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

Jelly Bean MADNESS.

ana 12:50 PM

Hi hi hi! Hello there my little jellbeanies! It's another wonderful post summer/ almost there but not really yet here in Florida/ day of fall! The birds are chirping, the sun is shinning, the air conditioner is on, and I, of course, went shopping. Shocker no? Well, how can you tell me not to buy things when Burley came out with new hair, The Secret Store is looking for bloggers, and I happened to win a matching bag to my Jellybean Camera? Ok, let's maybe start from the beginning!

Today's look is again, no surprise, a spur of the moment inspiration. I got a few items that were named Jellybean, and i just had to show them to you all! I've heard through the grape vine that The Secret Store is looking for blogger, I'm still on the fence on whether I should apply or not. I love their clothing but up until recently I haven't bought a single thing. Feels a bit silly to just buy something just because a designer requires it! You should buy the clothes because you love them! That's the kind of bloggers those designer want to see! That being said, I do, in fact love this yellow mesh blouse from them. I own something very similar to it irl, and it's one of my favorite articles of clothing, so to own it in SL too, it's just a treat. Along with it I bought these pair of black thigh high socks. For 30L, it's a great deal, the texturing is beautiful. I rarely go crazy over socks, but these ones are pretty darn cute. I like the whole feel of the store to be pretty honesty. There isn't just once style there, it's a whole group of em. You can be punk, chic, glam, retro, hippie, indie, hipster elegant quirky! It doesn't really matter there is so much stuff there that appeals to a great pool of people.

(all colors included come in the color pack Magnate Yogurt)

Lets move on to the next things, my haiiiiiir. I am not a huge fan of any hair that is 300L, no matter how beautiful or realistic it is. I just get sotra...sad that I can't buy more of it because of the price. But that being said, I pushed aside my reservations and hopped on over to Burley to check out their new releases. There are 3 new female hairs and 3 new males. I bought one of the males, that looks like a lazy unjelled Mohawk, with a pony tail in the back, and then this one, Sirah, in both the Red and Magnate Yogurt color packs. All over sl I see girls sporting this hair, and I don't blame them. At first I was a bit...stand offish about the hair, I wanted to only buy one hair and leave, but something about it just called to me. I'm in love. The hat, and the way the hair flows, it's just very cool. I feel so hippie hipster right now, my mainstream is hurting. #10 in the pack is my favorite, for the likely reason that it's green and I adore green in anything. I don't see myself switching hairs soon-well that's a lie until someone else releases a new hair!

Once again I am wearing my Tres Blah skin, along with my Cheap Makeup Parisian Eyebrows (in blackest black) and their FREE Eyelash Tattoo! I'm also wearing my set of Dead Apples eyes in Drowned blue. I can't get enough of this combination, it's become my favorite of late. As you can see, there is a new addition to my face, in my nose region actually. Yes my dear friends, those are jelly beans! The nose beans and the necklace are freebies found on the Marketplace, which I got back in my noobie days of sl. I forgot I had them, so when I searched jelly beans in my invi and they popped up I nearly fell out of my chair. I forgot how silly they are, but I love them! That's who I am, the girl who sticks jelly beans up her nose, so not mainstream!

Ok so now, let's talk about clothes a bit more. I bought this mint vest from TokiD a few weeks ago and have failed at pairing it with an outfit so far. But today when I put on this blouse from The Secret Store, I thought, might as well. It looks pretty cute and sort of matches the color blocking going on with the Tee*Fy Brownie Camera in Jellybean from the Arcade Gotcha Event, and this bag from Tee*fy also from a gotcha (the one found in their store, not at the event.) I got this bag on the first try and was pretty excited that I could match it with my camera.(which was the first camera I got from the arcade too!)

Last on my body are the boots! A friend of mine took me to a little store called U.One, and it's a great store, especially if you are someone low on L's. These boots only cost 15L! I know it's a bit crazy but it's right. I love them, I haven't worn them yet until I put this look together and now, I just don't want to take them off. They come in two other colors and I will be picking them up later. Everything at U.One is under 50L! I believe their skins and such are a bit more, but it's really worth it for people starting off or though hunting for cheapies. They have everything and anything. and most of it is mesh!
