Sparkly, Shiny, Silky, Satiny

1 Sparkly Shiny Silky Fluffy sm

Wasn’t I a happy girl to find these sparkly, shiny pendants from [ keke ] and the silky, satiny shoes from Apple May Designs waiting for me? These are just the kinds of things that send my squee-factor off the charts!

[ keke ] has released these pendants for the August round of The Forest. It has just opened today (August 11th) and runs through the 25th. This is the second month for this unique event, where you pay one flat group joining fee, then collect all of the pretties scattered through the forest. There are no surprises; you can wander around the venue to see what is offered before joining the group and picking up your items. With 21 top designers participating, it is well worth the investment. Just remember you need to rejoin the group each month. All details can be found on The Forest Event blog.

If you are one of the fortunate ones who has been able to make it into Collabor88 this month for the 5th anniversary edition, you are not only lucky but have probably seen these shoes from Apple May Designs. If you are still waiting to get in, then mark them down on your “must have” list – they are gorgeous! The texturing is divine and the bow at the ankle makes these the perfect date night heels. Perfect….did I mention that they are perfect???

Feast your eyes then scroll through the credits to find all of these sparkly, shiny, silky, satiny things I know you’ll want for your own.

Just When You Thought Your Lindens Were Safe

1 Summer Romance sm

Maybe you really did think your bank account was safe. Then the calendar turns over to the 7th, and not only does The Liaison Collaborative open, but so does a brand new event, Bon Voyage! And if you make it through those two events, the page flips to the 8th, and Collabor88 opens. Oh well, no use saving for a rainy day – go forth and spend now!

The Liaison Collaborative this month has tons of lovely things, as you can see from my hair, the lanterns, the stool, the gorgeous olive tree and my pose. Dig into my credits, and you will find all of the details on these gotta-have items. I’ve been teasing with stuff from this event, but now that it is open, you can go see for yourself.

1 Summer Sweetheart sm

Do check out my shoes from fri.day for Bon Voyage. This event, which runs for a full month (August 7 – September 7) is themed around a specific country. The inaugural round centres on Japan. Think kawaii, think adorable, think bunny-eared stockings to go with your heels! The stockings are optional so you can choose to wear the shoes alone, but with that wriggly little nose, why would you?

Even after splurging on these two events, makes sure you save a few coins for the 5th anniversary edition of Collabor88. {what next} brings you this delightful summer house, which will perk up any corner of your garden. I simply adore the bi-fold doors and the metal roof with the finials. (As an aside, did you know you could find that term by googling “pointy bits on a roof?” 😉 ) You can also pick up the potted olive trees – obviously the little brothers of the giant version from The Little Branch from TLC – with the summer house.

So, the moral of the story is…your Lindens are never safe if you stop by my blog!

Summertime Madness

1 Overdressed sm

Yep, in just a few short hours it’s that time of the month again – Midnight Madness! As usual, there are two boards with a maximum of 1500 copies to be given away for each round. The first starts at midnight tonight and the second follows at noon tomorrow. Each designer has two different items available, so if you have a chance, make sure you do the rounds twice to get all the goodies.

Of course, I ended up being overdressed for the summer party in my Lana dress from Salt & Pepper, but a few more of these frothy drinks and I won’t care! This short styled dress is the noon prize from S&P, but the actual free gift is the same dress in purple. I’m wearing this lovely peach ombre tone that is available in an optional HUD that gives you four additional choices. A total bargain at 50L! You can grab it at the same time you slap the noon board. The midnight gift is a long version of the same dress in teal and also has an optional HUD for purchase. These dresses are exclusive for the event and will be retired when it finishes, so don’t miss out.

But wait, there’s more!
