    I would rather be

    I would rather be

    Fashionably Dead than Fashionably Late. The other day I was checking on some slurls for my post on Tres Blah and realised that I have not been to Lulu sim in a long time. I wanted to see if they had done any landscaping projects, because Lulu used to be a much visited sim by many for their outdoors. It is still lovely over there but I realised that I could not walk from store to store, as the paths do not lead that way, once you go out and over the bridge you have to go back in from store to store, tricky, but thank goodness for flying.

    I flew over to Fashionably Dead and picked up some group gifts, then some jeans, then some, well room to room got my attention, each item complimented other items, and actually fit eachother even if not made for the same time. I am not sure that is definitely the case for everything, but everything I got did so, and I got pretty much something from everywhere.

    The boyfriend jeans are perfect for people that are not low slung hip hugging wearers, the boyfriend look is still very cool for just spending the day out and about. The top is so pretty, and because of its satiny goodness, it can be casual dressy or dressy dressy, which is marvelous. For a day out and about and with bared shoulders, I went with this oversized sun hat by Baiastice, that includes a bandana only option, and I am a fan of bandanas as you know.

    The casual dressy worked out well with the margot slippers by Slink where you can turn on or off the straps, and also have the deluxe feet option of all heights, so you can be on pointe or kitten, mid, high and flat. I love these as a quick pretty shoe, and kept them throughout the post.

    Then moving into these resort pants, I was feeling the blush pink, and the top is a top from a spring shorts set, but as a top is great too. I added the choker part of the one shoulder top by Coco that is at this months Fameshed, I knew I would get great use from the choker aspect of it.

    Lastly the top was a gift at FD, and as I mentioned it fit perfectly with the skirt that was actually made to fit over a henley style bodysuit, but I wanted to see what I could do with it even further, so the top, then the addition of some highwasted pants by Muka perfectly fitting underneath. I am using those sleeve add ons by Tee*fy again, I love them, and they come in handy so much to round out and change a look.

    The styles of hair are by Exile, and I was feeling their brunette to blonde mixes today, which paired with the Alessa skin by League, just makes me feel all rawr and ready to take on the day/night.

    Dotty for you

    Dotty for You

    I promised more of these stunning knickers by Adam n Eve featured at this years Vintage Fair that is now open to the public. These are the second option of the Gacha prizes available, the polka dot versions come in ten colours and the rare is all colours.

    If you had been anywhere near me last night, you would have blocked your ears to stop them bleeding as the screams of joy from my platform were piercing. Not only do I love the polka dot version of these pants all by themselves, but to find that the Hope Kimono by Tres Blah fit over them as though made for eachother had me incredibly excited. Not a smidge of clipping anywhere, I am even right now as I write this dancing in a stunning build by Bryn Oh which is an instalation of single scene poems she has created, it is raining and I am dancing and I am enjoying it a lot.

    So as mentioned yesterday, you can get the floral or the polka dot knickers as a gacha item, and then add the solids by purchasing them with the matching bustiers, or just grab the solids in the colours/fatpack you like. They even come with petites options included.

    I love this look, as it is the weekend and the idea of just spending time in the home, enjoying the space, being comfortable and very girly, and it gave me another reason to show off the bedding by Cheeky Pea.

    This hair by Exile has the shorter bangs that give a very Betty Page look to the style, and that right there is all the vintage look love. Slipping into some flat mules by G Field with their pretty little bows across the foot, everything is perfect. I hope your day is.

    Flower Bed

    Flower Bed

    Vintage Fair 2018 by Pale Girl Productions opens today at NOON SLT. That gives you enough time to peruse all the available options you have to see in advance the amazing creations this two simmed event has for you to delight in. All items are themed pre 1980’s so for all you vintage fans, this is your event.

    Culprit has done a lovely job on the builds and everything available is of fantastic quality and so many different types of stores that you will need to visit a few times over the coming weeks.

    Adam n Eve has released their first mesh items for this event, with two dresses and the amazing French Knickers shown. However the Flower version is a Gacha item, as well as a gorgeous Polka Dot pair, both come in 10 colours and if you win the rare you get the fatpack of all.  The even better news is that there is also a solid set, with a matching bustier that you can purchase, so you can either just go for the top and bottom set in solids, or combine gacha knickers with solids and so on, this way getting a lot more variation.

    For this first picture – and I do plan to do more, maybe even in this post, because I am just typing at the moment so anything could happen – I am wearing the floral knickers in pink,  but opted to wear them with this furry boa by Kaithleens that was from an event last year. These thigh high stockings by Luxuria are lovely, and with the perfect vintage seams. I did tint them slightly from the Slink Body Utilities HUD so that they came in closer to the pink in the knickers.

