Sasy Scarborough

This time Ashia was around at just the right time, she is often online in my afternoons her mornings, she gets up so early to bring you the delights of her blogging and incredibly beautiful photography at her site Inventory Episode.  So this time I asked first, what colour? and she replied with ‘Red of course’ so I asked what kind, cherry/tomatoe or blood, which was reacted to with a resounding blood, also of course…mind you I was wondering if perchance she was feeling vintagey and her reply was she is waiting for Vintage Fair for that – when it happens you will get all your info at Pale Girl Productions.

So the joy of this letters and colour thing just got so much more exciting for me, the unknown, the way things can come together and be years apart in creation, just so wonderful to me that I amped it up by adding a fourth letter. Again there are other lettered stores in my post, but to incorporate that way is too cool and it really made me reach into different areas.

Letters are K, N, J and S and I started with the K, getting all excited about Katat0nik as I really looked forward to seeing what I could utilise there, and also got excited remembering some great system layer stuff that can be used in the future when baked on mesh is live. This adorable capelet was my discovery and while Katat0nik was doing her own variations of mesh sizing back at the start the options fit with my Slink Hourglass body, I am wearing what was named ‘Divine’ as an option.

At first, I was thinking to wear dress slacks, but then this gown by Just Because worked a treat, them being the perfect J store. I had tried a few of their gowns, as they do spectacular formal work, but something just wasn’t right and then venom called to me and bam and wowza it was a winner. Something about the capelet feeling very victorian and the gown so evil and delicious it was like becoming a kind of villianess character from those times, or an evil alien Queen from some B-Grade 60’s cult classic film. Whatever way it works.

The hair is a new release from Exile and he always does such a perfect updo, and this one, the elegance of the bun, the low sit of it at the nape of the neck but still very structured also lent to the timeline, while it could be seen as conservative in some looks or severe in others, it still comes off incredibly feminine and I needed that severity.

Once you have a snake wrapped around your torso, you cannot help but think of all things garden like, so these cage horns with roses and this gag were just needed to bring it all home. The gag was an intended search in my inventory because many moons ago I did another post called Ballgowns and Ballgags, and well you know why not revisit a theme – I cannot believe it has been 8 years since I did that.

My S choice and one that really made me go seeking outside the norm for me was with Slack Girl cosmetics. I actually have a lot of makeup appliers and the like, but often stick with what is included with the skin, or just go natural. So this was a chance to really seek more than that and it was also just perfection the eyeshadow has this swirly coiled like finish around the catliner in colours that I was able to tint to a deeper red, to go perfectly with my look and lashes that are just different enough to be fun. The N is N-Core and even if you cannot see my shoes, I always credit them, even if hidden under clothing, because it is about providing info on things I think would work well with that look, or just providing info to a great shoestore. I did want you to see the shoes though, so that is them there off to the side. One fell over, I think it is drunk.

When I was relatively new to the internet, and chatrooms etc, one of the funnest things to do was search for Generators, there seemed then to be Generators for so many weird things, and add on 15 years and they abound. So when I logged on yesterday and Ashia was not around yet to hassle, I remembered this and searched Random Letter Generator. This is the one that I found HERE, and it was simple and to the point, I wanted 3 letters, and one set of them, I could have put in 7 and had my week sorted, but lets just go with 1.

There are all sorts of tools like this on the vast expanse of web we have, and it is funny how useful and often used they become.  So the letters I got this time around were E, P and I, Ashia logged in not long after and was feeling the yellow, and as I am often feeling yellow, this worked out great.  For the E I went with Everglow poses, they have packed up their inworld location recently-ish, and you will only find them on Marketplace.

I had not yet worn this dress by Pixicat that was a past Gacha item, and while I am not as into blogging gacha that often, it was such a perfect style for the look. I enjoy a good gacha just like everyone, but when blogging it is a bit more difficult to feature a clothing item in a particular colour that is not going to be something someone can just get, without taking a gamble.

Fashion blogging as I have said in the past though, is not always about a complete look, it should be a visual idea that someone can either replicate by shopping or finding pieces that are similar enough to be inspired by. It also means that you can look at the look someone else creates and build on it, or be reminded that you also have a top or bottom similar etc. You must always add you, that is what makes a look a look, your own stamp on it.

