[Event] Back to Black - Look #01

Back to Black is the new event organized by CHIC Management.

It's an awareness event about mental illness, thought to help in spreading our understanding about it instead of judgement.
Please note, it's not a charity event, proceeds will go to designers.

In the next days I will be showing a selection of articles I like, trying to cover all the themes the event provide.
It will run from February the 11th to February the 29th, 4pm slt. 

First look. Visit the Back to Black venue to get the items!

Italian Pride, News and Sales!

Apparently my year hasn't started at its best... My RL is still very messy and, the cream of the crop, the desktop had a nervous breakdown and needs to see a doctor.
In the meanwhile, I'm trying to survive in my Second Life on my laptop, very uncomfortable to take pics and such but there's no choice at the moment!

My first post of 2012 features recent releases from two great Italian designers, Berta Avro & Bubi Bolissima of Severed Garden and Hlin Bluebird of Al Vulo!

Ylenia, worn here in the shade "sky", is a full outfit perfect for winter times, including shoes and hat. Other color options are available as well. Check the details, I love them!

Sakia is one of the newest faces at Al Vulo!, shown here in the fair tone. Each make up comes with blonde and brown eyebrows, with and without hairbase and cleavage. Other tones available in store.

Outfit: Severed Garden - Ylenia Sky - 250L (550L the fatpack of 4 colors)

Skin: Al Vulo! - Sakia porcelain - selected make ups.

The picture is not postprocessed besides cropping and minor adjustments, taken with windlight sky "Nam's Optimal Skin 2".

The hairstyle I'm wearing is from Raspberry Aristocrat, which is having a 50% sale together with all the stores on the Zyrra sim, including JANE. But you should hurry because it's almost over.

Other interesting hair sales are running at Amacci (85L the color pack) and Heart Softens (39L the color pack).

Sn@tch - Hunt & More

But Ivey Deschanel is a talented and eclectic designer, she masters perfectly many styles, including some of my favourites, like hippie, boho and vintage. Furthermore, her prices are more than generous: items are sold in fatpacks only, the average price is 250L. A neverending sale!
Yesterday I received a notecard about Sn@tch prize for the Stash Bash Hunt, and after looking at the pic I couldn't resist a sec and went to grab it. I'll take the chance and show you some other recent releases as well!

Second post dedicated to the Fashion For Life event. All the outfits worn are available at the fair, donation items will be marked with a red *DONATION ITEM* writing.
Thanks a lot to all the designers that provided me promotional copies, you make my life easier!

Today I want to share with you a great deal offered by the generous Mirja Mills from EMO-tions.

Fashion For Life - Part 1

You all surely already know about Fashion For Life, Anthea talked about it already here, so I'll try not to overwhelm you with the same info. What I want to do is explaining you my plans about blogging the event.

I have received several review copies from many generous designers, I have bought tons of stuff myself, and I'll try to show you the biggest part of them. I will post at least 2-3 entries about the fair during these days and I will try to focus my attention mainly on the donation items, that are many and very beautiful. I will also feature some regularly sold products, but the donation ones will marked with the red word "DONATION".

Last but not least, you may want to know about the hunt and the gatchas that you will find at the event, with all proceeds going to the charity. Directly from the organizers notecard:

"* What's going on with the hunt?
The hunt will feature items priced 10-100L and hidden in the shops of participating designers. All proceeds from the hunt items will go to the American Cancer Society. You can find more about the shops on our website at http://fashionforlifesl.com/forpatrons/hunt-slurls-and-hints/

* And what's with the gacha?
The gacha is a new thing this year. For anyone who doesn't know what a gacha is, it is a vendor that randomly offers one of the items in its inventory when paid--kind of like a bubble gum machine. Many of the designers opted to participate in the gacha this year, offering 6 items per vendor, all no copy/transfer so people can trade and share. Each sim will have a gacha area with gachas that were created to match the theme of the sim. All proceeds from the gachas will go to the American Cancer Society."

On a side note, there are 9 sims full of great stores. The landing point is set into the store that is sponsoring the sim, so you will probably need to walk a bit. Please understand sponsors paid a lot of money, so they deserve you to have a look at their spots even though you're looking for something else. Just follow the red arrows to go to the pointed items! In case it didn't work, here's a list of where each store is.
Last but not least, the sims are awesome and I really hope you will be able to enjoy them. Low lag outfits will help you about that!

Thank you very much to all the designers who kindly sent me promotional copies, and to all those who put awesome items in their donation vendors, giving their proceeds to a cause that touches us all.

Now let's go with the great stuff!

Scarf: je suis... - Je suis...chaude grey - DONATION ITEM

Bag: je suis... - Je suis...insouciant black - DONATION ITEM
