blog – Tiffany isn’t just a lamp
There used to be a cafe, somewhere in Australia called Freckles. Above the counter was a sign that stated “A face without freckles, is like a sky without stars”. The idea being of course, that the light natural smattering of freckles adds a beauty and charm to a face, and without them, something is amiss.
Being one who has freckles, I kind of like that sentiment, I am however not a huge fan of make up and freckles, being that I would make sure to wear foundation to cover them, if I was in fact going all out to look all sultry and smoldering. Thank goodness in most cases we have options, to have or not to have.
The NEW released in the past hour, Estelle skins by LeLutka are a tad different. In the fact that they do have a freckle or two or three etc, but in such a way as to define and add that lovely beauty mark look to the face…I am totally bewitched by them.
The bodies of the skins are gorgeous, the same divine hip shading and detailing as the Eclat. But it is definitely the faces that give them so much charm. You get the light and dark hair base options, as well as light and dark brows, and because Minnu likes to think past her own self, she has given each hair colour their own uniqueness.
Having to cater to her own group of adoring females, she has made sure that each of them, even if wearing the same skins, will in fact have that little embellishment of the brows to call their own. I love it, and for me it is definitely what makes LeLutka what it is.
In my own group of friends we often have the same skins, same time…and with different shapes and bald bases etc, it will definitely go a little further to make us individuals. As you can see in the face shots, nothing changed accept the skin, and yet I look different, I love it.
Moving on to the clothing, Baiastice has recently released some divine dresses. Often RL art inspires SL fashion, and in this case it is the Art Nouveau Tiffany lamp that has inspired this very retro release. The long and short versions of the Tiffany Dress are equally divine. I do wish though that the sleeves from each came in both, as I love both options, but each dress has it’s own version.
The real attention to detail, and what made the short stand out for me, was not only the incredible flared bell sleeves, but the open front and back collar, with it’s deep dip. Not even wanting to wear hair that may take away from it, I chose to use the skin hair base option.
Versatility is key with Baiastice, and the ability to wear the items different ways, just allows your money to go further, such as being able to wear the shorter option as a romper as well, HOT HOT HOT and very Disco Diva.
Audrey, which of course makes us think of the must have little black dress, is the name of one of the other items in this release by Baiastice. Again the ability to wear it many ways, this dress is just beautiful, fitted in all the right places, with added flair if you so desire, or a tamer option when needed.
Moving on with these party dresses, to the perfect Dancing Shoes. These are Zara by Kitties Lair, and are one of my MUST HAVES from the Footwear Expo 2009. Not only are they gorgeous Tfront dance style shoes, but they are a set of two that are the charity shoes for the fair. The hud was painless, I had them matched to my skin in seconds, and there are save presets to make it easier.
I am really in awe of how far Kitties Lair has come with her shoes range, I have some fast favourites in my shoes folder from her store from way back, but these, and the other recent releases have definitely tipped the scales for me. Make sure you do not miss out on this set, there are of course other colours available, and they do have other bells and whistles like changing the heels colour etc…but the expo charity set is a MUST MUST MUST.

Faith – Tuli, TRUTH, Dernier Cri, Studio Sidhe, Kitties Lair
Through the whole time I was taking these pics, of course all I could hear inside of my head was George Michael strumming a guitar.
Those of you that are part of the Tuli group, know that recently Tuli suffered a loss in her family, during this time Tuli named the skin she was working on Faith, in honor of her Aunt that she loved dearly. A few weeks ago she shared a sneak peak of Faith with her group, and they adored it, and I am very glad also sent her the warmest of wishes in that time.
Then Tuli came to The Deck , and before her main release of the Faith skin she created an Exclusive Faith make up that is only available at the Tuli @ The Deck location, and again her group and loyal skin wearing fans came in droves. Then yesterday she surprised everyone yet again with a fantastic Gift Exclusive. The giving nature of Tuli is known by all of her group, and those fortunate to know her ♥, we are blessed.
The release was going to be Sunday, but so excited was she, that she couldn’t resist releasing earlier than planned and again her Group of admiring fans and friends went wild, so today you too can join in and find the Faith love.
Wanting to show the skin in as much of its glory as I dare, I went in search of some Tuli smalls, there are in fact none to be found, but I heard a rumor that that may just change shortly :P. So wracking my brain I suddenly had a burst of evil genius and love all rolled into one.
You see the day that Tuli came to The Deck I was running around in some cut offs, and Kit, Camilla and Tuli were teasing me, saying such things like they couldn’t concentrate with my bottom hanging out, well I showed them 😛 .
The shorts I am wearing are from Kitties Lair and the best way to show as much as I dare , or in this case deriare , was to wear the Santa Monica Torn Hotpants, these actually come in five options this of course being the most baring :P, Tuli loves these shorts, so I had to combine lol.
As you can see the body work on the Faith skins is just superb, the smooth and silky complexion runs from head to toe. I am a bit in lust with the backs of the legs, which as we all spend so much time looking at our backs is an important area, to me the back of a skin needs to be as visually stimulating as the front, and this one is that and more.
You can rest assured though that as much as you will enjoy the back, others will admire your front. The body is fit and fabulous without being overly toned. Then we move up to the face, that is just glorious. The Faith make ups range from the natural and classics, to the daring and captivating. Some of the make up definitely has an 80’s retro kind of feel without being too blue eyeshadowy…more of a coloured liner look which I love.
So many beautiful choices that you must DEMO DEMO DEMO. TRUTH recently as I have mentioned made some new hair, as he has been doing this every week lately my to blog folder is a mix of the last few releases, this being the Angelina that I find just lovely as an all day into the night style. As usual the style fits to perfection for me, and the colours are so rich with this latest texture release that you end up wanting to try different ones each time depending on style, or maybe thats just me.
The bikini top I am wearing is from Dernier Cri, the Shiny Silver Bikini has been a favourite since the store first came to the grid. A few finishing touches, one being the Essentia Burgundy Hair Rose, the other being the beautiful Elven Anklet by Studio Sidhe.
This anklet was created to be worn with prim feet, but I chucked a big tanty and proved that it could be worn and would be worn with or without, always a fan of anklets RL and always really surprised that there aren’t more of them in Second Life, these make me happy .
While I was at Tuli grabbing bits and pieces that I didn’t get time to show, I couldn’t resist her pose stands, so the poses used in todays post are also from Tuli.
