Give Hope this Christmas...Make her blush... ;)

My first piece of Dahlinks jewelry was from a Valentine's/Anti-Valentine's hunt back in 2008 *chuckles*. I wore that thing out. Then magic happened. One day I received a gift from Miss A and its brilliance made me smile for days. It's the gift that makes me continue to look down the halls and in the rooms of Dahlinks with amazement every day...presenting:

The Hope Diamond Series:


I love this set.  Diamonds encrusted with more diamonds that are all just so brilliant, it lights up even the simplest of outfits.  I personally recommend getting dolled up in a v-neck sweater and jeans and rocking this out with some boots...but that's deviating from our purpose here which is the jewels!!!  This set, priced at L$650, is available in: diamond, ruby, champagne, deep green, pink, classic blue (shown above), purple, black and cocoa ... you will find your perfect match for any outfit with these. 

Then, as I was ogling the hope diamond, I spied a hint of pink out of the corner of my eye. It sparkled and immediately drew my attention.  I read its name and giggled like a schoolgirl almost immediately as it definitely made me feel like a blushing girl. Presenting: The Sunrise Blush Set (L$650 for the set)...




This gorgeous pink and white diamond set comes in the shape of poinsettias and laces your wrist with the hint of a champagne blush kiss to your skin.  Available as a set for L$650 or in pieces (bracelets - L$200; earrings and necklace set - L$300; and the dress ring - L$300), you are sure to find something gloriously wonderful in this set that you can give your family or lady love and keep her smiling for a long time.

More new items and gift ideas are coming to this blog very soon, so keep an eye out. And in the meantime, grab your linden balance and come ready to shop for your glitter without the bling, babes ;)

Move Over Madame Rue...Dahlinks Has the Right Potion...

I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine


~ The Clovers, "Love Potion Number 9"

I logged in the other day and received what I can only describe as the best inworld pre-Christmas present in the history of Christmas presents...a bottle.  But not just any bottle, a bottle from Dahlinks.  Wanna see?  Ok...I'm not waiting for you to answer.  Presenting "Love Potion No. 9"!!


Now while this bottle looks like you could take out a linebacker with one hit...this little bottle of awesome is the best homage I've ever seen to the landmark song and I must say...I LOVE it.  I have even replaced my signature initial necklace from Dahlinks with THIS one.  And not just because she named a color after me (thank you, Miss A!) as Dahlinks has several named after her long time supporters in this release of product, but because it's a fun, eye catching piece that makes me sway from side to side like a bell while I hum one of my all-time favorite ditties.


No need to "hold your nose or close your eyes" with this yummy confection of jewelry, folks!  There's a flavor (and gem) for everyone! Available in black, aquamarine, amethyst, kilo purple (*beams*), midnight, blue, emerald, suite green, crystal, sofia chocolate, daqueen mandarine, skylerlynne pink, cynful crystal (an yummeh clear and mystical option...pictured right :P), roselynn ruby and red, you have plenty of choices to choose from the minute you walk into the store!

Priced at L$150, this wonderful bauble is priced to move and makes an EXCELLENT stocking stuffer.  So fellas...add this to the list for your sisters and homegirls.  Ladies, give this gift to your besties or just keep it for yourself.  But take the advise of the song and use sparingly...or you lips will chafe from all the lovins that both mistletoe and Love Potion No. 9 will bring you.

Ooh!! Ooh!! And before I forget...there is one more color available...but you have to join the subscribo or the inworld group to get it.  ONLY available til year end and then the rainbow crystal version is off the market...forever (muahahahahahaaha).  So act fast kids...or you'll miss it! Talk to you soon...MWAH!


(ok...I had to throw this shot in. It's the aquamarine...isn't it delightfully yummy looking??  ok ok...i gotta go...or i'll start taking swigs on these bottles..all of them.  even yours :P)

~ Miss K

p.s.  A thing to not forget: Dahlinks is in the Peace on Earth hunt...so explore the store for the free gift!!

Just Give Me .... The Moon

Hello Dahlinks!  This...is going to be surprisingly ... SHORT!!!  I was walking through the store today and spotted something I missed in the new releases section...moonstone and all in a cozy lil bangle set!!



