Tooter’s avatars, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

OK! OK… I’m weak… see… pumpkin…. but hey… it’s Samara’s fault… she directed me to Tooter Claxton‘s news stand with these awesome funny avatars!

From left to right:

The Eyeball avatar… there is little this fellow won’t see, because it’s eyes are blinking and turning everywhere

The Fashionista.. aka Onyamanya Copeseek avatar… see the match stick legs… owned by so many of the fashionable ones in SL .. the huge dramafilled mountain of musthaves Including the disposable puppy? This spendthrift pur sang has purchased a bit too much, because random things will fall from her arms as she moves.

The voodoo doll… yeah… it’s Halloween after all… besides… it’s just cute… and only 250 L$… which goes for all the avatars btw… oh and it’s transferable… so I may send someone a voodoo doll later today *chuckles*

and then there is Synthia Picassole… nude for art’s sake.. see those curves, the essence of femininity.. poetry in motion, linear perfection… hahahaha.. omg… I’m rambling again .. am I?

Oh well…. never mind.. I think this is a “must go now” for everyone who is still doubting what to wear tonight… or just because you want, like me, snort your drink all over the computer because they are so funny! You can also choose from a plucked (or non plucked) chicken avatar, a purple lounge lizzard… a little bug and many more.

Halloween @ Exile, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

 

No pumpkins on my blog… No trick or treats at my door, no costumes in RL… it’s just not that big of a deal here… although… some people, retail shop owners mostly, want to make us believe that Halloween is the next Sinterklaas in the Netherlands… well… nah… I love my Sinterklaas, and in a few weeks we’ll have the kids at the doorsteps for St. Martin, which is one of the winter/begging feasts here. But I could not resist posting Kavar Cleanslate’s cute and sassy Halloween costumes for Exile. the Slut rule Bunny, Cat & Mouse were created last year, and are back in the shop for the occasion, and the Mistress of the Law, is a new costume this year. All hair is from Exile, skin by Pink Fuel and the ankle boots are from Bax Coen.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who kinda resents the import of Halloween to the European mainland.  I have an Ana by my side ❤

Oh yes,… 50L$ Friday so works for me… I TP to shops… see the 50 L$ Friday goodie… may or may not purchase… and then ooooh… that’s nice… and that too… uh huh… I’m easily manipulated…

I admit… That’s what happened at Oh Mai, where I found this Nina sweater and I also picked up the brown Yoga pants at Surf Couture (as well as the red, yellow and slate 50L$ Friday pants!) and then I combined them with Pig’s Ladies like flowers (eggshell) and fri.day’s grey boybeater. Because I’ve been cold in RL all day, I’m wearing Maitreya’s toeless slouch socks (softs 3) in SL, and I wonder… why does everything look cute in SL? I look horrible in RL when I wear stuff like this, especially when I put on boots like these from Zero Number… and dare to finish it with a heart shaped pendant like the Heartwood necklace from Lucas Lameth. But in SL… I think it’s just a heck of a comfy and cute outfit.

I’m wearing Dutch Touch’s Jolie basic in Cream and Truth’s Aslin in driftwood.

Earlier this week Ryker Beck released what she called the Oldies but Goodies make ups for her latest skin Lily. A series of make ups from earlier skins, now updated to fit this pretty face. They come in the normal and faded version, and with dark and light brows. To be honest, of most make ups, I love the faded ones best (shown below). They are so beautifully subtle, whereas the “full”version sometimes is a bit too much for me, but they work wonderfully with an evening gown.

Jolie, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Last night Iki Ikarus released the full batch of Jolie skins over at Dutch Touch. The Pip make ups were released earlier this week, and now there are more traditional make ups available as well. I know I’m repeating myself, but since Iki keeps amazing me with her mad skills, yes, this is the loveliest skin she has ever made. Jolie is available in 5 skin tones and 16 make ups per skin tone (and then all the options, 3 eyebrows, freckle/moles and normal cleavage/push up effect)

Below I’m showing you some unprocessed samples of the 5 skintones and some make ups.

