Easter Market: 1)PICHI, 2)WERTINA - Japan Fair: Candy Nail, Also KaTink, EMO-tions, Chop Zuey, {{BSD}} and Kyxe Skins & Shapes

With pose creators, they seem to make them in packs of five or ten. As a model, and as I've prepared different looks, I noticed that if the pack were used in tandem, it looks like the pack could be used all at once on a runway and display a dress, or boots, or something with each pack. I have much much more experience behind a camera than on a runway, so this is only my perception. I had fun with setting up the poses here, from KaTink. One had hands up, and I immediately thought stealth, like on Survivor when one of member of an alliance overhears something while listening behind a bush. You'll see my rendition of that in this set of photos. Thank you KaTink.

Many of the items that come with different fairs and events are full outfits from the get go. I feel responsible to show you as many parts as possible in such outfit sets. I like separates a lot, as well, and when I have the chance, like I did in this series, to put a top by one designer with a skirt or pants or shorts in this case, it's more of a puzzle to me.

The sweater print is from WERTINA at Easter Market, and the shorts are from PICHI. I also have a new set of nails from Candy Nail, from Japan Fair. I've been a Candy Nail shopper for a few years, so I enjoyed finding Candy Nail as part of Japan Fair and knew it would be a treat. There are several styles, some with very unique sculpts for the nail's shape. You have to go and see!

EMO-tions spoils customers with new gifts regularly. The hair that Ms. Mirja Mills is giving away this month is seen in these photos, Suri in the Snow color. The headband will change colors, to optimize your use. I liked keeping it white so it would show the bold difference between the white head scarf and the Marigold skin tone from Kyxe Skins & Shapes.

The very very up close and personal head shot was taken to show you a whole new product idea that was added to Kyxe inventory this weekend, brow tattoos to add drama to your skins in many color and shape options. Across runways in the world of fashion off line, brilliant colored hair and unique brows are trending. This means more pink and blue hair this spring! I'm going to dye it!! And also thick, or cut or even brightly matching brows are on the horizon.

Babycham PagneSass touched my heart when she allowed me to begin blogging her shoes mid-year of 2013. I knew she crafted her own mesh forms for each new shoe, and she had her own ideas and dreams to creatively add something to the fashion world of Second Life. I think she's had an impressive new year, and for one lady (me!) she's made my heart soar more than a few times as she shared a new style here and there. The Super Model shoe was the first shoe I blogged for her and now she's released a Special Anniversary version of it, and the Nu Purple suited just fine for this styling. I wish her the very best in 2014, and beyond as she continues to grow.

One other detail is the Brooch from Chop Zuey. The small heart pin stuck to my sweater made me think of the pinning that used to occur in the days when my parents were dating. If a fella liked a girl, he'd pin her. I think it was like a promise to a promise to a promise, that meant it was possible, even likely, that the couple would marry after high school ended. I don't think there are little significant moments like that in modern teen culture. It's a sweet little heart pin and beautifully designed.

What a treat each designer presented that helped create this blog. Thank you!

More From Easter Market - Featuring [CIRCA], *Lavanda Chic*, *~Aphrodite Shop~* Also - EMO-tions, Chop Zuey

Every time I look into my Easter Market Basket, I find some new little surprises. I love the pose props that different designers release around different holidays.

The bunny from *~Aphrodite Shop~* in the first photo has it's own nestle pose built into it. I guess in the absence of a man to cuddle, the bunny works well![CIRCA] Provided the props on either side of the bunny, and have other spring seasonal props for sale.

All the fun props needed a spring outfit to go with it, and I used the short dress from *Lavanda Chic* - also from Easter Market, new hair from EMO-tions called Rula, and the Runway Perfect Hunt jewelry set from Chop Zuey.

I also accidentally discovered a buried treasure, the bare feet from AIDORU. I didn't know I had them til now and I'm so glad I do, as bare feet are perfect in Spring!

Gracious thanks to each designer who made this style possible:

Handle With Care -- Featuring from Easter Market M&M -- Also Featuring EMO-tions

New Easter Market fun from M&M, not the candy but just as delicious! This metallic bodysuit with spikes brought out the 80's rocker chick in me.

