I'm standing at the beautiful Twomoons Island sim and at the JASstore. I love this quirky, picturesque sim. It's got MIASNOW, La Malvada Mujer, and JASstore. I've added the creator for the JASstore, Jasmine Lisle, to the list in my last entry. In the past, she has been a sweetheart to me. If you visit her store, you'll most likely want to purchase everything inside. That's my warning to you. That spotted tree behind me in the above pictures? I bought the ten pack some time ago because they are SO cute.

Unfortunately, it's not wise to visit the Twomoons Island sim with 159L (as yours truly did). It was torture because I couldn't buy a fraction of what I wanted to buy!

BAG: Girly Briefcase in Cherry (The Secret Store)

POSES: [DDL]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Izzie skin for only 10L? Not only that, it's a dark skin, which, as you know, is my preferred skin tone because it's my RL skin tone. I had to have it! TP to Izzie's Mainstore and find it. Ye! GET! Read Izzie's blog for more information on this item, including a hint! The hunt object only contains two versions of the skin (cleavage / non-cleavage) but, by now, you probably have several Izzie skins (or you should); thus, you can pair the lipsticks and eyeshadows from those packs with this Eliza skin. I used the makeups in my Estella skin to go with Eliza. Best 10L I've ever spent!

So I dropped by DDL to buy the new bag, "No, You Boys." And I bought that bag. In two colors. And I bought some earrings. And some makeup. And some poses. There's some great stuff there! And the poses are STUPID cheap; each pose is only 10L. 

The bag I'm wearing is loaded with options! You can change the handle, bow and sides of the purse to nine different colors each! I believe this was very, very discounted when I purchased it in December of 2011. It may still be. I will definitely check and then update the ol' bloggo.

The Chum Necklace is from Miel, so you probably know you can change the letters. It didn't just HAPPEN to come with "Never Enough" on it, silly rabbits! It comes with "Your" on the first string and "Name" on the second one. There's a HUD for changing the letters to whatever you'd like. Well, you'll have to "express yourself" with no more than eight characters on either string. You can say a lot with 16 characters, made up of letters, numbers, and a few symbols!

And in case you are wondering, TFG is no more, unfortunately. But some events come back, yeah? My fingers are crossed, for sure.

Now, I've gotta eat something. It's 4:54pm, and I have had only two pancakes and a cup of coffee!

A demain... 

EDIT: The briefcase is not on sale at The Secret Store any longer, BUT it is available for purchase at 199L. What you get for that price is four versions of the bag, two animated / non-animated bags for each hand.

NAILS: Drop Dead Red Manicure Prim Nails (*Sexy Mamas*)

SHOES: Fringe Morocco Sandal in Camel (ANEXX)

NECKLACE: Amida Necklace in Rose Pink (MANDALA)

BAG: Bow Baggu in Pocky (TokiD)

HAIR FLOWERS: Big Flower Headband in Blue (Schoen) - previous MOOLTO Hunt item

POSES: Label Motion and -no wow-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I'm SO glad and relieved that FLF is back. And the just-past edition was out of this world. I bought nearly all items, and that is rare. I usually buy the MIEL item, no matter what it is - scarf, boots, watch, you name it. And I buy a few other items. But this time, I think I didn't buy only one of the 10 offerings. Is it Friday again yet? 

That said, these Fit Shorts were MIEL's yesterday FLF item. You can change what your butt says (hmmm...). The HUD to do so is super easy to use. If you didn't purchase these yesterday, you can still drop by MIEL to see if the item is still out for 50L. I'm sure it's still 50L because it is still 50L on the MP. You can purchase the bright version or the natural version.

I put "Sear Me" on my butt because one of my favorite songs from my favorite band (not one of my favorite bands, but my favorite band), My Dying Bride, is called Sear Me III. Here! Have a listen!

Fix This

 

WHAT I'M WEARING:

SKIN: Polly 2 in Chocolate ([Al Vulo!])

