It’s that time of the week again… more hair…. and yes, you know you need more.. even when your inventory is crashing with it as is….

This weeks pretties are, from left to right: Lulu, Sage, Danielle, and my fave of the week, how can it not be since it has my RL name, Caroline.

They’ll be out in a bit, so clear cache, defragment your computer and prepare to brave the lag…. or visit Truth’s storefront at xstreetsl.com.

OK… so I agree… this is not the usual outfit for some serious gardening… but pixels don’t make you dirty! I’ve been working on another corner of Leek Island today, dressed like this.

I’m wearing Redgrave’s transparent knit sweater which I stole from a friend of mine :-P. It’s from Redgrave’s male collection, but as usual, it looks better on me than on my buddy. The bra which keeps it half decent is from Pig, from the softies collection and shimmering under that you can still see some of HUZ tats’Timeless tattoo. The Rebel Rebel asphalt jeans skirt is from 5th & Oxford. With this outfit, I’m wearing Tesla’s black Angelina boots, but they got cropped out… totally awesome boots though.

I’m wearing a triple lip ring from Puncture and an unreleased stack of rings from alaMood (SLDD of coming Saturday!). Other than that I’m wearing Ife light (make up 2) from Lelutka and Nick hair in meteorite from St.Uw (Uncleweb).

SLurls can be found here, as usual.

Frilly Little Bras & Frilly Little Knickers

Posted in L.Fauna, MV-SL-Fashion, Truth, Whippet & Buck, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 2, 2010| 1 Comment »

Frilly Cherry Blossom, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Finally Dakota and Twiggy from Whippet & Buck decided to make some frilly little bras to go with their frilly little knickers which have been items in 50 L$ Fridays in the past. They are little, frilly and oh yes, adorable too… and they come in 8 delicious colours. They are available as separates and in convenient fat packs.

For those among us who currently live in their undies *coughs* Jori *coughs* these are an absolute must have. One thing though… I couldn’t help but giggle as I imagined all the voluptuous chested ladies wearing these frilly bras… and how their girls would suffer if they were wearing these in RL with ditto cupsizes… sorry… my bad :-D.

Other need to knows: I’m wearing L.Fauna’s Lapine (tan 1) fresh and Truth’s Bailey hair in coffee.

Slurls can be found here.

A casual look for a snowy monday… I picked up the saddle brown Vanity jacket, which disappoints me a bit texturewise, but I like the style of it. Yes, there, I’ve said it… The texture is bland, not really well shaded, and sub par to some of the other items from Lelutka,  but I’m a sucker for this kind of jackets. I’m wearing it with Pig’s dandelion softie (Stumblebum exclusive) and Dutch Touch’s basic jeans def 3.

J’s western boots come in an almost perfect matching brown, so they were the obvious companions for this look, and although one might expect gold accesoires for the colour of the buttons, I picked my alaMood Grazia set (not available, custom work) to wear today, because… well.. I felt like wearing it.

Weeks ago Heather Beebe of Rockberry dropped me some samples of her latest skin, Jules, and the kinda went lost in my inventory, but during yesterday’s organising session, I found them back. Skins make me happy :-), though the nose is a wee bit hard for my personal taste on this one. I’m wearing the H natural with dark brows here. Lelutka’s Jennifer in walnut whip is the choice of hair for today’s outfit.

SLurls can be found here.

Coco has new stuff out, again, and it’s pretty… again… so I made a look with their stuff… again… I know… but I just LIKE Coco Designs. And I’ve decided not to spend my Linden$ anymore on stuff I don’t like, just for the sake of this blog. So yeah, I’m in love with the Military Cardigan which was released earlier this week, and I’m wearing it with the high waist tuxedo pants, also from Coco. The lovely red top is “My red cropped tank” from Milk Motion.