    To show such great lingerie looks, a bed is often the definite go to, but this bed is above and beyond, not only is it so pretty, but with the flower detailing it was a match made in my bedroom. The bed actually comes in PG or Adult options, and when you sit on it the covers are removed so you are left with the sheets, but as I wanted you to see how beautiful the bedding was, I used my VR Studio pose stand to pose on top.

    Laying down is often difficult with different pieces and items not exactly laying flat, but this hair by Exile just pulled everything together beautifully in that regard, it is the perfect style for action looking pics, turbulent weather and all that, or some dancing etc, but for laying down and the lovely waves it suited what I wanted to a tee. Bringing all the pinks together, I opted for some of the makeup from the recent launch of the LookBook HUD that I posted a week ago. This set is by Alaska Metropolitan and her make up is always so luxurious.

    Safari so good

    It's a Jungle out there

    Being a kid of the 70’s Safari stuff was all the rage, for men and women. I have mentioned in the past that my Mum had a few of the jumpsuits, and most of the men I knew and even some boys my age had little safari suits or the safari shirts. The look is timeless, it comes around every once in a while, and each take on the look gets more inviting, and this dress by Vinyl is inviting in a whole range of ways.

    Firstly the belt is texture change and even the belt style is right on the money. Those belts were so good at staying fixed that you often had to wrestle with them to get them to let you free again. The buttons, the creases and the pockets all fantastic, even the unbuttoned look works great. Personally, as I have said in the past on numerous occasions the shading nipple look is not my personal taste, because they often are not strong enough to give that much detail to the kind of fabric used, but also it makes me personally self-conscious to be high beaming all over the place. However this dress is not overly shaded, it is a little more – you are not wearing a bra – than anything, so it works. I do wish stores would give us the option of yes or no, but again that is me.

    I also got to wear this great hairstyle I grabbed at Shiny Shabby the other day that comes down enough at the front so that again it subdues the look. With the military safari combination look, these boots came out great, with the ability to change the slip cover portion to the similar colour as the dress, and the heels part similar to the belt. They are going to protect my ankles from any nasty critter bites I may need to avoid in the jungle.

    The jeep is a full perms by Meli Imako, I threw the texture in PS to make the colour work, it was neon green to start with, it is often fun for props and the like for pictures to just grab some full perms and make it how you need it.

    Happy Anniversary Tempura Island

    Happy Anniversary Tempura Island

    This year marks the 10th Anniversary of Tempura Island, a beautiful sim that is so graciously supported by the Mandala team of Kikunosuke, Chikae and Polly. Many years have passed and many times I have visited the island to just enjoy the gift that it really is as a location for any and all to enjoy. There is the beautiful formal setting for dancing or just enjoying time with friends or loved ones, then there are the outdoor areas that are either lovely to just relax in, or to take up a poseball and get your Tai Chi on.

    I was honoured to be asked to write up something for their website commemorating this decade milestone and you will find my best wishes as well as many who have also delighted in this wonderful sim. I wish everyone a very happy 10th Anniversary and hope that it reminds everyone to take some really important time to explore this great world we have here, and be proud that we are part of such a fantastic community each and every day.

    NEW! LookBook SL – May Edition

    Look Book SL - May Edition

    The excitement is real people, the ability to make a cuppa, get comfy on the sofa and slowly go through some great makeup options is coming to you live on the 27th May. Now I personally see people often asking after makeup appliers, where can I find this or that, and people throw some names at them and off they run. But this new LOOKBOOK HUD system is going to save you a lot of TPing around, and give you the things you may have not known you were ever in need of until you see them there live and lovely.

    On the 27th of May as in very very soon, you can get this HUD for FREE! from either the Marketplace store or locations at various stores around the grid. The heads catered to in the HUD are LeLutka and Catwa primarily, but you will also find that some of the creators have included Omega, other heads and even System layers for people that do not wear mesh heads, or for the upcoming baked on mesh.

    Once you first wear the HUD you can choose to search using the option at the top of the HUD and input the name of the store you know is participating, or if you are unsure, you can type a store you like and see if they are participating. The other great thing about something like this is that you can be introduced to a brand you may never have found tping around the grid, and now you have them on your radar to visit their store when you are finished lounging at home shopping from the HUD.

    Ok so again you wear the HUD, you find an item you have interest in, and you click the DEMO to try, it will send you a demo immediately and then you can buy from either the brand button for the head you wear, or the main picture which means you get all the options available. When you first select an item it will ask you to grant it permissions to accept payment from you. If you try and buy something you have already purchased it will just send it again, this HUD will be something you can go back to over the month if you do not buy it all in one go.

    The HUD has options for lipsticks, eyeshadows, eyes, lashes and some very cute highlights for the face. Something for many of your makeup needs. I tried on many items from many great creators and put together some collages of the looks on my wonderful new Faith skin by Glam Affair that is at Kustom9.  I am also rocking out another great top for the Slink Petite Augments, and rocking is right, rocking and rolling.

