I Can't Be Tamed

2012-01-29T12:40:00.000+02:00

Hello! Are you familiar with the creations by Nita Bracken? If not, I think it's high time for you to know a little bit about her and her brand Tameless. This is what she writes about herself on her blog:

Like most women in Second Life I am addicted to hair. After spending most of my time and money looking for it I finally decided to start making my own. Over 3 years later Tameless has become my passion.

There's also a Flickr group you can post pictures to. And if you like competitions, one is running right now! Read more about it here.

Like what you see in the picture below? Want to see more? Please visit Tameless inworld or take a look at the SL Marketplace listings. -B-

Do The Gat-Cha-Cha!

2012-01-20T21:57:00.001+02:00

Hi! Do you like 'em Gatchas? Yes? Well then you'll love the Seasons Gatcha Winter event. You've got until January 28th to try your luck. More info on the event here and here. If you have any spare change after feeding the machines and love LoQ Hair, you should definitely consider becoming a Gold Member. There is an initial fee of L$150 but I think the Cobbler fatpack alone more than makes up for it. More info on the group and the exclusive gift here. That's all folks. TTYL. -B-

Betty Lou Likes Honey And Mustard

2012-01-15T14:35:00.000+02:00

Hello! Today I'm keeping it casual and simple. And affordable (freebie, group gift, Collabor88, The Dressing Room Blue...)! I'm also keeping it short. The only thing I think you should know is that this time I didn't post-process the picture. So, this is what the Komrad HUD looks like unedited (or could look like as there are so many different frames and effects). Hope you like it! Laters. -B-

Shaken, Not Stirred

2012-01-07T19:12:00.000+02:00

Hi! I'm not quite sure how Gia Pawpad prepared this Martini but I'm liking it. Unlike some other martinis I've had in the past, this one actually protects my head. I urge you to taste it, I'm sure you'll enjoy at least one of the various flavors available.

If you don't have any spare change, not to worry, I have another great suggestion for you. Join *COCO* Update Group (free to join) to get yourself a free MESH outfit (and lots of other great gifts). It's casual, cute and easy to move in. And! It's the perfect opportunity to try out MESH clothing if you haven't already.

Oh, and I forgot to mention something in my previous post. Kari Komrad HUD to be exact. I used it in my previous post and I used it again today (post-processed, though). It has all kinds of neat features which are all introduced in this demo video. There's also a Flickr group you might want to take a look at. That's it for today. TTYL. -B-

Do You DIY?

2012-01-05T22:06:00.000+02:00

Happy New Year! I hope your 2011 was a year to remember and I hope your 2012 will be even better. If you made any resolutions, I hope you are able to stick to them! I'd be glad to have the time and the effort to blog a little bit more this year.

K, let's get this blogging year started. A short while ago I received some cluttered flowey (Flutter Memel) review copies: a small skybox (the sunbeam box vol. 2), six chairs (DIY chairs) and a lamp (melody). I really like them. They are affordable, cute and well-made. So, if you find yourself in the need of a little place of your own and/or have room for new furniture, visit cluttered flowey. You don't have to DIY, Flutter Memel has done it for you. -B-

Meet My New Friends Alexa, Athena And Nikola

2011-12-28T01:29:00.000+02:00

Hi! Are you friends with MESH yet? If not, I think you should consider giving it a chance. I don't have that many MESH friends yet but the ones I do have are all very nice indeed. Today I met some new ones: Alexa, Athena and Nikola. They're pretty. They're colorful. They're laid-back. You can take them all home to your mom and dad, no problem. The only thing I kinda dislike about them is that their loyalty has to be bought. But once you've bought them you've got them for SLife. -B-

Pretty [glow], as you can see. I dare you to check out [glow] Studio's new collection and go even more [glow]. Can you do it? If you love great accessories and aren't afraid of statement pieces, I'm convinced you can. Oh, and if you're looking for the bag you can find it in black and in white at the main store.