Ok so back to the clothing and shoes, the shoes while not in my letters brought the whole look together, they are by Breathe, and come in such a lovely soft yellow as an option. The crossing straps follow the movement that the dress has with the lacing, so it all becomes cohesive, the light parts to the dress are also very similar in tone to the shoes colour and so it all marries really well.

I like the idea that top to toes I am a mix of straps and laces and it all just seems really together. The dress having a sari like influence then lead me to the latest n21 release by Yummy of these divine festival rings. Not only rings but also hand attachments, that are made to work with the Dynamic hands by Slink, there is also a Maitreya version to buy.

You can change the metal and the stone colours, and have the option to hide and show different parts of the rings, but in this pic, I wanted them to have all their glory. Speaking of glory, this hair, my goodness. It is from Iconic my last letter, and it is just brilliant. It even comes with a styling HUD that gives you options for behind one shoulder and strands across neck and well you will just have to see when you try it yourself. It is a fantastic mix of longest hair and braids, and made me giggle imagining the poor hairdresser having to stand at least a metre back from my chair as she got to the ends. I could not even imagine the level of exhaustion this must take, I would make the client lay on the floor, seems that would make more sense.

Ongoing mission of getting back in touch with my inventory…I asked Ashia, three letters and a colour, F, R, S she said and Black…I laughed and then said COLOUR! so then I got Blue. It was so simple, three stores starting with those letters and a colour. The hair was a no brainer, Red Mint! and as soon as I put it on and the HUD was clicked trying to move it out of the way I was suddenly blue haired, yay for non rezzing random clicks that are on your side.

This hair was a few years ago release for RM and it still rocks in terms of style and options, the band is so perfect and has colours to choose from, there is also a locks hud that lets you change some of the pre-selected strands of the hair to a different colour. I kept to the blue, adding a different shade, so not really noticeable but enough to be cooler.

In Australia it is funny because if you were called bluey as a nickname it is because you have red hair not blue hair, but you know, got to mix things up a bit. Now funnily enough I had just been in IM with Toast Bard of Fashionably Dead fame prior to asking for letters, so when F was one of them that made that simple. I have been loving the creations coming out of that store for many years, and this top while not blue – I do have it in blue also – was the perfect break up to the blue I was in need of. The grey is perfect and the style of tunic top is gorgeous, with just that right amount of side boob one needs in a look like this.

Again a perfect item that fit over another perfect item, the leggings I mentioned in a previous post that I got with that tied waist sweater. These leggings are so cute, and sporty, there is even an option for a stripe down the side for a more athletic look if wanted. I chose the solids and the blue was perfect. That just left my S which even though I wear Slink all the live long day, with my body, hands and feet, I really liked the casual not casual look of my clothing and with the whole bluey thing in my mind, the Aussie thongs by Slink were just too great not to wear. Thong worship is actually harder than you may think, I was for many years not a wearer, I did not wear them growing up, because my non Aussie Mum thought that they were ridiculous and so bad for my feet.

So when I did finally try and get my thongs on, they hurt like hell, oh the pain, oh the inability to walk backwards, oh the tripping over as the rubber folds under your feet. These are real Aussie problems. Eventually though you build up resistance, or perhaps calluses in between your big and second toe, but I finally was able to wear them, and funnily enough my faves are also blue, blue hibiscus on darker blue.

This darling bag is by Baiastice, not one of my letters, but definitely adorable and so needed, because I need somewhere to stash my band-aids in case the pain comes back, or I fall over and end up with a bloody knee – more Aussie Girl problems, or maybe I am just clumsy, Mel says I need to walk around with tissue boxes on my feet to protect myself.

I am on an inventory rampage at the moment, the funniest or not so funniest thing happened the other day where I spent over an hour moving some loose items into proper archived sections of my inventory and the next day, they were loose again, they had completely jumped back out, and it was only the one store that did so, the other thousands of items stayed in their new locations.

