 2.  

       Blueberry released this party dress recently and it comes in 4 iridescent texture options. I love iridescent! I paired it with some Schadenfreude rave stomping iridescent boots and headed to the club! If you are looking for something to party in this weekend, this is the perfect little club dress. 

        I have had the busiest week in RL. It is the end of the school year and I am a teacher. I was so busy with both work and my own family's end of the school year activities, I barely had time to sleep. I do have a ton of new goodies that I am wearing today: enVOGUE hair, Cae jewelry set, and Essenz shoes. 

        My Essenz simple summer sandals with a little bit of a strappy ankle design are at Enchantment. Enchantment ends May 31st so make sure to stop by and get your summer sandals. My Cae jewelry set is cute little simple flowers. The jewel is texture change via HUD and there is a necklace, earrings, bracelets, and rings (fitted for mesh hands) available at Cosmopolitan. This round ends June 4th. Finally my enVOGUE braid is new in the main store. I love this simple middle part, light wispy, loose braid style. This is perfect for summer!

        Just Because is at Mesh Body Addicts with this sexy top and skirt. The Katie skirt and Felicia top are sold separately in 14 colors and made in fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink (all), and Belleza (all). The panties and string belt are both texture change via HUD. 

        My 7 Deadly s[K]ins, Dawn skin is also new at MBA. I have not really tried this skin brand in a while and the skin tones seem different to me. I like the new tones a lot better than what I remembered in the past. I am wearing Caramel. So if you have not tried 7 Deadly Skins in a while, definitely go get a demo and see what you think. This skin is really pretty, although I would ideally want light eyebrows for myself and every day wear. 

        Dawn only comes with dark eyebrows, so I have paired it with the Magika hair I got in my May Luxe Box. This is one of the three additional colors that was added as an update after consumers gave some feedback to the designers. A few Luxe Box designers improved on their initial items (even though they were already amazing) and sent out updated products with even more features after listening to their customers!

        I found a texture design artist on flick that I really like- Kerstin Frank. She has a whole lot of free to use as long as you credit, high resolution textures in her stream.

        I can tell the word "May" is in this designers name because she is having a fabulous month! Apple May Designs is at collabor88 with this sexy bikini. I love the underbust lace details and the double strand hip bottoms. You can find it at collabor88 in 4 color options and fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink (all), and Belleza (all). Also they released these foot jewels for Slink Medium feet. Light and Dark versions are available and they both have 3 stone/jewel and two metal color texture change via HUD options. These were released yesterday at Shiny Shabby. Have a great May with Apple May! 

         What is a Bluety, you say? A blueberry booty, of course. Blueberry released these amazing ripped jeans yesterday and actually they come with two booty versions. When I first put each version on, I was looking at it from the side and I did not see any difference. Then I looked straight on from the back and definitely saw the change. It is not like you have to decide because you get BOTH booty versions, but the blueberry booty is a bit tighter so it looks like the jeans hug every part of your "assets" and the cutie booty is a bit more round and slightly poked out in the back. Blue shared this gyazo to help show us the difference, blueberry booty on the right and cutie booty on the left:

       I think I like the booty on the right best, Blueberry Booty. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

      My top is also by Blueberry. I got it in the May Luxe Box. If you missed this month's round, you can still get your hands on this fatpack top (with iridescent colors included!). You can sign up for Luxe Box next month (pay group join fee), then you can go to the in world Luxe Box Boutique and buy the May box that you missed. It really was a tremendous deal with amazing items inside! Worth way more than the 1K sticker price!

        I am also wearing new hair by Doe. This high side ponytail is fitted mesh so it goes around your shoulder and moves really well as you move. You can find it at Whimsical. My earrings are new by Kunglers and will be released at Shiny Shabby tomorrow. They come in five gem combinations. I paired them with another Kunglers necklace, Natalie, that you can find at the main store. My Essenz shoes, Buenos Aires, are available at The Chapter Four for only 99L for each color (12 colors available). Finally my Nantra "Walk of Shame" poses come with an entire bus stop, cell phone, and shoe props as well as 6 poses and their mirrors. Find this pose set at The Thrift Shop 13.

