Canimal made donuts… and I LOVE donuts, so it was a great occasion to visit her shop again and these days, when I shop, usually an outfit comes from it. This time, donut inspired!

I took Cani’s Juicy dress and combined it with Muism’s black biker jacket (made a bit darker) and Truth‘s Xanadu leggings. The scarf is Decoy‘s Mraz. I know I use it a lot, but it’s perfect to wear with a collared item, and it fits the retro theme of this look. The shoes are Canimal’s again Boneyard Voodoo. The earrings and bangles are Freshly Baked Goods, and the glasses are from Artilleri.

The hair I picked for this look is from Ingenue, Deco Doll, the skin is Chai‘s Double shot Mistress 02 and the blood red nails are from Fleur. And now I’m off to eat donuts (clickable to change flavour)

PS. couldn’t resist posting Canimal’s donut ad… it’s too cute:

Ok, it really is from yesterday. I was TP- ing around to make a nice wintery photo. I really like the turn that Truth is taking with his designs lately. This is the Kawaii sweater in in Luna, worn with the taupe bloom trousers (Hurray for cord). With the huntress boots in soil and Babyhoney hair, this is pretty much a single designer outfit. The cozy armwarmers are the exception and are from Maitreya.

The lovely skin was the reason to go all girly après ski look. It’s Fleur DNB Shoujo 3, in their new skin tone Azalea.

Anyusha Lilienthal from Ibizarre makes some pretty fine clothes lately. The other day I showed you the orange vest. This time I got creative with her Paloma knit dress.While it is perfectly cute on its own, I combined it with the green Xanadu leggings from Truth, the yellow patent belt from Fleur, which I dyed in a matching green anf the Mraz scarf from Decoy, tinted as well. The locket is from Yummy. I didn’t recolour however the brown billow boots from Maitreya.

The skin is Indie, from Dutch Touch, which I like for the creamy body and the sexy mouth and the hair with beanie is Babyhoney from Truth

When I saw this pair of aubergine Sgt. Pepper trousers from TOSL, I immediately had this look in mind. It’s perfect with the blue military coat from Muism, which I have bought ages ago, but never really found good use for. The look gets completed with the black glam tank from Michami, the pink border fringe stole from Massimo, the black gloves from Fleur with the Everbloom ring from Paper Couture and ETD‘s blue Heather boots.

The hair is Exile‘s Kaori, in blizzard and the skin will be released later on Saturday (2pm slt, do not miss out on that!) and is the lastest addition to Fleur‘s Boutique skins: DNB Shoujo 6 in a slightly darker complexion (Azalea).

I spotted these feathers on an otherwise quite outrageous outfit (Raindraa) at Barerose, and I wanted them. Luckily everything in that place is so convenient that you can actually afford to buy a set for just a feather collar.

I mixed it with the jacket of Paper Couture’s Nightengale outfit (dyed in a rich burgundy to match the feathers) and added the cuffs of the Raindraa outfit as well. Then I hopped over to Maitreya to get Maiiki’s black strapless dress with that gorgeous black patent belt. I really hope GLAM wil be back soon, because everyone should have their metallic tintable tights (free) which are just perfect to wear with a festive little outfit like this. The shoes are among my fave, the Laques from Storm Schmooz. The jewelry is from Muse, Marguerite Peakock feather.

Luth is the sassy short hair style that I’m wearing, from Philotic Energy and the skin is Fleur‘s Allure China Femme Fatale 1.

I really start to believe that Samara Barzane and yours truly might be twins, separated at birth. We have the tendency to be working on similar blog posts at the same time, although we hardly ever discuss what we are doing. This time I saw Sam’s latest blog entry popping up in my feed, when I was composing my outfit, with the same vest, only I picked another colour. All in all it has become quite a different outfit then hers though.

Anyway, on to the goodies: The vest is from Ibizarre, and I am wearing the mudcake t-shirt from Truth with it (for the boys, but I like the colour). The jeans are the new school jeans made by Torrid for the Kari/Torrid/Starley/Zyrra project. I should have bought the fatpack of the Creamshop mufflers straight away, because by now I have bought almost all the separates, this being the orange. The old laced boots were the first I ever bought at Shiny Things. The necklace is Carollin from Luc, and so is the bangle from the Hardwood set. The cap is from Kari.

My hair is Harlow, the latest from Maitreya, and the skin is Celebrity in Sugar, from Chai.

I like these glasses that Antonia Marat made for Artilleri, because they give you the intelligent, somewhat serious look. It reflects my mood. Not feeling funny or witty, but rather pensive and serious. That’s what you get when someone is dissing a friend out of spite. It’s pettyful, and eventually what goes around, will come around, but I won’t get carried away by it.

That being said, the skirt is the latest from Dela, the lovely basic old school turtleneck is from CKSD, the thin Electro belt I picked up at Kyoot Army, the tights are from Sheer, the shoes are my beloved black Tuli Pumps from Shiny Things and the necklace is from Icon.

The hair, Tiana, is currently a bargain at ETD‘s ongoing sale, and the skin is a beta but already a masterpiece from PXL Creations. Not yet finished, but such an amazing level of detail already. I’ve witnessed the loving creation of every single layer on this skin and it’s going to be amazing and unique.

This weekend it snowed in my part of the world, winter wonderland images all around, but today it’s all gone again, and it’s dull November weather. To stick a bit to the feeling, I chose the Winter White military coat from Aoharu, and SySy‘s Diamond’s dress. Together with the silver Emme boots from Jaywalk it became a pretty pristine outfit. A touch of contrast was added with the tintable tights from GLAM (currently unavailable) as well as with the ML necklace and earrings from Icon.

