Second Life Fashion

Silent Sparrow had a hunt to find elephants stuffed with limited edition of the Selador outfit in various colors and sold for $350L each. Isn’t it lovely? The great thing about this limited ed. set (there’s only 50 of each color sold), is that it’s transferrable!!

I rarely ever rave about system skirts but this is just so perfect and slimming! I love the options that came with this outfit – there are two full prim skirts, a system skirt, pasties, the Selador top has the option of being worn ‘open’ to show pasties or with a shirt for a more modest look.

I’ve decided to give this outfit away to JuicyBomb readers! All you have to do is submit pictures of yourself to the JuicyBomb flickr group, the theme is ‘WINTER’ interpret that however you want. It’s super hot right now where I am, and the pattern on this set reminds me of a snowflake. I hope you guys play along, the outfit is darling! I hate to part with it, but I wanna pass it on to someone who may have missed the hunt. I’ll select my favorite picture and send you the outfit. It’s that simple! Contest ends May 1st.

What I’m Wearing:

Gala Phoenix – Petal [Dark] Sunny-Umbra 2
69 – Fishbone 02+Beret (Lightbrown) hair
Hucci – Lead Crystal Dion Necklace
Silent Sparrow – (candy) selador limited edition
SLink – Desire Sandal

Quick little rant…

I've been blogging SL fashion for almost two years now and I have to admit, I'm a complete wuss when it comes to giving honest opinions so will either blog stuff I genuinely like or not give any opinions at all and just give you the facts like.. "Here's new hair, new skin, here's a slurl, go shopping SL!"

Do people prefer that or an actual critique? I know designers must like some feedback, since I give my friends really honest critiques in-world when they ask me to check out their products for flaws or things that *I* would change. A lot of times those improvements are made and they end up selling a whole lot more (hopefully).

I've noticed that on this blog, whenever I critique something that I think is 'bad' or not my style, people get bent out of shape over it.

Here are some typical responses I've observed:

1. Whenever I point out something I don't like on a product, for example skins, a dozen people will say, "That's exactly why I like that skin! I love that it has no belly button/has seams/has acne!" Whatever floats your boat.

2. And it doesn't stop there, people will actually go out of their way to purchase said item, and then review it on their blog or flood their Flickr stream with it. "Gogo you're wrong! Let's all go buy 20 copies of [whatever item I simply mentioned I didn't like]."

3. I find it discouraging when people
assume I'm a 'negative bitch' or having a bad day in real life which
affects to the way I blog Second Life fashion.

I try to say only good things about products most of the time, if you read my blog you'll know that. I blog to let people know what's out there in Second Life to go shopping, not to discourage it. Thankfully there are demos in Second Life for most avatar goods (hair, skin, shoes), because review blogs will NOT point out the flaws or things that may make you think twice before purchasing. Some blogs will, but you won't see it on here (most of the time) for said reasons above.

That is all.

Exile will be releasing this Dominique hair tomorrow!! It's super cute and has a hairband that changes 7 different textures. I couldn't decide if I'm blonde or brunette today, so I'll show both colors! The 'Harlow' blonde from Exile is my favorite tone, it goes with everrryyything!

<– Laqroki 'Jasmin' lips, perfection!

I totally forgot how much I liked the Laqroki 'Jasmin' skin, I went and picked up another one with pink lipstick today. So cute, right? I want these lips on everything.

Tiny Bird has just released this Fuentes hair and it is sooooo pretty. There are vines & flowers weaving through the hair, like a hairband. The flowers are color-changeable to 6 different colors! This hair looks versatile, I can definitely see pairing it with a lot of looks like fairies, boho, summer, etc.

Second Wave Apparel (SWA) has just released the Shorty-Shorts in a bunch of colors and patterns! Shown here is the Shorty-Shorts in Yellow and Pink; to match the Fuentes hair.

Stitch by Stitch has just released the BESS Playsuit, shown here in the Hibiscus print it's a lovely bohemian inspired outfit that can be worn with or without the skirt.

What I'm Wearing:

LeLutka – LondonRevoutionLight-makeup3
Tiny Bird – Fuentes (Vanilla, Pink)
WigWamBam – Sailor Tattoos (Birdie)
Last Call – Baila Bikini Set (Tank)
SWA – Shorty-Shorts (Yellow)
Stitch by Stitch  – Bess Playsuit Hibiscus
SLink – Eve Summer Sandals (Original Brown)

Cheesy blog title, buuuut… really, can you? We're totally spoiled by
Truth with weekly new hair releases! Rather than waiting for one big
mega release, I prefer the weekly new releases to keep my attention and
inventory from getting slammed all at once! 🙂

This new Truth Willow hair has a sweet punk rock look, and the hair bow and chunky highlights are texture-changeable via a menu. This hair goes perfectly with the newly released VooDoo Doll dress!!

A slightly more sophisticated style, the Truth Natasha is a short and sassy with texture-changeable hair sticks securing it in place. I'm loving the Anya coat, which I think is perfect for this style. This hair reminds me a bit something a secret agent might wear? Maybe it's because of the Russian themed names in this release! 😛

What I'm Wearing:

Laqroki – Jasmin 02 Fair skin
Truth – Anya Coat [ocean]
Truth – Natasha hair
Truth – Willow hair
Truth – Overnight Bag [snow leopard]
Truth – VooDoo Doll [green]
Shiny Things – Tuli Pumps
MG Fashion – Vintage Inspired Jeans [grey]
AOHARU – IceCream_Necklace

By the way, if you haven't been to Laqroki recently, there's a 50% sale on all skins!!!! O M G!!

Tp to Truth for new stuff!

House of Hucci is a new brand that is a collaborative effort between two designers, Raven Callisto and Eboni Khan. The newly formed House of Hucci brand already has an impressive collection of formal and casual gowns, individual casual pieces and tons of glamourous jewelry!!! I am completely impressed with the huge collection of sparkley and dazzling stuff – the brand officially launches this weekend but you can shop now, the sim is open to the public!

The jewelry pieces are amazing – all necklaces includes earrings (sometimes matching bracelets and rings, too). The gorgeous House of Hucci jewelry pieces are unique and lovely, and the sparkling gems are even more beautiful in-world than on these pictures.
