Unicef Project ends TODAY -- Last chance to give at this great event!

The title says it all. 
The Unicef Project is a charity event benefiting Unicef's flood relief efforts in Pakistan.  Last I heard, the charity nearly reached its goal of $10,000, and by now, I'm sure that mark's been hit!  But this worthy cause could always use more, so please get down there on this last day of the event and shop/donate your little pixel hearts out!  Taxi -- Project Donate
Huge congrats to Truth Hawks, Sophia Harlow, Keira Seerose, and everyone else who worked so hard to make this event a success! 

Here are a couple more things I picked up the last time I was there!    And sorry - picture quality is still super low...  it's so embarrassing!!  lol

LOTD #7 -- Living Luxuriously...

I realize I may be the last blogger to make her way down to Designers United 4, but last night, I finally did it (and just in time, too)!
I picked up quite a few yummy goodies, but it was this fur jacket from Milk Motion that made me feel like a million bucks!  :)

C'mon.. you know you wanna hug me  ;)

LOTD #6 -- Cool breeze on my face...

I've been using my mother's laptop while she's away (and while mine is out of commission), and though I'm thankful to have something to use... the poor graphics on this thing are killing me (you can see just how pixelly everything is in today's pic, especially around the sweater and hair)! 
So, forgive me for now, while my pics are even lower quality than normal!  lol

And now, the LOTD -- inspired by the cool breezes that were blowing here today...  Cool enough for just that perfect light sweater!

"If you don't behave, I'm going to throw you out the window!"

This isn't my laptop.... but it soon might be!   :(

"If you don't behave, I'm going to throw you out the window," I growled to my laptop (with an expletive thrown in for good measure) just before it crash-dumped...yet again.
And so, after near-heroic efforts, including a complete reinstallation of Windows, my precious, less than a year old laptop seemed to be working - at first.  Then came the first crashdump... and the second... and last night, there were 4 right in a row!  So here I sit, taking advantage of the few moments I have before this machine craps out again, completely at a loss.

Just wanted to keep you updated as to why I haven't been blogging.  I miss it soooooo much!  I've been able to get some shopping in... Hair Fair, FLF, the new collection at The Dressing Room, and some super cute stuff from Fab.Pony... all waiting to be photographed and blogged about!
Hopefully soon!
Keep your fingers crossed for me, k?

The Dressing Room Blue.... made me blue?

No, not at all!  I loved everything there this time around (and, as always, 70L and under!)!!  Some of the pieces there inspired a darker look for me this time around,  though...  
I usually don't stray too far from red hair (since I'm a natural redhead in rl, and I wouldn't have it any other way!), but I just loved the way Truth's Aloha hair in Night (get it right now at Truth Hawk's Unicef Project) looks with Dekade's new skin at TDR Blue!

Ok... time for a good cry...

I'm crying because the Hair Fair isn't open yet... MUST get the new hairs from Ohmai!

The Unicef Project -- Starts NOW!!!

First off, before I forget, here's the LM to this wonderful project!  Unicef Project 
Also, I want to send out a Happy Birthday to Truth Hawks - the person behind the Unicef Project.  Thank you for having the heart to come up this event, which benefits such a worthy cause.
Ok, now the details --
When:  NOW - September 19th
Where:  the Project Donate sim
Why:  Because millions of people have been (and continue to be) affected by the horrific floods in Pakistan. 
What:  A sim loaded with donated items from so many generous and talented designers!  Some of the items are exclusive.  50-100% of the proceeds of each of the items is being donated to Unicef.  Donation jars are also scattered across the sim.

When I first heard of this project, I knew immediately that I wanted to be a part of it (in the very small way that I can be).  I live in the US, and here, it's almost as if one of the world's worst natural disasters isn't happening at all.  Because it's not occurring on our own soil, and no one from the US really vacations in Pakistan (as they do in Indonesia, for example), this crisis is getting a ridiculously small amount of coverage in the American media.  So here I am, doing what little I can to raise awareness.  Join me in spreading the word about this opportunity to help!

Now for the fun part!  Shopping!  I knew the designers would give us their tastiest morsels to sink our teeth (and our lindens) into, and they did not disappoint! 
Here's what I picked up!!
