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.

Tuli-scrumptious February 25, 2009

I’m a bit surprised I haven’t seen a bunch of stuff about the hunt on Journey, the mainstore of Tuli.  Lots of really good items from various designers on the sim Amerie’s Naughty, [NOP], Violet Voltaire, Flirt, Dark Mouse, Jimmy Chau, Fine Pixels, Attitudes, Tuli, G-Field, CoLLisions, DelEmma Design, xoxo Ania and Step Up.  You’re searching for golden gift boxes, there are usually several in each store and some are quite difficult to find.  After several days of working on the hunt here and there I think I have almost all of the items. So if you need any help, feel free to ask :] Here are a few of the things you can get.

[NOP] Guys shirt.  I threw on the first guy shape that popped up in my inventory to try this on, Kenzie doesn’t look so hot with washboard abs.  Needless to say his face was kind of ewww so I cropped it out haha.

[NOP] Red top,  Tuli Crop sweater

Amerie’s Naughty

Jimmy Chau.  I actually have a pair of pumps just like these in rl <33

The background tiles are parts of the gifts from xoxo Ania.  There are lots of more goodies to be found including a skin from Tuli and some cute jewelery.  The hunt runs until the 28th so you have a little time before everything is gone.

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.

PixelDolls Sale Continues February 11, 2009

Earlier this month Rylan did a post about PixelDolls having their lingerie on sale for $50.  I received a notice today about the salon section now also being marked down. I tp’d over and was thrilled to find that the majority of the store is still $50.  May not have been the best idea to use the store card I received as a birthday gift today, but after beating the vendors with the card, a stick from Dinalya and a piece of wood with a nail in it from Katey I eventually was able to buy some things.  I didn’t get a few of the items that I purchased probably due to massive lag, but here are a few of the items I did pick up.

The one thing I love the most about PixelDolls (aside from the quality) is that there are so many different styles available.  Something for everyone.

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. 

Vain Hunt I February 9, 2009

Ok so I know TONS of people are covering the Vain hunt as well as the other hunts but I wanted to give those that read the blog (hugs to you all :]) a look into what I thought were some great items from the hunt.  Several friends I have spoken to have talked about skipping around only to stores they knew to save time and also the hassle of deleting things they received that they didn’t want.  Hopefully this will help a few of you with your selective hunting.

So this outfit soo doesn’t match but I wanted to keep items from the same stores together and each of these pieces is really cute.

#133 FG Underground

I’ve been wearing the above top all night.  The detailing with the zipper is really good.  Best part is not only do you get the green version it comes in blue, purple, pink and red too.

#143 *Kuso*

Instant favorite when I opened up the PixelDolls folder, I have a pantsuit very similar to this in rl and I almost always get complimented when wearing it.  lol

#43 PixelDolls

I’m not really a gown girl but I actually really liked this one.

#13 Gracies

<3 these socks.

# 180 World Wide Industries

I’m glad that in sl if I wanted to walk around in public in my panties I so could.  This set from Tokeo Plastic makes me want to do just that.  Hope no one minds that my butt shows a little . o.O

#9 Tokeo Plastic

That’s all I’ve really gotten to for now, as I go through the rest I’ll continue posting.  Then on to the next hunt!