I’m also wearing Dark Mouse’s Here Comes the Sun necklace, because i want spring!! I haven’t seen this much snow since the last time i went skiing… which is like 10 years ago. And that was in the Alps…this time it’s right here in the low lands. Oh well.. I’m rambling.. and yes… there was more snow in the Alps, but usually, if it snows here at all, it won’t stay for more than a day. Spring, therefore, on my wishlist! The prim nails I’m wearing are from SLink. I did miss a camouflage glove for the skin nails, but I took the one I have from my Fleur nails (Which I don’t think are currently available at 5th & Oxford… but you might want to bug Roslin for them, because they rock!)

Skin and hair are both Haiti Relief fundraiser items and may not be available anymore either. The skin is a special Ife make up from Lelutka and the hair, Sascha, is from Maitreya.

Sexy Little Numbers

Posted in 5th & Oxford, Adam 'n Eve, AlaMood, Aoharu, Bax Coen, Coco, Dark Mouse, Dutch Touch, J's, LeLutka, MV-SL-Fashion, Truth, Uncleweb, Uzuri, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 30, 2010| Leave a Comment »

I decided to post a couple of themed looks in one, because there is too much newness finding my inventory lately. I’m seriously backlogging on things. So  from left to right:

Zena. Zena is from a new to me brand, Hyper Culture. They have some nice stuff out, although there is room for improvement, like on this dress where the upper body part and the pants layer textures do not align as well as one should want to, but over all… isn’t this just a darling LBD?  Other credits:

Gloves @ 5th & Oxford
Verve pumps (not visible) @ Maitreya
Crystal earrings & cuff @ Dark Mouse
Little Miss veil @ 5th & Oxford
Roos feather (caramel) skin @ Dutch Touch
Rio hair (Marilyn) @ Lelutka

Dina is a giftie from Valena Glushenko to the Lelutka update group. It’s a very body concious crinkled strapless dress. I’d love to see this in more colours too! Other components to this outfit:

Black leather open shirt @ Aoharu
Prestige boots @ Bax Coen
Alkahi Dew jewelry @ alaMood
Ife skin(sunkiss, make up 3) @ Lelutka
Melissa hair @ Truth

Last but not least is Off the Hook from Sachi Vixen at Adam ‘m Eve. This is a really sexy dress… revealing, but not too much. I’m wearing it with the min skirt prim, because I wanted to stay with the theme of the other dresses, but it also comes with a very pretty longer skirt which is open in the front. It looks a bit burlesque like that. Other than that I’m wearing:

Black Sheared Mink Shrug @ Coco
ThighHIgh Boots @ J’s
Mapatano necklace @ Uzuri
Portia skin (Baroque, tone 2) @ Adam ‘n Eve
Nick Hair (Holy Golden) @ St.UW

Who ever said that monochrome is boring? Call it ton sur ton and it’s highly fashionable… any season! I’m wearing Reek’s Laundry Day hoodie today with Très Blah’s Neato sweatshirt (50L$ Friday item) and League’s Thermal skirt all in various shades of grey/black. With the stone Autumn boots, also from Reek, and Artilleri’s Taylor scarf, it’s a cozy and warm outfit, except maybe for the bare legs.. but oh well… i just liked it better this way.

The hair is also Laundry Day, but then from Tiny Bird (collab with Reek for the hoodie match) and today’s skin is the lovely Cleo v2 Sweets (caramel) from Dutch Touch.

Initially I was wearing Dutch Touch’s Roos skin, so I looked around for a nice rose texture, and this one from masterjinn, over at deviantart.com, is just so beautiful that I decided to use it anyway even though I changed skins later on.

Creator Beware Turns to Buyer Beware

Posted in Oh no, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 29, 2010| 12 Comments »

Last week I posted about art work from Threadless.com being illegally used in SL, and how using copyrighted work makes content creators look bad who are saying they are protecting IP rights, but obviously don’t protect other people’s rights as fiercely as they do their own.

Well… much to my surprise (or, well.. maybe not even) today I was being made aware of another well known and seasoned content creator, Kenzie Craven, using the very same artwork from Threadless.com in her newest (as in TODAY’s) release.