The Dahlinks Woven Stack Bracelets with Moonstone are a mix of braided, flat, regular and chain link bracelets pulled together for stunning well fitted bracelet set sure to throw even the most sane person into a wave of hysteria (after all...the moon does make you do crazy things, do they not?) as you slide them on to any outfit.  No resize scripts; just pure unadulterated awesome for each wrist. 

Come on down to Dahlinks and pick up your set today. It's on the new releases wall by the window.  Or...you can go nab Christmas awesomeness right across the hall in our Christmas room.  Orrr (and Miss A is gonna kill me for sure), you could just troll the store for the secret sale O.O.  Something...is on sale in the store and could possibly change in price from day to day...or every few days...til year end.  So happy hunting kiddies and see you around Dahlinks *pulls out her magnifiying glass to start checking prices*!

Something for Her ... and Him... O.O

Hello Dahlinks Family!  I really just am at a loss for words over the beauty of these two items, so I am going to do something I hardly ever do...post the pictures, drool and logout before I *urf* the pictures.

Presenting the Gothic Vial Blood Drop Chain Necklace:



This necklace, on the surface reminds me of a necklace I saw, not sure of the time period, but it was crafted to look like this intricate piece of art, but hid a weapon in its sheath, a blade to be specific.  Accented with gold, silver and black diamonds, this piece will be sure to draw attention no matter what you wear.  It's simply...stunning.  And funny enough...it has a partner of sorts! 

Presenting the Men's Gothic Blood Vial Pendant:



The S-Curve of the links on the chain and the overall awesome craftsmanship for some reason remind me of something I've seen in the movie "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".  It's sorta steampunk, completely gothic and like its mate...a complete eyecatcher.

Come on down and pick up your matching sets today...and don't forget about the many things going on at Dahlinks this month, like the Peace on Earth Hunt and our Christmas exclusives!

Have a good night all ^.^

Evolution of an Avatar


As anyone who has noticed the Dahlinks blog would realise, up till now it has been mainly concerned with telling the grid about new releases from Dahlinks Jewelry. Well an interesting thing happened to me yesterday and it started me considering one of my other chief passions in SL, apart from glittery junk and SHOOOESESESESESSS... breath breath... okay I am good now, and that is skins.

You see, an avi I had never encountered and had no knowledge of called xxxxx xxxxx dropped a strange skin on me called xxxx xxxx’s Skin. [The names have been xxxed out for reasons that are about to become apparent]. Now I was curious and cautious at the same time but it was late at night so I tried it on. Oh My DAYUMN... Now this was a nice skin... Too tanned for a typical Alex skin but ver ver nicely done. In fact too nice for a full perm skin with a generic full avatar name... Yep you guessed it. Ripped skin anyone. And not any ripped skin. A little investigation revealed the original makers copyright name there on the lower skin tattoo and I immediately IMed one of SL longest established and best known skinners and let her know that she had been ripped. Of course I thought... She probably already knows and this is only the thousandth IM she is getting regarding this. Boy was I wrong. Nope. This was the first she knew of it and in fact this skin was one she had just released.


This finally brings me to the purpose of this post. I have a passion for skins. From my second day in SL I have hunted across the grid for skins that suited my shape and my vision of my avi. I have spent thousands and thousands of Lindens in homage to the long hours of photoshop pain that goes into creating a good skin. Along with numerous other lesser known designers my skin closet includes an X2 skin from the period BEFORE they were ripped and flooded the grid, TaP, Celestial Studio, Abyss, Redgrave and Damiani just to name a few. I name these skins for a very good reason though.

Dahlinks Jewelry is almost two years old. During that time I have ALMOST exclusively used my own avi to shoot my vendor shots. In most cases I have also used my skin of choice for that given period of my avatar’s journey. Anyone walking around my store will see the evolution of an avatar.. at least the evolution of MY avatar’s journey in search of the perfect skin. Over the next 6 weeks I will be reviewing different skins as I shoot my holiday and anniversary releases... Stay tuned... Aussie Madness ahead!

It's Snowing at Dahlinks!

Close your eyes and tilt your head back.  Stick out your tongue and taste the first fall of snow...
                                                                        ... it tasted like popsicles :)
~ a childhood memory



Presenting the Falling Snow Set (L$450)



If someone were to ask what a tasty snowflake looked like (other than melted), I'd point them to the Christmas room at Dahlinks.  This set is utterly...breathtaking.  Available in two metals and your choice of diamond, emerald or ruby gems, this set is sure to warm even the most cold of hearts into an appreciation for snow.  An elegant addition to a gown or simply something cute to bound around the grid in with a nice sweater, the Falling Snow Set from Dahlinks is not just a wonderful gift to sneak into that special lady's holiday stocking...but a piece that can be worn year round as well.

