    Eyes on You

    Eyes on You

    I went to Uber the other night, got in first try (YAY PREMIUM) stood in the new layout and rolled my eyes upwards to my linden balance…oh goodness you are going to be used tonight. What a theme, what an event, what a hell of a lot of items now grace my inventory.

    I took a break at one point to TP Ashia Tomsen of Inventory Episode over as she had already been but missed some much needed (we believe fully in peer pressure shopping in our group) items. All in all I was there an hour and a half, and got home and collapsed. Then Ashia said I could now unpack what I bought…I am still laughing.

    Make up by Veechi is so perfect for giving that wide eyed Twiggy look, the hair by Tram is just divine, and the top I am wearing by Vinyl is the most adorable cropped collar top. Because fashion has a twenty year turn around, the 60’s came calling when I was in my teens in the 80’s a gorgeous mix of punk and mod prevailed and it was really visible in the rude girls of the time. This skirt by Tres Blah comes in some great colours for purchase as singles, but there are other options in the fatpack of which I had to get.

    Then the boots, so adorable, so cute, so shagadelic. All parts of them change colour with the great HUD and so many options to create your own fun looks. I loved this theme, I think that it needs to be the theme for the rest of the year forever and always.

    Saluti The Trunk Show

    Many stores have been around for a long time in Second Life, and one of the ones that stands out in a crowd for me at events with a more Adult theme is Dictatorshop. They have been a foundation in the Adult community for over a decade now and while they do still have a firm hold on the Adult and D/s market, they also make incredible pieces that can be incorporated into your home and not always with an Adult leaning. We are able to in some pieces purchase PG versions of their work and when their work is this good, it is definitely worth a visit to their store.

    I truly fell for the Chesterfield sets, as in RL to have such decadence in the home is a big deal, like sharing a few special craftsman with the Queen kind of big deal. The set comes in different colour leathers and the option to change the metal of the buttons, and it is just so divine. The stool is awesome as well, the handles on the sides to pull it into place and all those rivets along the base, I love this to pieces. There is also a sofa and amazing bench and chair. If you are looking for the perfect pieces for your Den or Library in your Manor home these are the bliss you have been searching for.

    I went to the very beautiful event The Trunk Show the other day, and was running around from room to room feeling delightfully girly. The build is just lovely, and the items from all the creators really give you a great sense of the Wedding type theme. However do not think that if you are not getting married you should not attend, because there are great items to use in all sorts of ways.

    Pairing the Dakota Lace Bustier by Narcisse with this form hugging skirt by Just Because. With it I have a formal look that can be worn outside of a Bridal party, or depending on the colour chosen and the kind of lower half, you can really create some unique looks. The jewellery is so special also, delicate pieces and the hairsticks worked out perfectly for this lovely updo by Exile. The hair actually also has a floral attachment, but as it is a separate piece that makes it a great hair foundation for different accessories you may choose.

    Make sure you visit The Trunk Show and find some lovely pieces to fill our your wardrobe for either your own special day, or a friends, or just to amp up your formal style, because to have one location share on that dressier theme is a nice way to spend your afternoon.

    I was having a great time coming up with an idea on how to really highlight these great new shoes by Mutresse. They are beautifully adorned with metal embellishments that have the option of metal colours to choose from, as well as the individual parts of the shoes, so you can mix or keep to one colour, it is up to you.

    I found the right post, and the right angle, and then realised that someone else could possibly be enjoying the look of them too, but maybe secretly. Bringing over this lovely tea-house and then filling it with some delightful pieces by Cheeky Pea it became the perfect space for a peeper to get his shoe fetish on.

    The Icon lingerie by Blueberry has the perfect colour option to match to the one chosen in the shoes, and is lacy enough without being revealing and oh so sexy. There is a matching clutch to the shoes, and just the right size to keep some essentials close at hand.

    My favourite thing for the layout was the outdoor pergola by Cheeky Pea that I rezzed inside the Tea-house, then adding some beautiful pieces from some recent and past releases. It worked out like some of those bungalow type locations in beautiful destinations in old films.

