My hair is new by Wasabi Pills and it comes with this adorable doggie hat. It comes with solid or eight animal texture hats. It also comes with a no hat version of the hair too. I am actually wearing the white version of this hat and I "Edit Linked" and I tinted it turquoise. If you are not sure how to do that, I made a video about two years ago explaining how to tint mesh items. I love using that trick to give things my own personal touch and making them uniquely me. You can find this new hair at Ultra. 

        I am also wearing a new outfit by Vinyl that is exclusively at Mesh Body Addicts. This baggy sweatshirt and leggings are so cute. The top comes with a solid version and a print version and every color has it's own unique print design. 

        I am taking my pictures today at a new Picture Place called Time Portal. I am going to do a seperate blog post and highlight just the place because I think its super cute. I am in the "50-60's" part of the sim in the above pictures. 

        So much great hair at Hair Fair! I have blogged Exile, Doe, and enVOGUE already and today I have a few more of my favorites! One of the things I LOVE about Hair Fair is what I have come to call my "new-to-me" new favorite hair store. I seem to always find one. Last year it was Fiore. This year it is Stealthic. They have four hair styles at the event and I personally could not leave without all four. I think the mesh is really spectacular and the hairline (part where it meets my head) is phenomenal. The creator of this store used to/also creates for The Sims and is now bringing their meshes to SL. I think that's fabulous! Here are all  4 styles at the fair:

        Aloha! I am hula dancing today! I don't travel that often in RL, so I like to explore places in SL. It is amazing how some of the places inspired by RL places make you feel like you are traveling, at least a little bit. I can hula dance because Nantra is at Genre with a cute hula dance 12 pose set- {NANTRA} Alaka`i Hula- that comes with the Hibiscus headpiece (seen above) in three colors. This pose set is only 99L for the duration of the event- as are all the goodies at Genre (only during the event). The theme this round is Polynesia and there are a lot of great tropical finds. 

        Have you been to the Epiphany yet? There are quite a few sets that seem very fetish to me. The one that I HAD to have was Zenith Criminal Police. I wanted all the rares (of course). I did not get the rare jacket, but that's ok because I really like the common red/black jacket. With the handcuffs and the "S&M" Whip- this set is definitely made to be a part of the bdsm scene (yay!). If you are on the submissive side of the scene, you need to check out Grixdale's Pet set. It has sexy outfits, collars with the words F&$^, naughty, and toy; and bondage masks. Kibitz has a Collar Collection at the event with 9 collars available in the machine. The collars contain open collar scripts and a metal change HUD. Pixicat has the Thorn dress with rope detail that definitely has some fetish elements (ending in a rope collar at the top of the dresses)- especially the longer versions of the dress. The long commons look like latex as well. Those are all of my fetish Epiphany recommendations for this round. Good Luck and may the Gacha gods be with you!

       Kaithleen's is at We <3 Roleplay with this Long Lady Dress with nice corset detail. I don't have a picture of it but the back lacing of this corset is 3D and very detailed. Definitely stop by and try a demo of this dress!  Romp also just opened and Cae is there with the Linked collar. It contains a regular and open collar script as well as a metal change HUD. 

        Essenz is celebrating three great years in SL. Happy three years, Essenz! To celebrate there is a 50% off sale in the main Essenz store til July 26th. You need to get over there and get all the shoes, half off!! Essenz is also participating in the current round of shiny shabby that opened today. My adorable wedges with the bow are new and exclusive to this event. While these are not part of the main store sell, you can check out the Essenz flickr or the Essenz label in this blog to see all kinds of amazing shoes you can get in the 50% sale. Essenz also just moved to a new location (next to AMD), so you need to update your landmarks to the new store.

        My Kaithleen's bow top is also so cute and it looks like it was made for these bow shoes! This top was released at the last round of Cosmopolitan, but I missed blogging it while it was there. (I am pretty bad with two week events, eek. I do pretty well with monthly events, but not two weeks.) However, I really adore this top with a huge bow in the back! I am sure you can find this cute original fitmesh top in the main Kaithleen's store.

