HoPo Mall is The Frugal Fashionista’s Valentine!

HoPoBlog1

It seems to be a general concensus through most of SL that Valentine’s is not a very well-liked holiday. From ramblings on Plurk, in group chat, and the sheer number of tee shirts out for sale with cheerful messages such as “F*** Valentines Day,” I’d guess it’s probably about as popular as Arbor Day when [...]

The Frugal Fashionista Loves Fishy Strawberry!

FIshyStrawberry1

In search of my daily skinfix the other day, I TPed into Fishy Strawberry, only to find, to my dismay, that the store was closed for construction. Bummed, I pouted and slunk my way out of the store, making sure to whack the SOM so that I’d know when it’d be safe to return and [...]

The Frugal Fashionista Says Goodbye to Barcode & Hello to Belleza

Barcode1

When I heard that my friend Makenzie Irling was closing down her store, Barcode, I got a little bit bummed. It’s a great store with fun, simple clothing items that mix and match so well with just about everything, and the prices are definitely do-able for even the most fussy fashionista.  But, of course, a [...]

The Frugal Fashionista @ AOHARU

SCDAoharu2

Every once in a while, a sale happens that is so amazing, so fantastic, that I’ll actually leave my house to fight the lag. The 50% off sale at AOHARU is DEFINITELY one of those sales. From jackets, to dresses, shoes, and hair, AOHARU is THE place to be right now if you want to [...]

The Frugal Fashionista @ Albero Winter Sweethearts Festival

SCDAlbero1

If anyone is NOT a fan of wintertime, it’s me.  All the freezing cold temperatures and the bland white snow make me go a little bonkers, so each winter I spend a lot of time complaining and waiting (impatiently) for springtime.  But now, thanks to the Albero Winter Sweethearts Festival, I might be just a [...]

The Frugal Fashionista – Dutch Touch Skin Sale!

DutchTouchDune

Much like many other fashionistas of the grid, I get a little giddy at the word “sale,” regardless of what it’s for.  However, there is currently a very special type of sale going on at Dutch Touch that every skin addict needs to take full advantage of. Iki has blessed us all with a half [...]

Delora goes Steampunk! (And pale skinned, wtf?)

Delora’s (out of) the Closet – Week 4 By Delora Starbrook, Haven Designs I say, let them eat cake!  OFF OF MY DAMN HEAD. Come and get it, folks!

Seeing Double

I love creators in SL. For the most part, they are the most creative bunch I’ve ever come in contact with. Mishaps seem to be few and far between.

L’Abel

Neferia Abel opened up her new brand this weekend: L’Abel. I love Ivalde, her original brand, and must have hundreds of items from there. When I heard she was working on something new, I couldn’t wait to see what it was. I was certainly not disapointed. Ivalde is known as a vintage brand, reproducing vintage [...]

Skinny Dip: Aden, Generation 4 Skins

Aden Breyer’s Generation 4 skins are certainly my cup of tea. There are a ton of skintones and eight different makeups available. The faces are my favorite part. I love how soft the skin looks. The different eye makeups are to die for, too. You have a choice of lipstick, ranging from matte to super-glossy, [...]

Valentines Day, Part Deux

I wanted to save my favorite V-Day thing for last: MZ lingerie by MadamG Zagato. This stuff is amazingly cool because it’s all prim. Every piece is prim, either sculpted or not, and has baked textures. This is great because, for example, if your partner has mod rights they can actually take it off you [...]

Valentines Day, Part Une

I’m back! After almost two weeks of virtually no SL because my computer blew up, it feels so good to be back to blogging. Valentine’s day is quickly approaching. I wanted to take the rest of the week (until Saturday, anyway) to show you some of my favorite, romantic Valentines day outfits, objects and spots. [...]

Live it, Love it, Loft it.

slove_005

Above you can see me, Tenshi and Sands rocking out in our amazingly cool new living room from The Loft. I got the colorful Addison set and I couldn’t be happier. Everything you see except for the TV and bureau is from the Addison collection, and boy do I love it. The couch has a [...]

A Royal Blue Tarty Party

So, I’m basically encapsulating two reviews into one, but I wanted to tell you about this adorable dress from Callie Cline and the amazing new boots from Royal Blue. TaRty PaRty from Callie Cline is soooooo cute! It’s a funky plaid that can be punked up or perfectly preppy based on what you pair it [...]

Church of Luxe

In the interests of full disclosure I should say that I know someone who knows someone who knows Lo Jacobs. Or something like that. However, I feel in my heart that I can judge dispassionately these products from the Church of Luxe. This is the latest release from the Church, a dress called Lucy. I [...]

Bella Belleza

Yesterday, Tricky Boucher released his Belle skins to the delight of ravenous fashionistas across the grid. I hear that, in the fight to reach the doors at Belleza, two of our most beloved fashion-plates were trampled. Don’t worry, though, they were still OK to shop and are in stable condition, changing skins every 30 seconds. [...]

ShopArmidi is open!

Armidi’s new online shop opened today and I think I may have gone a bit overboard. I know it’s cliche, but I have an Armidi weakness. It does not help that I can now indulge that whenever I’m bored and have access to the internet… You have to register in order to view the site, [...]

Muism

So, I was sitting around, wondering who I could feature on SCD, and then it hit me! We’ve never featured Musim, one of my favorite shops. For two years I’ve drooled over whatever they’ve put out. I’ve loved the buttery textures and fantastic prim work, yet never mentioned it on the blog. Stupid Iris! So, [...]

Armidi : Building Anew?

So what’s up with this? Armidi has two new sims coming up, not connected to the main sim, and no one’s talking about it? Pardon my french, but WTF? What’s with the quiet on this topic? Anyone got a clue? (FYI, I went and got married IRL on 10/24/08, and I’m looking to revive myself [...]

The Sweetest Goodbye

I recently got a review pack from one of my old-faithful shops, Sweetest Goodbye. I hadn’t been there in a while and I was excited to see what was new. Here are two of my favorites: Daydream-Orange The great thing about Sweetest Goodbye is that you can always count on them for flawless prim work [...]

Skin Within

Finally I have something that is new and thus reviewable! Sadly I have now spent all my money on skin so I can’t afford to buy anything for the next year.  It is the Alaysia skin from Skin Within. I have had many troubles re: skin and being fashionable. I have been loyal to Sakura [...]

Paper Couture, Fall 08

Paper Couture put out thier new fall line today. It’s gorgeous with vibrant colors and light, airy fabrics. This season’s line is inspired by birds, so it’s replete with feathers and graceful lines. I actually braved the fashionista swarm and managed to pick some up. This is my favorite dress, Magpie, with some of the [...]

Newness from Dark Mouse Jewelry

A quick post today, my fellow Fashion lovers! Mouse Mimistrobell of Dark Mouse Jewelry has released three lovely new jewelry sets she has named “Tarnished”. Ever since the Jewelry Expo I have become a fan of her work. I am a lover of vintage jewelry in RL and SL and this new offering is right [...]

Do I look cute or what? Hahaha. London Dailey has made a too die for Ladybug costume and it can be found at her store Pink Outfitters. Its a complete look for the upcoming Halloween festivities and includes skin, hair, prim lashes, shoes and of course this adorable dress. And as my friend Hallie Galli [...]

This Pirate Say ‘Arrrrrrrr’

Celestial Studios, Kari, Torridwear, Zyrra Falcone and Lemon got together and decided to do a series of Halloween costumes, the first of which is Bootleg Annie to fullfill all your pirate desires! I had so much fun with this that I actually found pirate ships to play on. Let me give you a quick rundown [...]
