I live for new skin releases! This new Stacie skin will be released soon (maybe Sunday?) at KA Designs. I’ve been blogging KA skinsf or a long time, and I think that this one is one of the best yet. The skin complexion is nice and rosy and the nose is slimmer than before. I love the luscious lips and the shape is very easy to work with on my shape.
Exile has just released the Giselle hair and it is adorable!! Giselle has a braided hairband and a side ponytail with a couple of smaller braids mixed in there. I have added a couverture mignonnette hair flower on the side, but any hair flower will do. If you love this hair, visit Exile! 🙂
Isn’t this new head by LAQ cute? This is the Lulu mesh head, which is great for users who want a more doe-eyed look out of their avatar. If you want to see how Gogo looks with this mesh head, just scroll back one entry or click here.
This head is going to be very kind to hand-drawn skin makers! Lulu is expressive and perfect for painted textures. It’s also wonderful for dollish skins and youthful brands. In fact, this head is so nice that I want to make more skins for it!
A note for skin devs: the creator’s package at LAQ’s store contains a lot of helpful UVs to help you make custom looks for this head, including eyelashes and teeth. There’s also a texture map that shows where the lipstick area begins and ends, so you can simply select the section and texture away.
Gala Phoenix (Curio) will be releasing released the June skins later today and they are so beautiful! Brunettes will love this release, because the brows are darker. Each June makeup includes light and dark skin, as well as two versions of the makeup colors. The body has also been updated with a bare 'down there' option, you'll have to try on the skin to see what I mean; it's perfect for bikinis!
Shown below are the GP – June skins in Sundust skin tone:
The makeups for this release are some of the best I've seen from so far. I love the variety of lipstick colors and yummy soft eyeshadows. There are a lot of makeups from this release that I would wear on a daily basis.
These are so beautiful I couldn't stop myself from snapping a bunch of pictures! I'm wearing the gorgeous Zaara 'Vishaka' Pink sari, and the matching Zaara 'Nizam Head Jewel' which will pretty much match everything at Zaara's shop.

All photos were taken at the amazing White Taj sim. I looooved these two sims so much, they're amazing for photographs. In this last picture, you can see the Black Taj sim in the background ~ both were inspired by the real life Taj Mahal build, in India.
Tp to Curio for Gala's skins.. you know you want to!
What I'm Wearing:

Stitch by Stitch has just released these darling Winterhorns! I love antlers — to me they’re like a headband, but much larger and more decorative. I’ve always hated neko tails or elf ears (no offense if you wear these, just not for me) but I love love love antlers! I love animal ears too — I’m just not very big on tails and ears that actually attaches over the avatar’s ears.

Every year, right before Thanksgiving, Black Friday deals start rolling in, both in real life and in Second Life. I always think to myself that maybe I should’ve bought less throughout the year, because by the time the sales arrive, I already have everything I wanted.
This year, I made a deliberate choice to buy slowly and only buy things I’ll actually wear right away. If you’ve been in SL as long as I have, you’ve probably bought everything twice or maybe five times already. I found the sweetest holiday accessories just by searching my own inventory. Most of what I’m wearing today isn’t new. Some pieces I bought years ago and never wore or blogged.
With how the economy is going in real life, even if you’re personally unaffected, it feels smart to scale back a little and get more joy out of what you already have or pick up items you truly want when they’re on sale, not just because they’re on sale.
The thing with Black Friday in Second Life is that it’s not that exciting anymore. Everything’s already on sale all year. Brands also exclude newer releases from the sale, sometimes the last three months of items, so there’s not much of a deal for anyone who shops often like I do.
I’m trying to have the longest Christmas ever in Second Life, so as far as I’m concerned, it starts now. The holiday season’s here, and I’m fully ready for twinkling lights and vacation.
My outfit today is based around the new My Yagu Jacket from monso. This jacket comes in Apricot, Brown, Red, and White. It’s mesh, and fits amazingly well.
Everybody can get their hands a special Candy Hearts makeup of the soon-to-be released Alyx skin from Pink Fuel for just $99L. This may be a limited edition, so be sure to grab it from now until February 18th! For now, this skin is only available in Honey tone, but includes all 4 brows colors.
So pretty!
it is pretty!
reminds me of a Bebae skin..
