    One of the best things about sales or discounted areas is the chance to pick up accessories you may not consider usually…

    Such is the case with COCO’s outlet room upstairs of their mainstore, not an accessory on its own, but an actual piece of a combo that was a MUST HAVE for me. The tie scarf thing I have on is a divine piece and was actually part of a shirt package, but at the discount price you feel like your only paying for the tie and the shirt is a bonus, or vice versa, I grabbed two different coloured ones, but I may just have to go back for more, they are too yum.

    Also picked up at the outlet are the gorgeous pinstripe pants, I never saw these when they were out normal like, or I would have bought them then, I am a pinstripe fan forever. They do come with a white belt and all that jazz but they are really easy to mod, but you can of course wear without.

    Whimsy came up with an awesome Corporate Bloggers Challenge the other day, of course it was already after I did a post exclaiming how my outfit was great for work, the meany wont let me add those pics either lol. Kidding aside I did intend to go there with this post, but I ended up a bit more PR girl on the go, or whatever more laid back professional girl on the go can look like. Good timing is the new Zoe cropped jacket from Ingenue, layered over the RB Tank from Maitreya and I was good to go.

    I am still wearing the Allure with socks, I did take them off but they work so well with the look they went right back on again. The other new hair from Maitreya is Lotte a gorgeous low slung ponytail with a side part. It is beautiful. Speaking of perfect timing, the new Gracie panties just came out for FLF today at Whippet & Buck – more with bras to come in future weeks – which gave me the chance to show off the new PXL skin Linda G3…this skin is not only wonderful looking, but has so many options. Hairbases, freckles, cleavage, lipsticks and eyemake up tattoos, as well as dark and light brows, I am not sure if I am forgetting anything, but you will see them all when you DEMO DEMO DEMO and do not forget the upcoming Vanity Skin Fair that starts this sunday PXL has a booth there, so you can see what is new and current on location as well.

    Phoenix is Foxy

    Weslaw

    It is Saturday for me in 16 minutes, but technically only the starting few hours of flf, now while I don’t generally do flf posts, this is kind of a combo, because as you know I have this thing for …

    Hee hee Whippet & Buck have out a dress (NOT SHOWN) and the nifty unisexy long sleeve shirts, I am actually wearing the mens version so that you can see that the shading is done for men specifically, and the ladies have their own too, it is not just one shirt worn two ways. Anywho, while I was there I poked my head inside and saw the Phoenix Shift dresses that I didn’t have until now, and yum system skirt love as usual. This dress is fabulous, and the colours it comes in made a fat pack necessary.

    I am showing some Tesla foot love today, have you all noticed she is back, not only giving away ducky avatars as gifts at her store, but also making special pose props, now you all just have to send her some love and encourage the shoes/boots. The lovely floral top I am wearing is another flf item from So Many Styles, so perfect in colour to wear with my Jade set from Essentia, and all that green made getting both colours of the Clawtooth and Clawtooth flf hair a must as well.

    Riddle me this …where can you find some incredible argyle, Riddle of course 🙂 have an awesome day.

    Ugg boot DNA

    Jessica

    Party

    Megan1

    Megan 2

    UPDATED Extend a Helping Hand Banner 2
    Over the years, well all my life actually…I have been a total American Fan, all the way U.S.A. Then you came along and tried to take our Ugg boots. Then the doona, that was just not on, seriously the only time in 38 years I have been cranky with you has been over those two all Australian items, you can have the hillshoist, I don’t much care – I leave my clothes on it too long and they fade – but to actually go out and try and trademark what has been ours forever was just RUDE. But we won them back, and I forgive you.

    Now those of you that have them, or have worn them, can never truly appreciate the Ugg boot if you aren’t, or haven’t lived in Australia for a long time. You can think you do, and you can get close to being right, but nope, it is ours and it is something that just runs through every Aussies DNA. For a start they went out from the mid 80’s until the late 90’s and you cannot convince a city dwelling Aussie otherwise. Indoor wear only was the Ugg, an expensive slipper, that allowed you to run out in the middle of the night and put out the trash when no one could see you in them. One night a house mate and I drove to the local chook shop for dinner and once out of the car I realised my feet were wayyyy too comfy, looked down and screamed, in the next split second there were two Uggs flying across the carpark because bending down too pull them off would have taken too long, I had to kick and flick and fast. If anyone had seen me I’d have died, and if anyone had been in the car park to see me retrieve them, I would have left them there forever.

