[Sale] [New Releases] Each to his own Sn@tch

Ivey Deschanel is the eclectic and versatile designer of Sn@tch. Beside being very talented, she is absolutely generous: not only her prices are very low, but she also often offers amazing store wide sales, just like these days: till Monday, everything in store is set to 50-75% off (new releases, gift cards and bargain pit excluded), and there are also some hidden freebies and 10-50L items. Will you be brave enough to find them?

Don't get confused by the dark look of the store: you will find many gothic items, of course, but also a huge amount of casual, boho, hippie, vintage and girly styles. Each to his own!

Don't miss the amazing bargains and remember that items at Sn@tch are sold in fatpacks, which makes the deal even better!

In this pic I'm wearing Whatever Lola Wants, a cute boho flavoured tunic that comes in 7 colors, and Camp Relaxed Fit Jeans in green, from Sn@tch. I'm also featuring recent releases from Wasabi Pills, the lovely mesh braids Kamiko, and from je suis..., the amazing je suis... voyante necklace and ring, in the gemstone version.

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).

[Hunt] [Sale] POE4 @ PurpleMoon + CheerNo

Furthermore, news about sales are aways welcome: at CheerNo they are selling body parts (skin, eyes and such) for just 99L, one week only. For male and female!
I fell in love with the beautiful Zuri 2's face, although it's darker than my usual skin, I decided I totally needed a tan skin, so here it is...!

Coat: PurpleMoon - Zorali Coat in Zebra - 0L (POE4 Hunt)

Hair Fair, New Stuff, Deals and Freebies, Viewer Talks and Random Nonsenses

My experiments and I are back! I gathered so much stuff in the past days that I will never be able to blog everything...events, new releases, special deals, gifts, things on Second Life run too fast! It took me a week to put together all this, so *Imperio* read! 

New releases a cute ensemble from The Sea Hole and exclusive releases at Hair Fair 2011 from AOHARU and Wasabi Pills (remember that when you buy something at Hair Fair, part of the proceeds goes to the charity organization Wigs For Kids) Also, an amazing retro pair of shoes from Donna Flora, that is not new but I totally love it, and a free outfit from The Sea Hole. 

Top & Skirt: The Sea Hole - Annis Top, (barley Sheer) mauve & Smocked Skirt - Coral - they are sold separatedly, they're available as an ensemble in the same color or you can mix and match among the offered colors as I did. The top comes in 2 versions, barely transparent and very transparent, and the skirt comes upper lace and lower lace versions. 103L + 117L.

Hair: AOHARU @ Hair Fair - Megan (espresso) - 220L (50% donation) 

Shoes: Donna Flora - Ilde Shoes (rose) - 350L

Since I logged in on Firestorm to try the new copy-to-clipboard-worn-stuff feature, at this point I decided to try shadows again. They are still unsupported, as the viewer itself warns us when enabling them, but I'm stubborn...and I managed to take this close up to show you better the lovely hairstyle...

...but then I dared too much...I knew it was better not to move my camera with shadows enabled, but I did it anyway. I took the pic, hit on save...and crashed! I was lucky enough to get this closeup on the shoes. The windlight setting I had on for the headshot messes up a bit the skin matching but I swear it was very good!! I worked a lot on that and I was very pround, but I didn't feel brave enough to try again... So I disabled shadows and relogged to take the rest of the pics!

Outfit: The Sea Hole - WeedTastic Freebie Outfit - free on the marketplace, belt and bag included. 

Hair: Wasabi Pills @ Hair Fair - Mochi Hair - Chocolate - 250L (not specified amount % donation)

Sandals: KIWI - Zimra Flat Sandal Black - 60L. This sculpt has been around for a while and since I'm a fan of the flat sandals, a bit neglected in favor of heels, I tried some of them even though I'm not crazy for the sculpt itself. This is the best achievement I have seen so far, it comes with a hud for skin, nails and toe ring (quite easy to use) and it's part of the Sixty Lindens Weekend. 

Exclusive release from EMO-tions at Hair Fair, new releases from je suis... and VERO MODERO, special deal from Dark Mouse. Let's have a look!

Dress: VERO MODERO - Dolce Maroon - 300L 

Hair: EMO-tions @ Hair Fair - Alice (dark brown) - isn't that cute? It comes also with flowers! 245L (50% donation) 

Bangles: je suis... - je suis... grande reds - 149L (all color pack 599L)

Jewelry Set: Dark Mouse @ Disco Deals - I like skittles too - necklace, earrings and bangles, 99L each. 

I think I talked even too much for today! Hugs to you all!

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.

Evie's Halloween Sales

Evie's Closet is a brand that, despite many generous gifts and events, rarely has sales on regularly sold items. That is why I advise you to have a look at the Halloween Sale that is running right now: every black and red item in the store, new releases excluded, is 50% off! Yay!
This includes also the discounted zone, where you can find awesome gowns for 75-125L!!!

I bought the stunning Melusine Gown in Blood, 300L (full price 600L)...





...and the beautiful Briony Gown in Henna, 250L (full price 500L)

Also, the lucky chair prize is still the Autumn Gown in purple, blogged here (at the very end of the entry)

GField is having a 50% sale on selected black and orange items. Lots of cuteness in that beautiful store! For now I bought some shoes but I'll probably go back there and get a couple of adorable coats.
Here's what I got, cute shoes that are also roleplay friendly IMHO!

*GF* Short Ribbon Boots "Anna" -black- & *GF* Bow Strap Shoes "Kate" -black- - 90L each.

Last but not least, at the right moment when I finished to picture everything, the cute Amber Skin, Izzie's group gift, dropped in my inventory, so there's a quick shot for her too!