Champagne On Ice

2011-12-11T00:02:00.000+02:00

Hello! The two previous winters in Finland were cold and very snowy. This one hasn't even started yet. Ok, so it's dark, kinda cold and raining but that's not how it's supposed to be in December. But! Thank goodness there's SL and Picnik. You can make your own private winter in a matter of minutes. So I did. Snow and all. And a big fat ribbon on top! That's all folks. For now, at least.

Big Wings Are In

2011-11-22T20:06:00.000+02:00

Hi! I've been a very bad blogger, I know. A lot has happened since I last posted. Most importantly, MESH happened. I haven't formed a strong opinion on it yet (as if I ever do) but I do love the lolong trousers by Celoe. It's refreshing not having to adjust prims for different types of shoes. It's also nice that they look good in various different poses (yes, to portray this lovely feature I've chosen to stand legs wide apart). And to close this off in a very random way, bushy brows are totally IN. -B-

SNAP You're Under

2011-11-02T23:43:00.000+02:00

Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes, *SNAP* you're under.

You suddenly feel the need to get new peepers. And not just any old pair but Fleur du Mâle's (by Aymeric Pelazzi) Alive DRAKE eyes. The things you really like about these eyes are the original handmade textures and the fact that they come with slowly animated prim lights, giving them a unique living touch. You decide to start out with the dollarbie promo pack and soon want every color available, especially Silver. You also want to leave a comment and thank B for this awesome post.

Three, two, one... *SNAP* you're back in the room. -B-

Responsible Drinking

Hi! Are you the type of person who enjoys a good drink every now and again? Brandy, ouzo or maybe some whiskey?

Hello couture lovers! I know you have been wondering what it will be like. Waiting, coveting. Well, at long last it's here. And it's worth every second of the wait. This is what it inspired me to do. Go see it, feel it, buy it. And let it inspire you too. -B-

Aztec Cowgirl Lost In The Woods

2011-09-18T20:36:00.000+03:00

Hey y'all! It's B reporting from the woods. I'm having a hard time finding my way back home. It's a good thing I'm properly equipped. I mean, the deer here are very fashion-forward. They say the label to wear in these parts is Tokidoki and keep giving the evil eye to people not willing to listen. So, if you won't take my word for it, trust the deer and check out Tokidoki's new fall collection. -B-

Eternidad

2011-09-11T22:53:00.001+03:00

Hi! I have a lot of great looks to share with you but before I get back to fashion again I'd like to introduce another beautiful place in Second Life, Eternidad. Not in my own words this time, but in William Blake's.

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.

Welcome To The Red Light District

2011-09-07T22:23:00.000+03:00

Good evening! I've been to Kowloon before but yesterday I felt like going there again. In my brand new mesh boots that bent it like Beckham whichever way I chose to pose. Impressive. Where will they take you? -B-

Hey there! Now that I have room for bigger pictures here I thought I'd post some of interesting locations alone. Sans moi that is. Did some heavy editing on this one even though I really didn't need to. If you want to know how the place looks "untouched", just go ahead and visit. -B-

The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Is A Train

2011-09-04T11:54:00.001+03:00

Hi! Wow, so I didn't post anything in August. I think it's the first time since 2008 that a whole month has gone by without me posting something. I almost switched to Tumblr but then decided to tweak the layout (again) so that I can post bigger pictures here.

