Over The Rainbow- Easter Hunt

I am SO late on getting this out! Sorries!

Easter Egg Hunt now on, FIFTY Easter eggs to find all containing generously donated gifts for everyone!  And just ONE special GOLDEN egg, one per day only, for only one lucky finder!  All are welcome!  Hunt is for 10 days from today!  Please be sure to also check out our tenant's stores, there's amazing beautiful KittyCats and other cute critters waiting to be loved and adored!

There are some really great gifts involved. Some items are directly for Kittycats (beds, pedigree givers, accessories for your kitty) Some just have an Easter theme (egg tree, decor), some of are fun random items for you and your home! (a hot air balloon, snuggle pillow, [Blossom] Aubrey strapless Dress in special lavender) and of course some items that combine cute, rainbows AND kittycats! ([Blossom] rainbow tulip top with Hell-o My kitty denim shorts)

This weekend has been horribly busy so I don't have pictures of the hunt items but I hope you will still stop in!!

OTR Landing Point

There's a [Blossom] Over the Rainbow

Well to be precise, [Blossom] has re-opened it's door at the Over The Rainbow Market!

Oh my gosh , you guys, so exciting!

First off let me tell you a little about [Blossom]. For those of you new to things I opened [Blossom] a few years ago. Due to some RL changes and my mainstore sim being closed, [Blossom] shut down in July of 2013. At the time I wasn't sure if or when I would be able to open again.

This past week has been a whirl wind of excitement, chaos and well stuff I don't need to air in public!

Thanks to my amazing family on Cali, I was given the opportunity to re-open my store. I've got tons of mesh and scultped clothing and shoes.

To celebrate our re-opening I have created a brand new dress for you all! There are 6 great options, each at a low price of 100L!

You will Find 3 basic color options and 3 floral top options! I really hope you enjoy!!

You will also find a brand new group gift in store as well as many older group gifts/freebies out for you too!!

The group is 25L to join and please be sure to wear your tag!

You can find the new [Blossom] Main store Here!

------
And now for the big news!!!!

My family has done something pretty cool. In fact they took a life long dream of mine and started making it a reality.

Over The Rainbow Market!

Over the Rainbow Market is a full service family friendly sim. You can look forward to a kitty/animal market place with seceral different sized stalls and stores to meet everyones needs.

There is also a Lovers Lane for Kittycats! Have you got a cat looking for a mate, or perhaps just too many cats to hold on to? Renters, you can sell your live and loveable cats on the cute little mushroom garden. Lovers lane is located in the enchanting Fairy forest. There are hidden snuggle spots for those romantic (but G rated) outings.

If you are like me, gachas can really break the bank sometimes! Be sure to check out the Over the Rainbow Yard Sale and kiddo playground! There are current stalls for rent as well as some items already set about from the most recent Arcade and Woodland creatures gacha events! Grab a stall and start selling!!

If you happen to be looking for a little time out, check out the various views around the sim, you can explore an old lighthouse, browse the up and coming Market area- home to [Blossom] and Coming Soon Mars~is~a~cloud and Soul Shards. Offered near by is a fun dock filled with all your needs for a little Neo Realms Fishing!

This is a really special project and we hope you and your family will stop by and enjoy it as much as we do!


There are tons of great things to see and explore on this sim! Stop in soon!!

For rental info- grab an open stall and contact one of the owners for a tag. If you need a specific stall or option contact AubreyG Bracken for your rental needs!

I think My Desires are Pretty Reasonable, Don't you?

Be warned these may be a little bit NSFW for some!

I've been so behind on the 12 days of Lingerie that it didn't even seem right to continue.  I have so much adorable lingerie that I got a littler overwhelmed with myself trying to sort and remember. So imagine my surprise when Austie from Reasonable Desires passed me a fatpack of some of the total cuteness shes got available right now!

Pictured Left: Delfina @ 99L , Pictured Right: Valentina @ 50L & Trans until Feb 15th!!

Shoes: [Blossom} Relptilian Funk- Aqua & Beat of my Ruby Red Heart (Gatcha Item Available Until Feb 14th!!!

Also...

FREE UNDIES! Austie and Marti are so awesome that they have put this adorable 3 pack of cute heart covered undies out for free!!

