Wearing DIY Folded Shorts

Rugged outfit for a day at Texas Roadhouse Grill in El Pueblo. Cut another old pair of jeans into a nice pair of shorts. Folded and sewn the tattered edges in front, super easy! All you need is a pair of scissors, needle and thread. Hello recessionista ~

Moar Fair Goodies

I've had these pics sat on my Flickr for a day or so now, I figured I'd best post em :P



As I'm sure you're all aware, not only can you buy amazing hair at Hair Fair, but most of the designers have yummy dollarbies out for you. Stumbling across the Posh booth was like heaven. Not only is the hair beyootiful, they have 3 gift bags out for you. The dress shown here is in one of said bags. Shown with a Fair exclusive hair from Fuel...yup Cleggy's bak!



The top is a group gift from Modd.G, there is a joining fee, but it's well worth it. The shorts are part of another gift bag from Posh, that was also stuffed full of hair *swoon* The hair shown here is also from Fuel, but didn't make it out in time for the fair, so you can find it at her main store, for only 200L per colour pack. And with that short and sweet post, I'm off to socialise with my cousin who's come to stay for a few days. Ash Out.

Frop!

I'm a bit bleary eyed this morning and stumbling round the grid making epic typos in between work breaks. My bestie is one of those driven types, if she does a hunt, she has to do it all at once and all the way to the end. Needless to say, we make terrible hunting partners as I get very easily distracted by shiny pretty things (read spending money at every store on the hunt stop) and quite often get yelled at: "You can COME BACK HERE LATER" Ahem.



So while I fussed with PS this weekend off she went to do the key hunt, and came back raving about a store called Frop. While I didn't spy her wearing the hunt gift (shown above), I did see her in an awesome pair of shorts.



I was stoked when I found out they were a midnight mania prize. Shown here with the 2 super comfy looking tops that come with them. I also bought a fat pack of shirts with the following written across the boobs: Bitches Are People Too I was told I needed those shirts, can't think why though :P



And lastly these retro jammies can be won from the Frop lucky chair, both myself and bestie won those while we were standing around gabbing. The chair seems to change really quickly too, so bring some friends. And now, back to work for me. Ash Out.

High Waisted Shorts

High waisted shorts are tricky to wear and this is my first pair. There are other designs where the waist of the shorts are even higher, I guess those designs are easier to wear and I might prefer them more. This pair looks very 80's, I tried wearing it with sleeveless blouses but it looks rather awkward. Hence, I went with a loose blouse with butterfly sleeves. If the waist was a bit higher then it could go better with a shiny sleeveless halter cut blouse.

Wear your high waisted shorts with a belt, embellished ones look great on them and they are next on my shopping list :)

Oh what a day in SL for little ol me!! Not only did I get to take pics with Boi Ach (be still my heart) but I found some amazing things to show you!



No I haven't knocked the slider all the way to the right by accident, it's one of the skin options from my yummy landlady Poppy :P The LL Popfuzz group will now be for land and rental purposes only. Poppy has a kiosk up in the mainstore for a subscribe group that won't pinch one of the precious 25. Join the subscriber, then wait for the chat to tell you you've been added to the database. Once you get that, touch the picture next to the subscriber to receive these amazing skins. You get all skin tones, ranging from super pale to a gorgeous chocolate shade. Aaaaaand for each tone you get 4 skins, light and dark brows, cleavage or no cleavage. Shown here with a cute bikini from Pixel Passion that I nabbed for 10L. There's a whole table of cheapies there.



This is another of the 10L outfits. With this one you get a choice of latex or fabric, yum! There's a couple of lucky chairs, prize camping and of course gorgeous clothes and lingerie of all kinds. The RFL outfits look especially gorgeous.





Loli's favorite store Kuri Style has put out these super cute numbers, for 2L and 5L respectively. The little shorts remind me of an outfit my bestie Kenlee used to wear when she was being Rollergirl, I know she'll love these ones. The dress is all kinds of gorgeous, and you can get other colours for 100L, which is totally reasonable.



One of the amazing things about the RFL Clothing Fair (apart from the money raised) was having some many designers in one place and being able to join their subscribos. One such store I joined was Devilish Cupcake, who sent out this gorgeous dress this morning. It has wee tiny cuppycakes all over it, yes I tried to nom myself :P The skin in the last pic is this weeks dollarbie from KOSH. It's fecking lush, the eyemakeup is to die for *sighs happily* See the shoes? Both pairs were sent out in the Duh! subscribo, join now dammit!! Thanks Renee, sorry it took so long for me to post em! Right I'm off to fantasize about Boi Ach sort inv. Ash Out.

Bunny Hop Flair

3am, all was not well in the Tomsen household, mainly due to my super loud boinking neighbours, who not only woke me up, but Mini Ash too, grrr. And the grid was broked too, awesome. So I was moaning on Plurk about my Sasybum being MIA and me missing her terribly. Well I found out last night there's a terribly good reason for her not hanging out. Shoes. Awesome sauce ballet flats to be precise. Sasy has a new project on the go, named "Flair".