Whippet & Buck, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Mhmmmm… the ladies over at Whippet and Buck sure take their time… but when they decide to release new stuff, be sure it’s all yummy again. This week Dakota and Twiggy finally released their Georgie tapered trousers, which I’m wearing in all 3 outfits, the Lizzy cropped boat neck shirt, shown in bordeaux, to the left) which is really cute and closes with ribbons in the back, and in the middle outfit, the Tea Hawks vest, with some amazing prim work (combined with the Cole boat neck top). In the combination to the right, I’m wearing the Georgie tapered trousers with the Haver tiered frock (peacock coat).

Other assets: Skin Farrah from Rockberry, all hair by Exile and shoes from fri.day (flats) Adam ‘n Eve (Mirage in cream) and Shiny Things (Belle)

WTW Undies, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Sometimes, scrolling the feeds, you see something and you think… why have I never been there yet? Like was the case when I saw the lingerie of WTW on Berry’s blog somewhere last month. So finally, earlier this week, I found some time to look up WTW by tomoe Zenkova, and check it out for myself. Oh Lord, the greed… It’s not often that I want to buy literally everything in a shop.. but I really had a hard time containing myself here. All the lovely, girly, frilly sets… but… I still maintained a little bit of common sense and only bought a few sets to take home and check out….. You know.. there could be horrible seams in that nice looking set… and how would the back look on these?

Well, let me reassure you… they are really well made… and how the back looks? I’ll leave that up to you to discover when you go get yours! Btw… I think I should mention all of these sets are under 100 L$?

Other assets: all hair by Truth, all skins by Exodi (Lily Oldies but Goodies make ups)

Although I gave up on horses loooong time ago (we just don’t get along), I really love the equestrian look. Dare I say there is little more sexy on a man than a well fitting pair of jodhpurs, riding boots and a nice cableknit sweater? Oh well, I’m rambling *waves at Peter* (he was the hunk at the stables back then when I really did want to like horses… but then again, maybe that was because of said Peter).

For today, I’ve put a look together around the new Georgie tapered trousers from Whippet & Buck (they are 3/4 length btw) and from the same brand the Hykova buttoned tank (some basics you just keep using and using… it’s the stuff which you won’t ever regret investing in a fat pack ). I’m wearing Coco Designs’ Tuxedo jacket to go with it, and also their riding boots.

Then,  to complete the look, I’ve chosen Sey’s new TieC. scarf, and the old, but still amazing gloves from 5th & Oxford (can you believe these were still tagged TaP in my inventory?) The gloves are not available in the 5th & Oxford shop, but you will still find them in their satellite shops at Muse and Rue d’Antibes.

I’m wearing the 5th & Oxford Audrey Little Miss 3 (medium) and Curio’s Paper Tiger in Ash Blonde.

Hmm… not sure what exactly started this outfit… but I was fascinated with the Boon SLJ 761 short afro hair and it looks kinda hot with the (new skintone) dark coffee Jolie from Dutch Touch, which will be out soon.

I needed something to contrast with the hair and the skin, so I went over to Donna Flora and picked up the Karen set, of which I’m wearing both the blouse and the jacket. Squinternet Larnia, the creator from Donna Flora has made huge progress ever since I first met her, although it still irks me that some of the layering is not the most logical and that some attachments are not having logical perms. For instance, in a skirt, one part should not be only copy and no mod, while other parts are mod and no copy :-(. But anyway… that’s something for another time. The Karen suit is just delicious. Really well drawn, and with nice prim work.

For the pants I went back to the warm chocolate colour of Lelutka’s Kora pants, and to finish it off, I picked Maitreya’s Neyya toe cap buff shoes.

The earrings are *really* old and discontinued Lady hoops from Lucas Lameth, but I love them for their utter simplicity and classic look.

So Many Styles participates in the Designers United event with this beautiful Crow jacket. I’m wearing it with Madsy’s peplum skirt (sans system skirt), Blowpop’s fishnet stockings, Bax’s red Prestige boots and fri.day’s red wide waist belt. The clutch is from Icon and the hat comes with the lovely Tarry hair from Tukinowaguma. I’m wearing the soon to be released Duch Touch Jolie Ruby in the Sky make up.

