The Marisol dress from Decoy is a lovely ankle long summer dress. It’s not a formal, it’s more of a comfy dress that you put on after a day on the beach, being lazy, sipping rosé wine in the sunset with your SO. I’m wearing it with the moss shrug of Digit Darkes’Serina dress.
Also wearing Dutch Touch Forest(powder, Candy) and Truth’s Grazia in driftwood.

I was watching Gok earlier, and I decided to adopt his motto (kinda) “Buy Less, Wear More” I know, it’s like a New Year’s resolution… it will stand til the next gorgeous release that I just have to have, but for now, I’m wearing Artilleri’s grey Johanna shorts (yes, new) with Dutch Touch’s Pink Plaind top (which i’ve had forever) and the silver bangle from Icon.
Truth made Grazia hair, and it’s totally me, so you’ll be seeing me a lot in it and today’s skin of choice is Tuli’s beautiful Hope (sunkissed/Kitten).

Less usually is more and that also goes for this outfit. Simple, well made basics, for a cool and laid back look which is still totally elegant. The white jeans are from Celestial Studios. I’ve had them for ages, but they are still on par with the current fashion standards. The simple white blouse is from Aoharu. it’s one of those items everyone should have in their inventory, RL & SL alike. I’ve opted for a green top here, the Dalini top from Decoy (I totally rediscovered that shop thanks to hair fair!). I actually bought the fat pack of those tops, they come in lovely colours. Go easy on accesories. I see so many avies who’d make exquisite x-mas trees… but really, one or 2 pieces wel chosen are more effective. I’ve picked the oversized enamel hoops from Paper Couture, as well as their Sprin multi stone ring.
I’m wearing Curio’s Post Ironic hair in ash, and Cupcakes’ Seduction Wheat-Summer.

Michami’s new release, the Anouk jumpsuit, is at the base of today’s look. I’m wearing the bottom part in pink, and then i went for the off shoulder baggy shirt from Aoharu, which actually has a colour change shoulder strap ( I tinted it a bit darker to match the pants). I’m also wearing Creamshop’s pink glambangle, which is bold enough to be a sole accesoire on an outfit.
My skin is the current work in progress from Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot. Roslin is curently making make ups… so if you have a suggestion… maybe you can drop her a notecard with a photo or a URL, since inspiration is always welcome. My hair, I believe, is a freebie from Uncleweb, called Reed

When it’s hot like this, I’m always in crisis for what to wear to work. I know it needs to be proper office/business attire, but inside i’m screaming t-shirt, shorts and flip flops!!!!!
For today’s look I’m somewhere in between, with Decoy’s Lila striped top and DP YumYum’s light pleated skirt. Since I never suffer from a heat stroke in SL, I’m wearing the over the shoulder sweater from Coco (white, tinted beige). Also from Coco is the brown belt, which has an amazing fit for my avie, I never have to adjust their belts. The tiger’s eye Mala beads necklace is from Lucas Lameth. The Carmen fedora (texture change) is from Illusions. Truth’s Linda hair in coffee is heavily modded to fit with the hat.
Last but not least I’m wearing Audrey, the skin Roslin and CJ are currently working on and which will be released in little less than 2 weeks!

BareRose has the cutest kimonos out so I just had to indulge myself and spend a whopping 140 L$ on the Okami kimono, shown in blue here :-D. I’m wearing it with Curio’s June 2 Zenia in bean (who says only Japanese chicks can wear kimonos?) The hair is Maitreya’s amazing Moon and the hair flower is Kanzasi Sakura, from Kurotsubaki. I have no idea whether it’s still available, since it’s quite old, but I still like it.

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know I’m a total sucker for a good system skirt. So when last week I was over at Bijou and saw this pretty from their Ambient outfit, I knew I had to have it. I’m wearing it with the basic white Cambridge Cuffed shirt from Armidi and accesorised with the Kaya set from Zaara. I’ve picked the black Marie shoes from Tesla to wear with this outfit. I love strappy pumps. I’m wearing PXL Creation’s Kim in tan and Adam ‘n Eve’s adorable Cristina hair.

Going professional today, even though the cute Christy skirt from Skin Flicks is too short to fit the proper definition of office/business attire (which would be knee length, or just above knee). But since I’ve got the legs to pull it off -in SL at least- I picked it anyway to go with the Dietrich shirt from Lelutka and the beige houndstooth Metro jacket from Bijou. I’m wearing the black nylon tights from Sheer and the Pearl and Chain belt from Ume. My glasses are from FNKY and the earrings are Exodi’s Bailey’s pearls.
I’ve picked Cupcakes’ Seduction in Wheat (Girly make up) and Lamb’s Unbirthday chignon in Butterfinger to finish the corporate look.

So I started out with this beautiful Carmen fedora from Illusions and a sneak preview from Lionskins upcoming release Cana and wanted to do something white and pink and ultra feminine combining it with Lelutka’s white Olimpia pants… and instead I end up tinting the fedora in a color that is not available in the texture schanger, wearing it with Lelutka‘s Champagne Satin pants and Shai‘s khaki safari suit jacket. Uhm, yeah… so far for planning…Oh, the sunglasses from Skinflicks were a part from the original idea, but instead of going for subtle jewelry, I opted for this chunkier double gold/wood necklace from Icon. With the hat, I’m wearing Lelutka’s Grace hair in natural blonde (modded to fit with the hat).

