The Chapter Four - April 2015

This is just a quickie post to show you some bits I nabbed from The Chapter Four. The past few days have been very hectic in RL so I've not had much chance to SL shop!

So here I am, running it, throwing this pic at you and a little bit of mumbling and then running away!

The outfit is from Gizza. It's the Melanie Outfit and I went for the Vintage colour version but there are two others to choose from too. The top and pants are separate so if you buy more than one colour option then you can mix and match.

The Bom hair and the Spring Bunny Lights headband are from the Pr!tty gachas. They are in separate gacha machines so you don't have to worry about ending up with endless headbands trying to get hair and vice versa.

You can get the Mon Cabas bag from the NuDoLu gacha. The commons all have different initials on them and come in different colours. So you can either play to get your initial or play to get the colour you really want.

The wagon and the little puppy are both from Ionic. Their gatcha has pets as commons and the wagon as a rare. I was actually just playing for a pet and lucked out getting the rare wagon on my first play. I'm kinda glad I got it though.

The pose is from the Karyn pose pack by Picture Me Pretty. You can find this pack and others by Picture Me Pretty at Pose Fair 2015. Don't forget to go visit it!

Happy Shopping!

The Chapter Four Quickie!

Oh you bad, bad boys and girls! Not that type of quickie! I don't think The owners of The Chapter Four would want you running around their event have quickies so please do keep your clothes on until you get home.

I only grabbed a couple of things this round because it wasn't really my style or things I was falling over myself in an attempt to get into my inventory. That doesn't mean however that it won't be packed full of things you'd love so please go take a peek.

I did however grab myself this cute little dress from Gizza.

I went for the floral version of the Louisa Dress because I liked the vintage floral print of the skirt part. The peach colour of the floral is really very pretty and usually floral is pinkish or bluish and I much prefer my floral prints in this colour. There are others available, including a full denim version of the dress too.

The hair is a new release from Mina. It's the Ariana style and of course the Dark Reds is my favourite colour pack. I like the really high pony tail on this and it has some serious volume for those of you that love big hair.

What I really wanted from The Chapter Four was a bash at the Apple Fall gacha. I made a beeline for that thing like a blood hound!

I wanted the Rural Farmhouse more than I've wanted anything in a gacha machine for a long time. I hate The Arcade. I don't think I've ever gotten more than 3 rares from there in all the rounds and all the times I've ever been there. It frustrates me to no end. However after the run of good luck I had on the last Apple Fall gacha at The Chapter Four I was feeling fairly hopeful.

First play.... BAM THERE IT WAS! You'd have laughed if you saw the dance I did. I thought I might be able to replicate my 'one of everything' run like last month but it was not to be. I got the piece I wanted though. It's gorgeous and I'm in love with it. You may catch me on my parcel just stroking it lovingly

Happy Shopping!

The Chapter Four - Feb 2015

Have you been to The Chapter Four yet?

They opened on the 4th with a brand new round of goodies for you to delve into. I grabbed a few things and played some gachas and probably had the luckiest run on a gacha I have ever had in my life! More about that later...

I grabbed two outfits and both happened to be from ionic.

The first is Outfit 2 Sweater & Skirt.

The outfit includes a cute sweater and shirt combo and a short skirt. There's three different colour sets to choose from. You can wear the top and skirt separately so if you get more than one colour then of course of you can mix and match.

The second outfit is the Winter Dress.

You get both the black and lilac colours in the pack so you don't have to decide between the two. It's an adorable dress and it even fit over the top of my Maitreya body using the hud to alpha out where needed. I love things I can wear over my mesh bodies.

The socks in both pictures are the Foxy Socks from Atomic. You get system layers and appliers for your mesh bodies in the pack. The tops of the socks are separate mesh pieces that you can resize to fit your legs perfectly. These were too adorable to pass up.

The glasses are from Fishy Strawberry and are the Feline Glasses.You get both a normal and sunglasses version and a hud that lets you change the colour of different parts of the frame to make yourself a unique pair if you wish. It includes not only colour but different patterns such as animal furs. Super cute!

Also while you're at The Chapter Four throw a few lindens into the Pr!tty gacha to get yourself a Dara hair. I ended up with Brown 3 & 4 which is a bit of a different look for me but I think it's cute. You can keep playing until you hit the colour you want, trade some, give some to your friends or just wear whatever pops out first!

Talking of gachas I mentioned my luckiest gacha streak ever and that was when I found my way over to the Apple Fall gacha.

When it comes to furniture gachas I tend to play a few times and as soon as I hit a double I'll give up. It's how I stop myself plowing thousands into the machines. I'll give away my double to a friend and then use whatever it was I managed to grab. However when I put my lindens into the Apple Fall gacha I managed to land every item in it, one after the other, without a single double. Not going to lie there was a lot of over excited chair dancing. I've never managed that ever and I don't think I ever will again.

However even if you only play a couple of times you're going to get some really pretty furniture to rez at your house so throw a few lindens in the Apple Fall gacha direction.

The cute little tray with goodies on it is a collaboration from Dust Bunny and Windsong. It's only 85L and has gorgeous looking food and a card. It might be a touch late for Valentine's Day but who says you can't send someone a card that says you love them more than peanut butter all year round? I'd love that.

Sunny Days

There's so many great new releases for summer that it's hard to keep track. I've visited several events and stores and nabbed some gorgeous things...

So this post is all about those summer days, having fun with friends and flashing some skin in some great swimwear!