    I am also wearing the gorgeous new skin by YS&YS that I wore the other day, but ended up covering up with Geisha makeup. So pretty with many options of brows, no brows, subtle eye-shadows and lipsticks. It is at the current round of The Chapter Four.

    The hair I am wearing is a new release by Phoenix Hair. The braided top pulled back and then let loose to frame the face is just gorgeous. I am wearing it with a great hairbase by Just Magnetized and they work really well together. You really do need a hairbase with this style, though because of alpha stuff it is great that this hair is not only good looking but mod, sometimes the alpha in hair can cause an issue with a hairbase, but if you do as I did – Go into edit on the hair, choose edit linked parts, select the strands with alpha, and then go to the alpha blending mode in the texture tab and change the blending mode, you can also make the individual strands vanish entirely if that works for you too.

    So a big yay for keeping hair mod, and a big yay for this really beautiful style hair!

    Entice Me

    Entice Me

    The past few days I kept thinking about the stunning Bento (non Bento versions also included) Icon Angel Wings by Blueberry. I thought of all these really cool ideas, about how I could make them look transparent with Photoshop and have it seem like people are Angels amongst us…that I could have semi transparent people with wings holding the hand of a child walking down a path, you know how your mind can go off in so many directions, but you may not be able to give it all as much justice as you want to.

    Then along came the Keely harness by Narcisse for this next Bound Box about to hit the grid, and all the purity went flying out the window. Or off a cloud, or rolled down some really long stairs, you know how it is. Now of course because this leathery delight is all baring, I had to go my usual Sasy Modesty route and find what would work under it – I am responsible for some hilarious cover ups over the years, and then also some bizarrely inspired add ons, but I digress.

    I grabbed a hold of Ashia, who came on a run around with me before dinner, and while I did not find what I wanted I did end up hitting up Sn@tch’s appliers wall with gusto, you blink and that brand just adds a whole new wall of delights to catch up on.

    I logged back in and found what I needed on Marketplace, ever notice the wheels on your shopping cart in Marketplace never stray off in another direction but still end up costing you more than you intended to spend. I do try more often to visit the actual stores if there is one, as I like to immerse in the shopping experience, but sometimes you are on a posestand and just need a quick stretch and click and done.

    I got the perfect full body latex catsuit, that has all layers as options, and with the great mesh work on the harness, the fit was great. You have to often be careful with appliers layers not always fitting perfectly under mesh especially with the chest area, as the layers go up you have the applier brought away from the body, so if you don’t have an underwear or tattoo option you may end up with clipping. But there was the perfect amount of give with the Keely harness and I was well on my way.

    I had the wings, oh so incredible, they are luxurious and the movement is amazing. The texture options are divine, there are just so many reasons to get them, especially considering that for many of us after 5 or so years in SL we stop flying, we need to embrace the flight people.

    I really wanted something to bring this all together, and this headdress by Death Row Designs worked and so much so that the hair by Phoenix worn under it seemed made for the look. The options in this great hair have a few different bangs types, one of which is a braid along the hairline that just nestles perfectly with the barbed wire and all the other parts of the headdress. I wanted something makeup wise that would also make you stop and look and this Geisha Classic tattoo layer applier for the LeLutka head is just perfect. This is the full coverage with the white powder effect, there are also only lipstick, only eyeshadow and both combined as options, so definitely great value, there is also a goth version you can purchase, but I wanted to get some colour in there.

    You need to make sure you get your Bound Box subscription in before the price goes up once delivery starts, because this harness alone is a great item to have, the leather work is amazing and the colour options will have you wanting more.

    Fetish Fair Fun

    Fetish Fair 2018//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

    SL Bloggerati was invited to Early Access at Fetish Fair that is now open and a GLORIOUS event. I had to go twice just to be sure I did not miss something, and will definitely go back before it is over. A truly great coming together of some Fetish inspired items, some a bit lighter, and some great Adult only type items. There is something for most everyone. I got covered from head to toes and back again, so if you are looking to up the yowza on your wardrobe definitely attend.

