alaMood: D’jango, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Jori Watler of alaMood is currently my fave SL jeweler around. I really like her designs and execution, and besides, she’s just a really sweet lady too. d’Jango is her latest set, released earlier today and comes in silver and gold. Shown is just the pendant necklace and the earrings, but this set, or collection rather, also offers some gorgeous stacked bracelets, a multiple strand necklace (without pendant) and a double chain necklace. alaMood is stylish, yet affordable. Prices vary from L$ 100 for a pair of earrings to 450L$ for the set of 3 multiple strand necklaces.

Oh, BTW, today only Jori has a large part of her inventory marked down for Black Friday!!!!

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

Beauty Avatar has been a presence for about 2 years in SL now, with a growing skin inventory and apparently a dito client base. I’ll be very honest with you all. It’s one of the brands I couldn’t care less about. The skins were totally unappealing to me, and so is their brand image… but…, credits where credits are due, their current skin Daria is fast becoming one of my favourites (ok… for what that’s worth, because I fave skins like a teenager has crushes, another one every week… or even multiples a week).

Seriously though, I’ve tried both their latest releases, Zeta and Daria, and whereas Zeta to me still has that sad, spoiled, face ( it’s the highlight on the mouth causing that expression)  Daria is serene pixelfied sophistication. Yes, I’m in love… and if, like me, you never were a fan before… I can recommend you to go at least try a demo.

Yes, it’s that time of week again: 4 new hairs are out at Truth. He has worked in some new, really curly, textures in Cyndi, Grace and Kenzie, which make these styles very cute and playful.

Cyndi is reminiscent of the whimsical hairdo’s of ms. Cyndi Lauper, Grace is the voluminous bob I can only dream of in RL, Kenzie is just too cute for her own good with the curly pigtails on the back and Molly is a more straight, assymetrical, ponytail.

I find myself wearing KA Designs‘ skins more and more often. They have the right amount of realism and softness for me. New in the Bardot range is Agnes, with a gorgeous face on a stunning body. Seriously, I’ve been scrutinizing this skin, and there is literally 1 thing that I found less appealing to me… Agnes has a torn cuticle. Yes, the skin is that good, that my only issue with it is that she could use some cuticle cream… on 1 finger (ok… on both digits, but that is because the SL upper body template has only one arm to work with)

There are 9 make ups plus a bare skin in every one of the 3 skintones. I binged on the pale fat pack, which I think is not really pale, but oh well. Then they all come in 2 hair colours and a hair and non hairbase version. I know that, if you are a hardcore blonde, you couldn’t care less about the black and the brown hair/brow version, but for a chameleon like yours truly, it’s really value for money. There are also 3 hair pieces for this skin. They are done well, but I still think it looks odd  on a hairbase. Maybe because I don’t really care for the hairbase option anyway.

Shiryu Mushashi’s beautiful December Warmth houndstootch coat is the center piece of today’s look. Under it, I’m wearing the most basic clothing, Coco‘s turtleneck sweater (group gift) and Lelutka‘s black wool pants. The hat and fur muff are also from Lelutka, it’s a Le.Look exclusive. alaMood‘s Athshe earrings complete this wintery look.

Today’s skin is Beauty Avatar‘s Daria (natural 04).

NEWNESS!!!

I’m still doubting whether my fave this week is Micah or Tallulah… but before the day is over, it might very well have shifted to Harper or Paloma… anyway, did I mention there is new hair out at Truth?

I was looking for a way to dress up 5th & Oxford’s lovely summer Cosmo cocktail dress. Turns out it goes really well with the grey fur bolero from Coco Designs and the Neyya grey pumps from Maitreya. Accesoires are the dragon fly brooch from the Femme Noir outfit from Icing, and the Athena crystal bracelet from Lucas Lameth.

I’m wearing Zoe in latte from Truth, and the first skin from Beauty Avatar I actually like, Daria (light make up 05)
