The Madison dress from Spork is a must-have dress for any girl’s closet. The dress, which has a flash of stomach exposed, has great floral detailing on the bodice and both long and micro-mini skirt options for maximum flexibility of wear. The amazing color of the dress reminds me of the clear blue skies of summer, while the one-shouldered strap design makes me feel ultra sxy. The overall design brings me to the exotic beauty of Bollywood films, transporting me to a place that is mystifyingly breathtaking. I’ve paired this dress with the Heidi hair from Lemon Pop shown in chocolate, and the Lovespell Perdy skin from Cupcakes shown in Kumera.

Pose from Amacci

The Love Lace Bianca corset I was wearing over the Alphamale shirt in my earlier post also makes for SXY lingerie! Here it is shown with the chemise that comes with it and the panties from the Brandy set from Reasonable Desires (shown below).

Brandy is available at Reasonable Desires for only L$20 and as if that wasn’t enough of a reason to run right down and pick it up now - it is tintable! The set includes the bra, panties, panties with garters, and stockings and directions on how to tint in case you’ve never tried tinting anything in SL before. That means for only L$20 you can have an unlimited number of colors. Match any outfit you have! In the top photo I tinted the panties grey to match the Love Lave corset. On the left in the photo above I’ve tinted the set a deep sapphire blue and on the right a deep crimson red. This is a great deal if I’ve ever seen one!

 The set above is from a new-to-me store called *Rattenscharf*. This set is called Seductive Beauty and it’s shown above in black with the baby doll attachment. The set sales for a mere L$165 but I received a L$100 gift card from one of my groups (Vain probably but I’m not positive). The gift card is what prompted me to visit the store in the first place and I ended up getting the entire outfit for only L$65!

The customer service for this place is also superb! After my purchase, the owner/designer sent me an IM to thank me and offered me an invite to her update group and let me know that she gives everyone a L$100 gift card as a welcome gift. I thanked her and then politely declined because all of my group spots are full and the dear sweet lady gave me another gift card anyway! I’ll definitely be back to visit again! 

The hair I am wearing in the photo above is Portia in Kohl from Philotic Energy. This particular style and color were part of a gift box sent out to fashion bloggers during last week’s Blogger Appreciation Week that the Amazing Callie Cline organized. I hadn’t been to PR in quite a while and I am used to seeing much edgier things from them so I will have to visit them again soon. I hear this weekend is a great time because they are having a 25-50% off sale this weekend! 
 

And finally, a last minute addition!

When Samsara Nishi of Sam’s Secret posted photos of her new lingerie set on Flickr earlier this week, I made a note to go check it out. When she sent out a group notice this afternoon that she had reduced the price of one color by 50% for the weekend (making it only L$50), I knew I shouldn’t put it off any longer! Of course, Sam is so fast she dropped me a copy before I could hit the TP button!

The shoes I am wearing above are Pixel Mode’s Lush stilletos in Liquid (which looks a lot like black to me!). Pixel Mode has everything in their store on sale for L$50 this weekend. EVERYTHING! It might take a couple of times to TP in. The sim has been full several times throughout this evening but persistence will pay off in the form of some great deals on shoes and clothing!

And last but certainly not least, Cupcakes is having one of their amazing L$25 sales so be sure to check that out this weekend too! (Sorry, I ran out of time so no photo but I own most of the store if you want any opinion on something :-) 

So it’s 11:39 pm in my timezone so I’ve still made this post on Friday by the skin of my teeth! Hope everyone has a great weekend full of shopping!

Although I have no problem dropping several thousands of linden in a single shopping trip (when Jack lets me) - there’s something exciting about great free items or great deals as well! Who doesn’t enjoy gifts and the after-Christmas sales? Today, here’s a few great finds straight from my closet to yours!

First, the skirt in the photos above was available in the lucky chair at M’z Studio. I am not sure if it is still there to be honest but it is only L$88 to purchase and the possibilities with this skirt are truly endless! It is also available in red, green, brown, dark brown, and of course the black you see above. There is also a fat pack available for only L$365.

On the left, I’ve paired the skirt with the top available in one of the freebies found here. The name of the shop is Bijou but it’s not the Bijou that you are probably most familiar with. The designer behind this store is Moirana Rhiadra, a german or dutch designer I believe. As you can see from this top, there are some cute things here though very different from Bijou by Kotobuki Jewell.

The shirt I am wearing under the Bijou top and under the Love Lace corset in this photo is Alphamale Femme’s classic shirt in Silver. It’s not a freebie but for only L$385 for a 3-pack of shirts and the great versatility of them - I definitely think it falls into the great deals category.

The shirt on the left in the second picture is one I just fell in LOVE with from BLAND.  I picked it up when I went to the preview of the Corrupted Innocence SIM. Corrupted Innocence is a hot, new shapes store by well-known shape designer Kira Paderborn and Alexxis Laszlo. It’s also the home to many great designers and creators including Kakaue Kreation, Jimmy Chau Shoes, Tuli Skins, FAD, Pazazz Hair, Piece of Candy, Bland, KPI Fashion, Intrigue Pose, and ElDee. The sim is a really nice one for shopping. It has a very crisp and clean decor and a very nice map right at the landing point which I really appreciate on a personal level. 

The belt I am wearing in these photos is from another outfit I have - City Nights by Ashoka Eales of Phoenix Rising. I am always very happy when pieces of one outfit work well in other pairings! This particular belt was a little large on me and it is no copy. I am infamous for messing up prim things when I try to edit them (just ask the numerous designers I have IMed and asked for replacement skirts :P) so I decided that I would finally try out the re-size script that is available free from Scripts R’ Us. It worked like a charm and was really super easy to install. I will definitely be using this trick much more in the future!

The corset I am wearing on the right is Love Lace <3 Bianca from Pixel Dolls in gray. When I put together this outfit I thought that this corset was one of the many, generous group gifts from Pixel Dolls but upon further investigation - I am not positive about that. Either way, the corset set is only L$140 if you buy it and if you aren’t already a member of the Pixel Dolls update group you should definitely join! Generous is not really sufficient to describe their gifts to the group.

Stay Tuned for Part II of my Friday Finds!