Be sure to stop by...before I fall to temptation and taste the snowfall (see the hijinks that ensues at work...below):

[in private im upon receiving new release notification]

Kilolo: that's really pretty
Kilolo wil refrain from humping the vendor wall...
Kilolo WILL REFRAIN from humping the vendor wall
Alex: lol
Kilolo's lip quivers as she resists the urge to hump the display...

later at Dahlinks...upon finding the new release...

Alex shouts: Stop humping that Kilo
Kilolo shouts: i didn't! i swear i didn't!

The Spirit of Chirstmas is Upon Us!

I'm sorry for the brevity of this blog, but when I found that Dahlinks is one of the vendors in the Peace On Earth Hunt...I simply had to start plowing my way through it to see what other nummies were on the visiting trail.  Then I remembered...I could just go straight to work and see for myself!

So as I forged through the store seeking the mysterious globe of anticipation for this hunt, I happened across our Christmas room and found ... NEW AWESOMENESS!!

Presenting...The Ho Ho Ho Belly Chain (pictured here in silver)


This delectable piece of Christmas cheer arrived in the store today ready to be wrapped and taken home to place in your stocking at a very affordable L$125. Also available separately in gold, this belly chain is a fabulous addition to any Christmas ensemble (or just wear it because it's so darn cute!).

Also...here's a peek at the Peace on Earth prize (a men's choker and a ladies necklace both included....it's the awesome!)




The men's choker features two pendant features available through our nifty menu as well as color and gem options. And...and...ladies don't think you can't benefit from this lovely gift. It's resizable and fits like a dream (*swooooon*).  So you get two necklaces for the ... click (?) of one!!  Speaking of which the peace chain for the ladies is fully gem changeable with nine gem selection as well as two metal options.  Talk about some wonderful things to get you in the holiday spirit!

I'm already abuzz with the holiday spirit...come on down to Dahlinks and pick up tons of wonderful things to fill everyone's holiday stockings.

Ni ni kids...time to make a shopping list *winks*

From the Depths of Dahlinks...

Earlier this week, we brought you the King Solomon Set, a glorious tribute to King Solomon's Mines.  And it got me thinking about Africa...the jungles...and movies...namely one that references King Solomon's Mines and then I remembered this set of lovelies that Dahlinks created a long time ago. RE-Introducing...The Congo:





Now for those still in recovery from Thanksgiving and going into food overload...this is NOT chocolate bars around your neck!  But doesn't it look yummy anyway? LOL  This is the Congo Necklace (L$200) in Teak. Hand assembled, this bone, wood, bead combo was hand crafted by Dahlinks in the mines of our store using our main Primtress's blood, sweat and tears long ago.  In addition, we also have the ...



...Congo Earrings (L$75) in Teak!! Both pieces individually are stars within their own right, but combined they make for one affordably killer set.  Both earrings and necklace are available at our main store on the Dahlinks sim in: Black Horn, Ivory (we promise...no virtual elephants were harmed), Teak (shown above) and Sandlewood (sort of like the milk chocolate version of the collection).  So swing by and take your outfit from drab to fab with this wonderful set from the deepest mines of Dahlinks.  This set is guaranteed to match anything from smoothe and sleek to BoHo Chic!

See you next time kiddles...I think I have a hankering for some chocolate ;)

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!


While I maybe an Aussie... Most of my friends inworld are actually Americans. So in honour of the Yanks deciding that they wanted to settle away from the Poms and buying up land for the price of beads... (Damn I wonder if LL would take glitteries in place of tier?) I have snuck over to XstreetSL on my Lunch break and reduced the Forever Autumn Set to Half Price![ Forever Autumn on XstreetSL ]


The Set includes Necklace, Earrings and Twin Bracelets and will be on sale for the next week...

Stay Tuned for more random sales, giveaways and holiday season madness...

Now back to the Prim Mines for ME!

In the Jungle...the Mighty Jungle...O.O

SL ... with the evolution of our grid and lifestyles, we are evolving across the grid. And just like the primal creatures we are, our fashion needs are evolving with it.  As such...we lift our heads to the moon howling for something FIERCE, primal and fresh...our hunger for something new calling to the skies of all content creators...

