I want to ride my...

Eloise had been out riding all day, through the fields and down the rutted tracks, her blue bike could handle the terrain. it had been a long, hot day, and she had enjoyed the time with her friends in the countryside. Stopping by the river, upstream, well before the pollution of the town hit, they had waded in the cool green water under the shade of the trees. Spreading out the blanket they had shared a picnic amongst the flowers that bloomed wild in the meadow, a playful reminder of childhood days gone by, the plastic cups of sparkling wine a cheerful nod to their adult state. As the sun passed through the sky, and started its descent it was time to head back to town, after all, she had a date. Emerging from her rented rooms, showered and fresh, still smelling of sun and daisies she was dressed to meet Jacques, brushing some tangled grass from the gears, she was ready.
 Snapshot_308 They had meet one hot day, a few weeks before, when Eloise had stumbled with some friends into the quiet cafe, their loud laughter and chatter fading in the sombre atmosphere. The cafe was, after all, a refuge for the great and the good of the town from the heat of offices and courtrooms. Retreating to one of the tables outside, shaded by the large parasols, yet with no protection from the noise and bustle of the street, the tables were less popular, and much more suitable. Jacques had noticed her straight away, not the loudest, or the most confident ordering, her sweet smile and clear laugh captured his heart. Risking the ire of the strict manager, as he cleared their table, he slipped a scrap of paper on which he had written his number into her hand along with the receipt. That same evening, they met and rode out for the first time. Bikes1 Now each evening, they kept this rendez-vous. Of course, they didn't just ride. The bike was quiet, and could get past the guards in the factory district. Away from the streets and cafes, often busy long into the summer nights, they headed where they wanted. Following the music from illicit parties, or just the flight of a bird, they were free of care and concerns. Stopping often, not tied by the roads, they shared kisses and promises, and would remain forever, even if only that summer, Jacques & Eloise. Bike2

Ambiguous figures




 My favourites from the current round in XYROOM are these! in particular a flawless mid toned skin with pale lips by Av!Sage, Im really impressed with this skin I have to say and a test of which is how it suits different shapes, so I tried in on various shapes that I have lurking in m inventory and it suited them all! now that is testament to a good skin if you ask me. In this round there's plenty of poses and stuff for the fella's too which is always nice to see, in my opinion it's the best discount room that actually caters for the guys out there.

Your inner bunny



yibh


How to keep up with all these hunts! wow so many to choose from. I'm currently picking my way through the 'your inner bunny hunt' and here are a few from some of my favorite designers. let me start with the hair which comes with the cutesy bunny ears from Sugarsmack, it comes in 2 shades a blonde & brunette.

 Next the outfit from 22769 Love everything about this one! OH the shorts! I really love the turn ups - I know it's an odd thing to adore but I usually have problems with turn ups either I have to attach prims to a different body part so that I can wear my footwear & they end up floating off when I walk or I have to faff around resizing but these are perfect & I love the cute sexy backless top too. There also as always with 22769 a male version in the hunt gift, see these guys are just sooooo thoughtful.

Then onto the skin, when I saw that Al Vulo where taking part in the hunt I made that store a priority as I absolutely love the tone of the make ups and this one has a quirky little tribal theme , ok so it might look a little like I have a goaty beard so let me provide a closer image ;P (see below)

 I also wanted to quickly mention the sneakers I picked these up at last weeks fifty linden Friday event and always hyperventilate when I see that Miel are taking part in the event - sorry if you missed out but they are well worth their full price value. They have a colour change script & you can change every single element of the shoe, even the logo on the side from a picture to your initials, I can see me wearing these forever!

 The bunny hunt items are 1L each bargain! please look Here for a list of hints &  landmarks of participating stores.

Favorites from the hunts


hunts


I wanted to share some of my very favorite items from all those splendid hunts going on at the moment.  Hunts are such great fun and what I love most about taking part is the discovery along the way. Sometimes I visit sims that I never knew existed & get to find great stores from little known designers as well as re-discovering the greats that I had forgotten about. I've also picked up a few friends along the way too, so a great thanks to all the effort from designers and the people that organize the hunts you're all contributing to  bringing a nice little community together!

For a shoeless day on the beach



 I had a lovely pair of shoes to blog about but would they rez?! grrr no! so I decided to kick them off and go shoeless on the beach.

If you want to grab this look for yourself then I suggest you head to the hair fair before it's closure on the 15th July.

 I do so love hair & avoided the hair fair like the plague which was a killer for me but my lag issues would have just sent me over the edge even as a bald naked thing...oh but am I glad I went! and I'm glad I waited.

 Well there's some really wacky designs but what an opportunity to go wild! I however decided to stick with some of the more conservative styles - this time anyway :) and here is my favourite freebie one from a store that I'm already familiar with but I also managed to acquaint myself with some wonderful new stores that I never knew existed! all for a great cause too.

