You Might Say I'm a Dreamer...

Arcade time is once again upon us, you know, that one time a year that everyone on the grid pretty much craps their pants, and empties out their bank account because you just have to have that one rare that the machine won't give you. I mean.. this sounds pretty much about right, right? I know it's almost the case for me. I mean, my name is Sash Arabello, and I'm an arcade gatcha addict. Welp!

This round marks the one year anniversary of the Arcade, and everything is just so amazing, and awesome! I'm extremely excited to see Lark in the round up, Sienia is so talented, she truly deserves to be in there! And then you have the cuteness my MishMish, like.. I know I already blogged it, but it's so cute I don't even care. And what about that rare by Alouette? and let's not even talk about the mess that was TeeFy. I think I sold my soul to that machine. But.. over all, I couldn't be more excited for this round, so beautiful and amazing, like.. I'm speechless. So if you haven't gone.. make sure to keep trying! And maybe even try the yard sales while you wait to get in, I assure you.. with this amazing round, you won't be disappointed. THere's going to be way more to come, but this is just a sneak peek at a set that I'm currently working on. Enjoy being swept by my magical dream!

I Put a Spell on You

So.. I don't know what's going on with Disneybound, but.. like.. I know that this week is Rapunzel, Tangled. I'll be honest, I like the songs. I like the mom, I didn't care much for the actual movie. I'm going to be murdered again. But.. there was a little hidden gem in Fameshed this round.. a dress by Eclectic, and even though it's not Disneybound, and I thought about maybe saving this look for it.. I can't contain it. I adore Maleficent, and when it's time again to do her, if they add her to the list, well, I'm going to do her again. But.. I just adore her, okay? Don't judge me. This dress by Eclectic totally screamed out to me, I saw the staff, I saw the evil look in the eyes, and I was like.. if Maleficent was in modern day earth.. that's so what she would have worn. So... here it is.. I based a whole look around this outfit. I thought about doing it without a staff, but.. it just wasn't the same, so I was lucky enough to find an unscripted freebie at the market place, and the detail of it was just.. perfect. So.. I used ti to tie out the whole look together and bring the vision of Maleficent to SL, modern style, and with the class she deserves. Anyways, I hope you guys like it, I'm working on a couple big posts, and also been kind of feeling sick some, so I've been kind of slow with the posts, but I apologize, but I swear there are some biggies to come! Rest assured. I plan on at least one other home blog this week ish, or next, a skin blog, and more fun stuff to come.

Hair Fair Pt. II

I did warn that I got a lot of hair, right? I think so... well, more hair fair!

Hair Fair.. honestly one of the biggest events of the year. I get so giddy when I see it come about. And I still have more hair. Really, this is only part II and I'm not even blogging all the goodies I got, only my favorite styles that I found. I'm still irked because I keep hearing people say that it wasn't good. Like.. I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yet at the same time, I have those friends ask me where I got the hair I'm wearing. I'm just all like.. Err... well... Hair fair, it's magical. I have lost count of how many times I've sent people packing to hair fair, like.. come on guys! Walk through it! There's soooo many new names just.. It makes me sad to see that you're not taking the full advantage, and discovering! There's so much more to hair than Exile, and Wasabi Pills, and Lelutka, and Truth. 

Now, don't get me wrong. I love those stores guys, prove is here, all three releases of Lelutka are in my favorites' list, but.. I guess I just tried to go out of my comfort zone and see what else there was. Like.. Baiatice and Auxiliary being in the line up. Ummm... Excuse me! Since when? And I'm not saying this is a bad manner, far from it, they're two of my favoirte stores, so... if anything I just got really excited. And they didn't disappoint me! Far from it, I was excited to see what they came out with. I know that Auxiliary has dabbled in hair before, just never seen something like this. And the Baiatice hair, well, that's for sure worth a second look. Then you have Alice Project. A lot of the times, her hair doesn't really fit my style, and it took me forever to color my hair because I bought the Create Your Own instead of Infinity, and tried using my infinity HUD on it. Well. Woops. These two hair styles though left me drooling. Alice really outdid herself for hair fair. 

Lelutka, dear God. Lelutka can't ever do wrong in my eyes when it comes to hair, and one of them had a fades pack, I literally just threw my hands up in the hair and said good bye to my money, and bought. Loved. Eaters Coma also had a really nice release. They're not a huge name in  hair yet, but I think they should be, a lot of their releases are just so cute, I totally love. And Last but not least, Clawtooth. I'm a huge Clawtooth fan, and I've blogged a couple of the Hair Fair looks as well, So.. yup! That's rounds off Part Two of Hair Fair. Stay tuned for the second part. After I really get some sleep. All this editing is making me die. A little. Each day. Kidding, but! I hope you enjoyed this, and it opened your eyes up to some more amazing hairs that you can find at Hair Fair. Don't forget, part of your purchase goes to helping Wigs for Kids! So each Hair that you buy helps make a difference in a child's life that is battling with cancer. I can't even begin to say how much this organization means to be, so be generous! And chop to your heart's delight. Sash out!

Mamma, I'm Coming Home

I've never done a backshot, so.. why the hell not? These leggings are so cute in the back that I just had to do them. Thanks for them, Jim, you did an amazing job at them! Totally love them! And in all honesty, I completely made the whole outfit around these leggings.

So.. today's mother's day, and even though out of personal reasons I don't celebrate it, I still decided to do something in mind with it.. and well, the only thing that came to mind was Ozzy's 'Mamma, I'm coming home'. Also.. the pose using today is from Hopscotch, and only available at a discount today.. DON'T MISS OUT! In all honesty, I'm getting rather lame with these descriptions, and rants.. so.. without further ado, enjoy the credits!

