Luxe Paris Summer Fashion Collection Review

🎈 LUXE Paris Summer Fashion Collection! 🎈

PAGE REVIEW HERE

We are so happy to have had the chance to write a review for the
LUXE Paris Summer Fashion Collection!

This time we decided to share pictures of Judie and Bo for 9 of the outfits of the Collection. Judie is more model material, and Bo just does what Bo does.  We both have fun in the process! Yay again for TEAM WORK! 😊

What a terrific opportunity to have a close look at the work of these designers! Creating clothing for Second Life is an art, and the designers at LUXE Paris are demonstrating the kind of quality one expects to find in a name associated with Paris also in the real world.

Sunday Theme Challenge "Our sunny dispositions"

The sunshine girls had a late night party and didn't get home until the wee hours of the morning. Without thinking twice they put on their most comfy PJ's and robes and went straight out to the deck to have an extra early morning coffee and watch the sun rise through cucumbers and aloe masks... and chillax!

Image taken at Bo's SL Home set up with "(ba) monhegan tinyhouse", Featuring (sf) Beach Adirondack chairs and in front of Judie and Bo is the much needed espresso - 24-8f8 -La Petite Joie Cafè - Espresso Order.

Welcome to our 19th GGC . Asteria Mainstore

This week we decided to use  Asteria Mainstore  . One of our friends suggested this store a while back and after another look it looked like a very good choice.

Outside is the group joiner and on the right is a huge choice of classic GG's and some more on the inside that is more up to date and mesh based.

This week we have a new friend join us. Welcome Tillies. Tillies dress sense is very unique and eclectic, and normally involves seeing more of her when she's dressed than you would do

if she was naked. I don't know how she does it. It's a real skill.

Judie chose 2 outfits from the classic ( Judie has a Maitreya body) range outside the shop to show the quality. The 2 mini dresses are lovely and come out well when i turned the graphics up high. There was a third colour (black) on display, but when i unpacked it , it was another red. A store error.

Three Judies is better than one

I found a new way of displaying pictures with a little help from a friend.

Thank you (you know who you are).

I can delete the backgrounds, but it takes me ages and at the moment i don't have the patience , so he has kindly done the hard work for me, leaving me free to play with the result.

The Three Judies(Graces)

Sunday Theme Challenge, "Date Night"

This week our challenge was "Date Night". And we took some shots which all look fine at first, but after further review I decided that another photo shoot is in order.  It would well be worth it for a future re-do!

So the best picture for the weeks challenge goes to Judie and Ronny!

Progress of (BA) Tinyhouse

Creating an ideal setting is one of my favorite things to do on Second Life. Love the process!  The below are progress so far. I am creating a space that is perfect for the most hot summer days.

I sat outside waiting for Bo yesterday in the sun.

It's a lovely relaxing place.

Welcome to our 18th GGC. *PosESion*

I chose this challenge to give the girls something different as we have had quite a run of slightly dull , uninspiring GG's recently.

I found this store from a Group Notice. There are many poses all round a very well laid out store.

There is a huge array of group gifts and 3 lucky chairs that change letter regularly, and these 2 pose sets stood out to me as they where so beautiful and i wasn't disappointed.

I hope the girls have found them inspiring as well and for sure i will be using them a lot in the future.

In the area in the front of the shop is The darkness Monthly Event being held. Very interesting for the goth/fae/dark ones amongst us who like good props for photography.

Bo has got all creative on me this week. I love the result. Endless possibilities once you start playing with effects.

A visit to Free Dove

I havn't been to look at freebie places for a while and wondered how much they had changed since mesh bodies had arrived. It shows you how long it is since i went looking.

I went to FREE DOVE last week and after giving a donation(which i only think is right as i am not a new resident, and not desperate for cloths) i went for a look round to see if i could put together 6 very simple outfits. I was suprised how much mesh there was there as a Noob isnt going to be able to afford a mesh body for the first few weeks , but i guess you have to take alts into account.

Welcome to the 17th GGC TRS Designs Mainstore

This week we are using TRS Designs Mainstore.

I went a few weeks ago and again this week to have a good look round and the GG's are changed regularly.

I like to get these GGC's organised about 2 weeks in advance, so you will notice that there is a July 4th theme going on with the GG's as it was the beginning of July when i set the girls their challenge ,and if you go back each week the gifts will have different.

All the GG's had classic and popular mesh appliers in them. It is a well laid out shop and there are lots of offers , a MM board and  a good range and GG's available from most of the popular groups.

We do this GGC  with new residents (Noobs) in mind who may read this Blog and see that you can start with free GG's and still look good and then later remember that store and go back when you have learnt more and have some money to spend.

My point, yet again is 'why do so many stores not put more effort into their GG's'?

Shapeless badly textures GG's are not going to be remembered and will go straight in the delete folder and they won't get return customers.

Sunday Theme Challenge, "Picnic"

This week the girls had a summer picnic! It was perfect for the 4th of July Holiday week!

Bo and Judie had so much fun with the picnic and the 4th of July celebration, they decided to set up stage, and put on their native flags and have a dance party in honor of both countries, USA and England!

😊 This was a great time! 😊

Welcome to the 16th GGC Alien Gizmo

I have noticed this store ,Alien Gizmo, giving out  250L vouchers regularly since Christmas.

I'm not sure how he is making money , but crowds seem to show up to get the vouchers. So if at least half go back and use the voucher and buy one item i guess he is doing well.

It's a big, well laid out store with a lovely entrance and split into a MENS and WOMENS sections,  5 lucky chairs , Midnight mania and Midnight madness boards for both men and women.

Some of my friends have the male mesh body ADAM, so i always look out for that logo on items, and i found some here, and a pair of boots for ADAM on the GG board. (One of my friends left me an IM saying " ME ? wearing boots with chains?! NO).

The lotus dress has good detail but is only good for static poses not much movement. I found with Judies A.O. that her legs broke through the dress. This happens a lot on these long mesh dresses.

When you land in the main courtyard entrance there is a small building behind you specifically for Group members only and by wearing your group tag you get these items at a reduced price. (MOZ have a VIP room too ).
