B@R- Bare Rose Has You Covered
One of the things that occasionally chaps my pixelated bottom in Second Life fashion is that sometimes bloggers forget that most of us are on serious budgets, so I’ll be reading along about some lovely flouncy mini-skirt for only [insert princely sum here] and have a cow, or a seizure, or both. Bare Rose, aka B@R, is the antidote to my blog induced cow seizure.
Look at the rocking dress above, for example. It’s called Golden Moon and for just L$140 it comes in SIX COLORS! That’s not L$140 for each color, that’s L$140 gets you all six. The colors are blue, gold (shown below), green (shown), red (shown), pink, and purple. The neck piece is prim, and simulates wooden buttons, and some braided leather knee and elbow wraps come with it too.
Now, as truth in advertising, I had to work a bit to get the skirt, which is a prim skirt, to fit right, and to make matters worse, the prim skirt is no copy, so if you mess it up, you have to fix it. The way I figure it, with six colors for just L$140, you’re bound to get it right with one of the colors. The avie I’m wearing in the picture is a little slim in the hips, which contributed to the problem, wider avies should be able to wear this with less editing required. And you will definitely turn heads in this.
Those of you interested in such things, enjoy this: The skins and hair in the pictures so far are all freebies or dollarbies. In the pictures above the skin is by B@R and is in their freebie section. The skin to the left is the Cornsilk Skin by SYD. The hair above is a freebie by Gurl 6 called Sugary, and the hair in the left is a freebie by Moonshine called Lizbet.
Now, those of you who know me know that a little skirt adjustment is not going to keep me from my appointed fashion rounds, I just thought I’d lead with the one dress of several that designer June Dion and manager Tori Heart sent over that I actually had problems with, because the rest are smooth sailing and fricking gorgeous.
To the left you see Moonlight from Bare Rose, and again, what a great deal. Five colors for just L$130! The prim skirt blends well with the fabric of the “pants” and the shirt, and the highlighting, texturing and design are all June Dion’s normal excellent work. And let me say it again, you get FIVE of these for only L$130!
Moonlight comes in Black (shown above), Cian (shown below), Green (shown below), Dark Blue and Pink-Purple. In keeping with my OMG look how good you can look for so little, the other things I’m wearing in these pictures are also freebies. The skin and hair in the picture above are the same as for the single picture of Golden Moon. The hair in the picture below on the left is from Uncleweb Studio and the hair on the right is from SYD.
The skin in both of those pictures is a mod of the Eloh Eliot skins I did. I try to be true to the spirit of St. Eloh by distributing them for free to anyone who asks. If you ever want some of my Eloh mods, just say so, and I’ll send them right over to you. (Sometimes my IMs cap, so if you don’t hear from me, say hello again or send a notecard!) Currently I have just two mods, both in the tan range you see here.
Finally, of the gorgeous stuff that June and Tori sent over (and I will be blogging more from them in the near future, trust me!) I found the swimsuit you see here, called Swallow. Swallow is a great one piece swimsuit with some gorgeous prim attachments that can make it so much more.
Swallow comes in four colors for just L$135. Along with the one piece swimsuit, which comes on both pants and undies layers, you get a prim wrap and a prim bow, and a matching bangle, flip flops and even a necklace! OMG, four colors, shoes, bangle, necklace for L$135!
So, readers, that’s what I found for you this week, and just because Bare Rose has so much stuff it can be overwhelming, as of the time I’m writing this, all three of these outfits are on display at the landing area at B@R’s HQ so you don’t have to go hunting.
This is my first post for Sexysecond.com, and I’m very happy to be blogging here. I hope to bring you clothes, avies, skins, hair, hats and accessories that make our readers feel sexy and won’t break the bank. If you have any feedback or comments on my blogging I would love to hear them either here on the blog or in-world.
Ilona by Fashionity Fantasy
Cuteness alert from Saku Koltai of Fashionity Fantasy! This casual mini outfit is so sweet I could eat it with a spoon. It’s called “Ilona” and is comprised of a seriously sexy belted, washed denim, miniskirt with an adorable flounce at the hem, a plaid tank and embellished shrug jacket with lacy prim sleeves. Perfect outfit for your favourite hangout or that shopping trip 
With the outfit, I chose Hair by Cher called “Bella” in blonde and black. You can find this style and TONS more at the Hair by Cher Boutique on Hillcrest Estates sim or at Stella’s Mall on Stella Isle.
Hair with SPIRIT
SavannahAnn McMillan of SPIRIT is introducing flexi hair called Pro Cheer Flexi! To which I say “rah rah, sis boom ba”! Ok, Ok, I’ve never been a cheerleader clearly but at least I can try and look like one!
Featured in the photo are three different styles called “Jennifer”, “Hallie” & “Anne”. I do have a penchant for ponytails and I really liked these three and trying them on with the different bang options (straight across or swept to the right or left) was really fun. They are very reasonably priced at 350L for a 4-pack. Demos are available in the store so remember to grab your pom poms and saddle shoes and check ‘em out.
