Another Manic Monday!

Its another week and I have a blog full of great things to show you today!

Pose - Love Notes Hunt "Love Stinks"
Wearing -
Reveal Thyself Garters from Snatch

If you haven't checked out the Love Notes Hunt...omg you don't know what you are missing! 10 Hearts are hidden around the store and each one contains a pose and little note to hold. With V Day coming up, they are great for expressing your sentiments. Its also a perfect time to show off your sexy lingerie. This set from Sn@tch (link broken) is one of my all time favs. With 5 corset colours in the pack, you have a new one for every night of the week...and on the weekend, its open season!

Pose - Pulse Racer #4
Wearing -
Free Speerit Kimberly Shape from Body Doubles

Another dazzling addition from the Skin Specific Range at Body Doubles is Free Speerit's Kimberly. Its a gorgeous shape that shows off the skin to its best, cos after all, we spend enough on them, so we should always look amazing!

Pose - Working the Camera #6
Wearing -
Exotica 2 from Magnolia

A huge Saints fan, Jessica has made some sexy outfits in their black and gold colours. I love this one, Exotica 2. It comes with many options, and I'm just showing one - hotpants worn with the half skirt. It also comes with a full length skirt, mini skirt, long pants and you can just wear it with the hot pants as swimwear or hot clubwear. Check out Magnolia (formerly Dance Creations) for more awesome clothing at amazingly afford prices.

Pose - Working the Camera #8
Wearing -
Tornado Weather Skins from YoLo

As her contribution to the Haiti Relief Funds, Anik from YoLo is giving the proceeds of the Tornado Weather skins to the Red Cross. In darker skin tones, they are a nice addition to any skin collection, and you are doing something good when you buy them!

Black Leather & Copper Set from Jazzy's Home Furnishings

A nice addition to any home or business are the new table and chair sets from Jazzy's Home Furnishings. Available in three varieties, there is bound to be one that suits your home, and they will definately suit your budget! The chairs have two male and two female poses, just perfect for a dinner party with another couple.

Check out the hunts we're involved with, the fab stores you can find on the sim and maybe find yourself a new place to set up your own store. We have vacancies!

Monday Goodies!

Another Monday and another month. Wow February already! At this rate its going to be Christmas again before you know it.

From Harlow this week I have found some awesome things to show you.

Pose - Hello Lover #9
Wearing -
Finger Trix and War of the Roses from Snatch

Great big fangirl "squeeeeee" moment! I have been a huge fan of Sn@tch (link broken) since I stumbled across it a couple of years ago. Since then I have managed to almost buy out the store and every new release day, you know thats where you can find me. With a reputation for being a bit of a goth/vampire/neko/alternative store, many people haven't given it a chance, but its branched out into clothing for anyone and everyone. The value is fabulous, as is the designs. You don't just get one colour when you buy an outfit - you receive whole fatpacks of colours for under $300. Worth checking out!

Pose - International Model 14 #2
Wearing -
Pluto and Europa from XTC

Valentines Day is coming up, and nothing says "love" like a sexy leather teddy....to me anyway. I'll be buying them for myself this year, but maybe you have a sexy other half to buy this for, or buy it yourself and wear it for them. Either way, it will add something to your night! Check out the range of sexy leather teddies in XTC asap!

Cafe Table and Chairs from Jazzy's Home Furnishings

Nothing beats kicking back and relaxing, and a finishing touch to any home is a cafe set where you can enjoy time with someone special. Complete with a male and female pose on the chairs, this set is just the thing...and at only $39 from Jazzy's Home Furnishings, you cannot go wrong!

Pose - Hot Chica #7
Wearing -
Colour Me Stars Tatt from El Oh El

El Oh El is back and while I was looking around, I stumbled on this cute tatt which is their epic week one giveaway. Its well worth check out as by the sounds of things there will be a new one next week, the week after that etc. There's a MM and some cute items in store for you to buy, so check them out!

Want a store with us on Harlow? Come by and check out the vacancies. We have not only a fab build, but access to our subscribo, Rhianna who works her tail off planning fab events for the sim and me to blog your wonderful goodies.

Monday Shopping at Harlow

I have a couple of new stores to share with you today that I found when I was zooming around the streets of Harlow and a couple of old favourites.

