Brrr....

Image
When it's cold outside fight the chill with some new styles from the likes of Analog Dog, Vero Modero and Loordes Of London.  Combine them all to achieve an appropriate cover up for a delicate skin from Apple May Designs. Skin: Apple May Designs (AMD) Giselle Dark *Base Pack is L$575, one skin tone and brow shape* This is my second opportunity to blog a skin from Apple May Designs.  After visiting today I have to say "You've Come A Long Way Baby".  They've been around a while and I'm very pleased to see the expansion of not only store space but also of fashion and avatar accessories. The prices are really affordable for the quality merchandise, so if you haven't been to AMD, you should! Hair: Analog Dog - Embrace Light Pack  L$50, not a new pack but blog worthy none the less.  If your looking for a different 'do' hit Analog Dog for some really affordable hair packs with 8 shade choices.. Outfit: Vero Modero - Artemis Top and Jeans, ...

Warmin' the Winter

Image
Depending upon your area of the world, winter has set in.  Even in our beautiful virtual world snow is falling in many regions or coated the lush green grass in a blanket of sparkling white.  In the midst of this 'brrrrr' Candy Cane Hunt 3 has begun.  Follow the snowy trails to snag amazingly hot prizes, like the one from American Bazaar  shown below.  In the pack is also a mens goodie.  If you are feelin' the chill in this strapless top and rugged worn jeans, pull on the jacket included to keep ya warm. Tribal Soul has been associated with fantasy skins for quite some time, though human skins have been available as well.  In an effort to give individualism and equal attention to them both, Syndel Daviau has created a new brand called MutE. MutE will host new and surely fabulous skins for the "human" in you.  December's Group Gift is out in the store now.  [MutE] One - Natural - Christmas includes hairbase & ornaments...

With Heart

Usually poses are loaded into a hud that sadly doesn't give me the name of the pose thus crediting hasn't properly been done in the past.  I'm looking for another means of sorting and locating poses at this time.  Tips on doing so are welcome ;) "Sing It" from *elymode* is the pose set used in this photo.  When putting together the look itself I realized that indeed something more than a model pose would be fitting.  It was then that I came across the recent release.  In elymodes "Sing It" pose and prop I found the heart of the vintage themed post.  This particular set contains 5 poses with mirrored poses for a total of 10 and left / right hand worn microphones to complete the set.  Tokyo Girl hair is once again atop the head with a pin straight style with short bangs to match.  Kara is a recent release though not free in the least.  This particular gal can be picked up for L$450 with 26 color options by menu and two...

Poised

DIMH3 ~ Secret Wednesday Sale ~ Dura Group Gift Butterfly Effectz makes a bold and beautiful statement with this playfully sexy red dress released for the Diamond Is Mine Hunt 3.  The upper is a satiny finished corset style top that clings and defines curves in all the right places and the skirt is a softer texture that moves gently when you walk.  It's a prize well worth seeking out along the hunt path. The most attractive earrings and necklace are one of two sets being offered by Addiction Jewelry for Secret Wednesday's, November 23rd sale hop.  It's a brand new release called Love Letter Pink Pearl Set and is even more attractively priced at $L49 for the 24 hour sale.  My first opportunity to blog anything from Addiction Jewelry; I'm impressed with the detail.  It shows the true effort and care that is put into the pieces.  Dura Mainstore is where you can find the sassy short unisex cut that I'm showing off. Without a doubt I'm hooked o...

Mixed Bag

Because I can't seem to photo and credit blog my posts are often late in coming.  Among other things in my second life and real life that put blogging not so much at the top of the list that is.  Blogging is a great joy, a means to look at an article of clothing, hairstyle, skin or other avatar accessory as I would in real life.  Catch the flow of the flexi prim in the gentle breeze, feel the cling of leather to my thighs ... smile when the hairs actually do fall out of place.  Exactly what road was the designer traveling when the idea to create butt cleavage came about? Is it out of the norm for them?  And does looking good really have to cost a fortune? So many questions go unanswered when I don't look deeper at the designs, hone in on the intricate detail, look through the minds eye of a fashion designer.  If it makes me slower than everyone else, I'm perfectly okay with that.  I'd much rather look from the inside out than to gloss over just th...

Meena - Fashions of Afganistan

Image
The latest and greatest addtions to the fashion world of second life come from the mind's eye of Trill Zapatero.  Many know I'm a fan of her designs, a friend to her and most important a supporter of RAWA through purchases I make.  Recently a fashion show was held and immediately after Meena was opened.  Below are a few of the items that you will find when you visit one of the only places you can find a taste of culture from the Middle East.  Beautifully designed and highly detailed sure you will find something that you can't live without. Long Embroidered Kuchi  Nomad Skirt - L$95 Backless Kuchi Choli Top - Black L$125 Kandahar Black Shawl - L$95  All Items are from Meena located on the Four Bridges Exhibit Sim, an educational adventure with many interactive guides along the way.  The skin, sadly not as visible as I'd have liked, is from Apple May Designs (AMD) Kat - Carmel Nitro 3 Beautiful skin that is soft and silky ...

Day In The Life

Sim hopping with my baby on a Sunday Afternoon landed us in several places where imaginations ran wild and the scenery as gorgeous, if not more so, than that outside in the real world.  The particular photo was taken on the sim where Post can be found. Amazing builds for those who have a love of architecture.  Aside from the umpteen-thousand places to explore, no one really gives a poo how you dress or if you even match head to toe for that matter.  So to see such beautiful Beehive Jewels & a Sleeveless Leather Jacket being the accesories to overalls, well ... it's the norm.   As most of you know I am a fan of nice skins and highly detailed fashion and accessories.  What I am more fond of is when the sales of those items go to a fabulous cause.  If you haven't had the opportunity to visit the Four Bridges Exhibit, search it up and tp over.  It's an interactive learning experience you'll not soon forget as you peek into the lives of Afgan...
