Riddle
I just love Riddle..everything is just so snazzy! To be more specific, it’s sexy sweetness to a “T”. This orange Hawaiian print bikini I found irresistible..everything from the colour to the flawless execution of the design and it’s just darned cute! It even comes with flip-flops! Lots of different layering options and two different bikini bottoms are included; one string and one boy shorts style. The adorably fun, ringlet hair with bows that I’m wearing with the bikini comes from Hair By Cher and it’s called Temptation.
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.
Zibware: Hanalei
I instantly fell in love with this adorable string bikini set called Hanalei by Zibware! I love the cut of the enlarged keyhole bikini top and the pink colour is scrumptious. This set adds some real pizzazz to the ol’ “teeny weenie itsy bitsy” bikini we’re used to seeing. The texturing on this item is nearly flawless. Little or no signs of the little “holes” on the sides of the bra cups which is VERY difficult to achieve.
I’ve chosen hair by Kin called Mairi for the pic!
Take Refuge
Check out this hot zebra print bikini number from Refuge. It’s fabulously textured and the detailing is great with the little prim tie for the boy shorts waistband. There are lots of options for the bottoms including the boy shorts in solid and animal print as well as the standard bikini bottom. Animal prints never seem to go out style and they have never been hotter than this summer. So if you haven’t gotten your “animal” on yet this year you’d better hop to it.
I chose a hairstyle by Hair by Cher Boutique called “Crystal”. It’s a sweet layered bob and comes in tons of colours to choose from.
IBizarre bikini beauty
Check out this yummy bikini set called Breezy by Ibizarre - World of Fashion in a colour called Sojabean. The texturing of the bikini and halter top is soooo beautifully rich you kind of wish you could eat it! It has a really cute bow clasp embellishing the breastline. I couldn’t decide which to wear for the picture, either the bikini bottoms or the beautiful sarong, so I opted for both.
I chose a hairstyle by Cheresse Damone of Hair by Cher Boutique called Angel to wear with this adorable set. A big thank you from me to Cher, one of the hardest working, talented hair creators out there!
Adam n Eve
First, I’d just like to say how excited I am to join the Sexy Second blogging team. I’m absolutely thrilled to be included in this wonderful group of amazingly talented and gorgeous ladies.
For my first post, Sachi Vixen sent me over some of her new goodies to check out. The Furry Wild Girl Set has to be one of the cutest little swimsuit sets I’ve seen in awhile. I love the wild animal print. It comes in so many different patterns, you’ll have a hard time choosing just one. I know I certainly did. I couldn’t decide between Black Wolf and Tiger Natural, so I went with both! Adam n Eve has always been one of my favorite stores because their textures and designs are fabulous. The bikini comes with a matching sarong skirt with 2 different prim attachments. I love this option because it allows us to choose the skirt option that we feel more comfortable with. A great benefit!
If you’re looking for a swimsuit that screams “I’m fierce!”, then the Furry Wild Girl set is the suit for you!
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!
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!
Radioactive Blaze
Recently, I was looking through my inventory to find a saucy number for a Sexy in Black event. I found a dress by Blaze that I had gotten some time ago, back in 2006, called Radioactive made by Blaze. This dress had always been a sure fire hit and a major attention-getter so I slipped it on automatically my honey said ‘Wowee’! You know you’ve hit gold when you get that kind of reaction. What I love about this dress is that it is also a swimsuit underneath! Fantastic for all those beach parties sure to come! I wondered if this gorgeous dress was still available at Blaze so I headed down and sure enough it’s still there. So, for 500L you can knock ‘em dead and it’s available in a myriad of wonderful colours. Blaze Columbia is one of the most venerable designers in SL and the quality is superb even still. I think while I’m here, I’d better pick up my spring wardrobe../me rummages though her purse. By the way, in the picture, I’ve paired the dress with hair by Damselfly called Spoiled. Wonderful styles to suit every taste.
Miss Scarlet
A lot of us are still in the throes of winter so I thought I would cast my thoughts to those sultry summers that, luckily, we can enjoy in Second Life all year around! With that in mind, I have this sweet little swimsuit that I wanted to show you. It’s called the Scarlet Printed bikini ~ I’ve chosen this red geometric pattern but it comes in three other really bold floral and retro prints. The best part is that they are only 50 lindens each! If there’s a birthday coming up for that someone special to you, there’s even a ‘buy as a gift’ option. I love this swimsuit because of its distinctive shape and bares a lot of skin without being too showy. So, get ready to burn up those beaches in this hot little number. You can get them at Stella’s Mall on Stella Isle.
