SL À La Mode

Love it when...

Every now and then the SL Gawds will stick you in the right place at the right time.  In the midst of all my Thanksgiving baking, (btw I hope everyone that celebrates had a fantastic one!) I signed on to make sure I was up on all my 5 million things to do everyday.  I was sifting note cards, and as many subscribers as I'm on I have at least 8 every time I sign on.  Crazy right?  Alot of the time they're doubles because I've been offline all day, and sometimes I just know I don't need them and poof there they go.  Do you see how I start to ramble and completely get off topic? Anyway, I hesitated but ended up opening a note card for another hunt.  Slightly burnt out on hunts now, I tried to prove to myself I could finish one which I kind of did I think but that was only because it wasn't very big lol.  Well, I hadn't been to the shop in awhile and it was a hunt that you pay for the items not a free one so I tend to like those a bit more.  They have nicer items, and less fighting for the items than when they are free hehe.  I got an adorable dress from SwanSong for 10L and then my attention diverted and I just started roaming around the sim.  There was a large building with a name I had never heard of, so I swishy-walked right over there and checked it out.  The name was Peqe, and it said formerly Fume which I had also never heard of.  I was in a slight state of shock and dismay, because looking around I could tell I liked the designs of the shop and only finding it now I could only agonize on what I had missed in the past.





This dress caught my eye right away from the texture, to the cut and style but can we talk about the shape of the shoulders? LOVE. How delish is that back? And of course it goes fantastical with my Similar Footwear. The dress itself has a pretty kind of glowy shine to it that is thankfully not over the top and latex looking as well as the super femme waist bow. What can I say? I like it! There were so many more items that I wish I could have added to the story but I am a poor blogger on a tight SL budget lol. I couldn't resist purchasing these though, just to give you guys a taste of this amazing new find. I want to add so you all know that there were ankle boots that matched the dresses, and another style of this kind of dress was White Croc, and there were MATCHING BOOTS. Ugh, you have no idea how hard it was to TP out of there with a few lindens intact.







Now that I look at it, I didn't really show off the fact that I was wearing two different skirts. But, hey I'll let you all know now it was a flat mini and a prim frilly [yep, thats how I describe them] and I like them both! Again, rockin my Similar Footwear lol [shameless plug] and I love the lace in the top and black and white rose skirt. It is so girly and cute, I mean how can you not love how you look in a dress like that?? In addition, Peqe is part of the With Love From...hunt and I got a cute little Tartan Red Plaid dress that I haven't had the time yet to snap a photo in. Take a moment and stop by, seriously I have at least 5 more outfits in my head that I want to get at some point. One of course being that White Croc dress and boots, and there was a Peacock Feather Skirt, or tank dress or mini dress also and they are all adorable! There are tops, pants, everything! Go right now and then show me what you couldn't live without *lol*

Nowadays, everyone is all about the tattoo layer makeup.  It is popping up everywhere, in skin shops and even in clothing shops!  I was...I think I was working and dodging group notices here and there when somehow I came across a listing for a sim that supposedly looks like Manhattan.  Being a NY'er I got all excited and wanted to see what it looked like as well as how it resembled the real deal.  So I patiently played tug of war with the time clock and when it was time to leave, I punched out and TP'd right over to this sim.  I landed in a shop, but I didn't know it was a shop right away being that everything was so gray.  Apparently alot of work went into that sim so I was excited to wander around a little bit and check out the build, as well as the shops on the sim.  We all know I can't resist an impromptu shopping spree. 




So, once the shop started to rez I saw a box with lips on it. It was for tat layer lipstick and it was like...I don't know...60L maybe? I can't remember for sure and my viewer is acting up right now so I can't check. Not that I would...well I might. Anyway, I've become somewhat obsessed with finding a skin for myself that has that perfect dark red lip for the smoldering latina evening look lol. Yep, that's what I call it! As of now, I haven't found it and I am still looking but these tattoo layers could be the answer to my prayers. I have a bunch of skins that I love love LOVEEE but the lips aren't dark red. Pinks, yep and nudes oh I've got a bunch. I love the dark smokey eye with the nude lip look. I even go for it in RL, so I went a tad overboard with that. I just want one skin to have the tone I'm looking for and I can end this madness once and for all! *LOL* As for the tattoo layers, I haven't found the shade of red I'm looking for as of now so I hope to randomly come across it and excitedly tell you all about it.



Once I had rezzed, I realized I was in a shop that was specifically created to make and sell tattoo layered makeups! There is a definite variety of the genre you can just delve right in and make yourself at home putting together a million looks right there in your head lol.  Some of them weren't really what I would call my style, but I know alot of models out there love the extreme fierce look and the dark makeup or dramatic colors.  I have to say the variety is really what stuck with me.  So, even though I am completely overrun with the amount of groups I have I joined this one also.  I don't think I'll be leaving it, to be honest.  The owner is super nice, chats with the group and asks opinions of her customers.  She has started making skins, all the skins and layer makeups in the pictures here are hers.



In the 3 days that I have been a member of the group I think she's sent out 3 or 4 gifts.  At least 2 have been skins from the new line she is working on!  I've never been in a group like that before haha, but it's totally fun and everyone is polite...the gifts are awesome.  I bought a fantastic layer makeup called 'The Clone' that comes in black & white in the same box and its such a shame I refuse to use V2 [so hard! waaaah] because they are 2 part face tats and I can't wear it yet!  I hope TPV's can allow us that also because I'd really enjoy showing it off!

Soooo have I kept you waiting long enough? Hehe...the name of the shop is Elegant Epiffany and it is owned by Bubble Faintree!  For the Budget Impaired on SL, she has gatcha available and also lucky chair.  Group members can participate in Midnight Madness or...is that what it's called? I think so!  There is a group gift at the shop, and like I said random one's via the group itself.  I'd recommend joining if you enjoy wearing the makeup layers.  It's a great, affordable new little place with enough different styles that anyone can find something they'd enjoy! And at some point I have to go back...because I never did check out the rest of that sim build...

I don't really have one. Most of the things I blog, I purchased. I am always honored if someone enjoys my writing enough to send me an item to add to the blog. When I have the time to do so, I certainly will. I do alot of events blogging and work so sometimes it does take a bit and I apologize for that! Thank you in advance for thinking of me.
