December 2009

Alright…… my last fashion post of the year. I’m so happy it’s SKINS, because that’s probably my biggest obsession in Second Life.

&Bean

( &Bean skin vendor — cute display! )

The new &Bean skins are so cute, they’re more hand-drawn than the skins I normally wear but I really like how the skin came together and I like how it looks on me. Each skin includes freckles/no freckles, and 3 brows version. I’m wearing just the Bleached Brows and Small Brows below:

&Bean

&Bean

Each skin costs $1,000L or $8,000L for a fatpack of 10 skins (so you get 2 extra if you buy the pack) but I bought 3 cos these are my top choices. They also happen to be the first 3 makeups – One, Two, and Three.

&Bean

If you join the And Bean group in-world, this gift skin is FREE.

&Bean 'Pillow'

I’m wearing a couple of things found @ the Designers United 3 event — the Ohmai ‘Dorothy Corsetted’ top in Vintage Mint color, and golden accessories from LaGyo. I’m TOTALLY obsessed with the LaGyo ‘Hand Binocular’ I might permanently wear it everywhere in SL!

Here’s a close up:

LaGyo

What I’m Wearing:

&Bean – Pillow Light (One, Two, Three)
Truth – Reese (Swedish)
LaGyo – Hand binocular (Designers United 3 event)
LaGyo – Old Watch Necklace (Designers United 3 event)
Ohmai – Dorothy Corsetted VINTAGEMINT (Designers United 3 event)
LeeZu – Brit Pants (Silver)

Juicy Poses - New Years Gift!!

Happy New Years everyone!!!

I made the Wasted Fashionista pose set two years ago when nobody had “wasted” poses to use for some fun post-party pictures. I’ve re-uploaded them with a slower ease so they will look smoother when you play them in-world.

They’re totally FREE at my shop from now until Midnight January 2nd — so come and grab them! :)

Thank you everyone for your support and have a fun, happy and save New Year’s!!

Is my avatar too short?

by Gogo on December 30, 2009

in Fashion, What I think

Nardcotix

I love ball gowns but when I put them on, the skirt is often much too long for my avatar. Is my avatar too short or are designers making these gowns for taller “model sizes”? The height script thing says my avatar is at 5’11 and even taller with heels on.

My suggestion to dress makers: please make your skirts for Short and Tall avatars! Provide two lengths so I don’t have to mod the skirt myself. When I tried to resize the skirt for the gown I’m wearing here, the sculpted bustle disappeared into my torso, so I had to drag it forward and modify the bustle parts to fit. It’s not too complicated, but it would be nice if it just worked right out of the box, cos there are lots of people who would find this simple task difficult.

This is why I don’t blog ball gowns more often, cos the skirt annoys me. A couple of brands are just my size, but some of them are made for avatars with Amazon proportions.

Nardcotix

P.S. I’m wearing the Nardcotix ‘Ella English Victorian Gown’, it’s very pretty! My friend Wilma saw me wearing this and asked if I was taking pics for a Disney ad, lol!

BAX Leather Belt

BAX belts

BAX belts

BAX has just released these sculpted leather belts and they’re scripted to change so many individual parts! Each belt has 3 colors scripted into the menu.. for example, the White belt has Pink, White and Off-White included. The belt is also scripted to change the metal to Gold or Silver, and change the buckles to any custom color you want. And if you like glow? You can set the glow intensity too!

If you own a pair of BAX boots, you’ll know just how much scripting goes into BAX products. These leather belts will match the Prestige Leather boots perfectly. <3

I’m paring the BAX belts with some darling camisks from PanJen.

THE Lillie Leotard is a great excuse to prance around SL in SLink’s Jolie Pied Barefoot (I’m wearing the ‘High’ tippy-toe version). I looove it! It took me awhile to match the skin tone but I think I did a pretty good job! Can you tell where the prim feet starts? I’ve recently purchased a new monitor so I’m still getting used to the new colors, so if my feet are WAY off, please tell me!

