Xmas Eve Eve...

...at least in some parts of the World, and in SL. For me it is Xmas Eve and a little girl very special to me is turning 4 today. She's still asleep at the moment...and gonna be very upset when she finds out she slept through Blues Clues!

On to the goodies from Harlow!

Pose - Male Model 2 #1
Wearing - Belleza Johan Shape from Body Doubles

I thought I would start us off with some man candy today. I love Body Doubles. Its where I got my shape from and I have never deviated from it. I like how they look so natural and in proportion. Skin Specific Shapes have become one of their trademarks. They do a range of shapes to work with your favourite skins to show them at their advantage. Cos after all, you pay enough for them that you want them to look good!

Pose - Sexilicious #10
Wearing - French Kiss from Milady's Fancy

This was one of the fabulous dresses we gave away at the recent rooftop dance party from Milady's Fancy. If you didn't win a copy but love it as much as we did, here's the one deal you will not want to miss out on. Only on XStreet for a very limited time, when you buy this in Tropical Storm, you get 6 more colours FREE!!! Thats 7 dresses for only $200! You'll have a dress for every party over the holiday season!

Pose - Sassy #9
Wearing - Elf Girl and Rawr Boots from Nushru

Isn't this just too cute for words? Nushru's gift to the group this holiday season is just so adorable. In gorgeous red and green shades, you can bring out your inner elf and have some fun whilst looking hot! The boots are the perfect finishing touch too!

Pose - Pulse Racer #4
Wearing - Pink Vest and Red Tie Tank from Evie's

Tanks and jeans would have to be my fav casual outfit in Second Life, as well as RL, and from Evie's come two new tanks to add to your collection. You can dress them up or dress them down, and still look amazing!

Have an awesome Xmas!

Wednesday...just!

Ack I'm late! I feel like the White Rabbit! At least I can just squeak in with my Wednesday post. I've been having massive "Emerald" issues this week. I only use Emerald for photo taking, and its very hard to do that when half your inventory is missing! So after being a big girl and downloading the latest Emerald viewer, my inventory is back and I have my pictures done.

Pose - Working the Camera #8
Wearing - French Kiss from Milady's Fancy

Continuing with the preview of the Dance Party dresses you could win, here's the dress Zelly has for you. From Milady's Fancy, the dress is called French Kiss, and its simply gorgeous. With black lace around the hemline and the decolletage to accent the vibrant fabric of the dress, its perfect for the upcoming party season!

Pose - Sassy #9
Wearing - Knitted Minidress from Amanda's Fashions

Another new release from Amanda's Fashions this week is this adorable knitted minidress. This strapless little number would look incredible worn on its own, or with a long sleeved shirt and jeans underneath, It also comes with knit stockings to complete the look.

Pose - Snow Bunny #2
Wearing - Trailor Trash Skin from Oceane

Is it wrong that I totally love this skin? I dunno if its cos it fits how I feel at the moment, appeals to my sense of humour or just makes my boobies look fantastic...either way, I love this skin! With smudged makeup and tatts already on the skin, its a winner for those days when you just want to vegetate around the house in your lingerie and curlers.

Oceane's other new release this week is Veronika. Available in 9 makeups, its a strong, vibrant skin for a strong, vibrant woman.

Need a new spot for your store, we have some fabulous 100 prim stores available, as well as a couple of 50 and 75's. Come see the sim and check out fabulous build and what we can offer you.

Monday Already?

I am losing my days again. Being from "the future", I already get confused enough by the fact SL is a day behind my real world time zone, but I could have sworn today was Monday my time, which would make it Sunday SLT.

Since its not, I quickly found some great things at Harlow to show you.

Pose - International Model 6 #9
Wearing - Moneypenny in Lavender from Milady's Fancy

Moneypenny is a range of business wear for the busy woman on the go from Milady's Fancy. Complete with a pencil skirt in two lengths and slacks, it can take you anywhere at anytime. You need to run to XStreet before November 26th and you can pick it up in Lavender for only $25!!!!