 

Little bit closer! I was having such PC issues this afternoon!!

I'm pretty sure this is the closest to naked I've ever gotten on this blog! Almost makes me break out in a cold sweat.. phew.

What's say I put some clothes on before we continue? Sounds dandy to me!

Who Likes a Sale?! I do I do!!

Hello Lovelies!!

[Blossom] Is in full bloom and boy do I have Goodies for you!

Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good deal or sale. With that in mind it seemed a bit silly for me not to offer the same things that I love in my own store! This means I've been working super hard to make sure you all get a little something special!

1. Valentine's Sale!!  ❤❤❤

50% off select RED, PINK & PURPLE Shoes in store! This means select styles and colors are marked down to 125L & 150L! Sale Starts Feb. 9th -Feb 14th
**Custom orders do not apply**

2. Valentine's Day Gatcha! ❤❤❤

4 never before released styles for 50L per try! Unlike most of my items, these special gifts boxes are transferable before being unpacked so that you can trade with your friends or just give a gifty away!

3. [ Blossom] Group Va. Subscribo... Which do you prefer?

I'm debating between which to do, or both? Thoughts anyone?

Hope you all enjoy the new items and what not!

Make sure to pop in and at least grab the free gift ! -Here-

Until Next Time! XOXO

LOTD: Skinny Budget 4 Lisa Frank style

Afternoon lovelies!

Does anyone remember the awesomeness of Lisa Frank?! When I was a kiddo Lisa Frank was all the rage. Bright colors, awesome patterns.. stickers, stationary, you name it. It was all a pretty big deal if you had all the sets and such.

Anywho I was doing my normal blog snoop when i stumbled on the latest posting from Freebies for Cece. I won't lie I immediately reverted to a small girl and fell back in love with Lisa Frank all over again. The dress Cece was showing was literally something out of  the Lisa Frank handbook for adults. Loves.LOVES

I absolutely had to scoop this dress up and I was even more amazed to learn it was a FREE group gift from *CK* Crazy Kitty!!! I hopped on down and immediately my eyes were overloaded with bright funky color combos. If you are into that sort of deal... this place is for you. There are numerous group gifts, lucky chairs and prize things all around.

 

Because of the bright funky nature of the dress I kept everything else a bit simple this time around. I decided to pair it with the freebie item I have out at [Blossom]! 

Oh yeah...Remember I last mentioned I'd decided to make shoes? Guess what?! 

Great Outdoors

Hello my lovelies!

As I mentioned in my last post I'm in a redecorating mood. SO when a little birdie told me about an amazing outdoor decor sale I just had to jet on over! Nature's Touch Nursery is going out of business sadly. The store was set to close a few days ago but lucky for me it seems to be extended until Nov 30th! About 99% of the items are set to free. That means ever blade of grass, every tree, every stone along a path or water is free!! FREE! The one thing I lack in my inventory is decent trees that aren't 10 prims or more. I snagged some amazing pines here for 0L at 5prins a piece!!

 

I'm pretty sure I bought one of everything as most things were Copy/No Mod/No Trans! Just as I was about to being worrying about carting all my goodies home I was thrown for yet ANOTHER loop. Another LM? A WINTER zone?! OMG. Be still my heart.

 The only things not for sale here is the sky-box, snow on the ground and the cabin. Fear not though, this cabin is stuffed with gift boxes, lights, and tree decor! <3

Over 60 transactions later I struggled and shoved 2 semi's worth of inventory back to the house. I wonder how much I can fit on our little plot?! GC's going to have a fit!

Until next time! XOXO

LOTD- Just a little something

Hello lovlies!

I just wanted to share today's look with everyone. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it honestly. Aside from the skirt I'm not showing much new or unseen.

Check it out!

Worn:

Sweater- Mon Tissu
Undershirt- Jane (Old Subscribo)
Skirt- Ingenue (this past 50L Friday item.. was still out as of an hour ago)
Boots-[ E]

I putzed around with the beige skirt and a blue sweater but the combo wasn't quite what I was hoping to be. Also it should be noted that this skirt is mesh. It comes with glitch pants and a mesh piece that is only between the legs to give that super tight effect. The mesh comes in two different sizes and there is a demo available for anyone still not sure of mesh fitting yet!