    But I cannot tell a lie, they do so have their practical uses, and now that it is ok to wear them in public again, they are great for ducking out to the shop because you just tore your last pair of stockings before a night out, so it’s a quick dash and slide into franklins and back to the house to put them on with whatever 6inch heels your going to actually go out in. I am not exagerating about the slide, Ugg boots and polished supermarket floors can be way dangerous, and super fun if you have good balance. There are some sexy looking Uggs out there now, and in SL that is no different.

    My favourite Uggs of the moment are the ones by Bedlam an Aussie owner so true blue for sure, these have so many texture and colour options that they can co-ordinate with all your clothing, and even if you are frocked up for a dance, well depending on where you are, these are great for getting too and from without blistes because your new shoes haven’t been properly broken in yet. Speaking of frocked up, the second pic is me in the Queensland Party Frocks that are part of the Extend a Helping Hand fundraiser for our flood victims up there…these are by fellow Aussie Whippet & Buck they are so pretty and the fat pack is a steal, had to have it. The really pretty wold necklace around my neck is showing off a beautiful deep green leaf, and comes in both Male and Female options, also part of EAHH.

    In the top pic I am wearing a mix of Mon Tissu, Riddle, Whippet & Buck and Fishy Strawberry, the Geisha belts from FS are so cool, they are an older item but do not date in their style and quality. The fun shorts by W&B are so cute, you can tell it’s summer down under with these being released, and even though I wore with the new Riddle leggings, they are still so fun and playful. The park ave shirt from Mon Tissu has a lovely line and length with curled up sleeve caps and its own waist belt not worn, but so cute for other occasions, I have actually worn the belt in a different post.

    Another New skin by YS & YS this is Megan and such a different face than usual, I love the make up in this one, and its another that comes with matte lipsticks, you can either buy seperate or included, as well as new eyeshadow packs that match a few of the newer skins. The hair is also older from LeLutka, but I tell you what the styles about to come out will have you screaming for more more more.

    Buck Up for Winmer, or Sumter

    FriWhip

    A quickie, just to get my day started…which is kind of silly as it’s 2am here. I cannot believe it is the 17th, Christmas is only days away, and yet there is nothing really Christmasy feeling about it, unless you consider funny names on plurk and of course the decorating of sims and body, such as I have done today. But are you feeling the nostalgia, the need to find that ultimate gift for loved ones, or looking forward to as many of your family and/or friends getting together on the big day ?

    As I get older, it becomes more about making sure I remember that the stores will be closed, and to be sure to order enough red bull in my next delivery. It is funny too because in the past I have shuffled my Christmas day – a day ahead of most – with being in Second Life to do customer service on Christmas Eve, a hectic last minute explosion where everything hiccups and it is all awesome – I miss customer service lots and lots, may have to do something about that in the new year.

    Maybe I am still not used to being so overexposed to it so early, as soon as the halloween stuff was about to come down the thanksgiving and christmas stuff went up in Second Life, and for us down here, your thanksgiving meal is more like our Christmas, so somehow I feel like I have already had my turkey and all the fixins.

    Lucky for me and other Aussies, there are designers like Dakota Buck taking care of our warmer weather needs. This weeks fifty L Friday items from Whippet & Buck are these adorable tiered skirts. The two colours that you will get are divine, and so easy to mix and match. I went with black for the pink skirt, but could have easily gone with chocolate, creams or even blues.

    Moving down the legs, past The Strand socks and onto the New YS &YS Yeti boots, this is so cool, as only recently did I delete some Yeti boots from 2006-7 ish. They come in a lovely range of colours. Yeti boots are so much fun, not just because they look great, but who can not chuckle at the idea of boots made from Yeti fur…the idea that man has never caught one, but we managed to make shoes from them none the less.

    The tops I am wearing come from Fri.day, the one on the left being the newer Rhapsody tunic, this is a two layered look, with the top layer having only one strap and a cute puffed sleeve attachment. I was impressed with the info in the pack letting you know that with all avs being different sizes, you may need to do some editing on the sleeve and that your AO ‘may’ effect it’s movement, due to the inability to do afull shoulder covering because of the one arm template. Many don’t realise that is how clothing is done, so that info is really nice to have provided. Another part of the top that I love is the belt, the thin mid torso belt is perfect for high waist skirts or anything really, adding an extra accent to a look, so worth the tops purchase just for the belt.

