Japan Relief Fundraising 5/14~5/29

On May 14, 2011, we will open “Japan Relief Fundraiser” Charity Event! Since that devastating day of March 11, so many wonderful, amazing, generous charities have been organized in SL, and me, being part Japanese, who still have family and friends there, could just not sit and not do anything. Ji Nirvana and myself decided to organize a charity event ourselves, and with an official approval by AmeriCares, we have been planning this event.

Only one more week and the event opens to the public! The LM will be provided next week and with over 50 amazing SL creators and designers, I am humbly reaching out to every SL citizen, to shop for a cause.

Please visit our blog: http://japanrelieffundraiser.wordpress.com/ for more information. Thank you all for your amazing support and generousity!!

   On March 11, 2011, at 14:46pm (JPT), a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the north-east coast of Japan, followed by a 124.3-foot wall of Tsunami. The quake and the tsunami crippled the Fukushima nuclear power plant, where radiation began to leak to air and water. As of April 14, the official death toll has been raised to more than 13,000, with more than 15,000 listed as missing, more than 190,000 people have lost their homes and are living in temporary shelters.

I have a new favorite store: =DeLa*=

The designer of this store is Japanese and her outfits are not only wonderfully fashionable, but the texture is first class. The details are amazing and it looks very realistic. =DeLa*= offers everything from casual to gowns, bikinis to accessories such as jewelry, shoes, and bags:) You can mix & match everything, and it still looks great!

You won’t regret the stop at the store!

The coat, shirt, and skirt is from Dela that I coordinated together.

As you can see, the texture is amazingly detailed from far distance and of course, you can mix & match with other designer items:)

Happy Shopping!

Avion Vanity HUD

I had no intentions of doing any shopping today… but when I saw the notice on StarWalker, I just had to check it out:)

It was about Avion Vanity HUD. What it is, is that you can change the colors of the eyelashes (from Avion only), hair, jewelry, and lighting (any brand as long as its modifiable) and create wonderful looks and pictures. All you have to do is go to “edit” on your hair or jewelry, go to “content” tab, and drag a script in to it that comes with the HUD you purchase. Once the script is in, you can change the colors to anything! The hair I’m wearing is snow color from Truth. I added the script, and voila! I am now a cameleon!!! It gives you choices where you can change only the hair color, or only eye lashes color, or you can choose both and match the colors:)

The picture below with a daisy on it, I have separate colors on hair and eyelashes. The other 3 are match:)

The HUD is amazing and everything is very easy. The only thing that took most time of this entire process, was to adjust the eyelashes, and I’m not done yet!!! I’m not happy with my adjusting so far:( I’ll work on them this weekend even further:)

The eyelashes color change are only available with Avion lashes for now. But they are lovely lashes:) Avion offers several designs and they are pretty amazing designs:)

It also gives you lightning where you can choose various color lights. It comes very handy if you are savvy photographer:)

As it is a HUD, you can add walks, poses, sits and everything:)

This HUD is approximately $1500L, but it is an amazing little HUD with so much color options!!! To me, it is definitely worth the cost:)

Happy Shopping!

*Tia* & Honey

Hello everyone!

Today, I’d like to share with you few New Releases by Honey store and also a photo studio store called “Tia”, which is part of the well-known GABRIEL store. “Tia” is owned by Miss. Hitomi Mornington and poses used in the Photo Studios are made by a pose store called *agapee*, which are designed by Miss. Argnit Igaly. It is truly an honor to me to be able to introduce *Tia* and *agapee* to all of you:)

In the pictures, I’m wearing Honey outfits and photo studios offered by Tia:)

First picture: Who said you have to be uncomfortable in order to look good:) This outfit is something I personally would wear in RL:) Cute and feminine blouse with big frills, comfortable pants and heels. The vest is fashionable and finishes the outfit in retro style.

I have accessorized this outfit with hair (including hat) from W&Y, jewelry from Sigma, and shoes from Maitreya (currently 50% off on EVERYTHING). Photo Studio is “A Street Corner”

Second picture: A similar blouse from the first one but without any vest. This top has decoration on it and is more of a corset style. The blouse comes in a set with sexy shorts. I just love this outfit! It’s cute, sexy, but stylish!! And can you see the details on these outfits with wrinkles of the textures? Amazing! I’ve accessorized this outfit with hair from Friday, earrings from R.A. Crystal, necklace and bracelets from Mandala, nails from Soverigncrux, and boots from Maitreya (currently 50% off on EVERYTHING!). Photo Studio is “Black Bar”

All these poses were taken in the photo studios from “Tia”.

You can find 3 kinds of photo studios in the store:

(From left)

“Black Bar”

“A Street Corner”

“White Room”

The photo studios comes with many various poses but you can use your own poses as well and be creative:)

The “White Room” is currently a Lucky Letter Gift for Group Members:)

The letters are cycled through every 10 minutes, so rush over to the store now!!!

Happy Shopping!!!

KWZ Outfits

RL is as hectic as usual, but I just couldn’t go any time longer without blogging!!! So today, I would like to introduce to you a wonderful designer by the name of Kariwanz Felisimo. And though the name may not be obvious, this designer is indeed a Japanese designer, for the lovely store KWZ. This store has some amazing outfits, few goth, few fantasy, gowns, but one thing they all have in common is the quality of the texture and prims. I could have bought the entire store… but what would I use that outfits for?:) So I had to put a stop on myself:) But I did get 2 gowns! I just couldn’t resist and I sure could not choose one:)

The first outfit is called KWZ Lace Hood. The entire outfit is made by lace and when purchasing, you can choose the type of hood. I chose “ribbon” hood, but there were rabbit hood as well:) The picture does not make the outfit justice, but the lace has amazing details on it. The outfit comes with 2 skirt options, one mermaid style (shown in picture) and one princess type of skirt. Very sexy yet elegant because of the lace. If you get the bunny hood, it may be usable for Halloween *wink*.

The second gown from KWZ is called KWZ Omega gown. This is simply amazing victorian gown, perfect for a grand ballroom! When I saw it, I simply had to have it! Not that I go often to ballrooms, but I thought, every girl need one of those, just in case the perfect prince asks me out:) The texture in this gown is breathtaking and the frills makes it so elegant and unique. It is the perfect gown to lose time in while dancing with your loving partner.

On the picture below, I am wearing a brand new face tattoo, created by the very talented photographer, Julie Hastings:) She has recently opened a tattoo shop, and though the selection is still few, the quality and designs are amazing!!! I can promise you that you will certainly love them all! I will post another one right after this post to show you the pictures of the tattoos!

Happy Shopping!
