I was looking for a little something to bring my look together, and felt my hair needed something more…when thinking more you think LODE and some great hair accessories are to be had. While all the floral sets I have were a bit too much, this butterflies attachment in black as a rare, was perfect. Then I was lucky enough to also find this amazing decor piece, that just changed the whole vibe. Both are gacha items from much older events, but you could luck out and get exactly what you need, it never hurts to play a LODE machine.

The dress I am wearing is by Pixicat, and with the addition of this capelet by Fashionably Dead, both items from C88, the dark and mysterious all comes together. I love the capelet, and it gives a little wicked purity to the look, then BAM! that dress, so sexy. Down the long legs, to the strappy heels by Vale Koer, that are very statement like in their slender straps, and just pointy enough toes.

Finishing off the look with this perfectly messy style by Monso, that can have you wondering, what exactly has she been up to…

I ended up golden again today, and it all came together with the help of this beautiful dress by The Annex. While it is based on fantasy theme, it has this beautiful textural bliss about it that I could not resist. I believe that a Hollywood Movie Star from the past would be made such a delicately delightful dress, that it would be a given that such a thing would be created exclusively for her, because she would be so spoiled that she would do nothing but stand, or sit around and be pampered… and because of that, no fabric was unwearable ( you know, like normal people not being able to wear linen ).

The hair by Exile is perfect for the look, and while I had been going with reds more of late, the blonde just suited to perfection. A bit of jewellery by LaGyo and the finishing touch the perfect shoes by Noir. They have such great detailing, that they really worked well with the dress.

I changed up my look with the help of some Deetalez skins I had not worn for a while, it is very shocking how much skins can change the look of a mesh head, and with the addition of a lipstick applier, I was done.

Happy Anniversary to the team over at HairOlogy. It has been a great year for hair lovers, and with this month being their birthday, you can benefit greatly with lots of gifts and exciting styles to be found.

The style I am wearing today is one by Iconic for the event, its a very alluring style, and it started off the whole look. Tempting you with the red waves, and enticing you with hints of gold and glamour. This perfect little black dress is by Cynful, and is part of this round of Collabor88. The buttons running down the sleeve, lead to the gold influence, and it all pulled together perfectly from there, the dress has many options, open and closed shirt, and contrast colours via hud, so much dress in such a tiny package. From the very short length, to the tops of these ‘spank me’ stockings by Luxuria…they have beautiful cursive detailing up the lower legs, and then seams to the top, very risque. Slipping the silky gams into these great dancing t-strap shoes by Ingenue, also a C88 release.

I had some luck with the gold and black influences, with this marvelous chandelier by Second Spaces, and then this amazing mirror feature by The Loft and Aria, also from C88 and definitely going to ritz up your abode. With much luck the Doorway prop by VR Foundry is mod and allowed me to set up the scene, open doorway and tint and add some shiny for the gold door and doorway. It comes with poses that are very striking, but I went with some I had from SLC.

Being all about the make it your own, I was looking for art for the walls, and instead came across these recessed ceiling lights by Tarte, search inventory is not so specific, but with some resizing, some tinting and some multiplying the individual light, I gave myself a wall feature. You can have a lot of fun with edit when available on items.

Insolence creator Camilla Yosuke has returned to Second Life, and for us oldbies it is a very happy moment. Camilla is very talented, and her Lingerie was in everyones closet for many years. She was ahead of her time though when it came to skills, having 3d modeling experience already and no ability to use it, with the implementation of sculpties just making for more frustration. Now she has returned, and if her first release Dahlia is anything to go by, we are in for a very seductive ride into the future of this beloved brand.

The piping, underwire detailing is all superb, and I just love the french knickers style of panties for the set. They come in lovely textures in soft delightful colours, and I look very forward to more…hopefully we can convince her to make some playful wear all the time sets too, as running around the grid in underwear has always been a Second Life perk.

The necklace/choker I am wearing is the latest by Mandala. It is featured at this round of TMD, and seriously so so sexy. It comes with a fantastic metal changing hud, and the style, the fit, all of it is just marvelous. Getting my hair out of the way to show off these delights was a breeze, with one of the more recent styles by LeLutka, worn with the hairbase I am still hooked on. The incredible detailing to the floral band of this style is gorgeous, and has texture change options for the colouring. Must have pieces all around today.

I often do editing on my pictures, not in a glamorising them way, but in fixes to issues that occur that may be not seen when shooting, or may not be fixable in Second Life.

I hope the video helps, if you have any questions you can leave a comment and I am more than happy to help if I can. The picture used was from a recent post HERE.

The theme this round of Uber has a distinct Military vibe. If you are into that look, you are sorted for the next year of fabulous looks, it is an amazing array of awesome. Not part of Uber but timed very well, is this boiler suit by Rowne that is part of the most recent Luxe Box. You can get info on that from the credits.

The suit comes with different denim options, and is made for many body options, including Slink original and hourglass, making me very happy indeed. I am wearing with it, the adorable high heeled trainer/ankle boots from Breathe that are at the Swag event, and come with options to change elements of the boot, which came in handy to go with the awesome hat/hair by Wasabi Pills.

I always rave on about Hat/Hair, it is my true love. This style by Wasabi Pills at Uber is so awesome and so perfect I have been admiring it for days. It also comes with a without hat option, which is a great ponytail style, but HAT HAIR wins the day. It is also called Jane, which made me giggle at the Military nod on both the hat, and the naming, subtle but I got it.

With all this white and black perfection, I sought out a bag and came across this promo by Illi happening on Marketplace, it has texture change options for the bag and the straps, so white/black combo with ease.

Also perfect for options are the earrings by Mandala, currently at N21, they are just heavenly, and the shape, texture and just all around beauty of the details is Mandala all the way.

I am having a great time with these bunker set pieces by Cheeky Pea, so much fun, the posters are perfect, the lanterns are just wonderful and the crates and sandbags super military influenced, very cool set indeed, great for snuggling while waiting for a cease fire on some RP sim.
