    If you are a watcher of stores like I am, you will definitely be impressed by the works of Ivey Deschanel of Sn@tch. I like many I am sure, chuckle each time a notice arrives with some kind of way to use Sn@tch in a well known quote, title or musical reference. But it is always with awe that I see how much she manages to create in a week or two. The use of textures, the flawless execution of her detailing, and also her ability to take mesh that may be used by others and put her own unique stamp on it, is very cool. One day a friend and I marvelled at how she turned a mesh sweater into a cardigan (closed) with just texture detailing, it was beautiful work.

    I went over recently and hit up her appliers section, it is really well layed out her store…I bought mostly everything in sight that worked with the Slink body, and with the help of the gorgeous cardigan from Fishy Strawberry, I had a look that is just stylish and comfortable, and so easy to put together. You of course get many colours with your Sn@tch items, so combinations can be a great lot of fun, and the cardigans gem buttons are texture change also.

    I have on my Jazz boots from Maitreya, that with a few alpha options and sizing correctly were able to fit over my body well, and I just adore these boots, the wedge heel, the open back…Maitreya has always since day one delighted us in all footwear, but for me it has always been their boots that just knock me over.

    Wasabi pills has created this lovely hair I have on today. I like the simplicity of the style, it is very girly, and very all day every day hair…which for many is something they can really embrace. I do wish I personally had more options in colours for Wasabi Pills hair, as a lot of the textures don’t often work for me, but I do always fine something in the mix that I can play around with. I am thinking of going back to lighter browns, blondes again this year, the black was always a safety zone habit when stores didn’t have textures I was fond of, and then it just sticks for a while and I forget I like more variety – it is why naturals packs are awesome.

    I fell in love with this skirt instantly. Not only the very cool leggings built in – with its own hud and option to make them invisible – but the hipster fit of it and just the great mesh work on the whole look. I was kind of at a loss to know what to wear with it, and then I found this great shirt by Spirit that I just had to have, the leather, the slashed look of it and the wool knit contrast of the whole thing. Slipping into platform slides with the same slashed charm had my whole look pulled together.

    Going with an older hair theme this week it seems, I have on this great style by Red Mint. I always love her hairstyles, they always have that tousled “couldn’t really care” look about them, that just comes together to look fabulous. I am still rocking out my YS&YS Frida skin appliers from My Attic, I am excited as to when the full version of this skin will come out, but make the most of it being only 95L at My Attic while you can, it’s a MUST HAVE!

    The Pearl

    The Pearl

    For some of us, gone are the days of Formal Events in Second Life…but I do enjoy seeing so many lovely ladies in their finery tping in and out of sims, grabbing that last minute clutch purse, or the perfect updo to finish a look. In the olden days, we used to wear the gowns we bought, there was always an occasion about to happen, or just have happened that we all coo’d and aaaahhh’d over for weeks leading up to and days afterwards. There was once even a huge event on my own sim at The Deck, I heard it was a wonderful affair, unfortunately my internet went down and I missed my own Suprise Party.

    So formal wear for me these days is more of a collectable piece, something that I know I will cherish the beauty of, but may never wear off the posestand. This incredible peplum gown skirt (it comes without as well, which is brilliant) is one of those pieces that on sight I hoped would fit my body, and was so overjoyed that it did. Then lo and behold just a few booths up at Trend 3 was this knockout blouse, that I knew instantly would make the perfect accompaniment to the skirt, and perfection it fit too.

    The richness of both fabrics makes them statements in themselves, so some demure pearls on the wrists and lobes is all that is needed…also bringing out some older hair in the form of Moon by Maitreya that I have missed wearing. These styles were epic, and still hold up today, I would love to see them redone in mesh but if I say that out loud Onyx will put gum in my hair and that will be the end of that…so shhhhhhh.

    Being able to watch someone blossom into an amazing content creator is a blessing, that I am really privelaged to be able to do from the sidelines. One such creator is Narcisse Constantine of Lacuna who has her mainstore on my sim at The Deck, so when I am being a sticky beak, or lucky enough to get shown WIP’s I get to be all giddy with glee at how amazing her talent is. She has been creating some amazing system layer/appliers clothing of late, and the lingerie she has handdrawn for My Attic is simply stunning.

    It is very baring for us more modest of people, so while you cannot see it in its glory on me, you can when you go to the My Attic event and pick it up in all the colours, because you would be mad not to. It comes with system and appliers for Slink Physique and Maitreya Lara bodies, so you will be well covered.

