Humpday on Harlow

Its Wednesday and you know what that means....new bloggage from the Harlow stores!

Pose - Tickled Feet 6
Wearing - Boyfriend Shirt from SF Designs

Full of great clothing for men and women, SF Designs has joined us here on Harlow. One of my favourite shirts is their boyfriend shirt. Its a perfect casual shirt to wear with jeans and comes in 3 colour choices. There is also 3 ways to wear it. You can wear it like I am above, tied around your waist, or as an open shirt with a tank or bra top underneath. Check out what else is in store!

Pose - Sulty 9
Wearing - Fenanimal in Snake from XTC

I think of all the XTC clothing I own, this remains my favourite. You get a sexy leather thong worn with chaps, a cropped leather jacket, fingerless gloves, and the most stunningly textured long sleeve shirt in an animal print. I love to wear the top with jeans or leather pants when I just out and about. You have to see these textures to believe them!

Pose - International Model 3 #9
Wearing - SSC Laqroki Jasmin Shape from Body Doubles with Deschanel Earrings and Cheetah Corset Set from Snatch

I just love my collection of Body Doubles shapes! I just love how sexy and proportioned they are. Unfortunately I don't own a Jasmin skin, so I'm wearing my Laq Tasha 2 skin with it. It still looks stunning! I teamed it up with a retro set from Snatch that I picked up during a Hump Day sale a few weeks back and my fav earrings...and they are colour change, so can be worn with anything!

Wearing - Slouch (Store Gift) from Fierce Designs

Fierce Designs is another new addition to Harlow. With sexy clothing to bring out the playful side of you and raunchy shoes, you are bound to find something to tease and delight your other half...or maybe find them when you wear this around the grid! As their gift to Harlow, the Slouch pink sweatsuit is free in store and is perfect for a casual jog around the sim while you shop!

Pose - International Model 4 #10
Wearing - Leprechaun Special from Magnolia

Just in time for St Paddy's Day (March 17th) Magnolia has released a sexy sparklie green number to bring out the Irish in you...even if you don't have any! As with most all of the clothing in store, you get several outfits in the pack. You can wear the fabulous top with jeans, two style of flexi miniskirts, a fitted system skirt mini and a sexy little pair of panties. There is also two styles of stockings included, so you can be the sexiest leprechaun on the grid.

Pose - Pulse Racer #6
Wearing - Grace in Silver from Catagory 5

Wearing - Ana in Red from Catagory 5

A gift to you from Catagory 5 is this cute dress, called Ana. It was sent out to the subscribo group last week and is still there as the welcome gift when you join up. I really love how you can wear it as a strapless dress or if you are feeling demure, there is a white layer with sheer puffed sleeves.

Pose - Framed in Beauty #2
Wearing - Xmas Gift from MEB

Under the tree in the present from MEB you will find these cute red stilettos and leopard print red pants with belt. The top is my own. They are simply adorable and perfect for a shopping excursion!

Its been a long week, and we're getting closer and closer to the end of the year. I can't believe its been another year in life and in Second Life.

I found some great stuff to share this week.

Pose - Working The Camera #3
Wearing - Triangle Beige Tank Top and Vintage Jeans from Connors

I am so excited to have Connors with us here at Harlow. Full of great clothing, quality textures and fabulous designs, its sure to be a favourite of yours. The tanks come in two styles, plain and print, and look amazing with the vintage jeans. The jeans are incredible too. The stitching detail and textures make these some of the best jeans in SL.

Pose - Long Cool Woman #8
Wearing - Kate and Grace Gowns from Catagory 5

Run on in to Catagory 5 this weekend and you can pick up both these beautiful gowns for $10 each. With several colour choices of each, you will pick up a gorgeous bargain for dancing the night away in!

Pose - Camera Candy #3
Wearing - Mix and Match Seperates and Lolita Boots from Dance Creations

I love this idea from Dance Creations - tops, skirts and pants at extremely great prices - that you can mix and match to create looks you will love to wear. With lots of styles and colours, you can mix and match your heart out!

Pose - Wet Dream #
Wearing - Antonia Cami Set and Bra & Panties from MPD

I can never pass up lingerie, and at $1 each from MPD, you can't go wrong! I love this store! Everything costs only $1 and the designs and quality is amazing. You can afford to shop till you drop!

Pose - Full Tilt #2
Wearing - Gold Ethnic Neckerchief and Gold Ribbon Clutch from Evie

Bumper Saturday Crop!

Its been a busy Halloween all over the grid with lots of hunts, events and sales. Personally I can't wait for all the orangeness to be over. I don't think its quite my colour!

Pose - Sexilicious # 8
Wearing - Red Velvet Desire from Dance Creations

Speaking of sales, Dance Creations is having a massive $1 sale this weekend. Selected items in store will cost you only $1!!! Look for the pumpkins to see exactly which items. I picked up this gorgeous dress, which comes with mini and mid length skit options. Run on in and bag yourself some treats before this amazing sale ends!

Pose 1 - International Model 4 #10
Wearing - Scrunchy Love Top from D3

Pose 2 - International Model 3 #9
Wearing - Scrunchy Love Dress from D3

This is just one of those versatile dresses you neeeeed in your inventory. From D3 comes the amazing scrunchy love dress. Not only do you get a classy and sexy dress for a night out, but you also get a shirt version to wear with jeans or your favourite skirt. I've said it before - I'm not a big fan of red, but this shade is just so rich and gorgeous, how could anyone not like it!

