500Ls or Less Jungle Tigress

I've often heard life can be like a jungle. But what does that really mean? It's means life is full of surprises and can become wild at anytime. So why not prepare my amazing reader? In today's post I'm going to show you how to earn your tiger stripes and be called a jungle tigress.

In the jungle, proper attire is always needed. Luckily, Les Encantades has recently released Lanneth. It will include a part chain mail top that turns into a brown leather material to your hips. This top is laced on the slides and back with grey string but gold buttonholes. The top has five brown leather straps that go across the upper chest down to the waist line, the straps are buckled in place with a gold circle clamps. The sleeves a soft fabric but held up by a beautiful hand crafted leather armband with details. The straps on these arm bands buckle as well with a gold buckle. The panties to this attire is made with a mix of cloth and leather. The leather on the panties have embellishment of the same hand carved details on the arm bands. The booths a brown leather as well but has two gold chains dangling across the  ankle. Finally we have two vines creeping up the legs to help with camouflage. 

Next we need hair, EMO-tions has recently released Sabienne. Sabienne, is swept back into a loose tucked up bun. Locks fall free from the bun and across the face as a leather band with gold circle help hold it in place. After all running in the jungle our hair is never in a perfect bun because the jungle is unpredictable. 

Our Jungle Tigress styling is complete. You are now ready to earn your stripes!

500Ls or Less Happy Halloween!

Halloween is creeping up and what's better than a 500Ls or Less Halloween styling? I'd say not much! Since Halloween is almost here I'm going to give you a treat to a designer I haven't blogged about before. The store is called Sweet Temptation. The creator and designer is the one and only Moonshine Allerhand. She creates not only Sweet Temptations, but Gaall, Vaxer and Chic & Shoes is amazing.

In today's Halloween styling, Sweet Temptations has released Happy Halloween! It comes with an off shoulder mini dress with skeletons dancing in bandanna and headphone. Add the skeleton chocker in the shape of a hand & the above knee open toed boots and you are just about ready to head out! The cost for Happy Halloween? Try 99Ls!

But let's not forget the hair! Where to get amazing hair? EMO-tions! Picking up Nella will be perfect for this Halloween styling. There you have it a Happy Halloween styling for a grand total of 349Ls! You can't beat that!

I'd like to thank my photographer Sydney Blonde yet again for her amazing photography skills. If you didn't read my last post. This amazing photographer is one of the owners of IMPACT PhotoWorx.

500Ls or Less A Fair Maiden

Just another day of role-play! I'm sure you've noticed a pattern now huh? But I figured since I haven't done a 500Ls or Less post in a while, why not make one today? It's always hard to find role-play items that have high quality textures and could be considered 'realistic'. Luckily Les Encantade released a new set of gowns at the We Love Roleplay SIM called AraBella. AraBella is simply beautiful with the floral pattern of aqua ivy-vines and a touch of beige leaves. The corset is made of a dark brown cloth that gives enough support yet comfortable to wear. But how much is this gown? Let's see, if we take off 25%, it will cost you 150Ls. That's right, you heard right! $150Ls for this gown and it's available in 4 other patterns! If blue floral isn't your taste come look at the  other colors that are available.

Wanting to keep the theme of a fair maiden, I headed over to Emo-tions and picked up there new release Giselle. The golden locks flow down into perfect curls that drape to the front of AraBella & the back. When I selected this hair style I knew right away it was perfect! Oh! and the price for the hair? 250Ls

In total a fair maiden styling will cost you the grand total of 400Ls!

500Ls or Less The Red Woman

It's that time again! 500Ls or less! In today's styling I tried another Game of Thrones theme but with a modern twist. One character that is seen, but her story hasn't fully unfolded is Melisandre or commonly known as The Red Woman. Now, where to get good RP items? Les Encantade! Wandering over to Les Encantade I couldn't, at first, make up my mind on which one to buy, but then Persephone caught my eye. Persephone is a lovely red and black silk gown that drops to the floor.  It's trimmed in gold at the bottom of the gown, waist, and plunging neckline. The straps of the Persephone gown is high quality gold metal that matches the accessories of ruby arm bands, necklace, and crown. How could I say no? This assemble comes with almost everything you need! Cost? Try 200Ls! A steal if you ask me!

Next I needed to find long crimson hair similar to The Red Woman. Recalling EMO-tions new release Rosi I rushed over to buy it. Once bought I couldn't forget the final touch of a red lips and VA-LA! You have The Red Woman's styling for a total cost of 445Ls! So.... whatcha waitin for? Click on the hyperlinks below and you'll be in front of the items. It's easy as 1...2....3! Happy shopping!

