    Sock it to me – Miel, Gala, TRUTH, DarkMouse, Bliensent + Maitai

    It started with a glimpse at Cajsa’s blog post at  It’s Only Fashion, that then ended up me unable to get over to the store. Then on the weekend Arabella came to visit us at The Deck and she was wearing a delightful dress/pants combo that was just too pretty to ignore.
    On tping I was to find that it was the same store I had been meaning to visit, and Newdoll and I bought up most of the store. Since then Miel has joined us at The Deck for a spell, and now everyone is hooked. So much to our delight tonight they released their New Sock Factory items which allowed me to quickly add new pics to the already planned post, and tada this is what you get.

    The Miel items are the perfect combination of staples,whether you opt for wearing the items as compiled on the vendor boards, or change it up a bit with other pieces, you will have way too much fun with the pieces.

    The first pic I am wearing the Bo Lace top, this top actually has a lace collar, but I went without because I just love the wavey finish at the top hidden underneath. The tank style top comes at the moment in black and brown, and the back is incredibly detailed. Wearing some shorts from Twosome that I have had for ages and not yet shown, they are the Autumn shorts in grey and very cute.

    Needing a little something around the hips, I went with the Efemera belt – wishes she would come back – by Storin, a lovely sculpted belt with a great buckle. The socks, oh the socks… I have decided I am going to rename this kind of sock to a Socking, it is too thick to be a this day and age stocking , but too high to be a sock. These definitely remind me of partially rolled down woolen stockings of the start of last century, and earlier lol.

    The Lo Socks are to die for, and they did at the time only come in the black and the brown, and then later that night Miel gifted to myself, Newdoll and Ashia the New Plaid in black, oooooo we were an excited bunch, so much so we struck a pose in our newness and Newdoll took a pic and put it here.

    Anywho, the socks are lovingly slipped into the 3 way Engineer boots by J’s these come with scripted options of up down, and different colours to choose from, its like a fat pack in one. Wanting to add a little more girly girl to the look, I couldn’t go past the beautiful and delicate Burst of Colour Necklace in Copper from DarkMouse, the jewelry and now hair from this store has just blown me away with each new release.

    The  Red Queen/rQ Crush hair is a semi latest release in the wonderful New build, the detailing amongst the twisted locks of this style is fabulous, make sure you try on all the demos, they are so much fun.

    The next pic is the dress/pants combo that drew us in. The SF outfit by Miel is so adorable, with the  softest looking fabric tightly stretched across the bodice of the dress, you could be in for some trouble if one of those straps tore. The tunic is just lovely and what better addition to the mix than a pocket with flowers, and I don’t mean embroidered or printed on the fabric, but actual flowers inside of it, it is so dreamy a look, but you do have the option without.

    The drawstring leggings come with and the whole combo is perfect for a spring stroll in the sun. More beauties from Dark Mouse in the form of the Flowers are Blooming Necklace and Earrings, so delicate and beautifully crafted. Aradia is a hairstyle by TRUTH , a lovely loose pony tail that actually features a flower, that you can make invisible or colour change, I am wearing the Plum Hair Rose by Essentia. Sorry to say I couldn’t find any info on the bag other than Kotoricco Basket , and it was a gift, but you can see that any basket or bag would look fun with this outfit.

    Speaking of bags, I got overly excited to find that June had made new Bellissima bags for BareRose, only reason I saw them was she set them out at The Deck, otherwise I would have missed the release somehow. These are fabulous, they come in a range of colours and you actually get 4 different ones in the pack, different places to hold them from as well as a bonus clutch purse, all for less than 200L.

    The top is again the Bo Lace Top from Miel, this time with the CH Silver shorts, I coudln’t resist these at Miel as they are of course Grey and well just yummy. Adding to the mix the New MI Knee High Socks , these are so cute, prim topped kneehighs that have buttons to fasten to, they come in solid or plaid as do the NEW LO socks in more colours, I mean this is just a SOCK explosion, that you will not want to miss out on.

    I love the plaid versions in both styles bunches, but seriously that ribbed waffle effect that the solids have as well, IT IS TOO HARD to not be able to wear both at once lol. I cannot wait to see more incredible designs from Miel.

    So much stunning jewelry today, the Art Deco Onyx Necklace, Belt and Earrings are from Bliensen + MaiTai, they come with some great options, not just resizing, but also gem and metal change, and not just one gem but you get to change two different sections, so you can go all one like I did, or have a mix for more playful colour combos.

    The flats are the Mina flats from TRUTH as is the Hallie hair, a ncie sideswept pony, that has a loose fit look to it also, he does that well with styles recently, that not too tight casual but classy look.

    Recently Gala Phoenix of Gala @ Curio released the April skins, a skin that was all youth and innocence, but with a slightly fanciful make up line. Blending her usual two different tones and freckles options, with two varieties of each make up, the Gala skins have fast become a must have for lots of people and rightly so.

    The full lips slightly pouted, and the button nose definitely gave a purity to the face. The make ups come with two variations of the same idea and the April Skins that were first released were a big win, especially the pure 1 and 2, as they were the two that were the most every day all wearable. But I think something happened, because April 2 came about, I suspect a much requested further line of make ups was called for, something that people had more choice in than the fantasy blends.

