    Hair Fair 2014 – OhMai

    OhMai 1

    OhMai 2

    OhMai 3

    If you are in need of some loving companions then you have to visit the OhMai booth at Hair Fair 2014. Anya has done it again, making her releases at this event some of the most beautiful hairstyles, not only because the hair and the styles themselves are lovely, but because they have an original concept with the birds that fly around them, tugging on loose tendrils or perching atop a hat or a nest.

    These are a collection, not just hair to be worn to create a look, but a true marvel and insight into the wonderful mind of Anya. Each style has colour change birds, as well as colour change accessories – clips, ties, hat etc – and the styles vary within each one, whether worn with birds or without.

    I really enjoyed the subtlty of colour in this post as well, a continuation of blues and beige/sand like colours. From the base of Safari chic items from this months collabor88, to the brand new brand Thalia Heckroth, that did a wonderful mini film of Hair Fair on early access day. She has opened her brand Thalia Heckroth and the items are just lovely. The clothing is fitted mesh and a few items didn’t fit over my mesh body, but I am definitely going to give them a whirl without soon and show you more. This lovely frock I am wearing in the subtle soft blue and sand is so pretty and perfect with this hat hair.

    The safar blouse and shorts are gorgeous and fit perfectly with my body, they are tres blah perfection, and the necklace and earrings in both pictures are more of the divine release by Maxi Gossamer, seriously if you miss out on getting these at c88 you will kick yourself, but then even when they get to the store at full price, they are worth paying much more for.

    Lastly the dress by Emery is a perfect look for just about any daytime endeavour, casual but smart, and depending on what you wear it with, it could even go into an evening jaunt through the jungle with a Tarzan or two.

    Hair Fair 2014 – Emo-tions

    Emo-tions @ Hair Fair 2014

    It is that time of the year again HAIR FAIR! Such an exciting time for us that are part of the event, and I just love how such an amazing event can do so much for Wigs for Kids. I did a big post over on the Hair Fair blog with some info on all the things going on over there, you can read it HERE.

    The first post I am doing is to feature the styles by EMO-tions. Not only is the hair itself just beautiful it is the accesories that are either part of the style in one version, or add on attachments in the other two. These are just incredible. The attachments in the first two left and middle are the ones that mean you can wear either the hair on its own, or the attachments with other styles, and the style on the right is all in one, with beading across the chains in back that are just amazing modeling work. It is not only the modeling of these that is great, but the texture work is amazing, in the right windlight and with advanced lighting on, it is breathtaking work. The metal and beading accents also have texture change options, as does the hair in either solids or fades.

    If you have been living under a rock, which is what I kind of feel like for the past few weeks getting Hair Fair up and running with Mel and Whimsy…you will be excited to hear that Slink has released their NEW Mesh body called Physique. If you haven’t been under a rock you probably already own it. The exciting part about it, is not only does it work with appliers created for it, but also so much of my mesh clothing already fits it.

    Older items such as the dress by Tee*fy, the beautiful top by Maitreya and the NEW C88 release by Celoe that I have actually been wearing all week – shhhhh don’t tell, I changed colours at least – the style of dress is based on the Safari Chic theme of the event and this is by all means Chic. I was actually wearing this dress with horns for a few days already, and loved the contrast. So when I saw the Emo-tions horned Love War hair it was a perfect match.

    The appliers are a lot of fun too. I am wearing a beautiful lace off shoulder crop top that is a lot more baring than I wear on my blog, but on sight I knew I would find lovely ways to wear it. Under the Mignon top I am wearing  a full lingerie set, that was a little more revealing than I expected, but it is so well made and when I put on the top over it, I just loved the little flippy look the top made, revealing the suspenders.

    The Slink Physique body is fitted mesh and adapts to your own shape, there is a great alpha hud that lets you chop out parts you need to, but most of what I am wearing I didn’t need to turn on alpha much at all. The body also comes with an applier for SIX full skins, and I mean full, because not only does it cover your body and hands and feet if you have them – and why wouldn’t you – but it also applies to your Visage head if you have one, so this is me fully covered head to toe in mesh, but one click done, and I just love this skin on it. Make sure if you haven’t tried it yet you do, it is really a great item to wear and as a person who takes pics, wow it saves time.

    Today is the last day of Fashion For Life, and Cajsa and her team have done an incredible job, the builds, the stores and just the overall wellbeing. It has been a great group of chatters in there, so nice and excited leading up to and during the event, lovely to see. You can visit my store, and SySy’s who is on the same sim, as well as all the great stores surrounding us.

    I went shopping at TLC the other day, Whimsy and I were in heaven, Bali heaven. She bought a resort, and I made myself a cozy little escape on our studio roof. I love this furniture by Junk, it is fantastic, the colours, the style, and that its mod, just made me so happy. The candle is smaller when purchased, but with some modification it became beautiful oversized lanterns. Also seeing as I rezzed three benches and the throw and cushion are not texture change, I was able to select face and tint those manually, to give them a little less samey samey look.

