Look of the Day, July 12, 2010

Posted in Boom!, Dutch Touch, EHA, GOS, LOTD, Magika, Mr. Poet, MV-SL-Fashion, SL, Slink, Surf Couture, U&R Dogs, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 12, 2010| Leave a Comment »

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)

Necklace: U&R Dogs Rigoletto necklace

Congratulations, Luca!! (Little RL message… as a reminder that I need to call a special, old friend today)

These weeks are hectic, but it’s still fun to throw an outfit together. I must admit, I am very happy with Hunain being on a (blog) roll right now, no pun intended. His contributions challenge me to be creative and to look into new stuff. Like for today’s look, it probably would have taken me like uhm… forever, to discover the awesome (unisex) pants at Zoobong, or the amazing and oh so affordable stuff from HoC.

Anyway, let’s get down to business, shall we?

Hair: Gritty Kitty Butters (blonde)
Skin: Laqroki Pearl 09 (fair)
Shape: custom by me, not available

Tattoo: HUZ tats Wave
Bikini: BOOM infinity bikini thick stripes cool
Necklace: Mandala Hannya silver double
Top: Surf Couture Coastal tank white
Pants: Zoobong rokstar pants yellow (including prim buckle)
Shoes: Orange Creations Mercy magenta

Glasses:  Aviator style glasses by HOC

New Poses @ Reel expression and 5th & Oxford’s 50L$ Friday

Posted in 50 L$ Friday, 5th & Oxford, Boom!, Clawtooth, fri.day, GOS, Maitreya, MV-SL-Fashion, Reel Expressions, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on May 28, 2010| Leave a Comment »

So, I think this week’s 50 L$ Friday is going to be a series of must haves again. Yesterday I showed you Casa del Shai’s contribution already, and today I am wearing 5th  & Oxford‘s Seaside Sweetie, which is a preview of their upcoming release in an exclusive 50 L$ Friday colour (will not be part of the release). Roslin has really nailed the butt shading on these high waist shorts, and to make a stripe pattern look this good on the SL avatar mesh, is a pain in the butt and also the other contributions I have seen so far from Artilleri and Arcade tell me that it’s worthwile braving the lag this week!

On a whole different subject, Luth Brodie from Reel Expressions has released new poses again. It’s been quiet for a while at Luth’s, but the last few weeks, she’s on a roll again. I couldn’t resist the new stool poses with prop. Hers remain some of the best poses in SL, though it really irks me that for some poses, my legs seem to be not long enough, while for others in the same set they are. I’ve picked only poses which are really good for me for this pic though :-).

Enjoy, ❤ Grazia

Posted in 50 L$ Friday, Action, Boom!, Fashionably Dead, League, LOTD, MV-SL-Fashion, Tiny Bird, Whippet & Buck, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 14, 2010| 1 Comment »

Yesterdays was about the jammies, today is about the amazing new Vagabond pants which Toast Bard from Fashionably Dead released earlier today. At first I thought, wow… L$ 250? But then I saw that is for 4 pairs in black, white, grey and brown so that is really an amazing price!

A little after I picked up the trousers, I was talking to Dakota Buck, from Whippet & Buck, how Toast inspires her to create new things and that she wished she could achieve the level of wearability (which does exist in SL, odd as it may seem) that Toast has. But I think that both Dakota and Twiggy are doing a really fine job as far as wearability and creativity goes with their collection, so I’m gladly combining Toasts pants with Whippet & Buck’s turquoise Cole Boatneck top (which was a stumblebum brigade exclusive) as well as their Little Bit of Pretty necklace. Before we parted, Kota passed me the matching bracelet she’s working on and supposedly will be released some time soon.

I like it when Aranel Ah from BOOM ventures in prim stuff. This take it easy tote is very much like the bags I use in RL (and then I curse because I can’t find my keys in the mess) . Love it though!
Lat but not least, the teal Action’s womens Ballet pumpz are elegant because understated with this outfit. There are too little shoes in SL with a lower heel.

I’m still wearing League’s Taylor skin today, and My Protector in warm black from Tiny Bird (50 L$ friday item!!!)

SLurls, as usual, are listed here.

Black is the new black.. especially when it’s denim. Always good for cool and/or stylish looks. Zaara’s classic jeans are currently among my faves. I’m wearing the charcoal ones here, and Aoharu’s black front knot shirt to go with it. Under that I’m wearing Boom’s sheer powder Her Pleasure bandeau top. I could have done without it, but, well… what you don’t show, is often more alluring than what is blatantly out there. The tattoo is not for sale, Hunain made it. I like text tattoos and wouldnt mind seeing more of them. My sneakers are from 2real. I told you the other day that Mandala has new stuff out, this is their Hannya necklace. The ‘Pink Eel sunglasses are from Shade Throne.