I mentioned the other day the old is new to someone stuff, and I am feeling that right now, that need to explore my own purchases, my own items sent to me etc. I also think as a blogger it is just as important to send people to stores to look further than NEW, because some people only know of stores through events, and never actually visit their mains, I am guilty of this myself, not realising that for a long time the only purchasing made of a brand was out of their final destination.

I like mainstores, I like seeing how people put their stores together, whether they decorate with seasons in mind, if they share their own shopping experiences through the decor they use, just their personalities shining a bit more so than they can do with a booth. I also look at mainstores the same as I do flickr accounts of store owners, it is a quick way to work out what you have, what it is called and whether or not you have it in green.

I mention green because how cute are these jeans with this great sweater around waist attachment, not sold together at all, just two different creators and years apart, but working so well together I could not resist. The sweater is actually part of a fitness set, that has the sexiest leggings, and they are great and I will share those soon, but I love that this came with, did not even realise when I purchased so it was like a double win. It is nice to get suprises like that, or maybe I should pay more attention, but I was buying leggings, I just got the cool tied sweater too.

I mentioned the other day that I was so going to be wearing the sleeves options of the Inna shirt by Tee*fy more than just with the top, and sure enough I was so excited that once I put on this older Tres Blah item (Standard Sizing) that the sleeves fit under the mid length sleeves of the sweatshirt perfectly. Now be aware there is some mesh on mesh clipping if you fold your arms, but that is to be expected, and I am loving the options so much, that I honestly do not care, and could find an ao amongst my millions to work in a way that made that less of a thing.

I love this sweatshirt, it is older so standard sizing only , but it fit my Hourglass body by Slink perfectly as needed and there are demos so you can try whatever you wear and find the right size, with the alpha options, you only need to worry about the hemline and your thighs the rest can be hidden.

I am really into revisiting older clothing at the moment, too much now now new new for me, and it just doesn’t lend itself to really styling if I am just constantly wearing the latest item, and not trying to mix and match them with other things. Plus my tagline was always and still is, everything old is new to someone, so this dress may be the kind of thing someone has been looking for. It also fit superbly over mesh leggings I was wearing earlier, but took them off when I went and got these great new boots by Livalle.

The boots are at this Birthday round of Fameshed and they come with bunny ears at the top of them that can be turned off if bunnies are not your thing. I got the fatpack so turned off the ears part and mixed up the colour options so that I could coordinate with my clothing, I tend to do that.

Also older I went over to Tram the other day as mentioned and not only grabbed some newness, but revisited some older styles that I had in single colour packs, that were on special as fatpacks for the price of singles, so grabbed them as this style especially is a favourite and now I have all the colours.

Whimsy and Ashia and I went to Tentacio the other day also, we were on a whirlwind tour, and there were also some older items that I did not already own, I always type in the store name of my inventory search field, then the + plus symbol and the name of the item I am looking at, in case I already own it, always the best thing to do at stores you frequent a lot and definitely at hair stores.

This bag is from there and how adorable is it, can imagine if someone tried to mug me they would end up leaking for a few months at least.

The other day I wanted to see some of Second Life and literally opened the map, zoomed out and then clicked, taking Ashia with me. First click lead to nowhere, the second click landed us at a very old layed out sim, but then on jumping sim to sim we landed at Lake Templeton. This is a homestead and just beautiful, layed out like a sailing and fishing community and you can actually rent the huts. The decor, landscaping and everything is top notch and just so enjoyable. We then found that next door was even more glorious as it was a country town, church, petrol station and some farms, just beautiful.

I went back the next day and took some pictures with my little Jian puppy companion. I put together my very sunshine inspired look with the help of these stunning shorts by Baiastice, that have these gorgeous gold texture as one of the bonus colours. The belt and studs also have texture change options, and the fit and shape of them are just superb.

Pairing them with this awesome top by Tee*fy that had me so so excited because the sleeves are actually a separate attachment, I will be wearing them with so many things. This also means that if you have more than one colour you can mix and match, so perfect.

Then with the addition of these great booties by Mutresse the options to texture change accordingly with the gold and white them, I was perfectly covered. How cute are these boots, seriously.

I went to Tram and did some catching up hair shopping, you know when you have missed a few releases, go to grab them then find that there are at least 5 other styles you need at the same time… I love that, but I also imagine the owners of the store love the catching up shoppers too.