String Bikini cuteness @ Fashionity Fantasy
Can I say I just love it when Saku Koltai of Fashionity Fantasy sends me new stuff? Well I do, it makes me all warm and happy inside Recently, she sent me this ADORABLE string bikini called “Mallory“. She’s done a great job with the sweet geometric pattern texture. The photo features the blue and pink versions. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
Have some Cachet
I have a pantsuit that I really like called “Tilda” from Cachet, so I thought I’d check out the shop for some more gems. There, I found this faboo black jacket called “Roisin”. It’s a really dramatic puffy jacket with bikini bra top for underneath. This thing screams “check me out!” So, of course, I love it. I paired it with satin trousers from Chic Boutique, part of the black satin suit outfit.
Hair is by Dernier Cri called “Kate” in golden blonde #3. Asuka Martin of Dernier Cri is a hugely talented hair designer, on par with ETD quality in my opinion. I’ve been putting off blogging it because I wanted to have fabulous hair that not *everyone* was wearing, but after a recent fashion show featuring it and some “best in the biz” bloggers covering it, the secret’s WAAYY out there. So, here we go and I can’t wait for more styles.
Fashion Forward
I went on one of my random fashion find hunts this morning and came across a shop I’d not heard of called Fashion Forward Designs filled with things from a designer named Jenna Etzel. I took a peek and was quite pleased with what I saw. I saw a bunch of outfits and dresses that were really “me”, so I picked up a few. The one featured in the picture is a cute black shorts and halter set called “Most Wanted”. I really like the texture treatment of the top and the embellished textured belt of the shorts. The shop has a little bit of everything from dresses, casual outfits, business wear, swim wear, and men’s clothes too! It’s worth a peek!
*RunoRuno*
My friend and mall manager extraordinaire Auburn Heron was kind enough to point me in the direction of a new and very talented designer named Jojorunoo Runo of “RunoRuno” after I admired a skirt she was wearing. So, Aubi kindly gave me an LM to her shop on the Moonlight Requiem sim to check it out. The items in the shop are sparse with only a few items, but I found what I wanted; an adorable little black flexi knit skirt and sweater. Believe it or not, at the moment, Jojorunoo had these two items up for sale 0 lindens! Yep, that’s what I said. I had my hubby IM Jojorunoo to ask if there was some mistake! She said there was no mistake, so I would recommend you rush to this store and pick them up while you can! I would EASILY pay a couple hundred for this outfit as it’s so beautifully made and textured.
With the outfit, I paired it with “MIRA Sunglasses” from Solar Designer Eyewear. These are a fave pair of glasses of mine. They include a wonderful scripted feature where you can adjust the fit simply by clicking some buttons. They also have tintable frames in different colours and frame styles.
The shoes are Basevi Moda Sexy Shoes Slingback Stilettos in “Dalmation”. You can pick these puppies up at at Basevi Moda Mainstore in Templegreen. Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun there.
Elemiah Design Black and White bikini
How cute is this black and white bikini by Elemiah Design? I just love it so I suited up my amiable assistant Mhairi Hastings to pose for a couple of pictures. The belted slightly opaque sarong makes this thong bikini so distinctive. The suit is just skimpy enough to get you a a few “hubba hubba’s” on the beach, but not so skimpy that you’ll be getting business offers, if you know what I mean *wink*. Elemiah Choche of Elemiah Design clearly pays attention to every texturing and design detail. While I was at the shop, I also picked up a couple of outfits which I love equally. There’s a little bit of everything at Elemiah Design…gowns, outfits, lingerie and swimwear and worth every linden in my opinion. So, grab your favourite beach bag and I’ll see you on the beach!
Lingerie by Hollee
I was so fortunate to have Hollee Dion from Lingerie by Hollee contact me and show me some gorgeous new lingerie sets. The Blossom and Summer collections are two divine sets of sexy lingerie. The Blossom line even has an adorable garter belt option with a dollar bill in it *wink*. All of them are beautifully made with exquisite attention to detail and Hollee’s texturing acumen is obvious! Each set is available in nine colors and have tattoo friendly layer options. I really enjoyed photographing these sets and I wish I could show you all of them! Thanks Hollee and I’ll be back to take a closer look at those corsets I saw! Shoes are by Basevi Moda Sexy Shoes..you can find them at the Basevi Moda Mainstore.
Pixeldolls Antihero
I’ve always loved Pixeldolls, even from my earliest days in-world. Every time I go, I always see something I love. At my most recent trip, I uncovered a very swanky and cool body suit called (antihero) Prototype bodysuit. For all you “layers” lovers, this is the suit for you. This has tons of options and looks as each top and pant layer comes in jacket/shirt/undershirt options in a long sleeved jacket or halter style. The trousers also range from shorts to full length. Mixing and matching with this outfit is seemingly unlimited! I adore the back of the top - lots of intricate lacing on the pants and on the back of the jacket. Check it out and more at Pixeldolls Main Shop in Port Seraphine.