Hair: 0L - audra roots - stefani mix by Exile @ > The hair fair
Hat: 30L - summer  fold hat - The fashion garret
Scarf: 0L - multi texture bandana > Muu workshop
Top: 1L - every day tank > Crazy
Skirt: 0L - luckyboard item > !1mm
Bag: 75L- sunday straw tote > PiCHi
bracelet: 0L - group gift - chum bracelet > Miel

Good Friday




 Good Friday! well on a non-religious point, this is a fashion post afterall, I'm certainly having a good Friday so far with my bargains. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to a lovely lady who goes by the name Xanthe Audeburgh who has been feeding my hair habit! not only does she give me great tip offs as to where to get great hair, she's a fellow blogger and also has a great store that sells perfectly proportioned shapes (CS Shapes) so have a sneaky look at her blog. So it's safe to say I love this hair which is an opening gift at Holic.

I do have to say a few quick words about the skin. For some reason I've never had an addiction to skin in quite the same way that I have for hair & shoes, but recently that has changed somewhat. I love the skins at Shine and previously blogged the mix & match skin & shape gift (which is still available). They are so pretty & exoctic looking, which is quite a contrast to my usual tone so I love it. There is a MM board & luckychair instore if you want to sample them for yourself, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Hair: L$0 opening gift > Holic
Hat & glasses: L$0 seasons hunt gift > Deco
Scarf: L$245 linen scarf (8 colour change textures) > Miel
Skin: L$900  Katie natural/tan/cleavage2 > Shine
Top: L$0 seasons hunt gift > Alphavillain
Trousers: L$0 seasons hunt gift > This is a fawn
Shoes: L$30 Gacha item > Mocha

A little Spring Seasons hunting




How many amazing hunt items are there in the new seasons hunt? blinkin loads that's what! I haven't even got a quarter of the way through, but I love everything so far! If you've not done a seasons hunt before , you need to join the group inworld, look in notices and pick up the hunt list, there are no clues that I know of, but if you're stuck ask in group and I'm sure someone will give you a hint. P.s you're looking for a lil bumble bee.I absolutely love this outfit, the colours are so vibrant and fresh! 




The glasses, jacket, and vest are hunt items but as soon as I saw this gorgeous jacket I knew instinctively what I would put with it, yes these fabulous hareem pants from 22769. They are not a hunt item, but if you want them and frankly I don't know who wouldn't?! they do come as part of an outfit along with a cute floral blouse, so you're literally getting 2 for the price of one! Oh yeah you know you can count on me for a good deal!

Hair: L$280 - GIC128 hair - brown > Boon
Glasses: L$0 seasons hunt item> Epoque
Jacket: L$0 seasons hunt item > The secret store
Vest: L$0 seasons hunt item > Ingenue
Trousers: L$210 Part of the flora dress outfit > 22769
Belt: Former 50L friday item unable to find instore (Miel) 
Shoes: L$190 Hippy shoes - brown Les petits details

Fade to grey



Still on my masculine/feminine theme I've thrown together a few items from the menstuff hunt ( look for the black t.shirt icon ) . I love these shorts which are a group gift ( mens) at bubblez . You can edit them so that the gusset prim hangs lower making them a baggy hareem style pant. The boots are also a group gift from Mary Jane shoes and have a colour change hud I LOVE colour change huds! The shirt which is from SB menswear in the menstuff hunt has various options too being short/long sleeve, tucked/untucked shirt & buttoned/unbuttoned collar. I love items that are adaptable like that , it shows a lot of clever thought on the designers part in my opinion and of course much better value for your linden. That is when you buy their full price items tee hee! so whilst I love to grab a bargain ( don't we all ) the freebies we collect are also a good representation of the quality you can expect from the designers, and therefore encouraging to purchase full price items. I know it's helped me discover my favourites.

Shirt: Free menstuff hunt gift > SB menswear
Vest: Free menstuff hunt gift > 22769
Shorts: Free group gift > Bubblez
Boots: Free group gift ( group gift has changed since I started this post now some stilettos) > Mary jane shoes
Belt: Former FLF item > Miel

Getting sidetracked



So my little project of blogging mens clothes has been put on the back burned a little, just a temporary thing  I'm sure. Trouble is I can help getting sidetracked! just as I think I have a great outfit that I want to blog, I get a notecard informing me of something new and exciting that I simply must have! well it helps me experiment. As a rookie blogger , to say my editing/photography skills are practically non existent would be a huge under statement! Good thing the bargains are so great! The top from SMS is my favourite item this year, and the 50L friday belt from Miel is a very close second. There are 2 belts of the same design with 4 choices of texture change shades, so in effect you have 8 belts this fantastic for 100L ?! amazing!

Top: Free group gift > SMS
Belt: L$50 - natural ( fifty linden friday ) grab it while you can! >  Miel
Trousers: Free gift ( lm currently under construction ) > Cool beans
Boots: L$1 - courtisanne @ > Enky's dollar store
