Bohemian Gypsy @ •the event• H O L L Y W O O D

Well,  it's almost time for another major SL FASHION event promising to be just as big as the last!




WHAT:            •the event•  H O L L Y W O O D

 WHEN:                 March 29th - April 14th 

                                ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

  WHERE:  http://slurl.com/secondlife/event%20HOLLYWOOD/102/19/30




I am pleased to share that BOHEMIAN GYPSY will be at this event:


We are located on Sunset Blvd. in a sweet ivy covered boutique. (Pssst: the above slur will take you right to this spot! or at least I think it will *grins & winks*).

At this event I will be premiering 2 new release. The first I designed with a true So. Cal native born spirit (yep, this is RL home turf or at least not too far from it!):

HOLLYWOOD GYPSY



Hollywood Gypsy is a funky outfit that reflects Hollywood and the more bohemian lifestyle that is tucked here and there around the city and hills. The dress is mesh (sizes + alpha) and comes with dress adornments (a breast piece & ribbon bow), undershirt tank, grey stockings and torn fishnets (separate items that can be worn alone or together as shown), gypsy bangles for both wrists (each different), and mesh lace-up boots (Stevie Nicks style!).  

You can grab the entire outfit for just 679 L$. The boots and bangles are also sold separately.






The second NEW RELEASE is a collection of 4 different color sexy chic dresses & heels that iare available as a fatpack or separate.

GYPSY JEWELS COLLECTION FATPACK



Why just like Julie Robert's "Pretty Woman," even the crunchy granola Gypsy knows how to clean-up nicely and be the purrfect adornment to any man's (or woman's :-D ) arm. The Gypsy Jewels collections makes good on such a promise and offers 4 lovely chic cocktail dresses (blue, bronze, purple, and red), each with dress adornments (bodice ruffles and chiffon skirt ruffles) and matching heels.

The collection fatpack sales for 979 L$ and includes all 4 colors & matching heels.

However, if a fatpack is not your idea of a great tofu stir-fry, well then, grab one of the dresses ala carte:








Ok, one last fantastic thing needs to be said about paying a visit to not only BOHEMIAN GYPSY boutique but every store found at  •the event•  H O L L Y W O O D and that is...
*drum roll please*

every store is giving away a COMPLIMENTARY  "Swag Bag" -- now, the ONLY way to describe the contents is... you know about the actors and actresses who attend the Oscars? Yep... and you've heard about the incredibly elaborate gifts they receive?  Uh-huh... well, need I say anything more?  You just don't know what's gonna be in those bags, and of course I can only speak for the one you'll find in my boutique, but... it's something really fun! I hope you enjoy it and... I'd love to hear back from you on it, so please drop me a line!

Ok, that's it and I look forward to seeing you at


As always,
Wishing you KUSHTI BOK!

... WELL MY FRIENDS...

Fashion For Life is opening to the public and I hope you all come shop until you drop!  Remember, every linden you spend on exclusive FFL items goes to a worthy cause -- The American Cancer Society!  Bring your friends, scour all six sims and when you see something you just gotta have, buy it right then and there because chances are you won't remember where it was and you won't find something similar or better!

Thank you for reading my FFL Blog post. I wish I could have honored each and every designer participating in the fair. For those of us who may have gone un-blogged, let us remember it's not a spotlight that counts. In the end it is how much effort we gave to help find a cure for cancer!  To you a kudos!!!

Wishing each of you
Kushti Bok!

Oneday I went back to the media lounge to look at the new editions and was pleasantly surprised to find in the lounge a woman I'd met when I was just a few months old in SL.

A World of Creativity...

For the first time this year I am actively participating in 


Bohemian Gypsy has a mini shop in the Gardens of Babylon and is honored to present several new pieces designed exclusively for this worthy cause, as well as the premiere of several new collections, which can only be found at the fair.

OUR LOCATION:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gardens%20of%20Babylon/59/151/41

In this post I would like to share the donated exclusive designs for the Fair. When you purchase them,  100% of the proceeds go to American Cancer Society - Relay For Life. 

EXCLUSIVE DESIGNS

Gypsy Queen - Limited Edition
*only 15 copies will be sold*


In honor of traditional gypsy style and living, Gypsy Queen embraces the soul and heart of our way of life, promising to envelop you in the aura of our tribe.

This ensemble includes: prim top in lovely sation and raw silk textures; prim pinafore maxi skirt, glitch pants,  gold link belly chain, mesh boots (sizes + alpha), head scarf.  The minimum donation set for this exclusive limited edition is 924 L$.


GENTLE HEART
*available in two colors*

In Lilac
In Pink


A very feminine and innocently seductive outfit that has raised "wow" responses when presented. You know sometimes it is the simplicity of a design that raises the eyebrows, and that's this outfit.

This ensemble includes: beautiful lace pinafore maxi skirt and slightly sheer tube top edged with a ruffle. The minimum donation price is 340 L$.


WILD ONE


Fun and playful and delightfully sexy, Wild One will appease the lil animal in you, while eliciting the whistle of others. 

This ensemble includes: Dress, stockings, mesh boots (sizes + alpha). The minimum donation price is 299 L$.


PURPLE SUEDE


While this particular mesh may be more common now, it is still very indulging of the feminine wiles and is donated at an affordable price for raising donations for this worthy cause. Textured in a lovely purple design suede for both the dress and wedge slippers that are included.  Minimum donation price is 299 L$.


ALL YOURS


A simple but sweet and sexy lingerie set that includes a velvet hair flower. All prim allows for that special someone to choose whether to de-render the items or not!  Minimum donation price is 199 L$.


GYPSY MESH BAREFEET


I wanted to have a special offer item that was not designed for the fair but I know lots of people might like.  So, here is my version of mesh bare feet. They really are quite lovely. Aside from the mesh feet, included are: skin color blending socks, alpha, skin color hud, all for the minimum donation price of 25 L$!

That's it for Bohemian Gypsy. Hope you will drop by the booth.  

My next post will begin to cover other designer's exclusives that can be found ONLY at the fair!  Until then, as always...

Wishing you Kushti Bok,
     Banba
