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

3 Little Things

3 little things, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Following Samara’s lead in this challenge, I’ve spent my night thinking what 3 things I’d really miss if they would not be in my inventory any longer.

It’s difficult. In 3 years in Second Life, one collects a lot of stuff with memories attached, so other than the few dollars that they may have cost, the sentimental value is way more important. Of course one collects an ever bigger amount of crap and still grows attached to that, so that makes it even harder.

The first snapshot I ever saved to my inventory, the limited Dazzle and Last Call gowns, quirky notes from old friends, now long gone from SL… to be honest, I’d miss that all. But… Sam is a tough cookie to deal with, and three is three for ms Barzane… so, what I would really miss are my Magika lashes (no alpha, but all prims, so no interference with my tons of hair!!), the grey gold large eyes from PXL Creations (worthy replacement of my beloved Miriel eyes which are no longer available) and the alaMood one of a kind jewelry set which my bestie Jori made on request of my SL one and only Truth for my birthday last week.

Special mention for my mystitool…. since Mystical Cookie seems to have disappeared off the surface of the earth in both worlds, there have not been any updates, but still it’s the best gadget a girl can have!

About Lashes

PXL July, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Must have been 2 years ago since the first “prim” lashes entered the grid and how amazing it was that all of a sudden we could set the fugly system lashes to zero and wear something that definitely looked better.
Or could look better… because a lot of fashionistas still have massive trouble making the lashes look good. Part of that may be because they are just not that prim savvy, which after all is very well possible when you see the amount of bad fitting prims on outfits around (I recommend the Ivory Tower for basics on building for that), but it’s also cause by the fact that these prim lashes have a lot of alpha (transparency) in the texture, and always hover in front of your eyes, or, when you try to really attach them to your eyes, they will interfere with the mesh. Not to mention when you wear blonde hair which covers part of your face, that the lashes will flicker through because of the alpha interference issue.

So if you take a lot of pictures, you will keep adjusting and adjusting with the change of angle to make them look good (and oh will they look bad when you turn the other way around). But earlier this yeah Lelutka introduced their full prim Diva Lashes, 151 nano prims, a pain to adjust but once fitted, really awesome for pictures and the other week I discovered the “Real prim” eye lashes from Magika, with the same principle, full prim, but only on the upper eyelid, and “only”51 prims instead of the 151 from Lelutka. For me these are the perfect solution. I didn’t have to adjust them at all, I only moved the root prim a wee bit around (but I realise that, if your eyeshape is less mainstream, you will have to invest time to make these fit!). But once you’ve accomplished that then you won’t be annoyed anymore with the space between the lashes and your eyelids, or the lashes sticking through your hair.

I think these are a definite fashion must have. You’ll find them at Magika‘s skin section, upstairs

Today’s look is inspired by this sweater shrug from Stellar. I can’t believe in 3 years in SL that I have never before been to Lexi Morgan’s shop, but it’s true. Whereas a lot of things in her shop are a little too revealing for me, it’s all really well made, and I totally appreciate that. I’m wearing the shrug with Madsy’s tiered grey cami, and Whippet & Buck’s Georgie tapered trousers in black. The flats are from fri.day.

I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Jolie and Magika’s Darling blonde B.

Look of the Day, August 31, 2009

When today during coffee break, I checked my mail and found an inventory offer from fellow blogger and new fashion designer Elysium Eilde from Elymode, I couldn’t wait to log in to see what she sent to me. This lovely long dress was waiting for me upon coming home. Ely Eilde is still pretty new at making clothes, but this one is really nicely done, with a pretty rumpled waist and and a subtle sheer skirt. A nice detail is the series of little buttons on the back of the waist. Promising design, makes me want to see more of Elysium’s creations.
I have kept today’s look fairly simple, as the halter cleavage is enough of an eye catcher already, so I’m just wearing Mandala‘s Soul 2 set in purple.

Today’s hair is Cake from Magika in Blonde C and I’m wearing my favourite PXL Creations skin, Kim natural NE nude lips.
