So, today’s look is a pretty colourful mess again….. I’ve taken KA Designs’ Mira dress and used the top as a blouse, with under it W&B’s Hykova Tanktop in Valentino. Then I picked Kari/TW’s new school jeans (yeah, again… Torrid… make me some colours… pretty, pretty please!) and added the low hipster belt in purple from League and the coloured white plain belt from Kari. I’m also wearing Artilleri’s yellow Nora glasses and Lucas Lameth’s Nalah necklace.

Today’s skin is Cupcakes’ Seduction Topaz in Cameo, and the hair is an upcoming release at Truth… so keep an eye on theblog, because it’s gorgeous!!

Chryselda Evening Gown

Another designer who is making her way back to the grid is Shai Delacroix. After a hiatus of roughly 3 months, she’s back in action and she hasn’t lost her touch. The Chryselda gown comes in 2 combinations and is flamboyant and stylish. I’m wearing the gowns with the Hingis hair from Tukinowaguma, and I have recoloured the flowers to match the gown better. The ornament is colour change, but the options are rather harsh colours and the options are limited. I’m wearing Cupcakes’Seduction Brownie, in the skintone Cameo.

These sets are the latest at Insolence. Camilla has been away for a while, but she’s back, and these are so cute! Several pastels like peach, lavender, blue and green were chosen for these almost nostalgic undies. Welcome back Camilla!



Just a quick look thrown together with some new things from a couple of my favourite designers. Milla from Michami has made these totally sexy Afton dresses, and I’m wearing the cream one for the occasion. I’ve matched it with Surf Couture’s brown floral cab sweater and their dark brown freedom flops ( I love them, should have bought the fat pack). The wood necklace is from Sole, by Shouko Kanto, who is totally new for me, but oh my, is this a pretty necklace!

   I’m wearing my favourite beta, Kim, from PXL Creations (Hart has started make ups by now) and the fabulous Linda hair, from Truth.

Endless

Miskat Qinan, builder of Endless, has been venturing into the tiny prim twisting and created some jewelry. This it the Endless Black 001. The black series is designed to be worn by unconventional and fashionable guys, but it looks pretty good on a woman’s neck as well. It’s 125 prims of tastefulness… not bad mr. Qinan…. not bad at all. As we speak a new necklace in the female, white, series is in the making. I’ll post a photo of it when it’s available.

With the intention of keeping the jewelry line somewhat exclusive, Miskat decided for now not to set up a shop for the Endless jewelry line. If you are interested in acquiring one of his designs, please feel free to contact Miskat Qinan in world.

I mean… when did they finally decide it was enough? The Hykova tank tops come in 32 (!) wonderful colors… and on all the useful layers. The tops are the slightlest bit  transparent, so that cute bra you’re wearing under it will shimmer through… unless ofcourse you’ll decide to layer up and wear more layers over eachother.

Did I mention Coco is becoming one of my favourite shops… fast? She has 3 t-shirts out, really pretty basics, of which I’m wearing the khaki today. I’m wearing it with Muism’s tartan check pants Stewart, Nylon Outfitter’s 3-hole black belt and Maitreya’s desert boots (l love them). I’m wearing Genesis’Analu necklace and earrings and the Centimetric Wave glasses from Serious Giggle, by Kirin Xeno.

I’ve been buying a lot of the male hair at Uncleweb lately. It’s totally cute. This is Jin 02 in coffee. My skin is Kim, which is still in beta at PXL, but I think Hart is finally happy with how she looks by now… so keep an eye open.

Shine: Lustrous eyes

 

Shine Lustrous eyes, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I just went over to Shine to pick up some of Brandy’s latest eyes… they are gorgeous! For 50 L$ per colour, you get 2 pairs, normal and large. I’m wearing the large version. They give you a somewhat softer look, which I like a lot.

Opposites make interesting looks when paired in an outfit. The Cutesy strawberry mini skirt from ❤ Cupcakes with the red wrap top from the same brand, mixed with Coco’s midnight denim jacket remind me of what a lot of girls used to wear in high school (mind you, mid 80’s). But most of us back then had girly braids or ponytails, making the outfit just sweet… This time I’ve chosen to wear a more bold look, with KMADD’s Army crop, which was made for male Belezza skins, but I don’t really care about that label, because it’s a perfect match with my hair based PXL skins as well. Speaking of which, I’m wearing the latest beta version of Kim in the tan version and it’s going to be so pretty. 

