4 More Halloween Lucky Chair Prizes Added!


I've added 4 more prizes to the lucky chairs (Dream On Bay Main store ONLY!) for a total of 6 prizes to win. In addition to the Sexy Silk and the Romance Dress you can now get coordinated jewelry. A necklace, bracelet, earrings and a belly ring all made to match the Romance Dress can be yours if you feel lucky :)

To make it even better I've set the Lucky Chair timers to 5 and 10 minutes with wildcards so everybody has a chance to win them before they are gone.

All Halloween themed Lucky Chair prizes will disappear on November 1st.

Remember ONLY the Dream on Bay store has ALL the prizes and the low timers. If you go to the old main store in Wall you can still win the dress and silk. (see the blog sidebar for the SLurl to the Dream on Bay store)

ALSO! The grid wide Pumpkin Hunt starts tonight at midnight! Don't miss it! Just Teleport to my main store in Dream On Bay to get started!



The grid wide hunt ends November 2nd.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Congratulations Hearts Baroque!

Hearts Baroque's submission to the Solange! Fashions Fan Art flickr photostream was selected as my next store model display:




You can see her original photo submission here.

Hearts is wearing the Romance dress in Mango and chose to frame her avatar in world with a wonderful background mix of shades, textures and patterns. Great capture Hearts!

Congratulations for being selected and winning a free Phat Pack from Solange! Fashions!

~~Please note that several of the photos being submitted are too small for me to use. Even if I love love love your capture if it's not at least 512 x 512 (prefer BIG like 1024 x 1024 or some combination of that) and high definition it will lose quality when i crop it to the shape and size I want to use. Keep that in mind when setting your camera and doing your photoshoot. :)

Pluckin' Beauties from the Pool

Thanks for all the gorgeous photos you've been taking in second life and posting to my Solange! Fashions Fan Art pool! The pictures are amazing to see and it's like being in a candy store trying to pick out which ones to use. What a wonderful problem to have, I am truly blessed.

I've managed to make my first selection and chosen a photo submitted by Freyja Nemeth.

Here is the final processed and cropped version I did of her photo that is now displayed in the store:
Isn't she lovely? Her avatar has a beautiful unique look that caught my eye and her photo was easy to work with to give me lots of room to play around. You can see Freyja's original submission photo here.

For having her photo chosen, Freyja wins a free Phat Pack of her choice. Congratulations Freyja!

(As a side note, the Phat Packs you get to pick from my store if I choose your photo includes every outfit, even those that don't have an "official" phat pack)

Keep those pictures coming! Use the links on the right side of my blog to find my photostream and my Solange! Fashion Fan Art pool.

New! - Daydream

In between all that building I've been doing recently I fiddled around in photoshop and sculptypaint to come up with a new little fall dress. Where I live "Fall" is still in the low 80's upper 70's so you need something you can peel layers off or add layers to as the weather warms up then cools down in a single day. That led to this casually romantic little dress I've named Daydream:





It comes in 7 floral shades with matching jacket. The cuffs on the jacket are sculpted and coordinate with my previous release, Because, for mix and match fun. I also added additional colors to the Because outfit to accomodate this. The Navy Because is also still available via the Subscribe-O-matic, but grab it quick as it will be removed on Monday (it will still be for sale in the store, you just won't be able to grab it as a freebie anymore).

Make sure to visit the new island store at Dream on Bay! (see my profile pics to TP there or you can use the SLurl on the right side of this blog)

Enjoy!

Solange! Fashions huge Island Store now open to the public!

Now you can enjoy lag free shopping at the new Solange! Fashions Main Store located at Dream On Bay Island! After only a year of procrastination I have finally completed the building of my island based main store and opened one of my private islands to the public. Nightlife Overlord, the owner of @home Entertainment, has joined me there with his new main store as well. No more fighting mainland lag!

Rather than just build stores I've also added some fun areas to explore and relax but you'll have to brave the catacombs under the store as well as the river to find them!

Here's a few pictures of the new island stores:

The new @home Entertainment store (Below)

The Crystal Room pictured below was particularly fun to put together. The mushrooms and leaves double as perches for all the fairy folk. These roleplay/social rooms should make things a bit more interesting for my annual 12 days of Christmas gift hunt (hehe!)

This is the Harem room (pictured below) which includes a belly dance ball for those aspiring belly dancers to work that thang!

And if you're feeling down on your luck you can hang out in the Lucky Chair room to see if you can, well, get lucky! The lucky chair (1 of several to be added) will be networked on the island and include several prizes that can be won. I have not added all the new prizes yet but those should be showing up in the next few days.



A river runs through the center of the island and under the stores (pictured below). I'll be creating more places to explore and hang out on the island in the coming days. This has been a wonderful expression of creativity for me and I am hoping you will all enjoy it too.