I'm so sad I can't run shadows properly. I have a good graphics card, it's just no good for SL. Oh well, I'm experimenting with different environment settings to keep things interesting for me and hopefully for you too. TTYS! -B-

Something About The Moon

2011-07-30T00:59:00.001+03:00

Hello! I can't sleep. At least not like normal people do. My inner clock is all messed up and it's too bright outside! So I'm up all night and sleep all day. It will be interesting to see how it works out for me when I go back to work on Monday. Yay. I wish I could say it was something about the moon. But I guess it's called jet lag. Oh well, at least SL helps kill the time. TTYL. -B-

When In Doubt, Wear Pink Feathers

2011-07-28T01:01:00.000+03:00

Hi! Long time no see. Again. I had an amazing vacation in New York, Miami and Key West but now I'm back home again. I have a lot of catching up to do in SL but am slowly getting back to the groove. I was so happy to see The Seasons Hunt still running. Wasn't too mad about finding an ATOMIC skin at The Dressing Room either. Was too tired to put anything too complicated together but wanted to let you know I'm still alive and well. Hope you are too! TTYL. -B-

Hi! Long time no see. I've been working out at the gym, jogging, cycling and basically trying to do whatever it takes to get in a bit better bikini shape. But all work and no play makes B a dull girl. So I thought I'd post something and here I am posting it. A cute outfit for warm summer days. Maybe even laundry days if you're letting someone else do it for you. Would you do mine, please? Kthxbye. -B-

I Think I Broke My Pants

Hi! I'm not very happy with the way SL's been treating me lately. I keep crashing every few minutes and surprisingly enough can't get anything done because of that. I tried begging on my hands and knees but the only outcome of that were dirty hands and broken pants. Ah, yes, there's just a little bit of attitude in this outfit. Again. So? -B-

So your mother and/or father probably told you never to take candy from strangers, right? But what if it's a juicy zombie head on a stick someone's offering? You wouldn't say no to something like that, now would you? Just ignore the shady looking van and whatever it is you need to ignore and take a little bite. I'm sure you'll love it. -B-

Waiting For A Call

2011-05-14T12:44:00.001+03:00

Hello! Blogger's been acting funny for the last couple of days for me so let's see how this goes. Not too much to say about today's outfit. Well maybe I'll just state the obvious. I absolutely LOVE LeLutka's new hair releases. I've bought most of them just haven't blogged any until today. I've always been a fan of big hair so I guess BIGGEST is kinda my fave. Gah, who can choose, right?

I also have tons and tons of great bargain skins that I'd like to showcase to you but there are just too many... The one you see in the picture below, Gaia by Apple May Designs, is one of the most recent ones I've purchased and also one of my faves. If you want it, go get it @ The Fashion Garret before it's too late. It's only L$70 and you get cool lashes too (similar to the lashes I'm wearing in the picture, was just too lazy to adjust the new ones).

Oh, one other thing. There's a new photography-focused fashion feed, Style Academy, for you to check out. Yup, you'll find me there too! And if you have a blog, be sure to apply to be syndicated. Aaannnddd that's about it for today. TTYL. -B-

Not Your Girlfriend

Hi! K, so you shouldn't mess with this girl. She might look kinda cute but you don't know where she's from. She could actually be a carnivorous monster from far far away or in this case, a pixel eating one. At least that's what I was thinking putting this outfit together. But that's just me. If you feel like giving it a go, do so at your own peril. -B-

Hi! I can't believe it's May already. April seemed to go by in a blink of an eye. But I ain't complaining. Every day we're getting closer to summer and with summer comes a three week trip to New York, Miami and Key West for me. Triple yay for that.

Oh yea, maybe a few words about today's outfit? The dress is a new release by Tokidoki, the skin is on sale (50 % off) at Fashionably Dead's Tableau location and the necklace is by my good friend Lisa Taft (hopefully I'll soon be able to provide you with a SLurl to her store). And! You know I've been a fan of my PIDIDDLE lashes for a long time, right? Well, now I found some tattoo underlashes to go with them and am an even bigger fan. K, that's it for now. TTYL. -B-

Hi! So, my graphics card died *again* and the flu came back. Double yay for that. But I'm still kicking. In today's look I'm wearing lots of hunt prizes and other cheapies. Couldn't resist the urge to wear ATOMIC's old VIP gift skin as I'm pretty sure I haven't blogged it before. Don't think it's available anymore, tho. Sorry. The Seasons Hunt prizes, on the other hand, are very much available all through the rest of April. More info on the hunt here and here. Go chase 'em beezzzz! TTYL. -B-

Somewhere In Old Italy

2011-04-03T12:36:00.000+03:00

Hello! Just in case you've been wondering why I haven't posted anything in a while, I'll start by saying it's because I broke my new computer. And on top of that I've had the flu. So yay for that. But now I've finally got my baby back and am feeling a bit better.

