Lazy Kitty Shopping Bag

2007-09-26T15:54:00.000-07:00

Today was my "mini day off" meaning I took about 4 hrs off to just sit back and play the new guilty gear until my paws got tired and well I felt like working again, unfortunally SL is going through some serious mean lag so that was put on hold and what better time to go through my ol kitty bag then the present.

A few days ago I received a lil review pack from Laynie Link and unfortunally was buried in sequins and lace at the time so hadn't had a chance to peek inside the box till now.

Laynie has a wonderful collection of very cute seperates,dress sets, accessories,socks,etc.
And you can find her designs on both slex,onrez ,in world, and you can keep track of her through her blog Laynie Wear. Love ppl who have blogs think this is such a big must to have when your designing.

I always shuffle over to the designers store before I do the review to have a look around and to see the range of clothing the designer has.And while heading back out to go home to look in the box I saw this.. ^_^ *thumbs up Laynie*

So lets take a peek shall we?
Laynie gave me a lot of pieces to go through but I'm going to post my three favorites and let you shuffle over to her store to see the rest, which I encourage you do.

First up :LaynieWear Bree
* $250L
* copy, mod, no transfer
* comes in seven colors (blue, green, lemon,mango, ocean, pink, purple)
* set includes 16 individual pieces

Bree is something you would proably catch me wearing in rl while this kitty ran around and did her errands or chittered with friends at a casual lunch.

You have 6 different style opitions with bree..from short and flirty, to longer & casual ,with or without pants & even a swimsuit!Bree is very sweet and flirty and perfect for those relaxing days out with the girls .It's one of the staples you need to have in your closet for the weekend.

LaynieWear Hibiscus Dreams
* $200L
* copy, mod, no transfer
* Skirt comes in seven colors (aqua, dusty rose, ash brown, blue, chocolate, emerald, russet)
* Top comes in three coordinating colors (pink, blue, brown)
* set includes lots of pieces

Now Hibiscus may not be for everyone, there's not a lot of skin showing here, and its a very quiet muted design, but I really enjoyed this set because for one I think its very femine and soft. You really don't find a lot of pieces like this in SL For lack of better words this is the outfit you slip into when your preparing for a very relaxing walk on the beach or in the park.. It doesnt scream LOOK AT ME! Instead it quietly whispers..walk with me.. hold my hand..lets just take time for us..

LaynieWear Teagan Bamboo
* $100L
* Comes in 4 colors (cream, honey, jade, russet)
* contains top on jacket and shirt layer

And last but deft not least, Teagan.This is my favorite piece from Laynie..I love this top and vest! The vest design and embroidary is very sweet the colors are soft and again very romantic and femine. You really have quite a range with this top, you can dress it up with a flirty skirt or like me just throw on those old faded jeans. I'm actually still running around in this right now and intend to wear it quite a bit.

So all in all Laynie Link gets 2 happy paws up, Laynie's prices are more then reasonable & the care and time she takes in her designs can be seen in the small details of her clothing.I say shuffle over and have a look for yourself you are bound to come home with a few bags full.I think I'm going to head back now and get some of those kitty socks it's starting to get chilly again here..Till next time!

your lazy kitty..

Sundays Lazy Kitten Shopping Bag

2007-09-16T11:33:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't made a post in a looooooooong time, but this kitten has been so tied up in a sim rebuild, and getting some things done for Toys for Tots..however, a morning headache, and some maniac pets keeping me up all night has left me kinda drained.. so kitty came to do some blog clean up and chitter about the new Cassi Drive.
Course if you've visited the Cassiopeia Isle Drive you know that me and my sisters are there, along with Mew's partner Meso and the wonderful work he does for Lynx.

Lynx specializes in Men and Women's jewelry, all prim based.You won't ever find flat textures in any of the wonderful pieces of Lynx. And Mesostopheles Gascoigne does to custom pieces if you want to spoil that special loved one, or if you just want something unique for yourself. I have known Mesostopheles for well over a year now, and I am proud to say
have had the pleasure of working with him on joint projects.
His work never ceases to amaze,never taking my work lightly I am very proud to work with this man and would highly recommend him for your jewelry needs.

Now as we shuffle around the corner of Cassi we find Saur Holts Passionate Neko Dreams.

Passionate Neko Dreams specializes in beauitful gothic clothing.A mixture of children and adult clothing can be found inside this three story building. Everything from regular daily clothing, to the lace and petticoat doll dresses can be found in Saurs store. She's been designing for well over a year now and in my opinion just keeps getting better and better with each of her designs.

