More Than Meets the Eye

I’m working from home today and loving it… it doesn’t matter that i’m in my husband’s pyjama pants with an old t-shirt that i bought on vacation many, many moons ago. I’m happily working my backlog away and even have time for a cup of tea with the neighbour.. and posting this look.

In SL I’m working lately from my Flanelle desk set from NotSoBad, which has the usual plethora of textures to chose from. My only issue with NotSoBad furniture in general is my own fun sized avatar… i’m just not tall enough. I can’t wait til the current trend of more realistically sized avatars will find its way into the sizing of one of my favorite furniture brands!

Stylish at work today with my new sleeveless greyr turtleneck from Coco Designs and the black pencil stirt from the same brand. With the black Ruiz bag from Lelutka for the essentials such as  iPhone, lipstick, credit card and car keys. I am all set to go. Dela’s black Silvera pumps are elegant, but not killing your feet after a couple of hours, and Insolence’s stockings from the Elsa lingerie set (not visible, but definitely there) are a must. After all, a lady wears her stockings, even when it’s awfully hot.

Artilleri’s Paula glasses are my all time favourite. Low prim, low lag and so well done and the Aludra earrings from Rozoregalia are really all the jewelry you’ll need.  I’m wearing Atomic’s Morgan, which is this week’s Stumblebum item (full line will be released later) and Mirone’s Faye hair in platinum.

Over the past few days weather has surely given us the impression in my part of the world that summer is over. Huge amounts of rain pouring down, wind causing trees to crash (unfortunately also the famous Anne Frank chestnut tree that she could see from the attic window)  and, oh well… it’s time for fall!

I am usually extremely reluctant to post items to the blog which aren’t available for purchase anymore, but I couldn’t resist to use Last Call’s Erin boho skirt in this outfit, simply because, even after so much time, it’s still one of my favorite white maxi skirts. So my apologies in advance.

Skin: Très Blah Jejune dark Halah
Eyes: L.Fauna Charm eyes blue 3 large

Blouse/corset: Coco Designs floral/ blue denim corset
Skirt: Last Call Erin boho (no longer available)

Sometimes lingerie is just too beautiful to be covered up with other clothing. So, my look of the day is Zaara’s new  Sumana lingerie with Très Blah’s Jejune skin and Exile’s Lily hair. Seriously… what more do you want?

Hui has done a blog make over and made it all gorgeous for the fall season. Well… less summery anyway. I love the clean silver look that the blog has now, so I’d like to start this post by thanking him for all the work!

Considering it’s been a but autumlike for the past few days, I find myself looking at less breezy stuff already, even if, theoretically we can still get a massive heatwave. But yeah fashion wise Fall is a better season than summer, with more variety in fabrics, layering, warm deep colours. Lets face it… it’s easier to be more dressed with lower temperatures than when it’s too hot to even move.

Anyway… I’m rambling. I’m glad my dad doesn’t have his shop anymore, or we would be visiting the fashion fairs of Europe every weekend for the next season.  On to today’s look:

Hair: Truth Midori (latte)
Skin: Très Blah Jejune light (adored)
Eyes: Très Blah Jejune steel blue

Sweater: Whippet & Buck  Contrast longsleeve (beige/white)
Vest: Sey  KD vest orange
Trousers: LeLutka Nora jeans (dingy)

Necklace: Mandala  Shaka (black)
also worn, but not shown, SLink’s black Mieke riding boots… they are gorgeous!!!

Usually it’s Hui who rules the black, but today I finally made it to the Maitreya sales and picked up their Boyfriend Jeans fatpack and i’m wearing the black here, paired with the black Bastille top, also from Maitreya. The C. Edo flats from Truth are still my first pick for a well made, simple ballet flat. I’m sorry for not wearing jewelry that is available on the market. Lucas Lameth is working on new pretties for his shop, and this Sirenas Embrace set is still in beta.  My infatuation with Kin’s hair is well known, I’m wearing her latest  release Margaret and Très Blah’s gorgeous new skin Jejune (dark, Halah) and the new Jejune eyes in steel blue.

On the rare occasions that Hunain and I go shopping together, we usually end up challenging eachother. Last night, he wanted me to show a suit at Aoharu and he was wondering which one to chose. I dared him to go as far away from his usual beloved black, and pick white, which, being a good sport, he did.  I picked pink, because I bet I’d look hotter in a man’s suit that he would. I’ll leave Hui up to posting his own look with Aoharu’s Elegant Suit, but in the meantime, here’s my take on it.

Hair: I Love Olive Maya (black)
Hairbase: Dutch Touch black
Eyes: L.Fauna Charm eyes Gemini 4
Tattoo: HUZ Tats D’jango (faded)
