It is rare that I do location pictures, but this beautiful Maxi dress by SySy’s –  for the ongoing Birthday Celebration at FaMESHed – needed to be seen as it would be worn. I love the long flow of the dress, and the soft gradual dye look in the colours, both soft and dark colour packs available. What is really great is the hand drawn flower that SySy hand drew herself, making this not just a beautiful dress, but wearable art. The style is very giving size wise also, even though standard sizes, I was actually able to go down a size, as I usually wear Small up top, but this time XS was wearable and well too.

The jewellery I am wearing with the dress is also from FaMESHed and is the release by Maxi Gossamer, of Gossamer Jewellery who it seems has also gone into clothing creation now, which is exciting news. So check those out. The Jewellery comes with silver or gold options as well as colour choices via clickable menu for the gems.

The hair I am wearing is the most recent release by LeLutka, one of three glorious styles. This one actually comes with the flowers as a separate attachment, and they are fastened with a braided band…I actually made the band transparent, by editing and selecting the face of that, and making it transparent by 100. I do like the band, but in this case I wanted it to look more like the flowers were pinned by hand into the hair. The style is non rigged mesh, so it is easily editable for size.

The skin I am wearing is the latest by Deetalez, and Deetalez has also done SLink Avatar Enhanced ( purchasable separately)  Appliers for Hands and Feet which is exciting. Their textures are great, and the skin comes with 4 lipsticks and two eyeshadow types per lipstick, bare and smokey. So you can go from day to night. The face is adorable, with pouty lips and a great nose. I especially love the freckles placed strategically around the face. There are also Lolas Tango appliers you can buy, and the skins come with all the extras of freckles, cleavage, system nail covers for other nails you may have, and there are three different brow options ON the skin.

Showing off the Chelle Slink Avatar Enhanced Nail HUDs with this look, you can get them at the Chelle with the other styles they recently released, such pretty girly colours in the pack, and because they have a pointed theme look, they look great with the pointed nail option that the nails have….and thanks to the NEW Status poses “Nailed It” by Gidge Uriza, I was able to show them off even better.

Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu , Happy Birrrthday Dear FaMESSSSSHHHHHHHHEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, Haaaaaapppyyyy Birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy To Yoooooooooooooou. Ok seriously I really did sing it, to make sure I knew where to elongate and stuff. It has definitely been a year to celebrate, as FaMESHed has grown into one of the biggest monthly event on the grid, and congratulations to Cracked Mirror, all that have been part of it, from the beginning and to the current organisers and everyone else involved.

Before I go on about the delights that are part of the FaMESHed celebrations, lets talk shoes for a moment. Mon Tissu has released the NEW Daley T-Strap Heels, and they are a cute mix of in the now fashion wise, with a definite retro influence. They come in some solid and a great selection of two tone colours, which mean you will have lots of fun creating looks to go with them. These are their first feet in shoes style, and I wanted to do this tinting guideline a month ago, but then things got way busy so it was put off, but timing has its moments, and this works out well.

Tinting feet/hands/boobs, that have a join that is not covered with a strap, or some other kind of styling item, often come with BLENDER SOCKS or BLENDER GLOVES….now these items are ever so useful, because the idea is that you match them to your mesh/sculpt items and they transtion into the skin. Now the thing is that often people try to match their attachments first, and then tint the layers to match, that works too, but I find it much easier the opposite way, and you may too.

* Wear Blender sock or glove closest to your tone, or lighter than ( they are usually numbered or named to correspond with preset tones on the HUDs of that item) 

* Go into edit clothing on the item, you can right click in your inventory and choose edit that way.

* Open the tint option and click on the colour editing rainbow with your mouse…rule of thumb is that most skin tones live on the left side, so there is no reason to go anywhere else unless wearing a fantasy skin. 

* Keep trying to find the tone and use the darker and lighter slider if you need to, until your BLENDER layer blends with your skin.

* Once you have the match, look at either the RGB numbers on the HSL numbers on the left side of the tinting pop up, and copy them down, either on a piece of paper :O or type them down. 

* SAVE by Clicking OK and then Save to get out of editing mode on your layers.

* One your HUD you will see either RGB or HSL buttons, or depending on your HUD type, it might have a chat command. In the case of these shoes it has both HSL and RGB. You can toggle between. 

* Make sure you click on the same preset as the colour of BLENDER you used.

* Then using the numbers you wrote/typed down, input those using buttons or chat. 

Voila, you should be matched (this will always depend on what kind of windlight you are using, and also can depend on having atmospheric shaders turned on for the best results. But this is how you use the blender socks/gloves to your advantage )

Ok so now on to the rest of the great items. This hair by Exile for one is all sorts of divine, it is bombshell hair a modern take on Elvira if you will, and I do, I most definitely do. I love the height of the style, and if you didn’t read my post the other day, I mentioned that there are new HUD options for the Exile hairs, they now also have extra streaks options as well, so much fun.

The Dress I am wearing is from Tee*fy, also a FaMESHed release, and super adorable. The style has girly girlness that you just cannot fault, and the colours available are spot on for the season. I also love the floral otions, and some have stripes and so on…so have fun choosing which one or all you want.

I liked the contrast belts, and being able to use these really cute button wrist cuffs from Inside Lab. They come in three colours, and they just add some punch to the look. I did have to edit them to fit my wrists, but they are mesh and totally mod, so have fun with those.

I was really excited to hear that Ploom has finished their hands and feet appliers for the Slink Avatar Enhanced system. So excited I pretty much steamrolled right over Helyanwe to get my hands on them…and then on my hands. They will be released in the store tomorrow, but I couldn’t wait, because she did a great job on them, and I really like her latest Gia skin a lot.

For those who use search in inventory to find things, you will know that searching RING is a pain in the bum, because you get a billion listings for earrings. I decided to test out a few options tonight and I found that in firestorm ( so not really sure if this works in others ) that if you type + Ring you get ONLY rings…this has made me all sorts of happy, so I really hope that helps others too.

The ring I chose to wear was this great starla ring from LaGyo, the LaGyo releases are always so quirky and fun, as well as being eccentric enough to be high fashion, that is what one aims for. Other creators of really stunning high end fashion accessories is HandVerk and these pauldrons they just released pulled this whole look together. When I was younger I used to have a hair clip that was just like these shoulders, and I loved slicking my hair back and wearing it. I knew I wanted a style of hair that was fierce but also back from the face, and Vesna by Exxess was the perfect style.

The great pose from Adorkable also allowed me to show off not only my hands, but also my nails, this is a set I did for Flair this week that is fast becoming a favourite for me, I love the plaid style, so it was just great fun to do, even if each colour was 15 layers. Further down, you will find that I am wearing the new boots by Erratic, their first foray into footwear and a hit I must say.

The boots are really well textured with rich leather looks, and a great option of colours and sizes in both rigged and unrigged versions. You also get a hud that allows for changing the texture of the metal on the zip, and a resize option for the unrigged pair. I thought that the also went so well with the striped stockings a previous erratic release and the great switch mini by SySy’s. The top is the lovely Mignon top by Maitreya. Recently when they did a new necklace-less version of the dress, they surprised us with the top as well, and the shape is perfect for fitting over other clothing, but I will admit, I was tempted to wear it with panties only earlier lol, sometimes you just have to beeehave though.
