I’m wearing the sexy new mesh Relax Boots from SLink today, and I wanted to pair it with something cute, so I chose the Sari-Kimono dress from Nylon Outfitters. I think the print and color on this dress is so pretty, but there are some major flaws with this dress that would make me not recommend it to a friend. The dress has bad seams running along the sides, and looks pretty unfinished and also, it’s a system skirt :( System skirts do not fit well along the waist (there’s a gap) and also when shadows is enabled, the shadow does not render correctly — for example, even though I am wearing a “short” system skirt, the shadow will show a long system skirt. I wish someone would make this dress or something like it in mesh!!
These new SLink Relax Boots are adorable and includes a HUD to resize, stretch Width and stretch Length. I stretched it along the length and width by just a few points to get a perfect fit. If you’re into mesh boots, check these out at SLink.
Four amazing new hairstyles from Exile released this weekend. I’m showing just the two for the girls, you’ll have to visit the Exile blog to see the boy’s hair. Also be sure to check out The Dressing Room Blue for two more inexpensive new Exile hairstyles.
Last week, I purchased these gorgeous fantasy eyes from Naomi Afterthought after seeing her sale info on Flickr. Four sets of eyes are included for just $100L – each set has a different style and 8 colors total.
While the iris size is large on me, I think these will work well for men (or people with larger eyes) and also a fantasy look, so the size does not need to be realistic.
If you want them, contact Naomi and send your payment in-world! These are not for sale on Marketplace or in-world anywhere (yet).
While sorting my inventory today, I realized that I have lots and lots of Donna Flora jewelry! I love this brand so much, and even though Donna Flora has clothes, hair, and shoes, my favorite items are the beautiful jewelry sets.
I’ve decided to sort through my huge pile and make a collage of 10 of my favorite Donna Flora necklaces. It was hard to pick just 10, cos there’s soooo many more that are equally beautiful.
I like Donna Flora cos every necklace is unique, and so realistic! Also, Valentine’s Day is next month, and I highly recommend Donna Flora if you’re looking for gifts for someone special. Everything is transferable :)
What about you? Where do you get your jewelry from? Make a collage of 10 jewelry pieces that you love from any single brand, or a mix of brands in SL! Blog about your favorite brand or make a collage, and submit it to the Blog Challenge group on Flickr. Be sure to share a link in the comments so I can check it out!
I’m convinced the gatcha machines hates me, so I rarely play them, or I limit myself to just a few tries. Most of my Pink gatcha items were given to me by friends with better luck. I loooooove the Rainbow Ohmai Ear Muffs that Stacie Pryor gave me and the Pink version that I’m wearing today, is from Willow Zee. Without Stacie and Willow, my avatar would probably be wearing some less desirable colored Ear Muffs.
I didn’t want to go with a typical Winter look, so I mixed-and-matched some stuff I already had in my inventory, and paired it with a fabulous pair of Survivor Boots from Redgrave (it’s new!).
What I’m Wearing:
Elikatira – Fresh (Blonde 05)
Zaara – Naina distressed shrug (Pink)
Armidi Intimizzio – Amore di Valentino Braziere (Sail)
Mon Tissu – Lou Lou Denim (Original)
Redgrave – Survivor Boots (Leather) Brown
Donna Flora – LIA ring, bracelet
RezIpsa Loc – Honeysuckle Pink, Nails
Ohmai Emporium – Pygmy Puff (Snow)
Ohmai – Ear Muff (Seasons Hunt Gatcha) Pink
Mesh eyes have arrived! To my knowledge, these new Mayfly mesh eyes are the first that I’ve seen on the grid, and it is wearable with your regular avatar, just like texture or regular prim eyes. I tried on the mesh eyes, and used the built-in scripted menu to re-size the mesh prim to fit my avatar’s eye and also re-sized the iris smaller.
I rezzed the mesh eye prim to show you what it looks like. As you can see, the mesh sculpt is shaped similar to your avatar’s eyeball, so the fit will be perfect (and not different from your regular texture eye). It’s really easy to wear, and does move naturally with your eye.
These are some of my favorite colors from the Mayfly (Deep Sky Eyes) series. Grab a free wearable pair of demo eyes at the main store if you want to try these eyes!
I noticed right away that the mesh eyes have more texture clarity than the regular texture eyes. Of course I still love some of my favorite texture eyes, but this is new and pretty cool! Also, you can wear two different eye colors, too.
When you’re at the store, be sure to buy the smaller prim that’s labelled “Buy Mesh Prim Version of Above Eye Color” for the mesh version — the top one is just the regular texture eyes!