I might not sing the body electric, but I sure do shop the body electric.

Too cheesy? Oh well, but it's true, I adore shopping, and finding new things.. and right now there's an amazing skin out by WoW Skins, Isabella. It comes on a full avatar set with an outfit and everything, but me... personally, I totally just used it for the skin. Sue me :P.

Also saddens me to say that there's a closing sale at Nani's poses.. Yes, it's terrible news, however, on the other hand, cheap poses for all. The sale only lasts until the 18th! Which is tomorrow! So hurry up and grab it all before it shuts down, nothing is over 50L.

Also, no secret that I love Auxiliary. Now, with me having been gone for so long.. or at least it feels like forever for me, I didn't get a chance to go to TDR to get their cheapie from there. Adorable little cocktail dress that makes me go "ohhh oh oh oh!" Comes in pink and blue, and it's too adorable Not to own.

Finally! Burley is one of the best stores for hair in my opinion, and right now they came up with a clever way of dividing up the store. Burley will be known as Taketomi, and they are already open with some of the best hairs ever, totally what you would expect from Burley's makers. Then they're going to have a man's fashion in a store called Gavi, which will be all high fashion, which is right now very much needed in sl, and then there's going to be Collective, which will have women's and men's vintage urban/modern fashion. I'm so stoked! Taketomi is already opened, as I said, and I'm totally in love with the hairstyle in these pictures, Maggie.

Going for a week in sl is like going for a year, you miss out on so much crap! ARGH!

Fly Me to the Moon

Oh, and let me play among the stars....

So, I know you guys have probably heard of a little store called celoe? I know I have.. I love that store.. so many pretties! @.@ At any rate! Celoe has finally come out with a new release, and I swear to God, I went broke in that store.. I spent around 3k? Total? And so worth it @.@. My husband is going to kill me.. but.. what doesn't know, doesn't hurt, right? Let's keep with that believe, shall we?

So, their release is all about style with class, beautiful dresses, coats, and everything.. just.. amazing, mindblowing stuff. They have this classy gown like dress that I'll blog about later.. and.. this amazing coat dress, and the coat, and the little corset top, and the pants...

I'm out of breath. Did I mention I love their new collection?

It takes a lot to get me this excited, but Celoe newness.. that totally does it! Keep them coming please!!!!

Sunday Nights with Grace

And we close out the weekend with another dear friend of mine, Grace. Too bad, so sad, the weekend ends, and we all go back to work.

Except for me. I don't work, so I'll sit here and point at you as you get ready to go to work tomorrow. Hahahaha.

Ok, enough meaness, and on to goodness, right? Right. We'll close out with the Attic this weekend. Normally I just catch a glimpse of it in Seraphim.. and nothing catches my interest, but this week.. well, Exile was there, and as you all know, I'm a total hair freak. And Baiastice was there too! And Piddle.. and Teefy, so I got off of my lazy av bum and went to check it out. The results are on my av! Check it out! My Attic

The Secret Store. Shhh.

Ok, so one of my all time favorite stores in sl for quite a while has been The Secret Store. Maylee Oh is extremely talented, specially now that her items have.. Oh, God, dare I say it? Mesh. Yes, I'm a total mesh whore and I'm not afraid to say it. I believe mesh is the best thing to happen in sl in all of the six years or so that I've been in it.

Anyways, if you haven't checked out The Secret Store, you have to! There's a new release out now, a small babydoll that is extremely cute and totally vintage. They have also the oversized sweater that I blogged about earlier still for 75L, so if you haven't grabbed it. GO! Go before she realizes she left it out and takes it down. There's also a new mini that came out a while ago.. and the vintage slip dress.. To die for! So here are a couple looks that I pieced together with her work. Again, if you haven't gone to The Secret Store.. GO NAO.

More Goodies from Cinema

I keep flipping through my inventory trying to come up with looks that haven't been shown from the cinema that make for a good style. So.. I made this one!

Normally, I'm a sucker for vintage, I'll be the first one to say that.. but the shirt is so stylish.. cute, and simple, that makes for an excellent look with some pumps and some jeans to go with it. Or, you could be the.. daring type.. and go without pants. It's long enough to cover your hooha and your butt, more than some of the dresses out there in sl.. Just.. I suppose I'm too conservative in my sl. Shirt is from [KAMOURASKA], a new store I found through the cinema event, and I'm totally in love with it, from the shown shoulders to the little ties.. just really adorable.

Cinema- A la Noir.

So, I finally went to the Cinema, which is a pretty cool fair going on.. and for sure worth spending the time to check out. They have clothes, for both men and women, furniture, and poses. Whatever you might need, they got it! And they have it in a variety of themes. From horror, to XXX, to romance and fantasy, so there's really something for everyone. Kind of like the Vintage fair, but.. more for everyone.

So, I checked it out.. and I really did fall in love with this little number from Indrya Designs. Normally there's not much that she has that I care for.. but seriously, the mini skirt, with the see through, it's to die for. And Biastice has the most adorable shoes ever! Ok, I might have spent over 10k Linden in that fair.. and not only that.. I spent about four hours this morning walking around. But it was totally worth it.

Also.. did you know truth has new hair out? Normally I was anti truth. Too many hairstyles that looked exactly the same as they did years ago. But they're stepping up their game, and their new mesh styles.. I hold my breath until I get the next notice out for new hair.