That's all for now darlings! Have a good rest of the weekend!

Until next time! XOXO

Newbie Style Challange-Get your newb on

As we all know I adore blogger challanges. I especially like a challange of making an avatar from scratch using a budget. If you haven't guessed by now I am a huge lover of anything cheap or free. I do spend money in stores but I also thing a healthy amount of gifts entices someone to spend money as a 'Thank You' as well as allowing a person to sample items without wasting money on something that might not be quite what they had hoped.

That being said when I saw Gogo of Juicy Bomb had started the Newbie Style Challenge II, I was Super excited. You can read the rules and such -here-

If you have spent any time in SL with me then you know I have an alt addiction. Most recently I cut back to those linked to anything I still do in SL. There was a time when I would create an alt just to 'make her/him over'. I would hunt all over SL just to prove I could make an avatar that cost 10, 20, 30L..even free. SO the 550L limit for this challenge sounds like a fortune.

I started out as a brand newbie with a new alt I made. I decided to make not one but three looks in total.(I may do more in the future! keep posted)

Look 1:

 

Worn:

           Hair: D!va- Group gift (there are tons here + free group join!)   = 0L

Scarf: Mr. Poet- Store Freebie (Boxers also + 2 Lucky Boards   = 0L

Dress: Riddle (+ 2 shirts Gift @ Fab Free HQ-TONS of goodies) = 0L

Boots: Vinyl Cafe (Dollarbie a day location- past  are 50L now)  =50L

total: 50L

Look 2:

 

Worn:

Hair: D!va- Naomi 20000 members (Group gift)    = 0L

Necklace: Milady's -  (Marketplace)                       = 0L

Dress: Entre Mares - (Fab Free HQ)                       = 0L

Shoes: Maitrya- Subscribo Gift                               = 0L

Total: 0L

Look 3:

 

Worn:

Hair: D!va - Haruka (Group Gift)                       = 0L

Sweater: ~Sweet Poison~ - (Marketplace)        = 0L

Skirt: JANE - In store Gift (Tons others too!)     = 0L

Boots: COCO- Group Gift (Tons more!)              = 0L

Total: 0L

About My Body!:

Shape: Made by me :)                                               = 0L                    

Skin: Mamboo Chic- Lucky Board       = 0L

           Eyes: TechnoLati- Hazel Blue on Marketplace         = 1L

 Total: 1L

Over all Spent: 51L !!

Additional Notes:

I also snagged some great things that aren't sp easy to see! Oracul offers one of the BEST freebie AO'S I've seen. You can snag it at the Fab Free HQ. It comes with a male AO as well and it's Copy/Trans!

The poses I used were freebies from Fab Free HQ and D!va (upstairs)

When making my looks this time around I wanted to focus on quality. Any old person can find a free outfit (If you can't then you deserve a smack upside the head ala Gibbs on NCIS.. :D). Rich textures and decent attachments make an outfit better than the system layer snoozer! The hardest things for me to find was decent hair (I tend to be ultra picky normally) and shoes. I never did go gaga over any of the shoes I found but oh well. Granted I could have used a chunk of that 550 to buy shoes or hair but I was more focused on an actual newb shopping.

Also noted: I could have made this super easy by doing hunts and current sales but I thought it smarter to show items that may still be around months from now!

Taking it one step further:

One thing we most often overlook is something as simple as a profile pic. Often spending 10L to upload is a big deal to someone new. (This is for anyone not using SL V3). During my quest for poses or photo studios to make a profile pic I found a rare gem. Studio Focus is a new photography location just getting started. As a special offer to new patrons they are doing one free shot to new group members. You can join the group - here-  and contact Sunnyboi Canis or Savannah OHare! (I'll be doing a write up in the upcoming days on these two so stay tuned if you are interested!

Check out the pic Savannah did for me:

 

Until next time! XOXO

Shop till you like Mesh

I'm really feeling very over Firestorm's issues lately. I don't know if it's me or something on their end but goodness is SL sucking for me right now. I've been crashing at nearly every TP, lagging so baddly at my own house I end up on the other side of the Sim. Suffice to say in the past 24hrs SL has decided to HATE me.