Pose - International Model 4 #1
Wearing - Shakti from Silk & Satyr

New in store from Silk & Satyr is this absolutely gorgeous gown called Shakti. I just love the gold lace detailing and the sexy halter top and sheer stomach panel. These colours are perfect for the festive season parties too! It moves so wonderfully when you are dancing too! Complete with earrings and bodice jewel, its a gorgeous addition to your wardrobe.

Pose - International Model 6 #10
Wearing - Celestial Necklace, Earrings and Bracelets from Darlinks

Lots of parties means lots of opportunities to dress up and accessorise. You will look amazing in the Celestial set from Darlinks. Not only is it gorgeous and eye catching, but its also colour change, so you can match it up with whatever you are wearing.

Pose - International Model 12 #2
Wearing - Black Ice from XTC

Black and white is such a stunning combination and no more so than in the black ice outfit from XTC. Combining a metallic black tube dress with white full length gloves for a look that will always get you noticed.

Mid-Week Updates!

Its Wednesday, which means I'm back with some more stuffies from Harlow for you to enjoy.

Pose - International Model 4 #1
Wearing - Dollarbie Gift from Drop Dead Diva

Another new store on Harlow is D3 - Drop Dead Diva. I popped on in to check it out and stumbled across their dollarbie gift, which put me in an Alice Cooper frame of mind. Maybe it was the tight leather pants, but I dug out my Alice eye makeup skin and went posing in a graveyard. There are some really cute outfits in store, so do check them out!

Pose - Enchantress #5
Wearing - Grunge Boots from MEB

I love love love boots! MEB's grunge boots are just perfect for stomping around SL in and look fabulous with jeans! These boots come with a handy resizing option - and be careful when doing that. With wonderful textures and gorgeous detailing, these boots will soon be a staple of your footwear wardrobe!

Pose - Chiquita Buena #10
Wearing - Moneypenny from Milady's Fancy

Milady's Fancy has some of the most gorgeous clothing in SL and this outfit is one of my favs. Perfect for Autumn, it has a luxurious cowl neck sweater with several skirt options. Available in a variety of colours, you will soon find the right one for your changing wardrobe.

Pose - Darling Divas
Wearing - Jordan: Fury in Red & Cameron: Fortress from XTC

I just had to sneak another fangirl post in this week, especially after Cameron was sent this amazing new outfit for men from XTC. Not only will you find amazing dresses, corsets (drool) and jackets for women in store, but the men's designs are breathtaking, so you ladies need to drag your partner, boyfriend, boytoy - any male you know - in to check it out. I love this dress though. Tight leather, textures and coloured, its simply gorgeous. There is a selection of colours available too, so there is definately one for you!

Pose - International Model 14 #9
Wearing - Cameo in Vanilla from Out.Rage

Out.Rage has this lovely dress with bands of gorgeous purple detailing around the waist and hemline. After all, its not Autumn everywhere and this dress will be just the thing for wearing out shopping or hanging with friends. With a sit smart skirt option as well, its a great addition to your inventory.

Its Getting Hot in Here!

Almost "Too Hot To Handle"!!!!

I've been bouncing around Harlow picking up chili peppers full of goodies that our stores have put out for you to find. I'm so amazed at the gorgeous gifts that they are giving and have some pics for you to look at. I'll be heading back down to hunt some more a bit later and will have more goodies to share soon!

Pose - Full Tilt #

One of my favourite finds was this uber sexy dress from Dance Creations. They are not just giving you one gift during this hunt...but 5 amazing gifts! This is in #2 and I just love it. The bodice is breathtaking and it comes with 5 skirt options, so there is one for any occasion. With it I am wearing the women's engagement ring from The Loved Collection at Zari. Its her gift for you in the hunt. Its a simply stunning heart shaped diamond ring which you can wear even when you're not engaged!

Pose - Misunderstood #3

You have NO IDEA how long I have lusted over this dress...and to find it in one of the two gifts from Milady's Fancy...OMG...it made my entire hunt!!!! I love the lace detailing down the sides, the sparklie fabric and just everything about it. Its one of those dresses you just feel incredibly sexy in! If blue isn't your colour, there is a whole range of other options in store at Harlow.

