Dictatorshop is having a 40% OFF SALE and if you know their items you know that you need to get over there immediately. Now while they have historically speaking been very Adult orientated some of their most amazing sets are also available in PG versions, and you need to scoop those up. I love the masculinity of many of their sets, and this Vindustria set (Vintage Industrial) is just gorgeous, the materials, the leather and metal work…I can just hear it as I push it across the floor in my loft to reorganise my space.

The sofa and chair both have texture change options, with colours like caramel, chocolate and licorice, as well as this cranberry and lovely cinnamon, to name a few. You can buy the individual pieces, the set or just combine adult and pg if you need it that way, it is up to you. Everything is controlled via the Ds symbol on the back of the furniture or a click at the base of the seats. I adore this set and so much of it there, I am going to need to rez some more homes.

The regular vendors are scripted to buy full price get 40% refunded, but the red vendors strewn around the place have the discount already applied, so depending on how your balance is. Do not miss out, sale ends 6th July.

I am planning the day ahead with my Baiastice shirt dress and sandals that are at this round of Uber, they come with bra and panties options to turn on or off and have contrasting prints for a bit of a peek a boo bra thing going on. The belted waist has texture change options and it all very make your own style out of clothing. The shoes also have options for contrast and are just a great summer sandal.

I was loving this hair yesterday but as it did not expose the back properly for the blouse I was wearing I had to let it wait, but today I can rock this gorgeous centre parted style. The way things are going, how beautiful it feels sitting here in this space I might be here until Sunday.

There are a lot of things I know about wearing mesh, how it works, what is involved in creating it, how it should fit. Most of the time I am aware why something does something, and on a rare occasion, I have some kind of a breakdown in what I know vs reacting to something I see at the moment.

I was doing a round of some weekly event a few weeks ago, and I fell head over heels for an item of clothing in a store, I tried on the demo and saw that there was no Slink Physique Hourglass option, but it did have a Slink Physique Original option…this blouse was so stunning to me that I was ok with that, I could swap between bodies as needed. I then purchased the fatpack and on unpacking saw that there was, in fact, an Hourglass size included. I was confused but thought my goodness maybe it was added after some release, but if Hourglass seekers were thinking they had no option based off of the demo, this was a terrible thing. I contacted the creator, thanking them for making such a stunning blouse, and that there was no Hourglass in the demo, and they may want to fix that so everyone like me could snap up this stunner.

I bought other things, also beautiful but my heart was taken by this blouse. I went home, I put it on and was playing with the options as the colour worn today was the demo and I had not noticed anything odd, it also had a demo sign and was in a different body size, plus as you can see I was taken aback by the back… such a beautiful blouse. I put on the satins, the prints and the solids and to my dismay, the buttons were clipping, the shirt was folded along the shirt front, now this is not actually separate mesh it is smooth across the chest it just has the texturing to give the illusion of a button up shirt style. So the overlapping had me in shock and that is apparently where my brain broke. You see I was so distressed by this, because of the love affair I wished to have with it, I was blinded from common sense. I panicked and tried on other versions, thinking that perhaps the one I had on had been incorrectly labelled – that has happened many times to me, always check other sizes if something seems to not fit in a very big way – but alas no. I realised that the dark colour of the demo and my excitement and it being the other body size had somehow blinded me to seeing something that I would not have usually missed. I already had the creators IM open, as I had contacted them about the demo etc. So I took screenshots and I sent them a message explaining there was an issue.

Then a few days later I was trying on a bikini top, and the join at the cleavage had a bow and the bow was distorted and my very chill mind went oh ok I see what is going on there, because you remember I KNOW THINGS!… so as I have done one trillion times before, I went into my shape and adjusted my cleavage join slider. Now this slider in our shapes is the fixer of many things, and one is when things in between your breasts either stretch or overlap (in some cases it can even help when the outside of the breasts are poking through the mesh slightly…I KNOW THIS! but I will admit that in the trillion times it has happened before it has been on tops that came in close to the body, bikini styles mostly, it is often because the shape the creator is using to build on is shape defined by their own settings so if you are off the mark then that can cause issues. So imagine when my embarrassment to have this knowing stuff brain kick in for the bikini top and then my realisation that it did not kick on for this gorgeous blouse. Because yes folks that is exactly what was happening, the same change I made to shape for the bikini fixed the blouse and the rest is history. So when I finish this post, I will be IMing the creator of this magnificent blouse and apologising for my brain meltdown that day and thank her again for making such a divine top that I want to wear with all the things.

