This stunningly beautiful dress is called ‘Vita-Chamber’ (+5 points if you can guess the reference!) and it’s one of three exclusives from Dead Dollz for the event. The other two dresses are just as beautiful of course with ‘Rapture Rise’ featuring a really pretty silver design and cut-out back and ‘Little Sister’ something a little bit sexier with short black and pink lace! So head over to Opium Evolution and grab yourself some pretties and enjoy a good show!

This week is the final week for some events this month such as The Arcade and The Skin fair so if you want to get your last-minute shopping in, best do it now! But next week we’ll be seeing more events opening up such as the Cutie Moon fair and Fit for a Princess, so watch this space because I’ll be covering both for you!

Thank you to my friend Zee for helping supply a few of the props and furnishings, I don’t know what I’d do without my Home and Garden goddess! If you have a flair for interior design or if you’re addicted to Trompe Loeil then you should definitely check her out. She also covers fashion occasionally too so a little bit of everything! She’s also incredibly funny and a fantastic writer ❤

Love, your Anti-Valentine

Dress: Chic Zafari – Femme fatale Bianca gown
Shoes: Fri.day – Amelia heels (New!)
Mannequin: Follow us – Adam

Just as I was about to hit the hay last night, a Slurl that I had been eagerly anticipating for a long time was posted on Malena Scordia‘s Flickr, announcing the new collections that had arrived at Chic Zafari. The Femme Fatale collection is designed for sexy yet elegant women in mind with flattering gowns and dresses whereas the Work Bitch collection is aimed more towards dominant, powerful ladies and features strong lines and pencil skirts aplenty! I’m not totally sure if the Bianca gown you see here is part of the new line of releases (I’m going to assume yes since I haven’t seen anybody else wear it, and it is named in the Femme Fatale collection) but it sure is absolutely stunning. 100% rigged mesh, 5 standard sizes and a bunch of different colours to choose from too. You have never seen me run so fast in high heels!

I’m pairing this sexy gown with a pair of simple ruby heels. The Amelia heels have arrived fresh from the last round of Collabor88 into the Fri.day mainstore in five new colours you haven’t seen before. These are a slink mid feet add-on so you will need to purchase those first before you can wear these shoes as they were not made to fit the default avatar feet. Since the dress makes such a statement with its vivid red lace and sexy cut, I definitely didn’t want an overkill by added statement shoes too. These Amelia heels do the perfect job while still looking classy at the same time!

Skin: Glam affair – Elvi
Hair: Lamb – Pocket Knife (C88)
Jewelry: Lazuri – precious
Skybox: William Weaver – Build 002 (free)

Finally, the build I’m in is a marketplace freebie created by William Weaver. I wanted something that looked grungy and edgy as well as casted great shadows on the inside. This build certainly did the trick huh? I will warn you though, it is an enormous build and the rezzer that comes with it didn’t seem to work entirely so I had to unbox it and place each piece down myself (don’t worry, it’s a simple enough task) and I actually had to scale it down by quite a bit for the photo (again, no problem since it’s mod). But nonetheless it did its job well and it will probably assist me with future photo shoots!

Sweet like Chocolate

December 16, 2013January 9, 2014Xanthe 1 Comment

Skin: Glam affair – Elvi
Hair:Mina – Noor (50% off)
Jewelry: Lazuri – Esme (Group gift)
Top: LPD – Candy Top (Wonka Hunt)

Hello Sweeties! There’s an awesome hunt going on around the Grid called the Wonka Event Hunt! Lots of awesome (and very Haute Couture) designers are taking part and offering sweet and chocolatey goodies for you to grab for free! I’m showing off this great peplum top you can get from Les Petits Details! The way this hunt works is that the hunt gifts are split into two parts. In this case, the belt for this top is hidden somewhere at the LPD mainstore and the top itself is hidden somewhere at the KV Dream Fashion Agency sim so you have to visit both locations and find both lollipops in order to complete the hunt item! I’m so thrilled with this top though, Turquoise and chocolate is one of my favourite colour combinations so I ran out to grab it as soon as I could! The Wonka Event also has a special discount store where all the exclusive items sold are no higher than 400L$! And to top it all off, there will be an awesome fashion show going on at 1pm SLT on December 19th featuring pieces from all the fabulous designers at 50% off! Now if that doesn’t tingle your tastebuds then I don’t know what will.

These fabulous boots from Eudora are a free group gift for this Christmas. I thought they went so beautifully with the rest of my outfit I just had to show them off. The textures are incredibly detailed and the mesh is just so realistic, boots like these could easily cost you 900L$ but no, totally 100% free. The Eudora group is free to join and I don’t know when these gifts will be taken down so better grab ’em while their hot! There’s even a men’s gift too so don’t worry fellas, we aren’t leaving you out in the cold!

Antlers: Bokeh – Candy dipped antlers
Pants: Mutresse – Dupla ruffled leggings
Boots: Eudora – Steampunk boots (Group gift)
Bag: Axix – Oh! Deer bag (Suicide dollz)

Finally, Lazuri has this very pretty jewelry set out for those who have joined their group. As always with Lazuri gifts, you get the entire set (Earrings, bracelet, necklace) with many different colour change options. The catch is the group is no longer free to join, so if you’re not a member you will have to fork out 250L$ to get in. But I totally think it’s worth it, Lazuri are extremely generous with their gifts and pop out new ones very regularly, not to mention you get to take part in group only sales on new release items before any other regular customers! Bonus!

Pearls, lace and hot coco

December 5, 2013January 9, 2014Xanthe Leave a comment

Skin: Glam affair – Elvi
Bag: Le poppycock – Winter tote (25-for-25 hunt)
Boots: Beetlebones – Fowler laced up boots (C88)
Skirt: Coco designs – Lace skirt (50% off)
Poses: Imeka – Lu (TCF)

There’s only one thing I love as much as florals, and that’s lace! So when I saw what lacy delights Coco designs had going for 50% off at their holiday sale, I filled up my virtual shopping basket with as many pretties as I could carry! All mesh clothing for regular avatars (Coco doll avatar clothing is not part of the sale) are half price until December 15th. I nabbed myself this pretty sweater with lacy collar, a matching lace skirt and this cosy fur tippet with pretty pearl chains, all for so cheap you wouldn’t even make a dent in your bank balance!

Ink’s new hair over at this round of The Chapter Four stole my heart away with its cutesy bob and optional headband. The band even comes with a HUD to change the material, and one of the textures just went with this outfit so perfectly I couldn’t resist. Also at TCF are these cute ‘Lu’ poses from Imeka. I spoke about them briefly in my last post but now you can buy them for yourself for a discounted price for the duration of TCF!

Hair: INK – Appyo beige (TCF)
Tippet: Coco designs – Fur tippet & pearls (50% off)
Sweater: Coco designs – Cropped sweater (50% off)
Coffee: Keli’s place – Caffe mocha (9L$)
Bracelet: Lazuri – Classic pearls (10L$)

The sweet Olivia Lalonde of Le Poppycock sent me a box of goodies today and inside were these adorable Christmas tote bags! You get 3 in the pack and they’re only 25L$ for the 25-for-25 hunt which goes on until December 30th! Each design is as cute as the last and all feature a very Christmassy bell on them. 3 bags for just 25L$ is a steal in my book!
