These new SLink Marina Boots are FABULOUS. I needed something tall, shiny, and mmm sexy spikey heels to stomp around the grid. I’m wearing Pink, Black, and White, but there’s also Bisque, Red, and Ivory.
These boots practically goes with everything with a slightly shiny texture, but I’m pairing it with my beloved latex outfits from Hugo Designs! Latex, it’s not just for bitchy dominatrixes! You can pull off a pretty cute look in Pink 😛

Color choice is incredibly important. The right colored item can draw shopper’s eyes from across the room. It can make a person go from merely considering a purchase to pulling the trigger on the transaction. A shop can make the most beautiful mesh on the grid, but if the color selection isn’t on point, shoppers can overlook it.
Every season experts from the Pantone Institute, whose expertise crosses an incredible breadth of fields, decide what the Pantone Color Forecast will be. This palette informs designers, from fashion to interiors to graphics, on what colors everyone will be embracing in the coming months and years. It is a trendsetter from which everyone can take new color queues.
Color palettes may not seem that important, but they help to unify the color story of a season across all brands and media. If a store falls out of step with the color story, their items stop matching up with other brands. This can become problematic for shoppers. A shopper might find the perfect purple dress, but no matter where they go, they cannot find any accessories to match. Why? Well perhaps the dress designer is offering a greyed out purple while many other designers have embraced the more red based purple that is part of the new color story. Unified color stories are why shoppers can go to many different stores and still manage to find items that work well together.
But, matching isn’t the only dilemma that can arise from failing to follow color trends. Sometimes picking colors from palettes several seasons ago can result in an outdated look, even if the mesh is spectacular. People unconsciously associate colors which have gone out of trend with dated looks. Missing a color trend change can make a collection less appealing.
Why do we need our colors to change? Well, cycling through different variations of each color keeps our palettes fresh. If everyone has been using a very greyed out purple and all the sudden creators re-introduce a red based purple, shoppers will find the difference refreshing. This new purple is different from the purple of the past few years. It all the sudden has a freshness to it. Yes, that purple has always been in existence, but we have not seen it in a good while, so it has regained its appeal. This cross-industry rotation of colors is important in keeping colors fresh and exciting to our eyes.
Following color trends is by no means an imperative, but it can really help the appeal of creator’s lines. It can keep designs looking fresh and current, and keep shoppers buzzing about them. I know I always get excited when I find an item in the perfect color that I didn’t even know I was longing for. Color trends are what keep us loving color, and keep us excited about what will come next.

Happy weekend!! Exile has just released two gorgeous new hairstyles. The Layla is a casual hair with a middle part and tons of layers all around. The Jane is very similar to Layla, but has a scripted beret that changes 18 different textures! Whoa, right? It will match tons of outfits in your inventory 😛
I love the UnToneQuilt 'Charcoal sweatdress' so much, I thought it was perfect for a lazy Saturday morning. People always ask about this whenever I wear it, I wish the creator would make more colors!!
My photos were taken at the wonderful Malt sim. Khea Karas has a cute little tea room with pretty decor and it's a great place to relax. If you like it, come visit the tea room!

Hello from Reiri! I have always Japanese city sims; they’re always packed full of small shops and photogenic nooks. I like going to replicas of real life places in Second Life, do you?
Now that I have switched my mesh head to Genus, I’m trying out skin brands that I normally don’t wear. I found this Zara skin from PUMEC at The Epiphany. PUMEC skins only have 6 skin tones, so it can be limiting for those who are especially picky about tone. I usually pass them up for this reason, but I thought this face is super cute on me. The skin is made for the Genus Classic head, but I made it work with Baby by pairing it with the Silky Shine lipstick applier from Pink Fuel.

Welcome to the Helios Casino & Lounge. Linden Lab created a roleplay casino experience in Second Life where residents can play the games with free daily tokens. When the tokens run out, residents can buy more with Linden dollars. But wait a minute, I thought casinos were banned in Second Life? Well, they still are. The Helios Casino is a fake casino where you can spend real money to buy tokens and play games to win coins that you can’t cash out or convert back into Linden dollars or real money.

Now that the new LeLutka bento mesh heads have been out for a week, do you have a favorite one? I am wearing Spencer. I have noticed that the nose tip is longer on these new faces than on Chloe or Simone. I like the Spencer skin from Glam Affair, so that’s probably the reason I chose to go with the Spencer head and not the others. To me the heads are similar, so whichever one you choose, just edit them until you get a look that you love.
I stumbled upon the La Haciendita home from Ionic a few weeks ago. Of course it was a gacha, but after many tries, I finally got it! I knew it would make for some pretty awesome photography, since the open layout allows a lot of natural light to shine through.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – No Promises
Blueberry – Berrydoll Dress (Opaque)
Ingenue – Katrine Heels
League – Floral Rocks Necklace
Le Look is giving out free items to complete a whole male and female avatar, starting today. All you have to do is join the Le Look group in-world, and teleport to the Le Look sim and touch the item to receive it. I’ve tried more than a couple of times today, it was incredibly laggy and really hard to get the items! Maybe my computer doesn’t have enough specs to handle the crowd — but yah, I never received all 4 of the items: 1 Belleza male skin, 1 male shape, 1 LeLutka female skin, 1 shape.
Thankfully Minnu is awesome and sent me the Estelle v2 skin so I can show you guys here!
I looove the new brows on Estelle 2, especially the light brows one — a totally new set of eyebrows and it’s gorgeous. I can’t wait to see more makeups for this Estelle v2 face!!
Good luck getting these from Le Lag.. er, Le Look!
hi Bech, the outfits are old; but it’s still pretty good. I don’t really keep up to date with Latex stuffs, so if there’s nicer stuff than these, let me know! 🙂
I wore it cos the colors matched the boots.
Oh, I just got reminded of my own pink/black Hugo Design latex suit.. But aren’t those old? (white/pink on your photos) Or it just feels like it, heh.
I love the beigey coloured boots off to the right & hope to get some. Have you seen latex clothing that comes in this particular shade?
I actually don’t think there’s so many latex outfits that are better than those. At least many look way too eh, latex or just too tacky but those are perfect :}
I figured I would return to see if anyone has replied. I see that Slink has some latexy-looking clothing. Have any of you tried them yet?
I wore these heels and the black latex for my boy friend The next day I was pregnant
