Beach Bum

Beach Bum

Hey guys! Can you believe that I’m blogging again today? I know, I can’t either! There is just so much new and fun things to share with you!

Today, I’m bringing you a fun summer beachy look, perfect for hanging out at virtual beaches. The dress I’m wearing is from Fashionably Dead for this months Collabor88. Collab this round was so much fun and I was totally excited when I saw this dress. It’s so simple and I love that it isn’t strictly 90′s, you could still wear it in 2013 and still be fashionable. Go, run to Collabor88 and see all the 90′s goodies!

How cute is my little beach buddy!? Mini Dunneh from Mish Mish is absolutely adorable. I’ve been so excited everytime I see Mish Mish is going to be in event. I’ve taken to collecting their holdables, much to my friends’ dismay, seeing as how I tend to hoard holdable things. Mini Dunneh also comes in a larger size that’s filled with different poses for either just yourself or a group of friends! You can get this cutie at the Summerfest event!

Ride

Ride

Hey guys! Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend! Mine was pretty stressful, not going to lie but I’m looking forward to the new week!

I was really excited when The Secret Store dropped this cute peplum shirt into my inventory. I absolutely adore anything that has a peplum. The shirt is adorable and short sleeved for the summer! It comes in so many colors and a few patterns, they even have either a black or white collar option. The little bow belt on it is color changeable the only thing is, is that to change the color of the belt, you must rez out the shirt then click on it to bring up the color change menu. It’s such a lovely shirt and always love and look forward to The Secret Store’s new releases! You can find the shirt at The Secret Store Mainstore!

I also wanted to talk about my lovely accessories. My sunglasses are made by the lovely Natalee Oodles of Noodles. I adore these glasses with the pearls up on the top half of the glasses and little color change roses on the side. They are very chic and summery. You can find these bad boys at Summerfest! So, I’ve had this clutch in my inventory for a few months and I’ve never gotten around to blogging it. I don’t know why I haven’t blogged it yet because it has to be one of my favotite clutches and Lord knows I have a bunch! I love that it looks like a painting palette and really speaks to the artsy side of me. It’s from Handverk so if you, like me, need a cute and creative clutch, this is a must have!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

SL DISNEYBOUND - VANELLOPE ; ONE

First I want to announce some exciting news! Style Minions is now going to be a part of Style Academy! One of my favorite SL feeds full of talented bloggers, photographers and creators! Check out Style Academy yourself at slstyleacademy.com/

Now onto DisneyBound! So I was having trouble picking someone for this week. There was someone I REALLY wanted to do but Sash talked me out of it to save it for next week! It will be better next week and once I announce next weeks character you will understand why! So here we are, week fourteen! I can’t believe how far this challenge has made it already and I’m so excited a bunch of you are still here with me doing it! There’s nothing I love more then going through all your blogs and reading and seeing how you guys interpret the character week after week! It’s also nice to know that I’m not the only one with a crazy Disney obsession lol.

So here we have it, Week Fourteen, Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck it Ralph! This movie, if you haven’t seen it already is a MUST SEE. It’s probably on my top ten favorite disney movies of all time that’s how much I love it. The storyline, the nostalgia feeling of all the old video games coming together with new games and really the characters are just so lovable I never get sick of watching it over and over again. Vanellope is one of my favorite characters and I’m really excited to finally bring her to DisneyBound. This outfit was actually a huge challenge for me but I think I finally managed to put it together.

What really excited me about this was being able to use the Fairy Tale Bow I made for this outfit! I’m sure if you shop my store or The Arcade you may have seen my fairy tale bows gacha and a mystery prize, well it’s finally available to see, the mystery bow, The Glitch! Styled after Vanellope To try to win this bow you can check out The Arcade and try your luck at the gacha! Also available at the arcade are these super cute Soap Box cars from Boogers! They come in Big and Little sizes and a ton of fun prints! Lucky for my DisneyBound there is a cake soap box which is my favorite and is perfect for my racer Vanellope and Sugar Rush!

I hope you like this week! I can’t wait to see how you all pull of your looks!

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Smells Like Teen Spirit

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited Jim and I were for this theme of collab! We are huge 90s people since, well of course, it was our childhood! The items the designers put out this round are nothing short of amazing, if you grew up in the 90s so many memories are about to be brought back!

I know Jim and I usually don’t blog much furniture but we were talking this round and we really want to incorporate more of it! So we’re going to start with this blog, and you will see why! Pilot, who never fails to impress really outdid himself this round of collabor88 with the inflatable chairs and tables and how could I forget POGS! (Well.. Pobs in world.) Kaz has an insane attention to detail when modeling that you have to appreciate and you will see them on close inspection of these inflatable items! What’s super awesome about the Pobs? Two of them feature artwork from StyleMinions very own, Jim (Celeste Forwzy)! Be sure to check them out!

