The fun part about cleaning out your inventory is that you find stuff back you didn’t even knew you had anymore…. like this lovely pastel green “Hungry for a Holiday” cardigan from Pididdle. I have no clue how it ended up in my inventory, but I’m sure glad I tried it on today. I’m wearing it with Fuse’s sheer Empire Lace blouse and Maitreya’s Cleo jeans skirt and also from Maitreya, the brown coin belt. Also the soho boots are from Maitreya, and the chained heart necklace is from Yummy.

I’m wearing Truth’s Louisa in Brownie (Sale ends today!!!!) and my skin is Grace, from PXL in the darker skintone Fashion Tan (will be available soon)

Mimikri calls this latest outfit of hers Moo! But actually it reminds me more of a giraffe print, than cow print. That being said I’m wearing the system skirt version of Moo in this lovely acqua/blue colour (she also made a prim skirt version). When I was thinking about how to accesorize it, I wanted a bold, almost exotic look, so I paired it with some cerise/pink items like Blaze’s pumps in Rose (tinted a bit to make them match better), Ivalde’s Birla violet/red belt, and Lucas Lameth’s Nalah long necklace in pink

I’m wearing Aden’s gen 4 in dark tan because of the way Mimikri did the arm cut. It’s fairly wide, and Aden’s skin reveals the breast muscle so well ( yeah, I know…I’m kinda obsessed with it) and the hair is Exile’s Helena in Twilight.

I know! I know I’ve worn Tesla’s Kensington boots paired with shorts just the other week…but I really like the combination. And when Twiggy Whippet, of Whippet & Buck, sent me these cute shorts… the boots were on before I knew it. The Stein shorts, worn in Van Cleef here, will be available once they open their new shop on Imogen, but in the meantime there are a few items in their small shop at Festivale. I’m wearing them here with Armidi’s white Cambridge shirt and Maitreya’s brown long scarf. The jewelry I’m wearing is from Shiny Things’ Florina set.

I picked Boon’s UEJ006 hair in chocolate and PXL Creations’ Grace in sunkissed, with the beautiful new wine lipcolour.

It’s sad, really, that sometimes I only remember a content creator when I hear they are going to close. Like in this case Jonquille Noir, from Little Rebel. Little Rebel used to be one of my fave adresses when I came to SL.Jonquille has a huge collection and was totally affordable even for my newbie wallet. But then you discover the huge and ever increasing variety of content… and those trusted places fade.. Not nice.. So today’s outfit is with one of the items thet I picked up at the sale at Little Rebel.Everything is marked down to 25 L$!

I’m wearing Jonquille’s black and pink floral wrap dress with the über classic white broadcloth blouse from Coco and the pink leather sash belt from Fleur. I’ve tinted the sand Mraz scarf from Decoy to match the pink of the dress and picked the black pearl ring from Paper Couture (which was a 2007 jewelry fair exclusive) as sole piece of jewelry. When I was looking for the right shoes to wear, I rediscovered the lovely enchant peeptoe shoes from Maitreya, which, much like Little Rebel, were kinda lost in the depths of my inventory (the shoes,not Maitreya itself)

Bonjour Operator from Lamb! in Pale is my hair today, and I’m still wearing Aden’s Gen4 (fair, make up 7)

All the blonde and the soft colours I’ve been in the last couple of days need balancing and so I looked for something fun and colourful. Fun and colourful is synonymous to Stitch by Stitch to me, so I decided to check what’s going on at Sevenstar Amat’s shop and picked up this happy fall coat, even though by now we’re close to spring. I had to adjust my shape for it, since it’s basically a no hip prim skirt, but I still love it. I’m wearing it with the white glam tank from Michami, and the capri’s from Last Call’s The Heiress Suit (not available any longer). The red scarf from Cream shopand Cailyn Miller’s long dropheart necklace are the finishing touches to this outfit, as are my favourite suede black Verve pumps from Maitreya.

I’m wearing the latest at PL Creations, Grace in sunkissed with lucious red lips and the dark eye make up, and my hair is Boon’s Era 801 in black.

I feel so spoiled… so many great new system skirts lately… This new set from Michami has an almost stern, futurist, strong look, but is also deadly feminine and sexy. It really doesn’t need a lot to create a unique look with, but for the occasion i’m teaming the cream Anoorea blouse and skirt with the thin electro belt from Kyoot Armi, the crimson gloves from Fleur and the Rose Florette pumps from Truth. The diamond bee necklace is from the 2007 Spring collection from Paper Couture, the diamond encrusted ring is from Paper Couture as well, and the black Paula glasses, which add some real contrast to the outfit, are from Artilleri.

Like many a blogger I’m infatuated with Maitreya’s new Piper II hair,wearing the ash blonde here, and I’m wearing Grace in the soon to be released sunkissed skintone from PXL Creations.

The new highskirts at Maitreya with the beautifully crafted prim high waist belt were an instant fave. I’m wearing the lovely mauve Blossom and paired it with the top and shrug of Paper Couture’s Nightengale set. The shoes are Shiny Thing’s Tuli pumps and the jewelry is from Caroline Apollo (XOXO Walldorf necklace and XOXO trio diamond earrings).

I picked Truth’s Victoria hair again, in Barley (it’s still available and all proceeds are going to the Victorian Bushfire Relief) and my Grace skin from PXL Creations.

Jeans and peacoats…it’s a classic, what can I say. I gave it a little twist today with the Gribon Peee coat and Maitreya’s new Cleo jeans skirt and LeLutka’s Dietrich shirt. I really like the over the knee bf socks from Worldwide Industries and with the Ving bootsin Oxblood fromShiny Things,they are not too Lolita-ish. The maroon arm warmers from Maitreya are finishing the outfit.