    Wonderful accessories to get your mitts on, and I saw a lot of things that catered to both genders, so that is all win for the guys. Hair a plenty, clothing as miniscule and as all encompasing as it can be. The bodysuit with legging boots was a must have, it comes with many options of reveiling and more covered up, as shown. The legging boots are standalone, so you can just wear the bodysuit or just wear the pants. The colours were too awesome to choose from so ALL ended up in my inventory. The bare arms worked out great, as that gave me the chance to wear my new Starlet Bento gloves by Maddict.

    I saw today that it is Mina’s Birthday – Happy Birthday Mina! and she has asked all to like her Facebook page in preparation for some kind of surprise, but I think you should do that anyway, as her hairstyles are divine, and you want to keep track of what is going on, if you have a FB account. The three styles shown are from different events, but all definitely worth the TP’s. The shorter style is two tone, as in split down the middle left and right, but you can do the same colour on both sides as I have, the options are yours. The braided style is a stunner and has options of tendrils with a styling option on the HUD, and the fuller style has options of left and right parting with breast sizing to cater to different bodies.

    This middle dress was a drop jaw on the floor for me thing. Firstly not see are some incredibly tiny panties with chain straps that fits gloriously under the dress. You can change the chain metals as you can on the shoulder straps of the dress, then you have a harness you can also wear under the dress, or with just the panties. Then the options of colours, latex or matte, but the specials if you fatpack – so had to fatpack – are glomesh and the materials are just WOWZA. This dress will have all the boys in the yard wanting to know where they can get it for their partners :).

    Make sure you visit the event, the layout is wonderful and I just loved that it is a huge F sim shape.

    With the Band

    With the Band

    I have a friend in me, well two actually. So the other day we went shopping, how unusual right. Ashia of Inventory Episode and Whimsy Winx of Virtually Dressed, we were tping all over with our SL Bloggerati tags on. So we went to Kustom9 and Ashia starts foaming at the mouth, calling me over when I was so not done with that side of the room yet, so she had to wait. She is at the SAGA booth and I am all like MEOW how cool and she is all like PANTS…so I see what she is seeing, and honestly, E-Clipse might just need to send over a bottle of Champers and some BonBons to Christel Morane. So doing some sleuthing, and all my sleuthing skills have grown over the years by the tutelage of Whimsy, the girl is an internet Bloodhound. I found out where the pants were from because the lovely Christel actually put the info on her ads Flickr page information, YAY Christel! and ok not so much sleuthing really.

    I continued to have Ashia wait though, finished the walls, and then we went to Saga first, because that is how you say thank you for wearing pretty pants in your ads for other things, you shop first at the shower of the goodies, also her goodies were awesome as well. So I tpd over and hot damn, seriously her build and store layout is top notch, the girl has some mad skills. then went shopping, to the left, to the right of the left, to the middle, and to the right, then the left of the right and back to the middle, did I get everything I wanted, I think so.

    Then it was off to the PANTS! But we did not plan for the whole store to be jam-packed full of tantalizing delights, you see I see them at events, and I have purchased at events, but like all event releases, sometimes you miss some, and sometimes you just do not see what gets released at their stores, that is why we try to stop shop often. However, it had been a while, and honestly while I did try and search my inventory to see what I already had, I gave up on that as it was just costing me time, and I had shopping to do, so while Ashia was running ahead (again) and Whimsy was just all over the place, the girl loves to weave shop, drives me bonkers. I started on the left and went up and down each aisle and that store does not fatpack, so I literally had pain in my right hand once I was done, from all the clicking.

    Now the pants are the middle ones, and while I did also get the black, the sand was just delightful and well I would feel bad if I wore the black before Ashia. Plus with the combo of this incredible hat, and these awesome sandals beaded feet attachments thingies, both by Saga I was really feeling my urban bohemian mix, and then it just turned into this kind of music festival, live gig look of girls, with different kind of music tastes, which was really fun to do. Also the great choker, no seriously just go buy it all. The hat has a resize option and so I was able to fit it over this beautiful hair by Exile, and that of course lead to more beautiful hairs by Exile. Mixing the cropped hoodie top by Blueberry into the fold and an applier top…now interestingly the strings on the top clipped the applier, because I am wearing it on the clothing layer so it is worn away from the cleavage, so I did have to alter the join of my cleavage to be closer together so the strings would right themselves, so if you ever do have things like that happen, play with the join or the gravity of your breast shapes, it really helps.

