Weekend Finds - May 11th

A very busy weekend for me with my shop opening and real life events. But I did manage to garner a few cool things to report on. My top is a very classy, long and pink tank from LaLa FooFoo’s new satellite store at House of Heart — Tropical Escape 130/172/22. While you are in the neighborhood, zip over to the BIG building and find some new release samples of hair. There are small white posters scattered about the building all containing the same hairs.

The hair I am wearing is from the sister shop of the new House of Heart, Bewitched — Lemon Island 128/127/23. I actually chose an old landmark, not putting the new store with the new store’s name and wound up at my old stomping grounds, Bewitched. What do you know? A very nice new release pack of Bewitched hairs greeted me there.

The skirt shown was a lucky chair prize from Sn@tch — Pulse 176/212/29 and the leg bandanna (which matches VERY well) came from Lazy Places — Growl 49/121/22. Look for a big box out in the open spaces between shops.

My little shoulder pet was a present to all of Fashcon (that many thousands of folks) from Venice Picassa. Cute little fellow

Grand Opening - Love Chic!

So here I am in my new shop after just finishing EVERYTHING - whew! I look sort of lonely in this picture, but that didn’t last too long. I sent out my first Fashcon notice along with some pictures and a landmark and I had a hoard of ladies come to visit. Lots of fun!

So my new shop is about mix and matching with all items being $25 or less. A new $10 item will come out each week. This is my CURRENT plan of course and we know how fast things change at Phil’s Place.

For now I am going to post the clothes shop items mixed in with my freebie posts, reviews, culture and the like. There IS a category list on the side of the blog now so you can filter out just the freebies, or just the shop posts. Whatever works for you is OK with me!

Here are a few of the items available for $25 at my shop.

Serenity Day Spa

Need a little rest and relaxation WITHIN your rest and relaxation? Well Serenity Day Spa might be your new favorite place. It is a lovely spot for couples or even us single gals.

I had a wonderful but all too brief massage from Slaid. And I was busy taking photos besides, so I didn’t get that “AHHH ” factor (wink). The therapy rooms are different styles with a fountain tub in one. This looks both restful AND romantic.

From their business card:

We pride ourselves in offering a wide variety of spa services for men, women and couples including massage therapy, facials, manicures, pedicures, aromatherapy,spa bath, yoga, hair and skin care, wedding party preparations and more.Serenity Day Spa & Wellness Center wants to set trends in the SL. We truly care about each and every client that walks through our doors. At Serenity you receive the special attention to detail and professionalism that you deserve.

And as a special for Mother’s Day they are giving away cute plaid pajamas with pink logo tanks. Find them all around the spa including the gift shop and entry. There is also a very pretty Spa logo tee that is made to tuck into pants. As you can see from the photos there were plenty of people lining up to peruse and purchase treatments and gifts.

The logo tee can be found on a sideboard by the pool exit. There is also an onyx bracelet and ring there. All lovely gifts! According to the notecard, onyx has both healing and mystical powers. AND it is very pretty (smile) so that counts too for you fashionistas.

Three’s the Charm

Tuli – Le Zoo 130/143/22 — sent out a prototype skin called Elf just for fun. It comes in four pastel colors with the Lilac version shown here. Lots of freckles on this model and definitely fun. I kinda miss my dark eyebrows but I love the eye makeup (wink). Shown here with one of the swimsuits sent out yesterday by PixelDolls — Port Seraphine 121/132/46 — and the House of Heart — Tropical Escape 128/68/24– hair, Natasja in birch.

Flower Hunt & Love Chic

There is a Lost Flower Hunt going on at Island Depot — Island Depot 99/131/22. While the announcement SOUNDED like this was a new thing, some of the prizes look a lot like what Hazel blogged — well it seems like months ago. I found some different things though and only did about half the store so far. So I will show you what I found as there are many things to garner — especially if you are a home owner. And don’t worry this WILL get into fashion further down the page.

Here I am in front of the cute flower carts. Please notice the outfit. Yes, there will be a test later and the outfit is the segue into the fashion part of this post.

And here are just a FEW of the many items I found VERY easily while strolling though the store and grounds.There is a cute gazebo, bench with couples’ pose (Notice ball sitting empty? Insert frown here.) There are also copyable outdoor lanterns, some garden stepping stones and some flowers. I found many other garden plaques, flowers, an adult sized “kiddie pool” in bright colors and the list goes on. I am about halfway done and will probably find most of them without too much effort. I don’t have land yet, but I may some day, so I’ll be saving these in my ever growing inventory.