And sure as the day is long, Dahlinks & Miss A has NOT disappointed!

Introducing...The King Solomon Jewelry set!



Pictured above in the ebony and gold set (L$450), the King Solomon Jewelry Set is simply an astounding piece of jewelry. In case you're wondering who King Solomon is, you may want to go pick up "King Solomon's Mines" (book or movie). But long story short, it is believed that King Solomon's Mines held the most rare and most beautiful diamonds the world has ever seen.


I saw this set and immediately found myself standing in the heart of the jungle: drums, tribal music, wild animals and celebration around me.  I saw songbirds flying, gazelles and zebras running through the open land and felt like I was on safari the minute I slipped on the twin bracelets (L$200)!  The only thing I missed was Tarzan flying through the jungle to whisk me away...but I imagine that will happen after I buy set four *winks*



Marked with Ebony and Ivory pixelated tusks, and an EXTREME amount of detail, these pieces are available in four styles: Ebony & Gold, Ebony & Silver, Ivory & Silver and Ivory & Gold.  Pieces are sold separately or as a set. Bracelets and necklaces (L$250) all come equipped with a resizer script to make them fit your avatar just so!  Also available are the earrings (L$150) which I think are dynamic as a wear all their own ;)



Any way you combine this amazing set, you will definitely find yourself riling the natives into action and definitely catching quite a few head turns.  So be sure to stop by the new releases section of Dahlinks and pick up your copy today.  After all...Dahlinks is the 'Queen' Solomon mines of glitter...without the bling ;)

Ciao for now, kiddies!

We'll Be Watching...

Hello dahlinks!!

A little story:  from the very first moment I walked into Dahlinks, I always felt like there was something bigger there watching me; like no matter which way I moved...every movement I made would be seen.  Then I saw her: a woman, arms crossed looking down on me.  While the look on her face was stern and strong, I somehow felt ... protected, as though no harm would come to me.  So...I clicked to see what EXACTLY I was looking at (or more to the accuracy...what was looking at me).  Presenting...

Nazar, The Eye of Protection
The Nazar is a gem designed to protect one from the "evil eye" (see links on both terms to find out more). This gorgeous set can be purchased as a set or individually...offering you your very own shroud of protection from all things bad.  A sapphire gem, surrounded by a diamond chain, this protective set of jewelry is not only a conversation piece, it is sure to glam up any outfit and wow those around you!

The set is L$500, but you can also purchase the individual pieces at the following prices:
Pendant - L$150
Bracelets (L&R) - L$125
Anklet (L only) - L$125
Earrings - L$75
Belly Chain - L$150
Dress Ring - L$200

So definitely swing by!  Grab an eye of protection and just keep in mind...at Dahlinks...we've got you covered ;)

Ciao for now!

Such a heavenly body (of work)...The Celestial Set

Usually...I'd preface the introduction of one of Miss A's new sets with a back story, some witty banter or sharp lyrics (well...I think they're sharp...) to kind of coincide with the awesome that is her jewelry.  But...when I saw this set...I was stunned to silence (I know...right? Miss K don't get quiet! HA!!).  But seriously...this set...The Celestial Set ...


... is by far one of the most glorious pieces I've ever seen inworld.  It's breathtaking imagery and shimmer without the use of bling is sure to light up any outfit and make you shine like the heavenly creature you are! Available in either silver or gold on the menu, you can accentuate just about anything where you're wanting to draw attention to your hands.  With nine color choices (dark emerald, pink diamond, chocolate, blood ruby, ruby, sapphire, black diamond, purple sapphire and diamond), the possibilities are endless.

Now I know I should lead up to the full set (shown above and available for the bargain price of $750L), but I simply couldn't find a better way of showcasing each individual piece of the set without first showing you the big show ... and then each star that set up the constellation ;)



So...first up the Celestial Bracelets (L$300).  You get two bracelets (one for each hand) and each one both resizable and customizable. Perfect for Nekos who want to have that little bit of glamour but can't wear earrings or necklaces due to collar and ear restrictions.  Also wonderful for those of us who are into the D/S community and/or Gor in that you can get glittered up without bling and still prance proudly for your master :)


The Celestial Earrings (L$200) are a very interesting addition to this piece. Why you ask?  Well when you put them on...they are bodies all their own (LOL).  But with the handy dandy resizer script you can make these as small as you like. And with the convenient color change menu, any of 9 amazing gems as well.  These earrings are guaranteed to jazz up your jeans and sweater or make that high necked frock a star-studded attraction without overshadowing the main center of your piece...YOU.


