New Lapine make ups @ L.Fauna

Yay… just a quicky to show the gorgeous new make ups that Launa Fauna made for her Lapine skins with addictive names like Laudanum, Madame, Morphine, Opium and Overdose. With all the 2.0 excitement, and the pics I’ve been taking around SL since I came home from work last night, I’d almost forget about the newness.

I ❤ Launa, she prettifies me 🙂

SL2.0 beta went live today, and though I was warned I’d probably hate it, I could not resist downloading the new viewer today. Well, yes, things work differently from the traditional viewer, but oh my… I have a killer performance so far. I had an ATI Radeon rendering bug which made my sky go all wonky (starry) if i didn’t uncheck the atmospheric shaders, or derendered the clouds… hey, what good is my killer new laptop when I can only use the low graphic settings to have a fairly normal view??

Well, people… I can tell you, that bug has been solved with SL2.0!!! I can enjoy the beauties of Windlight again…

and you know what? I can also enjoy the benefits of an extra face layer, for make ups or tattoos… or beauty marks, or freckles.. or… or… or…. The ones I’m showing are made by Sachi Vixen from Adam ‘n Eve. Can you imagine the possibilities??

Of course people have been discussing alread what this would mean for the skinners of SL, and the consumers… basic skins becoming expensive… having to pay a lot for additions? Well… I still want good skins and make ups… but I’d happily pay for a beauty mark, or a funky make up which I would not pay a whole skin for, or a scar, or.. well… the possibilities are nearly infinite I think!

So hello SL2.0… you’re weird… but weird isn’t necessarily bad!!!

Aaaaand … we’re back to comfy!! Kyoot’s taupe Low Back Ruffle Mini dress is teaming up with Atomic’s ribbon legging (New Years group gift) and fri.day’s Melanie Infinity scarf.
The belt is from Dela’s long knit cardi (hazel) and the flats are from fri.day (if they ever do a mega sale again, fatpack on these, they are SO worth it… fatpack on these even if not on sale… I wear them so much!)

The hair I’m wearing is Melanie from fri.day which was made to be worn with the scarf. I’m wearing the Jaded blond, which is my favourite fri.day shade I think. Ife from LeLutka in sunkissed (Make up 3) is my skin of choice today.

Wearing the Jacket of Diram’s Cheryl Attire today, matched with Baiastice’s leather skirt for a pretty sharp looking outfit, if I may say so myself.

Because of the straps and buckles on the jacket, I’ve kept it simple with accesoires, wearing just the earrings of Icon’s BC set. The black patent leather pumps are Silvera, from Dela.

Ife suntan make up 7 is today’s skin of choice, the Jolie prim nails are from SLink and the Model 2 hair is from Waka & Yuki.

SLurls are listed here, as usual.

W&Y hair: Model 2

W&Y hair: Model 2, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I just had to share this hair from Waka & Yuki with you. W&Y became well known for their insanely cheap but really nicely done hair, but the brand has grown, and they have recently opened a sim of their own with an awesome new build, very regal and spacious.

Over time they have upped their prices a bit, but with the options they often offer with their hairdo’s 200 for 4 colours is still not a bad price at all. W&Y have not the best textures in my opinion, but they compensate with originality and accesoires.

This hair is from their Model section (Model 2) and i love it because a) I’m a total sucker for feminine short hair and b) I love the retro 60’s cut to this hair.

Other than W&Y I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Amber skin, Paper Couture’s Diamond Pearl Menagerie jewelry and Donna Flora’s Nivea dress.

The new camo shorts from League are so cute! I was tempted to get the purple one and dress it all up pink… but in the end I decided for a red look instead with Kyoot’s brown Tiny Collar cropped jacket and Zaara’s wine Mishti tank. The red flats are from fri.day.

I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Maan Carmen and the new Tiny Bird hair By & By in warm black. You must all go and check Tiny Bird’s new shop build, it’s lovely!!

Artilleri’s Paula glasses are my favourites on the grid, they are low prim, and they look a bit like my RL glasses :-).

Preview: Michami’s Tori

Michami: Tori, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Time for a little teaser… tomorrow, my lovely neighbour Milla Michinaga will release her next batch of lovely dresses, named Tori. Tori is reminiscent of the “geometrical” dresses André Courrèges was famous for in the 60’s. I am wearing the dresses as is here, but think of the options for combining them with other Michami items, like the Pia leggings for instance.

I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Roos Caramel City and Fri.day’s Nicole (jaded Blonde) and Fri.day’s Joanna2 with the Indigo dress.

Other styling notes:
Tori Brown: Cream shop’s orange linen stole and GOS’ Docs
Tori Black : Armidi’s Niama necklace in silver & J’s long boots round
Tori Indigo: Zaara’s Kaya coral necklace and bracelet & Armidi’s Orange Dalia pumps
Tori Green: Maitreya’s brown long scarf & Naughty Designs brown high mocassins
Tori Red: alaMood’s Keeper of Hearts necklace and fri’day’s red flats.

Pulling a fierce look for today’s post, it started with 5th & Oxford’s The Tease corset, which is really awesome in a strong, sexy look because of the vibrant, rich colours it was made in and I’m wearing Fri.day’s new low rise jeans (light) with it.

I was at Connors’earlier and picked up their black leather coat and I think it works very well with the other parts of this outfit. The thigh high boots are from J’s (by J.B. Gazov). The Androgynous earrings are from Fairy Tail. The fully sculpt and awesome butterfly sunglasses are from GOS.

I’m wearing the Kanji Krazy 1 tattoo from HUZ Tats and the black manicure from PXL Creations and MADesigns’ Seth in smooth brown III on my Maan skin (copper make up) from Dutch touch.

3 new hairs at Truth today as well as shirts for the guys and dresses for the ladies (remember that adorable Martini dress which was a group gift in December? it’s out in a lot of colours now!)

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 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?

Just a quick look, with a touch of Mardi Gras in it. Earlier today the Lelutka Update group received these Jest Away leggings, and I’m wearing them with Fri/day’s black Comfy Cardi and Nyte ‘n Day’s grey Spun tank (it comes with black and white laxce!)

I decided to wear the red suede Prestige Boots from Bax Coen with this, which were a lovely gift from my dear friend Jori (thanks, kitten) and added a few more red accents with the Cord Wrap Necklace from Illusions (colour change on touch) and the flowers in Fashionably Dead’s Rainy Day hair (colour: Solo Dancer).

I’m smitten with Dutch Touch’s latest release Maan, and I’m wearing the Carmen make up today.

Slurls, as usual, can be found here.

I’m so in love with this new skin from Dutch Touch, Amber. The mouth is amazing, and the skin tone is just uhm… liquid chocolate. I just keep playing with the various make ups. I’m wearing smokey this time around. The hair is the latest release from fri.day, Marie, in cranky brown.

Clothingwise I’m wearing Coco’s black assymetric mini skirt and the over the shoulders black cardigan from the same brand. The grey tank waffle is from Dutch Touch and tthe bra peeking out from under that is from the Mile High set by Blacklace. I’m wearing the silver version of alaMood’s Keeper of Hearts set, perfect for that last minute V-day gift (yes, alaMood has gifting options!), and the outfit is completed by Tesla’s black Angelina boots.
