Take Me There

I don’t usually log on weekends but I had some time today and I decided to play with this pic that I’d procrastinated from blogging during the week.

I love this new skirt from Baiastice that was released for The Boutique. It comes in lots of different prints and colours, mostly floral which are fab for spring and also this brown suede effect, as well as a teal version. The suede texture is really detailed and it was so easy to build a look around this skirt.

The shirt and waistcoat are both recent releases from Ison and are easy enough to layer so long as you wear a bigger size waistcoat over the shirt (I’m wearing the M waistcoat and S shirt). The shirt also comes with a colour change HUD so you can get 3 colours for the price of one, which makes it an easy and staple purchase.

I love this hair that LOQ released last week and I’ve been wearing it for days. You can find it at The Dressing Room Fusion, although it is not discounted, but it’s a really relaxed style that is simple to dress up or down.

The picture was taken at a sim that I stumbled upon some pics of on Flickr, it’s really beautiful and I’d definitely recommend visiting, especially if you’re looking for a pretty place to snap some shots!

I had a little lol moment to myself earlier today when I was working on this pic, just because it’s such a huge contrast compared to the one I made yesterday. And ok, it’s not my normal style but it’s fun to dress up when something like World Goth Fair hits the grid!

The skin I’m wearing is new Jalwa and can be found at the Goth Fair, along with the eyeshadow layer. It comes in the usual tones but also includes a vamp and goth shade (I’m wearing goth) which are just perfect for that dark look. Also includes hands and feet appliers for the SLink attachments!

The top I’m wearing is new from Baiastice and can be found at The Boutique. It comes in lots of different summery colours as well but of course I’m wearing black for this style. It’s a halter neck with ties at the back and I might have to blog it again at some point to show that off because it’s really very striking. The bangles I’m wearing I picked up at Teefy last week for Fifty Linden Friday, but they’re usually still in store now, just a bit higher in price.

The head piece is something I picked up by Glam Affair at The Dressing Room forever ago, seriously about a year ago, but just hadn’t had a chance to wear yet. I do this a lot, buy things when they’re cheap just in case I need it one day and low and behold, today was that day!

I’m still wearing Ikon’s new Vanity eyes, I absolutely love them! The variety in colours that Ikon provides is easily the best on the grid for me, everything from super realistic to fantasy so you’re never at a loss!

Oh and the hair, it’s an old style from Elikatira which I’ve worn a couple of over the last few weeks and lamented about how sad I was that they were closed, but I recently found out that actually the store is still open with all the hairs at the sale price! I have no idea why or how long that’ll be for but if you missed the sale then now is a great chance to grab those hairs!

Pin Up

There have been so many great new releases the last few days it was hard for me to know where to start. So I mixed a bunch of things up for this post!

First of all these new jeans were released by Tulip. There’s two versions, your regular blue and grey shades as well as coloured versions. I’m wearing the blush shade here and I love them! They’re a great staple item for your SL wardrobe.

The Liason Collaborative started a new round of The Boutique today and I can’t tell you how beyond excited I was to see these Spring Fling sandals from LVLE. They come in several summery shades and are made to fit with the SLink bare mesh feet. I love that more creators are starting to make shoes around them and I hope that it opens up the market to other designers who might have great shoe ideas but don’t want the hassle of making the feet too. Especially now that we have the appliers for the SLink feet, just adding a pair of shoes over them is the perfect solution to all my skin matching woes! Anyway I love these sandals and I’ll defintely be sporting them a lot this spring/summer!

Yesterday Truth released SIX new hair styles for us to spend our Ls on, there are new colour packs available so make sure you grab a demo for those as well! Truth also started a model search competition that will run until the 1st of June. You can read all the rules and info on the prizes here in the competition Flickr group. I love this retro style Sadie hair so I decided to do something of a pin up style entry.

Anyway that’s me for today, hope you’re enjoying your week and good luck to everyone who enters the competition!

Isis

I wore part of this jewellery set yesterday in a post but I love it so much that I thought it deserved a close up too!

It’s called the Isis Solar Magic set, by Maxi Gossamer at C88. The set comes with lots of different length necklaces, so you can mix and match combo’s, for this picture I just decided to wear them all! It includes a matching pair of earrings and you get both the gold and silver versions in the set. Like lots of Maxi jewellery the stones are scripted to colour change, the possibilities are endless!

