Some content creators have been around forever… well… my forever. Simone Stern was an established designer when I came to SL and she’s still very much around. I don’t visit her shop often, but when I do, there is always an item or two that I just need to get my hands on. Like this lovely Annya dress. The silky teal texture just got to me and it has this cute safety pin brooch. I’m matching it with the Belle shoes from Shiny Things and the Whisky and Plum jewelry from Balderdash.

Esme is the lovely new hair that Kavar Cleanslate from Exile released earlier today and I am in love with it. And then, usually I don’t talk about my eyes. I’m pretty much exclusively wearing Miriel’s eyes anyway, but Camilla Yosuke from Insolence had a nifty eye idea and I’ve been using her HUD driven Eyelife eyes and I must admit, it’s a fun gadget. I recommend you check this video to see the details. And the skin is PXL, still in beta, but getting there. This is the freckled version I’m wearing.

A visit to Reale is always good for some new dresses with a high cute factor. Like this pretty green candy tunic dress. I’m wearing it with Michami’s beige Stella trousers and Decoy’s Mraz scarf in sand (made a bit darker). The lime Daring Pumps from Shiny Things match the green of the dress perfectly, and as finishing touch I picked the tiger’s eye Mala Meditation beads from Lucas Lameth Fashion Jewelry.

ETD’s Lannah in Elika’s brown is one of my all time favourite ETD hairs and today’s skin is from Truth’s Rejuvenate line: Viper, in kashmir.

I like mixing old and new stuff in my outfits, although I admit, I had the pink version of Cake’s Autumn in Paris and I decided to go get the blue/slate one because I didn’t want to make yet another pinkish outfit. But anyway, the skirt would be the old in this outfit. New is the bodice, which is from Church of Luxe’s Cat Ballet outfit and the Mollify blue shrug from Nyte ‘n Day. The torn tights are from Canimal, the biker boots are from Redgrave. The arm warmers are Maitreya’s and the scarf is from Armidi, via shoparmidi.com. The necklace is Heartwood, from Lucas Lameth Fashion Jewelry.

My skin of choice today is Helsinki light, make up 6 and the hair is Antie, from Truth, in Ivory.

My country is having a winter like we haven’t seen in 12 years. No snow in my area but a lot of ice, and people are skating on the canals everywhere. Quite the nostalgic picture, really. Of course I’m in the mood for wintery stuff and this “fur” parka from BareRose just looked so snug. I’m wearing it with the white leather pants from Adam ‘n eve and the cerise Vidali pumps from Armidi. The scarf is part of ETD’s Davina hair, (in chestnut). Skin, again, is a cat eye beta of PXL Creation’s work in progress. I really love how this is developing.

It’s so incredibly cold here today that when I was putting on this outfit, I almost chose other tights than Mimikri’s black ajours. To think of bare skin in this weather… but hey… It’s SL, I could show off a bikini if I wanted to, so I kept them on, together with the debutante Genevieve sweater from Novocaine, and the black border fringe stole from Massimo. The old laced up boots from Shiny Things, although way pre-sculpt era, still rock, and I still wear them a lot.

The skin I’m in today is from Karamia (pale, sweet) and the hair is Exile’s Delta in sand.

Nyte Caligari’s Vestige skirt is so versatile that it has become one of the items in my inventory that I use most. Today I’m wearing it with the Dietrich vest of LeLutka and the blouse form the Bavarian Dress from Victoria V. To solve a severe case of EMS, I’m also wearing Michami’s white glam tank. I accesorized with the Long Drop Heart necklace in silver from Cailyn and the red linen stole mufler form Cream Shop. The boots are Jaywalk’s Melisande in Onyx.

The pretty skin is pin up from Soda, and the hair is Ginny, in Elika’s brown from ETD.

After all te holiday “violence” I welcome January as a calm month, to get back to my normal routine, to pick up where I left off when the December frenzy started. A comfortable and simple look is perfect for the wonderfully dull Sundays, which I have so dearly missed.

I started out today with the wonderful Makayla hair from Truth, in cranberry, which is vibrant as is, but I always like to ad a little fire to it by adding some plain orange. Then Hart was spamming me with PXL betas of the skin he’s working on.This is one of the much requested lips, wine, a luscious warm purplish red. The green Vnecknit sweater from DP YumYum, which I picked up this morning while TP-ing to get my CSR 2008 winter cards stamped (go for it, the gifts this edition are too cute) and the deep purple pants are a remainder of the holidays, being the pants from Casa del Shai’s Le Smoking Leopard tux (yes, for the guys.. but we pull it off better). Then, last but not least, the olive dune boots from Maitreya.

I’ve been working with Charron Marseille on some photo shoots recently and yesterday he suggested an outfit like featured in Ben Sherman’s 2008 autumn/winter collection. I’m pretty pleased how accurately it turned out with the crisp white Armidi Cambridge shirt, and Michami’s black Stella pants. Adding the black skinny tie from Muism, and the racer gloves from the Marilyn outfit from Emery, we’re getting really close. The black Mishima Dawn shoes from Maitreya are a stunning match with the real deal. Instead of the back pack, I went for the gym bag from LeLutka.

The hair is the smoked walnut GInza from Armidi, and the skin is a PXL Creations beta, so not available as of yet, but just the au naturel look that I needed to complete the look.

Bear with me as my PS is having some issues… won’t launch… at all ..and I cannot find the CD to re-install (yay for reorganising the attic), so I made this with The Gimp, and I’m so not used to that. Hope to be back to normal soon.