It was hard to decide what to post first, so many great new releases out there. But being the casual girl I am, I went for jeans. Again. I love flares and am so happy they're coming back, in SL and RL (love, love, love the look). The hair isn't new but when I first saw it here I knew I had to have it. And yesterday I finally found it ('cause it would be dumb to just ask, right?). Needless to say I love all the rest of the stuff too, guess I wouldn't be wearing them if I didn't. Anyway, hope you like the look.

Oh, and keep yourselves warm. I don't want you catching the flu too. TTYL. -B-

Where The Birds Always Sing

Hello! Sometimes life's not easy. Sometimes it gives you lemons that just don't seem to turn into lemonade no matter how hard you squeeze. But in the middle of it all there's this one place where the sun always shines and the birds always sing. And where with lemons, they always serve salt and tequila. Bottoms up! -B-

Can anyone tell I saw Black Swan yesterday? Gotta say it was the best movie I've seen in a while. Even had some pretty hot girl on girl action. Anyway, didn't really try to recreate any scenes, outfits or such but am channeling some sort of ballerina. Absolutely love the ballet slippers by The Abyss and the pose by Del May. And you already know I love everything by Nylon Pinkney, so, if you ask me, you should definitely get the new hair. There's another version of this picture here, check it out if you feel like it.

2011-02-27T20:44:00.000+02:00

Good evening. Even though I actually enjoy Mondays, Sundays sometimes make me feel a bit down. You know, not quite sad but not quite happy either. So I guess this is somewhere in the middle look, hope you like it. TTYL. -B-

Something In My Hair

2011-02-21T22:53:00.000+02:00

Howdy! What once was wind is now soda cans. Yup, that's what I have in my hair. But I kinda love how a sugar rush is always close at hand. If you're a sugar junkie too, I suggest going to ploom to get your fix. But try walking/running/teleporting/flying without falling, especially if you're wearing tights. Or else you might find yourself having a few too many holes to deal with. If you do happen to fall, tho, I hope you fall near FALLOUT. Just 'cause it's a great place to explore. Laters. -B-

East Side Story

2011-02-14T19:51:00.000+02:00

Once upon a time there was a post that went a little something like this. Hi! Every now and again I don't feel like being cute. Sometimes I feel like listening to heavy music, downing a couple of drinks, putting on too much makeup and dressing up like I just don't give a damn. I guess it's the East in me. East Helsinki that is. It's not quite Camden, NJ, but we've got our issues. Today I'm listening to John Coltrane and sipping tea so, erm, not quite sure where I'm going with this. The end. -B-

Maybe Just Maybe

Hello! I hope you're all having a great Saturday night. I don't really have much to say but maybe just maybe you'll like the outfit. And maybe just maybe you'll notice the heart that's supposed to bring some Valentine's Day feel to the picture. And maybe just maybe I'll find me a Valentine in this cute little number. Ok, no more maybe just maybes. But I think one TTYL is in order. -B-

I Never Knew Jack Daniels

2011-02-06T14:48:00.002+02:00

Hello again. I've been wanting to post this outfit for a while now but didn't seem to find a good location to take pictures in. Until today. Even though barbee is part of the Cupid Heart Hunt, which I started, I ended up there by using the Destination Guide. It's a really intriguing sim, very much worth a visit even if you're not after a heart (a tricky one btw). Oh, and I guess the title should say Jack Daniel, but S or no S, never knew him. So. Just scroll down for the credits. Laters. -B-