And this year Saur has expanded with a Halloween shop, where you can find mummys,pumpkins and a Haunted house for those who really like to go all out and decorate..ooo snickers..::snags one::

Now new to our lil Cassi Drive is Kay's Cuddle Creations.
Now anyone who knows me knows I love all the cuddles..and hugs that one can find in SL I love gadgets and trinkets, me and my sweetheart spend about 98% tangled together, even while we're working were in some kind of hug,makes for happy working..it does..besides whats cuter then tangled tails? Well Kays Cuddle Creations adds a very sweet lil twist to curling up with your love one.. and one of these afternoons I'm dragging my honey downstairs to pick out a cup pattern!With a handful of different patterns and colors available I'm sure you'll find something .. now I just need a toast blanket we'll be all set for a breakfast cuddle..

Now as we make our way down the road you will find some gesture and skin shops :) across the beach we have a surf board shop that sells advance surfboards!And we've even placed out some waves to get out there and give it a try , plus if your a lil weary and don't know if surfing is your cup of tea well we've got a rental board for a test drive as well.More then likely youll bump into me or one of my sisters taking a break splashing down there to ^_^(big huggles to Jelly for telling me about surfing..had no clue about this till she pounced me about it yay!)Also in Cassi Drive you'll find Catwalk Couture and SySy Designs.Catwalk Couture store is an outlet, but from what I've seen deft some very cute seperates,will be floating towards her main store possiably next Sunday to take a better peek.

SySy Designs..I've spoken to SySy briefly as we pass one another in Cassi, like myself Cassiopeia is both her store location and her home :) And I must say she is a pleasure to talk to. SySy has a very clean nice set up in her store,easy to shop and move around in,and she has mens clothes guys!

So this is our lil family so far, there are still plenty of store spots available and we'll be having lots of events and things going on soon ^_^ Of course like I said me and my sisters are there to but..flutters hand..I'm not reviewing ourselves thats just silly.lol But we're not going anywhere, so come by come visit everyone walk around, just enjoy the sim :) Theres a hotdog stand to..may catch one of us there having lunch ;)the designers at Cassi Drive are a pleasure to talk to and as always..thank you for your support guys
besos

One of the best stores :)

2007-08-23T10:42:00.001-07:00

To put it simply, I think I finally found one of those stores you hear people talking about. The one’s that no one tells you about but you accidentally run across when doing a random search. Well for me, this time it was because I was going to a friend’s shop and I was turning to find my bearings (SL as always was borked). Then what do I see but this new shop with some very wonderful designs. I saw this lil sweater which was the last thing I would ever look for as it is like really hot outside. (At least for me my SL shopping is based on if it would even be useful in real, for the most part, except for my artillery ducks... but thats another topic.) The sweater though to die for, even if it is really hot.

The name of this little shop of wonder, simply is Paradisis. *Stands up holding up a picture of the sign of the store* Oooo so pretty.

Paradisis : http://slurl.com/secondlife/Iron/79/189/400

You have to see this store to see all the wonderful stuff that has been added. The store carries a wonderful variety from Tech to Neko with wonderful stops in between. They even have some of the most wonderful silks, and I’m not even a huge fan of silks.

The pricing is great as Ankhari has made it possible to buy a wide variety of items from her store without breaking your budget. I was fighting to pull myself out of the store and even then I didn’t escape without buying a few of the items.

(Armor Type A101 Neko Legacy)This armor is everything a sexy neko or human or anything in between or you know not in between. Would possibly want in armor, its tight and shows off the curves wonderfully and even has a tail protector option. Also the cape on the Neko Legacy version is one of my favorite capes I now own.

(Éclair Black W/ Pepita Belt and Heartbreak Socks)How to start complimenting this outfit? Well its simply put perfect, it shows enough skin to keep your significant other looking. Also shows enough skin to find a significant other or just random person :) . Then look at the detail on that belt… even a tiny lil pawprint and the socks, OMG… they are so cute. Even a lil dangly hanging off them. It's just proof of how wonderful Ankhari's designs really are. (sorry if the pic doesnt really show the details, it did before *scratches her head wondering why it messed up*)

-From Left to Right-
(Kittie Me Top w/ Paw Miniskirt)
(Wool Kitten Sweater & Scarf w/ Dirty Torn Pants)
(Black Gold Mini dress)
These 3 outfits, it is hard to find a time you can’t wear these, despite what you might have heard about fashion and style. I have to think hard myself to figure a time that these aren’t simply put wonderful. Some might say oh no Lisa you are out of style, I simply say to those :p. The best styles are the ones that are your own style. If they dont listen to that, just spit on 'em and throw something heavy at them, that generally works at least for me.

