Bella di Notte has just released the sultry Nadja skins. Each skin tone includes a light and dark brows option, and 10 sexy makeups. I’m wearing the Light skin tone with dark brows cos I love the way it brings out the eyes on this skin.
The body is very well done on this skin, and I especially love the perky (but natural looking) breasts shading. If you want to see more, visit Bella di Notte!
Truth – Billie | Neve | Odette
I moved to a different city this weekend, so I was pretty burnt out and didn’t blog for 3 days. I’m getting back into it now that I’ve finished unpacking a lot of my things. YAY!
Truth released three adorable new hairstyles, I’m sure you’ve seen it worn all over the blogs this weekend. My personal favorite is Billie, cos SL doesn’t have enough hat+hair(styles).
LaGyo – Little princess deer (group gift) | King deer | Queen deer rings
JuicyBomb readers are so sharp! In my last post, I wore the LaGyo rings and you guys pointed out that the ears were gray. I thought it was a deliberate design thing, but when I asked Gyorgyna Larnia about it, she said that it was a temp-texture issue, so oops! on that. I got a replacement, and re-photographed the rings with the proper textures showing.
What I’m Wearing:
BOOM – I Promise (cotton candy and white) coming soon

Furniture used:
What Next – Laurel Bedroom Collection
Truth – Lucia (color-changeable hair band) | Teshan
Hello SL! I downloaded the latest SL Mesh Dev Viewer just to use the depth of field feature that was available a few months ago. Right away, I noticed that they have added a radio button to toggle DoF on/off, so that’s awesome. I looooooove DoF, but for some reason ALL SL viewers have been crashing me tons lately, ughhh. I had to shoot these images smaller resolutions (about 1100 x 1000px) to avoid the dreaded “line” going through my images, but as you can see, DoF is pretty amazing.
*Important tip: If you install the Mesh Dev Viewer, be sure to select the correct grid before logging in. Ctrl+Shift+G (to bring up the Grid Selections) and you want to select AGNI (main grid) and not any of the other beta grids.
(Raw shots from SL – focusing background and foreground, very easy!)
People who are good with Photoshop can do these effects on their own, but if you’re totally lazy like me, the built-in DoF feature is the perfect choice. I am crossing my fingers that this will be released on the official client soon. At this point, I would even trade Avatar Physics for DoF, as I think it will be more useful to me, for fashion photography.
Ohhhhhh, and check out new Truth hair! So adorable this week; perfectly girlie, just the way I like it.
What I’m Wearing:
Laqroki – Linnea (Fair) Light Brows – 03
BOOM – Infinity Pin Stripe Bikini (White)
Glitterati has just released this set of 10 ‘Profile Photo’ poses, it includes the pink Phone prop too! I’m pretty sure everyone is familiar with the head-tilt, arms outstretched pose you do irl when you’re snapping pictures for social networking sites. I think these are brilliant for SL, especially fashion bloggers. If Gogo had to pick one pose, I’m sure it would look something like the one above. Hello, Vanity! *click*
Ow, neck cramp (but still hot!)
I’ve been seeing these Akeyo KnittBoots everywhere, so I wanted to try a pair for myself. The HUD is incredibly versatile! You can change size & change colors for every single component using the color-picker. I played around with it, it’s super easy to use. I love customization, they’re so worth the money. These will match anything you want to color-match it to!
My only gripe about these boots is that they’re WAY huge out of the box. I had to resize using the HUD, but once I resized it, the foot was way too big for the new smaller size. I had to adjust it a bit, and lower the socks so it won’t show too much. That’s all, a small fix but.. hmm, I wish it was resize friendly.
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka – IFElight-makeup6 (D Brows)
Exile – Gossip Girl (Dusk)
Fishy Strawberry – Harder Tee (White/Black)
Fishy Strawberry – Dirty Sidewalk Mini (Black)
AKEYO – KnittBoots
* Glitterati – Profile Photo (poses+phone)
Hello! I am at the Amazon River, it was on the SL Destination Guide so I thought it might be pretty cool to visit. It was alright – a bit underwhelming cos of the default library plants (you can see some of it in my background). I’ve seen better jungle river sims and fewer naked avatars running around.
My outfit today is really laid back and inspired by the sea. I’m wearing a new Julia jewelry set from Donna Flora. Designed and created by Squinternet before she passed away. I feel really sad knowing that new Donna Flora releases are unlikely, but happy that she had a few surprises left in her inventory. You can get the jewelry set at Fashion for Life. Did you know that your support keeps the Donna Flora sim online? Buy jewelry for yourself. Gift jewelry to your friends.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel Skin
Exile – Perfect Promise
Teefy – Gianna Off Shoulder Top (S) Anchor
Teefy – Layla Wrapped Skirt (S) Sky
Ingenue – Lola Heels (Sand Stripe)
Donna Flora – Julia (Necklace, Earrings, Ring)

Happy Thanksgiving!!
I’m going out of town today to visit relatives but I will be back tonight, and hopefully doing some massive shopping in SL! See you guys then!
I first stumbled upon Al Vulo last year, when I saw their skins on the SL Marketplace, but it didn’t impress me enough to want to blog them. Recently, I gave Al Vulo another try, and I’m blown away by the progress, and the adorable face. Here’s a secret for SL skin designers – as a customer, if I’m in love with your skin’s face, I will buy it. Having both a fantastic body and a gorgeous face is a winning combination, but many SL residents will simply “love” a skin for its face.
With DoF | Without DoF
I photographed this skin with Depth of Field turned on, but I made sure to focus on the face so you guys can see it nice and clear. As you can see from the image above, the difference is very subtle and the only area that is blurred is the hair, and some of the neck area.
I confess, I’m addicted to DoF now, so if there’s any ‘blur’ it’s probably due to my using DoF and not the skin itself.
I’m wearing the Elena skin, in Sunkissed tone. I tried both Pale and Sunkissed, and decided that Sunkissed was much warmer and better for photographing. I thought the Pale tone was too pale, though it is lovely, I am not usually that pale in SL, so I went for the darker Sunkissed tone instead. I do think this skin needs a “Light” tone option, something that’s between Pale and Sunkissed, cos that’s typically “my” tone of choice as it works with both light and dark hair colors.
Like I said at the beginning of my post, a gorgeous face sells. This skin is gorgeous, the body could use some improvements — but it’s not bad! Each skin pack comes with 6 makeups (2 versions of each, so really, 12 total), hair base, natural and cleavage versions too.

LeLutka – Amanda 3 hair (Bournville)
Kungler’s Extra – Perolas (Golden & Abalone)
Wow! Being a bit of a skin freak I thought I knew all the best designers in SL (surprisingly few) but just checked out these skins and they are gorgeous. Beautiful and very moody! Thanks, once again Gogo, for bringing it to our attention. Seriously recommend x
