Just a Sassy Cali Girl

Well, East Coast girls are hip,

I really dig those styles they wear,

And the Southern girls with the way they talk

They knock me out when I'm down there

The Mid-West farmers' daughters 

Really make you feel all right

And the Northern girls with the way they kiss

They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California 

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls

The West Coast has the sunshine 

And the girls all get so tanned

I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island

Dolls by a palm tree in the sand

I been all round this great, big world

And I seen all kind of girls

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States

Back to the cutest girls in the world

~ "California Girls" by The Beach Boys

You'll be one of the cutest girls in the world in the Jack or Jill Hunt Prize from Sassy!, Cali Cutie.  This knotted mesh top comes in five sizes and also includes black mesh shorts which I decided not to wear in this photo.  Instead, I chose to don Lily jeans in light blue from even.flow.  The floral trim on these jeans looks like it was designed to coordinate with my latest hunt prize.  A double stranded pearl necklace and vintage heart necklace from the Vintage Jewellery Set from *League* contributes to the soft, feminine feel of my outfit.   

Over my Chloe Medium Skin from Belleza, I've layered a lip color gift from Mock Cosmetics called Hypershine Lipcolor in Raspberry Wine.  The Mock Cosmetics group has a fee to join, but Mockie is so generous with the group gifts she bestows upon members.  I'm also wearing Miss Vanity Eyeshadow in Neutra, also available at Mock Cosmetics.  Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics frame my Sunrise Eyes in Light Green from Ikon.  Caramel hair from [elikatira], available for a greatly reduced price during the 70% off sale frames my lovely face.

A Valentine Cutie

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?  ~Author Unknown

Ahh well, even if love is not blind, you will definitely look gorgeous in this Valentine Nightie in Rose which is the Cupid's Arrow Hunt Prize from Sakide.  Featuring a soft pink texture dotted with white hearts, this silk nightie also comes with slippers and a companion nightie in lavender if pink is not your color.  Who could resist the off-the-shoulder strap?  Coordinating beautifully with the mellow pink tone of the dress is Chloe Pale (cleavage), a group gift from Belleza.  I chose to layer Miss Vanity Eyeshadow in Neutral from Mock Cosmetics and Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics over this creamy skin.  Gazing out from beneath these lush lashes are Eternal Eyes in Storm from Ikon.  My necklace is almost free...it's just one linden.  Hailing from Beloved Jewelry, this hammered silver necklace will fit into just about any budget.  Elikatira's 70% off Retirement Sale is still going strong, but will end soon.  I scooped up Sound (okay, and just a *few* other hairstyles - wink) there.  Head on over and stock up before the sale comes to an end!

Jewels by the Shore

In striking, jewel-toned stripes, you will surely turn heads while on a stroll down the beach or wherever you wander.  Valentina E. Couture's Tank Dress Stripes is a gift you can find at FaMESHed, and it's destined to become one of my favorites.  The package contains five sizes, so finding one to fit your avatar is a snap.  London, my newest purchase from Truth hair, falls in soft waves to the waist.  Just barely peeking out from behind my tresses, and more visible in the picture below, is my Emily Necklace from Burroughs Jewelry, which I have customized to match the rich hues of my frock.  To better display this lovely accessory, I switched to Cheyenne hair from Truth for my second shot. 

In both photos, I am wearing my favorite skin from Belleza, which I keep returning to time and time again:  Chloe.  Layered over this gorgeous skin, and creating a stunning combination, are some more fashion-can't-do-withouts from Mock Cosmetics:  Miss Vanity Eyeshadow in soft brown, Deeply Moving Eyeliner in Black, and Crema Lipcolor in Cranberry Crush.  My eyes in both photos are from Ikon, which has the best quality eyes in all of Second Life.  In the top photo, I am wearing Sunrise Eyes in Light Green and in the photo below, I switched to Eternal Eyes in Storm.  Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics completed my look.

Vivid Wednesday Candy

With fun, striped purple and black sleeves, this mesh hoodie from Ducknipple snuggles your arms, but shows off those sexy abs, too.  Best of all, it's free as part of the Jack or Jill Hunt.  After all those hours in the SL gym (yeah right ;P), I can afford to indulge in some Wednesday Candy, as long as it's from Essences at TDR Fusion.  Here, I am showing the light rose version, but you can also pick up the pale dust and sunkissed tones as well.  Also included with the skin is a contour blush which I have on in the picture.  I toned down the lips in this skin by smoothing on Alluring Lip Color in Mythic from Mock Cosmetics, a gift recently sent to group members.  Honoriable eyeliner in black, also from Mock, and tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics completed my make up.  Vivid hair from Elikatira comes with a color change hair ribbon, shown in amethyst.

Lost Angel

Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place. 

~ Terri Guillemets

La Nuit du Chasseur from World's End Garden is a fabulous gift for group members.  With a sexy, gathered bodice, elbow length gloves, a floral waistband and a long, flowing skirt that is bare in the front to give a glimpse of gartered stockings, this gown is one hot number!  Best of all, the group is free to join, and there are several other gifts available for members as well.  I chose to don my favorite pair of boots from Bax rather than the shoes that are included with La Nuit.  My lost angel wings from Dirtyland Clothes and Accessories add a whimsical touch.

It's hard to believe this gorgeous skin from Dulce Secrets is just 55L!  It's offered as part of Fifty5 Thursdays (and will be available through the weekend only, so if you like it, don't delay).  Machelle in Malibu bare is a flawless skin with a tiny beauty mark under the right eye.  In the photo below, you get a better look at this lovely skin.  To accent Sunrise Eyes in Deep Steel Blue from Ikon, I have added a freebie from Mock Cosmetics called Miss Vanity Eye Sampler.  I like the soft violet tone of this eye shadow.  Honoriable Eyeliner in black and Priscilla Eyelashes also from Mock Cosmetics completed the look.

My hair is a new release from Truth called Laurie.  This style features long hair pulled back from the face into a loose braid that reaches all the way down the back.  It makes for a softly feminine, romantic look.   A lacey looking heart-shaped -necklace called Forbidden Crest from .phresh. is my only accessory.

Cynful Shyla

In a carton of strawberry milk, I found a wonderfully Cynful surprise.... Vale's Sweatshirt dress, which is a prize in the Hello Titty Hunt.  You can read about the hunt here and access landmarks and hints.  The deep teal shade of this dress matches the eyeshadow on Shyla, a new release from Belleza.  The only additions I have made to this lovely skin are lashes which were an old group gift from Filthy Skins (no longer available) and Honoriable Eyeliner in Black from Mock Cosmetics.  In this photo, I am wearing Shyla Medium 15, which is a perfect combination with another new release from Catwa called Ladymana.  The texture-changing hooded shrug is included with this hairstyle.  I used the optional Ladymana HUD Pro, which allows the ability to select from 44 different textures.  It's an additional fee of 250L, but it opens up so many possibilities!  My mesmerizing gaze comes from Sunrise Eyes in Carribean Blue from Ikon.

The Details:
Dress:  Vale's Sweatshirt Dress from Cynful (0L)
Skin:  Shyla from Belleza (1200L)
Eyeliner:  Honoriable Eyeliner from Mock Cosmetics (40L)
Hair:  Ladymana from Catwa (250L)
