Sexy Little Numbers

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

Look of the Day, January 30, 2010

Posted in 50 L$ Friday, Artilleri, Dutch Touch, League, MV-SL-Fashion, Reek, Tiny Bird, Très Blah, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 30, 2010| Leave a Comment »

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

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.

Creator Beware

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, Oh no, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 22, 2010| 8 Comments »

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with Threadless.com. I wasn’t, till it was shown to me a couple of weeks ago in relation to a possible case of copyright infringement. People submit their designs to Threadless.com, and when they get enough votes, their work will be printed on t-shirts or as posters and put up for sale. Cute, huh?

I was informed on that occasion that a couple of shirts in Aikea Rieko’s shop, The Plastik, looked very familiar to a RL artist who is in SL, and she could swear she had seen the designs before, but couldn’t  remember where. A search through creative sites ended when on Threadless.com,  3 of the designs which are on sale at The Plastik were found. (more…)

Today I’m wearing Baiastice’s mono color grey tweed pants I don’t wear this brand often, I’m always having issues with their prim work and “busy” looking textures, but when it’s good… it’s really good! I’m combining the tweed with Michami’s fuchsia Maisie sweater and Madsy’s black fur gilet.

This cute colorful scarf is from Zeery’s and I found it during one of my trips to Rue d’Antibes. I used to have my little shop on that sim, and I still like goiing there. Bax purple suede Prestige boots make the finishing touch to this outfit.

I’m wearing Gwen from Dutch Touch Cream Breeze and Maitreya’s ash Sasha hair (Haiti relief fundraiser). I have tinted the hat a bit to match the sweater. I don’t wear prim nails often, but once fitted these pretties from SLink, they just really look good!

Uhm… not sure what triggered this look… Is it Dutch Touch newest skin Gwen, shown here in cocoa -iLiner wine-? Or Lo Jacobs’ new Giada trenchcoat for her Luster brand? Or maybe it’s the drop dead gorgeous DARE booties from Gospel Voom at GOS?

I really don’t know… sometimes it’s just an explosion of “this and this and this” and all of a sudden it looks like THAT. Whatever started this look, I think it looks fabulous with Michami’s black Pia leggings and the studded Keira ribbon from Dela. The Earrings and bangles are from alaMood’s Sophia Fleur set, and the glitter sunglasses are Arftilleri’s.

I’m also wearing a black manicure from PXL Creations and the Aphro hair is from Another Level.

Dutch Touch: Gwen

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 19, 2010| 3 Comments »

Gwen, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Look at that doll face!!! Isn’t is exquisite? Iki has really outdone herself with her latest female skin. I think it’s safe to say that she currently is among SL’s finest skinmakers.

Gwen is available in 6 skintones and 14 lovely make ups. I’m showing spring here. As you have come to expect, Iki includes lots of options in her packs. hairbase/bald, 2 types of eyebrows, and 2 different cleavages. There are 2 different fat packs. One with 6 make ups for 3k, and one with 8 for 4k and with 1k for a single make up, Dutch Touch is also among the reasonably priced skins.

Other need to knows: Hair Evie in walnut by Truth, citrine & pear earrings by Paper Couture and Winter Whites coat by Très Beau.

Posy Trudeau is back!! Uhm.. well..not that she’s really been away, with her existing shops Civvies and Miau House… but on Saturday 23, Posy will open Homespun, her new project, with attire for him and her inspired by the Depression Era and the years to follow.

I’m wearing her Bluebird Dress, combined with Nylon Outfitters'(tinted) Chrochet Lacey Wrap and League’s Camel Thermal long socks. Yummy’s Chained Heart necklace is a perfect accesoire for this simple, yet feminine look.

Truth’s Amanda (walnut) also fits the theme and Dutch Touch’s latest skin Gwen… well… Gwen is a timeless beauty, so it matches with about anything you wish to wear.
