"June Bugs"

It's the second week of Taste of SL and this week's theme is June Bugs. There are so many cute adorable things. While shopping, I was thinking of this amazing place that I discovered while I was bored one evening and actually just managed to take Tyrone here last night. Never Never Land is magical, romantic hideaway with so many areas to explore, cuddle or just dance.


{dollipops} is new to the TOSL lineup. This week there were two items...this adorable dress with matching necklace, bangles and shoes(which I'm not wearing because I like to be barefoot so much) and then a set of really cute poses.

The last look...I was thrilled bout the swing from Baffle! and the necklace from LacieCakes. I paired it with the dress from League that wasn't apart of the TOSL. Just on a side note....don't go out searching for the swing at Never Never Land, because you won't be able to find it...lol.

Happy Birthday Alexohol....

This week Alexohol turns 1. I'm partial because of two reasons...

1. I'm the manager there.
2. My two longest and bestest(yes, I said bestest) friends own and run Alexohol.

So Happy, Happy birthday Alexohol and congrats to AlexandraM Guisse and Kylie Krell for making it a year. I remember being TP'd to the first store, I remember the day those two asked me to help them out.....I remember moving the store around the grid on SL...I remember the fun, the laughing, the stressing, yeah even maybe a few mistakes. It has been an amazing year and I'm glad I've been apart of it.

In honor of this great event, there are two FREE outfits out in the store. One for girls and one for guys. The girls outfit is an awesome pink and white dress with two skirt options shown below. Make sure to stop over and pick up this awesome freebie.

"Taste of a Project Brigade"

The weekend deals in SL always grab my attention...it's a ritual. 50L and Rockin Fridays are fun but then what do you do on Saturday and Sunday? Taste of SL (TOSL), Project Themeory and the Stumblebum Brigade are my three weekend weaknesses.

TOSL was just started and this weekend is it's first. It has already added stores to the lineup over the weekend. Each week there is a selected theme and typically it's 50% off the normal price but nothing is to exceed 250L. You can find a lot of awesome deals like the ones below.

BoHo Girl

Today I kept searching for a "look," which typically isn't hard with the vast amount of clothes in my inventory. I'm discovering things I never knew I had because slowly...well very, very slowly, I'm organizing the mayhem that is known as Em's Inventory. So while sitting and thinking, I received Truth's update for the week and there it was in the form of "BoHo." Instantly, I knew this was it....

Black and Blue Fair

The Black and Blue Fair , focused on creating an awareness of the various Mental Health Issues, has so many talented designers participating. In every purchase, there are notecards discussing a specific topic and also hot lines that you can reach out to if you or someone you know needs help. Although the fair isn't based on raising lindens for a specific charity, the need to educate about all the possible Mental Health Illnesses is extremely important. This is just one shirt from the fair but there will be more posts of all the wonderful items available coming soon.

Strawberries....yummmm

So if anyone knows about the RL me, it is that I love, love, love strawberries. I can never get enough and in fact, I'm eating strawberries right now as I'm typing this. When I got the notecard from *BOOM* with their release for the Project Themeory this weekend, I think I screamed in excitement. The dress is still on special through today for 75L. You get the dress (which is shown in the pic below) but you also get a bikini, bangles and a bag.

Bikini Paradise

Lately in SL I've been all about bein' a beach bum. If it isn't a bikini or cute shorts, I just don't wanna wear it. So I have been searching out new bikinis and swimsuits because apparently my already filled folder of bikinis just isn't enough. Alexohol, INDI Designs and TGIS all have awesome suits that are perfect for runnin around SL in sexy bikinis.

The first picture is me just having a lot of fun with editing pictures but I thought it looked awesome so I put it in here and of course...I'm sporting a sexy bikini from Alexohol.

Trashy Girls in Style(TGIS) is an awesome store that I happened upon in one of my searches for new stores in SL. They have everything from sexy lingerie to club clothes to comfy jammies. They just release these awesome swimsuits. I purchased the white and black version as well as the one in the picture but there are a few other prints as well that I will probably go get.
