It is such a lovely day today, that I’d want to go sailing. I used to do that a lot when I was a kid, get on my bike, drive 14 miles to lurk at the harbour, running errands for the yacht club, and if I got lucky, one of the boat owners would ask me to come along. Later I became an instructor, and spent a lot of time on the water.. Now that I come to think of it… why on earth did I ever quit….. Anyway, today’s look is inspired by that. Whippet & Buck’s Stein shorts in indigo (I hope they can give their brand a go soon) and Artilleri’s red sailorette top and, because it still gets chilly some time, Coco’s over the shoulder sweater. Accesoires are minimal, with Icon’s red straw bangle and Muse’s Kailena earrings.

I’m wearing Synergy, by Opium (beta) and Aden Breyer’s hair Windblown in light brown (Aden’s hair and skins are currently not being sold)

My intermezzo with Mimikri’s new Blossom dress, yesterday, diverted my attention for a bit from the other piece from Mimikri that I was really  planning an outfit with. This Meow snow cardigan is extremely feminine, with a generous cleavage and the frilly accent on the hips, for that hourglass figure. I’m wearing it with Michami’s stella pants and Tuli’s pink sequin tank and opted for Tesla’s Kensington boots in violet to match the tank top. The black bead necklace is from Paper Couture.

I’ve picked PXL Creation’s Grace for the dark eyes and neutral lips, and I’m wearing Exile’s Rayne in Hazlenut, which is a really sassy, sharp cut bob.

Cocoro Lemon from Coco rules… Oh yes she does… Months ago I fell in love with her broad cloth blouses, then she made the best blazer on the grid, and now I found this tulip hem dress that just oozes class and had my name written all over it. I’m wearing this dress as is, because frankly, sometimes a design is just so good that you don’t want to cut it up in pieces for an outfit, nor add other things because it would not make it any better. So other than this lovely dress, I’m only wearing Blaze’s black classic pumps, which are about the simplest around, and available in many colours for a really affordable price, and Caroline Apollo’s black broken long strand of pearls.

I’m also wearing Free Speerit newest skin Kimberly, and ETD’s Felicity in Chocolate.

This Leona dress from LeLutka made me totally think of the wedding photos of my parents. The ladies in sleek cloque or dupion dresses, wearing satin gloves like these pink ones from Fleur, matching  with their shoes (Blaze in this instance) I’ve chosen pearls to wear with this dress and they all come from Caroline Apollo, so even when they are not from the same set, they do match with eachother. I have slightly tinted the white Greta glasses, indeed, to match the gloves and the shoes, and picked Cupcakes’ Lovespell Predy in honey because of the soft pink lips and Lamb’s BangBang in powder to complete the retro style.

La Casa del Shai’s Reluctant Seductress dress  has some of the prettiest lace texures I have seen in SL. So when I was contemplating what to wear with Schadenfreude’s Crimson Geraldine Corset dress (love the laced up back!!!), I figured this might just be a good match. And I do like how it turned out. The sculpted nekcline of the top softens the rather in your face sexiness of the underbust corset and the smashing red of the dress. I’m wearing Artilleri’s Paula glasses and Fuel’s See Through Hurt necklace and fyi, I’m wearing stockings from Insolence with the most luxurious shine to it, and Maitreya’s black Verve pumps. I know you can’t see them on this pic, but oh well, for completeness sake, I decided to write it down nevertheless.

I’m wearing Kyoot Army’s dark brown Hot Mess, and Cupcakes’ Seduction Retro in Copper as well as PXL Creations Red1 manicure.

I really couldn’t care less about the next grid wide hunt, but small hunts from creators that I know and like, that’s a different story. So I spent some time at Cupcakes! today, and found all but one of the 20 eggs that Mimi and Rosemary have set out in their shop. There are skins and clothes, and I’m wearing their Easter gift version of their latest Seduction line. While there, I eyed this cute striped shirt and couldn’t resist it. I’m wearing it with Aoharu’s yellowgreen capris and ETD’s black peep slingbacks. I’be accesorised with some black beads, the onyx Grazia necklace from Lucas Lameth and the triple black pearl bracelet from Armidi’s Gisaci.
Last but not least, I’m wearing the Julianne hair from Slink in medium brown, which is a colour that I really, really like.

How does one combine a sunny day and a kick ass mood? That’s Decoy’s Tangerine Margeaux jacket, with the Opium army camo pants from the Opium avatar at The Abyss. The plain white belt is from Kari and the disc jewelry is from Persona.

I’m wearing Aitui’s cherry blossom tattoo, Adam ‘n Eve’s Desire (t2) and Exile’s twilight Kaori.

