Wearing - Day of the Dead from Ali Couture

Unleash the bad girl in you with this super smexy leather outfit from Ali Couture. Tight leather pants are topped off with a great prim belt with bullets, cos you never know when you will need those. The open jacket is just stunningly designed and looks great on, especially with nothing underneath! In this, no-one will mess with you when you are tearing up the grid on your ride! In my case, my big wheeler! I'm such a rebel!

Oh Ali Couture is having a photo comp at the moment. You could win $1000 and be in the next new release picture. Pop into the Harlow store, pick up some stunning designs and take a picture of you looking sexy and fabulous in them and then pick up the LM to the main store and pop the full perm texture (named so Ali knows who you are) into the mailbox. I've already sent mine in!!!!

Wearing - August Dollarbie from Swim

If you didn't hear the news that Swim is having a 50% off sale at their Harlow store, then you must be living under a rock!!! Everything in store is half price this week only. You still have a few days to save big on the fantastic swimwear in store. Its Second Life after all, there's always a beach to explore and the weather is always fantastic!!! You can never have enough sexy swimsuits or bikinis to show off either, so run in and save save save at Swim!

Wearing - Gold Fishes Bikini from Exodi and Bloom Belly Ring from Flirt

I picked up this bikini from Exodi, and I just love it. Its perfect to wear with the Jasper Bloom belly ring from Flirt. The gold and green flower looks fabulous against the skin and is just the perfect finishing touch for a stunning bikini at the beach!

The pot at the fishing tournament got up to $1000 and everyone had a lot of fun fishing here at Harlow.

Some Summery Goodies!

Wow almost the end of another week and once again, I have some more great stuff from the stores at Harlow for you.

Pose - Alessandra Ambrosio #9
Wearing - Zebra Dress from Jazmyn D

A striking black and white print gives this dress its name. From Jazmyn D comes the Zebra dress and its just gorgeous! A strapless bodice with a solid black band around the torso breaks up the print and gives it a gorgeous touch. The skirt flows beautifully! Its the perfect summer dress for a casual or even a dressier occasion.

Pose - Glamorous Freebie
Wearing - Papillion Top and White Jeans from Dyn

If you are looking for the top with a difference, then the Papillion from Dyn is the one you have been searching for. The assymetrical design is simply gorgeous! The long side is balanced by the thicker shoulder strap, with a spaghetti strap holding up the other one. The fabric is just beautiful and really makes this a top that you will love to wear anywhere at anytime.

Pose - Charlise Theron #5
Wearing - Lilian Tank from Exodi

Tank tops are just the thing for hot summer days, and from Exodi comes the Lilian. Featuring a band of pattern around the torso, lace decolletage and tucked/untucked versions, this is one that you will wear again and again. The colours are stunning, as is the creasing effects down the stomach which gives it a more "worn" look.

Just a quickie post from me today. I'll be back on Saturday with the behind the scenes interview with another one of our Harlow designers, so look out for that! Don't forget the wonderful dollarbies and the great stores we have available to rent on Harlow.

Summer Stunners!

Summer is definately here! Temperatures are rising and layers are coming off as everyone enjoys some fun in the sun! To help with that, I have found some goodies from the stores on Harlow.

Pose - Candice Michelle Dollarbie
Wearing - Classic Blue Summer Dress ($75) from Amanda's Fashions

Sweet pink flowers dot over a soft blue fabric making up the cutest summer dress you will find at such an amazingly low price. Also available in pink and cream, the Classic Summer Dress from Amanda's Fashions is an instant classic indeed. Its perfect for wearing out on shopping jaunts, hunts or just exploring the marvellous Sims around SL. And at only $75 each, you can afford more than one. Also check out the rest of the range and see what else you can find.

Pose - Fergie #7
Wearing - Devil Inside (Store Gift) from Foxy Fashions

I love tank tops, especially with jeans. I found this super set as a gift in Foxy Fashions! I love the distressed fabric of the jeans, which look incredible on and have such great detailing. They are pedalpusher length (midcalf) and can be worn with sandals or boots. The tank top is my new instant favourite. Not only is it jacket layer (my fav!) but it has a cute "Devil inside" caption (which no-one could believe of me) and the texture is just stunning. Unlike most tops, it has a stretched knit look to it across the bust, giving it a more realistic look. For a gift, its amazing! Thank you FF!!!

Pose - Playboy 0309 Germany
Wearing - Knockout ($250) from Fashion Oasis

Aptly named, the Knockout gown from Fashion Oasis is a complete knockout! The picture I took doesn't do it justice at all. It has the sexiest lace detailing on the bodice and the skirt is something else as well. Its a gown you have to see to believe, and at only $250, how can you not snap it up? After all, its from Pixeldolls, which have some of the most sexy and detailed clothing in SL and are amongst my top 10 favourite stores.

