Archive for July, 2010

Some days I just feel like posting credits to a look and a link to my slurl page, other days I am more “talkative”. Today is such a day.

With the release of SecondLife beta viewer 2.1 it has become possible to wear multiple clothing layers (up to 5)and the blouse of the same kind. For instance, In this outfit, I am wearing 2 jacket layers. for the top, and the blouse. Now technically I still could have solved this by wearing the shorts on the underwear layer, the tank top on the shirt ánd pants layer and the blouse on the jacket layer, but hey, SL has this silly bug that leaves a gap between the shirt and the pants layer and I hate that, so this is a wonderful solution.

This means that you could also opt for a tattoo hair base and tattoo lashes, and still be able to wear your favorite tattoo beauty mark and lipstick… see the possibilities? Good development I’d say. Now of course there are lots of residents who couldn’t care less and have other wishes for their SL but hey… sometimes even I get lucky!

Hair: Eha’s Megu black ash (hair band colored)
Skin: Dutch Touch XaYa Caramel cute pink
Eyes: SLink Eyescream Flecked Forest
Lashes: Magika Real prim eyelashes (no alpha interference)

Tube top: BOOM Her Pleasure void
Top:BOOM Bodacious hot pink
Blouse: Mr Poet off shoulder white shirt
Shorts: Surf Couture Cafe shorts
Shoes: GOS Espadrilles (various texture possibilities available)

Please Nena!

Taylor, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

This is a quote from the release notecard Nena Janus from League sent out to her subscribo group:

*League* Skin Taylor -Feline- in Blonde!

I got so many requests for a blonde version of Taylor, it looks unlikely that Il do the whole line but I had to do at least one for you, so here it is, with all the options youd expect of the Taylor range: Hairbase (in Blonde), Freckles and Cleavage Options- 8 skins in each pack, 4 skin tones available: Pale, Medium, Sunkiss and Suntan

The skin is available at Harajuku Box skin faire, and to me it is not clear whether or not after the fair, this skin will be still available, so I can only recommend you to go get it while it’s out there.

I really, REALLY would like to shout out to Nena though for a full range of Taylor skins with blonde eyebrows. It is such a pretty face and just the Feline make up is not enough.

So, if you want more blonde skins from League as well, leave a comment with your full avatar name and show Nena how many people want this.

Though not as insanely hot and humid as during the weekend, summer in the lowlands is still more than present. And hence nothing better than something hot, to keep you cool, like this new Xotic dress from House of Hucci. The necklace, which is really pretty, is part of the dress and holds up the draped fabric on the stomach area. I am wearing the dress with Bax Coen’s brown prestige boots, and PXL Creations’ Candy skin in tan (out now) and Kin’s black Cricket hair.

When months ago I tried on one of the first betas of Candy (back then just named, “beta 1.2 etc”)  I was smitten already with the lovely shape of the mouth.  Then RL took over, and months past til a couple of weeks ago, Hart Larsson sent me some make up samples… on a totally new and refined body and face for “beta”, now named Candy.  Candy comes in 2 skintones for now, Natural (worn) and sunkissed and 27 make ups each.  Each make up comes with 3 eyebrow options, and 2 cleavage options (push up on underwear layer and tattoo layer).

I will post a full review later, but for now, I just wanted to show you how pretty Candy is. This photo is basically unedited, except for some cropping and the adding of a border. I have, however been playing with windlight for this shot. You will find the natural skin slightly darker and more saturated with default light.

Other need to knows:  Daring arm- and finger wrap by alaMood, tattoo by HUZ-tats (not available), hair Maya (platinum) by I Love Olive.

Aaaaah… yes… today’s look is about old again, actually, it’s been some time that this skirt and blouse have not been available anymore. It is one of the first things I bought when I first started out in SL, it’s a 2006 item from Mischief, Jackie. Honestly, it still looks pretty!

Janie Marlowe, after having been around forever, with her brand Mischief is going to close her shop and will launch a complete new brand. So no drama, just, after so much time, Janie wants something new and fresh, and a new brand is the way. In the meantime there is still a sale going on on her current collection, so go get some of her lovely outfits before they will disappear forever. I’d like to thank Janie from here, for being such a constant fashion factor in my SL, and I’m looking forward to her new designs!

Like I said, Jackie was discontinued quite some time ago already, but the bag and belt from fri.day are, as well as the champagne Volume necklace from Atelier AM and Maitreya’s verve pumps.
I’m wearing League’s Taylor skin (medium, feline) and Truth’s Roxana in almond.

New @ Truth, July 1, 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Aaaaand… more hair!! Truth released 3 new ones again. From left to right, Roxana, a half long messy bob, with and without streak options; then there is Tabatha, a quirky fresh asymmetrical ponytail with both streak options and a colorable hairband, and then, my favorite of the week, Josephine, a classic low in the neck braid which I haven’t seen this lovely since Elika had her limited edition Sea Nymph hair out.

Happy Hairday!!

New @ Exile July 1, 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Look at these luscious, ultra feminine, sexy new hairs from Exile!!! I can’t pick my favorite this week. I am so happy though that Kavar made a Deanna 2 (right) which is a loose style, as opposed to last week’s Deanna updo. I’m also very pleased with Alessa (left) a semi updo, the top layer of the hair casually tied together on the back of the head and April (middle) is just really very sexy. I wish I were better in describing hair, but apparently it’s a part of my English that is lacking. However…yes, it;s going to be a great hairday again.

<3, Grazia