So, to wrap this up before I turn this into an essay, get yourself down to Ankhari’s store, Paradisis. You won’t regret shopping here at all. :-)

PV High Quality HandBags!

2007-08-19T14:21:00.001-07:00

PV -HandBags!

Who doesn’t love a good bag? I Know I do, and when I received these bags/purses to review I was pleasantly surprised! Most of the things I Love to do in Second Life include me and shopping! While I have seen purses before, these ones are of the highest detail I have ever seen in all of Second Life. There are four different styles to choose from!

First we have a simple pocket book that comes in 12 different colors/textures, its called Portefeuille 'Oceane' and it can be your shopping buddy for only 200 Lindens. This pocket book snugly fits under your arm so your hands are free to grab those goodies your shopping for! The texture is very clear, there are no blurry fuzzys coming through, which I must say is a nice relief. It shows our lil designer put some effort and time into her hand bags!

The next style, I really liked the detail because it has a strap but also a lil chain that hangs over your arm. This bag is called Pochette 'Milano'. It comes in six different colors/textures and has a lil bling to it. It can be yours for only 300 Lindens. This designer bag is a perfect fit, when I wore It, I didn’t have to resize anything or move it around. That is pretty rare with items in Second Life sometimes.

The third bag I really liked only cost 300 Lindens and is called Sac de ville 'Paris'! I love this bag, it attaches to your hand and you can pick from 9 different colors/textures. It too has the bling options, you can see that great care was taken into designing this bag. The silver accents on the edges of the bag as well as on the handles really give the bag a little something. A very high detailed piece. There is even a little pocket on the ends of the bag. I really think this will be my favorite shopping buddy from here on out!

And last but defiantly not least, My favorite of the bunch, Its only 250 and has so much detail, it’s a lot like the purse I use in my first life! It is called Sac de ville 'ST.Tropez' and comes in five different colors/textures for you to pick from. The bag has chain links that connect the strap to the actual bag then it has little purse compartments with flaps! There is something about this purse, I just feel like it wants to be my best friend!

Precious Vuckovic of PV has really outdone herself. I love her bags and you will too. You should stop by her little outlet in Redgrave and check out her purses. What’s so nice about her items is you can rez them to take a peek at what you are buying. I really suggest these bags, which all include the bling option and which are also transferable, would be a great accent to your avie or a great gift for a girlfriend, sister or mom!

~KorvinKreations~ Shop Review!

2007-08-19T12:15:00.001-07:00

KorvinKreations - A great lil shop!

A lil shop that has been in existance since march of 07! Trinks for everyone, young and old, boys and girls; men and women!

Wow, that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I visited Pasha Korvin’s new shop! She let me know that her old shop was demolished last week due to events she could not control and got her new place up and running over night!

When visiting KorvinKreations, I really liked the lay out, everything was laid out so I could look at the boxes without clicking through endless vendors. I so hate to do that. I liked the columns she used in the middle of the shop to highlight some items and I was happy to see that there was no real lag at the new place! ( I know what your thinking, you don’t know what Second Life is like without lag, but I’m here to tell you it really helps the shopping experience haha)

Pasha has created a lot of different items from jewelry for men and women to furniture like bean bag chairs and cuddle rugs. She even has a few clothing items such as PJ’s socks and skirts!

Some of her jewelry is pretty cool because you can change the color of the gems included on the piece. A few of them change textures when you click on them. I absolutely feel in love with her bangle bracelets that change textures on click. They go with just about anything! She has several different textured bangles too, they are all pretty cute and hard to pick from, its like do you want just beads or bangles or both? Way to go Pasha, Ill just have to buy one of each!

Her furniture section isn’t large but it is super cute, her cuddle pillows also work as stand alone pillows, so you can drag them over a friend’s house, plop them down and chill. They have really nice poses in them that you can use with a friend or use on your own. The textures are out of this world. One of her items I Just feel in love with was the beanbag chairs!! They are only 3 prims and you can click through the poses! Creative if you ask me and great for those who don’t have half a sim for furniture!

