50L$ Friday! ~ OMG I actually bought something this time...

I have gone through the list of 50L Friday items for weeks now, never purchasing a thing!  Not for lack of good items, but nothing jumped out at me I guess.  I was about to log off, and I got the new list from my subscribe group @ lamb.  I decided to check things out, as anyone who's done these kind of things knows ... even though it's time the items aren't always out lol.  I went anyway, wasn't doing anything and I was curious to see whatever was out.  I went through the whole list once again, and went to bed.  There were a few places that weren't ready and nothing else that I wanted to buy at that time.  Maybe I was tired lol.  Anyway, sometime tonight I decided to finish it before it was all over so off I went to all the places because i had forgotten where I had been and what I hadn't seen yet.  Then I got to *Shai* and saw these leather skirts.  I've been searching for a pencil skirt for a few weeks now that I like, and even though these aren't exactly that I loved them!  They were 50L per color, or a fat pack for 180L.  Clearly, we know what I chose!  The top is actually very old LOL, Gio bought it for me many moons ago when we first started dating.  It has 3 transparency levels and the bra to wear underneath the more see-thru tops.  I don't know why I decided to find this particular top but alas, I did and I think I like it lol.  It's from LUXUS, and I might stop over there and see what's changed in the last 2 years!

I've been to the next shop plenty of times, not just for 50L Fridays.  There are some really adorable items and its all very girly and cutesy.  It's called *So Many Styles* and I like the little bubble dresses, but I digress I'm not blogging about those today.  The shirt is cute, and well made so I snatched it up and went on about my merry shopaholic way.  The messenger bag is a sweet little color changeable group gift from MIEL, and Bermuda shorts from MYTH.  The hair is W&Y, I think I got it at Hair Fair last year if I'm not mistaken.  I could be...

All in all I think it was a pretty satisfactory shopping night!  Too bad there's not more guy items out there so I can drag Gio along for our usual shenanigans.  If any of you have fun 50L items to share, feel free!  I'm super nosy :)

On our first official 'SL date to shop together', Gio and I were looking for formalwear. We both enjoyed going to the clubs, allowing our avatars to dance the night away and just act silly together in IM. He's very mellow, loved the fact that SL is riddled with romantic clubs with romantical slow music lol. I love music, and loved being with him so I didn't care where we went. Back then, and really still to this day it's not easy to find good quality, sexy mens clothing. When you do, its almost like you've hit the lotto. God forbid the place closes down or something, SL is so woman-centric when it comes to fashion. The same is true for RL really, but its not quite so needle in a haystack.

In reality, i'm pretty picky with my lindens...even now. We went to a bunch of stores and I couldn't find a thing that I liked. I was so set on finding something I actually wanted because I was using MY LINDENS! that it took forever, Gio couldn't find anything either and we ended up in those horrid freebie outfits lol. At the end of the day I guess it didn't matter because we spent no time conversing with anyone else. We were just 2 avi's in our own little world, dancing the SL night away. Eventually, we did get some better clothing but that was quite a bit of time away hehe. My very first outfit I ever bought with my own lindens was from MYTH. It was a complete and total coincidence that Aeris ended up being my 'boss' and then & still my friend. I didn't even know where I was when I bought it. Just liked it, wore it for days and saw it later and said 'HEY! I HAVE THAT!!' The first dress I bought was a beautiful, shiny, poofy dress that could be worn 2 ways so I thought omg what a bargain! Interestingly enough, I wasn't shopping for dresses when I found it. I was in a hair shop, if that's not the silliest thing ever. The dress was somewhere between 350-500L$ and I sat there debating the purchase for at least 20 minutes. I bought it tho, because it was so pretty in my opinion...more pretty than most of the things I had come to see on SL thus far. I bought it, threw on my best updo and the most decent pair of shoes I owned and we danced! Still to this day, I can wear that dress so yeah...I call it a great purchase.

The reason I rambled on about all that is because I was out randomly shopping around for the pretty things, and I came back across Zaara. I purchased a cute yellow top and mentally shopped for some jewelry. RL called, so I had to keep it all in my head until I go back. The indian asthetic, the beauty of the clothing and the timelessness of the pieces are rare. How many times have you dropped crazy amounts of Lindens for something you wore once or twice? I'll still be pulling out that beautiful dress when Gio and I are out dancing with our handicapped HUD's on.

[eStyle] Skins

Giovanni: where are ya babe?
Anjelyc: oh, i'm at aeris & mit's look...
Anjelyc: hey! wtf...where am i?
Giovanni: that's what I asked...

Is it just me? Or do those random tp's where you get an explanation after you get there a bit...what is the word...help me out here...ANNOYING! Oh muh goodness if you want me to go somewhere just tell me k? OK! lol. So, as you may have guessed that little story is the preface for my latest find. I was minding my own business, writing a notecard and mentally re-evaluating my inventory and low & behold I was in a very crowded shop. Apparently, someone who shall remain nameless tp'd me because someone on her list was harassing her about getting a midnight madness board filled. I was slightly aggrivated about it because I had not even realized I was there and then the people there were literally yelling at everyone in the shop to make sure they had hit the board. There was an abundance of 'SLAP IT!' and 'DID EVERYONE IN HERE HIT THE BOARD? WE GOTTA REACH 450!' Yeah...

Anyway, I did it because I didn't want to get mauled in my new outfit and then I took a quick cam around the store. The skin is seeming really very pretty, so I go in for a closer look. I grabbed a few demo's and ran back to my unofficial room at Aeris & Mit's lol. I loooved the skin on me, and I was inspired to ask the owner if I could blog his store. He was so receptive, gave me the warmest yes I ever done got lol. I am always quite iffy with skin stores, I know they don't like to give up their jems. A one Mr. Dragos Janus welcomed the opportunity and sent some review copies of his latest releases and here I am! This is the quickest i've ever got a blog together because well...I tend to ramble and proofread like a crazy person. I do hope to get a few blogs a week out but that doesn't happen much lol. I digress, this blog is about skin hello. The details on this skin are so awesome, the eyeshadow actually looked like it was twinkling lol. It might have been a bit of sleep deprivation as well but i'm telling you it was shining at me. The color of the skin is so what I go for, a nice golden tan not like a jersey-shore-i-look-like-i-bathe-in-spray-tan orange. Upon camming in close, I saw this shadowing on the face that made my cheekbones look absolutely to die for. Its the first skin that I noticed actually complimented the way I made the shape of my face. Plus, how cute do my lips look with that skin. All the little body details are fab as well and overall its just a really great place to get some awesome skin. The amount of makeup colors is staggering I swear. The size of the folder is shocking hehe. I would advise you all to do what I did, go grab some demo's - try them on and bask in your hotness! I will surely be traipsing around SL looking for the next thing to chat chit about in my new eStyle skin!


Thought i'd add that the price of the fat pack is insanely reasonable considering i've paid that price for 2-3 skins LOL go see 4 urself...that's my lil p.s. for today! See you all again next time! ~*~SL Smooches!~*~
