I was looking around on Flickr yesterday and noticed some BURLEY hairs that I didn't have. So I dropped by and bought two hairs, this one and another called Stasia. It's 300L for each color pack!

 

ALSO, I hope you're gearing up for Tomorrow Today, the fundraiser for Matchbook Monday! It will start in less than a week! I've set up a Flickr page for the event. Here, bloggers and shoppers can post pictures of all the goodies at the event. Join, join, join!

 

Finally, I leave you with ... Josh Burrow (ummmmmm where have you seen him? Captain Morgan commercials).

 

 

You can look, but you can't touch. You're welcome nevertheless. :P

Matchbook [Monday] kills me. You know it. Her Fallen set (earrings and necklace) is what she's offering at the L'Accesoires event that changes on the 15th of each month. I believe this is her first time participating at the event. But I certainly hope it won't be her last. You can change the texture of both the chain and the necklace, and the changes you select happen simultaneously to both. Here's a closer look at the set, which is available in at least eight colors (midnight shown here):

Her watch is a new release, and DAMN is it awesome. Here's a closer look:

 

I'm so excited about the versatility of this watch. First, I have very few good watches in the ol' inventory. I just usually don't wear them. (DOWN WITH PRACTICALITY!). However, I count this among the few that I have and really, really like.

You'd think you could only change the textures of two or three elements of the watch, but no! You can change the textures of 1) the cord, 2) the metal, 3) the wood, 4) the face and 5) YES, the hands! I think it's pretty damned cool that you can change the color of the tiny little hands, but when I expressed this to Matchbook, the foolish girl that she is, she replied that it's not that big of a deal. She's an extremely meticulous worker, and I loooooooove it. As you can see in the picture, I also changed the color around the face of the watch, which you can control under "Flavor." Now, you also have the option to turn hovertext on and off AND the same option for daylight savings time. You'd access that menu by clicking the face of the watch, and you'd access the usuals (resize, texture, flavor, control, etc.) by click on anything other than the face. The texture of the wood that you see in the above pictures is "Animal," and it's my favorite!

That's about it for now. I'm SO excited about composing a Halloween look. Is there any holiday more fun than Halloween? What's that? "No," you say? AGREED! :D

A demain...

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you get a little bonus inside each of the eight versions (colors) of Silence that you buy! NO, I WILL NOT TELL YOU MORE! ;)

I'm working a bit, so that's why it's been NINE days since I posted last. However, I had to stop by to show you a few things!

First, here's the new skin from vive9, Maliah! I purchased her in the darkest tone available, which is SPF308, aka DeepExpresso. Maliah is SO beautiful! The bone structure is out of this world. The lips need no cosmetics, but there are some available, of course! I've dressed her in many things since I got her yesterday, but this is the most fitting getup so far. She's got a really innocent look, and so she looked odd, to me, in my SWAG stuff. I'm very interested in seeing what other bloggers do with her. I'm sure she's already been dressed up in so many ways; I've just got to get around to viewing them! So there are the nine usual suspects (skin tone packs), and each package, you get five skins (the base skin; three with light brown, brown and black brows; and one with no brows), an eyebrow shaper, six beauty mark layers, a freckles layer, a cat-eye makeup layer, and a deep blush layer! That's for 1,095L. Then, there are makeup (eye AND lip) and cleavage add-ons. I bought a line of the lipsticks for 175L, with three lipsticks inside of the pack. I have a feeling that I will wear this skin out; I'm just warning you! 

Then, there's the Boho Culture Fair, which starts on October 15th! I'm really excited about this fair. I haven't seen much of what will be offered there, but, as you can see, there's going to be some really nice stuff. Do you know what my favorite brand is? It's Free People. NO ONE likes to go to Belk with me anymore because they KNOW I'm headed to the FP section, and I'm going to be there for a while. Free People stuff is exactly the type of stuff I'm hoping to see at the Fair!