On Dry Land

2011-01-26T20:00:00.000+02:00

Ahoy! Today's look was inspired by trico hair and Pididdle lipstick (found @ Kozmetika, Second Life's first multi-brand cosmetics store). I also really love the new group gift skin by ILLUSORY (see more info here) and the piercing blue eyes by Insufferable Dastard. Oh, and if you think I went overboard with the texture, you ain't seen nothing yet. Tough luck sailors. TTYL. -B-

Connie Goes Boho

2011-01-23T00:40:00.000+02:00

Hi! I seldom take off my Glanz eyes but today I made an exception and am wearing 2C eyes by 2C Runo. The picture below doesn't do them justice but I urge you to go take a look at them. There are lots and lots of different eyes and colors to choose from (see some of them here). If you're out and about by foot, I suggest wearing Tokidoki's new boho boots. They're totally cute and go perfectly with the new Connie bag by Bare Rose. There's enough space in the bag for all the hunt prizes and bargains you might pick up. Yup, that's about it. Peace out. -B-

Never Want To Leave

2011-01-17T22:50:00.000+02:00

Do you ever get the feeling when you're somewhere far far away from daily routines that you just never want to leave? But then you realize that if you stayed the feeling would slowly disappear and that you actually need the routines to make escaping them for a little while as amazing as it is. I do. Guess it hasn't got much to do with the look but, you know, just saying. -B-

Hello! I've got this really cute new necklace by Yummy! and no one to share it with. Yes, I'm begging for friends here. Will you be Bay's friend forever? But seriously. If you have a BFF in SL the Best Friends Trinket Necklace is a great way to show him/her you care. More info here. Oh, and while visiting Tableau why not take a look at the new stuff for guys at Nylon Outfitters? You obviously don't have to be a guy to make the items work. But you can be. -B-

More Tea For Me

2011-01-01T18:05:00.001+02:00

Happy New Year! Ok, so I may have drunk a couple of glasses of bubbly yesterday but I'm starting the year off with tea to set a good example. Not just any tea, mind you, but tea from 'homeless books' the tea shop. It's tea that'll make your skin glow. Or maybe it's the new blush I'm wearing? I suggest you try both. You can find the blush and a skin to go with it at Apple May Designs. If you hurry (limited time sale ends today) you'll get the skin for a special price of L$250. More info here. -B-

Keys To My Sleigh

2010-12-26T22:48:00.001+02:00

Ho ho ho! Would have wished you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays way sooner if I hadn't, umm, lost the keys to my sleigh. Yes, my sleigh. And when I finally found them I had a hard time dodging all the penguins, polar bears, reindeer and elves in the way. Or maybe it was just the snow. Hard to tell as I drank one too many eggnogs before leaving. Non-alcoholic, of course, but dairy products are equally bad for you. Trust me. Or maybe you shouldn't trust me. TTYL. -B-

Tea To Go

2010-12-19T15:01:00.000+02:00

Good day! Yay, LeLutka finally released the Fame Pumps. It hurt a bit to part with L$675, but I'm glad I did as I'm sure I'll be wearing them a lot. My other favourite in today's outfit is the new teapot bag by Tokidoki. It's not only the cutest bag I've ever seen but also very convenient for a tealover like myself. The third thing I'd like to mention is Mother Goose's special Jamil skin you can find for L$150 at EUPHORIA. Now time for some Christmas shopping in RL. TTYL. -B-

Too Much Mascara?