Not shown, but worn, Armidi’s orange Dahlia pumps, although I have been considering wearing the grunge boots from the Opium avatar, for more kick ass effect… but I suppose sunny day won this time.

Sometimes a girl just needs colour… like today… So I picked Bijou’s Cake green turtleneck top, and Bijou’s Secret pink cropped jacket. My torn jeans skirt is from the Yelena outfit from Last Call and is no longer available. Slink’s green glamour plateaus are a great match with the turtleneck, and with Alicia Chenaux how to tint your prim feet tutorial on What The Fug, you really have NO excuse anymore to wear bad tinted prim feet… NO excuse, you hear? <3. Speaking of <3, the long drop heart necklace is from Cailyn MIller.

I’m wearing Armidi’s Ginza hair, and PXL Creations Linda Tan, Exotic make up.

When back in December Lo Jacobs released her Lucy dresses, I got my hands on a fatpack of this frilly, girly dress and I am wearing it really often, although hardly ever as is. This time I’m wearing it with the mossy green cardigan from Rapshodie and the military green suspender knee socks from Pig which I picked up at the square in Tableau. I picked the brown Saturday flats from Shiny Things to go with it. Recently I was going through my Lassitude and Ennui folder and the beauty of the Gwanwyn set struck me all over again, so that’s today’s accesoire pick.

I’m wearing the natural Onyx skin from Dutch Touch in spring skin tone, and Maitreya’s Faye in Hazel.

I realise I have Gritty Kitty’s Hoke-Troika hair on again. I just think it’s really cute and sassy and I didn’t bother changing skins after my review of Mai skins’ Mia. Now that I take a second look at this image, It’s a pretty thrown together look alltogether, but I still think it works pretty well. There certainly is no philosophy behind this look :-D. I was scrolling through my inventory and digged up these checkered sailor pants from Boing Fromage, next I picked Michami’s black Stella jacket, which never lets me down, speaking of basics….. the green shirt is the Cole boat neck top from W&B (not available yet) and the scarf is Ce Cubic Effect. I have been trying out several shoes, flats, pumps, ankleboots even, before I decided it was time to pay UBU a visit and get the new drunks and added some green to them to make them match the rest.

It’s a lovely Sunday and I’m in a happy mood. So I picked Ibizarre’s aqua Chantilly top and paired it with a total oldie from my inventory, Amby denim, from Naughty Designs. Yep.. I still have that stuff around… Siddean Munro from SLink! totally nailed the prim feet again in these flat, white Summer sandals. I just can’t stress enough how easy they are to tint, and only cost a fraction of what some other brands will charge for prim feet shoes. Lucas Lameth’s Kahto set is a simple but elegant set of jewelry with an ethnic touch, which I really like with this look.

I’m wearing PXL Creation’s Grace in the fair skintone which will be released shortly and Gritty Kitty’s Hoke-Troika hair in ash.

Mavis McGettigan, creator of Skin Flicks, has recently been changing all perms on her clothing from no copy/no mod/trans to copy/mod/no trans and that makes me so happy. Whereas I think SkinFlicks clothes are done well enough to make it worth the while to tweak your shape a little to make the prim work fit, basically I just believe prim clothes parts should be modifiable to fit you, instead of you making yourself fit the prims. So kudos for Mavis!

That being said, I’m wearing SkinFlicks beige Jane pants and belt with Casa del Shai’s khaki safari jacket and Maitreya’s olive Verve pumps. I’ve accesorised this outfit with Lucas Lameth’s Kamoana shell bracelet and layered necklace and ETD’s black aviator glasses.

Blowpop’s Carmen skin in raw sienna (look 2) didn’t want to come off today, and it suits me fine, and I’m wearing Truth’s Polly in sand… probably the only sand this safari chick will be seeing when sipping her chardonnay, and listen to the stories of the wild animals outside of the resort.

The new tunic tops at Truth are so well made. I’m wearing the Nautical one today, with the attachment, but you can also wear the mesh only for a tucked in look. I really like the neckline of this top, square, not too revealing, clean, sporty. Last week I had a total shopping spree at Artilleri, and most of it is still in my “new purchases” folder, so they stil grab my attention frequently, like this red simplicity pencil skirt. Not shown, but really matching quite well with the sportive look, are the red striped sneakers, from Redgrave. My Aemilia necklace is from Whippet & Buck (to be released).

With all the new skins that have come out over the last few weeks, I’d almost forget about the first line of Blowpop that looks cute on my avie, Infinity. I’m wearing Carmen in raw sienna look 2 and I’m wearing Pumpkin hair in fudge, which is another new release at Truth.
