Mesh Around Hunt Previews!

Hey! I have something fun to tell you about! Now, you may have heard a little bit about this crazy thing called mesh… it’s been around for a while now, and if you know anything at all about SL fashion, you know that mesh is EXPLODING as a design material. So many designers are moving into mesh territory, but there are still quite a few SL residents who are hesitant about mesh. With this in mind, an all-mesh hunt called Mesh Around was born!

This hunt is a GREAT way to grab a few mesh items to try, see how you like them, fall in love with mesh, and then go buy ALL THE MESH EVER!! The hunt will run from June 1-15, and will be grid-wide.  Wanna see a few of the great things that you’ll be able to find?

This fabulous beaded necklace is from Aura. I love it because it is bright and summery and, being mesh, it moves WITH, not THROUGH my av. Also, this adorable skirt from Pepper will be out for you to find. The skirt is rigged, abut the pockets are not, so you can wear one or both (or neither) and you can reposition them if needed. I love all of the details of the items in the pockets. I could definitely see wearing this to the beach, and not having to bring a purse!

Sidebar: I also want to mention this new !lamb hair though it is NOT in the hunt. I seriously love every new mesh release !lamb comes up with. They just keep getting better and better.

Stumblebum & My Attic @ The Deck

Summer is upon us (in the Northern Hemisphere) and it couldn’t be more evident in the SL fashion world. So many fantastic designers are coming out with adorable summery releases! Take, for example, this outfit from Eclectic Apparel. This colorful mesh outfit is out for 25% off the regular price for Stumblebum until May 28th. There are all sorts of bright colors available in the shorts, so hurry over to E! and grab the fatpack before they go up to full price! Also out now is this absolutely precious hair from Exile. Tbh, Exile hair doesn’t usually look good on my av, and I’m not sure why. I always demo them, and I walk away hairless. NOT THIS TIME! I was sooooo exited that this hair worked for me. I love it very much, and it just screams summer. Even better, this style is out at My Attic @ The Deck for just 95L per color pack until May 31st. So, hurry up and grab at least 3 packs. You know it’ll be worth it!

Culture Shock is almost over!

Hey everyone! I’ve been MIA on the blogging front lately. RL has taken precedence as I wrap up the school year with my little ones and train for two 5k events I’m participating in this summer. Super craziness! I have not forgotten you, though. Hopefully my schedule will calm down a little bit soon and I can have a little more time to share treats and pretties with you!

Just a quick reminder that Culture Shock is STILL open! However, it’s only until May 26th, so make sure you get over there and pick up those last few items you’ve been eying! The CHIC team has been asked if they can make it to 2million $L… remember that 50-100% of ALL sales go to Doctors Without Borders. What a fantastic excuse to do more shopping!

Here’s a  nice, casual look for today. I have seen this ISON cardigan around a bunch of times, and a few of my friends own it. I kept telling myself to go buy it, then I’d forget again. BUT I finally FINALLY remembered, and it was definitely worth the wait. It fits and moves perfectly and just looks sooooo cozy and classy. Now if only I could get it out of SL and into mr RL closet… hmmmm…

A Good Kind of Blah

I have been on a Tres Blah kick lately, maybe you’ve noticed? I honestly think that I will eventually own every item int that store. I’m trying to pace myself. Today, I’ve mixed and matched some stuff. This is a tank I’ve shown you before (here), paired with the skirt part of a dress I’ve also shown you before (here).

This skin *dies* is the newest release from Glam Affair, available here. This is the first time I have ever fat packed a skin, but seriously… every single version is beautiful and amazing and I could not choose. I honestly loved (and still love) Leah, but Giselle just blows me away.