EYES: Enchanting Eyes in Dark Brown (Nana)

HAIR: Taleen in Dark Flame [of Reds pack] (/Wasabi Pills/) - MESH

NAILS: Drop Dead Red Manicure (*Sexy Mamas*)
LIPSTICK: Lip Mattes, Number 20 (cStar Limited Skins)

TOP: Highway Star in White (Sweetest Goodbye) - STORE CLOSED*
BOTTOMS: Short Pants#zb (+grasp+)
SHOES: Dandy Boots in Flor (Miel)

NECKLACE: Safari Necklace (.:* LOULOU&CO *:.)

BRACELET: Stain Glass Blues Bangle (Dark Mouse)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The owner of Sweetest Goodbye, Morphine Janick, closed SG probably some eight or nine months ago. And I did indeed take advantage of the closing sale. If you didn't, that's too bad. However, don't fret too much! She's the owner of Monso, at which you can purchase many of the stuff that was at SG, including the Highway Star shirt seen here.

I think I got it for 25L, but on the MP, it's 300L. I could be wrong, because it was a while ago, but I'm pretyt sure it was about 25L. Here's a link to Monso on the MP. I'll add a LM to the right once I visit momentarily!

I love these lipsticks from cStar. Matte is my favorite style of lipstick, and these are perfectly matte. I'm not so much a fan of glossy lips (with only one exception that I know of - Izzie's). Each lipstick color, which includes a matte lipstick layer and a gloss lipstick layer, is 50L! For a set of 10 colors, which is 20 layers - matte and gloss - it's 380L. Not bad, I say!

WHAT I'M WEARING:

SKIN: Love_Smoked in Cocoa ([Illusory])

HAIR: June in Blood [of Reds pack] (Truth)

 CLUTCH: Sued Clutch in Red/Blue (Milk Motion)
NECKLACE: Spidey Necklace (*MIEL*)
BRACELET: Kush Bracelet (. bewildebeest .) - CLOSED

If it were up to me, I'd buy Emery's entire inventory. Just so you know. :P

I know I have said this before, but it just bears repeating; I am downright in love with this skin. She's pretty by any standard, but she's especially hipster-pretty.

All of my poses come from Label Motion's exclusive offerings for the Pose Fair! Label Motion is one of my favorite pose stores, along with PDA. Thus, I was ecstatic to spend some quality time with the pose stands at Label Motion's corner of the Fair. I even bought some group poses, for which I usually have no need. You see? Label Motion does all sorts of things to me.

Here, I was standing at the lovely mainstore of Izzie's. I was purchasing something there and just decided, "Heck, why not?"

Wronged

WHAT I'M WEARING:

SKIN: Cassandra in Mocha (Izzie's)
LIPSTICK: Dark Red for Cassandra Skin (Izzie's)

EYES: Enchanting Eyes in Dark Brown (Nana)

HAIR: Cleo in Treacle [of Dark Browns pack] (Truth)

NAILS: Drop Dead Red Manicure (*Sexy Mamas*)

TOP: Loose Pocket Tank Sheer in Mustard (Beetlebones)

JEANS: ZebraJeans in Dark Grey (Beatnik)
BOOTS: Dandy Boots Flor (*MIEL*)

EARRINGS: Disk Earrings in Wood (GACHA at Shakeup!)

NECKLACE: Abstract Necklace ([glow] for TDR)
 SUNGLASSES: Swager - Class (ShadZ)
BAG: Mesh Satchel Bag in Vintage (**Shine** for the Private Room Event)

Cassandra is a lovely skin, I must say. Izzie hardly disappoints.

I love freckles and wish I had them in RL. However, I get to live vicariously through Inferna and because of Izzie's Cassandra! Here's another thing I really appreciate about Izzie's; considering what you receive in the box when you purchase the skin, Ms. Button's creations are a steal!

I LOVE the skin I used in the previous entry. That skin is called "Love" by Illusory. I downright love it. However, it costed 1,000L, and the package includes four versions of the skin (DB Teeth and No-Teeth and LB Teeth and No-Teeth. I say "DB" and "LB" because, honestly, I have no idea what the difference is. I'm sure it's light and dark something, but I really don't know!), 30 lipsticks (15 with teeth and 15 without), a freckles tattoo and four eyebrow shapers. That's not bad at all! But then, here is what comes in Cassandra's package: eight skins (again, DB and LB versions of Cassandra with cleavage and freckles and both), nine lipsticks, 10 eyeshadows, one eyebrow shaper, a matching nail base, and (GET THIS) a modifiable shape! And I got all of this for 990L! It's just 10 lindens less than the Love skin, but I feel like you get so much more (though, again, you get a lot with the Love skin).

