ISSIGONIS skins has just released version 2 of the Sayla skins and they have been updated with more ‘shine’ all over the body, a perfect look for bikinis and Summer outfits. I love the face on these, they’re young and cute.
Sayla2 has four eyemakeups, different lipsticks varations in each skin tone, and two brow options.
This is the Sayla2 in Medium skin tone in pink and deep red lipstick. I think this tan color is really great, because it’s not too dark and looks great with lighter hair (like Blonde!).
Momo has just released these great new DewDrop tutu-ish outfits in a bunch of colors and they include a 2 options and comes in all layers. You can wear it as a suit or as a cute belly-baring top perfect for tattoos or belly rings!

Meet my new pet everybody! The Steampunk Squirrel Companion from Ohmai is adorable!!! I looooove this lil’ guy, and his adorable aviator. There’s also a human sized pair for your avatar! YAY. I will wear mine everywhere.
This Pastel Teal hair color from Exile is stunning! The entire Pastels texture collection is really gorgeous, reminds me of frozen yogurt. I am wearing the Dream of Paradise hairstyle, it’s so regal and perfect. This amazing new Metal Corset Dress from Katat0nik is a departure from her usual Kawaii-inspired style, but I love it! This is so beautifully done and unique! I also love the matching Metal Bow!!

Djinn & Tonic has just released two very interesting designs. These two dresses are different than dresses you would normally see around the grid. I really like the colors on the Death of a Lover dress, but the Mask (traffic light headpiece thing) is kind of too out there for me to wear. However, I think the whole outfit would be really great for fashion photos.
Death of a Lover; Roses, Noir & Roses, Scarletta
To be considered ugly. (this is the name out the outfit, not my opinion! I think it’s very cute.)
This dress has a great lace pattern on the skirt and pretty roses on the collar piece. I imagine that Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican painter, might wear a dress like this.
As you may have heard, Skin Fair is open! I made a new petite and doll-like shape, for the newest Alyx skin from Pink Fuel. Last year, I released a shape using a special edition of the Alyx skin, but this new Alyx skin has been updated with new features and new makeup! If you want a new petite shape to complement your Alyx skin, visit Juicy Shapes!
All Juicy Shapes are copy/mod and includes a style card.
Are you tired of me starting every post with Blackout August? Well, it’s day 22. The original creator of this challenge, Imogen Aurelia, deleted her link on Flickr and kept part of it on Facebook. I’m not even sure she’s still doing the challenge herself, but I’m pushing through. I’m determined and almost at the finish line. What this challenge has shown me is that I’ve been selective for a long time, so while it started out kind of painful not being able to instantly grab that new hair I wanted, it also revealed that I don’t actually love everything made in SL, and I don’t need to have it right away.
For today’s look I dug deep into my inventory and remembered how much I used to love a brand called M.Birdie. I don’t think it’s open anymore, since the store’s Flickr is gone and the SLurl in the designer’s profile leads nowhere. I liked this store so much, but most of my items from them came through gacha events. Everything I have is made for Maitreya, but I managed to wear it with LaraX because this top is roomy and I used the alpha layers. If you still want this top, even though it’s at least seven years old, you can still find it on the Marketplace. If you know what happened to the M.Birdie store, let me know in the comments.
When my friends heard I was doing this challenge, they gave me tips on how to cope with not shopping. One of them said, “You could go spend store credit.” Which is true, I could, if I even remembered where I had store credit. The truth is I don’t want loopholes, I want to go without. I’m still blogging for a few brands and new items are hitting my inventory often, so I don’t feel completely deprived. I decided to sit out on promoting much of it this month, but that doesn’t mean I can’t promote it later. The great thing about Second Life is that when brands create items, they can keep selling them for years as long as the quality is good and people still want them. There’s this constant push to buy new and wear new, but I think that actually does brands a disservice. A dollar earned from a new item or an older one is still a dollar.
If you like the idea of Blackout August, you can start any time. Wearing items you already own shouldn’t ever feel like a betrayal, and it won’t make your favorite brands think less of you. They probably won’t even notice.
stunning! <3
Where is the hair from?
