Sweet & Salty

SL's own lady-about-town Sileny is not only one of my fellow bloggeristas for both Free*Style + The Sweet Side, but she's also a tres talented skinmaker for her own Mango, Mango! skinline. There's been a lotta buzz on the feeds about her smexeh new skins, some of which you can currently scoop as $1L gifts or even for free.

To salute the opening of her lovely new Mango, Mango! store, my bff DreamAngel Larnia + I thought it would be fun to combine 2 of our fave Mango, Mango! skins with another one of my obessions: SL food.

Dream grabbed this scrumptious chocolate frosted cake while I snuck a bag of salty preztels (both free on the Cupid Heart Hunt) while we headed to our favie noshing spot: this picturesque toxic waste dump. -- Nothing like a li'l chemical waste to go with your snax. Adds to the flava, ya know?
Actually this industrial photo scene + the gray/blue-walled bench room used here are both free photo studios that you can currently scoop as group gifts at Lithium. As per usual with the Lithium stuff, all textures are baked to a tee, resulting in just awes must-haves for photogs.

Sileny, we luhs you like sweet chocolate cake + salty preztel yummehs rubbed all ovah our SL selves.
Here's a close-up of how luscious these Mango, Mango! skins are. This paler tone is so pretty; check out the dramatic girlie pink eye makeup here. For our "sweet" look, Dream channeled a classically elegant feel in this striking lime $1L gown by Exclusiva that's been all over the feeds. Her $1L emerald Art Deco necklace, new $1L Donna Flora earrings + free Magika hair completed this polished look.
I'm in a tanner "Lemonade" freckled skin that really makes me long for summer. For my slightly "salty"-ier look, I'm wearing these suuuperlow-cut Luck Inc. striped jeans + one of the prettiest hair gift finds from the new KDC Hair Mall that just opened, this free ribboned hairband style from the Salon Cri-Cri lucky board. My skully armband tat is free at Kanival + these fat necklace pearls are free by Mocha (another Cupid Heart Hunt gift). My top is part of a smokin' red lace dress by Nardcotix that's not free but a smexeh new release for V-day. The free ciggie was just for 'tude (+ 1 of the coolest "smoking" ones, courtesy of Persona).
It really didn't take much to decide who was gonna be the salty + who was gonna be the sweet for this post. LOL.
Now's the time to scoop these Mango, Mango! skins since you can grab 2 at an unbelievable $1L and another cute green + pink camo-like makeup skin totally free via a lucky board. You can also catch a li'l sneak peek at a few of Sileny's upcoming skins at the Valentine's Bazaar (where everything is a reasonable $50L or under) and still others can be found her mainstore marked down to $150L.

If you see Sileny, give her some messy choco pretzel smoochies from us. Sweet & salty love + fashionista kisses to all!

Grin & Bear It

I have a particular fondness for bears + some recent gifties + other bear-y cute finds seemed to call for a li'l showing.

I won these free cute slippers in the Mocha lucky board about a month ago + I've been parading around in them ever since. The lucky boards are giving them away in cream, dark brown + light brown colors, in addition to some girlie-girl high-cut panties. The store has moved slightly (a little down the road from its former location) so take this updated sLURL here to hit it. How cute are these li'l guys?
Kue just started a new MM board giftie, this free adorable bear pillow. It comes with 2 sits (shown here) + is such an awes thing to chillax with in front of a fire. The bear is even holding a little red heart. Awwws! Fair warning: the count is low on this MM board -- like, 10 low -- so if you want this thing, it's best to plan for an early slappy.
These earmuffs were a $20L find by Ruru@Pino @ Last Period. Aren't they ahhhdorables?
This red + black striped minidress that I'm wearing with these fluffy bear earmuffs was another $1L find at Last Period (I believe it's by MeteoRain but don't quote me on that). This belted mini is such a fun party look. I couldn't resist adding the smexeh schoolmarm glasses that are free by NALA for the Cupid Heart Hunt. Love the unique red "heart shadows" that sit below the eyes on these. Life is all about the fashion extras.
This pretty updo hair by Junwave can be found for $1L at the new KDC Hair Mall. In honor of the new opening, nearly all the vendors have set out free + $1L gifties. (Somebody please holla at me if you see a "T" in that Salon Cri-Cri lucky board -- that ribbon hair is just too kyoot!) This Junwave updo is really cute; you get 3 colors + there's a handy auto script resizer too.

Here's a close-up of the To. Die. necklace I'm wearing with this look, which is a spectacular emerald Art Deco design by Millette @ Switch. This is one of those exceptional finds that I just could not believe was a gift. This fastidiously detailed piece will set you back all of $1L.
I'll close this post with a quick shot of what struck me as being the anti-teddy bear: this red-pinned voodoo doll, which you can scoop as a photo studio with 2 poses by Tuft at the $50L Valentine's Bazaar (where I also scooped this pretty $50L Pink Fuel skin I'm wearing in these last shots). Too bad Gavin severely underestimated my superior voodoo powers here.
Hope everyone is having a bear-y good Hump Day. Love + fashionista kisses to all!
