Blue Monday...

Once again, I have a post that I planned to have up last night. However, SL did not want to behave... I couldn't attach prims or rez. I was also crashing almost every time I would try to TP somewhere. Once I had finally managed to get everything together, my viewer kept freezing on me. So, it took me over 8 hrs to come up with 3 decent pics. Normally, this wouldn't even take 15 mins, unless I was playing around with windlights, different angles and  such... Oy! What made it worse it is that I have been meaning to post this amazing new jewelry set, from kyrha Bouscario of NHA!, for awhile now. Anyway, enough whining and on to the goods! These fabulous earrings and necklace, make up the 'Vanilla' set. There is also the equally fab matching 'Nasha' headband, which is sold separately. However, if you are going to grab the jewelry set, you simply must get this gorgeous headband too. kyrha prices her creations so reasonably (I think she should get a bit more, since she is so talented) that it would really be crime not to. NHA! is definitely one of my favorite stops for jewelry and I highly recommend that you check out all of kyrha's incredible creations. Here is your limo to NHA!: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Larsson%20Estates%206/242/77/23
FYI: I am wearing the new LAQ skin, 'Jennie 2', and I LOVE it! You must grab a demo for this!

A long hot Summer....

Wow! It has been soooooooooooooo freaking HOT is NY these past few days. These are the 'Dog Days of Summer' for sure! Despite the hot and humid weather, I do have some cool deals for you (Haha..I know, cheesy line..). I am wearing this amazing new dress from Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE. Not only is this dress fabulous, but you can get it a very low price at 'The Fashion Garret'. You definitely do not want to pass this number up! The hair I am wearing may look familiar, since it is a well known style from "LoQ Hairs", called 'Con Panna'. However, hair diva, Gia Pawpad, has just re-textured and re-released all of her past styles! And, of course, they are fabulous! I am also wearing some pieces of jewelry from Yula Finesmith of Finesmith Designs.These pieces, which you will see a close-up of, are part of the 55L Thursday deal. I know this post is playing it close to 11:59 SLT, so you better run and grab this before the day ends. There are also a number of other gorgeous items available for just 55L too. So, here are your limos....

Sad, but true, CH1C is finally coming to an end tomorrow. So, I would hurry-up and get there now to pick-up those last minute things.

So, with that said, take a look at this gorgeous  'Flowery' dress from Inex Hax of Peqe. The colors and textures are so lovely. Inex really has such a great eye for this.

There is still more to come, but don't wait for me, get over to CH1C NOW! I even sent a limo to CH1C: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tropical%20Bliss/232/247/1589

The Inspiration Series by Finesmith Designs

Yula Finesmith is always seeking new ways to showcase and wear jewelry. In fact, with the help of SL physics and a very creative mind, she has brought us jewelry that can be worn in ways that weren't thought possible. These latest creations are inspired my Yula's muses, who are mainly SL's most notorious models. Not only is this line fabulous jewelry, but can be seen as clothing too. What's makes this line even more excting, is that fact that each peice has a menu driven color/ texture changer. The looks are almost endless. Since, pictures speak louder than words, I will show what I am talking about. Here is Yula's 'Inspiration Series' ...

New from Finesmith Designs

Yula Finesmith just recently came out with an amazing collection of collars that were inspired by the top 10 models of the 'Finesmith Style About Challenge'. The first 5 pieces Yula created were inspired by:  Blackliquid Tokyoska, Arisia Ashmoot, Scarlett Loxingly and Elyna Carver. All five designs are just as gorgeous and unique as the models they were inspired by. Each piece has a  fully customizable script, so you can create any look imaginable. And, since I know you will love these collars as much I do, I sent you a limo to Finesmith Designs: http://slurl.com/secondlife/AMITYVILLE/64/64/2

The Most Intimate Moments......