    Summerfest is coming soon, and I am excited, as last years was amazing. The glasses I am wearing are part of the coming soon items, from Faenzo, and they are just beautiful modeling and texture work. They have also done a fantastic looking bag that is also a must have.

    The bikini I am wearing is from C88 and by Baiastice, she does some wonderful swimwear, at this event and past events…so if you are looking for great mesh swimwear, start there.

    Lastly my hair, now this hair actually comes with hair base tattoos, and they are great, but because I am wearing a mesh head I could not wear the ones that come with, but luckily the skin I have on right now has a hairbase option that worked perfectly with this kickbottom style from Tableau Vivant. I used to wear my hair slicked back and tied off like this a lot, and prance around like a pony in RL, well ok I didn’t prance, but I do love this look and with a hair base and the viking theme of The Fantasy Collective that just started today, it is ALL WIN…and rawr comes in a Mens version too, so get in on that, because YUMMY.

    Bubbles One, Two, Three

    Chemistry

    I don’t have feet on, it is kind of bizarre. I also had to actually look for alphas and work that all out, seeing as my head alpha has feet and hands included, so I had to find the head with hands option only. I did all this of course while standing in the middle of an event, bald and having fun with SySy.

    I had to take her over to Kustom9 as she wanted those adorable Mexican dresses from my post the other day. I wanted to go back and get the boots I had ummed and ahhh’d over and then couldn’t get out of my head, by Bleich. They are very cool, and I love the look of a real frock dress and then workers boots and pretty socks…what is not to love.

    The dress is actually by the same creator as the others, I went over to their store and fell in love with it. It is sold separately, but it was a fatpack must. Hud driven and 7 colours to choose from, one is even pure white, which is all win. The detailing again is perfect, and the fact that it buttons up the back with real buttons had me at Hello.

    The other thing to have me at Hello, is this hair by Chemistry, the hair that just keeps on giving. I had seen it on someone else earlier in the week, and made Whimsy remind me we had to go get it. This was a strange thing though, the store we tp’d into was tiny, and in the sky, with hair posters that did not look like vendors at all. There were also two people in there, and honestly I felt like we had tpd into someones house by accident. We left, relooked up the creator, and sure enough it was the correct place.

    The vendors which just looked like pictures of pretty girls on a wall, were not buyable, and it was only by knowing that hand icon means scripted, did I actually left click on one. Then out of nowhere two tabs up top and three HUDs of different haircolours appeared…that’s right that is all hidden unless activated, which to me may mean a hell of a lot of lost sales, because there is no signs to explain this to anyone, so if you have ever been and thought they were not for sale, go back :).

    Now the hair I was looking for, was actually not one of the styles for sale in the store, it was an older style, as it did not have the same hud options, but I did buy a few in the store and then the others off Marketplace. The style does keep giving though, as it has not one, but three bangs styles. The original in the pic on the right, then two add on attachments for the middle and left looks. Fantastic value, and so much fun to wear. I even wore the bangs with another style of hair, and even though they clipped a little at the sides, honestly you would have to really look to realise it wasn’t created that way.

    I am wearing a puca shell necklace I picked up from Renegade when visiting their little store on the Kustom9 sim. It is always important to buy things in Satelite stores, I know we all tend to discover a store, and then TP to the mainstore so that you can see the whole collection, but without purchases in the actual satelites, the owners of them don’t know it is through them that they are making the customers.

    I have had a few of these necklaces over the years, they are kind of a right of passage Down Under. Once you hit 13 or so they are a full time wear, then other bits and pieces replace them, but I loved mine so much, and I still have a white one, around here somewhere, my original was coral coloured more than white.

    Down Mexico Way

    Nine

    Whimsy and I shopped up a storm yesterday. One event we hit hard was Kustom9, us and 71 other people, it was packed to the rafters, but well worth the visit. It has been a long while since I have done a three me post. I decided that with this dress from Mikunch at K9 it was a must. The dress is available in different versions, but each version comes with a texture change hud of four types/colours. I got the two on the left and I have dresses for all of summer now. This dress is my dream dress. Not only does it have the beautiful Mexican embroidery and detailing, but also has an option for petticoat trim on the bottom as an added attachment, so you get 8 dresses for the price of one, and honestly at the price it is, it is not even one IMO it is so inexpensive.

    The red shoes I am wearing, are also options driven, you get three different base options, the colour, wood or black, and then also different texture change toggles for the laces, so gold, silver or black. The cut out chevron look is fantastic, really having a focus on the cut outs makes it even more intricate, because a lot of math would be involved in making that work, so well done.

    The other great footwear is at another event, a bi-weekly event at Suicide Dollz. The Severity treaded platforms are by Lindsey Warwick. They are a great platform style, and the treaded base makes them wonderful for long time wear and tear. I love shoes that make me want to stomp around, so ladylike.

    Little Bones has some lovely hair at Kustom9 as well as one I picked up at another event along the way. I really love how her hud is created too, it is very cute, and the attention that designers put into their huds is really lovely. One day when I have time, I will have to redo mine…get more creative with them, it is nice to stretch the photoshop skills occasionally.