The ones shown here can be nabbed on Xstreet for an L. In the pack you actually get 2 versions of your chosen shoes, so thats 4 pairs of shoes for 2L. Get the grey ones here and the pink ones here.



If you want other styles, colours or demos check out Sasy's merchant page here. The regular retail price is 150L, so it's well worth checking the dollarbies out, trust me theyre gorgeous. Speaking of gorgeous, how are these little short suits!! Tomoko Manamiko sent me a lm this morning for an amazing store called DrLife. Not only do they have 4 lucky boards (2 of them contain full skin sets) but there's also some yummy group gifts you can claim with your tag active. The shorts come in all sorts of colours, there's hair and jewelery also. yay for new to me stores!



A big hunt is about to get underway, the Bunny Hop grid wide hunt. Check out the official blog here. This first dress is the gift from Weird Designs. It's called "Dead Bunny" and I fecking love it. Shown with the very not free, but totally awesome "Dead Dreamer" skin from Miasnow.



Here we have offerings from Angelwing and Spork for the clothes, Sentou Yousei for the shoes and Chaos By Design for the skin. The shoes are truly to die for and you get 6798679 colours, not just the ones shown here.



The bunny outfit is from Venice Picassa, the ears twitch, too cute!! And the skin and middle dress are from Skinzors. The skin is beautiful, delicate and ever so pretty. Do check out the official blog, for more participants, and stay tuned here for more gifty previews. Ash Out.

Huuuge, Massive Post!

I'm so happy happy this morning!! I have the house to myself again as I had given my roomie notice, and he's gooooone!! I know it's mean to celebrate so much, but some people you can live with and some....well lets just say you can't :P The concurrent theme for this post is lucky chair exclusives. Those precious outfits you can only win from the chair.





This first set is from Dare Designs. A new to me store, but it's a one stop for just about everything you could want! There's 4 lucky chairs for girls, a midnight mania board, clothes galore, boots *pauses for breath* and if that's not enough, you also get a gift when you join the subscribo! Phew. Thank you so much to Dare Munro for letting me know about his yummy store, I'll be sending Q in with some cash later today ;) The outfit is called STFU, and will be in the chair for about a week, so pack the place out ppl! You get all these options and more in the one box, a ton of ways to wear it.



These bits of hawtness are from +DV8+ and match the boots I posted a couple of weeks ago. There's also an exclusive colour in the riotvend with matching boots, so get crowding!! Thanks Vasha. The skin shown here is a pick reward from Little Bird. The AYC skin is just luminous and innocent looking, I looove. You know the drill with pick rewards, add the store, wait a bit touch the thingo and away you go!



The next dresses are from the Glitterati Goodie Table. Shown are 2 dresses from T2T and DCNY. There's also gifts from CNS, Arsnova, Rock Me Amadeus and probably much more that I missed due to copious blue screens.





These skins! More lushness from Lazolli, 7 new skins to be precise. I always feel terribly grown up when I wear these skins, I know, I'm completely odd! And looky! I haz Gummi Bears on my neck, thanks to Sanu :P You can get the Gummy Love Rainbow set from the lucky chair. You get a choker and 4 monocles, they're so real looking, if I could work out a way to lick my own neck I would!! Ash out.

Fashion Week

The lure of RUNWAY Fashion Week proved all too much for me last night, when I found myself at a loose end, and not a scrap of tiredness!! So I sent Q along, with her teeny, tiny, perfectly ordered inventory to have a look see.



I was more than stoked to see Silk & Satyr has a booth there. Not only did they give away a massive bag of stuff in their spot, they also included gifts in the official RUNWAY gift bag. ThomasD Felisimo has always been the epitome of generous and this is no exception. The collar shown here is part of the gift and is called "Impassioned Collar-Dina's Favorite" I think it'll become Q's favorite too!



This set is called "Nauteh Scots" with male and female versions. Made me think of our fearless leader Creams and her love for all things tartan :P All sets come with a "wax job" (skin coloured undies) as most of these silks are prim only.



"Return To Eden" made me chuckle, it takes some adjusting to get it to sit in the right place though, so be prepared to spend some time on it. There's many many more gifts and gorgeous clothes to see, make sure you take the time to look at it all at RUNWAY Fashion Week.



I'm not sure if this has been blogged, but I hadn't unpacked it yet from Q's inv, so it's new to me! A valentines gift from the Thimbles group. It was too cute not to show and suits curvier Q down to a t!



This yummy dress was a group gift from Ookami Ningen. Join the group and head to the main store to get yours. There was much happiness as the skirt has a resize script FTW. I never realised how much of a difference a few points to the right on the slider scale would make, both in terms of how clothes fit, how poses look and the kind of AO one wears. I'm gonna persevere though, I like being curvy :P Ash Out.
