"Going out to the beach with friends" is this weeks theme for the Reine du Shopping contest at Flickr. A nice theme to ask assistance from Laura. Because the look on the poster was stylish we don't wear bikinis but outfits for the sun. Laura showed me first, when i asked her to join, a more sexy bikini  from Bella Moda, the new group gift. Called the Egyptian bikini or L'Egiziana. A bit to sexy for the contest picture. But go there and have a look at Bella Moda or ....read the blogpost till the end and have a look.
Nic is wearing a release from ::UNA:: at the Vanity fair. Comes in five separate colors. In the fatpack are more colors.
Nic is wearing new earrings from !IT! for Designer Circle round 182.  Many huds available. Nic's hair is a good one for sea and beach. A bit loose and behind a tail. The rattan bag is from nani from a gacha. Sunglasses from Mon Chéri also from a gacha. Shoes  from Essenz.

Laura is also wearing loose beach hair. It is an old group gift from Fabia. This one isn't available any more but Fabia has SOME hairs which are similar, such as Rita, Brenda or Joan. Laura is wearing a group gift from Sauvage. You get the set with two textures (glitter and solid in aqua). Laura uses them both. The shoes from Laura are a group gift at Mosquito's Way. I hope you like our style for the "going out to the beach" contest

What Laura didn't know is, that Nic later on tried the Egyptian, L'Egiziana, bikini. And that she couldn't withstand to make a picture from Nic in that sexy bikini, while she was sneaking in a fitting room on the Brighton pier.

She is cute the little Shihuahua. But i think Nic is also looking cute in her bare back romper from MOoH! The romper is one of the presents at the Beached Bunny Hunt. The other presents are the shell earrings from !IT!. Search the blue sand bucket in the shops. More info about the hunt is here.

every day it will rain, rain, rain...

Wow i won the second prize in a photo challenge from the We Love To Blog group. I am flattered. The theme was autumn. This is my winning picture. The new theme is november rain. Well if something is more appropriate at the moment, then it's that theme now. Rain, rain and again rain in rl at the moment in the midst of november. I went for picture making to a sim where i could expect rain ( Gale Storm Retreat). The beach was as empty like a rainy beach has to be. Rain was falling and lightning shadows in the clouds. Nic was looking for an umbrella to sit and watch the waves in a contemplative mood.
But then a friend, a very good friend from Laura, suddenly appeared near me on the beach searching for nice beaches for his "walking together hud". I described that hud here some time ago. So Nic's moment on the beach was not such a sad contemplative one. Nic was also enjoying her new clothes, jewelry and more.

On the first pictures Nic is wearing a nice top with a see-through part, a new release from Arcane Spellcaster. She is wearing it on leather pants from Shey from her inventory. If you don't want spend much for a black leather pants then go to Ricielli and search between all the old hunt gifts. Nic is wearing jewelry from Hudson's, the My Pearls Black Jewel Set ( new) and the My Pearls Black Bangle set with a Bento ring ( sale prize 59ld!). In the jewelry set is also a necklace with a key. The Cat's Meow headphones are a new released exclusive from !IT! at the Twe12ve november round. Many huds available.
The hairs are again ( see post before this one)  from the HairOlogy Event. From [RA] Run Away Hair and from *TKW* Tukinowaguma. The heels are a present from Shoenique Designs at the 68 Main Event.
The neckholder(a one-piece) is a groupgift at [NyDesign]. Comes with a hud for several colors for the top and the pants. I like the silky glow of the top very much. There are more group gifts and also lucky boards in the shop.

or may be this one

he came... (Hair Fair july 2017)

It was worth the time waiting.... he came. Her lovely loose hair he wanted in a braid when they laid on the hammock.
The hair fair is running since yesterday the first of july and will close at 11.59 pm SLT 16th July. I hope you will have time enough to look around there. It surprised me how easy i could enter. So Nic can show you her new hairstyles. The first one is from (red)Mint, the well-know designer from a bit extravagant hair. I love this one. The hair is animated so you see it move softly as if the wind is blowing it away a bit. Beautiful!  You get it in yellow as a gift. The hair with the braided ponytail is a gift from Tukinuwaguma. I also got the present at Exile. Exile gives a male and female hair. I tried both on Nic and even the male hair i liked. May be i will use them in other posts. As promised in the post before this one Nic is showing you a modern styled dress from the Japonica event from Salt&Pepper. The belt and the color of the flowers are changeable with a hud. The dress you can buy in several colors. Difficult to decide which one i should choose.

Feng Shui

Feng Shui literally means "wind and water". Qui (breath/ life power/vital energy)  floats on the wind (feng) and spreads, but remains where it encounters the water (shui). Qui is  a sort of metafysical energy that keeps us alive.
May be it isn't a coincidence that this theme is in my brain. I am back home earlier from vacation because of personal circumstances that has something to do with life and death.
Nic is showing you items from the gacha from Pixel Mode at The Arcade ( started the first of June). with the name Anahata. Anahata means unbroken, unblemished. Anahata is near the heart and is the center of man and is seen as the connection between the lower three chakras of the instincts with the top three chakras of the higher human consciousness.
You can see on the pictures beautiful basket chairs with indian patterns on the cushions, ottomans, a side table, floor candles, magazin clutter, incence and incence storage and a singing bowl.
Nic is wearing a nice dress from monaLISA. Love the two layers of the dress. You get the dress with a hud with many colors.The tattoo ( groupgift)and the pose (lucky board) are from NanikA. The bag is a groupgift from Alb Dream Fashion. The joy necklace is a gift from GDit for Color me Project. Love the special hair from Nic. It gives her an artistic sophisticated look, fitting well with her  high platform sandals ( Fifty Linden Friday item) from Reign.

take a look at me now

A sexy dress and a fur wrapped around her arms. Isn't she sexy. Take a look at her now. You see her stockings where the dress is a bit higher at the side. The dress i got some time ago at X*plosion. They sended out a message about a new release. When you went over quick  some could get this full perm boinka sequin dress. The dress fits with the boinka boobs from that shop. I show below the backside. There is a handbook in the shop with information about the girl power fitted mesh boinka boobs.

There was another blogger making pictures at Timeless Memories. I took some pictures of her. And i got permission of her to place her on my blog. Thanks Fabian Queen. I loved the leather dress that she was wearing and i used her manticore kitten on a picture with Nic.
Below also a close-up from the shoes from this round of the Cosmopolitan Sales Room.

The Frozzen Fair ( part 1)

I add this coat from Nic to  my serie of fur coats. It is the  houndstooth coat with a fur collar and fur armparts from Arisaris. Nic wears spectacles form SB. The Minion specs. I recolored them to match the coat, but they are in the colors of the super cute minions.Yellow and blue.
The male is Anda. He is one of my friends from Tirol. He told me he wanted to be a model on my blog. So yesterday evening, when i saw what he weared, i realised it would be a good match with Nic's coat. But today i discovered he weared an old gift from Innuendo. Stupid  me... i didn't ask. And now i remember that i blogged the coat last year. But in the Innuendo shop you can get two  groupgifts and a gift from the  POE  hunt.
Nic's coat is from The Frosen Fair. You also can find white booties there.  I totally got overwhelmed because of all the presents you can get at The Frosen Fair. In the next posts, i will  show some cute findings from that Fair.