    The fluffy furry stole I have on over the Dion shirt is from SDB, this stole is NOT mod though, my version isn’t anyway, so you will have to pray to the heavens that it fits. I am not sure if that is still the case with the item in the store, but yes, it’s a really pretty item, but unfortunatly with no glitch and no mod, it is not going to fit all. So if your breasts are bigger than a 65 and your larger than I look, be warned.

    Speaking of warnings, the fun antlers I am wearing need a big tag hanging from them saying DON’T TOUCH MEEEE – watch that youtube it is adorable – but back to antlers lol. These come with emotes built in, so if someone clicks on you, well all sorts of things could happen in open chat, but thank goodness they do have a lock option, and they sparkle and look fabulous, and you know you want to find out what they say, let’s just put it this way. If I wasn’t partnered and Newdoll wasn’t partnered, we would have to get married now.

    I have used and added another stock image to the Second Life Stock Images Group, some incredible photos have been added for people to use, I cannot wait to play with some myself. If you do use them, please mention it in comments, it is an amazing thing to know your images are helping others with their pics.

    As I went down to the river

    MonTissu Party

    MonTissuCas

    I have been having a lot of fun with the stock images I have taken, in these pictures again it might look like they were shot on location, but no, all done in my VR Studio. I was absolutely floored by the picture that Anya OhMai did in a post the other day using one of the backgrounds from the Second Life Stock Images flickr group, she is so talented, that it rocked to have something from the group used by someone so wonderful.

    Both backgrounds are from Lula the home of Mon Tissu, that finally opened today, to much aclaim. Everyone I know has gone gaga over the release, and I myself was so impressed by the detailing of the items, you really cannot understand how amazing they are just off the vendors. An item I haven’t shown yet is so well structured it totally had me fooled.

    The other day while Whimsy was swanning around in her Mon Tissu goodies, I was intrigued by how ‘real’ the skirt she had on looked…now don’t get all persnickity about photosourcing, because there is a big difference between sourcing and just taking a pic or downloading an actual garment and shoving it on a template. Things are sourced in SL all the time, for instance try handdrawing a knit pattern, can you imagine having to draw some wool make it look like wool, then mold that piece into what would look like one part of a stitch? then to repeat that hundreds of times until you get one row of knit, to then again copy that over and over to be able to get a patch big enough to make a texture for a scarf.

    Or good luck getting really beautiful leather shoes/boots if leather in some varieties wasn’t sourced. Anyway, not saying these things cannot be achieved, just saying it isn’t always practical, and if there is true work done to the item, and the sourcing is just a small part of the overall finished product, then you need to learn the difference when throwing around accusations. This is all coming out ranty, but that is not the intention.

    What I was getting at in a round about way, is that the skirt had me totally fooled, what ‘looked’ like it might be more sourced than not, wasn’t even on the mesh texture at all, the skirt was done so well at the front with sculpties that I had to zoom and cam and turn and go ‘OMG’. That is what you will never realise from a flat image, that often what can look flat or have a more realistic look than you assume it should, is actually just made so well that it looks real.

    Just like I remember when Maitreya Gold first came out, people were actually accusing the pics on flickr as being images from another programe that they couldn’t be second life, Maitreya sure showed them. Anyway, I will show that skirt one day soon, and you will see what I saw, because the Mon Tissu blending of real and handdrawn is wonderful, and I cannot wait for more.

    The party dresses in the first pic are so adorable, and I can see wearing the tops or skirts of the dress as seperate pieces for other fun looks. So many bows, even my hair is a bow, loving accented with some divine and delicate pieces of jewelry from Whippet & Buck another incredibly talented duo. Wouldn’t you just love to sit in a room and pick the brains of creators like these two fashion brands, I know I would.

    Boot love all over the place, how Elie Spot – otherwise known as Emma Gilmour – was able to top her recent cowboy boots with these ones is just amazing. If we could somehow convince her to spend the next two months only making shoes and boots OMG. The cardigan in its beaded vintage beauty, with the underneath beaded tank, is a true showing of how meant to be Mon Tissu is, and how it’s creators are really in eachothers creative space in such a great way. I took the belt from the Park Avenue top and wriggled it down to the hips, stretched it and voila a great bow belt for the jeans as well. Even the jeans are mod, which is just amazing.

    I am wearing Curio hair in the top pic, and Exile new and old in the second pic. The new hair is Hannah and so cute, love the loose braid on the side, again Kavar just makes such stunning and feminine locks.

    Make sure when visiting Mon Tissu you take your man with you, he can look around the incredible sim, add pics to the stock images group 😛 and get used to being there, because future releases are going to include ones for men.

