a fairy’s tale

Posted on May 25, 2013 by laylahlecker

I’m a big fan of tattoos in real life, but I only have a few. I have to make sure I really want it…you know what I mean? However, in SL, we can wear as many or as little as we want and change whenever the mood strikes. If you want to make a romantic gesture, try on Cake’s “Tattoo Fairy” so your honey can read how much he or she means to you.

The poem goes like this:

I love you for giving your heart to me

and trusting me with your pride
I love you for wanting me
and needing me by your side

I love you for the emotions
I never knew I had
I love you for making me smile
Whenever I was sad

I love you for your thoughts of me
because I’m always on your mind
I love you for being that missing part of me
that I thought I would never find

I love you for the way you are
and for how you make me feel
But most of all I love you
because I know you’re mine for real

by Ashley Anderson

Aww! Sweet huh? I hunted down the writer, and there is a small difference but it mostly seems like Cake grammatically cleaned it up. Which is always nice! My real life sister got a tattoo and the novice tattoo artist misspelled a word. Yikes! Anyway, you can find the tattoo at a promo price (65L) over at Acid Lily, but probably for only one more day before they clear out and make room for the next round of deals.

I <3 Nerds and Boys

Posted on May 18, 2013 by laylahlecker

Now that I’m older, I realize it’s totally ok for others to label me as a nerd. It sure sucked when I was younger though 😛

Ok…minor vent over! I didn’t intend for my latest post to delve into my childhood insecurities. I suppose it just happened organically because of Liv Glam’s Molly. The mesh mini dress has a variety of textures to choose from and my favorites were “Nerd” and “Boy.”

You’ll find both versions on sale this weekend, so if you love nerds and boys, check them out. Click here for your ride to Liv Glam.

Have you headed down to Acid Lily Gallery yet? You can find LMD’s Charlotte there for a promo price of 70L. It has such a tropical feel to it. If it were a bit later in the day, I would have accessorized it with a fruity cocktail with a little umbrella. However, it was still relatively early in the afternoon for me 😉

It comes in other colors too, so you have a nice selection to choose from. By the way, I shot this picture at Hathors Garden’s Crystal Cave. If you’ve been looking for in-world photo opportunities, you should definitely visit.

an almost summer day’s green dream

Posted on May 14, 2013 by laylahlecker

Acid Lily Gallery has new collection out for conscientious shoppers, and it seems summer is in the air. Duck or Swan’s Kiki skin is gloriously tanned, while Lavanda Chic’s colorful maxi skirt affords the opportunity to wear a crop top and show off some skin. By the way, the skirt comes in other colors, but I was in a green type of mood.

Also, Candy Metal’s Suvi Platforms will be a cute addition to any warm weather outfit. The foot texture is rather nice, and while it’s always difficult to predict everyone’s wind light settings, it’s easy enough to find a tone that fits your skin and your favorite wind light. Click here for your ride to Acid Lily Gallery!

PS…

There are two group gifts at Acid Lily. I already blogged about LMD’s Jilly maxi dress in blue, but I thought you should know it’s one of the gifts for you. Make sure to join Acid Lily’s in-world group in order to get your free gifts. Happy shopping!

a foreign affair

Posted on May 12, 2013 by laylahlecker

Yesterday, I had quite the adventure in Milan.

Wearing Prism Babe by Journey – Daisy

The train rolled in, but he wasn’t on board.

Ooh, I wonder where she got her dress.

Wearing Egoisme – Sundress – Watercolors Multi, Evian Petra pale skin, and free Egoisme Smartphone gift

Maybe he missed it. I guess I’ll go shopping as I wait for the next train to roll in.

Gorgeous new gowns…I want them all! Hmm…maybe it’s not wise to shop on an empty stomach.

Wearing Evian Aphrodite pale skin

I’ve been sitting here for hours and still no sign of him.

In the meantime…

Wearing !BeUp! Outfit #3 from SL Fashion Week and Evian Skin Eros

The handsome man wonders where is she? She said she would meet me right here. I suppose I’ll look around, but night is falling. Wait…

“Laylah? Is that you?”

Yes…a long super long post, but the moral of the story…find your boyfriend before you window shop. Ok, that’s not really a moral. I wanted to just show Egoisme’s gorgeous new mainstore 😀

According to their press release:

“The new Egoisme store is a new concept; not just a place where you can buy fashion and skins but a piece of RL art in SL.”

You can visit the place, learn about it and discover a new world. In Milan this Gallery is called also Milan’s drawing room, or “salotto di Milano” because it is elegant, you can shop and sit in the famous art nouveau style cafe.

“Art and fashion in the same place, which is an experience we made years ago and now we bring to next level, using the mesh technology, and new creations in theme. Egoisme will now launch many new pieces with some special offers to celebrate the new store.”

“Plus our goal is to produce an Art Expo and we will launch new projects and transform the Egoisme main store into a real place where customers are protagonists and where people can finally discover real life architecture and art in a virtual setting.”

It’s a beautiful place to take location shots! Take the teleport to Egoisme and see it for yourself.

Surprise! It’s a party for you! Well, it’s not your birthday yet right? So maybe, it can be a party for Mother’s Day. Hope all you mothers and grandmothers have a very happy Mother’s Day tomorrow!

By the way, this week’s Acid Lily Gallery selection will be gone after the weekend, so if you haven’t gone to Acid Lily this week, now is the time. Acid Lily will be moving to a brand new store next week, so stay tuned for the slurl. Until then, happy shopping!

15 shades of boho chic

Posted on May 8, 2013 by laylahlecker

PurpleMoon’s Meadow Maxi dress is stylish, boho chic, and versatile all rolled into one. If you love to wear a certain silhouette, but you yearn for color or pattern changes, Meadow Maxi allows you to do that with just one click.

All you do is wear the hud (and the dress at the same time of course!), and click on the pattern you want to wear that day. Boom! It’s an instant outfit change.

It’s very cool. I love it when outfits come with a hud such as this because it doesn’t take up as much space in our inventories. Yay for SL technology!

Don’t forget that you must buy the initial dress in order for this to work. While the hud I’m showing has all the patterns available, you can also choose specific huds if you only fancied the striped, floral, or circle print. Click here for your lift to PurpleMoon and happy shopping!

I have to confess…I love movie musicals! I rented Rock of Ages a couple of weeks ago, and I still have 80’s rock music in my head. By the way, Candy Metal has just the dress if you happen to love heavy metal. Heavy Metal Girl is available in four styles, and you can find them this week at Acid Lily Gallery for a promo price.