Pose - International Model 6 #6
Wearing - Rule Breaker Top and Bloody Mess Jeans from Insatiable Fashions

I totally love this look! The top is two seperate layers, a tube top which you wear underneath the assymetrical top layer, which gives a sexy and rebellish look to your upper half, totally in keeping with the "rule breaker" graphic. The jeans come in three different styles, basic, light and extra - which I think applies to the rips and blood etc on them. Btw, this is another example of why hitting subscribos and joining groups is an awesome idea. This whole outfit was a gift from Insatiable Fashions.

Pose - International Model 7 #9
Wearing - Teresa in Orange from Catagory 5

In the Halloween Gift from Catagory 5, I found this very orange, but not obnoxiously so, outfit. Its actually a shade I don't really mind too much and it looks amazing on this corset and pants combo. I have blogged it before, but wanted to show it off again, cos I like it. Its a sexy and fun outfit for any occasion.

Pose - Girls With Guns #5
Wearing - Pegasus Catsuit from XTC

Fangirl alert!!! I had to show off my favourite catsuit from XTC. What kind of fangirl would I be to let that slip by? With sexy lacing down the arms, thighs and chest, its a stunning and seductive catsuit that will drive any man wild, and make any woman feel like she can take on the world! You can be a supervillian or a superhero in this and look incredible doing it!

Wearing - Rae Skin in Envy from RLF

RLF has released the Seven Deadly Sins in the Rae skin sets and they are great for adding an extra touch to your outfits and costumes, especially at this time of year. Available in three skin tones, pale, natural and dark, you will find all 7 deadly sins represented there. Check them out and see which sin suits you best!

Well I hope the Great Pumpkin bought you lots of treats and not too many tricks this Halloween. I always enjoy seeing what the amazing designers and creators come up with to share with us all during the holidays. Next stop, Christmas I guess! Have an awesome weekend and I'll see you all on Monday!

Manic Monday Goodies!

Wow the party at Harlow was a hoot yesterday. So many creative and fabulous costumes and the Scavenger Hunt was a blast too. Congrads to the winner of the best costume, Kyrian Lefavre, who took home the $3,000 and to eKitten Magic, who won the Scavenger Hunt and all the goodies that was in the prize pack. Tydeyz had the sim rocking out and Rhianna kept the fun going. Thanks to all who came by for the fun time we all had.

I'm still recovering from Zelly not being blonde! What a shocker that was!!! Even more shocking them me just dressed in bubbles!

Now on to the great finds I have hunted out for you on Harlow this week.

Pose - Working The Camera #10
Wearing - Hail Storm from XTC

Yummy yummy yummy! I just cannot get enough of XTC and leather! New this week is Hail Storm, a fabulous mix of black and white leather which makes up this sexy and fashionable outfit. The black corset and patch on the butt breaks up and highlights the sexy white leather and makes this an outfit you will love to live in.

Pose - Camera Candy #9
Wearing - Good/Bad Girl Tee for D3 and Distressed Leather Choker, Bangles and Cuffs from Zaris

I love T-Shirts, especially funny and clever ones. New from D3 comes a range of "Good Girl Gone Bad" shirts in a range of colours which go so well with your favourite jeans, leather pants, or even a sexy little skirt. I dressed them up with the new Distressed Leather range of jeweelry from Zaris. They are just perfect for a more goth or rock look.

Pose - Full Tilt #1
Wearing - Reaper Remixed Shirt from Insatiable Fashions

Perfect for this time of year comes a sexy low cut shirt from Insatiable Fashions. You can never have too many tees, so check out this store and keep adding to your collection!

Wearing - Venice Anise from Silk and Satyr and Diamond Hearts in Gold from Zaris

From Silk and Satyr comes another gorgeous gown from their Venice collection. Like the Chianti, which I featured last week, it also comes in a full skirt with gold overlay, but I decided to show off the slimmer skirt with train. The gold touches around the neckline and hem are perfect for the Diamond Hearts set from Zaris. Featuring a solid diamond heart with a chain down to a dangling open diamond encrusted heart. Its just a beautiful set that will dress up any outfit or gown.

Pose - Hot Salsa #4
Wearing - Tamara Sundress from Catagory 5

I found this delightful sundress in a pack of three colour options free at Catagory 5 when I was exploring the sim and thought I would share it with you. Its a lovely dress for wearing shopping, hanging out or just wandering around exploring the grid.

Wearing - Abnormal Brain Hat from Fire Good

Another fun item from Fire Good is the abnormal brain hat. A large, colour changing brain sits up on your head, and poofs out brains and stars when you click on it. Its another one of those things that amuses me no end and makes SL more interesting and fun!

We have a few vacancies at the moment, so if you are looking for a fabulous new home for your store, come on by and check the sim out.

Sexy, seductive and just a little bit naughty, thats the designs you will find at Ali Couture. A supersexy form fitting, and exposing, dress is the Deseo. Complete with gloves, ring, armbands and even a patch for your eye, its a sexy number for a James Bond bad girl! Oh Mr Bond, where are you?

There are some lovely hairs at Calla, and one just perfect for wearing with a gorgeous gown for a special night out is Purple Tulip. Its drawn back in a low ponytail at the base of the neck and pearls are intricately threaded into the hair to give it a special touch that makes a simple style really glamorous.
