More Than Meets the Eye

   

Seduction face, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

You may have seen this skin on me in the last couple of blogposts already, but I’m seriously infatuated with the pretty face of Mimi and Rosemary’s latest addiditon to their skin range. Seduction came, saw and conquered me right on the spot when I first put the wheat skin tone of the generous group gift on. Right now there are 10 make ups available for each of the 8 skintone, most of them are pretty soft and girly. Mimi and Rose have promised more make-ups though, and I am curious to see them.

I’m showing you the gift skin here, as I only managed just now to go to Le Zoo and pick up 2 more skins, the Natural and the Retro, which are yummy as well.

When Canimal sent me her Skellyflies, I was just working on an outift and I really adore this piece, so I decided to leave it on. I picked Kari’s/TW new school jeans and Calypso Giano’s “Love is a Gamble” top and since some lingerie is so cute that you don’t mind showing it a bit, I picked Popfuzz’ Olive Lace lingerie to add a little colour. And that lingerie set matches perfectly with Maitreya’s lime Slinky Stilettos. The green Moxie bangles are new at Pretties by JB, from Jori Watler.

Perfect with the Skellyflies is ETD’s new Chel hair, which I’m wearing in Espresso and The skin that I’m in today is Seduction, the latest brainchild from Mimi Coral and Rosemary Galbraith @ Cupcakes!.

OMG… this is the cutest hair thingy I have ever seen!!! Canimal made these and you can touch each butterfly and they wil change colour, texture and shape… and not only once, not just twice, but you can keep clicking, it seems the options never end.

Thanks Cani, you’ve made my day!

Yesterday, while goofing in groupchat with some of the nicest people I know, Raven Callisto, from 7 Deadly Prims and House of Hucci (both currently under reconstuction)  asked me about my birth month and on my “December” she sent me this pretty Pearl and Topaz necklace with matching earrings. It was the base of this simple but elegant outfit made with Icing’s Femme Noir and Surf Couture’s Teal Chuny leather belt. The shoes are my fave freebies ever, the black slinky stilettos from Maitreya.

I’m wearing Fleur’s Shoujo Azalea spring 6 and ETD’s new hair Torwen in Espresso.

With  the new things that I’ve been doing quick posts about today, I’d almost forget I still have today’s look to post. So without further ado, It’s pretty much a SkinFlicks outfit, but the lace top and belt are from the Paige outfit, and the pants are from the Scarlett ensemble. I’m wearing the nougatine bracelet and necklace which were the prezzies from Muse in the Armoire showcase hunt, and Maitreya’s slinky white stilettos.

Since everything has already quite the golden look, I decided to just go along with that andnot looking for enforced contrast and picked Truth’s Gwenevere in Sand, and LeLutka’s beautiful Roma skin (light, make up 2a)

Preview Gaea, soon @ Lucas Lameth , originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Finally my friend and master jeweler Lucas Lameth has decided it is worthy to be released: Gaea. Gaea, or Gaia in Greek, is the Mother Goddess, risen out of Kaos, and giving birth to all.

Lucas has been working on this necklace for a long time, meticulously creating the gem textures, crafting the sculpties and torturing the poor prims into their current state of perfection. Or, as Lucas states on his blog, ” I don’t want to release just anything. I want to give you my best.” Luc, I think you succeeded… again.

Waternymph Collection @ Nicky Ree, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Nicky Ree granted me a preview of this first gown in a new collection. Water Nymph Adrie is like water pixelfied… gorgeous textures with waterdrops and a wavy prim gown. It will be released on Saturday 28 may to the public and has been out for a bit for Nicky’s group members. While I’m showing your the blue version, I’m sure this gown will be released in vast range of colours that we’re used to from Nicky Ree.

I doubted for a bit what to wear with this beauty, and in the end I decided to pick Lucas Lameth’s Athena necklace and earrings to accesorise, because the prism ETD’s sea nymph hair in Abyss, which is not available anymore, but a perfect hairdo to wear with this.

Coming soon: Tiny Bird, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

A couple of weeks ago, Autumn Hykova shared a folder with a lovely updo and tests for her new textures with me, and I fell in love. later I understood that these were not for Pixeldust, but that Ms. Hykova has been working on a new hair brand, Tiny Bird, and has been working steadily to create a collection of lovely, feminine hairdo’s.

I’m honoured she’s been willing to share her unreleased designs with me. From left to right, Giselle in the dark Dragees colour, which can be worn with bangs, like I do here, or without, Charlotte, in cream, which oozes class and femininity and Autumn’s latest Esme, which is a casual ponytail in what may be my favourite of her textures, Café au lait.

The Tiny Bird hair will be available soon.

I was looking for something to feed my spring feeling and this pretty much does it for me. The cute butterfly patchwork slip dress from Uncle Wiggily is being matched by the gold Cole boat neck top from W&B (available soon) and the Scarlet patent belt from Fleur. I found the yellow classic pumps from FNKY back in the depths of my inventory and accessorised the outfit with the heart necklace from Icon and the red Melange earrings and bangles from Zaara.

I’m wearing one of the new spring make ups for Grace, soon to be released at PXL Creations, and Truth’s lovely Chelsea hair.
