Sing a Little Song

When I saw the uniquely elegant creation Leap from Lyrical B!zarre Templates, it brought music to my heart!  So, I thought it appropriate to have a musical them to the photos!

Leap, a full permissions creation, is available from November 20th to December 17th at The Couturier's Docks event.  The event features exclusive releases from some of SL's top designers in limited quantities for 50% off!  You don't want to delay, there are only 46 of the 50 copies of Leap available!

You will also want to rush to pick up the breathtaking Tibby skin for only L$99 from Style by Kira at the Designer Showcase event!  The current round of the event ends on November 26th, so don't delay in picking up your copy of Tibby!

The beautiful Classic Pearl jewelry set shown in the photo is a free gift from Lazuri!  The set is color change through a touch menu, and can be found on the second floor!

Also shown in the photos is Judette, an exquisite new release from Tameless Hair!  I chose one of the versions from the Fades package to show you.  The other packages available are Naturals and Fantasy.  Each package is only L$249; however, I highly suggest picking up the Mega package, which includes all three packages, for only L$499!

Lastly, I want to remind you the lovely Sharon shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle is only available a few more days!  The current round ends on November 22nd!

Happy Shopping!

Dealing with Stolen Content - Admiration for Creators

Dear Readers,

Hello!!  I am thrilled to be back in SL and to blogging!  I have missed you all so very much!  It has been wonderful hearing about the adventures you have had during my absence, and I look forward to getting back in touch with everyone!

In this post, I wish to give a round of applause to creators and designers in SL.  I have so much admiration for those who provide the items for our virtual lives!  They spend countless hours during the process of creating and designing an item; furthermore, they also spend large amounts of money on programs, tools, education, and uploading fees!

Sadly, for their pain, some creators are robbed of their creations.  I cannot imagine the heartbreak and frustration of having a creation stolen and resold under another brand.  Nor can I imagine the effort which goes into proving the stolen work was your own.

I bring this situation to light as I recently learned of Kiddo Oh's battle with a design being stolen and resold by another resident in SL.  I strongly encourage you to read her story on the Dead Dollz blog.

Gown from Dead Dollz (L$1 at main store)
Pose from Eternal Dreams Poses
Hair from Tameless Hair

Shown in the above photo is a black version of Kiddo Oh's creation named Cosette.  As stated on the Dead Dollz blog, Kiddo Oh is placing this version of her creation for sale for L$1 at the Dead Dollz main store as an effort to disrupt sales of the stolen item during the process of the DCMA filing.

After reading Kiddo Oh's story, you may be wondering what to do if you see something which may be stolen content.  Well, my suggestion is to contact the original creator with the business name, location link of the item (marketplace or SLurl), and brief description of the content in question.  Do not take for granted the original creator knows about the suspected theft.  After making contact, it is then up to the original creator to take action to protect their intellectual property.

Jewelry from Stars!
Skin from Dulce Secrets
Shape from Anna Shapes

Before closing this post, I wish to bring attention to the stunning Lizzie jewelry set from Stars!, the gorgeous Sharon shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle, and the lovely Makhilla skin from Dulce Secrets at bodyFanatik shown in the photo above. The Sharon shape will be available until November 22nd for only L$80, and the Makhilla skin will be available until November 25th for only L$350 per pack!  There four beautiful skin tones available, and seven skins in each pack!   After the event, the Makhilla skins will be sold individually.

Happy Shopping!

Being Cinderella

Every woman deserves to be treated like a fairy tale princess!  Fairy tale dreams of being Cinderella can come true with the releases from WoW Skins, Anna Shapes, Elemental Jewelry, and Snowpaws!

To begin my fairy tale princess look, I chose the lovely Riwen skin from WoW Skins at Designer Circle and the captivating Christie shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle!  I think the two creations compliment each other beautifully, don't you?

Next, I added the gorgeous Ariadne jewelry collection from Elemental Jewelry!  The exquisitely designed texture change set is available in red, blue, green, and gold.  Each stone color set has several stone, metal, and gem options!  You may also adjust the shine, brightness, and glow from the touch menu!  Every princess needs these jewels in her royal collection!

At last it was time to choose the gown fit for a fairy tale ending!  I stopped by Snowpaws to select my gown.  It was a difficult decision, but I finally chose the charming Flor Gown!  The enchanting gown is composed of a mesh skirt, flexi-skirt, and sculpted bodice!  The exquisite gown is available in original, violet, sea green, and light pink!

After I created my Cinderella look,  it was time to go to the ball!  My fairy godmother must have been watching me put together my look, because I found an elegant carriage pulled by unicorns awaiting me!

Happy Birthday to Me!

So, today is my birthday and I have some birthday gifts to show you!!  I've split my gifts into a couple of posts, so be sure to check back later today!

My first present is the Tiffany outfit from Amarelo Manga at Designer Circle!  I adore the classic design and the sheer elegance of the accessories!  I let out a gasp of delight when I saw the darling clutch and fabulous jewelry!

I must say, the shoes were the most surprising gift because the HUD matches the skin tone for you!  It was a snap!  Plus, if you need to adjust further, you can do so very easily!