Pose - Wet Dream #2
Wearing -
Purple Corset from Alexandre

Alexandre has some gorgeous clothing in store and I was drooling big time as I window shopped. There is a wall of sales items too, which is where I picked up this baby. I don't have enough purple in my wardrobe and we all know by now, I am a sucker for corsets! Swing by and check them out and see if you fall in love with them too!

Pose - International Model
Wearing -
Opana (gift in store) from Kissed by Lithium

If you don't know Kissed by Lithium, you are missing out on not only a store with a fun name, but some stunning, fun and creative designs too. I spent a bit of time there too adding to my wishlist. See if you can fine something for yours...or maybe you will give in and snap yours up!

Pose - Snow Bunny #9
Wearing -
Destroyed Tank from Foxxy Fashions

I like Foxxy's Fashions. Its another fun, flirty, sexy store full of gorgeous dresses and mix and match seperates for you to create your own looks and style. I'm shocked however at the insinuation that this shirt is just so perfectly "me". Shocked I tell you! There are different captioned tanks in store, so see which one is you!

Pose - Pulse Racer #6
Wearing -
Renaissance in Red from Silk & Satyr

Silk & Satyr have done it again. They have designed yet another gorgeous and elegant gown to add to their growing collection. Renaissance is simply stunning. With a form fitting bodice that skims down over the hips before flaring out in a slim skirt. With ruffles at the cuffs and on the bodice and back, its another winner!

Wait until you see the new poses Zelly has just released. I can't wait to see what Ake comes up with this week to show them off. They are some of the best poses ever!!! I know I can't wait to play with them!

Fairies or Angels ... its up to you ;)

Hello People,

I feel like the wicked witch of the west, ”I’m Meeellttttiiingggg.. Meeellttttingggg”. Can you believe that it is 37°C today!!! OMG and we don’t have any air conditioning systems, not unless you are in an office or shopping mall… but not in the homes here, were to far away for those things.

Anyway I want to show you the original pictures that Zelly was inspired by to create these amazing Fairy poses, from her “Fairy Essence” collection.

The Fairy Essance Inspiration

Not only for fairies! All you angels can use them too, just like I did! And here is me to show you my angel point of view :3

Pose Number 10
Awaking

Pose Number 08
coming

These poses are adorable, soft and very feminine, I am sure you will like them as much as I do.

Oh, I forgot to remind you all in my previous post about the shapes we have available. So there we go I have reminded you all that we sell shapes! Bryony was the last one and the shape is perfect for models as it is Stylish, tall and pretty ;)

Monday Shopping at Harlow

And I'm back with a couple more awesome things from our stores at Harlow to share with you.

Pose - Carribean Shimmer #3
Wearing -
Exodi Sienna Shape from Body Doubles


From the Skin Specific Collection, the Exodi Sienna Shape from Body Doubles is one of the stunners. They are one of my favourite skins and I have a huge collection of them, so having a shape to show them off is awesome!

Pose - Attitude #4
Wearing -
Femanimal in Snake from XTC

This was one of the first outfits I ever bought from XTC. I just fell in love with the snake texture of the top and tend to wear it with jeans or leather pants and it looks amazing. It comes with a cropped leather jacket, chaps, bikini pants, gloves and the snake texture shirt. Check out the others in this range. They are works of art!

Yellow and Blue Flowers in Blue Tub, Copper Butler's Table & Lilies and Roses in Silver Pot from Jazzy's Home Furnishings

Flowers add the finishing touch to any home, and Jazzy's Home Furnishings have some beautiful ones to dress up your interior or exterior. The add a dash of colour that will liven up your space, be it a mansion or simple skybox.

Pose - Catty Girl #8
Wearing -
Shoe & Accessory Hunt Gifts from RRS

If you haven't heard of RRS, then you are missing out. They share a store with the fabulous Dance Creations and many of the style work with those designs to make a matching set of clothing and shoes. They are taking part in the Shoes and Accessories hunt, so I thought I would show off their hunt prizes. For the men, the Snake Lost Cowboy Boots will be a great addition to their footware folder. And for the ladies, the Boho Fringe Boots in Mauve are going to look great however you wear them, so check out the hunt and check out the shoes!