    You had me at Ahoy

    Mila
    Mila3
    Mila2
    Mila1

    Roughly 15 mins ago the Mila skin by LeLutka was released to the public. The skin is a new range for LeLutka and a new way of packaging as well. The skin is now sold with one hair option, cleavage enhancer. The other hair colour bases, brows and teeth attachment options are add ons you can buy seperately. The idea is that you don’t pay for what you don’t need I guess.

    Loving the red hair options, I had to go with that, I love how the red base and brows look, and you can get the combo as an all in one to save on layers tatoo wise. Of coure I am having to use the regular 2.3 viewer to get the full advantages of multiple layers, but if you do use 3rd party viewers that do have tattoo and alpha layers, you can still use at lease one of the options available…just be sure to try on demos and see for yourself what you will need. Also the teeth option is a new to me system, by using the Alpha layer to cut away part of the lips of the skin and allow for the teeth attachment to be shown, however I was able to still see teeth from the actual skin without the attachment, so you have it both ways, but remember, unless you have multiple layers of alpha to use, you wont be able to use this and wear v2 style shoes or other attachments at the same time, so again, demo demo demo.

    There are six new tones in the skin line, and they are unique to the add ons, as there is skin tone mixed in so that the effect is flawless. 7 make ups as well as a base which is make up free, and all of them are just lovely…I especially love the eye make ups on these ones.I am showing a lot of the body with the last release of lingerie from Insolence, very sheer and rather exposing this line is, so until now I did not have the moxy to wear it, but with a discreet arm lift and denial about my bottom -  the way low rise jeans are these days in SL I didn’t think I was showing more than has been seen uncovered lol – there it is, I especially love the options of panties in this set, and the amount of layers options is insane.

    I am wearing the Milla hair from Maitreya for the skin pics of the Mila skin, because the reds are so close, and it shows off the hairline, The Lelutka team did say there will be their own hair base hairstyles in the future, so yay on that.

    The NEW Hair I am wearing is from Elikatira, the Blind style comes with two bangs options, and the overall style of it is just GORGEOUS, the flicked back and clipped side, with the beautiful loose braid, so perfect and so the level of divine we are used to from Elika.

    I am wearing it with the new anchored frocks – I so love that they called them frocks – from Whippet & Buck, you had me at Ahoy with these. Not only are they nautical lovers fashion fun, but the babydoll can turn into a lovely vintage look cossie with one toss of the skirt and into the ocean you can dive, so perfect for those sailing trips with your partner enjoying the ebb and flow of the ocean.

    Go forth and find your sailing mate, and have a glorious weekend, with your new skin, new hair and new frocks YUM.

    This Bird Girl flies

    I love comics, as I have said here on numerous occasions. Mel is a huge fan of Manga, so is Whimsy and her kids…but I unfortunatly find it really hard to read right to left. It isn’t just the collums etc, it is even in what order you read the characters words, and that is way confusing for me, I do not know if it is because I do read a lot of comics strips still, am hooked on One Big Happy at the moment – ah Ruthie you are the cutest 6 year old EVER! I guess I will just have to go back and try and try again.

    Today is a hair day for sure, with the release of 7 stunning styles from Maitreya. Three of them are hat hair, and one is a new scarf style, that will of course go with the volumen scarfs buyable seperately at Maitreya. The first look is combining that street look of fall, Royal Blue created the coat and jeans for Call for Couture – almost over – and I added the bag from Lelutka and a sheer tank from Eclectic Apparel. The necklace I have on is the Gilded Virgin from Whippet & Buck, I bet there is a story to that name, and if I am lucky they will tell me. Mind you it is so delicate and beautiful that it could be innocent of any fun tales.

    Second we have this gorgeous Nordic poncho cardigan from Aoharu, seen previously in a solid knit, the nordic allows for more colour. I have on an oldie but a definite must have, the savoir top from Maitreya, these come in sheer and solid and are awesome for so many mix match oppurtunities.I tinted the fantastic cable knit socks from Riddle to go with, and added the divine Drew skirt from Whippet & Buck. This skirt is fab, with a high waist on all layers, so that you can still wear a jacket if needed. It even has a delightful little pocket at the front. A delish outfit calls for delish boots, and these ones are from Stellar, I have seriously been neglectful in showing these, as I had them set up at my landing area at home for weeks to remind me to blog them, and then kept tping directly to the studio and not even seeing them. Bad me, but they are so snuggly.

