Slink New Skin Release

Slink is one of my favorite stores in all of Second Life, so when I heard that there was going to be a fashion show for the new skin releases I was really excited. You can imagine how excited I was when Siddean Munro contacted me and sent me an invitation to the show. Then when she dropped me a review pack of her newest skins, Isabelle, I couldn't try them on fast enough. I've taken a shot of 3 of my favorites in Sunkissed. Siddean has included freckles as well, and they are so nicely done. The cheeks look so rosey. Almost as if you're blushing. They look sweet and innocent to me. You really have to try these demos out to get the full appreciation for all the hard work that goes into them. Siddean has impressed me once again!

The Slink fashion show is Saturday at 3:00. Head over to the Slink mainstore to get your show pass, it's sure to be fabulous!

Skin Flicks New Releases

Mavis McGettigan has done it again.  She's had a massive amount of new releases this week, and I have to say they are all amazing.  Not only are they adorable dresses, but they have so many options and so many colors, it's sure to make you smile.

Gemma, shown here in white, is a gorgeous outfit that just screams summer.  I love the fluffy sleeves and they long flowing skirt.  The way it sits low on the hips is just sexy.  It's the perfect outfit to kiss the summer goodbye.

Ingrid is a dress that can be worn so many different ways it's sure to fit everyone's style.  Shown here with the pale pink blouse, it just screams naughty secretary.  The dress can be worn without the shirt, with just the vest for a sexier look.  Everyone needs a perfect black pencil skirt, and this one is one of the best on the grid.

Scarlett is the next outfit, shown here in Dusty Rose, and I have to say it's one of my favorites of all the new releases.  I love the flowy skirt and the wrap top with those sleeves again.  For those feeling even more daring, you can wear the top as a strapless top by not wearing the prim sleeves.  So many options.  This outfit also comes with pants as well.

The last outfit is the sexy Isabella, shown in black.  The skirt is the perfect length.  Not too short, but just short enough to show some leg.  You're sure to turn heads in this dress.  Mavis has outdone herself truly.

I don't know how Mavis finds the time, but she's also has a new skin release, and let me just say the face is adorable.  I'm wearing the Zuwena skins in Natural Beige.  You definitely have to grab some demos and try these on.  Each skin is sold individually, and the makeups are just adorable.

Head over to Skin Flicks and do some shopping!

Elate Goodness

Kellie Iwish, the beauty and brains behind Elate, sent over this gorgeous dress for review.  I've been a fan of Elate for a while, and love the cute flirty dresses that Kellie comes up with.  Elate was on my list of stores to spotlight so when I got an IM from Kellie asking if I would take a look at one of her dresses I was thrilled!

Danni is an adorable strapless dress with the cutest ruffled skirt. The colors are rich, and come in 4 colors:  Steel, fire, silver, and bronze.  The prim skirt fit like a charm, with no resizing needed, which is a plus.  You can't help but feel flirty and cute when wearing this dress.  Each dress is sold for $200 L.  This dress has quickly become one of my favorites.

If you haven't been to Elate, head over and check out Kellie's store.  I know you'll love her adorable designs as much as I do!

New Releases Pink Outfitters

RL has taken a bit more of my time the last couple of weeks, so that's why my blog has been pretty quiet.  My review folder keeps getting bigger, so I've told myself that I will blog everything in my review folder this weekend.  There are so many great designs from brilliant designers, they don't need to stay hidden deep in the bottom of my huge inventory.  Although, I did get my inventory all sorted and found so many review items that had gotten lost.  If you've sent me something and haven't seen a post on it, you'll probably be seeing it in the new few days.  I do apologize for being so unorganized, but I think I have a better system in place now.

Now on to the newness!  Pink Outfitters has become one of my favorite stores.  I knew the second I tp'ed into the shop that I would love it!  London Dailey is an amazing designer, and as sweet as can be.  She sent me over a sample of some of her new releases and I'm going to share them with you today.  First off, the Loren Sheer Blouse.  This fun and flirty babydoll is complete with a sash belt.  I had no trouble at all fitting the baby doll prim and usually it's such a pain for me.  It was socompletely easy!  The blouse comes in 2 prints, shown here in Leopard, and 4 solids.  The solids are a little more sheer than the prints, and are sold for $100 L.

The pants are the Rocker Pant, shown here in black.  These come on the underwear or pant layer, and can be worn as pants or as tights.  Absolutely adorable!  They are available in 8 colors and are sold for $145 L.

This adorable dress is the Silk Fluff Organza dress. This dress was inspired by the 2007 Mui Mui collection, and comes in 8 colors. The dress sells for $195 L.

Pink Outfitters also has a new line of skins, FFX3.  London sent over a sample pack of all the skintones and a makeup in each tone.  There are 7 different skin tones, and each skin tone has a different face and different body features such as freckles or moles.  There are 6 makeup options per skin tone.  The individual skins are $850 L or the fat packs are $4000 L.  I absolutely love these skins!  I'm a sucker for a tanned look and she offers so many tan looks to choose from.  Even the Creamy Ivory stole my heart. Definitely grab some demos and try these out.  For the price, you will not be disappointed.  I'm horrible at photographing skins, so I just chose my favorite, Toasted Almond, Java Bean, and took a snap of it.

If you haven't been to Pink Outfitters, I strongly suggest you go check it out.  The new releases are all 100% hand painted.  And the quality is wonderful.

Reviews and Spotlights

People have been asking what my review policy is, and I figured that it deserved a post all of it's own.

I often do spotlights on my blog of stores that I run across that I love.  I usually end up buying several things, and as a way to "get the word out" I blog about the store.  I love finding new designers and new stores and sharing.  If you're a designer and you'd like me to visit your store, please drop me a notecard in world with a little information about your store and a landmark.  I'd be more than happy to visit, and possibly do a spotlight.

I'm often asked if I accept review copies.  I do and I am accepting review copies at this time.  I appreciate any review items that are given to me.  Most items are to be reviewed within 24 to 48 hours.  Because my blog is featured on the fashion planet feed, I am frequently checking, and sometimes find that designers will give the same designs to several bloggers all at once.  For this reason, I might hold your review so my review won't get "lost" among the other reviews.  It's my intention to help designers in advertising and showcasing their latest releases.  

The best way for me to do a review of your items is to send a notecard with a landmark and allowing me to visit your store.  I really do prefer to look at all items and get a "feel" for your style.  

I always enjoy meeting people in world, and would love to meet with any of you.  If you'd like to schedule a meeting in my office, or at your store, just drop me a notecard as IMs do tend to get capped.

Thanks, and I hope this answers any questions you might have!

*Review* Adam n Eve Lily Skins

Sachi Vixen sent me over a sample pack of her latest skin release, Lily. I've always been a fan of Sachi's skins, with the shading and wonderful make up colors to choose from, and Lily doesn't disappoint. I chose Tone 2 for my pictures, since it's the closest to the tone I usually wear. Makeup Group 1 includes 4 makeups. Natural, Coffee, Nude, and the one I'm wearing Raspberry. I love the adorable lips. The body is nicely done, and looks very natural. The skins are sold individually for $1200 L, or in a fat pack of 4 colors for $3000 L. Go grab and demo!
