2010, The Future is Now

Posted in AlaMood, Events, LeLutka, Rebel Hope, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 17, 2010| 2 Comments »

Rezzable is organising another one of their fabulous fashion events, this time at their only remaining sim Greenies Home. As I write this the opening show is well on it’s way. I’m not good at fashion shows, my computer crashes too easily, but I am lucky enough to have these gorgeous pieces from alaMood and Rebel Hope. Jori and Rebel have worked together on this galactic regal outfit.

It’s a 2010 Future is Now exclusive, so after the event is over, these will not be found in the shops. Jori made the awesome headdress and the choker, and the amazing dress is Rebel’s work. Make sure to visit because aside from Jori and Rebel a whole list of other wonderful creators are participating.

I’m also wearing Lelutka’s new skin Ife (light make up 4). Planning a blog post about what I think is Minnu’s most pretty skin so far, later this week.

Brea Toxic, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Only this weekend.. only 50 L$!! Brea Toxic Lime is lovely.. and lime!

You will see me posting to the alaMood blog more often as well. Jori Watler is one of my dear friends in SL and she has asked me if I want to help her out occasionally. So this post may be considered as a disclosure.

Other need to knows: I’m wearing Truth’s Edie in Srawberry, Lelutka’s gorgeous new face Ife light, make up 6, and Jojoruno Runo’s Bulky sweater. The beautiful bambi eyes are from Miriel, and they are not available anymore, but I like wearing her eyes so much, and will just continue doing so. The lashes are Magika’s… primmy but awesome.

Look of the Day, January 16, 2010

Posted in 5th & Oxford, AlaMood, BareRose, LOTD, Michami, MV-SL-Fashion, Nylon Outfitters, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Pretty ballerina dancing the day away…. Why is it that, when Paper Couture releases their semestral/annual collection, hoards of crazed fashionistas crash Tableau, but when the individual creators on their main avies bring out new stuff, this goes by relatively unnoticed? It must be the roleplay surrounding the Lu sisters in the past, or our deep longing to own stuff from the RL runways at least in SL, since most of us won’t ever be able to afford the designs of couturiers like Dior, Delacroix or Lanvin in RL… but anyway, that aside, I was at Nylon Outfitters yesterday and noticed that Nylon Pinkney has the cutest new stuff out.

I’m wearing her Inner Ballerina tutu skirt, with the also newly released Crochet lacyey wrap and matched it with Tres Blah’s blueberry pinned flower cami and Michami’s plum Maisie leggings. The ballerina pointes are from Bare Rose.

To contrast with all this girly, frilly romantic stuff, I’ve picked alaMood’s Brea toxic set, with a really toxic lime pendant ( I love the combination of purple and lime… don’t ask me why, but I do). My skin is another preview of 5th & Oxford’s Brooke skin (subtle series) and I’m wearing Truth’s Audrey and slightly adjusted the colour of the hair band to match the rest of the outfit. Request to all the hair creators who, like Truth, use texture change accesoires… please add a fairly neutral white or grey texture too, so that us fashion victims can adjust the colour to our outfits more easily.

I feel like Velma today, so I decided to wear Artilleri’s Paula glasses with the red Bang Bang Bob in mango from Lamb… that’s instant cartoony, geeky Grazia. To stay with the Scooby Doo theme I’m wearing Beauty Avatar’s Daphne (honestly… I only realised the connection now, I didn’t pick it on purpose, I just liked it with this look).

The lovely sweater dress is Tuli, from Elate and Coco’s black flight jacket is one of my favourites this season. Both the brown and this black version are a go to for many an outfit that needs a bit of attitude. Also from Coco is the black leather belt. These awesome Pia leggings are VERY soon to be released at Michami. Milla has moved her shop to a new sim and has made new stuff, which I am honoured to have modeled for the lovely Ms. Michinaga. Whatch her blog later today for the announcement on the re-opening of Michami!

O HAI Abby Cole!

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, photography, skins, Surf Couture, The Abyss, Tiny Bird, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 13, 2010| 1 Comment »

Abby Cole, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I like how the Abyss does not create skin, but Identities… and indeed, all their skins have very distinct characters. Abby Cole is portrayed as Teacher’s pet by her creator, but for me she’s also a delicious farm girl, so that’s how I decided to portray her. The fact that I’m spending a lot of time landscaping Leek Island is probably also part of my current country life fascination.

Anyway. I think Abby Cole has a delicious face. But like most skins at The Abyss the skin absolutely has issues. Seams, smudges… they’re all there. Also at 1400 L$ for a single skin, The Abyss is absolutely one of the more expensive skin shops. But what can I say, I’m a sucker for a sweet face.

Abby Cole comes in 2 skintones and is a natural red head, but the lighter browns will work very well on her. I’m wearing Tiny Bird’s Ring of Fire (ginger) and Surf Couture’s “I’m a little bit coutry” in Mossy Creek.

Alyson, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I hope your week started as good as mine… No computer system at work, phone overload, and on top of it all, my car got stuck in a pile of snow when I had to run an errand. Consequently, I pulled a muscle when I tried pushing it out, which eventually I succeeded in doing, but oh my… am I happy that for once I didn’t give in to my vanity, and decided to wear my hiking shoes to work today…

Oh well… another skin portrait for today. It’s Belleza’s Alyson. It was a Christmas Group Gift from Tricky. I briefly talked to him yesterday, he’s currently working steadily on the make ups and the hair bases and expects a release of this beauty by next weekend… How’s that to look forward to?

Other need to knows: I’m wearing Truth’s Lara in Walnut, and the top is an upcoming release from Michami… yes… newness is on its way!!! The necklace was a limited edition from MIriel, and is no longer available. I know… I’m mean. I miss Miriel!

Brooke

Brooke, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Coming soon is Brooke, a new face at 5th & Oxford. Roslin is in the final stage of completing 2 make up sets for this pretty lady. Those of you who shop at 50L$ Friday may already have a sample of Brooke in your inventories. If you don’t… you really should consider next Friday, because often creators put out samples of upcoming releases. Cute idea huh?

Anyway, Brooke has a really pretty body, like you already know from Audrey and other skins that 5th & Oxford previously retailed under their former brand, but the face is a little bolder than what we knwo from them. This make up is fairly classical, but Roslin has been working on some really dramatic eyes as well.

For this pic, I decided to cleopatrify (neologism, yay) Brooke for this portrait, with the ultra sleek Fanny hair from Uw.St in Meteorite and the soon to be released Celestial choker in aged gold from alaMood. The top is from the GLAVA outfit @ Bijou.

Rodd, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I was talking with Iki earlier, and how I liked seeing her male skins getting quite a bit of attention. On the various shapes on the blogs, They all look very boyish, and almost androgynous, but I wanted to show that, especially Rodd, can look very masculine indeed.

Dutch Touch male skins come with and without a hair base and with and without chest hair. A copy/mod shape is included to help the guys getting started to personalize the skin.

Other need to knows: he’s wearing the wool blue peacoat from Coco and black knit cap, also from Coco (Homme). The cig is from FNKY.

As usual, you can find slurls here

Hiccup

Hiccup, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Hmm… so.. instead of full reviews, I’ve decided to give a photo impression of the new skins which I like for a while. SL is being a serious pain in the you-know- what lately, and taking a lot of pics is not good for my mood *shakes tiny fist* .

One of the most striking skins lately is Très Blah creator Juliette Westerburg’s Hiccup.They were released little over a week ago for the Designers Unitded III Vaudeville event, and today Juliette has released yet another make up for this weekend’s stumblebum (and it’s only 300L$, so a great way to get to know this skin for a very reasonable price!)

Hiccup Lavender Lippie has the sweetest mouth and soft, delicate features. I’m wearing the light eyebrow version, but it also comes in a dark version, as well as without the freckles. But admit…. don’t you just think these are darling?

Other need to knows: I’m wearing Tiny Bird’s Love.Love.Love hair (name is an understatement, it’s Love.Love.Love.Love etc) and Surf Co.’s Violet Floral Slouchy Thread Sweater

Posted in Aoharu, Atomic, L.Fauna, LOTD, MV-SL-Fashion, Reek, Truth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 9, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Pink time!!!! I’m so addicted to Aoharu’s nordic knit items. I’m wearing them a lot, and those fat packs were a good investment this winter. These leggings and scarf are all sorts of cozy.

Atomic’s latest release Swooped has to be put into the same category. cozy, comfy, yet totally cute and even sexy. And yes, the scarf is indispensable, or a girl would catch a chest cold with this kind of weather. It’s still freezing here, and with a strong wind, the chill factor is massive.

But what really started this outfit are Reek’s new Autumn Boots. The fur and the ribbons are texture change, so you can play with the looks of them as much as you want and they are only 250L$! If you’re fast, you can still get the red boots for only 50L$ as part of 50L$ Friday. As I write this it’s 10:45 pm slt, so you could still go get those.

L.Fauna’s Lapine (pale2) Fresh is today’s skin and I’m wearing Sasha in champagne, from the latest release at Truth.

Slurls are listed here.

Thomas, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I like taking portraits and it’s something I’d like to do more often.
When Tricky Boucher from Belleza sent out a group gift of his latest skin Thomas, it tickled me to update my guy shape and take some pics. I think he’s hot, if I may say so myself.

I like the casuals over at Aoharu and I’m eternally grateful for Machang making some of the best stuff for our poor, fashion deprived, guys. But I really LOVE this slightly more formal release, an  (obviously) Chanel inspired tweed dress and jacket. Wearing the brown dress here with the ivory jacket for a little bit of contrast, but it’s über stylish in uni color as well.

I’ve accessorized it with the gossamer necklace from Paper Couture and Miel’s Bella Peepers. I was considering one of Paper Couture’s rings as well, but with Mademoiselle Coco’s golden rule in mind… I didn’t go for it.

Exile’s Eva is a gorgeous Grace Kelly like updo with a modern twist, and is just perfect for today’s look. And well, I’m currently still infatuated with L.Fauna’s Lapine, so I’m wearing pale 2 Mystic with freckles today.