I’m wearing Aden’sbeautiful new Gen 4 skin in dark tan (Naked)and Maitreya’s Chloe hair in chocolate.

More Than Meets the Eye Goes Flickr

Posted in Fashion Challenge, LOTD, MV-SL-Fashion, photography, photos on February 15, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Yep, I’ve made a More Than Meets the Eye Fashion Challenge Flickr group. I love making outfits, and I used to do reader style at Second Style for a while, which I’ve always found very inspiring.  So I wanted to do something involving the readers of my blog, which is an ever increasing number. Thank you for that.

So… what is the idea… From the outfits that I make, I pick 1 item every other week, which can be clothes, or shoes, hair, accessories, skin.. anything that I have been using, and I challenge you to get creative with that item.

lotd090213

For starters I’ve picked the high waisted skirt from Whippet&Buck, of which currently all proceeds are going to the Victorian Bushfire Relief. If you follow my blog, you know that I am a total fan of a good system skirt,  because it’s elegant and versatile and (not unimportant if you plan on attending tonight’s date auction at 7Ultra for above mentioned charity) it’s no prim! 

Anyway, I’m rambling. Every challenge will run for 2 weeks, you may submit 5 photos every week and the winner will be featured on this blog and will receive a small cash prize (L$500). As you see, it’s just for the fun of it.  Post editing is allowed, even encouraged, as long as the photos are still about the clothes.

Looking forward to seeing you participate.

Today’s look is “build” around the glasses and the cardigan that Antonia Marat offers as a welcome gift to the members of her update subscribe- o- matic. Antie used to have a regular SL group for her shop Artilleri, with over 3,000 members, but it got eaten by SL, and LL for now has no idea if they are ever going to be able to bring that group back. So, to help get the word out: GO TO ARTILLERI AND SUBSCRIBE!!!! No really…. Antonia is a doll and it really sucks that after 3 years she has to start all over with what basically is her recorded client base. And of course, the welcome gift is just plain cute! I’m wearing the gift cardigan with a high waisted skirt from Whippet & Buck, currently available at Savvy?, of which all proceeds will go to the Victorian Bushfire Relief fundraiser. The scarf is Mraz Midnight from Decoy and the shoes are Armidi‘s Dalhia pumps in Cerise.

I’m wearing Truth‘s Antie hair in smoke (sale til February 25!) and the pretty soon to be released Grace skin from PXL Creations.

Been feeling blue lately,so eventrually that reflects in my clothes. Quite litterally today I’m afraid. I’m wearing the skirt from Savvy?’s Regina outfit (currently all proceeds of Savvy? are going tothe Victorian Bushfire relief fundraiser) with the top part of CKSD’s essential sweater dress in sky and accesoirizing with the Aemilia necklace of W&B (available soon) and Fleur’s midnight leather sash belt. The simple blue pumps are from Blaze, the fatpack of these should be a basic in every girl’s inventory since they cost only a fraction of what other, more advertised, sculpted pumps cost.

I’m wearing a splendor skin mod that Ana Lutetia made, I heart that lady, she’s so sweet. She has put these skins up for for the Victorian Bushfire Relief and the hair is Victoria, from Truth, which is his contribution to the same fundraiser

So, yeah… Siddean invited me the other day to come try her new platform shoes -feet included- and i was like “no way!….no frankenfeet for me!!” “just come and try” she said… so like a good girl, I went over and tried the demo on. I admit, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy I could avvicinate my skintone. Of course,if you use a SLink skin, it gets even easier, because Siddean has made presets for those. But even without using them,It was fairly easy to get it right. And with a little moving and tinkering, I could make them look pretty good. But still… hmmm…and then she released a special valentine’s version for only L$ 100, so I figured, what the heck, and I got me a pair. Ok, 2 pair, as I also picked up the blacks. I’m wearing it here with the skimpy Sophie mini dress from SkinFlicks and the bangles and earrings from Zaara.

Today’s hair is Harlow, from Cake. and the lovely Lustre skin is from Pixeldeep.

Sorry… slurls have to wait.. rl is calling!

Weeks ago I saw a girl with this coat on, and with her size 100 boobs, dito bum sticking out from under the prims and excessive bling, it was hard to recognise the beauty of the piece, part of the Furious outfit from Bishwear. But I wanted to show that you can dress up totally elegant with it, so I teamed the coat up with Coco’s white broadcloth blouse -I just love that collar-  LeLutka’s black wool pants, and Bax Coen‘s black ankle boots. With the Topaze crystal necklace and the Times Square ring from Paper Couture, you can make an entrance anywhere.

I picked the classic Poynter hair from Armidi and I coulnd’t resist the special skins from Fleur that are part of the current Vain Inc. gridwide hunt. They have the loveliest red glossy lips (shown: Sable)

Sela, from Luminosity, is one of those old outfits that so far survives every inventory purge,and that’s because I love the skirt and every once in a while, I still really like wearing it.Like today, with the alabaster Cole top from Whippet&Buck (soon to be released) and the lovely Courtesan corset from LoveLace, the yearly lingerie collab between Launa Fauna and Nephilaine Protagonist. I Accessorised with the Ruma necklace and the Florinagon bangles from Shiny Things’ Florina set. The shoes are Maitreya’s brown Verves.

I’m wearing Efe light tan from PXL Creations, which was released earlier today after a mob of crazed fashionistas threathened to obduct Mr.Larsson if he didn’t make Efe available in a lighter skintone as well ( ok, I’m exagerated… but he did get a LOT of requests) and Truth‘s Louisa pigtails in Java, still on sale til the end of the month for 50 L$ for a colour pack, and 300L$ for “The Whole Truth”.