Yula Finesmith has just released some amazing new pieces of jewelry, which once again utilize SL physics to create designs that are unique to this metaverse. Not only are these gorgeous pieces of jewelry, but they are amazing works of art as well. Yula is truly is a trend-setter, who is not afraid to challenge the ordinary. The first piece I want to show you is part of Yula's 'In The Flash Collection'. It is called 'Shpitz' and looks as painful as it is beautiful. Piercing the heart and soul. A very intimate element.

Next, is a necklace that definitely redefines the word itself. You have got to love Yula's unique and progressive thinking. This is called, 'Hope - Touch the Stars'. I literally feel like the center of my own universe when wearing it.

Finesmith Hope- Touch the stars

Then, we have a jewel for the forehead, called 'Tikara'. It looks like a veil/tiara hybrid, which is absolutely stunning. I paired this design with a set of Yula's new 'Painter nails', which have rings and tiny 'color change' gem stones on the tips of each nail. I am not one for prim nails, but these are definitely an exception. I feel these are more like jewelry than just a set of long painted nails.

Now, I am sure your interest is piqued by now. Yula's designs are brilliant and fascinating! Plus, every single piece shown has a low ARC color/texture script, that gives you almost and infinite amount of looks to create. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. So, do yourself a favor and take this limo to Finesmith Designs and see her jewelry for yourself: http://slurl.com/secondlife/AMITYVILLE/53/104/25

New Releases from 'HYPER CULTURE' & Finesmith Designs

Wow! What a week! We have had a lot of amazing new releases and a lot of very cool events happening. So, of course,I have some fabulous new releases to show you. I have an incredible new dress from HYPER CULTURE and some gorgeous and very progressive jewelry from Finesmith Designs.
Christensia Parkin has just created two new beautiful lace dresses, called 'Slecna' and 'Slecna 2', to add to her best seliing 'Black Lace Collection'.They are two ultra sexy, yet elegant, black lace mini dresses that are revealing in just the right places. These designs are a bit are 'see-through', but still maintain a sense of modesty (i.e., no need to cover-up the nipples).  Plus, Christensia gives you three different wear options for the panties, so you can decide how much skin you want to show. Both pieces are absolutely divine and expertly crafted. But, then again, I would expect nothing less from Christensia.This is the perfect dress for an evening out or you can just wear the top layer with jeans and jacket for a more casual look. They are definitely two new favorite items of mine. So, enough of my babbling, so you can check of 'Slecna' for yourself.

HC - Black Lace Collection - Slecna & Slecna 2

Stunning, right? So, do yourself a favor and grab this limo down to HYPER CULTURE and take a look at these two dresses in person: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fama%20West/158/196/24


Now with gorgeous dresses, come gorgeous jewelry. Finesmith Designs is one of the first places that comes to mind when I think of jewelry. Once again, Yula Finesmith has been hard at work, creating pieces that set the trends. Her new line of jewelry is called, 'In The Flash'. I like to think of it as, 'In The Flesh', since Yula has incorporated the idea of acupuncture needles into jewelry. Yula wanted to design something that only the physics of SL could uphold. This resulted in necklaces without chains and earring that plug right into the ear. This is definitely a first for SL and RL, at least to my knowledge, and the outcome is brilliant.

Finesmith- inThe FlaSh- Acupuncture -  Chest Piece and Ear Piece

Finesmith- inThe FlaSh- Deco-Ra - Chest Piece and Ear Piece

Finesmith- iNThe FlaSh- Victorian secret - Chest Piece and Ear Piece

The pieces are definitely unusual, but gorgeous nonetheless. As I stated before, Yula is a designer who sets trends, not follows them. These designs are perfect examples of her exceptional work. I know you will think so too. I took the liberty of sending you a limo to Finesmith Designs: http://slurl.com/secondlife/AMITYVILLE/53/104/25
One more thing that I forgot to add in the midst of my ramblings, is that all pieces have a low ARC color/texture change script for the metals and gems. So, the possibilities are endless!