         League does not make jewelry often, but when they do- wow. This set is stunning and I love it. I wanted to take a picture of this and some new Doe hair. Doe has released a few new styles recently. This long ponytail was just released at Enchantment. It is fitmesh and the ponytail is long enough that that kinda matters because it will go around your bottom. I played with my butt slider and watched my ponytail move with it- I thought that was kinda cool. 

        Neve just released some cute dresses. This is the Zooey dress shown here in the Neutral HUD. You can change the top and sweater textures independently of each other. You can also turn the skirt off to make this just a tank top as well. Find this dress in four texture packs, each with four textures included via HUD at the main Neve store.

            The first Luxe Box came today and I personally could not be happier with my items. When you join a subscription box (in SL or RL) make sure you know the brands that are participating and that your style and needs (type of mesh body for example) match up with them. I personally adore seven out of twelve of my items and I like the other five a lot. I think that is pretty great for a secret subscriber box. The fun for me was in not knowing what I would be getting and then opening ALL THE THINGS. I have five of the twelve items in my picture above (Tres Blah, Magika, Mish Mish, Scarlet Creative, tarte). I really do truly like all twelve things that I got. I think the quality is exceptional and that the designers all brought their A game. You can see them all in my plurk, HERE with normal windlights. 

         If you do not own the Maitreya Lara body, then this might not be the event for you. However, the participating designers (especially erratic) are known for favoring that body and two of the designs did come made only for Maitreya. It is one of my favorite bodies, so I am happy. I feel like I made out like a bandit. There was a lot of complaining in various groups today and I really don't understand it at all. The only advice I have is make sure you know ALL of the designers, their styles and bodies they create for before you subscribe. We were told who the participating designers were going to be (so the Maitreya only designs should not have been a surprise). The Blueberry fatpack top (which is normally 1299L) was worth the subscription alone, plus I got eleven other great things!

        If you missed this round and now that you are seeing all the things and want them, you have a chance to purchase the box next month. You have to sign up for the June box (so pay the entry fee next month), then you can go to the in world Luxe Box Boutique (starting June 1st) and buy the May round box that you missed (with your Luxe Box group tag on). I am not sure if it will be the same introductory 1000L price or higher. I suspect higher because this was truly a steal of a deal. Find out more on the official Luxe Box website.

        Kaithleen's is at Mesh Body Addicts with this original mesh Vintage Pleated dress. It is made in fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh bodies and is available in eight colors or a convenient HUD controlled fatpack. I paired it with some turquoise accents. I have always loved brown and turquoise together. 

        Moon Elixir is at Mesh Body Addicts with these super slick latex outfits. The lingerie, gloves, and boots are sold separately and they are available in 8 colors or you can get very discounted fatpacks as well. These are made for Maitreya and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies and they fit perfectly. I am really in love with the boots and am sure I will wear them with other things. I am having buyers remorse and wish I had fatpacked them now. They are 50% off if you get the fatpack and it is HUD controlled so you don't have a bunch of items in your inventory either. I love fatpacks like that.  

        I am also wearing a new Kunglers necklace, Cida. I love the big chunky stones in this necklace. Find it in 5 texture variations at the new round of On9. 

        It is time for another fabulous round of Mesh Body Addicts! On my Slink Physique I am wearing two new items that will be released May 10th for this round of MBA. My insanya tiny front tied top and Sorbet scalloped shorts are both new original fitmesh items exclusively for the event. Sorbet is a new-to-me store but the fabulous blogger Xanthe of Xantheanne's 2nd life is behind the brand and I know she knows her fashion! I am a big fan of her blog, windlights, and thankful for her many tutorials so it is cool to me to blog her items! Find these shorts at MBA in fitmesh for Slink physique and hourglass as well as a few standard sizes. My sexy insanya top, perfect for summer, is fitmesh for Slink (both) and Maitreya. 

        I have a few items from faMESHed too. Cae released the Flutter set which has a butterfly necklace, earrings, and FREE rings available. faMESHed is celebrating four years, so there are tons of free gifts at this event. All you have to do is join the faMESHed group (which is free to join).  Essenz released these sandals with tied up right past the knee rope detail. These flats are fitmesh for all the major mesh bodies so the ropes will fit you perectly. 

