No wonder Oysters make you wanna do it
The incredible blonde of this skin, had me leaning towards athletic style looks. But then I gave into the warm and cozy of the pieces shown today. The knits, tweed and tartans all make up such wonderful pieces to mix and match, or to wear solo depending on style.
The first two dresses have the same backs, but as raunchy as they are, the knits themselves tone that down just enough. Suspenders are something I have always loved the look of on womens fashion, very stylised and reminiscent of the roaring 20’s and mens pinstripe suits.
Many of the pieces shown today are older ones from Deetalez, and whether old or new to you, they definitely add and enhance wintery looks. A lot of the pieces have solids or print options, and I would be totally torn when it comes to choosing for these coats, as both are just divine.
The New Pearl Glow skin by LAQ has been developed for the natural blondes, the bottle blondes, and the blondes hiding inside of us all. It’s that perfect light shade that is both sunkissed and nordic looking, with the perfectly pulled back look that can look both casual and stunning.
Beautiful body base as usual, with subtle day to night time make ups. I really love that you get such a lovely natural blonde look, and it is great that it also comes without a base for those that just want the brows and not the hair. Hair base skins are so easy to fall for though as they really do change the look of hair you wear with them, often enriching the over all style because of the additional hairline, so make sure you try on the demos asap.

Princess Me
I don’t know why, but sometimes designers feel comfortable to show together. It’s like a natural move from folder to folder, because you just know the quality and vision is on par with each other.
That’s how I felt about putting together 5th & Oxford and Fri.day felt tonight, with a bit of LAQ thrown in for sexy overdrive. Lingerie from 5th & Oxford just makes me feel so beautiful, in that vintage bombshell kind of way. It makes you feel that every curve and line of your body was just made for this moment.
I could lounge around like this all day if I had the time, but knowing that the lingerie works so well mixed with clothing I don’t have to go without. The lingerie pieces all come on all layers, so you can combine them with many other clothing options, to create your own look.
Recent hair and clothing from Fri.day is scrumptious, the comfy sweater is something that you would never want to go without during the colder months, it is like a favourite coat but with the added benefit of being able to shove it in your carryall and not weigh yourself down if it gets warmer through the day.
It definitely has a smoking jacket kind of look to it’s style, which is very Hugh Heffner and so a natural leaning towards lingerie…see how that all works.
Using the Debutante Chaise in this post, this Chaise Lounge has so many different poses in built, a photographers version and such beautiful rich leather textures in various colours to choose from. A great prop for photographers, but also a lovely piece of furniture for your home.

blog – Sprinkle your stores
I was talking earlier about the fun that is shopping. Sometimes it is fast paced, you find a new store, or visit one you know you love already and the right click buy is faster than gunfire.
Then there are those days you really get to enjoy a store, looking at it not only for it’s creations, but it’s whole aesthetics. Quirky little charms, and a real feeling that you are in the space of someone that wants to share with you the whole experience of their passion.
Unfortunatly though, due to prim limits and expense, you cannot always add or do what you wish you could. The quirk or little parts of yourself cost extra, and sometimes – and especially with newer stores – that can cost more than you have to bargain with.
Recently I went to look at some skyboxes with Whimsy, it was actually before the new year lol, so not so recent recent. There was one in particular that I loved, not just for the design, but because the creator put a bit of her own heart in the build.
It was a poem that the builder had taken and rewritten onto the texture of one wall, the house of course came with a version without. But this kind of touch completely made the house a home.
I think stores should look like stores, I am not saying run out and redo your whole shop in personal house like looks – eeks at livingroom wallpaper walls in a store – but add a splash of you to it. Some of you may remember MAD Magazines. I was comic mental as a kid…and would totally spend hours now reading them too if I had the same access to them I did then.
If you do, then you will remember the little miniature cartoons that ran up the sides of the page. They were so incredibly detailed and often had their own little story going on, but they were also not a distraction from the main pages themselves, just extra sprinkles if you will.
Whippet & Buck has such sprinkles, one in particular makes me smile every time I visit the store. I once read a twitter from Dakota Buck alluding to her love for Project Runway, this was when the show first came about. I have only recently ever watched it, and I was so entranced by the whole thing, it is an incredible show…not your normal reality TV crapola.
Now that I have watched it enough, that sprinkle stands out to me, speaks to me about passion. To those that have never seen it the same thing just works within the store environment. But those that have will smile, and know a little more about the girls behind Whippet & Buck, and that one thing makes them real.