        Blueberry is at Summerfest with this silky, sexy dress and panty set. I love the back straps (see them below in my picture collage). Cae is at Cosmopolitan with this mermaid set. I love this simple mermaid charm (see a close-up below). It coordinates well with the previous release "Under the Sea" charm bracelet (see close up below). One of the charms on the bracelet is the same as this mermaid jewelry set. My Doe hair which is kind of an updo and kind of a ponytail is new at The Fantasy Collective. It is a gacha item, so you can try your luck and get it fairly cheap. 

        Damien Fate has redone his entire FATEstep shoe line. He has made them more streamlined and they look great. If you have previously purchased any Fate shoes, you can get them re-delivered to get the new version 2 updated copy. Any Fate shoe purchase is like getting a fatpack of shoes because all the parts have unlimited texture change possibilities. Also FATEstep is part of the Summer Sale event and all shoes are on SALE- 50% off right now!

        Pixicat is at collabor88 with this sexy dress and this version is black latex. I always love when I can find something fetish in mainstream fashion. Especially since this is fitmesh and really well made. Most of these dresses are fabric (kind of looks like suede to me), but this one is shiny black latex. It only comes in one latex version/color, but I love it and am thankful for a latex version of this fitmesh design. I paired it with these new black latex Bax fitmesh boots and I think they look amazing together! 

         Hairology is a discount round this time so all the hairs are 25% to 75% off. I found a lot that were 25 or 50% off. My Iconic hair was 50% off. You can find some great hair deals at this round. There are also some free gifts that you can pick up if you are in the Hairology group.

        I have some more goodies from collabor88 that I am wearing today. Blueberry is there with the Clare romper. How cute is this? I love the belt and it is texture change via HUD. You can choose to wear it with or without the little bolero style long sleeve jacket. My hair is the other hair by Exile at collabor88 (I already showed Reveling In You). Morning Glory is a middle part hair with both sides loosely pushed behind your shoulders. Find both of these fabulous items at the current round of collabor88!

      All of my poses in this post are new by Everglow. The Breeze pose set was just released at the new round of The Liaison Collaborative June. 

        I have been having so much fun playing with makeup layers since Catwa 4.9 was released. Before that update, I would occasionally wear lipstick, but did not play with makeup much because of the alpha glitch with eye makeup. Now that Catwa somehow magically fixed that, I have been trying on and buying makeup all over the grid. I have previously shown some alaskametro eyeshadow and that is what I am wearing again today. My lipstick is a newer to me makeup store find and one that I had not found yet when I made my makeup video, Arte. Arte does not have a lot of makeup yet, but what it does have for Catwa- I have pretty much bought it all. These pink/purply glossy lips are gorgeous! You get 10 colors in this pack and they are all beautiful. 

        I have been a Bax Kitty. A very, very Bax Kitty. Not a Bad Kitty. A Bax Kitty. (ok maybe bad too...). Bax Coen updated her original, signature Prestige boots to a brand new fitmesh version. These are reminiscent of the sculpted boots that were classic Bax, but these new boots are fitmesh (for all the major mesh bodies) and materials enabled. Features that bring these knee high boots up to the 2016 SL level. You can get these new Bax Prestige 2 Boots in latex (shown), suede, or metallic versions. You can buy fatpacks (that is definitely my suggestion) or single color packs. The latex texture is sold in black, white, and red/pink individual packs as well as the fatpack of all three combined. These new boots fit your favorite mesh body of choice perfectly and shine as you walk and move in SL. You need to try a demo today.