Shes got rings for your toes and your fingers! If you’re a guy or a gal you can find a ring here to fit ya! She also does custom bracelets, you can put just about anything you want on them and give them to someone for a gift or keep for yourself. The bracelets come in gold or silver and the text on them change colors! Hot dog for matching any outfit I wear!!

All and all KorvinKreations has been up and running since about march, pasha said shes tried to get her name out there, but with the bigger designers it almost feels impossible to get exposure! As her big sister I thought I had to do my part and review her shop, it really has something for everyone!

Stop by her shop today at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Isle%20Of%20Syn/223/91/22

Or buy her items on Slexchange.com – Her blog is always up to date with new item releases. http://korvinkreations.blogspot.com/
Two paws up for you Pash my dear, and keep up the good work!

DarkStar Designs - Review of Gaia Goodnight's shop!

2007-07-27T14:18:00.000-07:00

In my travels the last few months I have come across some awesome designers as well as shops… but when stumbled across DarkStar Designs by Gaia Goodnight, my breath was taken away. I found his shop located in the sim called Unlimited, if you follow this link you can check it out yourself. http://slurl.com/secondlife/UNLIMITED/37/20/0

Darkstar Designs has so much to offer, from items, to hair to clothing. The items are a refreshing high quality. Not only is his items high quality, but this guy showed off his building talents in the Unlimited sim, building the stores and putting it together. He has more talent in his pinky then I could ever dream of having. I truly have been flabbergasted by how creative this guy is. You can tell he takes pride in his work, even his boxes are well put together/designed. Just by glancing in the store you can see the massive amount of hard work Gaia has put into his work.

Looking around his shop I found what I like to call my favorite outfit right now! For a mere 300 Lindens not only do you get a skirt, socks, belt, 2 tops but boots and even HAIR! The set is called ::Lovers Rendezvous. The boots are top notch, the finest deatal was taken when creating them. The boots alone I would pay 300 Lindens for. They are brown leather, untied to fit just about any ones foot. The bottom of the shoes even have notches in them for a realistic look. They are simply the best boots I have ever seen in Second life. The socks are so cute, your toes stick out the bottom and one is a little higher then the other, it really makes your avie adorable. The prim skirt is flexi and fit on the first try. That’s so rare! The fit was most excellent with a matching belt. The belt was high in detail notching, the buckle is no ordinary buckle… its in the shape of a heart. Such fine craftsmanship went into this ensemble. Trust this kitty, if you get this outfit, your tail will be swinging with happiness, this is a four paws up outfit!

Darkstar Designs even has items for the guys from high quality boots, to accessory belts. I suppose even the bad ass ladies could wear them. I’m loving this belt, it comes fully equipped with a dagger so you can stab

enemies and even smoke bombs, while these things are attached to the belt and you cant use them, they add a great accent along with loops, chains and even a detailed buckle. The texturing on this belt is out of this world, not only are the pieces exquisite but the texturing really sets the piece off. You can own this belt for only 100 Lindens, I’m sure no one would mes
s with you then!! Darkstar Designs also has a climbing rope that wraps around your waist for only 50 Lindens, you’ll be fully equipped for anything after you visit this shop!

My favorite set of boots I found in Gaia’s shop have to be these awesome Ashwalker Boots. They go with everything! Side buckles keep them in place, a heel for that extra lift and even little loops in the back along the top rim. Again top notch texturing… These are only 100 Lindens… Can you believe it? Really I’m about ready to toss my kat nip aside and just roll around in my new boots!

Costumes, that you just have to see in person, the details of each piece that makes up an out fit is impeccable. There are cloaks for you to check out, headphones, a moogle that will follow you around and even full avatars, There is defiantly something for everyone in this shop! I think next Halloween I will try out his Rikku costume with interactive weapons! Speaking of weapons, Darkstar Designs has some of the most killer guns I have ever laid eyes on, the price ranges from 100 Lindens to 200 Lindens and in between; you’ve just got to get over and check it out! I think Ill grab a blitzer belt for a mere 60 lindens, its an accessory that is a must!

Before your out of his shop, make sure you pick up some hair for your new look. The guys hair seriously will make your avie 10X hotter. When I first met Gaia he had his own hair on, and I was raving over how awesome I thought it looked. The girls could even wear some of his short hair for a shag look. The best part about the hair is the price, I am big on prices and his demos are free *so that’s an automatic belly rub there* and the hair is only 100 Lindens a piece. How can you not pick up several colors at that price? Girls can choose from some flowing hair to pig tails to add a lil extra something themselves.