I bought the fat pack of the beautiful new cropped bustier, and knew that it would have so many fun uses. This is just one.
Have a Passion Filled Day!

blog – Ta Daaaaa
I have this obsession, it is known as Ninja. It has had such an impact on my life in the last year or so. Yes it is a website that lets me see shows that are not yet in Australia and I love it.
One such show of course is Glee, only just started down here, and yet I have already seen the season on Ninja. I have laughed, I have gasped and I have bawled like a baby over that show…not only are the cast incredibly talented musically but they sure as hell picked a bunch of truly wonderful actors that can really pull at the old heart strings.
So the other day when I was tping around, I saw this fab t-shirt and just had to show my Glee love, it is the perfect backdrop show for a bunch of society labeled “losers” and that they all come good, and are shown to have so much to bring to the table, it makes me very happy indeed.
The boots I have on are the Armarda boots by Kookie, the three colours available are a splendid mix, and with or without socks option works well, because you never know what mood you will be in ahead of time. The leather texture on these is just that right side of worn looking, and I really like the mid calf length of them.
The recent hair release from Fri.day had me joyously happy, with the hat/hair combos of YUM. Not only is there the fedora look hat/hairs , but also the loose knit cap look, all three are just perfect, and Fri.day came to the party bringing out a set of Fedora poses as well.
Have you been to Whippet & Buck lately? if not you should go, and when you are feeling a bit bleh, it is so much fun trying on all the demos of the clothes, not just for quality assurance, but just because it could open up your eyes to something you wouldn’t normally see yourself in, and you can pre plan a look, mixing and matching with other items.
Everytime I visit, even though I know exactly what I am getting, I cannot help it, I have to try them on, because I think if they went through that much trouble, I’m doing it.
Speaking of Designers who go above and beyond. I was trying to piece together my last look, and came across the fabulous Magician Vests in my inventory, I was sold on their hand drawn lovelyness…but the colours were not going to work with what I wanted to do. I Growled and Grumbled in Eclectic’s IM box, and moments – seriously moments – later I had a new colours folder of the Magicians Vest, which she has put out for sale in her store at a special price.
The vest is just perfect, and comes on all layers, so you can mix and match to your hearts content. Vests are such a classic, and when done in this style they become a perfect staple for your wardrobe, and these new colours give them a definite vintage op shop look, having you ready for a day out doing the markets and galleries with friends or solo, to finish off at your favourite cafe.
Alice is a GLOW skin by LAQ, Alice just like all GLOW skins have a youthful essence to them, that not only works for casual and sporty, but merges into girl next door turned bombshell without much effort at all. Today I went with the more out and about looks, I think after the Tasha 2 pics I needed to show LAQ in a different light lol.
I am wearing the new PM Sculpted nails…these have pretinted bases for many skins you may like,I was wearing the LAQ Nougat gloves and I was set.
The nails come in sizes from 10-50 and the hud gives you lots of colours and french manicure options.

blog – Erotika
Yes it is true, if you are ever wanting to shoot a garage calender, or porn lol this AO is for you. Seriously the poses and jumps and hovers are dangerous. I kept expecting to get in trouble for suggestive body language, then I remembered I was at home and the cops couldn’t get past my security orb, and if they did Fia would snack on them.
It isn’t called Erotika for nothing. I wanted to show the latest delights from LAQ, and I was going to do the usual all faces thing, but it was wayyyy too much fun pretending I was in a dirty calender shoot. Aren’t you all lucky I used up all my body oil in the last post :P.
When I tried on the hair I am wearing from Dernier Cri, I told Sofia that it was like I had just been shagged, it definitely has that morning after tousled look to it that only a great big bang can achieve.There are two kinds of great hair, the ocean spray dried from the sun wringlets, and the fantastic sex waves, you know it’s true.
Anyway, this hair, that skin and a fantastic bikini while walking in the incredibly sexy shoes by Maitreya. Honestly if I could right now, I would walk straight into WOW like this and hunt down Mel. There are many things to love about this kini, the first is the colour range and style, then there is the adorable ties…but my fav bit is the detailing that runs along the inner cheek, that allows for a nice tight buns look.
Speaking of tight though, as soon as I saw the AO kick into the pose in pic three, I knew I had to dig around for the cleavage enhancers also from LAQ for their own skins…see there is so much realism there, if I was doing that pose and didn’t have them on it would be odd lol.
Get thee to LAQ the Bikini is from there too, but honestly Tasha2 is a beautiful addition to the Glow skins line, if you already have Tasha you are going to love the new make ups. If you don’t then get thee to a demo.