Hi! Don't you just love the spider legs I have going on here? Only three eye-friendly layers of makeup used to achieve the look. If you don't suffer from arachnophobia and aren't afraid of your lashes falling off while trying to remove it all later, feel welcome to copy. If, for some unfathomable reason, you prefer a more subtle way to make them peepers pop, read this tutorial by Gogo. -B-

Tell Me Your Favourite Song

2010-12-06T21:45:00.000+02:00

Good evening! We're celebrating Independence Day in Finland today so we get (or maybe got at this hour) to spend one more day at home. I just finished watching the Independence Day Reception and after seeing so many dresses felt like blogging something. Instead of glamour I went casual, tho. Snagged this cute winter outfit and these chic booties at The Dressing Room. The skin is an old SBS one but you can find a similar one at The Dressing Room BLUE. The title is totally random again, inspired by the shelf full of records. To make it more relevant, I'll tell you one of mine. -B-

111

2010-12-03T21:35:00.001+02:00

One Eleven. An interesting concept. Luxury (what defines luxury in SL, btw?) exclusives limited to 111 pieces each. I expected high prices but they were... something else. In my virtual world everything's potentially disposable without the guilty consciense. So I tend to go for bargains and usually only invest in things I'm pretty sure I'll wear more than once. I did, however, have some spare lindens to burn when I finally got there and was lured into being one of 111, twice. Yay for amazing creators and events. Boo for the trouble getting there and sky-high prices. Thank you and sorry. -B-

Garden Of Dreams

Howdy! Not feeling very creative today. Thought I'd post something anyway as it's been a long time since my last post and some great items have been piling up in my inventory. Ok, so I took the pictures in a not-so-wintry setting but I'm almost all ready for winter wearing Glam Affair's Eva Winter skin for TDR (L$70!), Milk Motion's vintage scarf, Tokidoki's is little cold cardigan and League's Ella stockings. Jean shorts and high heels don't exactly scream winter but they look good in any weather or setting, no? TTYL. -B-

Perfect Hair Day

2010-11-13T10:27:00.000+02:00

Good morning! I've had my fair share of bad hair days but yesterday I had a perfect one, at least in SL. Lamb's Honey is pure perfection as a) it looks amazing and b) it was a breeze to fit (invisible scalp alpha included). Almost everything else you see in the picture is by Milk Motion.

Hip To Be Square

2010-11-06T22:26:00.000+02:00

Good evening! I've been trying to learn how shadows work for the past few days. I found a couple of great tutorials (by Gogo and Strawberry Singh) and am kinda getting the hang of it. I still have some problems, tho. Seems like whenever I turn Antialiasing on, the shadows disappear. So, if I want to work with shadows, I'm stuck with jagged edges for the time being.

Anyway, I hope you dig the outfit I put together for my first picture with shadows. I don't think the pantsuit is available in apple anymore as it was a Stumblebum exclusive but there are four brand new colors to choose from at Tokidoki. The special SBS skin by MonS is still available, go bag it before it's too late! Oh, and I found this awesome square dancing outfit (wearing the shirt) while visiting Tableau, gonna have to post the skirt later. Have a great Saturday! -B-

Plain Jane No More

2010-10-19T23:58:00.000+03:00

Hi! Yay, I finally have a new computer. I had my old one for about five years and it was really making things hard for me. I'm sure it'll take some getting used to being able to do so many things I couldn't before. I've been trying out different viewers, enjoying the environment (which I can actually SEE without crashing), trying on makeup and hair on tattoo layers, replacing invisiprims with alphas... and the list goes on and on. So, this is my first post with multiple tattoo layers on and I quite like what the makeup did to the dollarbie hunt skin. Can't wait to try out more combinations but I guess I have to get some sleep.

So Fresh And So Clean

2010-10-04T23:03:00.000+03:00

Good evening! I've been wanting to post this skin for a while now and today I finally felt comfortable wearing it. For some reason it only seems to work with very few hairs I own (or maybe I'm just weird). But when it works it works really well like with this gorgeous new release by the ever so famous Elikapeka Tiramisu. She designs under a new brand [elikatira] that you can find here for the time being.