Over all this guy can build and design with one paw tied behind his little back. Not only is he probably the sweetest person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with, he is multi-talented. He’s created several things that aren’t up in his store, and does this all for the fun of it. He truly makes second life a better place just by having his creations and most of all himself as part of this virtual world.

Gaia Goodnight of Darkstar Designs, I give you 4 paws up, 2 belly rubs and a my post prize possession – my cat bed! You are truly a talented designer. Please everyone, check out Darkstar Designs asap!

=^.^= Neko Gear =^.^= Four paws up!

NEKO GEAR Review

Hey kitties, go break that piggy bank, I have just found the best kitty treats in all of second life, and they’re located in little stores called =^.^= Neko Gear =^.^=! Check them out here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ganesha/140/207/22

I have to say the designer DarkLour Watanabe, really has the kitty style down! Meow, this Kitty went shopping!!!

Not only did I stumble on this shop with the help of a new friend, but the designer popped in while I was there and I have to admit, a designer/builder who is friendly gets five golden kitty treats in my book. DarkLour was so friendly, offering any help to customers with questions, and even sticking around to talk with us for a little while. In speaking with him I found out he has 18 store locations scattered around second life and hopes his group Neko Gear keeps growing. (Be sure to look up his group and get in for updates and what nots). He really has a unique style, he wants his pieces to accent the avie rather then over power your cuteness.

Not only does he hook nekos up with the proper warning signs such as, Sexy Neko Cross; but you can get your own street signs as well as announcements signs like Neko Lane. I love these signs, they really add flavor to your home/area and they wont cost you a paw and a tail! Only 25Lindens each, for that price you must buy at least 4! I love my sexy neko crossing sign, its like my lil place, for all the tom cats to stop and howl when I walk buy! Meow, Bitch!

With all my new goodies from his shop, I decided to set up a lil play area, pulling out my Kitty Lounger I realized how amazing of a product it was, not only can you tint it to your fav shade, but YOU PLACE THE POSE balls where you want. How awesome is that? Now I don’t have to worry about a piece of furniture that I cant modify the pose balls to fit my needs. Way cool. Also perfect for those nekos who have limited prims, you can pick the pose you want to use and keep the rest stuffed safely in your inventory. This perfect lounger is only 250 Lindens.

As far as clothing goes, I just couldn’t pick one shirt, or two shirts and so I’m having a real delima as to what to wear, do I want you to know that you suck? Or do I want you to know that Kitty thinks you’re an asshole? I just love his kitty thinks shirts! The shirts are really put together with humor and neko style! Meow Bitch! These T-shirts you just cannot pass up at only 50Lindens each.

Neko Gears jewelry is awesome, its small so you can resize it to what you need to fit. He and I both discussed it and our favorite pieces are his Collars. They have a tiny bell in them that does not over power when you move around. Its simply a perfect little bell. The collars have such tiny pieces, they are very high quality, with a little dangling paw, the collar is decorated with little paw prints and its just too cute to not have. Only 250 Lindens, such a good investment. You can even get a matching belt.

He isn’t a Designer that just favors the ladies, he also has a few things for the tom cats, awesome finger rings, which I think is quite creative, I even got myself one of each color! His bracelets are the best, they come with 40 different textures, simply click the bracelet and poof, new texture – no need for 40 different bracelets mucking up your inventory anymore! I have to say I’m lovin these bracelets too!

There are so many products that Neko Gear has and not just for girls but for tom cats too! You can decorate your own area up with his barrels, couches, mattress, signs and even street debris. You must visit Neko gear, or kitty will think you suck!

All in all Neko Gear gets all Four paws up and a roll over for a belly rub. I know I will be checking back weekly for Mew stuff from this awesome designer! And dont forget, Check out his group!!

Kittys Bag Lazy Afternoon

2007-02-18T16:33:00.000-08:00

Your friendly neighborhood kitty here just hanging around the house on a lazy Sunday afternoon when I decided to slip on the old combat boots and kick ol Secondlife around a bit so they would let me in..don't know about you guys but this kitten had to tumble around with some bad baaaaaad lag.

Anyway finally making it in game, and successfully being able to move..I took my box of samples from Microphage up a tree and dug in and had a look.

