BeetleBones Pants and the Bees

oh well hi! It's been a bit since I posted a blog, but I went on a mini vaca from blogging to work on other stuff and relax. Got alot of catching up to do that's for sure! I'm be posting more dunning the week, maybe only a few seeing how I'm still sorta swamped in event stuff. But, none the less I gotta do it!

So let's get to it shall we my little beeeeeeessss. I've been on a bee kick this month, probs the result of Crystal, a friend and the owner of Beehive, creating a new event called Bees through the Seasons. I love honey bees, and honey irl so it only meshes that i would adore it in sl too. For this i ended up wearing this necklace from MG, which I have blogged before, but it's bug related xD i can't escape the madness~ For the rest of the look i stuck to one thing i know well, Rose! Not ME, sillies, but my old Harry Potter character. i grew her up, changed her skin and hair, and tada, her style has blossomed. She is known for wearing weird, and at times, overly tacky things, but as she grew up, I wanted her to mild down on the tack end of things. Though, because of who she is, i'll never stop 100%, and I can promise you more looks will come of her being....a mess tbh xD So back to clothes~ Wearing a few things from Tres Blah today, my skin like normal because honestly I'm not living with out it, and this cardigan that I've seen all over the grid since I started! I've wanted it for a while but could never figure out where to get it, but I stumbled across it the other day while over at lamb, to buy this hair Ruby I'm wearing, and I couldn't say no. It works for both prim and proper looks and more laid back, comfy type styles. It's very me, and that's what I like about Tres Blah, it works for anyone if you put in the extra effort to make it your own.

Then we go to the shoooooooooooooooeeess. These were a FLF item from tulip. and i love them. Probably no longer 50L, but they are worth the regular price for sure. I love the studs and how they aren't over...studdy? lol idk, but i like them alot. Oh man I keep failing to uppercase my I in this pose, WHATEVER OK? SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS...moving on~ i love them for sure, they fit the foot really well, I mean like, to the point were they look costumed made! I just like them alot. There is also, which is hard to see because i forgot to take a close up -epppp!- this really pretty bracelet from ISON, also a FLF item, it's pretty cool and i am in love with it. Very creative and original. It works again, like many of my pieces in my looks, well in any style if you use it right. My friend jim was wearing the black version while I was wearing the amber, and they looked completely different on us xD

Ok, and for the finale of this post~ NEW RELEASE FROM BEETLEBONES. I am over the moon in love with these pants guys. They are called the Boyfriend Cord (and the cardigan I am wearing is also named Boyfriend Cardigan lol ) and they are so pretty and just, amazing. Sue has been a great friend of late helping me with my mesh item woes and uploading issues, and she shares a love of computer animation and modeling like me. I've always loved her stuff, would live in her store if given the choice, so these pants, they are priceless to me. The come in 10 colors, all pictured below, in two color sets, darks and lights. The first one I put on was the mint one(far right) and it matched perfect with my current outfit and I just fell in love! BeetleBones in one of my favorite brands on the grid, and that's not just because I know Sue! It's because no matter what, her items are always creative, beautiful, and practical. They carry a witty humor and effervescence about them that most clothes lack-well to me at least. Her random creations like her Hamsters for the arcade and harry potter flying brooms, are what I think, sets her apart from the rest of the people on sl. Along with her just as cute and ofc talented sister Anya, Sue's stuff is my love of all loves. These items will be available tomorrow (10.21.12) at the Attic at the docks for only 95L a pack. crazy yes? I think so. But she's got a way of bring in the masses like you really would not believe! Even with out knowing sue, you can tell from her creations that she's a light hearted, witty, and wonderful person. I'm honored to befriend such a beautiful soul. SO BUY HER PANTS OK? ily sue <3

I think with this outfit i was somehow being very silly unknowingly to me! The pants and cardigan both have the name Boyfriend in it, and the necklace is named LoveBug...and I just so happen to have a new boyfriend-OH LOOK AT THE TIME BETTER BEEE OFF TO BUZZ AROUND THE HIVE... >/////> yea love you guys and thanks for reading xD

(WARNING MASSIVE POST BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP TYPING!)

Why hello hello hello! It's me! Well, duh, I'm not really sure who else it could be...so yay! I've brought you another blog (my look book is on pause for a bit, working on clients, events, and now I'm in a photograph studio so my time is all sdfusdofw0e9r8 at the moment!) So, as mmmaaaannnny of you know, the Arcade event is going on! I have to admit, I bought too much. But, I regret NOTHING. It was all sooo cute, adorable, and not to mention some of the things I got I can actually use in rp. Over all the event is a hit. The mesh hamster featured in this picture is by ::BB:: (Beetlebones) and is one of the most popular items at the event! I have many more post to come in the future featuring most of the things I got and they will be coming a bit later, but they are laden with mesh hamster avis. These are running please close to my most beloved thing in sl!