Most of the clothing I'm wearing is Tokidoki. I really love the new shrug, it's something you can wear over and over again with gazillion different tops. I also love the cuffed cords by Doppelganger Inc. Today in a different color. Bye for now. -B-

Howdy! There's a new kid in town called Maya Levane and she's got a lot of cute things to offer you. I could've blogged every damn thing in the blogger pack, and maybe I will. Today's look has only two Tokidoki items in it, tho. Yes. There are two. You just can't really see the bag. If you want to get a closer look at it just visit the store, k? But gotta run now. The Paper Couture Fall (or is it winter?) 2010 collection is out and can't wait to see DUnltd19 either. Be back soon. -B-

Help! It's awful how mean people can be. If you don't know the right code of conduct you might end up smacked upside your head. That's what happened to me at Hair Fair 2010. I mean, would you go somewhere without your makeup, clothes and accessories? Heck no! I'd rather choke on my prims than walk about bald and stripped down to my underwear. B*tch please. Just take it off for the greater good, k? Laters. -B-

Hi! It's September already. In Finland that's just about enough to make a girl feel blue. Luckily it only takes one hunt to make a girl Think P!nk. There are some 50 candies for you to find (see list here) but I only ate three (or four if you count the dress). Gotta watch the figure, you know. TTYL. -B-

You don't have to spend a dime to enjoy it. You've got until August 16th but why wait. -B-

Anyway, here I am with my three looks for the Newbie Style Challenge that Gogo initiated (more info here). The idea was to create a nice avatar with little to no money.

2010-06-30T20:40:00.000+03:00

Hello! Fifty Linden Friday, Super Bargain Saturday, Stumblebum Brigade, The Dressing Room... So many great events for stingy people like me these days. The only downside is that it makes me sad when I miss a good bargain.

I'm so glad Bastet of Kis Kis (formerly known as NUT) sent me the exclusive skins she has out for Stumblebum this week. If she hadn't I would've missed not only her unique skins but two of Lamb's hairs in a new blonde color. And the list goes on.

The other stuff I'm wearing is not exclusive so you don't necessarily have to hurry to get it. I strongly recommend that you do, tho. Why? Because you want to look smexy, plexy, bootiful like me as soon as possible. No? -B-

Hi! Believe it or not, summer came early to Finland. Inspired by the warm days I wore a dress and a pair of cowgirl boots in SL and started looking for a nice place to take pictures in. My computer is dying on me but I've been trying to postpone buying a new one until we move.

Hi! I'm back again with a bit of useful info for y'all. A compatriot and a talented content creator, Bastet Hazelnut, is taking part in an event called Beautiful Bloom and asked if I could post something about it.

Hi there! Can't wait for Spring? Neither can we! That's why we urge you to shop the Beautiful Bloom Designers Event. The following stores will have exclusive Spring-themed items available at each of their stores through April 9th-23rd.

You can get a preview of the goodies in the Flickr Group:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/1407745@N22/

Don't miss it because some of these items wont be available ever again!

Hey, hey! Have you ever heard of Tahani Designs or House of Fox? I hadn't until recently when I received some review copies. Tahani Designs offers clothes, skins, shapes and accessories. The slogan "We've Goth Style" gives a pretty good clue on what the style is. This is what it says about House of Fox on a notecard sent by Jared Jharls:

House of Fox offers both Avant Garde and Casual clothing. Our style of clothing are mostly in the greyscale. You will not find anyone other like us both our fashion sense and our vision of the modern woman.

Instead of blogging everything I got, I decided to take my favourite pieces and incorporate them into one outfit. If you want to see more teleport over and start browsing. Be sure to grab the awesome &bean skin dollarbie on the way, too! Laters. -B-

Sweet Vintage

2010-04-02T00:36:00.000+03:00

WARNING! Annoyed by bloggers who post unavailable items? I'm about to, more than one, so you might not want to read any further.

I went and changed the layout again. Inspired by the vintage feel I dug out some Dazzle and Last Call. Even tho the SL fashion scene has evolved a lot since they shut down, I'm still very impressed by Ginny Talamasca's work. Especially the slouchy leg, don't think anyone has topped it to date (a lot of good ones out there, tho).