FINALLY! You get to see a new face inside this blog! And a pretty face it is; it belongs to my dear, dear friend and splendid blogger, Mikaela Carpaccio! She is such a sweetheart and such a good friend; I was more than thrilled when we got the chance to take these pictures together. Although I'm super excited about showing you these pictures, I am even more excited about the fact that this joint post is only the first of a few we have planned! Make sure to read here to learn what she's wearing (and, generally, read her blog, because I said so! And because her pictures are gorgeous and she's got impeccable style).

 

Bilo's a great store. It may sound odd that I've the same store as Mikaela does, but I too discovered Bilo a while ago (perhaps months ago) but never had the chance to really explore the brand. Chandra Masala, of Bilo, creates colorful, ethnic apparel of mesh (or mostly mesh). So you've seen the two tops we're wearing from Bilo, but what about this dress (first picture on second row) for a mere 50L? MUST. HAVE. DRESS.

 

Enjoy!

You MUST pick up this dollarbie pack from The Plastik immediately! I'm not sure how long it's going to be there, but for now, it's there and up for the taking. It's only one linden, and there are - get this - 20 items for women and 3 items for men. And within those single boxes for women are, in some cases, two variations of the same article of clothing. I went through the pack and liked all gifts for women. There are shorts, shirts, dresses, pants and even eyes. Pick it up!

If loving fri.day hair is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Now, I'm downright sure that Darling Monday is a smart girl, but wtf is THIS nonsense? "...unless a miracle happens and I suddenly have talent in that category [hair]?" The poor girl is confused! She's made tons of hair, and all of them are wonderfully made - beautiful, hip, neat and superbly textured. I think I'll shake her inworld and make her realize the error of her ways. Will you help me? Walk up to her - you and me and all of us - and grab her by the shoulders and shake some sense INTO her and more fri.day hair OUT of her. :D The last picture above is a profile view of the hair so you have evidence of her [temporary, I hope] craziness.

I couldn't decide which look I liked best, so I just used both. I had one look and then wanted to blog several other items, so I just split it all into two looks, not entirely separate. 

You can't see the bottle because of the poses I used, but there is one included with this bodysuit. It's animated, no matter the pose. Thus, I had to be very watchful with the snapshot button. Actually, I think I did take a picture in which you can see the picture. Be warned; here comes an unedited Inferna!

Finally, I've got to mention these wonderful earrings. As with all (not some, but ALL) Amorous items, you get lots of control. You can resize the earrings. You can turn on/off full bright. You can change the color of the metal (bronze and light/medium/dark silver). You can change the color of the leather (gray or brown). And you can change the color of the spikes to nine different colors. All these options for an earring? Why, yes. I was a bit appalled when, on a recent trip, I discovered Urchin, an Amorous piece that was NOT sitting pretty in my inventory. I had to rectify that situation, of course.

I've one more VF2012 look that I'm working on (great transition there, yeah?). I'm so intimidated. Do you ever stall because you just know you can't do justice for the items / tasks involved? GET IT TOGETHER, INFERNA!

If you hadn't noticed already, I am one of those bloggers that blog the hell out of favorite items. I can't get enough of these GOTZSCHE glasses. The same goes for my Shakeup! lipsticks! 

And, of course, Amorous. This set comes in four colors, and as always, you can change the colors of the metals! There are two bronze options and two silver options. Again, per usual, you can resize it as well. Any creation my Matchbook (whom I affectionately refer to as Matchykins - DON'T STEAL MY PET NAME FOR HER!) must be a painstaking process; you can tell how well-made not only the jewelry is, but also the texture. She always does such a great job. If you want to see more of Amorous, please PLEASE visit her shop here. You can also take a gander at other entries here featuring Amorous products. Use the tag at the end of this post to do so. I have to add; if there were no delectable jewelry at Amorous, I still would frequent the store. Why? Because the sim, which is all made by Matchykins, is as well-made as her jewelry. TP to the rooftop for other visual treats. I can't lie; I've used the rooftop for blog posts.