blog – and she danced
Thora wanted Flashdance, so I scoured the grid, and I got her Flashdance. Well the best I could do in the late hours as it was. Imagine if stores in SL had real retail hours *gasps*. I love it actually, since I typed that I just had a ten minute convo about it with Whimsy.
Imagine if for every 24 hours they were broken into two 12 hour lots, and those were broken into 8 plus 4. Imagine also if it was a LL ruling that everyday your store could only operate in one 8 hour slot, and had to be manned by you or a registered business partner. I love the idea of this, the concept of having to get to the store on time, or it will be closed for 16 hours just like RL. Also the idea that you would wait for stores to open and run in and be seen to by the creator behind the products.
Imagine the four hour gaps too, when no retail business could operate, there would be clubs and social areas only, so people would plan events again. I love the idea of running home after your shift, and having to get ready in the outfit you tpd over and grabbed during your lunch break that day lol.
Ok I could come up with scenarios with this concept forever. But moving on, Thora created a stunning curly style named Jeniffer after the sexiest 70’s Jen of them all Jeniffer Beals. This hair is gorgeous, and if you are a curly hair fan this one is for you. The style will be released at some stage today…and the new textures as stated before are just stunning.
I saw this movie when I was in 5th class, a school excursion where I really think that the teachers had no idea how adult the movie was going to be. I remember the strobe light scene and all the kids in my class pretending to move like robots because it looked even cooler. One of my greatest days as a kid…and tonight I got to revisit it with this hair .
Don’t forget it is only due to the fabulous VR Foundry Professional Posestand and HUD that I am able to do the ‘more than one of me’ pics, I would never survive without it.
Also what’s not to love, I managed a stripper pole AND Body oil in this post, I think I have outdone myself this time, by the way the oil is on the outside due to it being wet – just so you know I am aware how to layer :P.

Blog – Dressed for Success
Yesterday the three of us, Ashia and Whimsy and I, were discussing the sexyness of a wrap dress. I got a tad too graphic I am sure, but then Whimsy mentioned easy access; so I was off the too much info hook. So today when I saw this dress it was an instant TP, as the style and fabric is identical to one I had RL a few years back.
I have since gone back twice, picking up the other colours as well as tping over Whimsy, who just as I knew she would, got all excited at how beautiful it was too. I definitely couldn’t pass up the lovely vest, that is actually worn on its own, but originally comes with a sheer black undershirt blouse style look, which today was a little bit too frou frou for me.
The other day I was all up in Sofias’ do, and told her that when she was over her new hair, she could let me know where it was from lol, we love our big hair and I loved it on her. In usual adorable Sofia fashion though, and because our group is like that, we tpd away and landed at new to me YunA’s. I love the hair there, it has such potential as a great store for interesting styles, especially if they keep on doing big hair.
Periquita always has such fun shoes, and with the new way of them all being colourchange, it allows for such easy mix and matching to your outfits. There are contrast options as well in some of the styles, allowing for even better colour combination looks…I really like the mix of the unusual with the traditional.

blog – dance I said
An interesting thought reared it’s head earlier today. The idea of culling your inventory just to make it less of a burden on the asset servers. Now Mel and I discuss this every other day, believe me that is truly how often he picks on me about mine.
Actually that’s not even accurate, it would be every day. Even Whimsy cops it from him, and hers and mine are almost the same in size. Whimsy scared the hell out of me last week, declaring that if it was causing a strain – Mel says that when I log back in after a crash the sim stalls – then eventually her and I wont be able to be on the same sim; at the same time.
Ashia is more brutal with hers, she gets all powered up and starts deleting things left, right and centre, mind you though she freaks me out by not even looking at what she is deleting. Which recently meant she had to buy something she had previously owned.
Luna mentioned in a plurk that came up about it, that she culls hers to less than 30 (I think it was) and that if she doesn’t use it in 6 months it is gone.
I am sorry but NO WAY JOSE! I cannot go that low, never ever ever. Lately I have been going back and forth in my inventory to show older and new items together… as I always say ‘Everything Old is New to Someone”. I have gotten rid of items that are of no use to me at all, I know I have to completely strip down my furniture folder and what not…I did also get rid of over 3000 wigs recently from one designer, just because of all the colour options I wouldn’t wear…but I do have them backed up in boxes ‘just in case’.