Though I didn't unwrap it today, the photos also show off the lovely Sarah shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle!  Believe me, you don't want to miss out on this captivating shape!

I also picked the fetching hair style named Ivana as a gift!  It is one of the newest releases from Tameless Hair!  This style would be wonderful for any occasion!

Before I go, be sure to visit Designer Circle soon!  The current round ends on April 5th!

Every Woman Needs

While I was exploring SL, I decide to focus on just a few things which are necessary for every woman.  So today, I want to show you a few things that every woman should have in her inventory.

Every woman needs the classic little black dress in her wardrobe!  You'll find a delightful version from Masoom at Designer Circle!

The dress is only L$95, and is also available in jade and ocean!  The other two colors would be perfect for an outing at the beach, or a shopping trip with your friends!  You'll want to hurry to pick up your choice of colors as the current round will be ending soon!

Every woman also needs a hair style that captures attention!  Ceridwen is one of the new hair styles from Tameless Hair!  It is a captivating style with intricate braids and an elegant bun!  I love this style as it can be worn with formal, business, or casual attire!  The style would also be wonderful for role play!

Now, grab your purse because every woman also needs to go shopping for accessories and cosmetics!

Happy Shopping!

Warming Up the Week!

The past several days have been very irritating, because I've been unable to stay logged into SL.  However, I was able to stay logged in long enough to show you some fabulous finds to warm up your week!

The first fashion gem I want to show you is the alluring Honey dress from AlterEgo!  Honey is a recent release and includes an easy to use HUD to change to your choice of thirteen colors!  It is also available in a Dark Pack with eighteen color options, and an Ombre Pack with seven color options!

As you probably have heard, the Womenstuff Hunt has begun and the prizes are wonderful!  I was able to find the Keeley Avatar as a prize from Panda Punx!  Shown in the photo below is the Keeley skin which is part of the prize!  The prize is free and includes the skin, shape, eyebrow shape, appliers, and more!  I think you will agree that is a very generous prize for the hunters!

Next Stop....Designer Circle

There is something about trains that have always fascinated me!  As a child I would count the cars and waved to the man in the caboose.  Of course, most trains don't have a caboose anymore; however, I still hold the memory close.

When I saw the Cecile dress and the matching shoes, darling hat, and leather bag from Amarelo Manga at Designer Circle, I knew I had to take a ride on a train!  The classic design of the creations made me think of the elegance of the antique travel cars.

I also picked up up the beautiful Greta skin from WoW Skins at Designer Circle, and the lovely Kendra shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle.  I think they made a charming look!

After your trip to Designer Circle, take some time to enjoy a train ride.  I highly suggest the train station of Southern Tier New York!

Chilly?

The temperature outside dropped again, but I'm warmly wrapped in fashion with my finds from [Phunk] and Womanity at the Flawless Cart Sale!

The Fishermans Sweater from [Phunk] is fabulously created and richly detailed!  I decided to pair the sweater with the fetching mesh leggings I found from Womanity at the Flawless Cart Sale.  This outfit is perfect for keeping out the cold on chilly days! Plus, if you are feeling in the mood for color, both the sweater and the leggings are color change via a HUD!

My other find for the outfit was the unique unisex necklace from [Phunk]!  The necklace includes a HUD, which is very easy to use, for personalizing the necklace to your taste and mood!

Happy Shopping!

Tempting Treasures from Designer Circle

I am so excited to show you the treasures I picked up at Designer Circle!  There were so many tempting creations; however, I limited myself to just a few items today.  Of course, I'm certain I will return soon to pick up the other items which caught my eye and show them to you!

Amarelo Manga at Designer Circle tempted me with the classic design and detail of the Luara dress and matching boots!  The creations are sold separtely for only L$100 each; however, I am certain you will want them both as they coordinate so well! Plus, the boots will be a perfect addition to your fall wardrobe!

I also found the lovely Delora shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle!  As always, the shape is beautifully created and exquisite in porportion and detail! The shape is copy and modify, and it is available for only L$80!

Also shown in the photo above is the stunning Fay skin from WoW Skins!  The skin is the November group gift, and you can pick it up at the WoW Skins main store!  Of course, you can also nab the past group gifts while you are there!  There is a L$300 fee to join; however, the Fay skins and past group gifts more than compensates you for the joining fee!

I'll have more from the Designer Circle, so check back soon!

Paris Metro Couture and Tameless Hair -- Irresistable Elegance

When visiting Paris Metro Couture, it is certain you will be surrounded by some of the most elegant and exquisite designs on the grid!

A creation for you to be looking forward to is the I Love You This Much release!  I felt so glamorous while wearing the creation that I couldn't resist taking some photos while I was exploring the streets of Paris!

I Love You This Much includes a variety of sizes for the corset top and skirt to help ensure a lovely fit to your unique shape!  The set also includes the fetching hat, and the flexi-black accent skirt.

I also felt glamorous while wearing the Hallie hairstyle from Tameless Hair.  I adore the way it frames the face, and the alluring appeal of having the bangs swept over one eye!