Magic Nook has some new Peppermint Candy Mouthies! Each Red or Green candy flavor comes with No Script / Open Mouth / and Open Mouth + Smile animation. I also used the free AnyPose Expression HUD to add ‘close eyes’ too.
I’m not wearing anything today, except the new Mesh Towel (with 10 poses included) from Glitterati.
SQUEEEEEEEEEE! BOOM has the cutest assortment of Petal Ear Muffs for the Seasons Winter Gatcha event. Be sure to check out the undefined lilies gatcha machine too, for some adorable fur ball faces necklaces.
Dance, dance, dance! The new Quadro Dance HUDs from Animazoo is packed with original dance animations and so many features to make dancing in Second Life fun and easy!
I have been playing around with both of the HUDs — the Quadro Ladies Dancefloor Edition, and the Quadro Stage Performer Edition. Each HUD is packed with 35 of Animazoo’s bestselling dance animations in various dance styles perfect for hanging out at the club or performing on stage!
For the videos below, I recorded more than 40 minutes of footage cos the HUD is packed with so many dances, but I edited them into two short videos. The video probably shows only 10% of the dances that are available in these HUDs, so definitely visit Animazoo and try it out for yourself!
The Lite version of the Dance HUD (has basic features only) is also available at the store for free, and you can put your own dance animations into it.
Do you love to dance? What’s your favorite shop for dance animations? Leave me a comment cos I’m looking for new ones to create new dance sequences for my HUD!
A few months ago, I saw this fantasy avatar blogged on RYXX and thought it was so cool! I put together a lil’ Dark Valentine/Devil Doll look and found Ms. Kitty LaLonde to pose with me cos she had the avatar! YAY :)
One of my favorite Disney movies is Beauty and the Beast and so I put together a cute outfit to contrast the beastly Niramyth Daenotaur avatar.
Awwwwwwww! My av may have found herself a new friend. If this was a pet in SL, I’d buy one to follow me around when I’m shopping.
My outfit is a combination of several things that I layered together, to create a ‘new’ outfit! I’m wearing the Incanto Red Bra from Fishy Strawberry, and layered the Ignition Lingerie set also from Fishy Strawberry, and added a sculpted prim corset from TheAbyss. This corset is quite sexy, and the body portion is a texture layer (like a tube top) and includes a sculpted corset top and corset bottom. The fit is amazing. I can’t seem to take my new Alex shoes from G-Field off, so I kept it on for this post.
Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I have a couple of ideas that I hope to be able to put together soon, if I can find all the stuff for it. Hope you guys like this one! Costumes are not just for Halloween, I love dressing up year round!
A couple of days ago, I saw this blog post and thought to myself, that is one gorgeous male avatar. I liked his Nico skin from Birth a lot, and also the AJ hairstyle from Exile is really awesome.. and I shamefully, dusted off one of my male avs and copied his look! :D I’m not terribly original with my male av, but I wanted to challenge myself and make a complete male av this time, with ao, too!
So thank you, Mister Klaber, for the inspiration.
When I’ve dressed up my male av in the past (for vendor ads), I’ve always looked at Bronson Twine’s blog for the latest in menswear. I found this yummy Redgrave shirt from one of his posts, and headed to RG for more goodies. I bought the Polo Shirt, Pants and Sneakers at RG and finished off the look with a new Ultimate Cigarette from Hermony. I’ve decided that my av is a smoker, but he’s trying to quit. It looks cool on him, though! I have a really old cigarette from FKNY, and now Gogo wants a new ciggy too.
My Plurk and Flickr friends have all said that this looks like boy Lady Gaga or a woman in drag! Hmmmmm…. I want to make him manlier, I just don’t know how. I think Oz (that’s his name) is ok with being smaller than most men on the grid.
Overall, I’m happy with this look and my next one might be tackling beachwear! Cos he does hang out at Juicy, after all.
I really don’t want to out my alt’s name, but I’ve had people pose as bloggers for JuicyBomb before, sooo… all you need to know is his name is Oz, and hes 3+ years old. He’ll never approach any designers cos he does not blog here and will never ask for review copies.
Note: On the first picture, I noticed the collar wasn’t positioned right after I had already cropped the images! :( Sorry for the obvious fashion fail! Oz is not a very good fashionista.
It’s never too early for some Red and Pink! I’m wearing the new Incanto Lingerie in Red from Fishy Strawberry! I loooove my FS lingerie, they’re my go-to for sexy lingerie sets.
I really hate PS’ing my pics and hardly ever do it, but today I fixed my leg a bit cos the pose made an awkward break/dent in the upper thigh. I’m not a PS expert (not even good) so this was a quick sloppy fix with a lil liquidfy. For some reason, I wanted to fix just that area, but I’m OK with the sharp edge on the torso.
