Weekly Closet Update: Monochrome Maiden

This week's update is very unique. The dress is very pretty (though I would have preferred a different color), the ring is cute and the shoes are something I would buy for my other boutique (The Bat Cave). Overall, I thought this was a good new addition to our catalog.

Of course, then I look at the price of the closet items. All the items (except the sunglasses) cost a lot of gems, and I don't really like the sunglasses. In other words the only thing I would change is the price. 

In my example, I showed what I would do if I could buy the items. I added a few accessories. . .

Overall, better than the last few missteps but it still needs a little work. ~ Sky's Limit

Weekly Update: Music Festival

First thought: A bikini top again!

Second thought: the purse looks ok.

Then I looked at the prices. All of these cost gems in the closet. 

I'm disappointed Team Lava. ~ Sky's Limit

Results for July Round 2: a Cave Tour at Wind Cave National Park

Everyone did a great job this round! I am sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I am still in the middle of moving and have had very little time to do more than eat, sleep and unpack. Thank you for your patience! 

#1. Style N Fit-8/10-minus 1 LM-3rd

#2. moynistwo-9/10-no penalty-2nd

#3. Autumn Boutique-7/10-no penalty-3rd

#5. Fashion Diva-7/10-minus 1 for LM-Eliminated

#8. Paris Couture-10/10-no penalty-1st

I do not appreciate people copying my example avatar. This happened in the first round and I gave a generic warning. Now I will be giving a direct warning and immediate elimination if it happens again. I will also be adding it to my contest rules. Thank you for joining my contest, and know that I hope to have Round 3 up soon. ~ Sky's Limit 

Alluring Belle's Beautiful Blue Outfit

I love how she mixed some of the newer turquoise items with some of the old and made them look amazing! The accessories work well together, and the makeup adds a whole new level to the outfit. Great job Alluring Belle, and thank you for contributing! ~ Sky's Limit

Weekly Closet Update: Red Hot

This outfit is interesting and unique, but not something I would have picked. However it is also not bad in anyway compared to some I have seen in the last year. 

The closet items, except the shoes, where gems so I will not be buying them anytime soon. I thought the purse and necklace where cute and the jumper was ok. The shoes are on my to buy list once my current boutique renovation is over. 

In my example, I dressed my avatar in a cute business outfit with the shoes from this update. They will work perfectly in my collection, especially for my business outfits.

What do you think of this week's update? ~  Sky's Limit

July Round 2: a Cave Tour at Wind Cave National Park

Round 2: a Cave Tour at Wind National Cave

You and your family continue your vacation (see round 1). You next stop is Wind Cave National Park. You decide to take an hour long tour of the cave to take pictures and get out of the summer heat.

Requirements: You must have a clutch or camera, long sleeves and long pants. NO dresses.

You have 24 hours, Post "Cave" when you are down. 1 player will be eliminated based on this rounds score only.

Example: In this example my avatar is wearing jeans and sweater for the cooler air in the cave along with a small clutch so her hands are more free to hold on to the stair railings. The boots are perfect for this or any other kind of hiking.

Have fun and be creative! ~ Sky's Limit

Weekly Closet Update: Ocean Wanderer

The outfit itself: Beautiful

 The price for the closet items: Disappointing

I love this update, and I'm starting to believe that I'll have a theme outfit for every mood I am in. I love the shirt (the one item I could buy) the most. Of course, with my current on-going reno I don't have much coins to spend at the moment.

What do you think about this newest addition from TL? ~ Sky's Limit

Results for July Round 1: Hike in Sequoia National Park

#9. Princess Wong-5/10-minus 1 for being late-Current Position: 5th (Eliminated)

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Late Independence Day!

This week's update had a 4th of July theme (the name kinda gives that away), so I thought I'd post along with my other 4th of July stuff. 

I was very disappointed with this update, it is such a let down after last years. Honestly, I didn't know what to do with the one item I would even consider buying: the boots. So, the avatar next to the picture of the catalog update is my best shot. 

What did you think of the update? ~ Sky's Limit

Funky Fash's Unique Boutique

A little while ago, I posted Funky Fash's Nightrider Outfit in my Friends Outfits category. Soon after she asked me to post her boutique, but since I was on vacation and am only now catching up I just got around to it.

I love the way she has her tables and racks arrange, and the pink floor tiles are just beautiful. Thank you for contributing Funky Fash! ~ Sky's Limit

July Round 1: Hike in Sequoia National Park

This month I decided to start holding my Fashionista O' the Month contests again. However they will be starting at the beginning of the month instead of the 20th, just cause I can. :)

This month we have 9 contestants, some of whom have won the title before and others who are new to this competition. Here are their boutique names:

#1. Style N Fit (check out her Fashion Story Blog)

#2. moynistwo (winner in March, 2014)

#3. Autumn Boutique

#4. Louise (winner in August, 2013)

#5. Fashion Diva (check out her Fashion Story Blog)

#6. Nighale

#7. Popular Fashion

#8. Paris Couture

#9. Princess Wong

Thank you all for joining the Fashionista O' July contest and Good Luck! 

This month the overall theme will be National or State Parks

Round 1, Hike in Sequoia National Park: You and your family are on vacation, and the first stop is Sequoia National Park. Get ready for climbing rocks near the waterfalls and walking between the huge trees for which the park got it's name. 

Requirements: You must wear a hat and closed toed shoes.

You have 24hrs. Post 'Trees' when you are ready. At the end of each round I will give you a 1-10/10 score and the two with the lowest scores will be eliminated. 

You may also receive negative points for things such as low modesty, being late or being rude to other contestants. Read my contest rules for details.

In my example my avatar is wearing boots and my hiking hat, along with a comfortable top and shorts. I also included a camera or a portable purse in my outfit because they are both practical. Remember, have fun! ~ Sky's Limit

Tiara Fashion's Cute Outfits and Boutique

Tiara Fashion is one of my most recent Fashion Story neighbors that I have discovered has a Fashion Story blog. I love how she put these outfits together, and her boutique is very unique. Thank You for contributing Tiara Fashion! ~ Sky's Limit

Weekly Closet Update: Orchid Overload

This is the update from two weeks ago, and it is not high on my list. 

None of the items really match each other when it came to color. Some of the items are cute on their own, the dress was ok. The only thing I really liked was the camera, which I will be buying once I have 7 gems. The shoes where the only part of outfit that didn't cost gems, and you know how I feel about that.

I used the camera and shoes in my tourist outfit, which is kinda ironic since I've been on vacation for the last two weeks. 

Overall, I wasn't impressed. I know Team Lava can and has done better than this so, I'm disappointed. What does the Fashion Story community think? ~ Sky's Limit
