Four new hairstyles from Exile! My favorite style is Nymph cos it’s so much like Barbie’s hair, and the bangs are perfect. Steph has a color-changeable hair bow that can be turned off (I have it turned off in the picture above).
Redgrave releases two awesome new products this week of the same name: The Sakura skins, and the Sakura hair!!! The Sakura skins are lovely and comes with 13 different makeups in Pale and Tan tone. The Sakura hair is a short curly bob with 3 different colors! Below I’m wearing the Brunette, and it’s only $150L per color. This hair is cute as can be! I won’t be taking it off for awhile.
I woke up late and didn't make it to the Lelutka show, but I am anxiously waiting for the grand re-opening!!! More London skins, here I come! I'm wearing the LondonSunkissed-makeup4b, a slightly darker tone than I normally wear but it's perfect for a beachy look! The hair is 'Erin' from TRUTH and fantastic Stone Bead Choker from Sable Rose by Rosie Barthelmes.
Visit Sable Rose, a new shop to me but their line of necklaces are really cute!
Bijou released this dress a few days ago that I knew I had to have, I love the feminine flower print and fantastic one-piece sculpted skirt. I wanted to wear this gown with an updo hairstyle, and then I spotted the new Emmanuelle hairstyle from Exile and they go together perfectly.
Here's Exile Emmanuelle hairstyle in a bunch of colors, it all looks good!! I had a hard time deciding which was my favorite. Even though I'm normally a Blonde, I thought the Strawberry hair color is really excellent and went well with my new Green eyes.
Ooooh, but I like Brunette too…
What I'm Wearing:

The only thing on my calendar this weekend is the Spoonful of Sugar Festival. This event raises money for MSF/Doctors Without Borders, and I always admire the designers who donate their time to causes in Second Life, especially the smaller or lesser-known charities. Every year I look forward to SOS because some of my favorite creators are part of it.
This year it feels like a lot of people might be skipping the festival. The Seraphim mention didn’t include a gallery, and even SOS’s own website doesn’t have one. That made shopping a little tricky, but I went straight to the brands I love such as Izzie’s and Alaskametro and found some great things. There’s even a gacha area if that’s your thing.
Pro tip: Keep an eye out for a bowl of sugar if you want to grab some L$20 bargains from participating brands.
Izzie’s – Age Yourself (BoM Layers) – Left: Bare skin | Right: With face wrinkles added
One of the highlights for me was Izzie’s new Age Yourself set. Wrinkles and aging looks seem to be getting more popular in Second Life, and honestly, she’s scary good at transforming skins. The set comes in 50%, 70%, and 100% opacity layers so you can blend the wrinkles with your current skin.
I also picked up the new Soft Brows from Alaskametro. I never use the brows that come with a skin, so I’m always hunting for new ones. These are the perfect thickness, and they looked great when I tried them on. The only thing I wish is that they came with a HUD so I could play around with the opacity. I like layering BoM brows under LeLutka HD brows. On the left you can see the light colored brows, and on the right the tinted ones. You lose a bit of detail when tinting, but it’s fabulous that the option is included so you can get the exact shade you want.
Check out the SOS Festival, show your favorite brands some love, and support a good cause while you shop.
Cold weather is upon us and even though our avatars can’t really feel the brisk cold air, I still think it’s very cute to dress up in coats, boots and scarves!! The latest release from LeLutka is the Trisha coat and it comes in dark rich colors, perfect for pairing with Winter accessories.
This coat includes the AO version with several standing poses, a sit, walk, fly, hover, etc.
If you are familiar with LeLutka clothing, you’ll know that it’s made for rather thin avatars. I had to modify my shape a bit to reduce thickness and gave my av smaller boobs to fit this coat properly. I could have stretched the prims but I’m kind of lazy when it comes to this stuff, so shrinking my av was the best solution — all the coats will fit, without having to mod dozens of prims.
Elikatira released five new pairs of shoes! There are two different styles of boots, two flats, and a pair of pumps. I’m showing three of my favorite styles below; they have gorgeous textures and I love shoes with heels!
elikatira – Secret Boots
elikatira – Live Boots
elikatira – Move Pumps

You’re totally right about Nymph. That is definitely Barbie right there. I wonder if Exile realized that while making it!
I bought it and made a total knock-off Barbie avatar. Fluorescent pink and all. Ha!