And last, but not least...The Celestial Necklace (L$450).  Again, both resizable and customizable, this piece is elegant for wearing with a gown, or a tube top...or with nothing at all *wink*.  At a little over 100 prims (hand placed mind you), how can you not be a shining star in this wonderful piece!!




Alright kids...after blathering on all this time I forgot to mention...these pieces are sold separately, but can be bought as a set for the low low price of L$750!!  I know that may sound like a lot, but you're getting earrings, necklace and TWO gorgeous bracelets that when purchased separately are just plain more expensive.  And why do that to yourself?  So tell ya what...how's about we meet up at Dahlinks...new releases section off to the left and become one with the stars as we get all heavenly in the Celestial Set.  I guarantee...you'll love this body of work ;)

Ciao for now, kiddles *kisses*

We bangs!! We bangs!! Bangles that is ...

Wonder Woman had them to deflect bullets.  An 80's pop group inadvertently ended up with a moniker that glorifies these wonderful things and taught us in turn to "Walk Like An Egyptian" (who coincidentally also wore their namesake)... I'm talking about bangles and bracelets loves...and Miss A? Well she's outdone herself this time.

So get ready because heeeeere we go!

1st Up:  The Silver Heart Lock Chain Bracelets

Keep your friends close and your heart closer...
Hand assembled and tied together with a fashionable locked heart and chain to cinch it shut, this set is sure to draw attention to the most delicate of hands (especially if you're like me and talk with your hands).  At $125L, these puppies are a steal. And since you get one for each wrist, no need for silly reattachment points and adjusting....just pick the side you want.




Next Up: The Bali Braid Bracelet

Now...while I have never seen a female version of the Bali Bracelet IRL, THIS is a very beautiful representation of the classic braided bracelet.  Every prim handplaced, this item comes as a double-braided bracelet, available for both wrists so you can either wear both or one at a time.

Priced at $125L, this piece..is a steal!




Next on the menu: The Stacked Silver Bracelets w/ Heart Lock and Bali Chain

Can't decide between the two?  Why not get the best of both worlds!! The stacked version of these bangles stack and blend thin bangles mixed in with the bali braid bracelet and the heart lock bracelet. Priced at $200L you get about 4 bracelets rolled into one for each wrist. With a resizer menu, you just adjust your copy, delete the scripts and go.


More bracelets for you tomorrow sometime. Right now...this kitten needs a catnap.  *mew*

Much love from on the road!!

*NEW* Pearls and a Group Giftie from Dahlinks!! Yay!



Peaaaaaaaaaarls: be they wood, plastic, metal or rubber...nothing really sets an outfit off like pearls.  .  Who knew that something that basically occurred in nature as a defense mechanism for different mullosks would turn into such a valued and crazed over fashion trend?

Well...to whomever first thought it necessary to put these beauties in clothes, in jewelry and deem them as a necessary fashion accessory...THANK YOU *kisses*

That being said...take a gander at this gorgeous set of pearls!  Presenting Miss A's latest creation: The Wrapped Back Drop Pearl Choker (L$200).

This gorgeous piece of craftsmanship yield a hand-placed 5 strand choker of pearls that dangle down the back.  Perfect for a low-back top or just to add a bit of chique to a pair of jeans and a fun top, the wrapped back drop pearl choker makes the perfect accessory.  In addition, there is a colorful and gorgeous ankh that hangs from the front dying for attention, with its own optional on/off feature.  It's the perfect accent to this piece, but if you just want to rock the pearls...click on your necklace and opt to deactivate the ankh.

Aaaaand...if you're looking for that perfect set of pearls to wear all by their lonesome (for say...nude photo shoots *gasp*), I personally recommend the champagne and/or tahitian black.  They compliment the skin just so and are a shooting dream for that perfect centerfold/boudoir layout (*coughs* just a note for photogs...just sayin' *coughs*)


For L$200, these babies are currently available in:
 ~ gold
 ~ atlantis (sea blue - picture to the right *smiles*)
 ~ purple
 ~ blood (for our lovely vamps who want perfect pearls)
 ~ silver (seen above)
 ~ white
 ~ champagne
 ~ black silver
 ~ tahitian black (these look OMG...did a photo shoot in just these...*swooon*)

and...JUST for halloween...these pearls are also available in pumpkin orange and this set ONLY is available for sale at L$50 til the end of October.  So act fast!!

