Diamanda Formal and Ari Babydoll

New dresses! They made their debut at the podshow island 'Rock in Style' fashion last night and it was great fun. Live music and super clothes. I'll probably make the formal in more colors soon rl had me rather distracted for the last week and I haven't gotten to it yet.

Silk Hunt!

I've had some stuff just sitting in my inventory. Discontinued styles and colors I wasn't so crazy about so I boxed 5 up and hid them around the island. Freebies with a twist :D Mostly cause I want you all to get out and explore a bit I made all these cute little cuddle spots that no one ever uses. 5 silks for 5L. Go hunt, have fun!

Silk Gift Cards Have Arrived!

Here they are in all their glory. Only available for use on silks atm. If there's a need for me to set up the other items with the system I will. I purchased the fantastic gift card system from the super helpful Escort Defarge and I'm very happy. Super easy to setup and I got these pretty lil cards :D Just buy whatever denomination and give to your person of choice. They 'wear' the card and use it as their payment method. Yay! Say you have a 500L card and buy a 450L silk, there's 50L left you can apply it to another purchase and pay the rest from your linden balence. Waste not want not. It's brilliant I'm thrilled. *jumps up and down*

Diamanda Silkies and the coming of gifty cards

SL made these such a p.i.a. to make but I finally finished them. Despite lag, crashes, turning brick red at random moments etc. Diamanda is a glittering diamond of a silk. Available in Diamond, Blue, Pink, Lilac, Aqua, Canary and Lilac.

And lookie the June Lucky Chair silk. I try to keep the lucky chair silks Limited Editions. So grab it while you can!

Note: Talana will be closed for a few hours on Monday or Tuesday-to be announced. I need some time and space to set up the gift card system. Woohoo! For start its just going to be for the silks since they are almost the only no transfer items. But there's a lot of silks and it will take me a bit to get it set up. I will send out an official notice when I decide on a time.

Gypsy with Sculpties!

Okay so I volunteered to read tarot cards and then I was at a loss for what to wear for my engagment so I asked my sis Abby Coalcliff to help me throw something together. In the middle of our efforts Nicky Ree annouced her gypsy outfit which is super fab awesome check it out here ! *bows down trying to properly pay credit* She did hers 1st didnt truly mean to come up on her heels.

Anyway back to our creation....

Each Set Includes: Top, White Top, Sculpted Sleeves,Flexi Skirt,HipWrap,HeadWrap,Earrings,Glitch PantsAnd YES sculpted sleeves!

Purple is RFL exclusive.

Come watch me embarass myself at the RFL fair tonight!

Come get your cards read for a great cause!

"Shai Delacroix and Shop-a-holics for a Cause are hosting a Relay for Life fundraiser this Sunday at 1:00 pm SLT too. The theme is “fortune tellers” and you’re encouraged to come dressed up like a gypsy. There will be tarot readings, contests and magic booths. Sounds like fun. The event coordinates are Relay Charity 165, 158, 23." -Snagged from Second Style Blog

I've volunteered myself to the shopaholics team for this event so come get your future told!
I'll be reading from 7-9 SLT though the event officially runs from 1-9SLT they'll be tons to see, buy and do all in support of RFL.

Deity Silks- For the goddess in you!

Okay so it's been a lil while since my last silk. Even I can get burned out on making one thing over and over. I try to be innovative and different it doesn't always work but I do put the effort in. This silk is made of drapey goodness in rich jewel tones.
Each set includes:
Top, Drape on Jacket layer, Flexi Cape, Flexi Sash, Panty and Skirt.
There's mix and match potentional here for the bold and brave. I hope you enjoy :)

Pan-tha!

Fierce- It's been forever since I made a panther set. So Fierce was born and it has a cool decorative dagger built into the waist band of the skirt. I think looking dangerous is smexy. I love you but I'll slice you! *bats eyelashes sweetly* The set comes with top, thong, armwraps, anklewraps, skirt, choker and available in 2 prints.

Nymphet and Some 'kinis

I like this dress much more than I thought I would. It's kinda wicked looking. My sister Angelica (yes, another rl sis in sl..what can I say we have gaming addictions) is forever in pursuit of shorter skirts and all the trappings of clubwear. So I made this...and warped it into something I like too. It's following my gothy theme of late and its got the club glitter shine to it. So glitter-goth it shall be. The set comes with All 5 colors of tops, Thong, Gloves, and flexi skirt in 2 sizes. What can I say, I like black lace.

AND...cause Im in a jumping on the bandwagon kinda mood. I made bikinis. 3 patterns same style sold as a set. 200L on shirt/pants and underwear layers. They're no transfer... :p
Happy downtime to you all! I hope your work/house cleaning/tv watching/reading/errands/beta grid stalking all goes well! See you in the aftermath!