I know it is out of hand, and I know I am a horder lol. But my inventory is my timeline here just as much as my blogs are. I have items from every store I have managed – most of those are boxed unless needed – I cannot imagine not being able to reach into it and pull out an item I know would be perfect for a pic, or blog post regardless of its age.
The absolute beauty of NO TRANSFER items is the ability to unpack, wear, and delete…just make very sure you kept the box. No Transfer means COPY, which means UNLIMITED amounts of said item. Example is the gown I unpacked again today to wear, the deep red one, that I modified so you could see my shoes. I have had that archived in the red for probably a year, the black is left out. Now I will delete the folder, because I know I have it safely boxed.
There is so much of that that you can do as a consumer, and so much that can be done to ensure that is easier as a creator. You see many are against boxed items, usually because they want to see what they are getting with an item, and that is fair enough.
But things such as fat packs etc, are better off as seperate boxes, yes you can right click take copy your single vendors and pop them into your fat pack vendor DONE, it is as simple as that. Creators please don’t make your boxes no copy though, when the items inside of it are no transfer, it is a bit dangerous to make the box they travel in different perms.
Anywho, once you unpack and wear, you can delete, just again be sure you have a back up box that actually does contain the items ready for next time. This also applies for high price items, UNLIMITED UNPACKS, if you mod it and mess it up, unpack another one, if you cannot find all the pieces, unpack another one.
If you spend a bit more than you are used to, and you feel that that item is something you would hate to lose, if it didn’t come in a box, then before you do anything else, make a box and drag copies of the items into it, name it exactly as it is on the item folder and save it to a different folder. I know of some people that sink valuables under the house lol.
Anyway enough of all that.
The shoes I have on were created just after the opening of the Footwear Expo, so they are available at the store and the fair, in different colour sets. This set is of course the darker tones that I asked Siddean to release, for those of us who love our ballet shoes with an edgier colour base.
I was also lucky enough to choose the name of them, seeing as Ashia and I are both lovers of our ballet stuffs, I wanted them to be named after her, if Siddean liked the idea… she did, so once they were remade in the darker colours, and ready for release I bought a gift pack for Ashia, and lol she didn’t believe they were named that, she thought it was just so she could find them in her inventory that Siddean had edited the folder, and that is why she deserved them.
My first look was inspired by the movies, you know when you see a dancing movie, there is always that teacher/instructor that was a ballerina when she was younger yadda yadda , and she just has such a lovely graceful style about her, well that’s what I was going for with this look.
Modified the skirt on the second, so that you could see the gorgeous blood red slippers. The gown is beautiful full length, but something like this under is a perfect shoe to dance the night away. The third look could be ‘ More strippers are classically trained than you think ” look, lol but it was just something fabulous fun and silver to wear with the shoes..but if you want to call it that look go right ahead.
The skin is NEW and beautiful, I am not only loving the usual features of Laq skins, but the make ups on the Ania are just a bit different than the usual I believe. Mallory has added an incredible gloss effect to the lips, and the colour combination’s are just perfect. I did notice more colour this time around in the eyes especially, glad to see a beautiful green shadow amongst the pack.
Incredibly lined lids, and a really perfect under brow highlighted shadow look , that is not easy to do with the template the way it is. Mallory does her make up like someone who knows and spends time doing their own. There are such little hints at colour and shading, that can really make your eyes stand out, and it takes skill to do that.
Ania is again a more mature version of the Glow skins, sometimes depending on shape others in the range tend to side with a more youthful exuberance, so if that has been a concern to you in the past, then you should check out Ania for sure.
All the hair in the post, old and new is from Exile. All those lovely curls framing the face are such fun, and I really like that tousled lived in look for hair, cannot be too perfect all the time, can we.

Taste the Rainbow
She came, she saw, she kicked it. Seriously Anya OhMai is another reason to love all that Second Life offers. Starting SL in march of this year, she has absolutely nailed it, starting as an enthusiastic fashion lover, to blogger, to designer in such an incredibly short amount of time.
Sofia IM’s me yesterday and told me I was going to get a delivery, and I did, in the form of a multitude of incredible colours and styles. That quickly followed by a TP to the OhMai main store where I proceeded to buy up the rest of it. The colours are the first thing you notice, arranged in beautiful packs at ridiculously low prices. Staples are the first thing that comes to mind, there are so many Must Have items in there, it’s insane.My first new addiction are the sheer leggings, they stop just below the heel, making them super fabulous, and they are not only semi sheer , but RIBBED. There are a variety of colour packs, that all blend so well with everything in the store.
