It is always fun piecing together a look that combines different texture styles, the structured wool of the shorts, with the billowy cotton of the top, then down to the leather work in the boots. When done right it is a great feeling to have the luxury of choices that we have in Second Life. I had so much trouble deciding on which option of these shorts to wear, they are by Lamb and they are so cute. I especially love the ring pull on the zipper of them, because it is just a cute little detail. The top by Fashionably Dead is giving so much gypsy, and pulls off the off shoulder look so well. My favourite parts are also the incredible texture work on the elastic waist and details giving it such realism, superb work. The top of course lead to my jewellery choices by Sigma, the coin necklace definitely brought the gypsy look home and the rings are just fabulous fun. Both sets come in PBR or classic textures, so you can have a great time putting together your looks with them.
It was time to get my brows done, and Nuve again did not disappoint. These are the Maya brows, that were made for the Maya skin, of which I am not wearing, I love the versatility of Nuve brows that they can be worn across skin lines. These are a little thinner than I usually wear, but they have a lovely swoosh look to them that I like. They also look great with my feathery looking hairstyle by Exile. The shorts gave me another chance to rock out in my Mellow Elie boots, they are so cute, and have an option that will also work with longer pants, but loved them with the shorts.

Bubbling Over
Did you know? It has been announced as part of the February Membership Mania, that mesh uploads will be free for all Premium Plus users, starting in the next few weeks…however if you visit the Sandbox at Radiantia you can upload for free now. I myself went over and checked this, so it does in fact work now, so do not wait on the few weeks, get to saving. If you are not already a Premium Plus subscriber, I urge you to look into the features that having an account like that includes, because it was already robust and in the last few weeks it has gained even more, I went to bed with 703 prim allowance for my home and woke up with 937.
After my upload test, I was feeling more girly than usual. Fashionably Dead just released this superb bolero (fluff on and off options) and tank set — seriously I think I live in this tank now — that gives a lot of ballerina. It is a release for the Dubai event, and there are also some jeans I cannot wait to wear. However the girliness was strong, and I remembered the Butter skirt by Mellow Elie was going to be the thing that I needed to pull off a girl about town look. The soft flow of the skirt has such great fluidity to it, that I hope to see more like it in future.
The shoes by Breathe gave me a choice of fishnet or polka dots for the sock portion, and it was a neck and neck race to the finish but ultimately the dots won, that and the bows strengthen the vibe and I am feeling my Emily in Paris kind of moment. You can change all the parts separately, but I liked the all one colour look, this is actually one of the fatpack special colours. To make sure my bag matched, I was able to go into edit and tint the handles and heart so that it was more in keeping with the palette I had started, though there are so many colours to choose from via the bags HUD. Also adjusted for the look are these earrings by Yummy, part of their Beachy Boho collection, these are the bubbles earrings and I upped their size a fair bit and love the outcome so much. The Monso hair has a behind shoulders option, that as you know by now I will nearly always prefer, and that gave a proper visual line to the earrings. This half updo style is so cute and I wore one of my own headbands — by Flair — atop it, just to bring all the colours together.

Date Night
Wow the weekend flew past, I don’t even know what we did, I know I turned SL 4 that’s about it. I do know though that I introduced Whimsy to the dark side, now that she has a WoW account we have been killing things and such, and to find her now I have to go looking there. I have also been reading a lot more lately, and a lot of what I read is total rubbish, I am the first to admit it. But I enjoy it and that is the main thing.
I am looking forward to this weekend though, as it will be our celebration of The Deck being around for just over a year, and many of the designers that have stores there are going to be giving gifts over the weekend, so I will enjoy getting to see many people come back and revisit The Deck…it is amazing how fast the year has gone. I also cannot wait to see what will be given as gifts, it will be like birthday pressies for everyone, so exciting.
The Larin skirt by Zaara is so beautiful, it isn’t just because of it’s highwaistedness, or the beautiful textures, but more so to do with the incredible workmanship of the prims. The creating of proper draped looking alpha textures; without losing to alpha glimmers, or any of the other things that limit the true beauty of SL creation. The prim work is so smooth and fits to the contour of the body seamlessly, I haven’t had to resize or edit in anyway and yet can barely even see where the skirt meets the glitch pants.
What I think is an absolute shame though, is that the Larin belt and cinch part of the skirt are not separate… I think that personally the texture of that part of the skirt is wonderful, and it is such a shame to be not able to wear it over other items. I wish Zaara would get those files out, erase all that is not the cinched part and make it in many more colours on all layers, I think that could even liven up the skirts for many that wore them to death on release, there are print ones that if the upper portion was in the colours of the pattern may make an interesting combo…or even if the thin belts on the same bases were different, imagine the ivory skirt with a red belt or turquoise and so on, MORE BELTS please Zaara .
I went with three different looks, these for me are perfect early evening to wherever the night takes you looks. Something that you feel comfortable in, but extremely feminine and stylish. The perfect Date night look.
Recently Whippet & Buck (gosh I love that store) had out some bustiers in solids, that previously had been print only…they were part of the 50L friday, but if they are out now as a regular priced item and you didn’t get them, go get them now, well worth it. They make the perfect balance for extending a look like this one, into a dressier look, or as a modesty covering such as in the second pic.
I adore the Ontible dress from Le Lutka and this is the first time I have actually worn it with the sleeves, as previously after release I never did. Looking back HERE I realise I have never worn it the way it comes in the box lol. Loving layers, wearing the bustier from W&B with the shirt layer of the actual Ontibile dress that just tucks up under the breasts, and still having the room for the jacket layer of the skirt, that is total win.
I hope you have been noticing my beautiful new skin, this is the latest release from UnBra. Mayara is a gorgeous skin with not one, not two but FOUR cleavage options. This skin goes all out on accomodating the needs of all. With the beautiful body work, and I am totally happy that there are different cleavages, but also hair bases, and as far as going all out to show you the major details of the product there is included an image showing the RGB value of the skins, not only does this benefit for shoes, but also when tinting gloves for nails.
There are enough make ups in this skin line to please everyone, actually I could do with about twenty or so more, but it definitely covers from day to night and a little bit of fantasy thrown in for good measure.
The poses are the new poses from /Geez by Grazia Horwitz, she recently reopened her pose store during pose fair, and has been creating poses for men and women ever since, so make sure you check it out.
Now speaking of tinting feet, Maitreya has recently updated their Shanti and Esprit -XTD shoes, so if you go to the redelivery terminals in their Maitreya Gold store you can press the machine and get the updated versions. The updates have less scripts and more win, with the fat pack version having an all in one click-able pair that is great for fast changing, as well as V2.0 options getting rid of the invisi prim look.
Further updates will follow, but make sure you get your Shanti and Esprit XTD as soon as you can.
