Cool Beans

I shopped some new hair from Anaphora today - Ana. I love it - comes with a texture change beanie and one of the texture options (shown) is a plain knit that you can tint as you wish :)

Also what I love about this hair is the fact the pack I bought (naturals) gives you 6 colour choices from blonde to rich brown and a redish shade so no need to buy 3 packs of hair to get blonde, brown and red. The pack of 6 was $300L a good deal I think.




Also Worn

Skin - Grix - Serendipity -Tegan in Cream
Glasses - Muism
Shorts - ricielli (20L sale)
Sweater and Scarf - Couverture
Shoes and Socks - Maitreya Moxie

Shadows, sales and socks

I downloaded the latest version on Kirsten's viewer and I am having a shadow problem with it :( When I enable shadows, on my screen my avatar looks all a blur so I couldnt really see the picture I took - however when I opened it in PS it was clear - odd .......

As you may already know, Ricielli is having a $20L sale on all red items in store for a short time - I picked up a few things including the Petra Minidress. I am wearing the top of the Petra dress with the $50L Friday skirt from Deco's Evening Dress in Olive. I also bought the same dress in cherry when it was on $50L Friday - the top part of the dress will not work for me at all but I do like the skirts very much so I am happy.

I shopped again in SL today - I have been looking at the new sweaters from fume for a few days and decided I would just get one today - in my inv I found leggings (maybe from a hunt) from fume as well.

I added my white knit boots from Anexx and the hair and scarf are from Maitreya Voluminous Scarf. The skin is from Dekade - Claire from past TDRB collection.

I took the picture at World's End - I loved the chair from Mortanique so I went over there and bought one too - nice poses in it :)

Taking a deep breath and delving into my inventory!

I expect loads of you are like me in that we buy sooo many things, do hunts, get group gifties etc and never get around to wearing half the stuff in our inventory. My inventory management is non existant and my linden balance very low!

Sooo I have decided to make an effort to go each day into my inventory and make an outfit from things I already have - well this is the plan but I bet I still shop more!

Today here is what I pulled out of the wreckage:



The top is from Line - I got this at DU4 - I bought both black and white - have previously worn the white but forgot about the black!

The skirt is a group gift from Coco - Coco is a great group - many gifts and they stay up in store on a wall for ages so you dont miss them.

The shoes are Maitreya - shanti - I bought the fat pack at the 50% off sale and I do wear them a lot

The skin is from Dutch Touch - it is Yri in caramel - I was tempted to buy the V2 Joilie skins today - but I have them in the V1 in fat pack in 2 tones so I resisted. Anyway, it is possible to revamp skins now with all the wonderful makeups in tattoo layers :)

Talking of which I am wearing Glamorize soft smoke eyeshadow in soft gold and Glamorize eyeline in Supercat. Also wearing Cheap makeup lashes - tattoo layer and Prim Lashes by Glow Studio - innocent.

The hair base is from Dekade and so is the Hair Attachment

The lipstick is from Mynerva - Plum

The pearls are from Deco

The ring - I love this ring - is from Paper Couture and is called Water over Wine

Nails are from SLink

Eyes are from Poetic Colors

Pose is from Exposure

Sometimes I see girls in RL who look great with short hair and I am soooo tempted to get mine chopped - but I am a coward. In SL however it is great that we can have the option to go with the Tomboy crop.

Pants from MNK
Cropped Sweater - BBs

Emery and Tiny Bird

Sorry, can't think of a title - my brain won't come to the computer, it is still asleep.



I love the jacket from Emery at the Dressing Room Blue - nice for a smart but casual look. I am wearing it with the 50L friday hair from Tiny Bird, Boots from Maitreya, Sweater from Maitreya (yes haven't changed my sweater from the last post !!) and the Jeans are from Fri.day - these were free from the Fri.day product sample pack. Skin is by Dutch Touch.

Garage Sale

I really need to stop shopping less and start blogging more of what I already have in my messed up inventory but I keep finding things to buy !!!

Today I bought this lovely vintage scarf from Milk Motion - Project Themory item - the theme is garage sale.

I also shopped the PT item from Ploom - some really nice Bee Hive hair.






The sweet jeans are from Gato - called Granny Jeans and the boots are from Maitreya - Soho Boots in Shabby Chic. The sweater is also from Maitreya - Savoir Sweater - beige - comes in sheer and opaque versions.

The skin - which I have blogged before and I love is from Tres Bla - Echo Tan at DU4

Nails are from SLink

The earrings are Indyra Originals - Porta Nova Earrings - these were from the Under The Sea Hunt at the Dominion so I am not sure if they can be bought

Thin Blue Line

I have had these "Brit Pants" from LeeZu in my inv for a while now but never seemed to be able to find a top to wear with them - until DU4 where I found this = Amyp top by :::Line::: that I think works :). The pants are really nice and the prim parts fit well on my shpae - no adjustment at all (yay - cause I am a lazy adjuster)

The belt, necklace and earings are from Mandala

Skin by Dutch Touch

Hair by Boon

Shoes by Maitreya

Taking the Tram

I have been looking forward to Designers United 4 for ages. The sim was really busy this morning but I managed to get in and did some shopping - some of the items I wanted had not yet been set for sale so I'll be going back later.

I shopped a few items - some will need major adjustemts to my avi size however so I'll take my time over them and post later. A lot of the items for sale are very spring like - well not surprising as the theme is narcissus - but as I said before I am in my autum winter mood I only shopped the darker coloured items - but many of the yellow ones are just beutiful too.

