A Tiny Bird Told Me...

So after I posted my post about the new price of Truth hairstyles, I noticed that I wasn't the only one who wrinkled their nose when they learned that. Since I have been tight on my SL budget, haven't really bought any hair from Truth. Went once to try and pick up some demos, but i crashed before I could and since then never really gone back. Now, I'm not boycotting Truth. I just like to get more for my money. Hence why I reminded myself that there are many hair store out there and some who sell their hairstyles for less than 250L$. So, for this post and the next one, I'm gonna talk about about the two stores that I know and love AND sell their hair at a price under 250L$. Truth is still very affordable... when you buy one or two hairstyles. My motto is "More for my money". Hence why I ADORE 50L$ Friday, but I digress.

So, store #1 is Tiny Bird. The first brown hairstyle I bought was from the designer of Tiny Bird, Autumn Hykova, back when she her store was called Pixel Dust. She had two hairstyles based on Hermione's hairstyles from the 4th movie and since I was RPing at a Harry Potter roleplay sim, I thought it would be appropriate... and also because Hermione is my fav character.

Anyway, I think that what makes Tiny Bird different from the other hair stores is that you mainly find short/shoulder lenght hairstyles. The longest hairstyle I've seen there goes just below the shoulders. The hairs are mainly made out of sculpties, very few flexi prims (except for the hairtyle that goes a bit below the shoulder), but since the hair styles are short, it doesn't really matter and the hairs are still fantastic.

The regular price for a pack of 3 colors is 175 L$. Even better, Tiny Bird takes part reguralarly to 50L$ Friday. So if you're not the type to stick to one hair color, it's a pretty good deal, but she usual propose 3 colors.

I just bought "I and Love and You" and I'm totally addicted. It's short, cute and wavy. It comes with a holly that attaches to the nose. If you have prim eyelashes attached there, attach the holly somewhere else and have "fun" adjusting it (attaching it to Nose 2 is not better).

So, for today's LOTD, I decided to go with an artilleri outfit that I think I got at the Gnubie Store, but not sure. Anyway, if you like retro and rockabilly stuff, it is the place to go.

Oh, and also, before I show you guys the pic, just wanted to let you know, for the ones who might have been wondering, that my best friend who I thought didn't want to be my friend anymore is still my friend. Let's all celebrate buy shopping!