500Ls or Less in Fusion of Fashion...

Exciting news! I found three outfits and three boots to match in one outfit. I know... what's the big deal right? How about it was in a pack that costs 250Ls? That's right! 250Ls! Gaall has done it again with her amazing designer including this Fusion Outfit, now at the Regal Boutiques. Once bought, you will get one pair of boots, half shirt, and booty shorts in xxs, xs, s, m, l. You will also get a HUD that shows each three the full outfits. One click and it's changed! In the picture, I am wearing pinup girl print jean half shirt and jean booty shorts. Other prints offered in this pack is snake skin print half shirt with khaki booty shorts and leather half shirt & booty shorts. Of course don't forget the knee high boots that match perfectly for each outfit included. But that's not all! This pack of outfits is Lola friendly. 

I wanted to keep this styling simple as if it was a pinup girl meets a modern day girl, thus I added Tulip hair from Truth. This hair style gives it a sweet twist giving it a 1940s feel to it. 

Oh I forgot, this complete styling is... 500Ls. Whatcha waiting for! Ready? Set? Shop!

Peace on Earth Hunt 7

Here it comes again! This year, I am excited to be one of the bloggers for this amazing hunt! What hunt? The Peace on Earth 7th Hunt aka POE, which is a widegrid hunt starting on December 1 until January 6 that represents the fight to make peace on Earth.  The hunt consists of designers who support the theme of the hunt and have graciously created a special gift to mark the occasion. During this hunt, I'll be making posts on the items being given out. For more information & to follow other bloggers involved with the POE7 Hunt please visit the Peace on Earth Website.

Now, on with the styling! One of the things I love about hunts is mixing and matching the items I find. It saves lindens and you help support the company or creator of the hunt. The first mixing & matching styling I wanted to present is the number 17. Nya's Shop,  37. Dellybeam Gem Gallery & 51. Lindy M&R Shoes. Nya's Shop will give you this Sparkling Everywhere dress, which I simply adore! From DellyBeam Gem Gallery the set of Celtic Black Pearl earrings and necklace and finally Lindy M&R shoes gift of the Lindy Bally. Three amazing stores from the hunt to create this Holiday Season dinner party ensemble. Just add your favorite hair and ta-da! You have not only helped support Peace on Earth, but you look good & saved lindens in the process. Please stand by for more mix & match ensembles from the Peace of Earth Hunt!

Please Note: The only item you will find that is not part of the POE7 hunt is the EMO-tions Lana hair, however I will be posting their gift sometime this month!

500Ls or Less Roses for Mia...

Jewelry... what can I say about jewelry? I've seen stores with a necklace and earrings alone from 500Ls - 1,000Ls each. Let's face it, even if the quality of the jewelry is worth the lindens, it does add up. Especially for those who don't have large amount of lindens. That's why I like mixing up different kind of jewelry designers. Let me show you what I mean.

I cross my heart Roses for Mia jewelry set from MoonDance Boutique is a MUST have! It comes with a necklace, earrings, 2 rings, 2 bracelets, and nails. Yeah, I know what your thinking... 'and how much is that going to cost me?' Try $249Ls. Yes, only $249Ls. Yes you get the necklace, earrings, 2 rings, 2 bracelets, and nails all together for that price of $249Ls.

If you add the free group gift, Patty Gown from PurpleMoon and Judith hair from EMO-tions you looking to spend a total of $494Ls. In other words a model styling of a gown, hat, hair, earrings, necklace, 2 rings, 2 bracelets, nails can cost you the total styling of $494Ls.

500Ls or Less: FineSmith

I love it when I can find something fashionable under 500Ls and guess what? My finds are your finds too! Have you ever heard of BeStyle District? If not, you're missing out! There is a section called Gypset that has a number of top designers that sell items for a limited time. Just to give you an idea what type of designers you'll find PurpleMoon, FineSmith, Vero Modero, MEB, White Widow, and a few others. The one designer I wanted to focus in on is FineSmith. 

FineSmith has created this wonderful dress called Shiraz and it costs only 175Ls. Shiraz comes with earrings, necklace, and a purse. Add EMO-tion's Bella hair and you have a look for 420Ls. Who says cheap isn't chic?

Please Note: The items placed in the BeStyle District Gypset are available for only a limited time and once gone it won't come back. Most of the time, after a month, the designers change their item. Also, to shop at Gypset you must be a group member. No cost to join the group just a group space. Happy shopping!
