Hello again my lovelies!

Happy February! A new bi-monthly shopping event called Best Of The Best that just opened on January 30th and I'm going to show you a great item from that event. Also, I have a very sexy new top and a new line of lip color from Blasphemic. Finally, I have another gift item to show you from the Add Some Red Hunt 3.

The leggings I'm wearing is from The Style Loft and it's called Soleil Leggings. The Style Loft is one of the designers at a new shopping event called Best Of The Best that just opened on January 30th.

The leggings are 100% mesh and comes packed in 5 standard mesh sizes. It's also available in 5 great colors: blue, grape, gray hearts, hot pink and olive. Each are sold separately.

The amazing top I'm wearing is a new release from Blasphemic called Bente Top. It comes packed with clothing layers for classic bodies and mesh body appliers for: Omega, Slink, TMP, Maitreya and Belleza. The Bento Top is available in 7 great colors: black, blue, nude, pink, purple, red and white. You can purchase each color separately or in a fatpack.

In my last post, I showed you two of the many gift items at the Add Some Red Hunt 3 that started today.

Well, I have another gift item to show you and it's the piano (with red roses/rose petals) that I'm posing on in the cover photo and this photo to the right.

It's from the pose store Something New and it's called Piano Princess. 

As you can see from the store ad to the left, it's got a total of 6 great single poses. It is copy/mod and the land impact is 26.

The lipstick I'm wearing is another new release from Blasphemic called LipMagic.

It comes with a 10-color lip applier HUD, that looks like the store ad to the left, for Catwa, Lelutka, Genesis, TMP and Omega mesh heads and 10 tattoo layers for classic heads.








Before I close, I just want to remind you that the Add Some Red Hunt 3 started today and runs till February 29th. The starting point is here: Add Some Red Hunt Start Point. Also, the Best of the Best event is now open and the first round will run till the end of next week so be sure to stop on over and check it out!

Look No. 250: Black Or White - Part 2

I feel wonderful because I see

The love light in  your eyes.

And the wonder of it all

Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

~ Eric Clapton ~

If you like hunts, this is the post for you. This is the last week for Fi's Hunt's Black or White Hunt 2. This is a hunt I posted about on January 16th where you choose one of two paths: black (easy) or white (difficult). So, with that being said, I'm showing two more great hunt items in this post; this time from Fi's Creations.

This amazing gown I'm wearing is Fi's Creations item for the white path of the hunt.

It is 100% mesh and comes packed with 5 standard mesh sizes.

I am wearing this with my Maitreya mesh body but I cannot guarantee it will fit all mesh bodies. It is a fantastic dress and I just love it.

For the black path of the hunt, Fi's Creations is offering this uber adorable strapless dress.

This dress is 100% mesh and comes packed with 5 standard mesh sizes.

Again, I am wearing this with my Maitreya mesh body and again, I can't guarantee it will work with other mesh bodies. However, with the smaller shapes, I'm sure it would.

In this post, I'm wearing eyes from Ikon's Triumph Eyes collection. The color is called Tropics.

The skin I'm wearing is from Hush Skin's latest release, Jasmine. The skin tone is called Toffee.













The Black or White Hunt 2 runs until January 31st and they really have some great gifts for you. Please check out Fi's Hunts website for more details  on this hunt and get all the hunt item hints and SLURLs.

Finally, please be sure to check out Ikon and Hush Skins at both their inworld and Marketplace stores. If you have space in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups to take advantage of group gifts and be the first to know of new releases and any events they may be involved with.

Until next time...happy shopping and happy hunting!

For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

Hello again my lovelies!

Before I get to today's post, I just want to introduce you all to IMaGE Factory. It's not a new store but they are new to Violette's Closet. IMaGE Factory is owned by Jessicaann Wrigglesworth who designs clothing, shoes and accessories for both men and women and she also makes full perm items as well. So I'm very excited to be working for her.

Ok, so if you like hunts, this will be the post for you because I have two hunt items to show you from IMaGE Factory and PosESioN. Both items are for the MENstuff Hunt that will begin tomorrow, January 15th.