Now I have to be honest I have been eyeballing Microphage by:Delaney Whippet for the past couple of days. Her vibrant ,rich colors kept catching my eyes,her designs remind me of art portraits you may see in a exhibit, which sits just fine with me being a lover of art. So I was more the delighted when she offered to send Couture Debut a box of samples to take a looksee at ^_^

So what's in the kitty's bag? Let's have a look..

first up :

Belted Pencil Dresses: Now the one thing your going to notice about Microphage are her very low prices, I honestly went back a few times to make sure I had written them down correctly in my notes *lol* The Belted Pencil Dresses come in three colors deep blue,olive green, and the maroon you see me wearing in the picture.I quite enjoy this dress, very simple,elegant and classy. And again the colors are very vibrant and rich.

Retro Pucci- I adore this dress, and paired along with a scarf headband hair do and knee high boots how can you go wrong.Marked at a 50L this dress is just fun fun fun, I felt the need to go track down Austin Powers and go wiggle around on the dance floor.This dress is a eye catcher,but Retro designs usually are thats what makes them so enjoyable!

Rose Scoop Neck Top- Now Delaney actually has this paired up with a skirt in her catalog pics for a more dressy look,but I wanted to see if I could possibly get away with a more casual dressed down look and it looks quite nice to this kitten.The Rose Scoop neck top is a mere L25 and comes in four bright vivid colors!

BohemainKeyHoleTank: I'm afraid I went to visit Microphage to find the price on this top and wasn't able to to locate it, but I'm sure if you im Delaney she can point you in the right direction.Again very cute sophisticated look when paired with just a simple pair of pants. For those of you who like the business attire of SL I think this would look quite catching with a matching jacket and pant set.*makes a note to look for a suit later tonight*Again love love the colors.

Spaghetti Strap Tank: Another piece by Mircophage that gives you so many mix and match options, here I'm wearing it with again just a simple pair of suit pants, but for a even dressier look why not a long black skirt, or even a short ruffly skirt for something a lil flirtier.The Spaghetti Tank is deft a piece I probably will be wearing quite often again because of that very sophisticated classic feel that it brings when you put it on.

Buddha Tank: And last but not least Buddha Buddha, I actually am still running around in this shirt right now *lol* fun and casual great paired up with your favorite faded jeans! Again this was another top I could not locate in the store but I'm sure if you just ask for some help you'll get pointed in the right direction.

So all in all this kitty gives Mircophage two excited paws up for her very impressive and unique sense of design. I will be keeping an eye on you Delaney Whippet I sense some very delightful things from you in the months to come. I did happen to make it over to her store as mentioned above and do quite recommend going over to visit. Very clean and organized shop and quite a delight to stroll around in ^_^

Sunday Sunday..Shopping with the Kitten

2007-02-12T23:14:00.000-08:00

Bright eyed and bushy tailed on a cooold Sunday morning I decided to take the day off from work and float around Secondlife and just enjoy a day of shopping. Something this kitten usually neeeever does. My shopping usually is very umm strict..to the point..boring..can't find the words but I scan the forums see something I like bada boom bada bing run in, grab it and out I go. Yes I know wha a female who doesn't like to shop snickers *whispers in your ear* we do exist,really we do..
However on this Sunday I found myself standing in the middle of Kin Keiko's store, just taking my time and looking at all her new items. I was lucky enough a few months back to have a friend take me to Kin Keiko's
and my first time there I think I almost bought everything she had. If you have never been I highly recommend you go.Kin Keiko in my opinion has grasped the feel and style of just that romantic wispy carefree look,every time I wear one of her designs I feel like I should sprout pixie wings and take off at full speed and just enjoy tearing through a blue sky without
a care in the world.And affordable! At 100L a piece I don't have to bargain with myself and think ok if I get this one I can't get that one I'll have to come back in a
few days..nope you can just get them all but by all means go back! ^_^
Like I said I pretty much have all her designs with the exception of maybe one or two of the male pieces which I may go back and get anyway for my male modeling..This time around this is what came home with the kitten..
1.Amaunet: Very soft and again whimsy long hair style pulled up on either side
with flexi ties. I've actually been wearing this one quite a bit,especially
with my big ol stomper boots

2. Amelia : Another long style pulled into what I call piggy buns,because their both pigtails and buns (this is what my family and friends call ravense I'm so special I have my own vocabulary) seriously if my hair was a bit
longer I probably would run around like this in real life. Long flowy and swishy when you walk.Simply Adorable.
3. Cassi : I love short hair even though the majority of the time you will find me with long hair only because thats what I have in rl and just what I'm accustomed to,however! Short hair I think is so sassy and sexy. Kin Keiko does a wonderful job adding the wisps of bangs in the front for just enough flexi to make this hairstyle both able to be formal and casual depending on what occasion you have lined up for the night.