    Seriously though I think more than just make ups happened, because DAD’s LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS, April 2 could get you and yours arrested. DAYUM this skin is way sexy and wayyyy too pure at the same time.

    The bodies on the April skins are the same as the last few releases, incredibly detailed – and I do mean incredibly – with such a divine cleavage for those of us that don’t like to look too lifted when it’s obvious we aren’t, that is one of my favourite parts of the Gala @ Curio skins, the fact that if you are wearing a shirt or top and obviously no bra, your shading and detailing between the breasts shows that, it is wonderful.

    The make ups are wonderful as I said, and they do have such a freshness to them, so try on the whole store and find your favourites, and make sure you are wearing a low cut blouse or shirt, naked will not give you the same effect neither will a bikini, you really have to see what I am talking about clothed the right way.

    The hair I am wearing in most of the skin shots is the Angelina hair by TRUTH , this is a must have, I am so in love with how it frames the face. THe Bikini is the LeeLee bikini from Artilleri, the follow up to my all time favourite Leo Bikini, with super cute ties on the side and in more animal prints.

    Due to time I didn’t get in the second make up options in the Gala @ Curio April 2 line, so make sure you try them all on, and also really understand that the dark and light in the packs are actually a variation in skin tone, this is so that if you are feeling a bit in need of a tan you can go darker , and if you are feeling a bit chilly and want to snuggle up you can go light, this is a dreamy skin option, as many of you I am sure have actually gone out in a fit of omg Im too pale, or too tanned breakdowns and bought a whole new skin – not that thats a bad thing :P.

    Panda Love – Dutch Touch, Dark Eden, Panda Express, RQ,Magika and *JA*

    Dutch Touch Red Queen and Dark Eden

    So the other day we were sim hopping, and it’s always either myself or Fiachra that drives. Fia turned the wheel over to Meko and he came up with a doozy of a sim. I had never been to Panda Express that I know of, unless an outlet store in the past, but it was fate as they had the same builds as we had been playing with using recently.

    I have always said that one day Fiachra will be a panda, but he turned the tables on me this day, declaring that it was possibly me that wants to be one, hmmmm theres a thought, I have two panda avatars in my inventory, he may just be correct lol.

    So in love with the stores decorations, and picked up a few bits and pieces while I was there, but this is the stand out item, for me anyway. The Panda Lunchbox is all sorts of yummy, not only does it contain delish Sushi, and bamboo leaves lol, but it has a texture change drop down, with six different images, the Pink Punk Panda was my choice of today, but they are all adorable, there is even a non panda one.

    Dutch Touch has such a huge array of incredible seperates, the Lizz strapless tops are just another of the great pieces you can use to mix and match up a storm. The fabric styles that Iki of Dutch Touch uses always makes me want to do more, more, more with the pieces. This top is so adorable with its Polka Dottyness that I just wanted to fire it up, make it less adorable and more edgey, which somehow just ended up more adorable lol.

    I love the idea of dots and stripes so I added the Knit belt from Magika, a lovely hip slung belt, that sits like a scarf tied around your waist in a bow, very nice.

    Digging in my Maiiki folder I took out the shiny black leggings from the Strapless and Patent set, these leggings are fabulous,  if you have any of the Maiiki sets by Iki Ikarus and the team of Beau and Onyx at Maitreya, you really need to pull them apart and use all the pieces.

    The skin is the Onyx skin by Dutch Touch, this skin is so beautiful, I have featured it before and just love the mouth and make up on these skins. I really hope that Iki does more make ups soon on this range.

    Back to the edgey, well edgey in my head anyway, I dove headfirst into my Dark Eden folders, one in the shoes sub folder and the other in the designers sub folders. I have had Lilith sets on two different occasions and they live scattered lol. The Lilith Mega Set is the one to get, don’t get just the pieces because the price on the full set is brilliant.

    The Boots, thighstraps and armbands are all part of it, soooo easy to love everything in the set. They also come in a wide variety of the fabulous Dark Eden colours, Bloodrage is another must have in the Lilith.

    I wanted some ink and the InkD Luoyang tattoo was perfect, this tat is mostly upper chest and back featured, so across the expanse of skin above a strapless top it was perfect. comes on all layers and in sheer or opaque, the sheer being the black I have on now.

    InkD has such lovely tats, by the talented Laylah Mistral who has been doing tats in Second Life for so long now, you really need to check out her beautiful range.

    The hair is the fabulously flowy Coy from Red Queen [rQ], the hair there is definitely not tame, and so much fun to dress up an outfit with, a lot of the styles have a special edition version that has something a little different than the regular textures, so always try on both and see which you prefer.

    Everyone is GaGa mad, and I who rarely gets the chance to watch film clips etc, came in late on even knowing who she was. But I do know who Beyonce is and when gathering some music together on YouTube months and months ago I saw a film clip that blew me away, not for the music but the glasses that she was wearing. I loved these so much I begged Fiachra to make me some, and even had a go at doing them myself, I almost got there too, they are hiding in my inventory.

    But then I saw a pair on Xstreet and at the price it was much easier to just click and buy lol. So the *JA* Diva glasses can be found HERE . These are so not the way I was making them, and is way impressive, great work and super sexy.They are slightly flexy just like in the film clip and they are also mod, so you can change the colours if you want to for fun, but just tint wise, you will see why when you buy them.