The Catherine blouse I am wearing is a new item in the OhMai store, it is definitely fabulous in it’s somewhat Chanel look, and a FANTASTIC use of the system skirt, you know how much I love it when people put it to such a great use as this one.
The black and white combo, with the accessories from Glow Studio’s is a definite winner, the Seasons Bag Winter bag is a great carryall, for extra shopping of Must Have items.
Could the Emma Ruffles dress be more adorable, I don’t think so. I mean first off when I put it on I had the without white skirt portion and I was in love with it, then I realised there was another skirt choice, and I squeeled. Not only again do they go with the wonderful leggings, but I only wore the sock portion of one pair, and it’s too funna. Seriously with this colour palette that Anya is using , you can literally “taste the rainbow” :P.
Three years ago now, when Fiachra of Essentia was making the hair roses, we absolutely loved the Pink Hawaiian rose , and now I have the perfect way to wear it. The thumbelina dresses are so creative and just delicately beautiful. They would make perfect Fae wear, but the style and grace of these dresses makes them just incredible cocktail dresses for all.There are actually two skirt options in these too, but I loved the bloom ones, and what’s not to love in a formal dress that turns into swimwear, because we all know what can happen at those upmarket occasions when the press go home.
Due to the limits of the mesh and clothing layers, in the past we were unable to get a lot of shape out of our clothing, that has changed a lot with the implementation of sculpted prims, and OhMai has been pushing that envelope.The Nina Sweaters give you the best little bubble butt ever. The shape and style of these oversized sweaters is fabulous, the extra detailing in the pockets and buttoned sleeves, as well as the adorable hoody attachment at the back. Again because of the design in these sweaters, you are able to wear contrasting or complimentary colours underneath, to tie it all in.
I am wearing the High Rise tanks with these , and believe me when you see the prices of the packs of these, you will think Anya has lost her marbles. But then you can be overly appreciative, because it free’s up more money for everything else in the store lol.
Lastly and one of the reasons it all came about, as Sofia fell for this beautiful Pocket Cardigan and who can blame her, I must have grabbed everyone of those as well, the colours, shape and overall idea of them is marvy, they have a definite vintage look to them, and I am so all into that.
Wearing them over the high rise tanks, and bringing it all together with the Mo Pocket pants from Miel, these pants I have shown in the past, but they definitely deserve to keep on returning, another fantastic use of prims to enhance the whole look.
All of the hair I am wearing today is from KC, Kitsune Couture, a store now owned by Niennra Kitsune of Magika fame. Niennra branched out on her own recently, and has been creating hair and clothing under her own label, so make sure you check out her new items. One of the styles shown is actually a gift from her Subscribo , so make sure you join that when you visit.
The shoes are all from Tesla, and I was blessed to find that her colour palette range, as much as it varies from style to style, allowed for some great matchy matchy colours with the OhMai range. Still loving the Carina skin by LAQ I kept it on for this post, to give you another taste, just in case you didn’t already go and demo it yet.

Another big thanks to Willow.Z for blogging some items from a new to me store. I caught a pic on her flickr, and just had to go and investigate, not only did I buy everything from the one store, but also the two others in the same sim, by the same talented creators.
Again I wanted to show the versatility of items that aren’t created for everyday wear as such, but more for the lifestyle or RP side of things.
This top is a Camisk style, in a beautiful semi sheer fabric, semi sheer is why you don’t get a full frontal :P. Wearing it with some lovely forest green shorts , and the recent release of the J’s Ankle boots SQUARE TOE , wooohooo, they were so hot in rounded, but the square are just divine, and the buckle on the sides just enhances the love. They have the same beautiful colours as the previous boots, and with the two heels options as well in the menu driven script. I love the stiletto heels with these boots, but depending on terrain the thicker heel is a blessing to have as an option, and genius to have it built in.
The Taffy is a sexy mini Camisk style dress, but it is so playfully cute, that it can be worn on it’s own for the risque, or over trousers such as the fab ones from Fri.day I couldn’t resist. I really love the style of this dress/camisk, as it gives off the illusion of being bound in by an extra layer , it is all one piece, but I would love it if the yellow portion was a seperate layer, imagine that option in a bazillion prints and solids, oh the looks YUM.