        Mesh Body Addicts will be here for this new round May 10th through May 31st. Go enjoy this event full of top original mesh designers making items just for you and the mesh body that you are addicted to!

         Just Because released this stunning two piece lace overlay gown at faMESHed. I fell instantly in love with the white version. Something about white lace makes me happy! NanTra is at Gacha Garden with the Let's Go Crazy pose pack which is a Prince tribute. This set is a very eclectic mix: guitar poses, bathtub poses, and this dove pose. 

I am wearing a new mesh head, Catwa Candy. This is a basic head (not premium) so you can get it (without any options or add-ons) fairly inexpensively. All the new basic, lower cost heads at Catwa are making it fun to play and switch it up. I really liked the new the skinnery skin, Daria, at The Chapter Four on this new Candy head. The chapter four is celebrating its third anniversary and there are a ton of FREE gifts that you can pick up like this lipstick I am wearing. 

        Today I am having a tea party with all my Boogers bear friends so I had to dress for tea! Apple May Designs just released this darling floofy dress with a slim belt that would be perfect for an afternoon tea date. I dressed it up with an assortment of Kunglers jewelry. My necklace that kind of looks like a strawberry to me was at On9, but if you missed it there it is at the main store now. I really adore the iridescent textures of the leaf like parts. My bracelet and ring set was just released at the new round of We <3 Roleplay. Kunglers jewelry is always unique and comes in an assortment of jewel variations. My Essenz shoes are new at Gacha Garden. I am wearing the white version that are one of the two Rare's in the machine.

        Blueberry released two swimsuits recently. I decided to play with Xanthe's Cloning Yourself Tutorial and make one picture with lots of different variations of the new swimsuits. The Michelle one piece swimsuit was released at the mainstore and the Peachkini was released at uber. The Peachkini comes with a floatie that you can attach to yourself and if you "enable the fun" you can follow other sims or bump them if they are wearing a floatie too! Whatever your beach needs this season, you can find the perfect suit from Blueberry. They are all fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink (both), and Belleza (all) mesh bodies. 

        Neve just released these wide leg/ boot-cut pants and simple tanks. The denim versions of these pants are super retro and even come with a rainbow belt. This newest release is definitely something you need to go try on. I love polka dots, so I needed to wear that version but the top also comes in a variety of solids and stripes as well. Speaking of polka dots, H@S just released four pairs of 10L each group gift shoes. The H@S group is only 10L to join and after you do there are 5 pairs of single color shoes that you can pick up for FREE. Then they just released 4 pairs (polka dots and stripes) of multi-color shoes that you can get for only 10L each. This is an amazing deal for only 50L investment! This would be a great way to try the multi-color infinity HUD at H@S. The polka dots will remain white (or black) and the rest of the shoe will change to any color you want. 

My skin is a Belleza applier for Catwa. They are having a 50% off Spring Sale at Belleza right now and that includes all their applier skins! Belleza has made appliers for Catwa, LOGO, and LeLutka. You have until May 24th to get a large majority of the skins/ skin appliers 50% off. 

         I was a ballerina yesterday and today I am a sexy Sci-fi character. I love my SL! My outfit started with this Kaithleen's original fitmesh dress (for Maitreya). The texture on it is metallic and shiny, which I thought was cool. It is a front and a back portion with the sides completely open, but the thing that made me think futuristic is there is nothing holding this dress together. Maybe in the future there will be some invisible material used to hold clothing together (that is how this picture was imagined). Anyway this dress is at 50 Shades of Lust (open til May 7th) and is available in 10 Metallic colors.  Doe released this "Spaceballs" hair at Kawaii Project. It is a gacha item and the animated Bobble headband is the Rare item in the machine. To say that I love this quirky, sci-fi hair is an understatement. Adorable piggy tails and an animated Spaceballs headband, SO super fun! It is fitted mesh and as all Doe hair, comes in a solid or two tone option. I am wearing the two tone variety with a shade in the colors hud on the left and a dipped shade in the pastels hud on the right. You have until May 10th to visit this round of Kawaii Project. 

This is an animated gif to show the movement of the Rare Spaceballs Bobbles. Please remember that gifs are very low resolution and do not show the products well. This is only so you can see the movement. Please refer to my high resolution snapshot for the item details of my outfit.