A couple of weeks ago Samara sent me these hilarious octopussies from E! (Eclectic Apparel & Accesoires) and today I’m showing another bit of the inventory from this quirky, fun shop. The Lumberjack open shirt, worn with Coco‘s knee high denim and white v-neck t-shirt. The Kboots are from Ju Weissnicht. I’m wearing the blue leather cap from Maitreya over a modded Zach hair from Truth and also the pendant is from Maitreya. The skinned knees are from Cheeky girl and the band aid on my lovely Curio skin ( June 2 dark Racoon 2 in in the new skintone Bean) is from an old Atomic skin. The beautiful henna arm tattoo is from HUZ

Ever since this group gift from Coco came in earlier today, Come on Eileen, from Dexy’s Midnight Runners has been on my mind. So this look is inspired after that, Wearing the Coco salopettes with the Maitreya RB Tank in Magnolia and their Mauve scarf. I’m wearing the brown Freedom Flops form Surf Couture and Exile‘s Jane hair, in ash (with hat). The lovely skin is Dutch Touch‘s latest addition to the collection, Forest with a lovely smokey eye and the pale, soft gloss lips.

I honestly think I have been the first to blog about Nef and Ivalde, Embla and Ask, her three initial brands which later were all integrated under the Ivalde label. I don’t even remember how we met, I think it must have been while I was exploring the grid. I was a rookie blogger, and Nef a rookie designer. It was the beginning of a nice friendship. Even though lately, we haven’t been in touch much. I hope she’ll be back soon, but I know she’s been suffering pains while designing, and I have suggested she’d take a break a long time ago, so I’m actually glad to see that the move is pretty much making her take the break she really needed. So I figured, in this post to take you through my blogging history with Neferia… don’t be shocked… some of the photo’s are pretty bad… I had a good laugh myself.
Yes, that was back in December 2006, wearing Amy, from the Embla brand. I started blogging at Second Style just a few days before meeting Neferia.
A few months later… more Ivalde. Logically so, because Neferia turned out to be one of the most diligent and dedicated designers on the grid, and her skills were improving fast, so blogging her again was really a pleasure.
After that, RL took over and there was so much to write about, people knew how to find me and I got a lot of blog requests and so little time. I did a few quick posts about Ivalde, and I also remember Celeb doing a couple. And then, almost a year after my first blog, I remember Nef IM-ing me, asking if I had forgotten about her, or that something was wrong. Nooooooo! not at all.. everything was really very right… but I had been so swamped that I just didn’t manage to be in touch. So I made time to visit my old friend, and got surprised all over at the quality and the improvements in the designs that had been made once again. Result… another Ivalde post *smiles*
And then I went on hiatus from Second Style, was busy with a few other projects and eventually started up my own blog. I’ve been using Ivalde clothes on several looks but early March of this year, my eyes caught the beautiful Odile gown in Ivalde which I wanted to make pretty photos with.
And so today, it’s time for a Look of Ivalde day. I’ve picked the stunningly beautiful blue Halldora gown and wear it with the Birla belt in violetred. The Ivory Spring flower Bun is from JE Republic (retextured and recoloured the flowers) and I’m wearing Tuli’s Hope fair/Tequila. My Veronique jewelry is from Shiny Things.
Nef… enjoy your hiatus… get well, and come back when you’re ready ❤

Gogo’s blog post today totally made me want to check out Couverture, but instead of the new release Gogo wrote about, I came home with this co cream dress… It’s so elegant… It comes with a matching turtle neck, but I have chosen to wear it with the collar of Coco‘s white broadcloth blouse. The dress is ankle long, and it has a lovely flexi. The Aems earrings in indigo from Whippet & Buck are a pretty match. I love the new hair at Exile, I’m wearing Ciara, in sand and since I again could not resist the new release at Curio, I figured I might as well put on the cute June swan 2.

Truth‘s new second hand jackets are friggin’awesome (pardon my French) I’m wearing smoke today, with the high waist shorts from Muism, and the bordeaux Hykova top from Whippet & Buck. The sole accesoire today is the lucky heart necklace from Artilleri.
I’m wearing Shiloh (coffee- flower girl), the latest addition to the Exodi skin ranges by the talented Ryker Beck. It’s so pretty. I really need to take some photos for a full review, but i’m feeling a little drained, so I’m postponing that to next week or so. My hair is Nico in coffee, from Maitreya.

From the very first moment that I laid eye upon the plaid textures from Whippet & Buck, I’ve been a total fan of them. The Bardot Tartan Tube dresses are among the favourites in my inventory, and now there are these cute, frilly tops, and I’m vain enough to think Twiggy & Kota named them after me :-P. So I’m wearing the Grazia Frilly top in Electric today, and teamed it up with some work of another of my favourite content creators, Milla Michinaga from Michami. The fuchsia Anoorea skirt and dito Ebba scarf are really cute with W&B’s top. Another item that canbe worn with, wel, almost everything, are the Aidan bangles from Exodi (colour change on touch, and I’ve intensified the colour of the purple and the blue bangle).
I’m wearing ETD‘s Felicity in Cinnamon and the red/freckled beta of PXL‘s Kim (in addition to blonde, brown and black, the natural skintone of Kim will also have a red brow version)