This dress is of course full Gorean garb and so incredibly beautiful, I couldn’t resist. I really like the shape of the cloak and veil, they fit perfectly and the lines and shape of the dress is wonderful. I was really impressed also that because the empire portion is attached to the long skirt, it has an inbuilt animation so that you do not end up looking peculiar with your own AO , as well as instructions on how to alter that if needed. Then once done with the gown, I took off the extra’s and added the same pants in another colour and voila, a really fun daytime look. The colour is gorgeous and I really love the billowy look sleeves and witch like collar, ok I have no idea what it’s real name is, but it so reminds me of Samantha’s cousin in Bewitched.
The Comfy set is just that, so many different RP options for this full dress, I was watching anne of green gables tonight, and it would even fit into that style too. But it was of course that incredibly scrumptious looking cardigan over the top that won me. Not only does it come in this lovely soft tan, but I got four different colours in one, seriously for the price it is a steal. Wearing the cardigan with the pants that actually grabbed my attention in the first place, these are the Meow pants from FAKE, a new to me store that is I believe a new collaberation of the creators behind Fantasia and Elements, the two stores who’s items I am also featuring today.Elements and Fantasia are of course the more lifestyle and RP side of things, and FAKE is the more modern look….all three incredible stores are on the same sim, and it is just pure luck that traveling up a beautiful path I found the other two. I should thank Whimsy for her crashing and me just wandering around waiting for her return.
WOWZA , It was instant love for the Salute Jumper also from FAKE, as soon as I had it in my mitts I was wearing it. This whole rockabilly style that is usually definitely male orientated has come out as a fantastic look for women. I think I forced Whimsy to get one too, she got a different colour, I can so imagine us strutting down a road doing a Reservoir Dogs kind of thing. I added the circle cut out socks by Kookie that I totally forgot I bought ages ago, so was super excited to find them, and that there was a great red pair in the pack. I don’t know if you can see it clearly, but I have on a cherry flavoured bling pop ring, this is from FAKE too, and comes with lots of flavours, I kind of couldn’t resist.
This next combo is the one that grabbed my attention first at Fantasia, I actually spent the whole day in this yesterday in different combination’s. First off the full set, then changed the pants to the BF jeans from Maitreya , then settled into this other mix with the red Fakies from Fake, and the addition of the strapless bra from Popfuzz. I do wish that the corset top was a tad higher, so that I didn’t have to add a seperate layer, but the red of the bra worked well, so I’m not too unhappy about it, and I love love love it as a top.Also I am wearing the fabulous Carina skins from LAQ, to me Carina is a natural progression from the Tasha skins, similar features, and beautiful detailing, I really love the soft lift to the mouth, and the full of expression eyes. This skin also comes with the hair base option, so for those like me that bought the hair base hairstyles a few months ago, you now have another beautiful GLOW skin to wear with them. Today the release of also Cleavage Enhancers for the GLOW range, it comes on three layers, and is just WOWZA. As you will see in these next few pics, it is definitely an enhancement, it will only work with the LAQ Glow skins, but if you check the fat pack prices of those you will find them an incredible bargain.
Speaking of hair, I am actually wearing Zero Style hair today. I went and grabbed both the long and the shorter style yesterday and have been back and forth’ing on all three all day and night, I love the longer styles of Camille and Shirley, with the shorter Enrica being so sleek and elegant. The braids style is Dorotea, which is just an adorable style as well.These two tops/camisks are from Elements, and the first two I saw and had to have. For some reason they remind me of vintage star trek, I am not a Treky, but that was my era, so I did actually watch every week, and the women of the different planets always had such beautiful clothes like these. The top of the left as you can see sort of on the far right, is as plunging at the front as the back , but it also has those nipple highlights I’m not a huge fan of in public, mind you I think if I am going to wear such plungey clothing I can get over it :P.
The skirt I am wearing is from Popfuzz, it’s the belted mini and these come in so handy for finishing off a look.
Holy smokes, this is again a Gorean style thingymajig, ok I am not sure if it’s a camisk as it has the prim part, but whichever it is, I had to have it because of the top :P. The choices of fabrics on all the clothing, from both the Fantasia and Elements stores are just beautiful and rich, the gold on red in this combo is beautiful and teamed up with some charcoal, it is divine. Mind you I don’t know how anyone will be able to tell what colour you have on with the top, if you wear the same skin and enhancements.
Lastly in another beautiful rich red, the Turian tied camisk is a perfectly gorgeous option for swimwear. Or at the very least, laying by the pool wear. As you can see the rest of the Carina body is really well detailed, and the skin tones are lovely, this being the nougat.I could have spent a lot more at all three stores, and I do hope that both creators get to making me more temptations. Such a fantastic load of talent on one beautiful sim.