I had a run around The Chapter Four and grabbed a great dress from Fishy Strawberry

It's a cute, short denim dress with and adorable lace trim. I had something almost identical as a child and couldn't resist getting this one.

While I was at The Chapter Four I also won these the cute sandals you see hiding back there in the NuDoLu gatcha. I nabbed the Sakura colour but there are lots of cute colours available and you will need the SLink flat feet for these.

The camera is also available at The Chapter four. It's from Tentacio and is the My Polaroid in Grey. An adorable accessory for summer as I'm sure you'll want to take lots of pictures.

The delicious looking neon pink ice lolly that is definitely going to turn my mouth bright pink is from Offbeat. Lots of delicious looking treats in that gatcha so give it a try!

I was lucky enough to land the rare boat from the Eureka set in the Ionic gatcha. It comes with several different animations in it. The one in the picture isn't one of them. That pose is from the Into The Afterglow pose set from Le Poppycock.

I hadn't quite finished running around The Chapter Four and I realised I had an adorable Together pose from An Lar Poses that had been released for Fit For A Princess.

It gave me chance to pose with the ever lovely Amadeo Dubratt and to show off the awesome Open Front Cardigan I got from the Coco gatcha at The Chapter Four. I ended up with the Beige Grey but there are lots of colours and it fits nicely over other Coco products and even some other random mesh shirts. Experiment!

I was also drawn to the Amala gatcha where I landed myself a pair of Jellies sandals in a very pretty Sunset colour. You'll need the SLink flat feet for these ones too!

Last month was pride month and there were lots of rainbow goodies on offer. However for the ultimate rainbow bikini I stumbled across this fantastic one from Mooh.

It comes with the matching bracelet. How much more rainbow could you possibly need? Oh I know, how about some pink hair? The hair is the Bree style from Tameless. It comes in many other colours too if pink is not your thing.

The dock is a great release from Alouette. The Wooden Floating Dock seats four people and comes with a bunch of poses that are on and off the dock (just in case you fancied a dip in the water).

I put out a call for sexy ladies in bikinis and managed to snag myself three stunners to come and help me snap a summery dock picture. So a big thanks to Magenta DeVinna, Luna Jubilee and Cat Horatio. (click the links to check out their awesome blogs.... or on second thoughts don't because they are better than mine! lol)

Last but not least is a creepy bikini and a classic swimsuit from Fashion Zombie.

This is the creepiest bikini I've ever found and I'm not sure how I feel about having eyes on my boobs and teeth that close to my lady garden but I'm sure I could freak out a few people in this one.

The swimsuit is much more classic and less creepy.

This is a mono version of the American flag. Okay so I'm not American, but it's still a great looking swimsuit no matter which country you are from.

The hair is a previously blogged hair from Exile and is available at Summerfest which is closing like... NOW! So go run and grab.

The adorable rainbow nails you can nab from Ama and better yet, they are a freebie! They were originally out for Pride Month but there's nothing stopping you showing your pride all year around by rocking these awesome rainbow nails!

Wow... that was a lot of shopping and blogging. I need a tea after that one!

Happy Shopping!

The Chapter Four - May 2014

The Chapter Four is celebrating their 1st Birthday!

Congratulations! I hope there are many more birthdays to come.

Lots of the designers have placed adorable little birthday gifts out for all those people in The Chapter Four group. You can join for free too.

So onto the goodies.

Since I discovered Deadwool in a round of Collabor88 a few months back I've become a bit of a fan and their cute little cut off t-shirts at the new round of The Chapter Four made me an even bigger fan.

That little single heart coloured in is just precious. I love this shirt it's going to be a summer favourite of mine and a bargain at only 99L

The hair is a release from Mina Hair and is also only 99L. Loving the big, chunky braids.

If you're wondering about the little critter at my feet... that's Jeff.

I name everything Jeff (Cat I can hear you laughing) and with his grumpy little face he so looks like a Jeff. He's a little gatcha win from the Alchemy/Birdy gatcha and this one is the Stripe Boy, but if you're lucky you'll get the rare and get grumpy cat. Personally I prefer Jeff and he also follows you around, walks and moves. He's a clingy Jeff!

The shoes are a gift from ANE for the birthday celebrations. You will need the SLink flat feet for these and you can find them in one of the many little birthday gift boxes on the vendor stands.

Ingenue have also released a great 99L shirt for the event.

It's got a lovely little polka dot collar and I went for the teal because it matched perfectly with the teal skirt I got from them during a recent 50L Friday. The shoes were a gatcha win from Ingenue at The Arcade so this is a great low budget outfit. If you missed any of these bits then the skirt and shoes are still available at Ingenue (although the skirt will be full price now and the shoes are still a gatcha prize).

The ring is a birthday gift from Atomic. Thanks Atomic! It's a super cute cupcake but don't eat it. Don't feed it to Jeff either.

Last up I thought I'd throw together an outfit with some of the other gifts available. So even if you are short on cash (I often am!) then you can still grab yourself a new outfit for the weekend.

The dress is from Ionic and comes in two different colours. I paired it up with the bag from Le Petits Details and the shoes from Mango Cheeks, which require SLink flat feet. All of these things are generous gifts from the creators. Thanks everyone!

The furniture is all from Serenity Style with the exception of the diamond wall art which is a The Chapter Four Gift from Hideki.

The credits below include where you can find all these bits.

Happy Shopping!
