SLink-y
Siddean Munro of SLink, has been a very busy lady, leaps and bounds she has totally built her store from a small walk in to a plaza like Main Store with a lovely waterside location. Some of her latest and not so New items are what I will be showing today, in this Coat extravaganza.
The first coats are the Suede Coats in Hot Pink and Baby Pink. The idea of this much suede coating your body,to me is bliss, honestly I’d be turned on all day :P. I have tinted the buckle on the belt today, just because when accessorising with the NEW Classic O Frame and Milan Sunglasses also by SLink I wanted to match, but the original texture is a divine pearl which is just beautiful.
The Suede Coats are beautifully crafted and are able to be worn on their own in a dress style because of the lovely above knee length, perfect to show off the up and coming boots for the season, but today I went with the charming Paige Pumps, I did a bit of shopping at SLink in preparation for this post, and just adore the shoes and boots I picked up. The soft shine to the leather in these shoes is beautiful and picks up the similar effect in the Fantastic Tote Bags also a recent release, and shown here in the pink and hot pink.
The whole place is easy to navigate around, and one section flows into another, just like the water surrounding and below, it’s very harmonious. The Hair in the pics is from Philotic Energy and I have to say the one on the right , named Luth is just one of those ‘perfect cut’ kinds of styles that short hair wearers dream about, and go all nutso when they find a skilled Hairdresser who can do it.
This experience comes from my Mum who seriously squeels like a ten year old when she gets a good haircut, and my Mummy does NOT Squeel under normal circumstances, in RL she traumatised me as a kid by cutting off all her long hair and coming to pick me up, I slammed the door on her thinking it was a boy lol, so I don’t do short in RL , but I have to admit I love it in Phils Place, but don’t tell her.
Luth is very smart and elegant, perfect for business or pleasure, the other style which is fun and playful is the Kalia style also from Philotic Energy-as is all todays hair. Both styles work with this Coat look, and if you turn the corner from the shoes section at SLink into the clothing and look up to the left, there are beautiful items there that you could wear underneath ;), mind you if you do mix lingerie with suede, I don’t know if you will be able to do much with your day lol.
When Siddean dropped the New Reloaded Leather Coats on me, I Instantly unpacked one, even though I was in the middle of helping Mel with some scripting, it’s his Birthday today by the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL ♥ ♥ , ok sorry had to do that.
So anyway I was helping him with some stuff and put on the coat while I was, and you know that moment when prims don’t attach, well I had that moment, and got so excited, that once they did attach and I exclaimed love, I ripped them back off again and pranced around in just the jacket layer and top atttachments. Later that day I was tp’d over to the Persona GO , and changed into something from Persona, and sure enough I TPd in Efe and lol she was wearing the Reloaded Jacket Layer over pants, since then Juicy has also blogged it that way, so its a definite two looks kind of coat.
So today I wanted to recreate the look, with some additions, I went shopping crazy in a store called Fifferling last week, and bought the most adorable Tails and Ears and OMG you should see the boots with the claws and footprints OMG the pink ones with – nah I’ll show you soon 😛 or you might get your hands on them before then, but they are aces. The PRINCESS PUSCHEL & PRINCESS EARS , are sold seperately, and are scripted to move, but its also the awesome prim work attachments, again you should see my pink ones SOOOO much love.
What I do love about these too is that you can turn the swish off and on, with just a click , but if you leave them on when you log in and out they stay on or off, which is good.
Wearing with them and the Reloaded Leather Coat without skirt attached, are the square toed Sara boots, again lovely work from SLink in an assortment of great leather colours. I am wearing underneath the Bombshell Hotpants from Awesome Designs, these are soooooo Old I think I got them my first month in world, and wore them all the time, they make fantastic go to Hotpants for sure, as they are just simply textured so fit in with most everything you would need them for.
Also for a bit of extra sexy are the Fishnet Pantyhose from N°9 Nylons, they have such a huge assortment of great stockings and pantyhose over there , and I love the large net in these ones for this look.
The hair was Aem’s choice actually , I told her I needed some Domme style hair – you know hair with attitude :o) . So the Orana was her choice and fits perfectly as she didn’t actually know what it was going with, with the addition of the Essentia Geisha Hair Sticks in Silver, the style sits perfectly above the divine collar of the coat, with again a stunning Pearl buckle.
The Reloaded Leather Coat has so many wonderful parts to it, as in the technique of the creation itself. The floor length is fantastic again wearing it more as a complete look, than just a coat. But with the incredible leather stitching and that sexy as hell cutout, you really will want to find many ways to wear it.
One such way is with again using only the jacket layer, and the addition of the belt from the Winter coat also from SLink – Siddean does plan to do more colours and sell the belts seperately soon. Over the top of the yummy Skinny Leg Jeans , the shading and detailing on these are also amazing , look how cute my bum is lol. Also wearing with them the Claire Wedge Boots I am ready to tackle the day ahead, stylishly ;).
The hair on the left is another fun and messy shortish style called Gilly, more hair of tude as well as on the far right the Push style, a more asymetrical look pinned back with a clip I again tinted, I love tinting lol. Definitely all fab hair for these looks, go grab some Philotic Energy DEMOS.
Now the skins you see today are also from SLink and are all the Isabella skins, such beautiful tones and make-ups on these lovely skins, so be sure to grab the DEMOS of those too. SLInk is definitely a one stop shop for many of your needs, so make sure you take the time to visit, also if you join the inworld group I did notice there is a Discount option when buying items for Group members, so look into that as well.
All the poses today are from Reel Expressions, I’ve assumed the hair called Luth was named after Luth of Reel Expressions and if not either way, the poses are fab, so check them out too.
