Lavish Yourself in Pink...

I'm not really a fan of the color pink, I rather purple, but there is always an exception to the rule. How so? Well... PurpleMoon has done it again with a stunning gown called Emma. It has a bundle of flowers to the shoulder and the hip. Attached to each bundle of flowers, you have sheer material flowing gracefully as you walk. The Emma gown can additionally have a train or you can keep it form fitted. It really is a must have! But how much will this breath taking gown cost? How about free? Yep FREE! Surprised? You shouldn't be! PurpleMoon knows the proper way of taking care of their group members. In fact, this gown is a PurpleMoon group gift. Just make sure you have your PurpleMoon VIP tag on. Please also know, it will be available for a limited time, once the next gift is placed up, it is gone. 

To compliment this Emma gown I added Chop Zuey's Symphony of Pauses earrings & bracelet set. This set has just enough sparkle that it's not too bright, but gets a second look! In fact, it was recently updated in the main show room at Chop Zuey. The gems are now brighter and the silver is polished to a sublime shine. 

Finally, Thelma hair from Truth was the last item I picked up to complete my styling. Thelma, comes with or without a bow, additionally the ability to change the color of the bow. Now that I think about it, I believe I have not talked about the store Truth as of yet, so let me give you some back information. Truth was roughly created sometime 2008 and was founded by Truth Hawks. As fashion has evolved over the years so has his designs, which I personally think is the hardest thing to do, especially with mesh! Though I've encountered Truth Hawks a hand full of times, I have always found him to be polite, helpful, and professional.  

 Simple as one, two, three, you have just lavished yourself in pink.

Not Too Late For That Summer Evening Ensemble!

Summer is coming close to the end, but there's still time to enjoy the final summer breezes. At Instruments, PurpleMoon as placed out Breezy top, which comes in 10 different designs, while the Chica Trousers, founded at PurpleMoon's main store come in 8. Both items are a must have! Why? Well... each Breezy top has a different design that will be hard to select just one from. The Chica trousers, on the other hand has these cute colored buttons at the top of the pants. Both items can be paired together easily.

Next, sweep your Francine hair back by a flower clip compliments from Lelutka. Then add The America Set of earrings, necklace, bracelets, and ring by Chop Zuey.

And just like that you have a summer evening ensemble!

What is the Hair Fair...

In today's post I wanted to talk about the Hair Fair. The hair selected for this styling is from the Fair Hair. What is the Hair Fair? The Hair Fair is an event that takes place every year to help support the "Wigs for Kids" charity. If you would like more information about "Wigs for Kids" charity please go here: http://www.wigsforkids.org

On a side note, if you haven't been to the Hair Fair, it's a great place to spend lindens and feel good doing it! At least that's what I like to tell myself and my partner while emptying out his avi's bank account.

The Hair Fair 2014 started on July 12 and will end on the 27th.  Depending on the designer, a percentage goes toward "Wigs for Kids" Charity. In this case, the designer of EMO-tions has set the donation of 50% to each sale made. EMO-tions can be found on the RedHead SIM and they offer 5 different hair styles. The one worn in the pictures is called Dream World. This hair comes with horns, but I chose not to use them.

Now, a few posts back I talked about Silken Moon and how it is an awesome place for fantasy skins,. Not only that, but their skins can also be for everyday use. A perfect example of this is this styling! The skin I am wearing is from Silken Moon called Luna skin. Adding the Silken Moon eyeshadow Autumn and lipstick Simone. I complete the matching makeup to the new Felicity dress by PurpleMoon.

At the Gypset Market, the new Felicity dress by PurpleMoon can be found and I absolutely adore it! The fatpack of this dress consists of 21 textures at the cost of 600Ls, however they sell sets of 3 for 125Ls, which is at an amazing price! The black leggings, Sora Tights, is also from PurpleMoon.

Finally, adding Bax Coen Design ankle boots in black leather, which you can never go wrong with while wearing leggings! Then TA DA! Another amazing outfit!

I hope you enjoyed this styling and information on the Hair Fair. Please feel free to pass this post on! Stay Amazing and happy shopping!

Steampunk the Silken Moon Way!

In my last post I talked about the event called Fashion for Life. The Time Traveller Outfit in brown was one of the exclusive designs made by PurpleMoon for this event.  Sadly, this item is no longer available and I'm not sure if it will come out again. I did check with PurpleMoon's management, who's checking with Poulet. As soon as I get an answer so will you! Until then I want to go into what else I used for this styling.

To have an awesome steam punk styling you need the right skin. Silken Moon Silke did the trick with Silken Moon's make up lip Smoochers and eyeshadow Elements. When you buy Silke skin, you will receive the skin and appliers for Slink hands and feet. Cost? Only 250Ls! The lips Smoochers comes in a pack of 5 colors with an open lip option.  While the Elements eyeshadow comes in a color pallet of 6.  The Smoochers lipstick set cost 100Ls and the Elements eyeshadows is 75Ls. Total cost spent at Silken Moon for this awesome steam punk skin & makeup.... 450Ls!

Next I wanted to add a touch of messy hair, Exile Collide in a frost white suited nicely! What I love about using Exile hair is it being modifiable. I was able to move pieces of the mesh hair to fit under the top hat. I love it when it all works out like that! Don't you? Next accessories!

When accessorizing for a steam punk look you need to think 'futuristic' or at least that's what I do.  I thought eyepatch Monocle would fit for that theme in mind and for 60Ls it's a good buy. The eyepatch Monocle has a little machine on the eye glass tinted in gold, which I think is very cool. I then added the Wrought Iron Whimsybrella created from Weather! Or Not. This Wrought Iron Whimsybrella came with a color HUD of 12 colors. Please know the iron is not what changes colors, but within the iron there is a gem that lights up. The Wrought Iron Whimsybrella also comes with an animation pose that has you hold the umbrella. 

AND there you have it! Steam Punk the Silken Moon way!

Please Note: Again, I'll keep you updated if the Time Traveller Outfit comes out again at PurpleMoon. The Time Traveller Outfit comes with hat, shoes, jacket, and skirt.