The black yuruponi hair is the latest from Shop Seu and the skin is Pink, from Cake (skintone pearl)

Funny that this weekend one of SLsecrets was about veteran designers not getting any attention, because I feel that is true. Or at least, they’re are not always getting the attention that they deserve. I mentioned it in an interview that I did with Alta Moda last June, and I do try to give the designers that have paved the floor to SL fashion walhalla a platform as well. Especially if they have managed to still be on par with the current standards of SL fashion. Speaking of which, Nephilaine Protagonist from Pixeldolls has always been one of my favourite designers, and with her rez date mid 2003, I think you may say she’s… uhm… ancient? Her designs are not rusty at all though, and in my past 2 years blogging, I have more than once shared her designs with my readers.

I started this outfit with Pixeldolls‘ 2811 velvet long skirt and the dito top. It is a versatile and classy base for a number of outfits. Then I combined it with a lovely top from a relatively new designer, the gold Maitri jacket form Zaara. The jewelry is from the gold Florina collection from Shiny Things, who’s designer Fallingwater Cellardoor is also from 2003, and the gold ballet flats are from Armidi.

The hair is Nico in Autumn from Maitreya, and the skin is Innocense (soft ivory) from Pulse.

Sunday calls for a relaxed look and this shirt from Blaze is a perfect base. I believe it’s still available when you join the update group. I’m wearing it with the brown suede trousers from Celestial Studios and the gold glam tank from Michami, that I dyed in a matching brown. the boots are Melisande, from Jaywalk. Accesoires are the Mraz scarf form Decoy (sand, dyed) and the patent leather turquoise belt from Fleur (made a bit darker). The casual Chakra necklace and earrings are from Luc.

The skin is Alice, from Free Speerit and the hair is Zoey, the latest from Philotic Energy in honey.

I liked yesterday’s red hair, but I toned it down a wee bit for today with Truth‘s Elizabeth in Pumkin/Seaspray and I couldn’t resist MMS Helsinki skin to go with it, especially this one (light, make up 6) with the lovely pastel rainbow eye shadow.

So that set the tone for today’s outfit. Pastel, feminine. I remembered I picked up the pink coat at Cachet some time ago, so that was an easy pick. I added contrast with the rich dark blue Nicole trousers from Dela and the pink scarf from Massimo. Blaze‘s pumps are the plum ones, but I coloured them to match the scarf better, and I did that as well with the lilac gloves from Fleur. The sole accesoire in this outfit is a huge emerald ring from Paper Couture, which was a special release for the Jewelry expo 2007 and I don’t think it is available any longer.

Odd how something can trigger an outfit. In this case it was a notification from Camilla Yosuke that she had new things out. I read it with half an eye and headed over.

Usually Insolence newness makes me go into shopping mode. But it was not new undies, In fact, Camilla has been expanding her Misty line with sets of cuffs and collars, which is not really my cup of tea, but hey, one has to think out of the box sometimes and do something different, and besides, if you don’t buy the special Tokon HUD (Xcite) that apparently makes the cuffs talk or something, they actually are pretty cute fashion accesories.

So I decided to wear the wrist cuffs together with the awsome Dionne catsuit, also from Insolence’s Misty and make myself presentable with the highland warrior kilt from EMO-tions. The boots are my trusted biker boots from Shiny things. I am wearing the rosary from Luc Fashion Jewelry, which is actually for the guys, but it can be shrunk to fit a women as well and the facial piercings are from Puncture. The skin is Fleur’s Vivant Biba2 in buff (re-opening November 28, 2008) and Aitui’s faded Vintage Hawaii tatoo and the hair is Truth‘s Renee in Cranberry, which I gave an extra hint of orange to make it an even bolder colour.

I saw this cute full prim faux fur from PureStyle on Uma the other day and it made me curious if it would fit me. Uma looks like a very slender avie to me, and it looks sweet on her, but would I face massive prim editing to make it work for me? No! I only turned the right upper arm upside down, because somehow I think that looks better. I made it a total grey outfit, which I really like in RL as well. Grey is classy, and this winter it’s totally back in vogue too. The blouse (top and undershirt on the same layer) is Itaparica from Persona, as are the earrings. The pants are from Veschi, from the Jersey Girl outfit and the shoes are from ::69:: as is the J.Lo hair. the skin is MMS New York Light make up 2a.

Red is one of my favourite colours. Anything red puts me in a happy mood. I have had my eyes for quite some time on Dela’s Jape stern boots, for the pretty ribbons, but I always struggled on how to wear them. These are not boots that I like with a cocktail dress, like on display in the Dela shop, so I tried something else. I went over to Aitui and picked up one of his v-neck shirts, and headed back to Dela for the Daisy vest, of which I dyed the red parts darker (edit linked parts) to match the dark red of the boots. The jeans are my faves currently, made by Torrid Midnight for the New School collaboration of TorridWear, Kari and Celestial Studios.
On the accessories’side, I’m wearing the red belt from Shiny Things (also dyed darker), the red Summer Essence bangles from +Plus and the pretty Mraz scarf from Decoy. The hair is ETD‘s Emily in blonde, and the skin is PXL Creation’s Linda with the red lips and glam eyes in the new blonde brows version.

I was taking photo’s for Antonia Marat’s flickr group, and the outfit stuck to me all day, so I might as well share it with you. The top, the tattoo, the glasses and the flower are all from Artilleri. The brown leather pants are from Adam ‘n Eve. I dyed them a bit, the original is more of a cool brown , and I wanted it warm. The belt is from SLink and the scarf (also dyed) is from Decoy. The shoes are Armidi’s. the hair is Nikita, from Truth and the skin is Linda Gen2 from PXL Creations. And killing me with style is Funky’s ciggie.