4.Emi:This hairstyle may not be for everyone but I just had to have it when
I saw it. It just screams FUN!!! This is the girl you see out on a surf board, or skateboarding or tearing around the corner in a go- kart. Her hair is the
last thing on her mind but it still looks fantastic.

5. Koda:Laughs softly, very rarely do I find something in any game that just makes me break out in a smile, this short hairstyle did just that. Not your
everyday combing,although for some it may be and I say kudos to you but again something that I bought sheerly out of the fact that it just gave my
avie that fun ,happy,carefree look.
I know occasionally I do see Kin Keiko in some of the fashion blogs but I don't think she gets the attention her designs deserve. Her style breathes fun,and light heartiness that you usually don't find in fashion regardless of where you look. Four enthusiastic paws up.. For Kin Keiko run don't walk to her store ASAP..

Stylish Shoes for men and women!

2007-02-10T12:03:00.000-08:00

Shoes can be one of the most important accessories of your avies life! Seriously, if you have the right shoes to kick off any outfit you will be one hot mamma – or even Papa!

I never realized how hard it was to find shoes for both men and women. I have to say this task was more difficult and had me wanting to run for the nearest well known accessory shop in the middle of my search. Being an equal opportunist I wanted both men and women to have something to check out, so I reviewed two types of footwear for each!

My first discovery has got to be these awesome boots! They look so cute on any male avie and you know, I think the hard core Goth type girls could wear them too. They are by SiniStyle and are called “Shit Kickers”! Well then.. what a name! They come in two colors of course your typical black that will go with just about anything as well as your brown shade of boot. What caught my eye about these boots is how carefree they look, as if you didn’t spend much time putting your shoes on, yet they set off that bad boy image!

One thing I loved about this store was the simple fact that these boots were so easy to find. They were smack dab in the first spot I looked! Yay for easy to navigate stores! Another thing that rocked the house was the demo boot! I have in the past purchased shoes that I found to be cute on the picture of the box or even the model sitting out, but once my little foot goes inside them… my feet look huge and on rare occasions disfigured! Therefore I am a huge fan of the demo shoe.

These boots in black or brown shade come half untied. I love the 3D effect the laces give. One of the most important things to me with any object in second life is the transferable issue. Many people I’ve talked with say they would rather have an item be full copy…I have no clue why I am different, but I am. These boots are no Transfer but you can copy and modify them. Modify is another important factor, some people have weird shaped feet and need to mod their shoes rather then their shape! You can purchase these boots for a mere 400L at the new SiniStyle Design location in Mechozilla.

Being fair and for those GQ kind of male avies, I found a shoe for those guys who like to dress up. I was very impressed with layout of the store not to mention how nice the shoe looks on those grown men avies! My good friend Hans actually is the one responsible for finding this dress shoe and for being the way handsome model in the pics! The name of the shop is Y.S. authentics – and it can be found in the sim called PrimAdonna.

When I visited this store I was impressed with the variations as well as colors of shoes that were available to the well dressed man of Second Life. The layout of the store was probably one of the nicest I have ever laid my avies eye’s on. Each shoe was show cased in a glass case for you to view. Some shoes even came with walk over riders so your guy wouldn’t look as if he was galloping to his next formal event.

The shoe Hans Waldman is modeling is called The Newman. As you can see the shoe is very very well put together, giving a English leather look from laces to a shine on the top of the shoe to stitching on all sides as well as a soft shaded inside for your foot to rest comfortably. These shoes are made without the use of invisible prims. Another high point of this shoe is the simple fact it is transferable, so you can let a buddy borrow your shoes for his night out on the town! You cannot copy or modify these shoes but you can share them. For a mere 325 Lindens your feet can be stylin at the next black tie event!

Now what would any shoe article be with out the ladies!!! Being that were talking about dress shoes already, I want to show case probably the best prim heel I have ever laid my avie eyes on. The detail of these heels really prove that designers and builders out there really do take pride in their work and show it by producing products such as these heels that are found at the Sleeve 55 Studios office located in the sim TreeLine.