And...while you're at Dahlinks picking up your pearl necklace, you might wanna hit up their subscribo.  October's group gift is a dashing pair of pearl earrings that will seriously compliment ANY look, be it completing a set of pearl accessories or just wearing something simple.  Don't believe me? Have a looksie...they're to die for!!





I know I promised a bracelets post...it is definitely on its way...be on the lookout!!  Til then...I hope your Mondays start off fabulously darlings...much love and see you soon.

Dahlinks addresses the matters...of the heart *winks*

As I've turtled and essentially begun a change and healing process over the past month, I've let my duties as Dahlinks' blogger fall to the wayside on occasion. And for that...shame on me.  BUT...yessss there's always a but...sometimes, dealing with your heart [and all things attached to it] can be so beneficial that inspiration to write again comes from the strangest of places.  Instead of music leading me back to this page I've come to call my literary home and training ground, it was Miss A's line of new releases that brought me back.  So...without further adu...



Introducing the Jackie Heart Series!!  This set, named after one of Miss A's longest and most devoted supporters, is just one of many delicate pieces that Alex is designing this season. Each jewelry set uses a new menu system that allows you to not only resize and change metal texture, but also allows you to set the gem combinations (interior & exterior) separate from one another, allowing 8 possible jewelry combinations with each piece in each set.  You get: dangle earrings, pendant, dress ring and twin bracelets.  So at 6 pieces of jewelry per set, you get about 48 combinations! *gasp*

Available sets include: purple sapphire, pink diamond, ruby, blood ruby, chocolate tourmaline (god that sounds yummy), black & white diamond, sapphire and dark emerald.

Each set runs at L$650.  But let's say you're like me and it takes forever to decide what you want to wear, OR you have a fast-growing inventory and have no idea how you're going to remember all of the color combos let alone where you put them in your profile.  Then you want...the 180 color combo set!! Shown above, this puppy consolidates all of the previous packs into ONE necklace set giving you 180 (if not more) ways to wear this exquisite jewelry set.  And priced at L$2,500 it can be yours.  Now...I know what you're thinking: that's a lot!  But think about it.  You could go in and buy one set today, then decide you like it so much and go buy another set tomorrow and by week's end you'll have spent that and then some JUST on this set alone.  I suggest the ultimate fatpack version (saves you time and money *winks*).


Up next in the our hearts theme is the "Have a Heart" floating pendant.  Worn here by ... me *blinks* (holy crap...that's me (*lip quivers*) ... ALEX!!!! Next time let me know what I'm signing up for woman!! *ACK*). Ok ok...meltdown aside,  THIS fabulous piece of jewelry is a simple, yet elegant pendant with two metal options of gold and silver and with 9 gem choices, you can match this sucker to anything *smiles*.  Select from: dark emerald, pink diamond, chocolate, blood ruby, sapphire, ruby, black diamond, purple sapphire and diamond.  It's light, flirty and awesome fun to wear with anything...or nothing at all depending on upon your preference :P

At L$250  this thing is a steaaaaaaaaaal.


These items are now on sale in the New Releases section of the Dahlinks store aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...SHE NOW HAS GIFT VENDORS IN THERE AS WELL!! Yay!!  So you can buy a gift while at the store instead of logging on to xstreet for these particular sets.  Happy shopping to all!! Much love (and new blog coming about ... BRACELETS ... really really soon *gasp*)

<3 Miss K

Vivaaaaa Las Dahlinks!! Vivaaaa Las Dahlinks!!

"Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande"



These are the lyrics that the lovely Miss A claim inspire her latest design (which I'll tell you about in a moment). But when I saw the color options...all that ran through MY head was...


"Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire..."



Introduuuuuuuuuucing...


The Rio Carnival Showgirl Costume!!


After 9 months (yes...ish a baby!!) and weighing in at 1329 set-by-hand prims total (not just a baby...a big baby O.O), we present this wonderful piece of artistry to you, or wonderful family.