Veschi is Back!

by Gogo on December 27, 2009

in Fashion

Veschi

Veschi is back! After a long hiatus, Alla Ruff is back with a new main store & tons of new releases. One of my favorite items from her new collection is the No Strings Attached Jacket. The jacket includes color-changeable strings via a menu.

*warning: don’t use the ‘revert’ button in the Options menu!!! Since the jacket is no-mod, I decided to resize it using the menu, but when I wanted to start over, I thought I would ‘revert’ and try it again. BUT, when I used the ‘revert’ option, instead of reverting the SIZE to original state, it reverted the texture of my White jacket to BROWN.. agh. I purchased a new one to replace the original (but I did send a note card to let Alla know about this issue..). So caution.. don’t use that button! It’s bad.

Veschi

I’m at the LeLutka sim snapping pictures today; usually I don’t stick around too long when here to shop, but the sim has great architecture and is a really cool place for ‘shopping in the city’ type photos.

Veschi

This is the Lemme Borrow Yer Bag Grandma! bag in Berries  (Gold) from Veschi. I like that it includes 2 versions — one for your hand (with a shorter chain) and one for your shoulder. Both are scripted with a hold animation.

Veschi

Visit Veschi!

What I’m Wearing:

LeLutka – Estellelight-makeup6(L Brows)
Boon – ZGO223 hair blonde
Veschi – Lemme Borrow Year Bag Grandma (Gold) Berries
Veschi – No Strings Attached (White)
LeLutka – Mo hot pants /white
BAX – Prestige Boots (White Leather)

Fishy Strawberry Lingerie

by Gogo on December 26, 2009

in Fashion

Everybody looooves lingerie! Fishy Strawberry should be your first stop these days if you want complete lingerie sets with tons of options. I love gowns and casuals and everything in between — but lingerie might be my favorite category of clothing. Why I love lingerie… 1. it’s sexy 2. works with most poses 3. lower lag than other clothing items (and still sexy!).

I’m wearing three new Fishy Strawberry lingerie sets below:

Fishy Strawberry

Fishy Strawberry – Ignition Lingerie (worn with corset & garter)

Fishy Strawberry

Fishy Strawberry – Ignition Lingerie (worn bra & belt)

Fishy Strawberry

Fishy Strawberry – Marshmallow Lingerie

Fishy Strawberry – Polka Tulle Lingerie

My Pink Shopping Spree at LeeZu

by Gogo on December 26, 2009

in Fashion

During Christmas, I went on a Pink shopping spree at LeeZu to get away from all the Red/Green colors. I was pretty happy LeeZu carried so many Pink items, and they all have a Princessy feel to them!

LeeZu

I especially love this LeeZu Courtisane Lingerie set in baby pink — which can be worn with a flexi skirt or without.

LeeZu

A couple of weeks ago, one of my friends really wanted to find a nice wedding gown and we looked at all the major brands in SL but couldn’t come up with anything that was just right. I think there’s a serious lack of fun wedding gowns in SL — but you can probably use one of LeeZu’s gorgeous ball gowns as a wedding dress or mix-and-match it with other items for a totally unique look. This is the gorgeous La Vie En Fleur dress in baby  pink, I fell for it at first sight because the texture is beautiful and the dress is so versatile, you can wear it 3 different ways!

LeeZu

As a ball gown (sculpted skirt + flexi skirt worn together)

LeeZu

Or as a simpler gown (just the flexi skirt worn here) or as a simple body suit.

The La Vie En Fleur dress comes in various colors and there’s even a matching hat (sold separately) *note to self: get the hat!*

Last but not least, I’m a sucker for baby pink  short dresses and this La Vie En Fleur dress has a very mod look to it — it goes perfectly with the Lydia hairstyle from Truth (with a color changing headband).

LeeZu

I tend to get carried away with Pink colored things, but I know that if I get any other color.. I would still be obsessing about the Pink. LeeZu carries tons of colors, so whatever you’re into, you’ll probably be able to find it there. Visit LeeZu!