    A S H I A those are the letters of today!

    A S H I A are the letters today

    So this time I got a little nostalgic, as well as thankful for the great friends I have, one of whom is Ashia Tomsen and her input of letters and colours in the last few weeks for my posts. It reminded me that years ago Dove Swanson of Long Awkward Pose did a few sets of poses named after some friends of hers, I was honored to be one of them, and most of the people I also knew, so decided to turn it into a post where I used the pose and then dressed as the person, my own take on their style etc. The post is HERE and some of the names will be familiar to you still today.

    So with that being a thing I do, even years later, today’s letters are based on Ashia’s name, and the look that to me represents her style and fun. It was also a way to show that even though on my feet, she wears shoes very rarely, but if she is wearing shoes, they are usually something as incredible as these by Azoury, and she is a huge fan of Azoury so it was perfect. The outfit is all the things, some punk for the UK and her colours red and black, also she does like to show her bottom off – dodges the smack she just sent me telepathically.

    She loves her ink, and while not a huge tattoo wearer, for me Izzie’s is the perfect mix of delicate when it comes to tattoo adornments. Ears, well she has probably every type of ear style that is available in Second Life, and I know she is a big fan of Swallow. These elf ears are so cute, the chainwork and detailing are really lovely. I did find it a bit fiddly with skin matching at first, their texture options are very high quality, so it sometimes does not translate when skins are a bit more matte. But I got there eventually and only had to do a tiny blend for my picture just because.

    The hair was also an easy reach, being an A name just happened to be convenient but Adoness is a much-beloved stylist for shaved looking side styles or just your roar kind of look. I am not using a shaved base in this pic though, using the default hairbase in the LeLutka head hud because it has very similar highlights as the black hair textures on the Adoness hair, so it is very nice together.

    So be like me, and be a huge fan of Ashia Tomsen

    Eire on the side of Caution

    Eire on the side of caution

    Ashia killed my inventory, she chose the letter Q and apparently I have no Q stores in my inventory at all, it finally happened, we found the literal missing link. Well no wearable Q’s anyway, I had some paths full perm from something or other, but that doesn’t count. However, as it is my blog and my rules, there is nothing saying that the Q cannot be name of creator and of course the most famous Q I know is Queue Marlowe who at one time many moons ago arrived in SL and literally broke the internet with her swinging ponytails back in the days long before mesh and even sculpts. First time I met her face to face she was a mermaid, and many moons later I see her on rollerskates, still not sure how she managed that transition. Queue is, of course, the creator behind the amazing hair store Analog Dog, and my letters today are Q, Z, J and M. So my hair starts with a Z so that makes it all the better.

    Also making the style better is the option to wear with or without bangs, and once I selected this stunner hairbase by Just Magnetized it just enhanced the style so much. First of all, with the LeLutka head HUD I was able to tint the hairbase layer, which is worn on the tattoo layer, as it uses the SL UV. The second important thing is that due to alpha sorting issues, with hairbases and alpha in hair when near the scalp, I went into edit on the hair strands affected and on the textures tab changed the alpha mode to NONE. You want to be able to do this to the particular strand and face that is alpha, not the whole hair or you lose a lot of detail. I did a post on this kind of thing in the past HERE.  In my main post, I turned the strands 100 transparent, because depending on the style you may need to do that too. But with the comments, you will see the suggestion on None which works in cases better when hair is over the top of itself, as you do not see that it has had alpha removed. So whatever works for you, it does help to not have holes in your hairbase or hairline.

    The colour theme was GREEN today and did you see those letters, Ashia was being cheeky. I wanted to show this stunner of a dress by Mutresse, and this colour green is just divine, so much so that even my little Jian puppy has the same green in her bow wardrobe, so it must be a winner when such a stylish little pup has it too. With all the delights that come from Mutresse, you have the options to change the colours on each individual part of the dress, giving me the ability to break it up with some beautiful nude/beige to correspond perfectly with my shoes by Pure Poison.

    The other favourite feature of the dress is the exposed neckline without showing anything at all, and yet really highlighting the perfection of the correct skin options when wearing such a neckline. We are lucky that many skinners give options for the breast shading on their skins, and yet often I see people using the pushup overly enhanced options when wearing clothing that could not possibly have that much support. For a more realistic look such as this dress offers no cleavage option is the skin type you want to wear.

    These sandals/boots were part of a Mod theme in the past, and yet because of the ability to colour change the different parts of the shoes, I can bring them all to one texture option and they look sensational with this dress. Then as all good things end with a Z, you know the alphabet and my post, Zaara immediately comes to mind, by store and by name of course. This jewellery set is divine, as are all the ones she has done over the years, and I wish she would do more and more. Her textures are always perfectly gorgeous and her combinations of the right colour balances just really enhanced this whole look.