So moral of the story, open the map and click, you will wind up having an adventure and that will just give your fashion some time out in the open that it deserves.

I have been popping back and forth to the For Stephanie Fun Fundraiser over the past few days, picking up bits and pieces, and bidding on an Auction piece. I got this very pretty girly dress, and the colour choice is great with the navy and the grey. I wanted to make it a little downplay on the cocktail look of it, and go more for a wear it when I want to vibe with these so cute shoes by sYs. Today is the last full day of Shoetopia so make sure you run over and do another run through to grab what you haven’t already.

The shoes have lots of options to change various parts, and my favourite part is the chain anklet like part that just is there and way cool, and a little punky. So with that in mind I stretched my arm into my inventory and stretched back out again with these great new Stretched ears by Mandala.

These are too cool, and have so many options I was changing HUD panels and getting more and more excited on every click. There are not only three types of ears, human, pixie and elf, but also various sizes of stretch, which can be plugged or tunnels. Then you have the tattoo tips and on the inner part of the ear, which I have turned off but the tips look so cool with the different styles. Then you have about a billion textures to choose from with the plugs, the tunnels and the metals of the piercings, you can also hide or show all attributes, and have materials options for everything, so I have materials on for the piercings and wow they shine so beautifully.

Now I am not a plugs stretched ear kind of girl, lets be honest…but I have always loved Mandala ears, and these just take what we already love to another level. I do admit also that the longer I had them on, and the way they were so easy to skin match to, I was falling deeper and deeper into them, so may just be stretched for a bit.

Speaking of Skins, Lumae has just released the Elvi skin, and while it is not promoted as LeLutka applier based, it has Omega and the fit is superb. I really like the look of the skin, and I am wearing the Izzie’s brows still because I just like them loads too. They actually fit over the top of Lumae’s brows perfectly without any need for no brows options, but there is that too, as well as many colour choices. Lumae has always been a store that provides all you can need, and if you do wear other heads than the ones this says it is for, and you have Omega give it a try, it is great.

Another item I got from For Stephanie Fundraiser is this Conservatory build, so nice and with some cheeky pea pieces it made such a great outdoor cafe style space. The white things in the ground with the plants are actually walls that I sunk down, so versatile, and the Umbrellas are clickable to be folded closed or open and shielding you from the sun…you need those so much got to keep the harmful rays at bay.

More more more more more…that is what I was singing all day today, because these shoes are delightful, they were a definite must have at this round of Shoetopia. They are by Rebel Hope and they have different options in the HUDs when wearing the fatpacks. Such sturdy strappy platforms, that can see you into all the summer styles coming to the grid.

This beautiful gypsy top by Addams is a collaboration piece with Blueberry, that is stunning and so versatile. The colours just pop and the lace and overall detailing make for a very feminine look. I paired it up with a Coco skirt that is at this round of Fameshed. The asymmetrical skirt is actually black but comes up with some bluish to it especially when worn with blue.

I am a brows girl, I love that we have the option to change ours very easily thanks to the options that are out there. Izzie’s just released 5 new brow styles for LeLutka heads, at this round of Uber, and I love them all, not only do they look divine with this Daphne skin that is also Izzie’s but they fit over another skin I have without needing to change to a no brow skin at all. So if you have any that you have been unable to swap with, maybe check these as an option, or just because they are great, because that works too.

Cheeky Pea is always creating some lovely sets at different events, and I usually love combining different parts of one with others, but now she went as far as to also create an essentials set, which comprises of some curtains, bookcases and shelves, which is just wonderful when you need to just add a little something. I used the curtains over these large doors of the build and it completely changed the look. Then adding some of the recent Cheeky Pea release with this awesome nautical inspired pieces, I think as a Pisces this would be my RL at every opportunity.

Speaking of Cheeky Pea there is a Fun Fundraiser called For Stephanie that is taking place this weekend,  and the items will all donate to help Isla’s Sister in her time of need. For more information on that, and I also have some Flair Nails there if you want to check them out, you can tp HERE or see info HERE

The necklace I am wearing is the match to the earrings that I featured a few weeks back, I love the detailing on these sets, so luxurious.

