Shoe Fair Finds Day 2 – Periquita

Gabby Panacek — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:20:43 +0000

I love shoes from Periquita, they always have a touch of whimsy. And what is Shoe Fair if not a chance to buy whimsical footwear for a good cause, right?

The Silly Wedges take the simple wedge that is so on-trend for this season and curves the heel, carves it out and fills it with beads. And, like all shoes from Periquita, they are ridiculously well priced and have a color change HUD. You can change both the texture (lots of colors, both striped and solids) and the bead color…or you can take the beads out altogether. The possibilities are endless!

Visit Periquita at the Shoe Fair on the Osmium Sim!

I’m My Own Dance

Gabby Panacek — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:46:16 +0000

New Hair + New Poses = Happy Gabby
LeLutka recently released some all new hairstyles and, like pretty much everything that comes from the LeLutka team, they are both gorgeous and well made. The new textures seem to have a lot of shine and there are dozens of color options available.

I went on a shopping spree at Dare and picked up some fantastic new poses and…hello, Bonus! Each of the four new “Single Ladies” sets includes a bodysuit by !Ohmai. I have no idea if I have the right bodysuit with the right pose or not, because I just sort of threw them all in a posestand and started playing. Sorry!

Happy Wednesday!

Gloves: Royal Blue Punch The Jester (Designers United Exclusive, No Longer Available) and Addict Doubs Gloves

Aria Pompadour

Gabby Panacek — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:54:26 +0000

One of Eshi Otawara’s latest releases, Aria Pompadour is a whirlwind of tulle and silk. Hand-painted layers and meticulously-sculpted prims combine to create five (at least) different looks, including the full gown shown here.

Visit Eshi Otawara to see all of the designs…each more fantastic than the last.

WoE .: Main Store as part of the Addiction Hunt. Oh, and they are packaged with this little Trinity Ribbed Tank…not bad for a few minutes of hunting, right?

Kissyface – MUA2.0

Gabby Panacek — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 02:35:18 +0000

Babyhoney Bailey has, in just the last few days, released her new skin line at Djinn & Tonic, MUA2.0. There are five skin tones and twenty makeup choices available.

Babyhoney’s makeup choices range from fresh and subtle to bold and daring, however, they all (with only one exception, really) feature really strong eyes. I love that!

Here are two of the twenty makeup options, Babette and Sofia, shown in the Beach skin tone. And, for fun, there are three versions of the Ouch skin, the one on the right is Ouch II.

Go pick out your favorites!

Also Wearing:
Hair – Fri.Day

Bend Me, Shape Me, Anyway You Want Me

Gabby Panacek — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:05:07 +0000

I love poses. Really I do. And today, I love the new poses from Glamouramama Boa’s Just A Pose shop in the new Bloom shopping area.

When I saw the package from Glam drop into my offlines, I couldn’t wait to get home and try them. Glam has a quirky, sometimes kinky, always infectious sense of humor and personal style. I just knew the poses would reflect her personality. And, they do! Glam told me today that she is really inspired by the feedback she is receiving, so expect some more poses very soon!

Yesterday was my third rez day and Codie surprised me with a party! This is the outfit that I put together for an evening of good music, friends and fun! Thanks to everyone who came and sent kind words. I <3 you all!

Style Notes (SLURLS):
Dress: LeLutka – Blazin
Shoes: LeLutka – Pow Print Pumps
Earrings: Exodi – Annah v2
Rings: alaMood – Bandara and Sweet Stacked Pink Burst
Skin: LeLutka – Lola
Hair: Lamb – Ghost
Headpiece: Canimal – Skellyflies
Eyes: Eye Gears – A gift from Crap Mariner

MichaMi’s latest release of separates, the Nina Capris, Crop Top and Mesh Tank, comes in eight coordinated, easy-to-mix colors. I chose to pair the cool aqua Crop Top with the black Capris. I love the sheer cut out pieces and the edgy details of the top. Visit the MichaMi blog for more photos and to keep up on all the latest releases from Milla Michinaga.

Toss in the new Aequus shoes from Maitreya Gold and this outfit is perfect for a night of clubbing.

Surfside Solitude

Gabby Panacek — Sun, 30 May 2010 20:37:21 +0000

I often refer to Plurk as “the news”. As in, “Sorry I was AFK, I had to read the news.” I can always count on my plurk friends to keep me abreast of new releases, great locations for taking photos and can’t-miss sales. This post is testament to that.

Katey Coppola plurked this morning to remind us that the HUGE sale at Nayar ends June 1st. You might choose to pick up one of these adorable Katey Kinis. I’m sort of partial to red, so the Ladybug version is my favorite. For the sunglasses, I turned to Strawberry Singh, who had recently plurked her post about Mojoti Eyewear. These are really well made and there are a ton of options! So, bikini? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Now, where to shoot? I plurked a request for beachy sims and Myndi Meredith suggested Sol Mananero. And WOW! What a gorgeous setting. You can expect to see lots of beachy photos from me for a while, I plan to camp here for the summer.

Here’s some info on the sale at Nayar…Don’t miss it! And click the poster for more information about the Nayar/Glitterati Photo Contest!

Style Notes:
Bikini – Nayar Katey Kini in Ladybug
Sunglasses – Mojoti Luxury Eyewear‘s Foxy
Earrings – Earthtones Chakra Hoops in Black/Gold
Bracelet – alaMood Everyday Multi Bangles

Feet – SLink Jolie Pied Barefeet Medium