    Biker Baby Coral

    Biker Baby Coral

    Pink she says, but what kind of pink, that is the question. The letters were DRLB so it was an instant stretch and bend and grab ROWNE. That settled that as soon as I saw this jersey skirts options included this gorgeous Coral Pink. Coral has its moments, and when using a flattish kind of fabric, does not always have the right kind of impact, but this is not flat, it is grab a hold of you awesome. The meshwork on this skirt is fantastic, and the texturing just levels it up. I knew instantly based on the colour and the finish which shoes would give me the exact match and I was correct. The Garbaggio shoes I got at the recent Shoetopia come with about a zillion colours and I did try and wear as many as I could in one day.

    They are very now but with such a nod to vintage that they just get me. Other coral delights are in the form of this bustier by Narcisse, it has inlaid lace in black, so marrying that with this shoulder jacket by Blueberry was painless. The fit over is perfection, and I just adore the combination.

    I put on this hair by Runaway and I went to Ashia’s IM declaring that someone was possessing my inventory, because there was no chance I owned this hair for three years and it has not appeared on my head in pictures, she, of course, reminded me that that is very much me, because when we tend to hair shop we often leave with many many styles or wear one and then buy another and wear that and then end up buying five more and yeah, you can see how one can slip past. I once left a store with 13 styles in one go and it wasn’t even a sale.

    This style is adorable and when I did that back shot I wanted so badly to just grab some scissors and chop off the length and have a stunning concave bob HOW AWESOME would that be…just look at the profile of this style, I may need to camp out at Runaway and demand a Nicki v3.

    The accessories really complimented the whole biker baby look, with the necklace from Lagyo being all leather and screw goodness, and then this spiked headband by Remarkable Oblivion that is just epic, and perfectly works with this style of hair.

    It’s a Wrap

    It's a Wrap

    Today was brought to you by the colour Purple – had to happen because my friends are evil – and the letters L V B W. Ok not really today it was more like two days ago, but sheesh doesn’t time fly.

    I snickered at these letters a little because honestly it just kept me as I was for the most part, but I removed and reapplied myself. So worth it too, because honestly, this top and bottom combination needs to be a thing, like for real the merging of the new skirt by Blueberry with the older top by Coco made a hybrid formal affair like look that I would wear to death. I was itching to make the skirt also black but I held sort of true to the colour given which was purple, and anyone reading me forever knows that purple and I are not fulltime friends, though never misunderstand me, it is not all purples it is one particular purple, but as much as I loathe it for really stupid personal reasons, it just taints the rest into an I do not like purple feeling. Also, anyone reading me over time would have heard all this before so I will move on.

    The skirt is a must-have item by Blueberry, not only does it look this gorgeous this way, it has print options and also silver belt adornments that make you want to ROCK THE KASBAH! It is gypsy love right there, but I tamed down, and I do so love when creators have an idea in mind but give us the latitude to really incorporate our own mindset into a garment, so it has belted options on or off, and panties built in that can turn off or on depending on if you have your own you would prefer to wear.

    This purple is a purple yes for me, and it is so light and muted in such an elegant way,  then with the addition of the black wrap crop top the sash tie at the front cascading down really looked at home with the incredibly high thigh split in the skirt, made for each other they are.

    The purple did not end there, and because of the style of the skirt thigh highs such as these delights by Breathe were a must. I love the detail on the fabric of these wrap shoes, so realistic and perfect choice in structurally sound material for the style. The tie at the top was perfect to balance with the tie on the top, all things in harmony.

    Now do not be mad, but the really cool harness type necklace thing I have on is no longer available, it seems Wimey never listed it on their Marketplace and are not around anymore, I did a quick search as to when last in world. So too long to suggest IMing her and asking her to add it. But as I have said in the past, seeing it may make you either remember you also purchased it when it was around, or that you have other pieces or can find other pieces that will look equally amazing, or even just being bare will work too, but I was going for my W so yeah that happened. It is not something I aim to do ever, so I do apologise, but it can happen that items we have get discontinued or the creator decides to only feature it at an event etc.

    This hair was a remembering hair too, I had forgotten that this hair comes in two parts, it was designed to be a shaven sides style, but the additional part of hair was also included so that you had full coverage, this is a win for people that will back and forth, but also just a really sexy style by Lamb.

    I love this look, and I often really like building a hybrid look for formal occasions, because they definitely have you standing out from a crowd and also much less chance of someone turning up in the same dress. The addition of the gloves was not only awesome, because they are appliers by Luxuria as part of one of her great lingerie sets, but it reminded me that my favourite gloves of all time were created by the same creator years back and came in varying lengths and wow when baked on mesh comes back you really may just hate me then, because I will not be able to resist and may just have to beg Roslyn to bring them back to life.