Ok, on to the look! Now, for these pictures I've come up with this idea of a series. It's a story in a sense, and we are going to be following around this spunky little grandma here as she buys all the things! My goal here is to really get you my readers involved in what I make, and this seems to be a great way to do it. So, starting off I want to give a big warm hug and loud thank you to *Tea Time* for becoming this blog's SECOND sponsor! I've been in love with Tea's stuff for ages, but never got around to buying anything because my resources were always so far and few between. Being ASKED to be a blogger of such a great shop is an honor. I'm really not just saying this because I get to blog all the pretty stuff now, it's because honestly, the texturing on these items are superb, the options, colors, patterns, they all rock, and stand a part from the other stores I've been too. So thank you Tea!

This look, was something last minute-I know, I do alot of that. I was messing with my avi, and on a whim, bought this skin and shape from Wrigglesworth that I have been pinning after for almost the entire year. It's a dream of mine to be able to play an old lady character in a film or stage production of any kind. Something about it just appeals to me. So this skin called Violet, was priceless to me. I couldn't NOT have it when I finally had the chance to get it. It also comes with a prim hair potion, but I opted off of wearing it in this piece because the hat I wanted to wear I didn't work with it, so I instead choose this one by !lamb. called Eraserhead. It's actually a male avi hair, but I liked it too much to say no. What you can't really see in this picture is that it's actually a Mohawk. The sides are shaved off and so is the bottom portion of the back. It's one of those hair styles that just scream "I DON'T CARE". I'm in love with it, and I couldn't stop myself from getting it! The eyes, lipstick, and golden eye shadow are all from Dead Apples. Her makeup and eyes are very afforable. I bought about 4 sets of mesh eyes and I love them so much. You can mix and match the different colors seeing how each mesh eye is it's own item. The eye shadows from her Glam serious are, and I'm not joking about this, something I've wanted since I started in SL. I it was one of the very first things I actually looked on the markerplace when I first when shopping. They just are so pretty. I'm not sure, but they leave this smoldering kind of look. The lipstick is the PERFECT black lip! It comes with a set of prim teeth that are actually pretty cool and work with many different looks.

Back to *Tea Time* k? This sweater is one of the new items. It comes in four sizes and three other colors (teal, yellow, and beige). What made me oh "OH!" when I saw them were the elbows! They resemble the kind of elbow padding you would see on a smokers blazer. It's a very cute look and mixes the feminine and masculine aspect very well. This baggy boat neck sweater is beautiful textures and I have to say, the graphics on the front are pretty cool as well. Also from Tea, is this bag, which comes in three version (prop, no pose, and static pose) . I actually intend on wearing this on my rp character because she is always running around giving others flowers and collecting things to put in her potions. It works very well in fact! The last item from Tea, is this necklace. I love the beads and how they progressively get much smaller as they head towards the back, it's very cute and again, I can't stress this enough, the texturing! Ah, so beautiful.

The last couple of things are these shoes from Fashionably Dead. They are called the Bucket heel, and remind me of my child hood. They look like a t-strap Mary Jane, just with a heel. The sock sculpt is adorable. The way it gathers at your heel, just prefect! This skirt is from .Eclair. and was a last minute buy for me. I wanted a high waisted skirt that could work with the sweater, but not be huge. It's mesh and comes in another color. It's was only seventy linden and it was well worth it for the way the drapping lies on your shape. Last is this hat from *ARGRACE* it comes in a few other color and is modifiable so you can re size to your hearts content!

Moving on (I know this is long ok, my fingers are tired too xD), we reach the freaked out girl wearing a pot on her head in the picture. The hair is called Stone Soup, again from Fashionably Dead, and the pot is built in! There has a similar style minus the pot, if anyone is looking for something close to that. The shirt is from Schadenfreude, it's simple, and comes in many different colors, and a varieties of selves, and tails option. The pants are from caLLie cLine, and are made for either male or female avis. The cuffs are prims that can be adjusted to side. Last for clothing are the shoes. These were a gift for the Whore Couture Event a while ago, but they are still available at *GF* for normal price, and the style "Alex" comes in two other finishes and a rainbow of colors.

Now we get to the accessories! First is this headband from TokiD. I bought it because I secretly wanted to be like Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service! It's adorable and again, like most things in this post, comes in other colors! The plushie shale, ring(which can't be seen, will insert a close up of it later), bag and the watch are all gotcha items from the Arcade event. This plushie Fox stole is too cute! It reminds me of the one fox that Anya Ohmai made a while back, but this one is meant to look like a toy draped over your shoulders! The watch is super cute too! It looks like a child watch which is mainly the reason I wanted it. It's very youthful and the color is just-ahhh amazing! I love green so this just took the cake! Then this bag, ugh I just can't, the running deer pattern is so nice and the size of it is't too big. The handle was modeled very well because I can adjust this bag to my liking and the handle horrible wide! It's wonderful!

That's if for my first post on the arcade. More will be coming. This was just a starter piece, but I promise you it's alot! You've got until the 15th of October to play your luck with the gotchas so go head and try!