Do you guys care if my pics are not touched up? I know I could PS avatar joints to smooth them out, but I think if I’m showing a pose…. I should show it honestly. Btw, the left pose is from Glitterati Family, included with the Bear and the right pose is from POSEUR, Lil Minx 9.
The new Collabor88 collection from The Sea Hole is irresistible. I’m a sucker for a nice parasol, and there are several prints to choose from! There are also matching skirts & tops to choose from, but you can also mix-and-match them. My only gripe about this parasol is the built-in Umbrella Hold animation does not have a closed fist, so it looks kind of weird when holding the umbrella with the hand being completely spread. Nevermind! I’ve just discovered that MY pose overrides the hand animation in this, oops!
I’m wearing the matching Minna Blouse, and Heron Skirt, both in Dusted color. I’ve noticed that the skirt is NO MOD, even though in my inventory, the skirt prim is (no transfer) and the pants is (no copy). The top also has (no transfer) sleeve prims and (no copy) top texture. I wonder why The Sea Hole chooses to have mixed perms? It’s so confusing. Can I make copies of this outfit? Or can I give it away? But neither is possible due to the mixed perms!
I wouldn’t have worn this outfit at all, if I didn’t like the parasol so much. The skirt prim is one sculpted attachment, it doesn’t move very well in some poses, and also since I couldn’t mod it, I had to mod my body to fit. Despite all of the ‘flaws’ the whole look together is nice if you can make it work.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Elly (Honey) Pure/nolash (ltbrow)
Milana – Bonnie (Roots)
The Sea Hole – Parasol (Dusted)
The Sea Hole – Minna Blouse (Dusted)
The Sea Hole – Heron Skirt (Dusted)
Hucci – D’Ann Pump Exotics (Newport)
Fishy Strawberry finally releases some rigged mesh items, and they fit spectacularly! I’m wearing the Impromptu Cardigan (mesh) and I just love the plunging cleavage. This cardigan comes with an attached Brown or Black belt option.
I’m pairing the cardigan with new Moto Pants, also from Fishy Strawberry. The leather texture is amazing on these pants, and it comes with sculpted prim cuffs.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Petra w/ Roots (Champagne)
Fishy Strawberry – Impromptu Cardigan (Mint) Brown Belt
Fishy Strawberry – Moto Pants (Hunter)
Mon Tissu – Sloane Pumps (Chocolat)
LaGyo – Garska Earrings (Gold)
&
LISP – Pose and Play Piano
Comments are now fixed! I must have broken something on the site a few days ago, and all the comments disappeared along with the comment form. It should be fixed now, so comment away! :)
I just wanted to attempt a ‘sexy’ picture today cos I hardly ever do those and I don’t think I’m very good at it. The pose and couch I’m posing on is the Justified Couch by Glitterati (out now!) with 10 built-in poses. For 2012, I will try to do more fun pictures/posts and not just ones showing off outfits or new releases all the time.
I use WordPress for my blog, and I have this awesome plugin called Jetpack installed that keeps track of my site stats and other useful things. Today I noticed that the plugin had generated the 2011 Annual Report for my site, and I just wanted to share with you guys!
Big huge thank you to all of you (readers) and also top 5 commenters (Alexxandra Sorbet, Vianne, Ellie, Mina Bergiere, and Lisanna! (No URLs were given for Vianne or Ellie, but if you want links next year, be sure to include your URL when you comment! Even a link to your Flickr or social media account would help the plugin identify you.)
The Velvet hairstyle from Truth is so cute, and the roots texture really works beautifully to enhance the side buns! This hair also comes with two hair bows scripted to color change, but I’m wearing it with the bows turned off.
I love the Wing Ding earrings from undefined lilies, I’ve been wearing it for four days! These earrings are adorable and comes in Gold or Silver with clean (no gemstones), or Green, Pink, and Red gemstones.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Velvet w/Roots (Champagne)
Pink Outfitters – Poppy Sheer Chiffon Blouse (White)
Mon Tissu – Stitched Thermal White)
G-Field – Flower Pumps “Eve”
Donna Flora – Misty Platinum Ring
LG Femme – Ulyana Belt (Pompei)
This is my 344th post this year and also my last for 2011! I’ve had so much fun blogging SL fashion this year, and I hope you guys have also enjoyed reading my blog.
Milana is the hair store that doesn’t release very often (once or twice a year only) but I love it when there is a new release! I’m loving these new flowy long hairstyles, they’re so cute in these hair colors above. I tend to wear too much Platinum hair colors, so I’ve been trying darker Blonde shades and even Light or Dark Brown. My friends seem to like Blonde Gogo more, but I must say…. Brown might be a permanent 2012 thing :)