The store from the outside made me want to rush right in. It was built with a great use of colors let alone the style was impeccable. Inside you could see everything you wanted, shoes in different colors same style grouped together. Easy navigation is this girls friend. There was even a few stools I could plop down on not to mention the cutest cash register area in the middle of the store. While Ms. Vyre Cohen has made several types of shoe and sandals for men and women the one that caught my eye was the Strappy heels. I have to say too they make my feet look very sexy. The highlight of these shoes for me is the heel. You can see it’s made up with several different prims giving it a very 3D look.

These heels look good with just about anything from skirts to shorts to high fashion ball gowns. I love the variation of colors and the way my foot looks perfectly fit inside the straps as if I was Cinderella getting ready for my ball. These shoes are a mere 250 Lindens, while they are no transfer or modify but you can copy these shoes so when your going out on the town wearing these shoes.. You know.. You’re bringing sexy back, with the help of Sleeve 55 Studios.

Last but not least is some casual wear for both men and women. While the tennis shoes I selected were for the ladies. These shoes come in several different colors from black/white – white/black – light blue/white – pink/white – red/black and even yellow/white. My favorite thing about these shoes was the price… 75 Lindens! Anyone who knows me, knows what a bargain hunter I am. These cute casual shoes could be worn on both male and female avatars. What’s cuter then two avies in love wearing matching tenny’s? Another idea is matching shoes for parents and child avies.

These shoes can be found at the Nein! Shop in Athena! The shop is very large, but homey as you strole around trying to find your ideal items. The shoes are found upstairs with other accessories. The textures used on the shop and the layout shoes that great care was put into designing this shop. You can find more then just shoes here, there are boots as well as clothing and jewelry hanging on walls for you to purchase. My most favorite thing about Nein! Is the simple fact is that it is affordable for anyone. You can also buy these shoes for yourself or give them to a friend, they are no copy – no mod- but YOU CAN TRANSFER! YAY!

These adorable shoes are untied and come crafted with even a loop on the back, this designer thought of everything! The big fluffy tongue of the shoe hangs out for that lose fitting stylish look. I love prancing around in my tenny’s when shopping, dancing or exploring!

So there you have it ladies and gents! Shoes for both men and women – the best stuff in Second Life that deserves a little attention! Ta Ta For Now!

Inside the Kitten's Shopping Bag

2007-02-09T13:51:00.000-08:00

The Kitten woke up early this morning and was flipping through the new products posts on
the SecondLife Forums while nursing a second cup of coffee . (dang cold here =<(~.~)>= )
and came across a post by Radical Twang showcasing a cute lil swimsuit and short set.

So the pigtails came off and I grabbed my purse and headed down to the Reaction Surf Store.
If you've never had the pleasure to visit Reaction Surf Store I'd deft recommend it,
the store is neatly set up and quite comfortable to shop in. In first visiting I was under the
impression that all the designs were done by one person, heh kitty was wrong ,in fact there are a few designers that help make up the Reaction Surf Store and I personally think the compliment each other perfectly making the shopping experience quite refreshing.

So what did the kitten come home with , oh come see come see first up..

Reaction Girls-Skullies Bikini Set(Breezy Biddle)- For a mere 140L you can get this adorable bikini set with matching boardies included .This is the reason I made my trip to begin with the boardies are just darling , there are different styles and colors available.

Wrong-Clip Set( Kaysha Sion)- At 150L this 4 piece set is a steal, you get arm warmers, the top and skirt and skirt base. What caught my eye on this outfit was the belts around the thighs, it makes the set very unique and eye catching. Perfect for a Friday night out clubbing with the girls.

Roxee-Glimpse(Trinitee Trilian)- 175L gets you a very stylish 5 piece set complete with gloves and fishnet stockings. Soon as I saw this I had to grab it.It's sweet and sexy all at the same time!

Roxee -Persistant(Trinitee Trillian)-185L 7 piece set. Are we seeing a trend here fabulous stylish sets for very reasonable prices. Persistant was another set that I didn't have to think twice about the red in this outfit is so vibrant it just pops. And there are so many different ways you can wear this very versatile and fun.

These girls are deft a treasure to check out over and over again, I know I'm bookmarking
the Reaction Surf Store and going back for more. They even have cute lil flip flops
at a mere 60L for ladies and even have a selection for the gentlemen with shoes and
nice very attractive tops!