I’m also wearing Truth’s first mesh clothing, this bustier that you can find at FaMESHed. I’m excited that he’s started to make clothing and hopefully we’ll see more in the future! I topped it off with the new Lelutka Adile hair and switched my skin to Jalwa’s Sonam, for a more exotic look.

Finally my last piece of new is the Vanity eyes from Ikon, they’re so dreamy!

Spring Showers

Look at me, two posts in one day! I needed to make up for my absence so I figured why not.

I love days like this, where it’s warm outside but it starts to rain, I call this “sexy rain” when you can umm, sit, outside on your balcony in your summer clothes and just you know….listen to the rain fall.

Anyway, I mixed up a bunch of new releases for this outfit. The top is actually the new dress from Drift, but I decided to wear it as more of a sweater with the new jeans from Tutti Frutti. I love the soft knit texture on the dress, it’s perfect for spring days, and the cloud texture for the jeans is just that little bit different to make them stand out.

I added the new Isis Solar Magic necklace from Maxi Gossamer that was released at Collabor88 today. I’m absolutely in love with it, the design is so unique and it has lots of colour change options as well as coming in both gold and silver. The umbrella I picked up at C88 too, which was one of Yummy’s offerings for this round. The little neck scarf I’m wearing is from Baiastice and you can find it FaMESHed, it’s a great little accessory that you can mix and match with lots of outfits.

Yes, I’m still wearing the new Scarlet hair from Lelutka that was in my post earlier today coz well, I really like it!

His Clothes

Yes I know today is the 8th and Collabor88 opened but I felt like doing something different so, I went to The Mens Dept instead!

I’ve been wanting to dress up in some mens pants for a little while, and I tried out these biotech pants from Fruk when they were first released a couple of weeks ago, then I got sidetracked and it didn’t happen, but when I saw the purple version on special (150Ls) at the latest round of Mens Dept I knew now was the time! I liked these specifically because the suspender attachment made them just a little bit different, it’s a separate mesh piece so you can choose to add them or not. And ok, they weren’t a perfect fit for me because well, they’re not made for women. I had to edit a teeny tiny part of my hip that was jutting through the mesh, I’m sure I probably could have made that go away if I’d fiddled with my shape a bit more but I didn’t wanna get any skinnier, especially since the M size I had to wear already made my behind look pretty big in comparison to the rest of me, so I edited that a little bit too. Wearing them with a long mesh top would be easy but if you’re a girl and are gonna try out mens clothing, you must, must, must, demo before you buy them to make sure it’ll work.

I added the worn baseball cap from Deco that’s at The Mens Dept too, coz it’s pretty unisex so I know I’ll use it a few times and it fitted perfectly over the new Lelutka Scarlet hair. And just so I felt less naked I wore this new tattoo from Traphouse Collective.

Anyway, I really must get on with some more shopping, so many releases I missed over the last few days!

Told You

I’m going to be disappearing off into the magical world of RL for a few days, but I didn’t wanna go before I showed you guys this cute new denim top from Drift! There are several belt options available, I’m wearing the brown here just coz neutrals are my thing the majority of the time. The plunging neckline gives a nice dose of cleavage, but I was trying for a more modest country girl look so I paired it with this lacey top from Nylon Outfitters. I added the new Baiastice necklace from FaMESHed to top it off!

Just a quick note about this picture, I’d say I take about 75-80% of my blog pics at in world locations and sometimes when the mood takes me I’ll take a green screen studio shot and edit in a background. That was my plan for today but as I had almost finished editing my avatar and was thinking about what kind of background to use (honestly, I really had no idea, I tend to make these things up as I go along!) I remembered a place in world that would’ve been perfect, the Post main store. So I kicked myself coz I coulda just taken it there, but I decided to go over there anyway, snap a pic and then edit it in as the background! Obviously I like doing things the long way round but I think I might even start taking some stock background shots in SL and using them for when I’m making this kind of pic.

Oh and! I know it’s kinda naughty of me to wear hair that’s not available anymore, but I love this one and I’m legitimately sad that Elikatira is gone