Pose - Kate Beckinsale #2
Wearing - Harlow Daywear ($300) from Exodi

How could I pass up a stunning summer outfit named after the Sim I love? From Exodi, its a versatile outfit that can be worn as a babydoll dress, as above, with tights or jeans as a babydoll top, without the skirt layer as a short jumpsuit, or just wear the top with jeans as a sexy strapless tank top. Its four outfits in one, and lives up to its "daywear" name. You'll have trouble choosing between the colour choices when you add this to your collection. Its a must have summer item!

Pose - Krista Allen #10
Wearing - Romantic Dream ($199) from Rattenscharf

What could be a better way to end a hot summer's day than waiting for your special someone in a hot set of lingerie from Rattenscharf. Again its an outfit that lives up to name of Romantic Dream. Comprising of a sexy camisole and thong, it is elevated from the ordinary by the design and special little touches. There are deep red roses on the bodice and also on the thong to give it a romantic accent, and the design of the bodice which exposes some skin to tease and tempt is just incredibly sexy. It comes with the stockings and gloves, which have a lacey frill around the wrist.

We have a few stores still available to rent on Harlow and the most incredible opening bash planned for this Sunday, so you need to be in quick before you miss out. We're expecting a huge turnout of people who will see what Harlow has to offer and how fabulous our stores are. Do you really want to miss out on this exposure?

I'm looking forward to dressing up and celebrating the official opening of the Harlow Sim with Zelly, Ake and all the wonderfully talented people who have made this Sim home to one of their stores. I'm also looking forward to meeting some of our fabulous readers and customers, cos after all, where would we be without you? So mark July 12th on your calendars and come glam it up with us!

Wearing - Macy Bikini ($150) and Natalie Coverup ($150) from Exodi

I decided to explore the Showcase spots yesterday and stumbled across a gorgeous beach so I thought it would be perfect spot for a few pictures. I slipped into my Exodi bikini, threw on a coverup and I was all set for some relaxing time playing in the tide pools. I just love this coverup! It comes in two styles, sheer and non-sheer, so it can be worn over a bikini or as a sexy summer top. Its just lovely! The bikinis are a summer essential too. You can never have enough of these!!!

Pose - Vin Diesel #3
Wearing - Marauder Shirt ($169) from Karnal Rage

I just love a man in a buttoned up shirt, and this one from Karnal Rage is so yummy. It comes with prim sleeves and collar and just looks so fabulously sexy. The tribal skull design gives it the more urban edge that is the trademark of KR. Your man will look hawt in this shirt! While you're there, check out the ultra-sexy new jeans in store too. Phwroooar I get all hot just thinking about them!

Pose - Taylor Swift #6
Wearing - Faul Prank Shirt ($50) and Vintage Jeans ($99) from Amanda's Fashions

I love love love jeans, especially the worn in kind. These vintage jeans from Amanda's Fashions fit the bill beautifully. And at only $99, you can't go wrong! Team it up with the cute Faul Prank shirt and you have a cute outfit for shopping or just relaxing in this summer. Also in store are the cutest little summer dresses, and in the Harlow store, there's a special dress marked down to only $1!!!

Pose - Cam : Dita #1 Jordan : Xtina Gift #3 (no longer available)
Wearing - All American ($150) from Swim

Nothing better to do on a hot summer day than go fishing. Cam and I headed to the docks at Harlow and spent some time fishing with 7seas wearing our sexy matching swimwear from Swim. The All American set is just perfect for the 4th of July picnic with your partner, and as I mentioned in my previous blog about Swim, when you buy the outfit, the trunks for him are TRANS!!!! How fabulous is that??? You not only get yourself a fantastically sexy bikini, but you can share it with the man in your life.

As her tribute to celebrate the life and style of Michael Jackson, Zelly has marked down her Michael Jackson pose pack to only $50 for the entire fatpack of 8 poses. Thats right, you get the entire pack of 8 fabulous Michael Jackson poses for only $50. I'm not sure how long she will run this for, so make sure you run in and snap up this special asap. You will find it in the middle section of the store along with the new releases and other special offers.

Its been quite the week, so kick back and enjoy your weekend with some fabulous shopping and bargains. And never forget to let those who mean the world to you know it. You never know when you might lose them.

Bumper Store Goodies Issue!

It feels like its been a very long time since I have shared goodies from the stores with you, so hold on to your hats, I have a BUMPER issue for you today!

