Yes, because from now on, my blog titles will be dates. I can't be bothered to find a smart title, I'm lazy like that. But you already knew that, right? 

I don't shop often at Maitreya, because I don't have much money in SL and let's face it, their stuff isn't exactly cheap. However, when I received their update notecard yesterday, I started drooling and ran to spend all my l$. I'm really very happy with my purchases and you know what? I may be broke now but it was worth every linden. I bought the new Kala dress and the Moccasin boots and I'm in love! They are made specifically to fit the Lara body, so no alpha needed. I just had to remember to wear panties...

Collabor 88 - June 2015 - Post #1

Hello!

Collabor 88 is probably my favourite event on the grid. It features amazing stores and, although I'm a bit disappointed that everything is not 88l$ like it used to be, I have to admit the quality of the items sold there widely make up for the slightly higher price. 

This is the first of several posts on this month's event, because I bought so many gorgeous things that I want to show you that I couldn't do it in just one post without breaking my one outfit / one post rule.

I'm opening the ball with the most adorable outfit, in bright pink shades. As you probably know if you've been following this blog, red is my favourite colour, in both lives. The shorts and top are from Tee*Fy, the shoes (that I had to tint slightly) are from Fri.Day, the hair from Clawtooth, the earrings from Maxi Gossamer and the poses from Marukin (not all from this round but all from C88).

Collabor 88 - May 2012

I have been waiting for 3 days for Collabor 88 to open. The reason was this hair. I've always been very fond of Bubbles Clawtooth's unique style, but I would seldom wear their hair because there was a stiffness about them that bothered me. Thanks to mesh, it is no more an issue and I can fully enjoy my new Glamazon hair. I think I'm going to be wearing that style for a while.

While I was at Collabor 88, I figured I might as well take a look at the rest of the items... It was a good idea, except for my wallet, because I bought quite a few things... including that very lovely  Gaby skin from IrEn. For some reason, it reminds me of Dicey Tillerman, the heroin of my favorite children book of all times. I think it's what she would look like as a grown up.

My picture of the Daydream Flying Dome from Trompe l'Oeil definitely doesn't do it justice, but you can go check Cory Edo's blog for more pictures before braving the crowd at C88.

The Camille outfit by Tres Blah (for C88) is a one piece mesh skirt and cableknit sweater. It comes in various colors and has a sweet and romantic vibe about it that I really like. I matched it with the perfect Jude boots in nutmeg that I grabbed at Culture Shock in the Ingenue booth.

Ack! I almost forgot to credit the poses! They are all from Marukin, a new to me store, that I discovered at C88.
