Forgot to mention...

Dare

Silks that is. I'm starting to feel a smidge of silk burnout so I'll be working on some other stuff for a bit. But 1st I have a new release for you. Something a little fun and different.
Each set includes top, panty, armbands, bracelets, anklets and circlet.

Time to be,,,Ravishing!

New silks this week! Ravishing available in 9 awesome shades. Now in the silk shop on Talana and gift card ready. Also the lucky chair silk has been changed out. A super risque verison of Ravishing is up for grabs. Some come and see if your letter is up!

Sirah and a 4th of July Limited Edition

Sirah silks in some pretty summer brights! I love the prim design on these.
And for some silly silks cause I do so love holiday themed silks. Sirah in Amerciana! Show your submission and a lil patriotic spirit. Americana verison is only available til July 5th! They're 300L to buy and also available in the Lucky Chair. Enjoy :)

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

Island is now open to the public

Im yeah tired now.
But it's open and so far so good.
Here's the complete lisiting of New Releases
I'll umm add details later. But theyre all avaiable now in Talana!
