Truth District & The Sea Hole

After giving a little break to my graphic card (the poor thing was hitting 75°C, no wonder each SL viewer crashed after 2 minutes), I'm slowly trying to catch up with all the stuff I left behind.

For obvious reasons, my shadows experiments are temporarily suspended: I managed to take a pic with enabled shadows at Truth District (that is a really amazing sim and it will be a great setting for pics once the crowd is gone) but after the overheating I didn't dare to enable them again. Now, yesterday I installed the new Firestorm beta, so I'll probably try again at some point...wish me luck!

Talking of Truth District, some of the most amazing designers on the grid have a spot there. I'm sure you already got all the gifts, so I'll point your attention on a store that, my bad, I didn't know, but that was instant love: The Sea Hole. I'm featuring a beautiful retro flavored dress today, but I will shop more for sure: they have a lot of the boho-vintage stuff I totally love, as well as more casual and cute styles.

In case you haven't got the gifts yet (but I don't think so...), they are still available at the moment I'm writing here.

Dress & Jewelry

When I logged in this morning, I received from Modavia subscribo a pic of the group gift from The Secret Store available on the sim. Since I really like The Secret Store, I couldn't miss it!

Bohemian Souls - Part II

After an unbelievably busy week, I am back to write here! I have some very beautiful things to share but it took me ages to take all the pics and to find the time to edit them.

My bohemian mood is still there, fed by some beautiful releases all around the grid.

In the end, I gave up to to the amazing hairstyle by Lelutka, Rykiel, that makes me feel so wild and free! 

PurpleMoon have just released a collection called, guess what, Boho! You can find it in a small separated house in front of the main store. It totally meets my taste in everything, and picking colours was soooo hard, all the shades are amazing! Also, some very good deals are available for us all!

Bohemian Souls - Part I

I suppose it's rather evident I have a weakness for everything that looks even just a bit boho or hippie. So I decided to share some of my insanity with you today, keeping in mind everyone's budget too!

After seeing the post by Fauna, I had to get my Mist dress from VERO MODERO.
The one I picked is called Africa, bringing the flavour and the awesome colours of that land. 350L.

There are also cheaper ways to go in boho mood. GField sent to their group the cute Puff-sleeve Top & Maxi Skirt, a sample of their new release (no group tag needed). I matched it with the cute and totally free Classic Flats in Gold from Baby Monkey @ The Free Dove, that are available in other colours and together with the Classic Pumps.

More bohemian to come...

the.oBscene is back with many gifts and deals!

Second Life is being evil and keeps crashing if I try to take pics, so this will be just a message.

the.oBscene have just reopened their mainstore inworld. A group gift is available in the notices (150L joining fee), almost everything in store is set to discount prices, including the latest release Jezebel. Furthermore, there are 4 dollarbie boxes, marked 5L and 1L, containing two dresses in different colours and skirt options, a set of swimsuit and tattoes on clothing layer.

Check it out!

Shoes News!

I am totally addicted to shoes as probably every single girl in the world is. But I'm not the stiletto-all-the-time kind, nor the sneakers-all-the-time kind either, I simply love many different styles of footwear and today I want to show you something that is worth to check out.

Hoorenbeek just put out February's group gift, the Winter Boots in lilac. The group doesn't take a group slot, if you are subscribed already just tp in the store and click on the vendor. If you haven't joined yet, just do it (the board is next to the freebie) and come back after 2 weeks to get your new gift! Besides this single gift, being subscribed to Hoorenbeek is very useful: new releases are sold off sale for the first 2 days, and many random 200L sales are often run (regular prices are around 500L so it's a very good deal!)

I fell in love with the Vixie sandals, from the MANA line by Nardcotix, since the first moment my eyes met them, but the price prevented me to buy them immediately. Still, they stayed in my heart as a forbidden desire (lol) and finally I managed to sell my soul I heard about 40% off sales and decided I couldn't miss them. I still think they are quite expensive, like many shoes of the same kind by other famous brands, but I am spoiled (lol), I can't resist a bargain and I'm happy to find finally the same care always granted to heels on those beautiful flat sandals, they totally hit my gipsy-hippy heart. They come with a hud for skin matching and other options, gems and strap are colour change. Check out the Nardcotix sales to find them, together with many other styles, flat, wedges, stilettos, everything.
