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
Lashes: Magika Real prim eyelashes (no alpha interference)

Tube top: BOOM Her Pleasure void
Top:BOOM Bodacious hot pink
Blouse: Mr Poet off shoulder white shirt
Shorts: Surf Couture Cafe shorts
Shoes: GOS Espadrilles (various texture possibilities available)

Necklace: U&R Dogs Rigoletto necklace

Congratulations, Luca!! (Little RL message… as a reminder that I need to call a special, old friend today)

These weeks are hectic, but it’s still fun to throw an outfit together. I must admit, I am very happy with Hunain being on a (blog) roll right now, no pun intended. His contributions challenge me to be creative and to look into new stuff. Like for today’s look, it probably would have taken me like uhm… forever, to discover the awesome (unisex) pants at Zoobong, or the amazing and oh so affordable stuff from HoC.

Anyway, let’s get down to business, shall we?

Hair: Gritty Kitty Butters (blonde)
Skin: Laqroki Pearl 09 (fair)
Shape: custom by me, not available

The Asian shirt from yesterday’s look was not the only thing I picked up while I was shopping at Arai. This blue striped Simple Twas also among my purchases. I’m combining it with the red cuffs of Artilleri’s red Beatrix shirt to make it a bit more girly. The red Sendal scarf was a x-mas gift from the creators behind Maitreya and I don’t think it’s available in the shop, but I love it and I wear it quite often.
The Anjuna pants are from Zaara and the white Sheila thongs are from SLink. the grey “My VW Thing”sunglasses are from Surf Couture.

I’m still in PXL Creations new beta skin, although this is like 5 versions after the one I wore yesterday and Anna in timid brown from fri.day is today’s hair.

Mmmmm.. yes… I saw Mimikri released these Anouk tops and I just had to have it! It has a boho chic touch, and I went for an Ibiza look with Surf Couture’s shack shorts (dark).

Skin Flick’s pink tortoise shell sunglasses and Zaara’s Vanisri wrapped necklace turquoise-silver are the accesoires to this outfit.

I’m wearing Truth’s Chalice in seaspray and Lelutka’s Ife light, make up 3.

[22:22] Jori Watler: we need to go there
[ 22:22] Jori Watler: Concrete Flowers

And we did… I got an adorable penis lollipop (unsure) on the local lucky chair, and after my G, Jori was the lucky girl too with  and got that very same gift. So don’t believe her EVER again when she says she doesn’t get any. But goofing aside, and it IS a shop full of goof and gadgets, there is also a collection of really wearable clothes. I couldn’t resist this striped Popanz Knit top (colour 1) and a number of other items, which I’m sure will make it to the blog sooner or later.

I’m wearing it with Reek’s Laundry Day Hoodie and Tiny Bird’s matching Laundry Day hair in Bistre. I’m in love with Surf Couture’s latest releases, and these shack shorts are among them, as are the boardwalk shoes, which I’ve featured in a LOTD post a couple of days ago, and likely will feature again in the coming days, because I just can’t seem to leave them off for long.

Today’s skin is Lapine Laudanum from L. Fauna (tan 1).

Today’s look, once again, is about being comfortable and cozy… and a little but about spring, even if it still seems far away where I live. But Emma from Surf Couture has released the cutest Boardwalkers (shown in Hemp) which I was just dying to show off. So I’m wearing them with Coco’s Loose flair jeans and Tres Blah’s Neato shirt, which I really think Juliette should make in like 1 million colours!.

Under the shirt, the Moana bikini from Surf Couture in Pretty Berry and Flowey’s be still my heart tattoo.

Kavar Cleanslate from Exile has been working his hawt pixel butt of on new hair textures, and they are AWESOME!!!! I’m wearing Amelia here in Marble, and it looks so good… so natural. Maan from Dutch Touch has been promoted to my (current) default skin. I feel so “me” when I wear this skin. Violet is today’s make up.

Chalice’s Challenge: Always the Bride, Never the Bridesmaid

Posted in Challenge, Dutch Touch, Lamb!, LeLutka, Lucas Lameth, Maitreya, Nicky Ree, Surf Couture, Tres Beau, Tukinowaguma, Zaara, tagged , , , , , , , , , on February 16, 2010| 2 Comments »

Chalice Carling has issued such a lovely challenge, which totally appeals to my addiction of dressing up. You can read all about it here, but the long story short is… create 2 bridal looks, with stuff from your inventory, without actually using a bridal gown, So, without further ado… let’s proceed with the ceremonie For the church ceremony I have picked Lelutka’s white Leona dress and the short coat from Très Beau’s Winter Whites outfit. The necklace is Athena Crystals from Lucas Lameth and the simple white slinky stilettos are from Maitreya.

With my Maan Carmen skin from Dutch Touch, I’m wearing Tukinowaguma’s Bouquet SH In platinum, and I retextured the flower wrap for a more.. uhm… bridal touch.

I don’t think I’d ever get married in church, and I really can’t see myself in a battleship wedding dress… but this is actually something I might feel (somewhat) comfortable in .

Now a beach wedding… that’d be nice! Way more laid back and casual, and though I first wanted to put on some skimpy bikini, I turned out making an outfit which I think is actually very romantic!

