Look of the day: Secret Citron

September appears to be the time for some great hunts!! Starting September 1st is the Top Shelf Style Hunt presented by one of my favorite shops - PixelSnobs!  I was priviledged enough to be invited as a preview blogger and I'm psyched to show you some awesome gifts that will be available!! In fact, the hunt is so filled with amazingness, that I'm not going to be able to pack it in one post, so expect a little sharing of this hunt here and there.

The first batch I wanted to show is a dress from a sample box (more than one awesome outfit!!) from [dirty.little.secret]. This mesh citron blouson dress comes with matching shoes and looks absolutely gorgeous on. The blogger pack I received also has 3 other outfits in it!! As always,  [dirty.little.secret] is an amazingly generous as well as talented designer!

The necklace is a unisex gift from NUTS Inc, and the picture doesn't do it justice, its gorgeous. It features a cross, wings, male and female symbol and beading. Its really amazingly detailed.

The house I'm in for these photos is my new favorite house from In-Verse. It is a new release and right now you can get it on the marketplace for 99L$ - but only for probably about another 12 hours, so HURRY UP! It fits a 1024 parcel and is just tooooooooo gawjus to pass up!

Costume Nirvana for Petites at Bare Rose

If you're like me and in constant need of really nice and sometimes out of the ordinary costumes, and you're a Petite, you need to make a trip to Bare Rose ... the place is costume Nirvana! When I need a costume for an event at the club I host and DJ (Club Amaranth for those interested, it's very petite friendly)I start there. If I can't find what I need there, I'll pretty much not find it at all. Here's a peek at some of the many many costumes I've gotten just in the last month.

CTM Fairly ... I haven't found an event to wear it for, but I couldn't resist it. Comes with five color options all in one package.

Dryad is perfect for plant related themes, or for elven/fae events. Comes with everything you need but the hair, and has 3 flower color options.

Detonator is perfect for an armor themed event or even a weapons themed event as you'd be wearing several bombs. Comes with everything but the hair and has the pink option shown plus a white/silver option as well.

Shiogiri is perfect for an Asian/Japanese themed event, and is one of many different Asian themed costumes available in the shop. This one comes with everything shown including the hair and shoes.

Circus theme? Then go with Miss Petite Quin (There's also a male version if this costume). There are three color options included, with everything but the hair provided.

For those Renascence or even Medieval themes there's Juliet. This has three color options and includes a headress that's not shown in my picture. All you need to add is hair and shoes.
Right now until September 1st there is a hunt celebrating the shop's seventh anniversary. You follow a story to collect 5 objects. Each object contains the parts for a full outfit for males and females both Big and Petite. It's a really quick hunt and well worth the time you spend. Here's a peek:

The full female Petite hunt outfit without the ride-able horse

And the full outfit again with the horse. The package with the horse includes an ao for riding it.

The rest of the stuff:
With CTM Fairly: Shoes - Baby Monkey Fairy Flats; Hair - Wasabi Pills, Orion
Juliet: Shoes - Baby Monkey Fairy Flats; Hair: Alli&Ali Designs Soyraya (Hair Fair Gift)
All others: Hair - Little Chickies Piper

So many ways to love!

*stretches* Morning posts always have me stretching - but that's okay because it gives a good shot at some of the fabulousness now available on the grid! *adds "fabulousness" to her spell checker and continues*

Amour has released a new "sack" type dress - but this is one designer that does it right - it looks amazing on and comes in various sizes and colours. Each colourpack holds a colour and the basic black dress. It looks so cute and summery on, with a splash of class that I like. Great job!

Last week the creator of Blueberry store sent out some awesome gifts to her group - two pairs of mesh boots and a pair of mesh pants! Check out a set of the boots!!! *Squee!*

(love) has a cute set of group gifts and cheapies in the "Salon" section of their mainstore - The hair I'm wearing is L$1 and is one of the two fatpack styles available in the bag!

If anyone knows me, they know I love pandas - they're just... kyoooooot! Snagged this panda necklace at Izzie's in New York the other day, but you can find it in the Izzie's Mainstore too!

Last, but certainly not least, I want to mention the eyes - because they're FREE as a group gift, and look how gorgeous they are!! They're a fatpack, so lots of colours in there from [Dirty.Little.Secret] AND if you join the group and stay in, not only will you nab another swank gift when the group reaches 700, but you will also avoid the group fee that's going to pop up when the group gets to 701. Go. Now. Join. (And bask in the awesomness, because I've said before that [Dirty.Little.Secret] gives out awesome gifts, hunts, feelin' good freebies and... seriously, why are you still reading? GO JOIN).

Cart Sale and IS DESIGN!

The amazing bi-annual Cart Sale is on at The Wash right now and every year I think I go a little nuts... like Christmas on a sugar high or something! My wallet takes a kicking, but I can't really pass up the super awesome deals that are provided by the fabulous designers whom participate in the Cart Sale every 6 months.

That said, it took me a LONG time to come up with an outfit to show - there's just so much good stuff! (In fact, expect to see something else from me in the future about this event, because its just so awesome).

In between sorting my inventory after my cart sale insanity, I've been checking blogs (of course!) and I ran across this post at SL Wonderland (which I frequent often) and laughed so hard at the bacon breakfast bag that I had to go nab it. When I did, I discovered "IS DESIGN" - a store that is just plain awesome! Its silly, its fun, its sexy and you should go down there and see what's there!

Oodles of Contraptions!

I was checking my flickr feed as I'm prone to do, and I saw an interesting image from Torley - But this was showing a rather unique group gift from [Contraption]. Being the curious sort, I whooshed on down there to check it out! Its a creepy and super detailed steampunk gasmask and the group joiner is right above the prize and very visible when you land.

After I nabbed the group gift, I poked around and found a room full of lucky boards, free goodies and gatcha machines! I stalked them for a good while and got some great items! There are LOADS more interesting stuff in this store, and a lot of neat masks and spectacles.

One thing that caught my eye besides the heavily detailed masks and goggles, was the cute little dress - of course, the one I saw was the blood soaked one in the lucky board, but there are lots of other non-homocidal ones on the bottom floor, and a great outfit for guys too!

So if you're into steampunk, looking for something different or just looking to frighten the bejesus out of people or have them ask you "What's with that thing??" - Head on down to [Contraption] and boggle your mind! ~ (More images in my Flickr Feed!!)
