OOpS Design creator Emilie Susanti makes cool Brit punk outfits, and it’s so cute and artsy looking. I’m a lazy fashionista… I don’t really mix-and-match often, so being able to unpack and just “copy and wear” is totally awesome! The Oops Brit Punk & Oops Music are so Avril Lavinge (yes I know she’s Canadian :P).
If you bought a LeLutka Simone Bento head, how do you like it? I love it of course, but I’m still waiting for some of my favorite skin brands to release skins. I am wearing an older Lara Hurley skin today, and the fit is pretty good, except for the lips. I’ve noticed that most of the older LeLutka appliers that I have fits okay around the face but the eyes and lips are slightly off. I wore a lipstick applier over this skin and changed my lip shape, but I still want a skin made specifically for the Simone Bento head. It’s difficult to get a unique face when we’re all wearing the same two skins.
I almost never use Omega appliers, cos one size does not fit all. I prefer makeups and skins made for a specific head cos the fit is so much better. And Omega script is slow, so to me it should be a last resort. It is frustrating when a skin I like is not available for my head, but I would rather wait for one that does instead of buying an Omega skin and hope that it works alright. Have you tried your Omega skins on this head? It does not work.
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka Simone 2.0 Bento Head
Truth Hair – Irena (+Hat)
Foxes – Party Dress
Blueberry – Show Time Coat (Angel)
Ingenue – Anja Heels (Creme)
I just adore this Wisteria headpiece from LaGyo! This item, along with the Paisley necklace, and some other jewelry pieces, will be available at Culture Shock [direct SLurl to LG Concept]. I rarely ever wear this color, so it took awhile to get dressed today, but I think I’ve managed to put together colors that works well together.
While I was wearing all of these, I thought the Green and Lavender really went well together, but now I think I look like a Grape, LOL! A very elegant and sweet Grape, though!
The Cannes Halter Dress from Leverocci is so sweet, I just love this style. I’m also wearing the Amanda Handbag and matching Mary Jane Pumps, all from Leverocci, so go check it out!
Most people know this iconic line from Gone with the Wind, but have they actually sat through all four hours of the movie? If you haven’t, you should at least once. Scarlett O’Hara isn’t exactly likable, but she was a survivor, and that’s probably why she’s remained such a memorable character all these years later.
I recently rewatched Gone with the Wind to get in the mood for photographing my current obsession from this round of The Arcade.
My friends were absolutely gushing over the Monique dress from PurpleMoon, and of course we all wanted the rare Floral version. With the right styling, it looks like something Scarlett herself might have worn while dramatically descending a staircase at Tara. As you all know, I have a weakness for period-inspired fashion, so even though the print does remind me a little bit of a floral sofa, I was willing to overlook that minor detail. The gloves are a lovely touch, and I’m even wearing the matching heels underneath the dress, though you can’t see them in these photos.
I normally don’t pay much attention to gacha these days, but once in a blue moon I’ll keep playing until I get exactly what I want.
Speaking of that famous line, let’s circle back to it for a moment.
The thing amusing me this week is watching some designers encourage other creators to drop support for LaraX, while also suggesting customers should simply switch bodies instead.
This dress is made for LaraX. I bought it because it’s made for LaraX. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have.
I’ve never switched mesh bodies just to wear a particular outfit, and I probably never will. If something isn’t made for the body I’m using, I move on. There is so much talent in Second Life that no single brand is irreplaceable.
Until something better comes along, I’ll continue wearing Maitreya LaraX. It does everything I need it to do. It’s funny to me that there are still residents happily wearing system bodies, yet some people act as though using a mesh body that’s still one of the most widely supported on the grid somehow makes you outdated.
I’m not resistant to change. I’m not afraid of trying new things. I’m just not interested in switching to something that doesn’t offer me anything better than what I already have.
It was Lexi who tagged me on Flickr to do the SL Bare Face Challenge; challenged accepted! I don’t usually wear lots of makeup, so it’s a hard task to bare my face even more, but I did so by taking off eyeliner, using smaller lashes, etc.
Shop Free*Style is open! Teleport to the 1st level or 2nd level to shop for items ranging from $0L-$50L. I’m such a fan of the Free*Style blog since it’s inception years ago. Free*Style had a free shop at Juicy sim for a few years, and at another place, but I think it went away for a while. I’m happy that the shop is back in-world! All of the items are not FREE, but they’re inexpensive and will give you a sample of brands from all over SL.
I’m wearing this gorgeous Alena skin (in Vanilla tone) from Pink Fuel, sold at Free*Style Shop for $50L! For fans of the Alena skin, you definitely want to stop by and pick up this unreleased skin.
✿ cheLLe ✿ has two eyeshadow packs for $50L each, that’s half off the regular price! The Dramatic shadows can be layered with each other, or with other cheLLe shadows. I’m also releasing a more muted version of Mermaid shadows, called Mermaid II. This Mermaid II set includes tattoo lashes on the shadow, hope you guys like it! 🙂
The makeup packs will be exclusively available at the Free*Style shop only (not at cheLLe or on Marketplace).
