From now on just call me Butta Liarpants because guess what? I bought the January Luxebox . Yes I said I wasn't going to, but hear me out. I really wanted to see what would happen with the changes that the Luxebox team made for 2018. The big changes for this year are dropping the number of designers down to eight and dropping the price to just 1000 L$ per month. So? Did they really listen, did they do enough. Will the new year bring a renewed "Luxe" to this aging subscr

Sami's Review: January - Luxe Box: Ariskea, Ison, Lamb & Rowne

I know I know...I said I wasn't going to buy this months Luxe Box!!  Look, I'm a female and I reserve the right to change my mind, however many times I feel like it mmmmk?! lol  In all seriousness, yes, mine and Butta's plan was to not  purchase this months box.  However, we saw that there were some fairly big changes this round, so we wanted to give it another chance and see how well the changes work out.  What changes?  Well for starters, at least for this round, they removed a designer or two (who shall remain nameless) that was producing well below par items for it's subscribers.  Big plus there!  They also limited the amount of the items in the box, down to just 8 items instead of 12.  Perhaps with a smaller panel of designers, the quality and variety of items will be better and make us happy?  They also lowered the price from L$1500 to just L$1000, which is only fair since you are getting 4 less items now.  So, way to go Luxe Box!  They clearly are listening to

F is for Friday (Sales)!!!

Yes, I made another naughty picture that needs to be censored!  So sue me! lol  I've been in SL for a little over 8 years now, and there's one thing I've been doing religiously since I was just a wee avatar in all of my newbie sexiness..and that's doing the Fifty Linden Friday (FLF) list.  I bet you thought I was going to say visiting nude beaches, didn't you? :P Unless you live under a rock in SL or never shop, like...ever!  Then you know what FLF is.  It's become mine and Butta's Friday "thing".  Even if I work the night before or whatever, she waits for me to do the list.  We get really sad if we can't do it together.  Seriously!  Awwww right?  Some weeks are better than others of course.  We may not buy anything at all, or we might buy all  da stuffs!  This week was a really really  great week.  I know that it's no longer Friday now that I'm posting this (thanks work & being sick!), but have no fear!  I think a lot of st

The perfect winter outfit? Top and Skirt - Zoe Top & Skirt in Aqua - Elegance Boutique for Cosmopolitan Boots - Diva Boots - The Forge Fur Vest - Gloss Lingerie Outfit - Moon Elixer Clutch - Valentina Clutch - Belle Epoque Challenge Gift Hair - Emika Hair - Doe Backdrop - Pretty in Pastel - Foxcity Snowflakes - Floating Snow Photo Set - Persefona Perhaps this outfit wasn't the best for as snowy and cold as the scene turned out, but oh well. It never quite feels cold in Second Life. Today's post pulls in items from a number of stores and events around the grid, centered on the outfit from Elegance Boutique. Zoe Top and Skirt  - Elegance Boutique is still a pretty new store to me. I have often passed them up at events but recently been taking a closer look. This outfit at the current round of Cosmopolitan caught my eye. We see a lot of cage style tops on outfits, but often that is all there is. This outfit adds a ruffle on top, lets call it a

Stars and Dots Top  - Chain Star Top - Elegance Boutique  @ Hello Tuesday Shorts - Ela Shorts - Blueberry Boots - Liza Boots - Justice  @ Gacha Guardians Hair - Fray v1 - Doe  @ Gacha Guardians Blindold - Premium Blindfold - Virtual Disgrace Backdrop - Wall Pose - Artis Poses After this weekends long write up on Luxebox I wanted to do something a little bit more straight forward. I was looking through the Hello Tuesday listings this morning and saw this top from Elegance Boutique. I can hardly resist being a star and at only 99L$ I popped over to grab it. The top is available in 4 different colors, I got black, and comes in all the normal mesh body sizes. The top has a HUD that changes the metal to one of five colors. The fit is perfect despite the sparse covering on the Lara size. My hair is also new, surprising I know to hear its from Doe. This is the Fray hair from her gacha at the January round of Gacha Guardians. There is a second version as well with a beanie. Th

Sami's December Luxebox Review: Part 2 - Rowne, GoS, Vision

Since I got to write the review over the worst item in Luxebox this month, I think it's only fair that I get to write the review over the best items from the box this month, don't you? lol  So here is my part 2 of the Luxebox review for the month of December, and inside you will find: GoS, Rowne and Vision.  This will probably be the last review of Luxebox I do for a little while, so at least I'm going to end it on a good note, with some really nice things! Dress:   Rowne - Kate Velvet Dress Omg I looooooooove this dress!!!  It's not overly fancy, doesn't have a lot of frills or bells and whistles to it, but it's still a very sexy, very  well done dress.  It comes in sizes for: Freya, Isis, Hourglass and Maitreya.  The fit is absolutely perfect!  It hugs all the right curves, doesn't gap, doesn't break.  Seriously, it's awesome!  Only thing you'll have to do probably is alpha out your nipples, because they will poke through the dress b