Firstly, a reminder of the stores. We've had a fantastic response to the Sim and now have a wonderful selection of stores for you to wander around and browse in. We still have a couple of rentals left, including the 4 gorgeous stores on the dock. Even better news....Zelly has put in a 7seas fishing game!!!! Omg I am soooo addicted to that! I'm never gonna leave Harlow now!!! Especially with all the fab stores and things you can buy there!

Pose - Kate Beckinsale #7
Wearing - Olivia Unikini ($150) from Exodi

Formerly known as Genesis, Exodi is the baby of one of the top talents in SL, Ryker Beck. I saw a picture of this unikini on her Plurk the other day and ended up in her store buying it, along with a few other goodies for another day's blog. Not only does Exodi have the essentials for summer, but there are also some of the most gorgeous skins I have seen in a while. I picked up the demos and am still trying to decide which one I was to buy. Its not easy when you have such fabulous choices! Exodi also has swim trunks for men, so guys, check them out!

Pose - Alessandra Ambrosio #9
Wearing - Firecracker ($199) from VTwins

Its no secret that a lot of people are in SL to make money. Whats less talked about though are the people who are in SL to make money for other causes. Every year things get harder for people to make ends meet, especially around Christmas. There's a special couple who stepped up and decided to do something about it, so every year they raise money so they can buy food and toys for the families in their town. The Feather River Toy Run usually this starts closer to December with cute little bears around in clubs and stores where people can donate lindens, but this year, they are starting early and using affiliate stores to help bump up proceeds. VTwins on Harlow is one of those stores. A percentage of anything bought in this store goes to help the needy families of Feather River this Christmas.

Pose - Ursula Andress Lucky Chair
Wearing - Charna ($225) from DollyRock

Another gothic inspired outfit from DollyRock. This one is a little more playful so I took a more playful picture. A sexy tank top with a skull and roses motif matches up with a cute little flexi skirt. Semi transparent knee high socks continue the motif with roses and leaves, or you can wear prim ankle socks in argyle. With this outfit comes a spikes armband and shoes to complete the look. DollyRock has always been a fav store of mine for good quality clothing at prices that won't break the bank, so check out the fabulous selection.

Pose - Lindsay Lohan #3
Wearing - Flame Sequin Dress ($250) from Dyn

Dyn has also been a favourite store of mine for a long time. With new sexy clothing coming out all the time, its going to stay a fav for a long time. This dress is simply stunning! I love the asymetrical halter neckline and the fabric texture is just something to be seen. Its a gorgeous dress for a very special night out with your special someone. Be sure to look around and see the other amazing designs Dyn has in store. You won't be disappointed.

Pose - Katherine Heigl Profile Picks (no longer available)
Wearing - Ballerina ($126 only at Harlow) from Jazmyn D

For all the budding ballerinas out there, you cannot go past the stunning new ballerina dress from Jazmyn D. A gorgeous corset top complimented by a lacey and stunning flexi skirt make this the perfect tutu for a pirouette or two. As a special Harlow opening treat, Jazmyn has taken 15% off all her stock in the Harlow Sim store! This will run for 4 weeks, so you can save even more off her fabulous low prices and stock up your wardrobe! Come on in and grab some bargains today!

Pose - Pink #4
Wearing - The Hidden ($249) from Ali Couture

I just love this highland inspired kilt outfit from Ali Couture. I was running around my home Sim screaming "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM" in a very Mel Gibson way yesterday. Yeah my neighbours already know I'm nuts, so no harm, no foul there. A sexy tartan bodice draps down over the chest, teasingly exposing a little side boobage. A ragged flexi kilt skirt with a fantastic belt completes the look and then you are all set to go off invading England! Hmm I watch Braveheart a bit too much I think! If you haven't seen the incredibly sexy and detailed clothing Ali Couture has, then you don't know what you are missing!

Pose - Carmen Kass #7
Wearing - Cupcake Crazy ($75) from T Junction

I'm a huge fan of the t shirts people come up with in SL. There's so many crazy, creative, weird, funny ones available. T Junction has some fab shirts at really great prices. You get all layers so there's never a layering conflict, which is very good if you are a tatt wearer or just like wearing lots of layers. Of course I had to get this one, since in some circles my nickname is Cupcake lol. Although I think my friends would say its the wrong way around and should say Crazy Cupcake. I have cheeky friends! If you are crazy about cupcakes (the baked goods type, or even me if ya like) this is the shirt for you! If now, there's plenty more to choose from.

This is only a small selection from the amazing stores we have open for you at Harlow! You really need to take some time to walk around and take in all the wonderful creations from the talented designers we have with us. If your other half is tired of being dragged around looking at stores, he can sit on the dock and fish for a while and let you shop to your heart's content!