I tried rocking a non-mesh beta viewer and it worked briefly until all the items I snagged to show ended up being mesh. and then well. GRR. Anywho.. Hold onto your panties ladies because I have been shooooppping!

Picture 1: Tights, and Mesh Dress: Jane (Dress is on sale this weekend for 50L! There are 2 other colors available as well as goodies from various other stores on the sim!)
                Shoes:Leverocci @ The Dressing Room

Picture 2: Dress: Raspberry Aristocrat: (50L weekend item as well! There is a hair available too!)

Picture 3: Dress: PurpleMoon: Group Gift (Gloves and Fuzzy Collar included)
                Shoes: N-Core @ The Fashion Garret

Monday blues but Not so much

I've done a few posts already about Collabor88. It's not often I can step into a hodge podge store with a bunch of different offers and walk out with a ready made outfit. However with the newest Collabor88 collection that is exactly what I did!

Worn:

Outfit- Tres Blah-  C88 Mellow Dress- Blue/White
Hair: Lamb!- C88 Girlfriend in a Coma- KitKat
Necklace- Artilleri- C88 Wenche Necklace- Pink

Non-C88 Items:
Shoes- N-Core Group Gift (Comes Black with white dots and white with black dots-hud option!)

The days begin to mesh together

Hi lovelies! I'm so so sorry I've been gone! The good news is I have a new computer so I can take slightly less glitchy pictures and actually travel around SL without crashing every 2 seconds! This is so exciting!

On that note I did want to share an adorable find! All over the grid the stories of mesh are overflowing. This post will be no exception! I've mentioned Jane's goodies already!

If you are looking to try mesh out for free make sure to grab free gift from SLink! They were kind enough to offer an adorable pair of dark wash jeans to test out!

Also if you are more into the girly fashions Hucci gave out this adorable gift!

Squee!!! Isn't it faboosh!? If you are a member of the subscribo it was only given out a few days ago! Also given over the past few days was a cute golden cut out dress (not mesh) and a 50L gift card! So so generous!

PS. Can we all just take a moment to admire my MUCH less glitch-ed pictures!? Yay video card of awesome <3 My hubby spoils me so

LOTD-August 16

Warning: Mood overload

I woke up in a foul mood today. No actually, that is not true. I was pushed into a foul mood. I'm going to rant for a few minutes before I get to the actually pretties to show ya'll, kay?

1. We have new SL neighbors, who put in a giant stone mountain complete with water, tiki huts..oh yeah... and ban lines! SO now every time I sit at my cottage I see yellow flashing lines. PS. I live on a farming sim... I wasn't away stones, or beachy stuff were farmable.. maybe pet rocks but.. come on now. And these ban lines.. honestly do you think you are so all important that you have to ban everyone?! Because aside from eyeing up your ugly build.. no one cares.

2. Said neighbors: wandering all over my property. This I don't get. You ban everyone but think it's perfectly alright to fly up a couple thousand meters to hover ourside my sky boxes. Weirdo.

3. For the first time in a week it isn't raining in RL! This is actually a good thing.. except I'm supposed to be getting our front steps replaced..4 days ago. I was assured they would be done no later than the 12th. Guess what, it's closing in on Noon and not one worker is here. I have company coming next Wednesday,Thursday AND Friday. Oh and I'm supposed to be getting married on the 20th, so I'd like to be able to leave my home to get to said wedding.

Rawwwr! End rant! Now for the goodies! Yay! Thank you all for listening!

The skirt shown was an awesome find from a new store for me! Blanche's Boutique offered up this playful flouncy skirt for the OCIO Xtreme hunt. You are looking for a little surfboard with an OX!

The ripped denim shorts shown and the full outfit are just two of the MANY gifts from the Oh Boi! Event. There are events going on all week long, giveaways, shows, live music and so much more. I've blogged this twice already so I won't go into crazy detail. The items shown above are generously donated by the sponsors! All items are hidden over the sim in little red lips. Incase you don't feel like searching too much the shorts from from Nytro and the full outfit was donated from House of Europe! Happy hunting!!

Now I think I'll go back and shoot laser beams of anger at the new neighbors! Happy weekend!