What I’m Wearing:

Gala Phoenix – Petal [Dark] Elf-Happy Holidays
Truth – Lydiah (Swedish)
LeeZu – Courtisane Lingerie /babypink
LeeZu – La Vie En Fleur Flexi Dress /babypink
LeeZu – Viela Flexidress /babypink
BRILLANT – Pearl Set (Pink)
Nardcotix – Absinthe Stilettos (Pink, Gold, Silver)

Back in March, I featured Zooby’s Baby Chris on my blog and lots of you guys either love it or you were unsure.. but I have to tell you, even though I don’t play SL families, I really really am fascinated with the Zooby’s line of baby products because they’re the best Lindens can buy — the Rolls Royce of SL babies products.

Zooby

When I rezzed my Zooby Baby a couple of days ago, it prompted me for an update. Since I haven’t seen my baby in a couple of months, I still had version 1.0 but the update sent me a version 3.1! The baby includes even more features and the scripting is more efficient (less lag). All Zooby Babies have free updates forever — I.love.that!

Zooby

I haven’t been to the Zooby’s Babies store in forever as well, so I decided to go have a peek and see if they have any new releases. The last time I was there, they had released their final baby (I think it was the Vampire one….) but I had been waiting for a stroller. I was beyond excited when I saw not only strollers, but carriers, swings and a whole clothing line!!!

Zooby

The store is so posh!!!

Zooby

Zooby

I have the pink Baby Girl bedroom set for my baby, and I noticed that the crib and changing table had been updated to version 2. I upgraded from my version 1 because version 2 is scripted to allow more babies to interact with the furniture — and the changing table now includes a *great* animation sequence! You really have to demo it to see the quality of this product.

Zooby

How can you tell if your changing table is scripted or not? The version one does not have the mat or trash can — so if you have one of those, do upgrade! The new version is much more fun.

Zooby

Check it out! My first virtual diaper change! I called my baby to the table, via the super easy to use menu, and stood on the mat to start the changing process. Everything you need (diaper, wipes, powder) is all included in the table.

Zooby

I was on a decorating high so I went ahead and built my baby a new bathroom. The Bloom bath set has a scripted bathtub that includes bathing animations and accessories.

Zooby

Baby’s first bath! Bath time fuuuun!! The animations for the ‘Mommy’ is adorable!!!

Zooby

Bubbles! I looooove this Bath set. All Moms in SL should have one, it’s loads of fun. If you know someone in SL that is pregnant — get them a Zooby Baby and Zooby’s Babies items — I know I would totally want these if i was. They’re the best in SL.

Zooby

I wanted to show you guys the carrier, swing, and stroller, but I’ll feature these and more in part 2 of this post… til next time! Visit Zooby’s Babies at the new Zoobyville main store!

Let’s be Hucci

Hucci

The Hucci ‘Plush Lounge’ suits are so cute and cozy!! I have  been eying some suits like these from Juicy Couture irl, they’re perfect for this season. I’m pairing them with the matching Hucci ‘Plush Jewelry’ set — I looove that the keys theme and the keys are also repeated on the suit for extra matchy cuteness.

*the Plush Lounge top also includes a Cropped version.

Hucci

These are the Hucci ‘Crushed Bodysuit’ in Rose and Black. These bodysuits includes matching gloves, they’re ultra sexy. I have no idea where I would wear it but I’m thinking they would go great with fishnets and maybe bunny ears.

Visit Hucci on the new Hucci sim!

Catch Lily, LeeZu

by Gogo on December 23, 2009

in Fashion

LeeZu

Catch Lily is a newly released dress from LeeZu! I’m wearing the Beige color, but there are several to choose from. The Catch Lily dress includes flexi and non-flexi versions of the skirt and two skirt types (I’m wearing the regular skirt, but the BabyDoll style is a slimmer fit).

I pretty much like everything from LeeZu, so check it out if you’re looking for something cute to wear.

Truth

Truth has just released 4 new hairstyles – 3 are for women, and 1 for men (or unisex). I’m wearing the Anise (headband is color-changeable!), Noah, Nela and Melody in Swedish blonde.

I’ve been thinking I should probably start wearing more hair colors.. other than Blonde and Browns — what are your favorite hair colors?