I’m wearing fri.day’s Marie in cranky brown, and Dutch Touch’s Maan pastel.

A quick one today, because I have to hurry. I hate starting my days in a rush, but… oh well, I suppose sometimes it’s just that way.

I’m wearing Argrace’s new chiffon tunic (small flower), Ingenue’s Liasis shoes in late and Boom’s Chains of 925.

Today’s skin of choice is the beautiful red brow version of Dutch Touch’s Keira (caramel, dawn) and Truth’s copper Tesa hair is the finishing touch to this quite romantic look.

A special heads up for my eyes, because I rarely mention them. 99% of my time I find myself wearing these Glow eyes from PXL Creations in greygold. I used to be a hard core Miriel fan, but I love these just as much these days.

Yup… it’s a blue Monday. I’ve been on vacation for 2 weeks and I’m NOT looking forward to getting back, and facing an exploded mailbox and ditto desk. On top of that, it’s unusually cold and… oh well. Let’s just get over with it, right?

If I had this sweater in RL to put on, I’d at least be sure to be warm enough, and cute as well. It’s from So Many Styles, appropriately names Winter Sweater, and it also comes with a cute flower on the collar (if you like cute flowers on collars that is, but personally I’m not such a fan).

A few months ago BOOM released these Seaman pants in a couple of good colours. They are low waist, so for me they are not very easy to combine because I’m not a huge fan of exposed bellies (especially in wintertime… but… does that really matter in SL?) , but with this sweater it works fine.

The Blue Verve pumps from Maitreya are a perfect and elegant touch to this outfit. Had I known how much I’d grow to love these, I would have bought the fat pack right from the start.

I’m wearing Hair Oh’s Oh my Julia in strawberry gold today and L. Fauna’s Lapine (pale 2) fresh (fr).

At the sale at Nyte ‘n Day I impulsed on this Raiment pink camo skirt… and then had no idea what to do with it. It’s cute and well made… but not something I’d normally wear so I just started to experiment some, and eventually, this outfit was the outcome.

I’m wearing the Raiment pink camo skirt with Boom’s pink Park Life hoodie over Whippet & Buck’s tobacco Hykova buttoned top. On the jacket layer I’m wearing Coco Designs brown sheared mink shrug (tinted). Legwarmers are from Dutch Touch (wrinkled, no. 9) and the chocolate Kensington boots are Tesla’s.

I’m wearing Rockberry’s Uma (light) and Exile’s Carrie in sand.

So the boy friend jeans stayed on for this look… I find myself doing that quite often, that an element of the previous look, will return in today’s look. But then again, Maitreya’s BF jeans is such a basic item it’s easily worn in a lot of different combinations.
I also like layering, and I love it when a creator makes the effort to make their stuff on every useful layer. I’m wearing fri.day’s purple striped v-neck here, paired with Boom’s purple wrong size cardi and their latest release, the doll pink Park Life Hoodie. For the shoes I also went with fri.day, I’ve picked their purple basic flats to go with this combination. Ryker Beck ,the creator from Exodi, yesterday sent this lovely Lily skin to her in world group, and it was the base for this purple/lavender/pink set.
Last but not least, with this casual look, I’ve picked Truth’s Brooke, in driftwood, because it’s so very casual as well… like when you just grab your hair, twist it in a loose bun, and stick a pencil in , while half of it falls back on your shoulders. Totally my kind of weekend look.

Oh and I just had to share a close up of the skin:

Just a quick one today as I have a really FULL week ahead, but I noticed this lovely Swallows dress yesterday at BOOM! and I figured it would be so cute with R2’s new Kahiwa shoes. I’m wearing it with Decoy’s ruby Mraz scarf (slightly tinted to match the sash from the dress better) and Artilleri’s red Paula glasses. Also from Artilleri is the Maggie tattoo and I’m wearing Rockberry’s Uma K light with tintable lips.

I picked Boom’s summer sarong in tan as the base for today’s look. I decided to leave the sash on the hip in my inventory as it makes the sarong more dressy, and that’s not the look that I wanted to achieve today. I’m wearing it with Tuli’s worn capri’s and Intimizzio’s (Armidi)  Chiara di Luna in black on the shirt and underpants layer. HUZ’ Ugra tattoo felt just right to wear with this. For the accesories I went with good ole Shiny Things stuff. The Zeyla necklace and the Nico bracelet, because they have this chunky, somewhat tribal look that I wanted.

I’m still wearing Lily, the new skin at Exodi from my review earlier today, and the hair is Truth’s Ingrid in Chocolate.