Shannon Carroll, creator of the Coquette brand is preparing her Aurora II skins to premiere at Vanity Universe’s skin fair (November 7-22, 2009), but, to help out a friend who’s computer has given up, she has done a 1 make up pre-release in all four skintones. The pre-release will only be available til her friend manages to either repair or replace the computer, and will then never be sold again…. no time slot.. once it’s gone it’s gone.. so why not go over today, right?

A single skin sells for L$ 750 and comes with 2 cleavages, freckle options and 3 pubes options. The darkest tan is a litte too saturated for my personal taste, but the others look just so lovely that I can hardly wait to see the make ups Shannon is planning for this skin

The All that Glitters undies are also from Coquette and the come in a lot of different colours.

So the boy friend jeans stayed on for this look… I find myself doing that quite often, that an element of the previous look, will return in today’s look. But then again, Maitreya’s BF jeans is such a basic item it’s easily worn in a lot of different combinations.
I also like layering, and I love it when a creator makes the effort to make their stuff on every useful layer. I’m wearing fri.day’s purple striped v-neck here, paired with Boom’s purple wrong size cardi and their latest release, the doll pink Park Life Hoodie. For the shoes I also went with fri.day, I’ve picked their purple basic flats to go with this combination. Ryker Beck ,the creator from Exodi, yesterday sent this lovely Lily skin to her in world group, and it was the base for this purple/lavender/pink set.
Last but not least, with this casual look, I’ve picked Truth’s Brooke, in driftwood, because it’s so very casual as well… like when you just grab your hair, twist it in a loose bun, and stick a pencil in , while half of it falls back on your shoulders. Totally my kind of weekend look.

Oh and I just had to share a close up of the skin:

Coco Designs released this lovely sweater with frilly blouse yesterday and it finally made me take off my Corinthe poncho (well, so to speak… as in, it’s the first item that made me want to post a LOTD, since buying the poncho at Lelutka). I’m wearing the boyfriend jeans from Maitreya with it (thanks Wilma Delgado for reminding me I had that one.. damn .. that chick knows my inventory almost better than I do) and the berry coloured basic flats from fri.day. I’m wearing Truth’s driftwood Cameron and Dutch Touch Jolie Pip7 (cream). Someone mentioned on plurk, that the lips were too special for normal use… but I’m a girl who likes to play with make up, and even though i would not wear this in RL… I can so totally pull it off in SL!!

It’s been one of those weeks… so many new (to me) skins around. They all look very different on me, but they all have that “hot damn” effect.

First, there is Blowpop’s Elizabeth, 10 new make ups are available, in the 4 skintones. Elizabeth, for me, is a bit of an English Rose kind of girl. So rosy pale that she’s diaphanous. Every skin in this line comes with a subtle and a bolder make up. I must admit, I like the subtle make ups better on Elizabeth.
Then there is Très Blah‘s skin Girly Chic, shown here in tan, Cotton Candy. Being fully handdrawn, this skin may lack the realism some of you want in SL skin, but I totally dig this. It’s adding a lot of character to the SL avatar, and the mouth is just so kissable. I don’t give a damn that this skin has no private bits, as I heard some people complaining in the shop. If you go for that, yeah, then Très Blah is not your next favourite skin, but if you’re looking for something new in the drawn look skin tradition, Juliette Westerburg’s are so worth a go.
Last, there is Aimesi‘s Jezzy in Sun, face 5. She is such a beach girl. She’s all healthy looking and glowing. The body is not highly detailed, but it’s well blended, and seam free. I wish the nails on this skin were looking a bit better though… they are a bit blue-ish, you know… like when your hands get really cold.. but that doesn’t match the summer tan look of this skin. Other than that… really cute!

Other need to knows: wearing Tiny Bird’s Swirley hair in Brownie and Coco’s black Long sleeves sweater and PXL’s glow eyes Aqua large

Ok, blogging one brand twice a day seems overdone… and usually I would agree.. but omg… look what Iki has just released??? They’re at the shop now. The cutest make ups you’ve ever seen and they come with different eyebrows, cleavage options, adorable freckles and sans adorable freckles. So worth to go try them, they retail at 1000L$ for a single, but the fatpack is only 2750L$!!!