EMO-tions released a new color palette that includes fades like the choice shown in this series. All of the colors you've come to love are available just as you knew them, and then there are all new pairings of those colors to create the new looks. Rosa is a mesh style that showcases this new twist at EMO-tions perfectly. I also found a little bauble from EMO-tions, the Addicted ring. I'm fairly sure I'm addicted!

I'm happy to continue to show new releases from Kyxe Skins & Shapes and this eye color comes from the series called Shine. You'll find several new makeup palette options at Kyxe now and more coming soon. If you have special requests, you can jot a note and put your message in Keisha's box, or let me know and I'll pass it on to her lickety-split!

Staple items like eyes and lashes, even the shape I once spent so much time working with to try to get it 'just right' don't always get mentioned but to me, they're always appreciated. Any artist has a certain amount of basic work go into their creations, and I lovingly put those details, with the great mesh eyes collection created by Maddox and the awesome HUD driven mesh lashes from Gaeline into my finished project.

For the fun and flirtatious fittings I had to design this style, I thank you:

The Vixen From A.F.I Designs Plus Treats from Easter Market: Persefona, Icons of Style, and Maniac Quintessa

At the Easter Market, there are some serious things and a lot of little playful things that ring in Spring. I enjoy both extremes and most anything anyone can create that falls between serious and playful.

This morning, I framed three photos that show the clever use of props with poses from Icons of Style. There were quite a few choices of little gold eggs like the ones I'm holding, and then there was an egg cluster with poses as well. I also included Persefona's colorful floral headband from Easter Market as well as Maniac Quintessa's Seeing Red heels.

The AFI Designs creator sent me Vixen, this little mini dress. I have decided that many spring designs will be perfect to wear with the colorfully tattooed skin gifts from Kyxe Skins & Shapes, as you can see so much of the art with this particular dress.

I think I've tried every combination of the mesh eyes from KMADD/MODA Designs and continue to comb through the spectrum of choices, finding new color schemes, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, still discovering new 'oooh' moments with the styles and colors available.

Thank you to each designer who made this style possible:

Flitting Fiery Creature -- Featuring Schoen from Japan Fair, !Frozen, J&A Rock Culture, AsHmOoT, -LEO from Easter Market

Sometimes I mean to work more rapidly on projects, so that I can get more out there, to show you more of all the amazing things designers put out for these fairs. They put a lot of work into what they do and I appreciate the hours it takes to get one detail just right.

So my notion of speeding through it gets lost in my wanting to show more in the moment. Maybe one day I'll find a happy medium, but for now, I just work and don't watch the clock. One minute it's 2 p.m. and the next time I look, it's 5 p.m. and I wonder, hmmm.

So instead of two or three photos to show you this cute little creature from somewhere warm and bright, I took more than the ones I'm sharing now, and had fun with her. The dress is an exclusive from the Japan Fair, from Schoen.

The hair comes from EMO-tions but it's definitely a tint that is Caryn created. A little creative license sometimes takes human hair to another level and one imagines festive creatures instead!

The ears and special pose on the photo with all the eggs are from !Frozen - Easter Market. A little bunny necklace comes from J&A Rock Culture. - Easter Market. AsHmOoT created the bow tie shoes for Easter Market. And -LEO- provided all the variety of eggs decor you could add to your sim to make it a more festive place.

And no photo would be complete without the gorgeous skin and makeup from Kyxe Skins & Shapes. New shadow, Electra Luscious, lays over the basic Blossom Skin Tone.

It's Time To Breathe -- Featuring Petits Chats Creations, Hawker's House, Chop Zuey, and Nailed It

With different designers and different purposes, events around Second Life allow us all to explore so much in one place. The Easter Market seems to come so quickly. I suppose time flies when we're all enjoying life. The people who brought the Christmas Market put together another great seasonal bit of fun.

This Persephone spring dress comes from Petits Chats Creations and is at Easter Market. Another pair of great boots from recent releases at Hawker's House suit me during any season! Chop Zuey contributed the jewelry for this styling, Paz Eterna necklace and bracelet plus A Big Spring Ring.

And I love how Nailed It released their gift for Runway Perfect Hunt; if you're a mesh lover, it's in there, a prim lover, it's in there and SLink nail appliers are in there too.

So grateful to the designers who made this blog possible:
