Grazia past & present, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Sophia Harlow challenged the bloggers to get their old selves out of the dark depths of our out of control inventories and compare with our current appearance.

The funny thing is… I haven’t even changed that much in 3,5 years in SL…. yeah, I’ve shrunk quite a bit, my legs as well… and the boobies… omg… they used to be a full 72.. and now I keep them at a modest 23, but all in all, I don’t think I was such a fugly noob (except for the first few days, and no… there is no evidence remaining of those days)

Did you guys know that Ryker Beck is having a MASSIVE everything 50% off sale at Exodi?? She’s moving to the UK later this month, but her cats can’t go with her, and so she is having this sale to make money to get “her girls” shipped to a dear friend across the country who has offered to adopt both of them! That being said, how could I NOT wear her latest skin Sienna (cachet, gingerbread) for today’s look! Go show some cat love and drop off a few L$ is you can spare them.

I’m also wearing Bubbles Clawtooth’s newest release LoveMoMo in Orange you glad. It’s such a fun and quirky do… I just might have to go back to get it in other colours as well. The Analu earrings are from Exodi again. They are scripted, so you can match them with a lot of stuff from your inventory.

It’s still friggin’cold over here, so while I’m thinking about spring already, I can’t get myself to dress up in other stuff than comfy cardigans and sweaters. Today’s I’m wearing Madsy’s Ivory rib front cardigan and Atomic Cozi Cardi in dirt. Zaara’s classic indigo jeans are among my favourite items in my inventory. The scarf is Taylor, from Artilleri.

Not shown, but just to complete, I’m wearing J’s long round boots in brown with this outfit.

This is an outfit I’d totally wear during a meeting in RL. The jacket is from the Black Floral SuitGown from latest collection of Paper Couture, and theI’ll be a Ghost shirt is a 50 L$ Friday item from Whippet & Buck. The ultra feminine skirt is from Kunglers’ black Claudia dress.

My favourite stockings currently are the lace top stockings from Blowpop. Today I’m wearing the brown 40 derniers and the shoes are Maitreya’s Neyya toe cap white, which match the rest of the outfit just perfectly.

Très Blah has out the most adorable new skins, and I’ve picked the freckled Hiccup light Drama skin and just to give a nonchalant touch to it all, I’m wearing the casual Penelope in almond by Truth.

Yup… it’s a blue Monday. I’ve been on vacation for 2 weeks and I’m NOT looking forward to getting back, and facing an exploded mailbox and ditto desk. On top of that, it’s unusually cold and… oh well. Let’s just get over with it, right?

If I had this sweater in RL to put on, I’d at least be sure to be warm enough, and cute as well. It’s from So Many Styles, appropriately names Winter Sweater, and it also comes with a cute flower on the collar (if you like cute flowers on collars that is, but personally I’m not such a fan).

A few months ago BOOM released these Seaman pants in a couple of good colours. They are low waist, so for me they are not very easy to combine because I’m not a huge fan of exposed bellies (especially in wintertime… but… does that really matter in SL?) , but with this sweater it works fine.

The Blue Verve pumps from Maitreya are a perfect and elegant touch to this outfit. Had I known how much I’d grow to love these, I would have bought the fat pack right from the start.

I’m wearing Hair Oh’s Oh my Julia in strawberry gold today and L. Fauna’s Lapine (pale 2) fresh (fr).

Solitude, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I may just start to post some photography I do on this blog. Whether I take the shots for my own pleasure, or commissioned work I have a special feeling with.

Hope you enjoy.

Tableau has been made over again, and the new scenery is, again, lovely. In the best of Tableau traditions, lag has been unbearable since the re-opening, but I think in a week or so you should be fine. Til that time, the place is swamped, mainly by crazed fashionistas buying everything at Paper Couture. I’m guilty as charged, but instead of showing yet another PC outfit on the feeds, I decided to wade through the lag to the neighboring shops of Clawtooth for this lovely Listen Up hair do, shown here in coffee with cream, and Très Blah, where I got this “I ❤ Honey” shirt.

I’m wearing my new purchases with League’s Thermal skirt in dark grey, and the leggings from Le.Look’s anniversary gifts (made by Alvin Sharple from SOURCE).

The versatile Elsa boots from Surf Couture are a winter favourite in my inventory, and again, I’m wearing L.Fauna’s Lapine (pale 2) Voom.

Zuri, but she looks like Beyoncé on me

Posted in KA Designs, MV-SL-Fashion, skins, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 2, 2010| 1 Comment »

Can’t help it… the more I look at Ka Designs Zuri skin, the more she reminds me of Beyoncé Knowles on my shape. I seriously have to keep myself from singing Single Ladies and Halo and omg… even Survivor pops up in my head now….this is bad guys… Noooo… not the skin… that’s a pretty one again… but my singing is SO off key! Someone stop me 🙂

I think I may stick with the comfy and laid back…. for now that is. Tomorrow is another day. One of my go to items in my inventory is this maxi cuddle pull from Fishy Strawberry. I have it in many colours, but for this look, I went to pick up the brown one as well…

I’m wearing it here with the cute ribbon leggings from Atomic. They are a New Year’s group gift, so not freely available in the shop. However, Ivy is so generous with her group that it’s well worth the 250 L$ enrollment fee.

