    Palma

    Palma

    Exile built a fabulous new paper-inspired store! It’s a unique concept that I haven’t seen in SL, love the white contrasting with the colors of the water and sky on the sim. Go visit the store and get yourself some fabulous free hair gifts. I’m wearing the new Green Light hairstyle (@ this month’s Collabor88).

    Have you been to The Secret Store recently? I went and scored a free pair of the Diamond Strap Sandals in Juicy Mix colors. I’m actually wearing the coral-colored pair above, but the gift color is super spectacular, can’t wait to wear it! I’m also wearing the Rebecca Flare Dress from The Secret Store. Why is everything so amazing lately? I’m so pleased with my SL wardrobe.

    Some previews of the Exile store…. GO.

    Tropical

    Tropical

    The Sylva Dress from The Secret Store is easily my favorite dress at the moment. I love palm trees, palm prints, and everything that reminds me of the beach or a tropical island. I even found a chair from Glam Affair Home @ Collabor88 that features pillows with palm prints! I added some planters around my house to bring more greenery indoors. Most of the house plants are from What Next, and the planters are texture-changing.

    Creative Workspace

    Creative Workspace

    The Creative Workspace set from The Secret Store is clearly a work of art. I’m guessing that the drawings are Maylee’s art (buy her art on Etsy)! I like everything about this set, especially all the art brushes, paints, and a drawings. The only thing missing was a chair, so I just paired it with a random chair from Tres Blah. I also resized everything up just a bit, so that it’s the same scale as the rest of the furniture in my home.

    Glam Affair Lucrezia Skin for LeLutka Simone Bento

    Glam Affair - Lucrezia

    Happy New Year’s Eve!

    I haven’t done a skin review in years, mostly cos I felt that SL system skins have peaked around 2013, and there was nothing else to write, that I haven’t written hundreds of times before. I have reviewed 245+ skins in SL from countless brands, some have stagnated and never moved beyond system skins, or they simply retired.

    I plan on reviewing more skins in 2017, if I can alternate between more than a handful of brands. I won’t look for seams or point out flaws anymore, because it’s 2017 and I figured that most brands should have that figured out by now. If a skin is not to my liking, you will not see it on my blog. It may have taken me about a decade of SL blogging to figure it out, but it is much more efficient use of my time to focus only on well-made products. Unfortunately, that does mean that a lot of brands with potential will not get the feedback that they desperately need to grow.

    Glam Affair - Lucrezia

    This is the Lucrezia skin from Glam Affair. This skin is available at Uber, along with lashes and brows made specifically for the LeLutka Simone Bento head. I like the brows that it comes with, so I didn’t get the extra brows pack that can be worn with any Glam Affair skin/Lelutka Bento head. I also like that I can mix-and-match the makeups from some of the recently released Glam Affair skins to create some different looks. Even though I didn’t wear a lot of Glam Affair over the years, I do appreciate that Aida is a prolific skin maker.

    Glam Affair - Lucrezia

    The Lucrezia skin is $899L per skin tone, and comes with 8 brows color, 8 lipsticks, and 8 eye shadows. It is available at Uber at the moment, and will probably be available in store later on.

    Juicy - Emma // LeLutka Simone Bento Shape

    I have made a shape for this skin! Buy the Emma shape in my store or on Marketplace.

    Glam Affair - Lucrezia

    What I’m Wearing:

    Glam Affair – Lucrezia LuLetka Applier (America)
    Wasabi Pills – Isla Mesh Hair
    The Secret Store – Lola Cropped Sweater (Deer) S
    Blueberry – Cake Leggings
    Ingenue – Woodruff Boots (Saddle)
    Mandala – Tensei Earcuffs
    Mandala – Necklace Legacy (Kilimanjaro)

    Laq – Maxine Mesh Head

    LAQ - Maxine Mesh Head

    Hello Maxine! This new mesh head from LAQ includes the Evelyn skin applier, and a HUD to change features, expressions, and save settings. I am wearing Pink Fuel skins made for LOGO mesh heads (Kiyomi base, and Morgana eyeshadows) and LAQ lipstick. This mesh head should work with any OMEGA skin; but the fit varies. I was happy when I discovered that the Kiyomo skin from Pink Fuel works really well with this head!

    LAQ - Maxine Mesh Head

    The HUD for Maxine is easy, I especially like the lash options (3 different styles, length is adjustable), and the ability to save my makeups in the Looks tab.

    LAQ - Maxine Mesh Head

    With just a single head attachment, Maxine is very easy to wear. The head includes standard animated expressions that can be frozen for still photos too.

    LAQ - Maxine Mesh Head

    Do you wear any LAQ mesh heads? What is your favorite skin applier to wear with it? Let me know in the comments!

    What I’m Wearing:

    LAQ – Maxine Mesh Head
    Pink Fuel – Kiyomi Skin, Morgana Skin Lips
    Wasabi Pills – Cleo Mesh Hair
    The Secret Store – Freya Kimono Dress (Dove)

    Sparkles

    Sparkles

    Caroline gave me this floral head accessory from LODE. I’ve worn a lot of hair things from LODE, but they’re mostly sold as gacha items so not always easy to get the right color for my outfits.

    Sparkles

    Look at my sparkly shoes! I love these Mila Suede Boots from The Secret Store. These shoes includes a HUD to change the main suede colors and the accent textures. I immediately gravitated towards the sparkly accent cos I don’t have anything like it in SL.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Wasabi Pills – Miki Mesh Hair
    LODE – Head Accessory (Fuchsia) White
    Teefy – Taylor Bodysuit Dress Sheer (Minty)
    The Secret Store – Mila Suede Boots
