LotD – A stellar thank-you gift from Entice

Aeon LotD

It’s Friday!  Time to unwind from the week with some drinks, a lovely candle-lit dinner, and a night of dancing overlooking the ocean.  This lovely star-spangled cocktail dress is Entice‘s 5000 group member thank-you gift.  The group is free to join, and offers other regular group gift updates.

I’d like to point out the hair, too.  Calico Creations is one of my favourite stylists, and offers a wide variety of colours with every style. Again, kudos to merchants who provide multiple colour/texture options instead of selling each one separately!

LoTD – Bohemian Butterfly

Aeon LotD

While many of us are moving into autumn, half the globe is happy to be seeing the arrival of spring and warmer temperatures.  Here’s one of my favourite outfits for carefree spring/summer days –  a lovely hankii hem skirt from Hankii Pankii, with a mesh butterfly top from Hilly Haalan.  Both top and skirt come with a variety of textures to choose from, a feature that I particularly enjoy.  Hopefully the days of outrageous prices for each individual texture/fabric are coming to an end in SL!

The mesh top comes in the standard 5 sizes, plus fitted sizes for Slink Physique and Maitreya mesh bodies.  Wow!  Anyone who has gotten frustrated with alphas and mesh bodies will love this!

An opal pendant from Earthstones and barefoot sandals from Blushed completes this carefree look.

A&A Photo Contests

blue Stuff

I’m an Alli and Ali fan, no doubt about it 🙂  Their Fire colour is my favourite, can you tell?

Every so often, A&A do a photo contest, generally themed on the seasons.  The 10 best photos selected win a L$2000 gift card to the store.

Last contest, I was honoured to have not one but two photos selected in the top 10, one of me and one of Aeon!  But even more pleasing is that the picture on A&A’s landmark at the moment is of yours truly!

Here’s the original…

Breast Cancer Awareness month

blue Events

October is breast cancer awareness month.  The statistics on the disease are frightening, with an estimated case diagnosed every 2 minutes in the United State alone, according to the American Cancer Society.  Current trends are positive though, with the breast cancer death rate down 34% since 1990!

Please, learn how to do a breast self examination, and get a mammogram once a year after you turn 40.  Early detection tests for breast cancer save thousands of lives each year, and many more lives could be saved if even more women and their doctors  took advantage of these tests.

Wear your ribbon in October to help spread the word.

My ribbon was a gift from Chop Zuey last October, and while it doesn’t appear to be available in store at the moment, there are lots of others on the marketplace for FREE, see here, here, and here.

LotD – Fall

blue LotD

The leaves are turning as we watch the oncoming fall.  I’d like to highlight my wings today.  They are by AVRO Wings, who sadly have closed their in-world store, but all their items are still available on the marketplace.

You can change the color of these wings with menu available on touch, and there are over sixty colors to pick from, so you can always find a match to what you are wearing (if you like to wear wings all the time like some people I know) 🙂

You can also turn flapping on and off with a simple chat command.

Very versatile!

LotD – Carries B&W Variety

blue LotD

A lot of Carrie’s Lingerie older items have had Slink Appliers added to them in the last couple of months.  If you own an older outfit (I had Val in black from winning a gift voucher over a year ago), try asking the redelivery terminal to redeliver your purchases to get the updated package with appliers.

Also as a member of Carrie’s group, a group only Midnight Mania board is available to you on the right hand side of the store.  The group is FREE to join.  Yesterday was the Variety set in black and white 🙂

LotD – Maxima Jacket

blue LotD

A couple of great freebies for you today!  Firstly, a gift for SL Frees & Offers members, the jacket is called Maxima, and is available now for FREE at Hilly Haalan.  Just what you need for a quiet night out now that the fall season is upon us and the weather is getting a little cooler.

The necklace is a hunt item from Beloved.  There are ten hunt items to be found at the in-store hunt, celebrating the opening of their updated store.  All are available for FREE and the hunt runs through 4th October.  Don’t miss out!

The ten items go to make up three very nice sets.  The one I’m wearing in the photo comprises the necklace, matching earrings, and right and left hand bracelets and rings!
