Did you guys know that finding a couple’s pose that works with a big ball gown is not an easy task?! I looked all over, and settled on a pose from Mela’s and two from Essential Soul.
Today I’m wearing the gorgeous Sparkle Skye ‘Holiday Princess’ gown in Ruby and Gold. Like other Sparkle Skye gowns, this comes with several skirt options – Aline Gown, Ball Gown (I’m wearing it!), Day Dress, and Tea Dress. The matching rose head piece is included.
Aw… posing! It’s to show off the gown and not take advantage of my male model, I swear.
And dancing! I love flexi skirts, they’re great for dancing.
Sometimes an older skin just fits better with the look I’m going for, so I wore my beloved Gem skin from LeLutka. This was released in early 2011, so it is older but not too old, yet! I have 3 favorite brands that I like to switch between, but I try not to wear the super old products (nothing 2010 and beyond).
How old is too old for skins? Do you stop wearing your “favorite” skin after some time has passed, or is it wearable for as long as you love it?
What are your top 3 favorite skins (or skin brands)?
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka – Gem/HUSH-Makeup8/LBrows
Exile – In The Meantine (Vanilla)
Swallowtail – Flower Crown (Blue)
Hello from Fantasy, the latest Linden Homes theme. This theme is lit, LOL. Everything glows here, and it’s easy to see why it can be too intense for most people. If you want something “not suburban” then this theme is for you.
I didn’t plan on getting a Fantasy home, but I will probably keep one for a while and see how it goes. The interior of the homes is quite nice, with big windows and spacious rooms. If you want to live together with your friends, it’s easy to do so here, cos entire regions will release together. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET A FANTASY HOME.
The new Ariella skin from Glam Affair has me absolutely thrilled! This beauty was featured in the Saturday Sale for just L$75 for the fatpack, and it might still be available at their main store. One of the things I truly appreciate about Glam Affair is their commitment to keeping their blog updated with the latest product releases. While their Flickr is a great resource, it doesn’t always showcase all the new offerings, so having a blog I can rely on is fantastic. Many brands have shifted away from blogs and are constantly hopping between social media platforms, but I value consistency. My main SL shopping catalog has always revolved around Flickr, but it’s nice to have that backup.
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with Glam Affair’s recent skin releases. The shading is much softer now, and the skins have a beautifully smooth finish that I can’t get enough of.
On another note, I’ve been wearing the Nysia Aviator Jacket from ISON, which is also part of this weekend’s sales events. Unfortunately, I can’t recall exactly which sale it’s in, as it’s not yet up on their Flickr at the moment I’m writing this. What I love about this jacket is its versatility; you can customize the colors of the jacket, shearling, and sweater. Plus, if you’re feeling a different vibe, you can turn the sweater off and layer it with another shirt underneath. I’m all about roomy jackets that offer mixing and matching possibilities with other pieces in my wardrobe. Happy shopping!
I really like being surprised with gifts like this, even though I have no space for it in my house. I’ve decided to make a spot for it on my beach, right on the grass. I think it’s perfect here. My island has tons of furniture outdoors cos I haven’t found homes for them, so I try to blend them in with the landscaping.
All the poses seen below are built into the tub. There are lots and lots and lots of them. I love it!
This is the Bittersweet Creek Double Slipper Clawfoot Bathtub from Alchemy’s Attic.
I’ve been taking full advantage of the ISON 40% sale before it ended and indulging in some weekend sales too. One of the treasures I picked up is the gorgeous Alayna Silk Shirt from ISON, and I couldn’t resist getting it in all the colors. It’s simply stunning! I also grabbed these adorable Fluffy Kitty Ears headband from Litterbug at Truth’s store. They add a sweet touch to any outfit.
Lately, I’ve been creating a bunch of bright EEPs (Environment Enhancement Project) for my blog. I like adding shadows, even though most Second Life residents aren’t fans of them on their faces. For me, shadows cast by the sun in studio lighting really make the fabric of the Alayna Silk Shirt stand out, even if it doesn’t feature any PBR textures.
During my visit to Shop & Hop, I picked up an amazing gift from Moon Amore. The Bride’s Dream Gown I found is perfect for fantasy or royal cosplay themes, like something straight out of Bridgerton.
For the past few years, I’ve made it a point to pick up the AO gift from BodyLanguage SLC. There are always a few great poses to mix into my regular AO. This year’s entire AO impressed me; it has all the basics you need to avoid standing like a noob. It’s perfect for your main avatar and great for alts too!