Pose - International Model 12 #2

A new addition to our stores at Harlow is Multiple Personality Disorder. This is one store you are bound to love. The clothing is incredible and such wonderful quality...and EVERYTHING costs only $1!!!!! Yes that is not a misprint. Everything in store is only one linden!!! You can afford to go nuts in here...I know I did. This is the cute gift from MPD and its just adorable!

Pose - Body Beautiful #1

From Amanda's Fashions comes two sexy sets of lingerie from her new line - Amanda's Secret. You get this sexy set which is the Cherry one, and another in Red. You can just never have enough lingerie and these are two sets that will be sexy new additions! I love corsets and these are lovely ones!

Pose - Long Cool Woman #8

Silk & Satyr's addition to the hunt is this sexy little number called Caliente. Its a gorgeous little number that will look great whether you're dancing alone in your bedroom or out in a club. Its just a fun little outfit and you will love it! Check out their other dollarbie in store!

This is just a tiny taste of the goodies hiding around the stores in Harlow. The hunt runs until the 30th Sept, so you have plenty of time to come hunt out the hot peppers and the fabulous gifts they are hiding.

Saturday Stunners!

I'm a wee bit on the late side posting today...sorry bout that! Finally managed to get my pics done, so lets get into it!

Pose 1 - Audrey Kitching #6
Wearing - Group Gift ($1) from Divalicious
Pose 2 - Ursula Andress Lucky Chair Pose
Wearing - Discovery Hunt Gift ($0) from Divalicious

From one of our newest Boutique Stores comes two fabulous gift dresses! I was checking out the Discovery Hunt and found a few of our stores in it, so I just had to bounce on over and hunt out the magnifying glass. At the Divalicious mainstore I not only found it, but also the fabulous group gift! The design of the dress and the fabric used for it are absolutely sexy and stunning! I love the jewel feature at the cross over of the straps. Its a perfect cocktail dress for any occasion. The Discovery skirt and top outfit is gorgeous too! This is one store you need to spend some time checking out. Both outfits came with the jewellry worn in the pic. Check the store out on the third floor of Striking Poses and I bet you will be grabbing a landmark and heading over to check out the rest of the range asap!

Pose 1 - Audrey Kitching #5
Wearing - Discovery Hunt Gift ($0) from Milady's Fancy
Pose 2 - Courtney Cox Dollarbie
Wearing - Tasta Silks ($0) from Milady's Fancy

Another store participating in the Discovery Hunt is Milady's Fancy. I love this dress! From the gorgeous trim across the bodice, the fun zebra print down to the flirty lace skirt...its an incredible gift! When I was hunting at the mainstore, I stumbled across the free silks in a brilliant green. The choice of fabrics is lovely, as is the striking colour chosen. The design is just so yummy. I also spent some time checking out the rest of the range at the store. I'm awed by the talent and spectacular clothing there. Check it out!

Pose 1 - Angelina Jolie #8
Pose 2 - Anne Hathaway Dollarbie
Wearing - Discovery Hunt Gift ($0) from xTotalxBettyx

Last but by no means least in the stores I found in the Discovery Hunt is xTotalxBettyx. From that wonderful store comes a gorgeous dress for summer with two shirt options. First is a fun and flirty ruffled skirt that moves down the torso and ends high on the thigh. Secondly is an empire type full skirt which ends just above the knees. In a lovely shade of buttery yellow, its a sunny addition to anyone's inventory. Don't forget to check out the new design of their mainstore and stunning new releases!

So many stores spoil us month after month with gifts either through groups, in store or in hunts. I would like to thank the owners and designers for their endless generosity and hope that others, like me, spend some time checking out the rest of their stores, maybe save a lm or make purchases or even find a new favourite store. I have found many of my favourites that way and have become a frequent shopper in them.

The Striking Poses Boutique Stores are up on the third floor of the Mainstore. If you haven't checked them out yet, you don't know what you are missing. Don't forget to check out the Flickr Group to see some amazing pictures from the talented people in SL using Zelly's poses in amazing and creative ways.

You Don't Want To Miss This!

Its a new week with lots of wonderful surprises and releases from the fabulous stores we have upstairs at Striking Poses.