    The hair I am wearing with is also at My Attic and is the lovely Linda by Mina…a very nice mid parted style that will look great clothed or not so clothed as I am. The hand jewellery that is a MUST comes in silver, black or gold options, and you choose between for system hands, casual, elegant or elegant 1 slink hands. I got the casual sets but will definitely run back and pick up some others for other hands, so I can mix and match as needed. They are at The Designer Circle and a great price also.

    Whimsy, SySy, Ashia and I went shopping all over town today. We hit up many events and the stand out one of the day was Trend3 which we got the details of from SeraphimSL. I picked up this stunning dress called Sydney, which is available in 6 colours, so there was a bit of “BACK OFF IT’s MINE!” that went down. We generally all buy the same items, but we do call dibs on colours etc. The style is just gorgeous, and the colour superb. The splits up each leg, the tied up front make it a really stand out dress.

    I wanted to make it a lovely day dress, so pairing it with the glorious sandals from Maitreya, and a nice bag I also picked up at the event made my look complete. Well not exactly, it was a no brainer on which hairstyle for this look, Blake by Lelutka 110% fit the bill. So make sure you visit the event, it is a U-Shape so don’t get to one end like Whimsy and stand around waiting for more…she muttered about closure and all that crazyness, so we just walked the complete event back the other way so that she got a full square.

    Those Schoolgirl Days

    Cloudy

    Frida

    Have you met Frida ? She is the newest YS & YS Skin, and My Attic is blessed to have it as a teaser release this round. If you are a fan of YS & YS as we are at The Deck, then you will be familiar with their stunning faces, the beautiful bodies, and the wonderful assortments of make ups. The other upside to this is that this release also includes Visage appliers for those of you that – like me – wear the Slink Visage head. This teaser package comes with no hairbase, red, black and blonde hairbases. Brows in brown, black, red and blonde, and three lipstick options, two of which are so strinking in their deep lucious red tones. The nude is also exeptional, and it is the slight curl to the upper lip, and minute beauty marks that just make it a MUST HAVE! especially at the 95L price. Three tones are available, and if you already have your body/hands/feet appliers from previous releases you are set – and even if not, those are incredibly priced at the mainstore.

    I saw Bubbi the dress by Kaithleens and fell smack in love with it. It is so adorable, in that Parisian schoolgirl way. We wear uniforms down here too, but ours tend to be in either plaid, tartan or just outright table cloth check pattern. By the end of school, you usually end up never wanting to wear blue again – yes that too, most of our school uniforms are blue, occasionally there is a maroon or a brown and yellow thing going on, but mostly its Blue, and Blue and Grey for the boys. I decided that if I was going to be in that kind of look, then true to form I would have to work out a way to wag, and so grabbing a low flying cloud by Flowey and off I go…no school today for Sasy. While it is not really school girly, and peter pan collars are so on trend these days, I still cannot help mixing those looks in my head, so socks and heels by Reign that are at N21 right now, were the perfect accompaniement to the look, and this amazing hair called Siri by Ploom that we are also lucky to have at My Attic.

    So if you don’t take flight yourself today, drop by and grab yourself EVERYTHING!

    Exiled from Love

    Exiled from Love

    The men get to be sexy this round of My Attic too. With ‘Temptation’ as the theme, ‘do you think I’m sexy baby’ well do you ? I had so much giggle time putting this picture together, and probably had more fun than I do as a woman. But then dressing up is always a fun time at The Deck. Wonton/Faun made these great mens mesh boxer shorts, you get a double pack and I just had to show them off somehow. Lucky for me, when visiting TMD in the past, I picked up this wonderful skin by Kooqla…as a blogger deals like that can not be passed up, because you never know when you are going to need to Man UP! or play a tamborine, or fly a kite. They are just things you need to grab when the grabbing is good.

    Lounging on the Temptation Lounge that Whimsy and I created for the event, with 9 poses all included and 3 colours of the lounge, it was just the perfect way to show it, and the boxers off. Not that my boxers are off, they are definitely on. Kavar is also a great giggle, if you don’t know him then you will know his hair. Exile always does fantastice womens hair, but it is also the male hair that just stands out and says NOTICE ME. I knew that I would have no trouble finding the perfect Romance Novelesque hair from Exile, so with that, my boxers, my skin, and my perfect hands and feet from Slink – Appliers are available at Kooqla too – I was ready to take my stage.

