Cupcake Cutie March 10, 2009

I went to pick up the group hair from Dejavu and afterwards did a little wandering around the Cupcake sim.  Not only is the sim itself cute but there is a great collection of designers, several of which I hadn’t even heard of before and now totally love.

Uma Ceawlin (who’s blog I absolutely LOVE) has a tee shop.  Adorable kawaii kinds of tees for $50L as well as freebie and dollarbie available.

From Polina Kaestner I got the black corset, $40L, trench coat, $80L and sequined dress, $50L.

I had to buy this top from (faire) it’s $65L and the jeans are $115L.  I headed over to &bean and picked up a freebie sweater from there (which I forgot to take a picture of) and snagged the lm to their discount location. Several items there are 50% off.

I picked up yet another awesome plaid shirt for $100L while I was there.  The jeans I’m wearing are from {Zaara} and are my new favorites, they come with 3 different wear styles for the bottoms for $125L.

Half Off Sn@tch February 20, 2009

I sat down this morning and braced myself, 278 unread on plurk.  Really glad I didn’t mark all as read and glanced through them all, otherwise I wouldn’t have caught Ivey’s plurk about the 50% off sale at Sn@tch. I logged in and tp’d right over.  Sn@tch has tonnnss of really cute punky clothes, kitty parts and accessories.  All priced around $200L and that’s for either an entire outfit or several options of the item you’re purchasing.

The top comes in black, blue, brown, green, purple, red and white for $125L.  The awesome Atari belt is $25L and the shorts with leggings (which I lovee) are $100L and comes with 4 shorts options and 5 tights options.

Of course I had to buy the plaid outfit and was thrilled when it only cost $50L, happy dance.

So I went back to double check on prices and wound up buying more.  hahaha  The dress is $75L and there are 2 other versions of it also on sale which I had to resist to buy also.  The ears are $75L as well, 12 color options and mod so you can easily get the perfect match.  (Unlike me who just put them on)

The sale is this weekend ONLY, so go, go now….seriously stop reading and go.

Starting with the basics… February 9, 2009

Hi there!  This would be my first post here with plt and I’m pretty excited about it.  After scrambling around for a week trying to decide what I would write about first I settled on going in with the basics.

Now, in my opinion starting with a good top is key when putting together something on a budget.  For me I went to the ever popular Armidi and grabbed one of their v-neck style paris tees.  The reason I love this as a basic item is because the textures are really nice, it has some fantastic details like the worn print on the front and the notch on either side of the bottom hem.

The other thing that is always good to find is shoes that don’t break the bank.  It was so much harder to find that i thought it would be but, again, Armidi saved the day with some incredible basic canvas shoes in a lot of colors for the jaw dropping price of $195L.  Yep, they are even my new favorite non-boot shoes.

As for everything else, they are just great deals I found at the moment.  KIN’s hair sale produced the cool brown to red do I’ve got on and a.C Store has those freaking amazing scripted Adventure Jeans for only $50L to their group members.  WOW!  Naima’s cool Naimatrix Shades are free, which is just hella cool considering how well they’re made.

Adventure Jeans by a.C. Store $50L
Mairi Hair by KIN $100L
Emo Love Leg-tie by BROGEAR $95L
Improve necklace by BROGEAR $70L
White Paris Tee by Armidi ltd. $125L
Canvas Shoes by Armidi ltd. $195
Naimatrix sunglasses by Naima $1
Snake Charmer Bracelets by Gritty Kitty $75L

Grand Total:   $711L

I think thats it for this post!  Thanks everyone. 

Shopping Spree!!! February 4, 2009

(Elate!) is having a sale!!!!  I run inside, trying to catch my breath, and snap up the freebie glasses posted at the entrance of the store.  As I’m standing there, holding all my bags, thinking, “Where is a man when I need one?”  I run into a few girls I know both inworld and plurk!  <3 Plurk!!!!    I look like something from “Married To The Mob;”  only things missing are long prim nails and an open-mouthed-chewing-gum AO.

Humming Bird February 2, 2009

I love finding cute little stores, love it even more when they have things for super cheap. :]  Elana tp’d me to Ladybird where the entire store is $1L except for the furniture I believe.  I’ve heard it’s a going out of business sale but don’t know for sure, so may want to check it out soon.

I hopped up on the desk to take a picture and instantly thought of the scene from Dead Poets Society.  Being a spaz I made sure to shout in local chat “Oh captain my captain” to which someone 46m away shouted back “wtf?”

I also went to Humming after sneakily inspecting people’s outfits while stalking a lucky chair, shhhhh. Everything there is $30-50L and there is also a lucky board that flips fairly quickly.

The skirt is from the Humming lucky board, the shirt and socks are part of the parka outfit from Ladybird.

I’m a huge fan of both plaid and argyle.  I bought the socks (from Humming) without even thinking.  A brown and grey pair come together for $30L.  The tunic top is also from Humming and is $50L.  The cute little cropped jeans are from Ladybird.

Silly, geeky, cute February 2, 2009

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a cute, and relatively new, hair store at Dogtown called ::Inorite::.  Really cute quirky hair.  Today until Valentine’s all red and pink styles are half off.  Leaving the price to be at, or a little above, $50L.  Violet also gave out a cutesy cupcake hair as a group freebie through her SOM.

The eyes I’m wearing throughout this post are a freebie from Geo Shapes. I met the owner last night and he is super nice.  There are also three 90min camp chairs at his store that offer a copy/no mod female shape.  Rylan and I were drooling over the guy shapes and became instant fans of the girl ones.

The oh-so-cute glasses I’m wearing are from Spoon! I went there in search of a raincoat and found several really cute things.  As far as I could tell everything is $69L. There is also a freebie shirt setting out that my inner 10 year old totally loves.

The jeans I’m wearing are from *Fishy Strawberry*. The color and detail on them is fantastic, one of the most realistic pair of jeans I’ve seen.  At $125L they’re a good add to your inventory.

As if my collection of hair wasn’t hogging up enough of my inventory, my collection of dresses isn’t far behind.  This is also from Fishy Strawberry and also $125L.

On my way out I caught these leggings, part of a Valentine’s freebie set out as well as a cute heart shirt.

Plurkers and Rockers February 1, 2009

Leah McCullough posted a plurk for 2 new dollarbie shirts she’d set out at her store, .: Naive :., that were specially made for plurkers.  I ran over to get them right away.  They are super cute.  More for the girls but very well could be worn by the guys too.

The shorts worn are from *BOOM* $175L but soo worth it.  One of my favorite pairs of jeans.

Browsing the store I found these cute cropped pants.  They could function as both dressier pants and a sort of lounging pajama pant.  There were a couple other cute pairs as well. Each for $80L. There’s also a lucky chair but I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn’t get a chance to check it out fully.

The necklace I’m wearing is a group gift from BooN.  Fairly simple and just as good for guys as the girls. The sign for the necklace as well as the group joiner are right next to each other by the main tp point.

Thanks to Jesslyn for the heads up about a huge $25L sale going on at Rockers Wear.  I’m not sure when it began or when it’s ending so you may want to hop over there soon just to make sure you don’t miss it. It’s not only clothing, accessories and tattoos are also on sale.

The jeans worn in this picture are also from BOOM.  They’re ultra low rise, skinny fit and prim cuffs.  Also $175L.

This is actually one of the guys shirts but it’s obvious that I needed it. lol