Nicky Ree’s Summer breeze in Ivory, combined with the Silva veil, also from Nicky Ree, but with the white freedom flops from Surf Couture, because seriously… who is going to wear high heels on a beach wedding? I’m also wearing Zaara’s Parmini necklace and the Patra silver bracelet.

For this look I still went with Maan, but this time with the Fifties make up, and the super lovely hair is I’m a Romantic, from Lamb, in kitkat.

Slurls can be found here… live happily ever after, k?

Oh well.. so I forgot to post yesterday’s look yesterday and posted it over breakfast today, and here is today’s lotd, and as close a V-day look as you will get from me this year.

I’m wearing Atomic’s Cropped Love Tee in Pepto, and Dutch Touch’s MoTo jeans in grey. So funny that those stripes are somewhat in the shirt as well! J’s western boots are a logical choice with this outfit, and I love these pink ones, because it’s not too sweet a pink.

The pink straw hat is from Surf Couture, as is the weat i’m chewing on (comes with the hat). I’m wearing Flowey’s “be still my heart” tattoo, which I just realise is not visible under the braid of my Candice hair (from Truth) but I totally ❤ Flutter’s tats, so yeah… she makes txt tattoos now too, just so you know!

As said, the hair is Candice in coffee, and I modded it to fit with the hat. I see a lot of people who make the hat bigger, but seriously.. that’s not the way to do it, it makes your head look ridiculously big. Just make a colpy of the hair and shrink it, or edit linked prims and shrink the prims sticking out from the hat. I’m wearing Roos skin today, from Dutch Touch, in cream (City make up)

Ok, that’s it for the looks today…. slurls are here, as usual.

I love this new mods coat from DP Yum Yum. Toraij Voom is one of the content creators who really rocks my socks. I’m also wearing her new flower moccasin boots. It could be because of crappy SL, but they won’t come off, so I have been wearing them for days now.

For the rest I’ve kept my outfit pretty simple. Kari’s new school jeans are still my favourite denims and I wear them a LOT. The dusty rose Rendez-Vous v-neck shirt from Surf Couture I bought in the fat pack. It’s such a basic, and it comes on all useful layers, so you will see it back in many an outfit on this blog.

I’m wearing Lelutka’s Ife (Sunkiss, make up 3), which I like better and better every day, and Exile’s Amelia in Chimera.

Weekly Newness @ Truth: January 28, 2010

Yes, I’m an addict, and I probably need a program… but when Truth releases new hair.. I just need to have it. Thank goodness he’s putting his new releases on XStreetSL, so I don’t have to brave the lag at the shop… even though, with the poor tools for merchants to classify their products and with the number of releases, Truth’s XStreet hair section is likely to turn into one massive hair knot soonish.

Oh well… life is never perfect, right? Anyway, from left to right, we have Nicky, Melissa, Tamara and Joanna.

Other need to knows… I’m wearing Lelutka’s Ife in sunkissed (make up 3) and Surf Couture’s Rendez Vous v-neck in dusty rose.

O HAI Abby Cole!

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, photography, skins, Surf Couture, The Abyss, Tiny Bird, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 13, 2010| 1 Comment »

Abby Cole, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I like how the Abyss does not create skin, but Identities… and indeed, all their skins have very distinct characters. Abby Cole is portrayed as Teacher’s pet by her creator, but for me she’s also a delicious farm girl, so that’s how I decided to portray her. The fact that I’m spending a lot of time landscaping Leek Island is probably also part of my current country life fascination.

Anyway. I think Abby Cole has a delicious face. But like most skins at The Abyss the skin absolutely has issues. Seams, smudges… they’re all there. Also at 1400 L$ for a single skin, The Abyss is absolutely one of the more expensive skin shops. But what can I say, I’m a sucker for a sweet face.

Abby Cole comes in 2 skintones and is a natural red head, but the lighter browns will work very well on her. I’m wearing Tiny Bird’s Ring of Fire (ginger) and Surf Couture’s “I’m a little bit coutry” in Mossy Creek.

Hiccup

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, skins, Surf Couture, Tiny Bird, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 9, 2010| 3 Comments »

Hiccup, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Hmm… so.. instead of full reviews, I’ve decided to give a photo impression of the new skins which I like for a while. SL is being a serious pain in the you-know- what lately, and taking a lot of pics is not good for my mood *shakes tiny fist* .

One of the most striking skins lately is Très Blah creator Juliette Westerburg’s Hiccup.They were released little over a week ago for the Designers Unitded III Vaudeville event, and today Juliette has released yet another make up for this weekend’s stumblebum (and it’s only 300L$, so a great way to get to know this skin for a very reasonable price!)

Hiccup Lavender Lippie has the sweetest mouth and soft, delicate features. I’m wearing the light eyebrow version, but it also comes in a dark version, as well as without the freckles. But admit…. don’t you just think these are darling?

Other need to knows: I’m wearing Tiny Bird’s Love.Love.Love hair (name is an understatement, it’s Love.Love.Love.Love etc) and Surf Co.’s Violet Floral Slouchy Thread Sweater