Accesoires are kept in style with alaMood’s Portia choker (I almost wanted to take a pic from my back for today’s look, just  to show off the adorable bow that closes the ribbon) and Elate’s high white belt (on the jacket layer, and slightly tinted off white) The C. Edo flats in chocolate are from Truth.

Also from Truth (I know, it’s getting boring, but hey… what can I say… I’m hooked 🙂 ), is the Cyndi hair, worn here in Jupiter and I’m wearing L.Fauna’s Lapine (pale 2) Winterberry (lips modded).

&Bean’s latest skin Pillow (tan, 1) makes me look a little stern I think. It’s a lovely skin again, but I’ll have to fiddle a bit with my shape to make it really fit me and I’m not feeling like it today. Yeah… it’s the New Year’s blues I suppose. I was totally annoyed with my neighbours last night who were setting off illegal fireworks, with blows so loud that I feared for the windows at my place. Oh well, end rant.. but my RL mood has influenced my SL look today. Truth’s Bailey hair in latte softens the look a bit.

Madsy’s lost sheep leather jacket is, like all of the inventory from that shop, so totally well made, and easy to wer! I’m matching it with this week’s 50 L$ Friday release from 5th & Oxford, the grey Tattoo Tee and Kari’s new school jeans. And since it’s cold, I’m wearing Artilleri’s Taylor scarf (red/aqua).

Not shown, but still a fave, are the UBU drunks sneakers, totally customisable, and going so well with any casual outfit.

New Years resolution… finally make a SLurl page.. so that’s next… slurls can be found there in the future.

And if I may suggest a resolution… how about subscribing to the updates of More Than Meets the Eye via e-mail? look in the sidebar, it’s easy.

Cake Heirloom Lace Cardigan

Posted in Cake, Dela, L.Fauna, MV-SL-Fashion, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 31, 2009| 4 Comments »

I’ve used this Heirloom Lace cardigan in black from Cake for today’s look… but it is so stunning that I decided to show all available colours to you. And maybe because it looks just really pretty on the beautiful body of Lapine… and also because a certain Winte…. errrr ok.. anonymous, fanged, fashionisto asked for more boobies on the blog!

(also wearing, aside from precious little, Dela’s Keira ribbon, L.Fauna’s Lapine skin and Cake’s Dakota hair)

Hmmm… how to end the year in style? Well… this Claudia dress from the Kunglers sisters is a great base to work with. I’m wearing it here with the black lace Heirloom cardigan from Cake and the Keira ribbon from Dela.

The lace top stockings from Blowpop come in a variety of colours and 3 different levels of opacity (dernier). I’m wearing the black 40 dernier stockings with this outfit.

LeLutka has just released their Ultra collection and these Saffron pumps are part of that collection. It’s SL fashion at its finest, so in case you have been living under a rock and missed out everything about last week’s show… go pay LeLutka a visit and see some of the amazing outfits.

Oh I’m so hooked on the sweet face of L.Fauna‘s Lapine. I know, I’m getting boring, but Launa has really stunned me with her newest skins. I’m wearing the freckled Berry make up here, in pale 2. Ddid I ever mention that the eyebrows and lips are modifiable? With every skin, Launa delivers a notecard with a LOT of eyebrow options in it, which I’m sure will match your favourite hair colour and I can really recommend playing some with the lip make ups, because the effects can be quite lovely.

Last but not least, I’ve picked Cake‘s Dakota in Maroon. The messy, curly bob just balances the otherwise somewhat stern look of this last day of the year.

More Than Meets the Eye December Gift

December Gift, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Oh my, what has happened to 2009?? Tomorrow it’s new Year’s Eve already. Time to give you, my readers, a new pressie.

I made this shape December on L.Fauna’s Lapine, because it is one of my favourite skins at the moment, but I also fitted her on a couple of other skinds, such as Lelutka’s Estelle and Tuli’s Bella.

If you want to receive this shape (copiable and with skirt shape) just leave a comment here with your full avatar name. Mid January I’ll close the comments, and I will not hand out this shape any longer.

I’d like to thank you for your support and readership in 2009 and wish you all a very happy and healthy 2010!

xoxo, Grazia

Musashi-Do’s InfiniTie

Posted in Musashi-Do, MV-SL-Fashion, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 30, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Musashi-Do’s InfiniTie, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Back in 2006 when I came to SL for the very first time, one of the first shops I discovered was Shiryu Musashi‘s. I remember that I found there a real suit for women, with a nice skirt, and slacks, and a good blazer. It was refreshing for noobie me who, so far, had only discovered a lot of slutwear shops (aside from Nyte ‘n Day!). So when earlier this fall Musashi made his way back to SL, I couldn’t be happier. One of his more recent releases is the infiniTie system of shirts with a series of HUDS to apply an infinite number of textures to each shirt/tie combination.

The shirts come in 3 versions, a bare midrif one (shirt layer), an untucked (jacket layer) and a tucked (shirt layer) version. And this is basically my only 2 points of critique… can we have more layers, please, Mr. Musashi? I wo want to be able to wear my untucked shirt with a coat, so untucked on shirt + pantlayer would be fab… and if I wear the tucked version, like here on a regular (not butt crack showing low waist) jeans (Kari’s), please add an underpants layer so that it’s really tucked, and not an alternative version of the bare midrif shirt?

Other than that… I really dig these shirts which also come in a male version. For all the possibilities, check out this video!