      Collabor88 opened yesterday and Exile is there with two new hairstyles. I am wearing the style, Reveling In You. Also in my close up shot you can see new Cae jewelry and Kaithleen's cosmetic enhancements for Catwa. My necklace is part of a set that was released at faMESHed June, Nova. My Bracelets have empowering messages on them. I love these! I am wearing the "Love" set and the messages are: I love you to the moon and back, You are my sunshine, forever friends, forever family, live laugh love. You can also find Peace, Life, and Strength messages. I love these simple bangles with words. Kaithleen's released some blush-freckle combos recently (at another event and they should be in the main store now) and this lip gloss is at Tropical Summer Fair. They are both made for Catwa heads. 

      This perfect for summer T-shirt dress was recently released by Just Because in their main store. I love the tie detail on the right side and the wrinkles/folds in the fabric. The texture looks just like t-shirt material and has great realistic details. 

      My first pose is from Exposeur, which is one of my favorite pose stores. Exposeur is closing (sadface). I am so sad! You can find the first pose as well as tons more in a Final Closing Sale through June 30th. Everything is 80% off making pose sets and couple poses 35L each. It is definitely time to go stock up!

      My second pose is in the new Everglow pose pack, Sunshine, that is released at The Tropical Summer Fair (til June 17th). 

        This is a bit of a tease because I am showing you items from an event that starts June 10th, Vintage Fair. I am so excited for this fair. I got to preview and what is already out looks amazing- like these Nantra poses and Elikatira hair. Both will be exclusive items at Vintage Fair 2016. You will find items from the 20's to the 70's and even some much earlier roleplay items too. I love the Vintage variety I found at the event. Make sure to stop by Vintage Fair when it opens June 10th!

        I fell instantly in love with this pose prop from Nantra. You get this mesh Vintage car (40 Li) with 16 adjustable poses built into the prop (so you do need to be able to rez to use this set) and the car changes to 8 colors too. It was so fun to shoot these pictures with this amazing pose prop! Exclusively at Vintage Fair starting June 10th.

        I finally got to go to Arcade June. I have not missed opening day since the very first round- when I did not understand what the event was. Since then I have shopped and gotten my list on day 1. I was so busy with end of the school year activites I could not get there til now. One of the things on the top of my list was this Mon Cheri bikini in Moon. The Moon texture is iridescent and you know that is my kryptonite. This whole set is materials enabled and shines so nicely against the in world sun or lights. You get fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza but the top and bottom of the bikini come separately. With the four tops being the Rare in the machine, it can be hard to get a matching set. I tried a few pulls and ended up buying this set on Marketplace, lol. I have added all of my extras in my own MP store, Kirsten's Gacha Garden- so if you are still looking for items to complete your sets- check my re-sell store. I hope you get all the goodies on your list. I only have a few more on mine for this round. Happy Gachaing!

        I am in love with these Reign boots. Before I went to buy them at N21, I was trying to figure out which color I was going to buy. It was going to be a hard choice! I was so excited to find out that I DID NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE! These boots are being sold in a customization pack. Honestly that was the only thing that rezzed for me so I am not sure if they are also sold in singles or not. I did not wait to find out because the full pack was so reasonable. You get 20 boot colors, 3 sole colors (white, black, clear), and two lace colors for only 599L. 

         I recovered from my bootgasm and I donned a new Neve top, Blueberry skirt, and Doe hair. Neve just released a bunch of tops and dresses that are perfect for summer. These tank tops can be short (shown) or longer to your waistband. My distressed Blueberry skirt comes in normal denim or ombre versions. I am wearing one of the new ombre versions and its so great. My Doe hair is new at Whimsical. It is a long style with a braid on my right side. 

       I also found this pose prop from Purple Poses at N21. It comes with three props- curtain, chair, boxes that all have embedded adjustable poses included in each one. 

         Exile will be in The Arcade (starting Wednesday, June 1st) with two new hairstyles, Stay and Go. I am wearing Go in Blondes above. 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. Finally my sexy, strappy Essenz heels are new at Shiny Shabby.  Salvador is available in 12 single colors, 3 different combo HUDs, or a Fatpack with all 12 colors included. 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. 

         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.
