A Lovely Strand

The Strand is a brand I had never heard of prior to Hair Fair. I am glad to know them now though! The styles are very elegant and well sculpted. The textures are soft and shiny, the blonds are glamorous and the overall feel of the styles offered is elegant with a bit of whimsy.I recommend these styles for all you fancy updo needs :) The dress is a freebie from Ivanka Akina at Hair Fair. It comes with a sculpted rose decoration on the belt but I am not wearing it in the photo. I love the little lace bolero! The skin is an amazing hunt gift from CStar and while you can't see it well in the photo because of the sepia treatment just know it has bright colors, great cleavage and is well made all in all.

Newbie Freebie Style Challenge!

I spend a lot of time blogging freebies over at Free*Style so I think finding free stuff is pretty easy for me. GoGo pointed out that a lot of new players, however, are not aware that there are so many items for under 20L out there! Almost every store these days has a freebie or cheapie out and they are often quite wonderful so I wanted to share my some of my current free loves! First up, a look for the sexy avatar (we all know how so many n00bs end up strippers, dancers, etc. and often look fug. Class it up ladies!)Then we have a look with a darker skin, since I know those can be hard to find at all, let alone free!Then finally a little flapper-esque look just for fun.Worn:

"Kitteh" for a Day

Sanura Snowpaw of *Dreams* tossed me this outfit (the result of a collaboration between Sanura and Ivey Deschanel of Sn@tch) and I dug the purple-y goodness so much, I figured I'd give the neko thing a shot.
Captain Kitty comes with the adorable hat/ear combo, scripted tail, and a complete outfit. It can be worn a variety of ways and has several layer options. It's only 275L for the whole shebang, and it's a 100% donation item.
I paired it with cute candy-adorned flats and a diamond studded ring from Glitter Trash, and piercings from Lolapop! which have scripted tintable pieces. The posture collar came with 2 attachment points, so it was easy to wear with a jacket collar!

The Alternative Fair is still going on. Get down there, make a donation, and make a difference.

A Sn@tch A Day... Day 3: Alone

It appears my Sileny has deserted me tonight. This makes me very unhappy.
Rest assured, when she returns... She will pay.

Isabeau is plotting revenge in:

Hair by House of Munster
Skin by Free Speerit (Elizabeth)
Poses by a fine line.

Sileny is under the weather. Send her good thoughts so she can get well soon!

Yes, Mistress.

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