    I even found a website for inspiration for my cover, honestly one guy has done 7000 covers, I wonder if that is more or less than Fabio, and I wonder if he sells the book ? I mean would you read the book because the same hunk was on the cover, because he becomes your favourite ‘leading Man’ I guess it makes sense…we watch movies because of actors we like, so why not Romance Novels too.

    This look also rocks, because it gave me the chance to rock out the ‘male’ version of my Billionaire watch from Mandala, see keeping the guy versions, or in some cases the girls versions of things is a smart move in Second Life, you never know when that flexi skirted nurses uniform you got from a ‘lucky chair’ once (that’s what you say) will come in handy.

    The Seasons Story – Winter Wibble

    The Seasons Story - Winter 1

    The Seasons Story - Winter 2

    The Seasons Story - Winter 3

    The Seasons Story - Winter 4

    Go big or go home, that is what it felt like visiting The Seasons Story the other day with Whimsy. I have been to two others in the past, and I especially loved the train themed one. This one I went into blindly, not having any idea of a theme, and was really excited to visit that way….no pre-screening of any of the items, just fun visiting and looking at everything. Now there are a few things to point out about the event though. They may seem like pros and cons, but the event as a whole is wonderful, so this is just forewarning of what you need to know of. Firstly make sure you have time, lots of time to spend there, looking at everything. Secondly wear as little as you can, and system layers are about all you need, because you will be demoing a lot of great items, and having to undress and redress is just a chore no one needs. Thirdly, make sure you have deep pockets, you are going to need them, you will not get out of here without spending, and rightly so, because I got some fantastic items.

    Now in the past it has been you entered and you followed a path, and for the most part you do that this time too, but BE AWARE, this build tricked me big time. I walked out of the landing point building, which is adorable… and into the path, I did my lap to the right – there are rules I have about how I have to navigate things – and only one side first, the other side of the path on the second pass, I cannot left and right as I go, it is just too cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

    This is my warning part. I thought I was done, I did my lap, I saw and tried on great things and that was it right ? NO! This event is three tiers of awesome shopping, and if your draw distance is down, as it most likely will be when visiting any popular event, you can completely miss the fact that there is more. I really believed I had done the event, and then saw that those gorgeous arches that I made sure to take a picture of, were in fact leading me to the next section. The build is great, and the tiers mean you only rez where you are at, which is good, but again, I did not think there was more…so I encourage you to always take steps down anything that looks like a pathway or an opening, because you will find treasures.

    Almost head to toe is from The Seasons Story. This incredible sweater is a MUST HAVE! I bought it in two of the colours it comes in, and you also get a hud with texture change for the sleeves. The leggings are beautiful long john looking leggings – make sure you demo everything, as these did not fit me at the waist with my body properly, but I knew I would be layering and I just wanted to own them too, but DEMO DEMO DEMO – you should be always demoing all mesh anyway.

    Damselfly is the creator of this stunning hair, they have levelled up big time in their store make over – yes these are things I notice – their ads, their styles, everything has a more polished look about it all, and I have always enjoyed the niceness of both creators behind the brand, so fell in love with this style big time.  Always easy to mix and match to co-ordinate, my Glamistry shoes worked really well with this look. At first I was going to make the straps black and the rope ties blue, but settled on this variation instead, the interchangable options of the huds make it so easy for that, especially if you fatpack.

    Sparkle Pony

    Sparkle Pony

    I am a sparkle pony, well not really but if you ever played WOW you would remember they have a sparkle pony you can buy. I laughed so hard when Mel made an announcement in his guild saying that if you can afford a sparkle pony and not update your pc to not crash during raids, you are OUT OF HERE! funniest thing ever. I love the combination of these Uber and C88 items worn in todays post. The softness of the gold really helps with the choice of champagne skirt I went with in the pencil skirt, because I didn’t want a yellowy gold look.

    Combining the white and gold of the stunning unicorn inspired footwear, with the gold and pearls from yummy, it all just came together. I also adore that knowing Emery is always just spot on with her palettes I reached for natural blindly and it was perfection. This outfit would be perfect for a daytime soiree of sorts, a wedding as a guest, or something that just wants you to show you are definitely well put together, and know your day from night looks.

    Rocking out the UPDATED 2.1 Lara Body by Maitreya, make sure you got yours. YS&YS have made appliers for one of my most worn skins, so I ran over and picked those up, so that I could wear the body with my Visage head and all working. I am wearing set 1 of the Maitreya nail appliers I made for Flair that have gold through them, and then the Slink High feet, which when worn in size xs work perfectly with the body, seeing as I wear the xs with the Slink body anyway, nothing has to change.