I’m shocked that, when confronted on Plurk, Kenzie told that, yeah, she would take that shirt down, but that she’s sourcing images from all sort of sites… so likely there is more art work from others in her shop, which is not in the free domain.

Caveat Emptor.

Tiny Bird Cuteness

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, Tiny Bird, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 29, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Tiny Bird Cuteness, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Autumn Hykova, the creator behind Tiny Bird has been creating new textures. There are more textures now, they are softer, have more depth and a really, really pretty gloss. I’ve been playing with her new release Green Gloves all day and I can’t decide which texture I like best. But do I need to? I’m pretty much a chameleon anyway, so I can wear whatever I like.

However, if you are more picky than I am, there are tons of colours to choose from.

I also LOVE the new package. This is what the Great Personality, aka fat pack looks like. Such a pretty little nest with Tiny Bird eggs… click on the colour egg you want to unpack, and it’ll be delivered to your inventory. It’s a great way to keep your inventory count down as well. Keep the pack, and unpack the hair as needed, over and over.

Ok, last but not least, I just couldn’t help but sharing some of the colours that made me say O WOW as soon as I attached the hair:

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.

Posted in Belleza, Coco, fri.day, LOTD, MV-SL-Fashion, Whippet & Buck, Zaara, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 25, 2010| 2 Comments »

When Yesterday I was discussing with Kota about the finishing touches of Whippet & Buck’s new cropped Rachelle bustier, we were also thinking of ways this lovely item could be worn in various outfits. This is one of them.

We both had the lace cardigan from Coco in mind, so I knew that had to be in it, and personally I’m still a HUGE fan for W&B’s Cole boatneck tops, so I’m wearing the alabaster version here today. And then for a skirt… I picked Zaara’s ivory Larin skirt, because it’s so feminine and beautiful.

The flats I’m wearing are from fri.day and the necklace, which is not available anymore, is made by Miriel Enfield (come back, pretty please?)

Last but not least, I’m still wearing Belleza’s latest skin Alyson (pale, make up 6) which just won’t come off for the sheer cuteness of the face, and fri.day’s Joanna 2 hair in Jaded blond.

Back to school? Please, thanks but no thanks… usually SL is all the high school experience one needs with its dramas and queen bees etc. But I kinda like this look… so… there we go…

This week’s Stumblebum Brigade “Epic Fail” t-shirt from Atomic is just so me… I love the ironic text t-shirts… so I had to go get this one. Mind you, it’s only available this weekend, so get yours while you can! I’m wearing it with Coco’s asymmetric red check skirt and Mischief’s solid Cherry sport socks. Wear some flats with this look, or mary janes… no stilettos, it’ll be too obvious, you know…

One of my favourite accesoires is the cord set from Illusions. I’m wearing the bracelet here, and Artilleri’s Paula glasses are my favourite glasses ever.

Last but not least, I’m wearing Belleza’s Alyson (sunkissed, make up 4) and Truth’s Veruca in Espresso.

Belleza: Alyson makeups & skintones

Posted in Belleza, MV-SL-Fashion, skins, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 23, 2010| Leave a Comment »

I just wanted to quickly share the beautiful make ups and skin tones for Belleza’s Alyson with you. Tricky’s skins have been a steady presence in my favourite skins folder since Bella came out, and this one is yet again more pretty and sexy. The only wish I have left for Belleza skins is a pale which is REALLY pale (not goth pale, but just the “I never sit in the sun”, diaphanous pale. Other than that, it’s l.o.v.e.
Alyson comes in 5 skintones and a whopping 15 make ups (and a base one). All skins come with and without a hairbase and optional push up cleavage. Alyson has only one eyebrow option, which may be an issue for the really light blondes, but personally, I’m fine with the neutral brown brows.
I think Tricky makes indeed some of the most pretty, subtle freckles (not an option… they are standard) and did I mention he makes the best glitter eyeshadow ever since Starley Thereian started her SL hybernation?
Other need to knows: I’m wearing Truth’s Patrice hair, PXL Creations grey/gold eyes and HUZ tats royal henna tattoo.
