Pretty ballerina dancing the day away…. Why is it that, when Paper Couture releases their semestral/annual collection, hoards of crazed fashionistas crash Tableau, but when the individual creators on their main avies bring out new stuff, this goes by relatively unnoticed? It must be the roleplay surrounding the Lu sisters in the past, or our deep longing to own stuff from the RL runways at least in SL, since most of us won’t ever be able to afford the designs of couturiers like Dior, Delacroix or Lanvin in RL… but anyway, that aside, I was at Nylon Outfitters yesterday and noticed that Nylon Pinkney has the cutest new stuff out.

I’m wearing her Inner Ballerina tutu skirt, with the also newly released Crochet lacyey wrap and matched it with Tres Blah’s blueberry pinned flower cami and Michami’s plum Maisie leggings. The ballerina pointes are from Bare Rose.

To contrast with all this girly, frilly romantic stuff, I’ve picked alaMood’s Brea toxic set, with a really toxic lime pendant ( I love the combination of purple and lime… don’t ask me why, but I do). My skin is another preview of 5th & Oxford’s Brooke skin (subtle series) and I’m wearing Truth’s Audrey and slightly adjusted the colour of the hair band to match the rest of the outfit. Request to all the hair creators who, like Truth, use texture change accesoires… please add a fairly neutral white or grey texture too, so that us fashion victims can adjust the colour to our outfits more easily.

SLurls can be found here as usual.

Brooke, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Coming soon is Brooke, a new face at 5th & Oxford. Roslin is in the final stage of completing 2 make up sets for this pretty lady. Those of you who shop at 50L$ Friday may already have a sample of Brooke in your inventories. If you don’t… you really should consider next Friday, because often creators put out samples of upcoming releases. Cute idea huh?

Anyway, Brooke has a really pretty body, like you already know from Audrey and other skins that 5th & Oxford previously retailed under their former brand, but the face is a little bolder than what we knwo from them. This make up is fairly classical, but Roslin has been working on some really dramatic eyes as well.

For this pic, I decided to cleopatrify (neologism, yay) Brooke for this portrait, with the ultra sleek Fanny hair from Uw.St in Meteorite and the soon to be released Celestial choker in aged gold from alaMood. The top is from the GLAVA outfit @ Bijou.

SLurls can be found here.

&Bean’s latest skin Pillow (tan, 1) makes me look a little stern I think. It’s a lovely skin again, but I’ll have to fiddle a bit with my shape to make it really fit me and I’m not feeling like it today. Yeah… it’s the New Year’s blues I suppose. I was totally annoyed with my neighbours last night who were setting off illegal fireworks, with blows so loud that I feared for the windows at my place. Oh well, end rant.. but my RL mood has influenced my SL look today. Truth’s Bailey hair in latte softens the look a bit.

Madsy’s lost sheep leather jacket is, like all of the inventory from that shop, so totally well made, and easy to wer! I’m matching it with this week’s 50 L$ Friday release from 5th & Oxford, the grey Tattoo Tee and Kari’s new school jeans. And since it’s cold, I’m wearing Artilleri’s Taylor scarf (red/aqua).

Not shown, but still a fave, are the UBU drunks sneakers, totally customisable, and going so well with any casual outfit.

New Years resolution… finally make a SLurl page.. so that’s next… slurls can be found there in the future.

And if I may suggest a resolution… how about subscribing to the updates of More Than Meets the Eye via e-mail? look in the sidebar, it’s easy.

Sometimes you just want to look posh. Yes, there, I said it… uppety, snobbity, posh! Diva with an attitude and a black card for limitless shopping (yeah, in my dreams). Anyway the Designers United III My Vaudeville Coat from Milk Motion was a great base for today’s look. Marie Lauridsen outdid herself this time.

I did link the bottom part and the collar together for this outfit (they use spine and chest), because otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to wear the collar of the Chanel Soire grey mini dress from Dela. This dress is a perfect little number for understated chic looks. I have it in several colours, and it’s one of my favourite items in my inventory.

The rest is just dressing up. Less is more, so I picked the beautiful stockings from Insolence‘s Barbara lingerie set to cover my otherwise pale winter legs (a lady just always wears stockings!)  and AnexxDesigners United III, Vaudeville  shoes.

Recently Roslin from 5th & Oxford updated their already awesome gloves and they are now available in their main store at Nouveau in some great basic colours. I can only hope that the other colours they had previously under the Fleur brand will also make their way to 5th & Oxford soon.

I’ve blogged GOS‘s beautiful Butterfly sunglasses before, but they just fit today’s look, so I’m happily using them again. Oh and when you go to Gospel’s shop, take a look at his nifty retexturising system.

The perfect skin for this look for me is PXL Creations‘ July. I’m wearing the natural skin tone with the spring red make up here. And last but not least, the stylish bob is Miaa from Truth in walnut.

L.Fauna: Lapine, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Launa Fauna is rebranding. Chai will be transformed in L.Fauna, and with the rebranding, Launa is also releasing a new skin. I’m wearing the first one of what will hopefully be a long successful story of handdrawn goodness in a virtual world where ever increasing photorealism seems to have become the norm. It’s refreshing really: the softness, the sweet face even the lack of hyper realistic body details. I love this skin.

L.Fauna skins will be available in 6 delicious skintones and come with (body) freckle option, cleavage option and tintable brows and lips.

While we wait for Launa to finish all the work on the new line, indulge yourself with some Chai Nova skins, they are currently 50% off!!

Other assets: Lingerie & shoes “Little Miss” from 5th & Oxford, hair Evie from Truth.

I was looking for a way to dress up 5th & Oxford’s lovely summer Cosmo cocktail dress. Turns out it goes really well with the grey fur bolero from Coco Designs and the Neyya grey pumps from Maitreya. Accesoires are the dragon fly brooch from the Femme Noir outfit from Icing, and the Athena crystal bracelet from Lucas Lameth.

I’m wearing Zoe in latte from Truth, and the first skin from Beauty Avatar I actually like, Daria (light make up 05)

Roslin Petion made some really nice tees for 50 L$ Friday, and they inspired me to this look. I’m wearing the 5th & Oxford Rock Royalty shirt with Dutch Touch’s short jeans skirt over Zaara’s Nishar leggings Fuchsia (underwear layer) and Cerulean (socks layer) and the black fringe boots from KAO (I know they do not look really black, but that’s the in world lighting… for the rock effect). The cuff is from the Misti line at Insolence.

I’m wearing Curio’s Sundust Beach Dark Goby 2, Truth’s Alyssa in espresso and the UGRA tattoo from HUZ tats.