    For my spacey look, the pants and the boots are so funky, and the amazing thing is that all the trim work is actual mesh, not just texture on there, that was amazing to see as it rezzed in. I teamed it up with this fabulous top that is actually a bra top from the recent Lingerie release by Vinyl but definitely needed to get some outy attention, not just inny, with of course the Meow collar that started the whole shopping extravaganza. Lastly, this shirt, come on how can you resist it, it is plaid, it is oversized, it is tuxedo tails styled, and the collar is up, I am way too cool. It was paired up with jeans at the store, but these shorts I definitely wanted to give a run, and the belt on them is just perfect. Speaking of belts, we lack those in SL now, just thought I would put that out there.

    The other day SL Bloggerati was fortunate to get some Shiny Shabby access, and it is a great thing for Bloggers to do a practice run of events, it gives us a chance to shop quickly, but also let people know if things seem strange, prices, vendors not working, items not in the correct bags etc…it has always been that way for us, to make sure we let people know if something is up, a good team effort between Bloggers and Designers and Event Coordinators, so if you ever do get early access to an event, make sure you pay attention to those kinds of things and let the right people know as soon as you can. The layout now is so spacious and easy to maneuver, I like the wide aisles and I really like the huge box booth styles, it just makes it easier to shop, and much easier to set up for stores I am sure.

    Shiny Shabby January 2018

    Minimal has some great Gachas at the event, and I got this great countertop cafe booth, and it was perfect for this pic, because these days it is not an event without food trucks and pop up cafes all over the place. My only mention about the Gachas and it did not bother me too much because I use my VR Studio HUD and Library and Posestand for everything I do, would not function without them, but the backdrops are no MOD, and while that is ok with things that are actually behind you, having stools in them or any seating kind of look it would be cool if they were mod to be able to either add poses to them, or even shift them around the space, I understand gacha means no copy, but some of us are ok with the risk, and the no gacha ones at another event are also no mod.

    I did a lot of shopping at Shiny Shabby also and will definitely show more from there in the next posts.

    Slip it on

    Slip it on

    This dress is so much of everything to me right now. It needed no alpha use at all, it fit snug in the right places and loose where it needed to be, and falls beautifully about the body. The texture is lovely, giving it a sheen when it needs it, and a more casual look if that is your approach. I went with three looks for the dress, a night time date look, a daytime casual playful look and an up market ladies who lunch, and shop, and lead by example look.

    The dress is by NYU and it was worn with a sweater under in an ad, so there is even more versatility right there. I was really feeling the hair by #Foxy today, and went through some of the styles I grabbed late last year, one of which I have featured in the past behind the shoulders, but this time went with the one side forward look, and it really is a charming hairstyle.

    The shoes really enhanced the looks also. The Ballet slippers by Slink are actually updated to be Deluxe compatible if you ever purchased the Margot shoes in the past, go redeliver. You can wear them with any height feet you own, even if single feet types, but for the Deluxe it is great as you have all five looks. You can also turn off the ribbons and make them more casual, but I was feeling my Girly Girl with the pink, so left them on.

    The other shoes are by Breathe. The middle Katashi shoes are so attractive, with the wooden heels, and the ability to change the front straps from the upper, I went with all one colour for this look though, but you can change them. The Miyako heels are seriously fierce footwear. The strapping has colour change options, and they have a really cool military vibe to them, making the fluffy vest and slip dress just a great contrast.

    I invited a little play date along for the post. The golden Pomeranian by Half Deer is at this round of Epiphany, he is just too cute, and obviously the kind of pet that suits my outfit.

    The other day the awesome Peep Sideshow of Pics by Peep and I had a chatter about some new pants she had. She can tell you all about what went down on her blog HERE. She is always such a joy to read, and her fun and style all make for a great blog post. She has actually joined us in the NEW Bloggers Group SL Bloggerati. Which has so far been joined by so much talent that I am excited to see it grow. If you are a Blogger, Blogger Manager or an Event Organiser, I encourage you to join us. Info HERE.