THIS is an outfit NOT for the faint of heart (or faint of prim ... as it were ... LOL). Handcrafted by Miss A's loving hands, this piece showcases a bountiful headdress, demi-bra, two wrist cuffs, earrings and of course...the eye drawing girdle.  Set with a modesty bra and panty that don't really need to be worn, this outfit will turn EVERY head it walks past. This is a showgirl outfit unlike any you have ever seen. One small note from Miss A:  in order to be able to tp, first use the resizer in the bra and panty prims to fit the pieces to you, then delete the scripts.  After this you can TP anywhere on the grid. 





Shown above is the Birds of Paradise set.  It is currently available for purchase with at the front of the store and comes in white diamonds (seen here) and Phoenix Blue (gorrrrrrrrrrgeous), seen below somewhere :P


Priced at L$1500 this bad boy is head to toe diamonds and the awesome.  I know ... fifteen hundred, Miss k??  Yus...but totally worth it!!


Especially if you head over to Dahlinks today.  Birds of Paradise is in its last day of the jewelry fair and if you buy it TODAY ... one half of the purchase goes to OxFam - a non-profit that is working worldwide to stamp out poverty across the globe. So who knew...shopping can make one feel so good?


Besides...when you slip into this yummy piece of walking art...not only will heads turn, you'll stop ANY show...so take a gamble...come on down!!


See you later dahlinks ;)  Oh ... and for extra ooh la la...here's a shot of this outfit in the Phoenix Blue O.O

Oh Come All Ye .... Dahhhhlinks!!

O' Come All Ye Dahlinks
Faithful jewelry lovers
O' come ye, o' come ye
To our....neeew...stoooore!!

Good morning everyone!!!  So today should be an interesting day to say the LEAST. A serenade of this song on repeat in a dream has got me up in the wee hours blogging once again.  Between this serenade from a rising star, THIS video from some group I never heard but I see their stars rising quickly and the all-star dreams I have on a nightly basis (Hi RedMan, Beyonce and Jason Mraz...O.o), I'm thinking it'd be "wise" have this blog lead me to a newly reworked arrival in Miss A's line: Silent night Evening Star Set!!

Released in silver this past Christmas, this glorious set of jewelry includes, earrings, bracelets and necklace all accented with a lovely round set to the gem itself.

Since so many people liked it in silver and Miss A got requests for a gold version, we now have this set (seen in sapphire and gold here; w/ the blood ruby version worn on Miss A) available in: blood ruby, ruby, sapphire, diamond, citrine, emerald, black diamond, champagne diamond, aquamarine, mandarin, pink diamond, dark sapphire, purple sapphire, blue diamond, dark emerald and choco tourmaline. The way the colors play off of the metal in it, you'll be sure to dazzle and outshine any star in this galaxy. Priced at $350L (not bad for a whole set, eh?)

But wait...there's more!!!

This wonderful addition is NOT available for sale. Look familiar?  Well only in that this belt is an evening star belt.  Three stars accent this beautiful chain linked belt as they hit your hip juuuuust right.  So you're wondering how to get it right?  Figured :P  You can join the Dahlinks group inworld (where this spectacular belt will be available for a little less than two weeks) orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...you can do the smart thing and join the Subscribo AT the store!!!  When you walk in, it's off on the left wall in the main opening once you walk down the hall.  Funny enough...the new releases room is ALSO on the left, so head in there and pick up this necklace set...and oodles of yummy new goodies!!

Here's the SLURL to help you find us inworld a little bit easier: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Acme%20Builders%20Inc/65/142/22. Now...don't forget the rest of the store as every item in Dahlinks is a star within its own right and you will most definitely find something to wear with EVERYTHING and a little something for everyone (even the men in your life *wink*).  Aaaaand...if you're on a slow comp and can't rez, but want to buy (or you want to get a gift for someone [Dahlinks Jewelry is non-trans]), then visit Dahlinks on Xstreet by clicking here

Alright kids...80's music has now drowed out the wee Justin Bieber serenade that's been playing in my head for the past few hours...days...whatever X.X...so this girlie needs to get moving. Much love and see you later...dahlings!! muah!

That's Miss K to You Buddy!!

After about two hours of tossing, turning and slapping myself while dreaming that I was a in a tropical rain forest off of the Costa Rican shore with Beyonce' and a cast of characters from otehr movies and shows (are there even rain forests there?), I figured if I'm waking up from hitting myself...I should blog!!

