Vignette & In Her Shoes

Rachel Boram – the creator of the best hallowe’en boots – has set everything in her two shops to L$0. Must be samhain madness but is fantastic news for us bargain hunters. She has two shops - Vignette which is hair and In Her Shoes which is footwear. Lots of different styles of both in multiple colours, all free! Here are just a couple of items I snagged earlier. In the picture above I am wearing purple Betty dots shoes & Izzy hair in Majestic black.

in this one I am wearing warm winter boots in red and Jaime hair in cherry.
Other items: GP Petal skin and tragic eyes, both from Curio; trousers – gutter glitter jeans in bruise (top) and lust (bottom) and ribbed tanks all from Silent Sparrow; earrings – pumpkin from Earthstones – free gift in store (these are really lovely – go grab them!)
Poses: Long Awkward Pose
Atomic

Just a quickie as this has been blogged to death, but Atomic are having a small hunt around their stores. There are 12 jack o’lanterns to find and they are easy to spot. You can get 3 fat packs of skins, 2 of hair, 2 of batwing tattoos (unisex), 3 of Ts (unisex) and 2 of tanks (also unisex). Word of warning – it’s popular so gets busy. To reduce lag remove as many prims & huds as you can – it will make moving easier & take less time for your graphics card to have to draw you. Reducing your draw distance will also help. It only took me about 20 mins to find all the pumpkins, so worth the effort….
I’m wearing: skin_bailey porcelain, Boo! tank and hair_caroline onyx (all hunt prizes). Also gutter glitter pants in pumpkin from Silent Sparrow – exclusive item in the “deader than you” tour. Pose from Long Awkward Pose

Swimming Kitties

Hallowe’en hunts are still going strong on the grid. Another has just started on the Calico Kitty sim. There are 19 pumpkins to find (they are pretty easily spotted – they glow!) containing 19 hairs (by Calico Ingmann) and 3 skins from FUB. All the hair styles come in four different hallowe’en colourways. Calico Ingmann is one of my favourite hair designers so this was a lovely thing to stumble across. There are a couple of styles for the guys (although there’s nothing to stop them wearing the others….) The skins have lovely details including stomach tattoos. If you need any help finding the pumpkins, drop me an IM. All the pumpkins are in and around the CIC store on Calico Kitty.

Geckogirl is wearing “cheshire” hair in pumpkin, Sorzun “lysander” hair in halloween and Sorcha sports “wraith I” in spooky. There are two pumpkins called wraith, but they have different contents, so make sure you pick up both.In both pictures Sorcha & Sorzun are wearing the October dollarbies from Swim! and Sorzun also has on the hallowe’en subscribo freebie shirt from Shabby Cat (the skins are female ones and he was embarrassed by his moobs). Geckogirl has on the “tiny pumpkins” bikini also from Swim! – a current LC prize. All these stores have some great stuff, so do look around if you’re picking up the freebies/dollarbies.All poses Glitterati

Witch or Vampire?

Been meaning to blog this for ages! Sissy Pessoa at Baiastice has released a dress in store that can be used to dress up as either witch or vampire. Personally I think it’s too lovely to be kept just for trick or treating! As with all of Sissy’s work it is beautifully done. Additionally, the group notices for Baiastice include a package of vampire & witch skins, each with a choice of four brow colours, two pairs of eyes, hair and vampire fangs to compliment the dress. I am wearing the witch skin & eyes in this pic. The group is free to join, but you have to send Sissy a note to get added. The notice will expire on 26th, so get a wriggle on if you want all the extras!