Smells Like Teen Spirit Furniture ; TWO

Floorplan. struck some really awesome memories of Clarissa Explains it all by creating a futon inspired from Clarissa’s room! This futon has some single, friends and couple poses and is too cute for words. She also created some tables and super cute peace sign wall art. Alouette’s item made me die with laughter from the creativity of their entertainment center. Upon close inspection you’ll see some CDs and DVDs with the titles ‘N’Sink’, ‘Christina Alligator’ and ’97 Degrees’ to mention a few. It comes in various colors and will now be the perfection addition to my living room of my house.

Barnesworth Anubis has been on a roll lately with skyboxes for Collabor88 and it’s hard to just keep one skybox! I’ll be doing a blog of a fully decorated out skybox later but this skybox is absolutely beautiful with a second floor loft style and huge windows! Be sure to check out the demo in world at the event!

Yummy, OkkBye, Boom and Maxi Gossamer have some great nostalgic accessories this round from Peace Signs to Ying Yangs and so many other things! I love the vibrant color palette of this round. Be sure to check out the items for yourself at Collabor88 for the month of June!

I need your love...

ColdLogic has been on top of things this summer with gorgeous new releases one after another! I’m super excited about this release and all the beautiful dresses! My favorite of them is the daines dress in iris tone shown here! I love the asymmetrical dress hem and the fact that it’s rigged so beautifully. The two tone colors really just eat me up, I’m such a sucker for ombre.

Magika also released this super cute hair today called Bliss. I love Magika’s hair and their huds. At such an awesome price for so many colors with the hud! Magika really offers such an amazing deal for such high quality hair. If you haven’t already you should check out Magika here.

Well that’s all for now! See you soon!

Burn, Baby, Burn

by Celeste Forwzy on June 4, 2013

Burn, Baby, Burn

Hey guys! So, have you all been to The Arcade yet!? Collected all of your favorites from this round? You only have till the end of this month! Anywho, today I’m bringing you some more of my favorite things from this round!

Let me start off this post with the all famous “Burn Book.” If you guys haven’t seen the movie Mean Girls (I mean really, who hasn’t?) then you probably won’t understand this item from Commoner. When I saw this little jem, I HAD to have it. The Commoner machine is only $L50 a play, so if you are a fan of the Mean Girls movie, like myself and so many others, try your luck at snatching up this rare photo album!

So, as you may know, Noodles had two gatcha machines this round and didn’t disappoint with either of them. I’m wearing another one of her bows, this one is called “Spoiled Stepsister.” I thought it matched the all around feel of this picture perfectly. I’m also wearing the new Fairy Tale Charm Bracelet also courtesy of Noodles. I’m loving it just as much as last rounds charm bracelet! The deatil in each little charm is quite beautiful, especially the Enchanted Rose. Try your luck and collect all 20 (with 4 rare) charms at $L50 a play!

Ok so, honestly, who didn’t squeal with delight when they saw !Ohmai’s Teacup Piglets? How friggin’ cute, right? I love every single one of them. I’ve pictured the Princess piglet and her teacup for this blog. I thought it was genius how she made them mod so you could remove the piglet from the teacup! They are nearly a steal at $L50 a play!

Again, I’ve placed so much more from the Arcade in the background and will credit down below! So much Arcade for this little post!

SL DISNEYBOUND - MR. SMEE ; ONE

I’m SO sorry about this post being so late! The Arcade slowly killed me but it’s done and over with and now I can get back to posting full time! For DisneyBound this week I present to you one of my favorite villain sidekicks, Mr Smee! I didn’t have time to do a fancy picture this week but I will probably edit one later when I have more time!

I had a lot of fun creating this look and I’ve been sitting on it for some weeks to get away from Peter Pan who was our first week! I just couldn’t wait any longer! So find your best Smee looks and show them off! I can’t wait to see what all of you come up with!

Heat Wave

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of blogs lately! I’ve been super busy helping with The Arcade, which is just around the corner! Are you guys excited! There are a lot of must haves this round! I’ve spent PLENTY of lindens already! I’ve decided to blog SOME of my favorites, couldn’t fit them all into this picture!

I’m wearing the super cute bikini top from Paperdoll. It’s almost a steal at 50L per play and you get all the sizes! Super generous! There are 10 to win, 3 of them being rare. It’s the perfect bathing suit to start the summer off! I paired it with the shorts from Emery who is a newbie in this rounds Arcade. They did not disappoint! Emery’s machine is 75L a play with 16 to win and that includes shirts and shorts! Let’s not forget my awesome accessories! Noodles made some awesome Disneyesque hair ribbons/heandbands/bow ties. They are seriously adorable and you will want to collect all of them, trust me!They are 50L a play with 21 to win with 5 rares, one being a mystery rare! Last but not least, my bracelet. It’s from Baiastice and let me tell you, I hit that machine sooo many times but have yet to get the rare that I really really must have! The machine is 75L to play with 18 to win, 4 being rare. I’ve also placed other various Arcade favorites in the picture and will credit below! So much Arcade for one post!

Get ready to kiss those lindens goodbye! The Arcade opens June 1st!