    I have not done a 3’fer post for such a long time, I used to do them often, and then shadows came around and it all just changed. I miss it, I missed showing more range of an item – in this case, these great boots by Breathe. I missed showing how you can get the most out of looks, so tonight in less time than my usual posts I got it going on, and seriously the shorts and boots just made it so much fun.

    It ended up a great mix of Collabor88 and Epiphany which just opened tonight, and the pickings are beautiful. Three times in a row I got a rare on my third pull, that must have been where the 3’fer came from. I really love this great posture collar, and the so adorable fluffy boa by Kaithleens she always makes such lovely pieces. The shorts by Miss Chelsea actually come with the panties with black or white or hide show options, and they pulled the whole white and army green combination together. Then the Bloomers by Schadenfreude just made me so happy joy joy.

    The middle look was worn for a few days because of the Pic for Peep, and I kept making sure I had it all worked out so that I could credit it here and there. It is a lovely blend of feminine with the blouse by Mimikri and these adorable shorts by The Secret Store, with their frayed ends and lace trim, so pretty.

    The hair by Exile motivated me to punk out with my bloomers, and using the Rerouting option on my LeLutka head, I wore a lipstick on the lipstick layer, then tinted it with the head hud, then added the DOLL option of the lip tints by Pink Fuel that do a smaller pout application to the middle of the lips, on the tattoo layer, creating a great lip liner look. So cool, so punky. I am also in love with this great turtleneck by Ison, it is from Uber, and honestly while I was freezing in an Aussie Winter months ago, I was pining for this look, and now it is a must for sure.

    I had a lot of fun, being a stalker of Peep, and I had much fun with my 3’fer, things are looking all sorts of exciting for 2018.

    Softly

    Softly

    A night out, where anything is possible, is what this outfit brings to mind. The very textural look of the softer than soft sweater over the sequin pants and pretty bow heels. Beautiful pieces from all over the grid.

    The sweater is by Cynful and also comes with floral embelishments that you can hide or show, that come with a great HUD that also includes gems and pearls in the centre of the flowers. I opted for no flowers with the look. The pants by Mimikri are stunning, they come in great colour options, and they make you want to get up and take to the dance floor, or dancing atop a table is not ruled out.

    Someone may have to help me up and down in these heels though, as demure as they look from the front, the heels have some great height, for grabbing attention. The whole look is great, because it can start off as a first Date look that can either go on into the early hours as long as it is going well, or you can just ditch them for your friends at your favourite haunt – not like that has never happened.

    Venetian Flora

    Venetian Flora

    First of all todays lesson learned. I was using the wonderful Venetian Blinds projector lights by VR Studio for my picture, and I realised in time that the shadows where not appearing on my legs. I attributed it to the fact that they were appliers but was unsure what was going on there. So I spoke to the VR Studio creator and they explained that the lighting was conflicting with the alpha in the appliers, so to fix it I needed to use the MASK option on my Slink Body. I went to the layers tab clicked on the clothing button and checked the masking box. I had to tweak the slider and bam SHADOWS ARE GO!

    Now my other ‘pay attention to me’ moment is about my sleeve puffs. They are actually from an older – no longer available – jacket by Celoe. They slipped perfectly over this beautiful Blazer jacket by Pixicat that is at this round of Collabor88. The blazer also has the lovely lace inner trim giving you an all in one and ready to go look. I did wish that the lace had an off/on option, but by adding the sleeve puffs I was able to create my own look with it.

    The hair is also a C88 item by #Foxy. Because of the marvelous styling HUD you get the option of hair behind shoulders and even shoulder tendrils off, giving you a perfectly clean sweep for clothing. I love these added details. The hair also comes with hair tattoos that are also an option to show or hide, meaning the hair is very versatile.

    The boots are by Utopia Designs, and yet again they came through with the options as well as the incredible materials options you get, as the jacket had a sheen to it that I was able to follow through with in the boots leather…just perfect. I feel like this is the perfect outfit to wear to a night-time polo match, it has a hint of equestrian and a dash of sophistication all combined into one hot look, if I do say so myself. So explore your older inventory items and piece together your style.