I maketh more stuff

On a kick. When I'm not feeling my best I make things. It's like therapy I never really thought about til my best friend pointed it out. Usually my mood is reflected in whatever I've made. So today's offerings are as follows

Detention Worthy-My 1st Attempt at a schoogirl outfit. Top,Knee-Highs,Skirtbase,Flexi mini, panties

Onto things I made today....
Living Dead 'School' Girl- A goth revamp of Detention Worthy.

and
Fairuza which is loosely based on the gothic lolita style...yet oddly enough if you nix the sleeves and striped socks it looks a bit like a can can dancer costume. *insert puzzled and amused look*.
The set comes with:
Top and Sleeves in 3 colors, Glitch Shorts, Flex Crinoline skirt, Gloves to avoid that weird thing that happens when you make loose mesh sleeves, Striped socks, Arm Ruffles and Cameo Choker.

and now Im off to sleep...nini.

I maketh stuff

Kiana is a print silk with what I decided is a native island girl theme. I didn't think I'd like it but now I do I think it came out really nice. But I'll let you judge for yourself.

Owned and some afterthoughts

New silks out today. Yippie. I really like the colors on this set they kinda came together on their own. In addition to the 9 you can purchase there's another 2 behind the scenes. Sky and Tangerine. Sky was given to the update group as a gift and Tangerine now resides in the lucky chair as the May release. If you long for a new silk you can still join my update group and snag it from the past notices section.

And onto another topic. Review copies. Yes, I know everyone makes a review copy post but with good reason. We all have different opinions. If you ( a second life blogger with a site you can direct me to *with regular posting schedule*) wish to receive a review copy of my stuff, just ask. I won't be angry if it doesn't make the cut as long as you don't abuse your status. I occasionally pass out review copies on my own, but really I'm shy. I religiously read SL blogs and the writers have star status I am easily intimidated. Though the bloggers I've met have been nothing but nice and friendly I still have Wayne's World "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy" moments. I feel much the same about big name designers. Star struck! But that's cool I think Sl-ebrity is a great thing especially because it's based on your talent and your work put forth. Okay I'll end my tangent there.
In closing, if I don't pass you an item of mine that screams your name let me know. If I do pass you stuff and you'd prefer another color that's okay too. Just use common sense and decency.

Then there's always the possibility no one reads my blog. :D

Newness.

It's good to be back to a non-hurried pace!
A new silk and a 10 piece gothy delight is what I have for you today.
Bathory is a 10 piece set, with 3 skirt options! go nuts.
Kali is a shimmery, India inspired silk with bindis in matching colors :D

-----------------------
Such work to get this open before clothing fair and I may kick myself for rushing but I'm 75% pleased. I hope you'll stop by and see it.

Amira and Relay

1st up a sister silk to my Meela design. Amira is sari inspired and comes in 4 different color combos. Harlequin, Citrus Twist, Deep Jewels and Aqua Bliss.

And Im so happy to announce I've joined an awesome RFL team! Woohoo! So I'll get to working on RFL items very soon I'm super excited to be involved. Shopaholics For A Cause is a huge group and I look forward to meeting them all. There's a kiosk in front of the store for donations. Give give give give!

Sabina and Diversity

Sabina is an FW dress to start but a really elegant medieval style gown once you take off the veils. The veil is also scripted to change from sheer to solid.
6 colors.


Diversity is my attempt to do color change right. Im not a huge fan of in world coloring as it makes most things flat and icky. So I've been experimenting with ways to keep the detail and still give you all the conveinence and options of color change. The metallic prim details in this silk are also scripted to change from silver to gold. So tons and tons of options are available.

Gossamer Silks

Beautifully delicate panels and jeweled accents make this silk special. Available in 9 gorgeous colors. 7 Jewel Toned Solids and 2 Varigated Tones; peacock (a blue to green fade) and sunset ( a fushcia to orange).

**Side note- I will be unavailable until Monday March 8th due to rl busy stuffs**

Drop me a notecard if you need anything.

Dare to be bound?

New Silks in shop. And my last release for a few days as RL is getting hectic. Bound is for the girls who are fit to be tied. Chains from collar to waist and wrapped around the top. A *full prim* chain waist band (so yea a ton of prims). Wire wrap armbands and braclets complete the look. I really like how this one turned out I wanted something a little contemporary and sexy. The panels look almost latex like and each one is trimmed in black lace to soften the hard edge look of the silk.

Original Sin

This silk started off simple enough. A pretty fabric, some flowers...then it took on a life of it's own. I wanted to call it Eden but the lil gears in my head wouldn't let it alone. So then came the snake armband with his charming jeweled eyes and little snake collar (cause he's your pet after all). After the snake crawled into the silk theme there was only one thing missing...a shiny red tempting...apple. Thus the Original Sin Silk was whole and unleashed into public. Not sure what anyone else will think but I think it's pretty cool and different.

Each Silk Inculdes: Top, Panty, Armbands, Snake Armband, Skirt, and Shiny Red Apple

Only available in 3 colors.