For acccesoires I stuck to Genesis’ Annah hoops and MiamMiam’s Retro Chic necklace (currently not available)

Sometimes you just don’t feel like dressing up, but luckily I have my virtual closet full of casuals like this hoodie (vintage parka) from Algernon, with pretty awesome shading! Under it I’m wearing the Trompe l’Oeil top from Sugarcube and the white jeans from Celestial Studios. The Mina flats in fire engine red are from Truth.

I’m wearing La Sylphide’s latest skin Poppy light in Autumn Leaves and Maitreya’s Apple hair in Gold Blond.

Some of yesterday’s pinkness got stuck on me, so I was drawn again to the girly stuff in my inventory… although the result is ladylike rather than girly. I started out with the lovely floral tank top that is a group gift at Coco and went in search for a perfect skirt to go with it. I think Iki and Onyx have done a pretty good job in their joint Maiiki line and I chose the skirt from their green strapless dress, and the cerise patent belt (tinted) from, duh, the cerise strapless dress.

Michami’s Ebba white scarf is one of my new accesoires favourites, so that was an easy pick, and I’m wearing Genesis’Aiden bangles, with the pink and the green bangle coloured more intense (edit>edit linked parts>select the prim> add colour… don’t touch the texture part!) and also Genesis’ Annah hoops. I’m wearing Maitreya’s fuchsia slinky stilettos as well, which are a perfect match, but ended up invisible in the cropping of this picture.

I’m wearing one of my old favourites from ETD, Wynn, in chocolate and a new lovely skin from Dutch Touch, Sun, which was released yesterday.

Hmm…. you know, apparently it’s pink time again. And Monday…. *sighs* oh well… time flies, so it will be weekend again before I know it. Anyway I’m wearing the Candy Hearts top frm STUFF with the knee length denim from Coco and, also from Coco, the girlish check around the waist shirt. The knee socks are frm the candy set from STUFF again and I’m wearing the Wests High tops in cement, from Truth. The Aemilia earings are from Whippet & Buck, and the Sakura/butterfly tattoo is from Orchid Dreams ( I don’t think this shop still exists…. couldn’t find it back).

I’m wearing Truth’s Angelina in coffee and La Sylphide’s new skin Poppy, in the light skin tone woth the Garden Party make up.

With the first skins of the Evolution line, sachi Vixen, (skin)designer at Adam ‘n Eve, has proven yet again that she’s by no means static, and still developing as a designer. With Evolution she shows that she has mastered the art of making flawless skins with high photo realism, which, although the grid is flooded with photoreal skins, is still an art. Check her skins for seams, or smudges… you won’t find them. After “Man Month” April, in May she’s back with yet another treat for the girls: Beauty. sachi, a blonde herself, told me that with all the skins she has been making, she had not yet done a real blonde one and that Beauty was about to fill that gap. I’ve had the pleasure of beta-ing Beauty, so I’m pretty familiar with her by now, but my initial reaction was that I thought she was gorgeous, and I only think so more now.

Beauty is available in 8 make ups. When sachi asked me about make up suggestions I could only beg her to keep it subtle. Shimmery  glosses, hints of eye shadows, touches of colours… but please do not cover this beautiful face under harsh eyeliners, and bold colours. It would make her more “in your face” maybe, but it would also rob her of her Grace Kelly like elegance and chique. Thank goodness sachi shared my opinion on make ups, so all 8 of them, while still colourful and distinct, all have a transparent character… not covering Beauty, but merely underlining her.

Whippet & Buck have newness! Cozy sweaters in great colour combinations. So what if it is in the guy’s section…? It just looks good on me… and in RL I steal mr Horwitz’ sweaters all the time as well. At 130 L$ per sweater, these are just too good not to get.

I’m wearing them here with the Stein shorts, also from Whippet & Buck and yes, these are from the ladies department.

I’m in Adam ‘n Eve’s soon to be released Beauty (review to follow later today) and Truth’s new Zach hair (Golden).

Iki’s Moon

Iki Ikarus has been busy… after a hiatus from SL, she has been working on skins again. This is Moon. Unlike most of the skins currently being released, where photo realism, no, ultra realism seems to be the trend, Iki opts for hand drawn smoothness. No varicose veines, no cellulitis and no t-zone issues for Moon. Moon comes in 5 skintones in the light/medium complexion range.  4 of which I’m wearing in the make up collage, and the 5th is used in the body shots. Moon has the loveliest lips, most of them in the soft pink shades that Iki is known of and which make such a cute contrast with her urban cloting collection. The 15 make ups are going from really subtle to more bold, but they are never outrageous. Barely coloursd lips through lush wine colored mouths, and very naturel eyes through deep smoldering smokey looks and they come in a version A and a B where B has a  slightly heavier version of the make up. There are demos available for all skins and they are really worth trying out on your shape.