The first hunt item is this amazing top that my handsome model, Roman, is wearing. It's from IMaGE Factory and it's called Tommy Hoodie Jacket Combo.

This hoodie/jacket combo is both 100 percent mesh and fitted mesh. It comes with 3 mesh sizes: small, medium and large. It also comes packed with 2 fitted mesh sizes: v1 and v2.

I have great news for guys who have the Slink Physique Male Mesh Body and the Niramyth Aesthetic Mesh Body. This hoodie/jacket will fit both wonderfully.

The Tommy Hoodie Jacket Combo also comes packed with this amazing color/texture HUD giving you 18 choices for the shirt, 16 choices for the hoodie and 12 choices for the leather jacket.

The pants I'm wearing are also from IMaGE Factory but they are not a hunt item for the MENstuff Hunt.

The pants are called Bro Jeans. They are 100% mesh and come packed with 5 standard sizes.

The Bro Jeans also comes packed with this color/texture HUD giving you 4 pants options, 2 belt options and silver and gold metal options.

Just something for you to note: Roman is wearing the Slink Physique Male Mesh Body and as you can see, it fits him perfectly. If you have any other male mesh body, I do suggest trying on the demo prior to purchase if you like these pants.

All the poses you see in this post is the second hunt item in the MENstuff Hunt and it's from PosESioN and it's called Ahn. This is a 5-pose set for men.

Roman is wearing eyes from Ikon's Triumph Eyes collection and the color is called Rustic.

As I said earlier, the MENstuff Hunt begins on January 15th and will run until February 29th. Be sure to make your way there and grab the hunt items from IMaGE Factory and PosESioN. For more information and hints for this hunt, please check out the MENstuff website.

Finally, please be sure to check out IMaGE Factory, PosESioN and Ikon both inworld and on Marketplace to see everything they have to offer. Also, if you have space in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups to take advantage of group gifts and be the first to know about new releases and any events they may be participating in.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Hello again my lovelies!

In my first life, I am a lover of the arts which translates into my second life. In fact, I may love art in my second life more than I do in my first life. I love how the art in Second Life is so interactive; something that is rare in real life.

I was first told about Bryn Oh's interactive art installation, The Gathering, by my friend Arya. She called it weird and crazy. This peaked my interest because anything weird and crazy in SL is something I HAVE to see.

Parts of The Gathering is weird and crazy but it's also strangely beautiful and peaceful. I'd tell you more about it but this post would run longer than normal so if you want to know more, you can read Ziki Questi's Blog post about the installation. She goes into great detail about the entire experience.

Today I am wearing a bodysuit by B Bos called the Caty Bodysuit.

It is available in 6 colors (black, bone, grey, pink, red and white) and 2 patterns (cross & stripes). You can buy each color separately or in a fatpack.

This bodysuit is both 100 percent fitted mesh and regular mesh. It comes with 5 standard fitted mesh sizes and 5 standard mesh sizes; plus, it also comes with fitted mesh sizes for the Belleza, Slink and Maitreya mesh bodies. I do highly recommend that you pick up the demo prior to purchase to ensure a great fit.

If you like hunts, the Into The Woods Hunt started a couple days ago. PosESioN is participating in the hunt with a set of 5 poses called, Liberty Editorial.

The hint for this item is: I GO INTO THE LIGHT. If you like these poses, get to the hunt within the next couple weeks because it ends on December 15th.

The set of eyes I'm wearing today is from Ikon's Spectral Eyes collection. The specific color I chose to wear is called Dew.

Each eye set comes with 5 iris sizes in both system and mesh eyes. There is a HUD for the mesh eyes where you can re-size your irises, move them around and add effects like: glow, brightness and flip.

At the store, you'll find there are 50 amazing colors to choose from and a free demo you can take and try on to see if you like the look of these eyes on you.






Please be sure to visit B Bos, PosESioN and Ikon inworld and/or on Marketplace. If you have any space in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups to stay informed of group gifts, special group pricing, new releases and events.

Until next time...happy shopping and happy Holidays!