The Miel boots: As I've stated before, I know Miel for the brand's options to customers. The Dandy boots are very detailed, and you can change the color of the sole, leather, and the trim individually! There are five different colors available for each! I've been a SLer for about 1.5 years, and I'm pretty sure I've had these boots for about a year. They were one of my earliest and best purchases! Get 'em!

JAX

WHAT I'M WEARING:

TOP: Anka, Seeing Spots 1 (Jazumi)

BOTTOMS: Ri Ri Shorts in Light (Lethal Couture)

SHOES: Ankle Boots, Black Widow (A.L. - a steal on the marketplace!)

GLASSES: Hipster Peepers in Tortoise Shell (Miel)

NECKLACE: Kandula Necklace in Gold (League)

BRACELET: Golden Lucite Bangles in Noir (The Sea Hole)

BAG: The Desperado Bag (LaGyo for past TDR collection)

I'm standing at the colorful and exciting Tableau sim, one of my favorite sims. Some of the best stores are on the Tableau sim, including the one from whence my hair came! That store is Fashionably Dead. Additionally, Clawtooth, Paper Couture (or p.c.), Nylon Outfitters, and many many others wonderful designers are here. I consider myself to be a bit hipster, so this place is heaven for me.

Steady

Guess who?

Sooooo, have you heard of Amorous? If not, boy do I have a treat for you! Here's my latest outfit, featuring two different items from Amorous:

 

 

WHAT I'M WEARING:

Top: Olga Corset in Rose Lace (REMY)

Bottoms: High Rise Black Plants (d. Select)

Socks: Button Socks: Overknee (you can change the color of each button, by the way!) - (G Field)

Shoes: Troupe Shoes Bright (Miel)

Hair: Pippa - Dark Browns - (Truth)

Nails: Drop Dead Red Manicure (*Sexy Mamas*)

Necklace: Oceanic (Amorous)

Earrings: Swept (Amorous)

You've seen nothing yet as far as Amorous is concerned. Here's more of the quality that you can absolutely and continually expect from Amorous. (I've removed my hair in the following picture so that you may see less of it and more of Amorous).

ANTIQUARIAN CARAMEL

I frickin' love this set. I can't say enough about Antiquarian. Do you see the detail? I feel as if I can reach out and touch this jewelry - so beautiful and so real. This set includes FOUR versions of the necklace (meaning four versions of the necklace for the chest, and four versions of the necklace for the spine), four versions of the earrings, and four versions of the bracelet (that is, four versions for the left wrist and four versions for the right wrist). You can resize everything, as well.

AVE SATANAS:

If you're a bit devilish, purchase this set! It comes with a choker (both chest and spine options), upper arm attachments for both arms, upper leg attachments for both legs, wrist attachments for both wrists, and rings for both hands. And, even better, there are nine color options for each item. Here, you see white (left) and cyan (right). And yes, you can resize!

Is there any argument that Amorous is one of THE best jewelry designers out there? They'll be no argument from me. I discovered Amorous at the Vintage Fair 2011, and the rest was history. I've gotten the sets you see, plus Ecks, Requiem, You (which is free, by the way), Lacerated, Cathartik, Simplicity, Gyroscope, Luxuria and Antiquarian Absinthe (this is the one I bought at the VF2011).

Can you blame me for being a fool in love?

Go pay Matchbook Monday (the creator) a visit at Amorous (or at the Marketplace)! Not only is she extremely talented, she is very approachable and has one of the best personalities I've encountered in my SL experience!

Also, there's a link to her blog on the right. Stalk it as I do!

Underneath

I didn't forget you!

I'm pretty much a walking, talking, and breathing zombie by the time I get off from work. So I just haven't been able to form sentences enough to update The Girl Vermilion lately.

But I come bearing gifts!