It seems like Vive9 will be vintage for a while, too. So glad they decided to keep the freebies available at the Eugene location. Makes waiting for the reopening sometime this summer that much easier. Oh, and no, I have no idea how to use the word vintage correctly. -B-

I've been sitting on this outfit for a while now, just haven't had the energy to write down the details. Today I decided I should as Melt (if you like the skin I'm wearing, then that's where you should be heading) will be closing this coming Sunday. It's a really cool installation on thin ice, think polar bears and such. Scroll down for the SLurl. Laters. -B-

The skirt is very affordable at L$65 and the stockings are free! The scarf, on the other hand, cost me a whopping L$300 (resizeable and very versatile, tho). That's it, TTYL. -B-

A Jeans Kinda Girl

2010-02-10T20:38:00.002+02:00

Mhm, that's me. I never get bored of jeans. I want more and more of them and it still isn't enough. If you're like me you'll love the new Everyday Jeans by Doppelganger Inc. They come in six colors (preview all the colors here), one for every day except Sunday. Yes, Sunday, you should really wear a dress to church. ;)

Speaking of days, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Once again this special occasion has insipired designers to create awesome goodies. I already told you about Valentines Bazaar but there's more. Today I'm in love with the sunglasses and wristlet included in the Valentine's Day Outfit by Tres Blah. It's a Stumblebum Brigade exclusive so please hurry if you want it for yourself (was still there today). Toodles. -B-

Some Things Never Fade

2010-02-04T23:57:00.002+02:00

Hey guys, just dropping in real quick to post this simple look. The inspiration for this outfit has got to be the new Faded Tunic by Doppelganger Inc. I love all the five colors it comes in but somehow opted for the grey one. I'm not really wearing it correctly as I suck at fitting prim parts. If you'd like to see a better picture of it in its entirety you can do so here.

I apologize for wearing stuff that's no longer available. I'm trying to make up for it (again) by wearing a lovely and available cheapie. If you haven't been to Valentines Bazaar yet you should before February 17th. Why? Well simply because everything there costs L$50 or under and it's good stuff, I mean, just look at the skin. How often do you get a Pink Fuel skin for fifty bucks? I rest my case. Laters. -B-

Hair - fri.day, Yelena, Happy Blond
Skin - Pink Fuel, Skye, Milk, Pink Sugar (Valentines Bazaar!)

Bows, Prints And Basics

2010-01-31T14:48:00.000+02:00

Hi! Don't you just love the kind of clothes you can wear in many different ways, over and over again? The lovely Anya Ohmai has released such a garment once again in numerous delicious colors. It's a dress and a romper all in one, aptly named the Basics One-Piece. I chose to wear it as a dress this time (there are instructions included on how to tweak the system skirt if need be), with prints and a big-a** bow. How would you wear it? -B-

A Dip Into The Sea Hole

2010-01-31T01:00:00.002+02:00

Hi! It's good to be back posting again. I was really sick this week, puked for 29 hours straight and haven't felt that great until today. The positive thing in all this is that there are a lot of great items in my inventory waiting to be reviewed.

The first thing I want to get out in the open is this awesome new skin release by Drinkinstein Sorbet. Drinkinstein is the owner of The Sea Hole, a shop full of colorful clothes, fun items and creative skins. I mean, have you ever wanted to look like Gene Simmons? If such an urge happens to hit you, The Sea Hole's the place to go.

If you're not auditioning for KISS any time soon you might want to try Fate or Purity instead. I really love the lips on the Fate skins, so glossy and soft. Both the skin lines come in one tone and 12 makeup options. You can take one of the skins home for L$400 and demo the heck out of them for L$1. -B-

Skin - The Sea Hole, Fate/Purity
Hair - TRUTH, Jacinta, champagne
Eyes - Celestial Studios, Optics, Light Series, Sage/Gray
Lashes - REDGRAVE, Eyelashes -10- Twiggy