    The next outfit could have me start with the Christmas Carols early – ignores the fact that I sing them all year around, and drive my friends batty. The other night Newdoll was wearing one of these prettyful tops, and declared ‘they need to make more’ I agree. These are delicate and delightful. The red had me looking no futher than the ribbon skirt also from Aoharu, but it was seeing the hint of blue in the plaid waist of the top that had me going straight to my Maitreya folder for some much loved tartan leggings. Not identical but enough to be matchy matchy.

    Lastly and a way to choose your own advventure, the Paige striped skirt from W&B is great, it has all that lovely flexi volume, with an empire line band, allowing you to add whatever you fancy to the top. In this case I went with corresponding colours in their own simple bustier. Works a treat and makes a dress to go to a regatta in. Staw bag for my picnic lunch and these posh booties from Gos that are delightful and safe for walking long distances. They are so nicely styled and definitely have an older style charm to them.

    All of these looks combine the Castalia skin from Glam Affair. The skin is divine, the make ups are gorgeous, especially the sensual lips and smouldering eyes. You get the down there on seperate layers and tatoos, and all in all it is a very sexy skin…DEMO DEMO DEMO.

    The first picture in this post was a lot of fun to put together, more so because I got to incorporate the fabulous build work of W.Winx, of course owned by Whimsy Winx. The pumpkin house in the background is a much loved favourite, and if you have been to Octoberville this year and last, you will have seen it on the mountain.

    For me this time of year is a definite mix and match, not just because I love putting all sorts of things together, but so that I can literally merge both my lives, my real one and my second one, seasonally at least. Fashion wise I love the upcoming winter goodies, and Autumn/Fall is my favourite season, but it is getting to be summer here, so the heat will make you sometimes wonder why I may be rugged up in some pics and a lot lighter in others, or both.

    This post is a bit of the both. The first look on the left is system skirt love, and one that is a big surprise as it comes from LeLutka and they do not often do the system skirt thing. This one has zippers and a great cinch waist tie midsection, for added realism. Whippet and Bucks FLF item yesterday is the top, but these and any other top in W&B would totally work this outfit, they do such wonderful seperates.

    All the shoes in this post are from Shiny Things, such long breaks between releases from Shiny Things, but well worth it, especially when three such beautiful styles come out at once. The leather and strapping work on these shoes are fabulous, the texture on the red made me so happy to have something to match up with the wonderful make up of the Exodi Isolde Vivante skins.

    Poncho lovers rejoice, growing up I had a rainbow poncho, not nearly as classy as this one, but the consideration that LeLutka went into to make it wearable by all is fabulous. The poncho holds the arms in place so that you don’t need to effect your AO, or have to use a 2.0 client alpha if you don’t want to. If you are lucky enough to have such fabulous bags as the dreamcatchers from Fri.day that have an unscripted version, you can wear it and it looks even more authentic as seen in the pic.

    The Jewelry and hair corsage in this pic are from Bliensen + MaiTai, and are at Jewelry Fair, which ends really really soon – I am so behind eeek.

    Third look has my legs cooled down,and my upper all snug. The LumberJacket by LeLutka is gorgeous, and a great match up with the trapper hat from Emery. I would so go out in winter like this, take off the coat and dance the night away, that way you have the lightness without dieing from the heat inside, and the warmness for the ride home again. A friend of mine once went to a club in Canada and said the coat check room was HUGE for this exact reason lol.

    The beautiful jewelry worn in this look is from Ear Candy, another Jewelry Fair item, so pretty and thankfully mod so I was able to remove full bright, they didn’t look so good in shadows.

    Go forth and Conquer the world today people, you never know when you wont have the stamina to try anymore.

    While Mel was recently away I sat and pined on my new Lovers Garden. There really is a sad option, but I didn’t want to put it on the post, because with all the pretty Mel and I pics, it ruined the yummy.

    Lovers Garden is a beautiful small space you can rez wherever you have the room and the 12 prims. In this case I just rezzed it at The Deck behind one of the builds so I could still work and take pics and chatter with Mel, Whimsy and Newdoll….multitasking all the way.

    I was able to grab him to myself for a moment though and get these great shots. The Lovers Garden not only have single poses, but two pages of couples poses, and some of them are just all fun. There is a falling together into the bed of flowers that you have to try out for yourself. Easy to use, and easy to love. It is created by Eku Zhong who it seems has many talents in Second Life, so be on the look out for more from her.

    The store is a treasure trove of low prim furniture from roll down desks to smooshy couches and incredible balinese outdoor furniture, so pack up the kids and grab the trailer, because there is a whole slew of shopping to do.