So here is the perfect blouse that I love called Vintage Blouse by Ane worn with a favourite skirt by Miss Chelsea. I plan to wear the blouse with pants, jeans, everything I can. The strappy shoes by Breathe were perfect for the style – these shoes are part of an event that works at the event and in the store together, the black and fatpack are at the event only, the colours singular are at store, fun idea giving people the chance to visit both. Just make sure it was clear that I was definitely owning my error, this amazing crows headpiece by Zibska worn atop the Haven hair by Exile just has me styled to the nines, tens and elevens.

You know when you just want to make yourself a little nosh and then all hell breaks loose, well that is what can happen if you have an infestation of adorable Red Pandas by Mutresse. These gorgeous animated critters come in various options, this hanging one is actually part of the breakfast tray with food and pose, I cannot imagine being able to resist sharing if this was to happen. They are part of the current Arcade event, which ends in just under a week, so be sure to head over and play a few spins.

With the chomping of greenery, it leads to a very floral theme for the post, with this very feminine top and shorts set by Mimikri I had a great canvas for my look, with touches of red added with these great pieces by Lode in the shape of these floral headphones and vase with flowers. Keeping up the red the Diana heels by Utopia Design are stunners, in a mule family they are strappy goodness with such great leatherwork and a sexy heel shape plunging to the floor. A strong straight heel like this is a must-have.

I had some of my hybrid hair fun today with the babyhairs hairbase by Izzie’s teamed up with one part of the Janelle hair by Tableau Vivant. The style is two parts generally and a great backcombed look, the centre parted front section is great, but I opted to not use it in this post as the hairbase worked so well on its own, and it gives me more flexibility on accessories. The two part hair makes it possible to resize the front section when worn to fit any heads and not need that part to be fitted, very smart thinking from over there at Tableau Vivant.

I got these glasses first pull of a Gacha machine at Mudskin while the girls were playing with skin demos. I was fortunate enough to be gifted this skin by Ashia when she got it multiple times from one of their previous skin releases, and it is just lovely.

The glasses pulled my whole look together, with my adorable Geek Chic combination of track pants and Tank. I am smitten by these pants, they are by Tee*fy and the leopard print is just wonderful, I also love that you have the added options to change the waist and cuffs to different colours so that I could tie it all in with my great tank by Miss Chelsea.

Garbaggio has these amazing runners at the SL16B event, and there are so many options of colours and combinations, it is staggering, the other times I have purchased shoes from them I spent the day changing colours every ten or so minutes just to say I did a whole fatpack – I am odd like that sometimes. The exciting thing is that they come in male and female sizes, so definitely must haves.

Another must-have in my opinion is this hair by Runaway, the other day I was wearing Zoe which I love to pieces and then when over there having a look around I found this style which is the down equivalent of Zoe, and I was so excited. I love following a theme for hair, and this has styling hud options and breast sizes and it just rocks my world.

Whimsy and I went to Coco the other day, it is a thing we often do, just have a need for some Coco. The store was laid out differently than the past, or I just tpd further outside than in. There is a discounted area, and two main newer sections, the second newer section we had not noticed in the past and had to catch up.

The discounted area was fun though, with most items being standard sizing still it can be a bit of trying things to see how they work, but I still left arms full. I grabbed this great lettermans jacket and hoodie combo, it also comes without the hoodie to wear over other clothing. I am wearing the medium and then with hiding all my parts underneath it is perfect, also because it is a bit bigger it fit incredibly well over my sporty overalls from Miss Chelsea that I have worn a lot since purchase – actually they are having a huge SALE at the moment so I need to head on over there again.

Keeping up with the sporty motif I knew my vale koer Harley sneakers were a match made, and then putting them on they were already set in the same colours, no work needed, but with the fatpack that I have you can mix up and arrange the colours as you like, makes them very cool runners to have, you can also turn off the upper ankle part, so its two styles of shoe in one.

I have been wearing this great hairstyle on and off for a week now, I love it, and with the hairbase by Izzie’s it is just a gorgeous look, it does have its own hairline included, but with differing shapes and so on having it be possible to turn off and wear your own base is just smart salon sense :)