OK. Remember that outfit I was going to test you on? Now’s the time. Guess who made the outfit?

I have been working on a little boutique store lately. After one false start which included problems between estate owner and the shop owner with fun special effects like disappearing buildings, furniture and the like ….. I MOVED to a new place which is much nicer in many ways and I have protected ocean at my door and more prims. So for posterity and my records, here I am in front of my empty shop this morning.

Just Another Shop by the Endless Ocean (wink). I’ll make an official announcement when my Fashcon post happens next week (she says crossing fingers), but the name of the shop is “Love Chic” and the theme is travel and photography and snapshots sent home. The exciting part is that I am selling items (mostly shirts and pants) for $25 and under.

And yes, I have spent a LOT of time on the beta grid assuring that MY seams match! I had better, don’t cha think? If you want to stop by and see how it is coming along, it is at Oceanside Plaza — http://slurl.com/secondlife/Agapema/119/116/29. I really LOVE my endless view!

Swimmin’ in the Moonlight with Sn@tch

I pulled Wonder away from his Tai Chi to model for me. I know I should make a “guy” avatar for myself, but I doubt I could ever look as great as Wonder (sigh) so he will just HAVE to go along with my request — she says hopefully.

Anyway, it is Wednesday eve and Ivey put out her freebie for all us Sn@tch-istas. It is on the wall of the shop for 0 Linden. Just find it and click. A great bikini in ohsopretty colors and some board shorts for gals OR guys.

Don’t forget you can sign up at the SubscribeOMatic right inside the door and be informed of new items and free stuff automatically. Well YEAH you can!

Thanks Ivey!

Whimsical Necklace Set

Just a quick post to say that Whimsical Creations (Dark Mouse) — Taber 94/199/23 –has put out the necklace WITH the earrings from last week. These are free for a week and will then eb $100. Again, on the wall directly in front of you when you enter the store.

Also today is the last day for the RED TESLA HEELS — Tesla 46/74/54!

This and That Tuesday

Naive gave out a cute pink top to the contestants in their Naive girl contest — ALL the contestants. How nice and perfect for warmer weather.

TRUTH came out with three new hairs for women and I simply LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. I’ll need to spend some time looking at colors but this might just be my new “default” hair (LOL).

And Digital Knickers gave out TWO outfits for a linden each to celebrate the FAME! This outfit was featured in Sexy Second new issue. Yeah. Shown here is the red version. It also comes in black. Be sure and check out the lucky chair there too.

Shown with ZHAO shoes. I finally got to wear them! Yeah!

Sexy Second - Woot!

I’ve been busy all day with a new project. More on that in a couple of day — heart beating fast here. Meanwhile, Sexy Second just came out and I am number 46 and ELEVEN with a full page. Woot!

So fun and this issue was very classy IMHO so very happy to be in it.

That’s number 11. Much fun!

More Sunday Deals!

This is an “in case you didn’t know already” post. No picture. Sorry. VERY long day in my world.

LF CHAI Skins in six colors: cinnamon, cream ginger, honey, nutmeg, sugar - with and without freckles are yours for joining the SubscribOMatic at the Port Seraphine shop — Port Seraphine 216/151/56. They will NOT be in the history for long, so get over there soon. The SubscribeOMatic is to the right along the outside walkway from the TP point. I see by the dots on the map as I type this that there is still a line. But the biggest rush is most likely over. They are very nicely done with photo realism. The colors are very realistic also.

A Piece of Candy — immintel 160/158/101 has new dollarbies out including two capris, one brightly colored top and a pink and white bikini. Also, there is a really nice looking black sort of “dangerous” vintage dress with lace that is new today. I think there is a new makeup of a skin also. All her things last week were very nice so I have faith (wink) that these are too. There is also a group gift of some really cute summery shoes with flowers that look a bit like icing on a cake (cute) coming out on Monday so if you want it (it will not be archived) then join the SubscribeOmatic.

Exile — Ivy Falls 163/102/27 — has some great looking hair out in the last few days. I went over there yesterday to try things out but — you guessed it — ASSET SERVER ISSUES! Alas. So I will try and get over soon.

SL Free*Style had a great article on the Gossip Girl sim with many cute free things. You can get there before “I” can - LOL