Pose - Lady GaGa #4
Wearing - Hazel ($50) from DollyRock
Backdrop - Grungy Stripes #20 ($300 pack of 20) from Core

I'm in a bit of a "princess" mood this week and have been wearing my tiara all over the place with all sorts of outfits. Every woman needs a tiara in her inventory and never needs an excuse to wear it! If I did need an excuse, it would be because I found this gorgeous dress for a song at DollyRock!!! This special offer has been extended, so you need to run on in and snap it up! Also at DollyRock you can find Cherry's Pick. This is an outfit that the wonderful Cherry has chosen to offer at the special price of $100. This week its a sexy lacey outfit called Nancy and it comes in four colour choices.

I just had to show off a gorgeous texture from Core. The stripes and finish gives the one I used an almost silky look that is classy yet keeps the grunge feel and look. The packs contain 20 textures that are just perfect for photo backgrounds or for many other uses. I think they'd look pretty just as pictures on the wall!

Pose - Doutzen Krous #8
Inset Pose - Glamorous Dollarbie
Wearing - Ravel (Exclusive gift) from Milady's Fancy

Exclusively as a gift at the Striking Poses Boutique Stores is the elegant and sexy Ravel dress from Milady's Fancy. For a classy day look, it has a bolero jacket layer that is worn over the strapless bodice top and long black pencil skirt. Take it off and you have a sexy evening look. This is the outfit that really does take you from day into night. Don't forget to peek in and fall in love with the rest of the range at Milady's Fancy.

Body Doubles just keep on chugging out the sexiest shapes! From their Skin Specific Collection comes two new shapes for Free Speerit skins - Alice and Kimberly. There's nothing better than having a shape that compliments and works with the skins you invest so much time choosing and lindens buying. Check out the range of Skin Specific shapes at the Body Doubles mainstore and see if they have yours!

We have two new amazing stores in the Striking Poses Boutique family. Please help us welcome Ali Couture and Divalicious! I checked them both out yesterday and I was wowed by the designs and range they both have...as well as having a few nawty lusties over some of the outfits!

Thursday Yummies!

I'm a wee bit tired today...mostly cos I have been up since 5:30am with Miss Short, Evil and Blonde...so I haven't had the time or energy to do pics for today's post so I'll be using screenshots instead.

New to our Boutique Stores is Milady's Fancy. I'm totally in lust with the Alix dress in the pic and I know you will be too once you see it. Delicate lace panels run down the sides of a sparkly and sexy cocktail dress which is just the yummiest I have seen in a while. It comes in a range of colours for those prefer a more colourful look.

If you have been loving the Lady GaGa poses, why not grab the Lady GaGa shape from Body Doubles. She's saucy, sexy and always provocative and would be a great addition to anyone's shape collection. Or if you just want sexy, there's the new Nelly Furtado shape available now. Two very hot ladies and very hot shapes. Its a hard decision.

G Sloane Couture has been busy creating new and sexy things for us this week. One of my favs is Fit To Be Tied (pictured above). Is it a dress, its it lingerie? It can be both...sexy sheer silk ribbons of silk wrap around your body as a base, then topped by satin ribbons loosely draped, combined with a sheer chiffon skirt but also a solid coordinating underskirt so you can wear this in the boudior or at a gala. It comes in lilac and in black and is just gorgeous.

Not only does Core have cute accessories, furniture and photography...but now they have introduced a range of textures! These will look great as a photo background or for any other uses. Don't forget about the photo contest Core is running!

Pose - Catrinel Menghia #2
Wearing - I Dropted My Cupcake Tank ($35) from Gumdrop

I popped into Gumdrop earlier and saw the cutest tank top so I just had to have it! Its something all cupcake fans need to have, even if it has a very sad message on it - I dropped my cupcake. It comes in pink and yellow and jacket/shirt layer options. Awesome bargain! Check out the range of 80s tees, long stripey socks and other wonderful items at Gumdrop.

There's always lots of wonderfulness on the third floor of Striking Poses, so come on up and check it out after you stock up on Zelly's awesome poses.
