Lightning Strike…

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

…And Xenobia is sitting at home without an internet connection.

All is well, except her ISP is still trying to restore service.

She apologizes for the interruptions and anxiously awaits the day her DSL comes in.

STILL FIFTY5 LINDENS

Friday, August 19th, 2011

I should have posted this yesterday for Fifty5 Thursday sales, but I am perpetually behind. The hat, Rachel’s Straw Hat from Xen’s Hats, is still 55L and will be until Sunday. It has a color-change hud that lets you recolor the hat and band separately, so it can match anything in your wardrobe. I’m wearing it with two of the Fifty5 Thursday items from Finesmith Designs—the Nola bracelet and Nola collar, both in silver. Yula usually extends her 55L price beyond Thursday, so you can probably get them, as well as the pieces in gold, for another day or two.

The hair and dress and some coordinating shoes came from the Collabor88 event going on now. The dress came in a sampler of Grixdale items that are a goodbye to Grixdale.

The pose, from BehaviorBody, is from a set of free hat poses—one of several free gifts available right now. BehaviorBody also has a sale going on for a few days.

FIFTY5 THURSDAY AUGUST 4, 2011

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

Fifty5 Thursday at Xen’s Hats and Finesmith Designs started at 7:00 a.m. SLT today and will extend to 7:00 a.m. SLT Friday. Yula set out ten different colors of fingernails, each 55L. She also set out, as a group gift, a bag with four bracelets she made and never released.

Xen’s Hats has only one hat for 55L, but it’s a hat with infinite possibilities. Click on the hat to resize it, and wear the hud to change the color to match any outfit you have on. I love that!

The photos below show the ten fingernail choices with the four gift bracelets and the hat in ten color combinations. Go, shop, have a great time. LM to Xen’s Hats. LM to Finesmith Designs.

ENTRE MARES FASHION SHOW

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

The owner and designer of Entre Mares, Sykao Adamski, is sponsoring a fashion show Saturday, August 8 at 5:00 SLT.  This is a show you won’t want to miss. Here is one of the gowns in the show. I love the drama the shawl creates. It’s an elegant gown in a gorgeous mottled rose color with a rich gold metallic pattern. I feel like a million Lindens when I wear it.

I’ve coupled the gown with my all time favorite necklace from Finesmith Designs, the Inspiration Xenobia. Yula is having a moving sale, so everything in her store is 50% off. The sale includes this color-change set along with everything else in the store. Pop over and stock up on Finesmith Jewelry today.

PREVIEW

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

Yesterday I showed you the Rosy Top Hat in black with a purple band and white roses. Today I’m showing you the very same hat that I used the accompanying hud to recolor the band and roses in a hue to compliment the blouse. I could also have changed the hat color, but I liked the look of the black with the taupe. The hat will be on sale for 55L tomorrow for Fifty5 Thursday. The hat is out already, however, for 150L in case you can’t wait.  Whether you want it now or want it tomorrow, follow this link to Xen’s Hats.

The earrings are from the Black Joy set at Finesmith Designs. They are on sale right now for 50% off their regular price because Yula wants to clear out some inventory before she moves later this month. (I love that excuse for having a moving sale in SL.) Here is a link to Finesmith Designs.

MORE RELEASES FROM FINESMITH AND DURA

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

I never tire of writing or talking about things I love. So you can be sure that I love Finesmith Designs and DURA Hair. I’ve written in the past that I wear my hair very short in real life and that I like short hair in SL. (Actually, I like hair of all lengths in SL because I can have thick hair of any length—not so in real where I have thin hair.) In SL one of the advantages of short hair is that it generally shows jewelry off well, as you can see in the photos below. As a manager for Finesmith Designs, I like to show off my jewelry and, to be honest, Yula likes those who work for her to show it off too.

In the top photos, I’m wearing the Folium Earrings and Folium Necklace from Finesmith, both of which are color-change and are currently 50% off and the DURA Boy 22 Hair in three different colors. The hair actually is shaved on the back and sides, but I’m not fond of that look, so I added one of the DURA hairbases from another of the DURA hairs in my inventory. I love these bangs, they are very flirty.

Dura Boy 22

In this photo I’m wearing the Finesmith Black Joy (Yes, it’s on 50% off too right now) and the DURA Boy 24 Hair. I will admit that the grey one on the right comes pretty close to my real life hair.

By the way, the landmark for DURA is new, so be sure to take it to the new shop. The LM for Finesmith Designs is good for now, but remember, she’s going to move soon, so she is having a 50%-off-everthing-in-the-store sale. This isn’t something you want to miss.

ACCESSORIES

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

I’m wearing the Xen’s Hat that was out for the 55L Thursday sale last week. It’s still available, just not for 55L any more. I love the hats I’m creating now because they are color-change via huds. That means you can change them to go with anything in your wardrobe. With the Woven Daisy Hat I’m wearing the jewelry that Yula Finesmith had out for 55L Thursday two weeks ago. This week you can get the items for 50% off their regular prices. In fact, you can get everything in the Finesmith Designs store for 50% off to clear out the stock in preparation for moving to a new sim. This may just be the time to get that necklace or set of jewelry you’ve been eyeing.

Xen's Hat Woven Daisy Hat

Below is the hat for this week’s 55L Thursday sale at Xen’s Hats. The hat, band, and roses are all separately colorable, so they can all be different colors or all the same color. It is in the store now, but it won’t be 55L until Thursday, so don’t hurry over. Put it on your shopping list for Thursday. I’m also showing the Rissa Delicate Collar and Bracelet from Finesmith Designs as well as the metallic fingernails. These jewelry pieces and the fingernails are also set for 50% off—just like everything else in the store. There are a few things in the store I don’t own yet—yes, I know it’s hard to believe, but there really are a few items I just haven’t gotten—now is the time and the gettin’ is good!