This outfit I am showing is from Tram - and it fitted perfectly with no adjustments - YAY!!! It caught my eye right away and I am glad I snapped it up.



Above it is shown without the hat that come with it.
Skin is also from DU4 - it is from Tres Bla - and omg is is so lovely I think - only $600L
Shoes are Maitreya Shanti in Black
Ring is from Paper Couture
Hair is from Clawtooth


Below is a pic of the hat - and a closer look at the face on the TB skin.

Feeling Flouncy

I was in a get all dressed up, albeit with nowhere to go, mood today and this skirt (part of a full outfit from Paper Couture was the starting point to my outfit. I added the belt from Maitreya's High Waist Skirt in Raven, LeeZu's Valerie Blouse in Black, Timeless Hair in Softest Black from Clawtooth, Yri in Coffee - Dreamy Make Up,the shoes are also from Maitreya, tights from Ugly Duck and to finish off the hat is also from Paper Couture.

Looking forward

While many of the summer fashions in SL this year have been wonderful, I am now looking forward to the autumn and winter seasons. I have started my shopping already and have found some things that I really like. For this post I have selected some items in warm browns.



Credits:

Skin - Dutch Touch - Jolie Smokey in Caramel

Pants - LeLutka Wool Pants - these look great and the prims match in wonderfully without any lumps that I sometimes find in prim legs - the only thing is that I think these pants were made before one did not have to tint prims grey to make them match with the clothing layer - so they needed modified back to no additional colour.

Boots - Bax - this picture does not show these boots up well at all - and for this I apologise. These boots are amazing - they are Bax Ankle boots. This is the brown suede pack and it gives you the option of 4 main shades of brown - and just about every part is texture change - oh and you can have fur tops on or off! So this is like having loads of sets of boots all in one - a real bargain.

Hair - Clawtooth

Belt - Maitreya

Top - Maitreya - this comes with 3 different coloured undershirts - the back of the sweater is semi open and shows the nice undershirts.

Glasses - Soviet Sleeper Glasses from Deco - I love these - they dont "do" anything - but I still love them :)

Necklace - Travellers Charms - Yummy

Skins, Sales and New Stuffs!

I have so many new things in my inventory due to all the sales and wonderful new releases so here a few.

First up - new Dutch Tough Yri skins - I bought 4 and got the VIP gift skin. The one shown below is called Blue Line in Cotton - part of a duo pack at $1,500.



Miel also has some newness out today - the Dandy Dress and Dandy Boots. I bought the uber dress - changes to all shades and floral and plains. I also bought the boots but have not shown them in this post - but they are really nice and are texture change.

Shown below is the Dandy Dress from Miel. Hair by Lamb - Lost in Mango, Socks by Pig and Shoes are Frenzy Bannana in Brown by Maitreya



Next up is one of the new amazing black skins from Lionskins - this one is Sukai in makeup 1. Such nice detail on the face.



Shown below are some more of the Maitreya sale goodies: Sweater Dress, toeless socks and shoes all from Maitreya. Hair is Goodbye Horses in Coco from Clawtooth.

Time is running out!

If you have not managed to get over to Maitreya for the 50% off sale yet, keep trying - time is running out and the sale ends on 22nd.

There are so many lovely clothes, shoes and hairs at Maitreya that I am sure nearly everyone will find something (or many things) they want to buy at the sale.

In this post I am showing a nice retro look - I am really into this style at the moment.



The hair and hat (with veil) are from Clawtooth - this is one of the $75L packs Bubbles is offering at the moment - they are from last year's hair fair - this style is called "timeless" and I think it is beautiful.

The skirt is from Maitreya, Highskirt in Aqua

Shoes also from Maitreya, Shanti in Dark Ecru

The beautiful blouse is Valerie from LeeZu - be aware this is a sheer blouse but can be made opaque by wearing it on more than one layer. The ruffle at the neck is really nicely made.

Skin by Dutch Touch - Jolie Smokey SMooth in Caramel

Eyes - Night Rain by Poetic Colors

The necklace is Travellers' Charms by Yummy

Bangle and nails by Mandala

Life's a beach!

I haven't blogged for ages - yet I have shopped sooo much - and of course my inv is now such a mess I can hardly remember what I bought and where I put it!

Anyway one of the many things I have bought is the 4 new sets of photography props from Virtual Props and Poses. Until the end of this week there is a special offer on where one can purchase a set of four beachy type props with tons of poses for a special price of L$3k. The sets are Beach, Lost, Fireflies and Volleyball.

Below I am showing a picture from Lost and Beach - no doubt I will be using the other props and showing more poses from these sets over time.

YeeHawwwwww!

Did my usual tour of the "fifty linden friday" offerings yesterday and Reek's wooden saddle horse made me want to go all cowgirl! So I got all kitted up and set off in search of a western themed sim to play .. and what did I find ... a "ghost town"



I took a wander round and found an old deserted shack and decided to claim it! I rezzed my saddle horse and sat down armed with my trusty shotgun from the gacha at Vooner ready to shoot or at least wave my gun in a threatning way at any land thievin' varmints that came my way.



pictures were taken at Canyon Diablo http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shadowland/150/187/21
this sim allows rez so it is good for photos. It has quite a few things to do - like gold panning, rodeo, places of interest, ghosts and some evil bears and cougars which are scripted to attack! Fortunately you can grab a scripted shotgun and pistol for free there along with a damage meter so you can RP.

I am wearing:

Hat and Hair by Reek
Skirt by Maitreya
Boots by G Field
Shotgun by Vooner
Cowgirl Top is the Charity Top by NO from the summer festival at Tableau
Skin by Ugly Duck