Give it Away

I've been part of the .: Give It Away :. group for a long time now. While many groups come and go on my list I've managed to hold onto this one. I like the idea behind it really. Within reason we as members as well as some designers offer items up for grabs in the group. For the most part it's the whole " one man's trash is another man's treasure" idea. Sometimes there are gifts or lucky chair calls, anything to help each other out. I'm totally digging helping and bartering lately.

Recently in the group one of our faithful members was kind enough to offer not one but TWO gifts to add to our wardrobes. I'll be honest. I'm often leery about clothing given out in groups not owned by a designer.. Sometimes things just don't live up to my expectations. I guess that's why it's okay that it's free though!

Color me surprised when I actually LIKED what was given! Though one outfit was more on the masculine side, I really adored the shorts and tank sets! I just had to show them off!!!

I like to think these are just two looks of a very diverse me!

Worn: Left:

Hair: Shag- Black Jack- Powder -MHOH item
Outfit: !GR!-Stripped jeans and tank- found in GIA group notices- Comes w 3 tanks!

Worn: Right:

Outfit: !GR! Lovely Shirts and shorts- GIA group notices
Hair: Love- Native (banged)- fatpack w/ hair accessory- Please Make This in SL -Group gift

Please Make This in SL is a really fantastic idea! It allows us as customers and or designers to post RL ideas we've seen and would love to have in SL. The idea is that hopefully it will spark the attention of a fab designer or even a new designer out there and encourage them to make the items we post. You can check out the blog and flickr for more info or to submit some things you'd like to see out there! The native hair shown was one of the ideas brought to life! <3

Also, please note: the GIA group is by invite only. If you would like to join the group to try out trading, bartering and gifting I would be oh so happy to invite you! Just shoot me an IM inworld or any of the amazing members!

OR (because I'm awesome and let myself get harassed by land rental ppl just to help you all out!- You can join the group of the clothing creator! She also sent them to her store group as well. whew- deep breaths- If you are interested the owner also has freebies and lucky boards in her store as well! Yayness!

Nap Time

Hiya folks! So so sorry to have been a bit of a flake lately! I was actually in the hospital! Yuck, I know right! I'm feeling much better now even though I didn't really get any answers. I hate condescending doctors.

Anyways, in honor of my slightly mussed RL look and feel today I'm making it pj day here on the blog! Check out some comfy looks!

Worn:

Outfit: DCNY-Racerback Set- Vermillion and Grey- Truth District Group Gift(Found in store)
Slippers: Friendly Jonsons (Bunny Slippers) Free on Marketplace (Pink &White versions included)
Hair: D!va- 2nd anniversary hair- Onyx- Group Gift (Free to join! TONS of group gifts and lucky boards around the store!)

That's all for now! Going to catch a few ZzzZzz's!

Shine On

Guess what thrifty fashion folks?! Shine is having a 50% off sale for all their military inspired looks! The sale is a limited time only deal but no specific end date has been mentioned!

With the 50% discount prices ranged from 45L-150L for various pieces. If you are looking for even more steals there is also a great purple fringed military jacket as a group gift. There is no fee to join the group!

Happy shopping!

Formal Complaint

When you are new or even just low on fund like me, finding good quality formal wear takes time and a bit of hunting. If it were not for the generosity of some amazing formal wear designers a lot of us would be walking around in hand me downs and badly textured trends from 2006!

I make it a habit to grab any good quality formal dress I find because you never know when you have a red carpet worth event to strut for! I was lucky enough to find a fantastic dress today for only 1L and I also have been saving one look just for this occasion!

If you happened to read back a bit I showed you the upper part of Gizza's male anniversary gift. This gorgeous creation is it's female counterpart! The details on this dress are amazing quality. The sexy slit, delicate floral and lace details are one of the best quality gifts I've found in a very long time. Both the gown and the male tuxedo are group gifts that you can get -Here! There are also tons of other free group gifts around as well!!

The second lucky find was this pink vintage gown. I love the soft flowy feeling of this dress so so much! ViLada is a new store to me. I'm sure a lot of you have already passed through but this was my first time finding this store. Imagine my excitement when I found she was offering this gorgeous confection for only 1L for a limited time only!! If you aren't into gowns there is also a group gift set along the wall behind this gown!

With these two gowns as a starting off point there is no reason anyone should remain formally unfashionable!!