Photos? CHECK. Music playing? DOUBLE CHECK

So I turn on the radio and "That's Not My Name" comes blaring into my headset!! Now aside from the booty shaking that occurs on its own when one listens to this song, I remembered how often people mispronounce my name. It's KEY-LOW-LOW (or Miss K for the lovely Alex *smiles*)! And then it hit me! Photos, name mispronunciations...Miss A's nickname...CHA-CHING! NEW BLOG POST!!

Introducing the Dahlinks Initial Necklace (worn here by the lovely chief cook over at Dahlinks, Miss A - yeah yeah...I wanted K so sue me!).

This gorgeous chain linked necklace is available in letters A-Z and has color change options for not only the chain (I wear mine in silver, but there is a gold option), but also in ... color gems!!!

That's right! So not only do you get a snazzy one letter marker...you can choose from: Dark Emerald, Pink Diamond, Chocolate (YUM!), Blood Ruby, Sapphire, Ruby (regular color *winks*), Black Diamond, Purple Sapphire & Diamond.

At $300L this necklace is ensured to not only have people remembering your name, but possibly even singing it to the hilt as well!!

So head on down to Dahlinks to pick up your initial necklace today!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...because Dahlinks Jewelry is no transfer, you can always hit up Dahlinks' xstreet page if you're looking to purchase one as a gift (not available as of this post, but soon...). Take a look here for other great gifting options or just shoot a message on over to our lovely Miss A and she'll be able to hook you up toot sweet.

Now back to dreamland and rainforests...Ciao dahlinks ;)

Miss K...signing off *kisses*

There's Jazz In Them Jewels Baby!!



...won't you play me the jazz hot, baby
and don't ever let it end
i tell you friends, it's really something to hear
i can't sit still when there's that rhythm near me


Grab your tommy guns, your low waisted dresses, some pumps and let's rock this town!! Vive le 30's!! It's jazz time baby ;)

Introducing the Rose (pictured here in Black Rose w/ Champagne beads) & Jazz Baby headbands (not shown), both are a part of a series of Jazz themed headbands that offer two styles with 24 colors total spanning across the two.








You can get the 'rose' version (the rose itself is also available in golden rose, silver and white) or the jazz baby headband (which is accented with feathers and GORGEOUS).



There is also an emerald flapper headband w/ emerald jewels and feathers *swooon*. And priced at $150L you still get the opportunity to add more gems from the jazz series here at Dahlinks and put together one amazing ensemble.

Wait...there's more to the jazz series? Yup!!! And here are the pieces down below!!

Introducing the Jazz Baby Long Knotted Pearl Necklace (pictured in champagne). This piece is a classic line of long pearls double-wrapped at the throat with a knot that meets just under the bosom to accent not only it's length, but your ... decolletage as well.

Available in 14 colors, this lovely necklace can be worn with or without a set of pearl earrings, or coupled with a bowler hat (you'll see *winks*), orrrr the the Jazz Baby headband! At $150L you could also afford to just buy this, and wear it with a low-cut tank and jeans, wear with some gorgeous lingerie or go for classic and pair with a lovely gown or dress (as worn by the lovely Miss A in this picture). Trust me...this necklace is a lot of fun to wear. I should know; I have it in champagne.

Pearls not for you? Purrrrrrrrrrfect...

Miss A, looking incredibly stunning in her platinum blonde do, is wearing the Chicago Diamond Necklace, another soon to be instant classic. What I like about this piece is not only the way it cascades across the neck highlighting her collarbone, but it's simple..yet stunning!

You can wear this when going out to the club if you're looking for a little "bling" or you can really do it up fabulously with a gorgeous low neck gown or low cut top as these gems dazzle all on their own.

At $200L, this necklace is a steal!

Finally closing new items out for this blog, we have...

The Chicago Bowler at (pictured w/ black hair). Now I'm sure you're thinking to yourself "this looks familiar" right? Well it should!! This stellar recreation of a classic 30's style bowler hat will help YOU channel your inner Roxie Hart and at $250L you can tear up the town, and become the toast of all things 30's!

Pictured with black hair, it also comes with auburn and blonde hair. Not sure if these colors are for you? Come to the store (slurl here) and try them out...we have demos of the three hair styles for ZERO linden!!! Just meander into the new releases room, due left once you walk into the building all the way.

Alright, time to go kiddies...the prohibition waits for no one...and I've got my dancing shoes on. See ya on the grid!!