I did not realise until I was done with the pic and laying it all out, that I did an almost identical colour palette to the prior post, and have been really feeling my safari colours it seems.

Cureless has released this lovely crop top for the Slink Petites Augment wearers with their Slink Physique bodies. It fits both bodies and Petites options and comes in a wide range of colours and either cotton or vinyl options. Other than the amazing style of the top, and the awesome materials that just made me really get into the fabric options, it is also mod, allowing me to tint the beige option just a tinge more to warm it up towards the colour of my boots.

Because the top has some great under-bust, I went with a Pink Fuel skin because her body appliers have a smaller breast option for less shading, which looks so much more natural with the Slink Petites – they also come with matching skins to the bodies huds with less shading. In keeping with the Pink Fuel I actually opted for one of their Omega applier based skins which Ashia likes wearing, and looks great on Bianca a LeLutka head I do not wear often, she has so much conviction and character I have to make sure that my overall look carries that home, and today it definitely did.

Speaking of carries, how cute is my bag, it includes all the things I need for a shopping expedition, and then some, also it goes wonderfully well with my boots that are at Shoetopia, and the same creator of the bag and my skirt…all Ison and all gorgeous. I actually had a bag like this in the 90’s but black and clear, I once got stopped by Security and asked to check my bag, I stood there looking at them a bit dumbfounded then said ‘ you can look THROUGH my bag’ and walked out – I have always been Sassy – honestly why ask to look into a bag that you can see into without asking.

These ankle boots are awesome, they not only have a great style to them, they are for mid height feet – I was actually really impressed with a lot of Mid height feet styles at this round of Shoetopia, or in my case Deluxe feet that has them all in one – then the open sections of the boots revealing some skin, sexy right.

I kept on with the metal options of the buckles and bag clasps into some really chunky silver jewellery by Mandala, and then with the perfect hairstyle by Tableau Vivant that has options for where you want to wear your hair, being able to let it fall behind the shoulders just showcases the top and the necklace perfectly.

I was really into the fun of taking these pics today, so much so that I made the placement background from scratch just because I was all in. I made the cork the board, the pins and the swatches, I am so chuffed right now, as sometimes it is not just using Photoshop for photo-editing that you should play around with, but really playing with all the features, little by little things come together.

A bit like items in Second Life, Why don’t people just click every button? or try on every item etc in something they purchase that may be a bit more feature driven than something like putting on a shirt. One of the things that made Second Life grow in the first place was creative curiosity. I had a friend who if we were standing still for any amount of time, and he could rez, would start manipulating prims to such a degree that he made jewellery that was so minute and detailed and not once did he use an alpha cheat trick or anything else to get the items as small as they could go. Hair creators were often people that edited their hair so often to make it fit, or reshape it across a shoulder, or just wanted to look a little different than their friends, then went on to create from scratch – mind you this was when things were made in world. It is like me learning software when managing stores in RL, I would just sit and click and sub-menu click and so on until I found things that would never be so visible normally. Only one time did I have to call IT after of course switching it off and on again.

So other than all the lovely floral parts of my post, it is about taking the time to sit down somewhere nice in SL, and cam on yourself or the items and try the huds, each section click away, if smoke starts wafting in then stop, and unpack another. We live in the day of copy and unpacking and redelivery, so if it is copy, and you can unpack another, or just make a copy first if you are worried, get to know those things you liked enough to purchase, see what you can do with it and really get your enjoyment out of it and appreciate also the effort that goes in to making all those things happen.

Breathe has made some divine footwear,  not only for Shoetopia which are the middle and right shoes, but also Fameshed that are the ones on the left that look like kitten whiskers 🙂 so cute. I was also on a mission the other day for a tutu and came across this older dress by Amiable, now often with the fast pace of SL and bodies etc, I don’t get time to go back and revisit older clothing that was prior to fitted and this came up the other day and I was like so excited, as there was no possible reason I cannot wear this dress, I only had to alpha out my upper chest.

I hope you like all the lovely spring looks for the day, the weather is still so incredibly warm down here that it feels right for once all over the world, but then in the US it is snowing in some places, so go figure.
