Waiting for you to come home

Waiting for you to come home

 

I hate when the man goes away to work. It leaves the house so empty and quiet.

Fortunately, it gives me the chance to dress up and hide in his man-cave for when he returns.

This lingerie was from a new store (to me at least). I found Carrie’s Lingerie in the websearch and was surprised that I hadn’t come across it before. The store is HUGE. I was greeted by a lovely CSR who was more than happy to answer my questions.

I’m usually wary of new stores because I don’t know what quality the product is going to be. The vendor image was quite clear, so I gave this a chance and I’m glad that I did.

The wild child lingerie is so cute on my avatar. I love the texturing and colour. My only bug bear is the lace, which could have done to be a little more delicate. The 3d effect wasn’t amazing, but it didn’t let the outfit down too badly.

Another slight issue was a lack of layer options. Each layer option is one item of the outfit. This could be limiting if I wanted to wear parts of the outfit and not others.

If you’re looking for a new store to check out I would suggest definitely hitting up Carrie’s. This is a creator who is definitely going to be huge someday and I can’t wait to see more lingerie hitting their range.

Everything has been against me sharing a post with you this past two weeks. I grabbed this set over a week ago now from Luxuria’s FLF. I loved it as soon as I laid eyes on it. I love that someone is still making avatar layer lingerie, and I love the choice of appliers that came in the box. Flexibility is always a girls best friend in SL, and Luxuria hasn’t failed to deliver with butt and boob appliers galore! *Style Card* Hair: Exile – Dancing by myself (Arcade, light reds) Skin: Pink Fuel – Renee Shape: Personal Lingerie: Luxuria – September Rose (Fifty Linden Friday) Shoes: Glamistry – Amaryllis (Red and Black packs combined)

It might seem odd when I say that one of my favourite things is the apocalypse.

I love the books, the music and the whole genre. So when Uber announced that this round had an apocalypse theme I may have squealed, just a little. The designers? Well, they certainly didn’t let me down.

Starting from the top is hair by Truth. It comes with both a smooth and messy style and multiple colours per pack, all changeable by HUD. The gas mask also comes with the hair in black and chrome with optional steam. I love options. Truth hasn’t failed me.

The lingerie comes with options too. It’s from Baiastice at the Uber event and is mesh. The options are net (like the panties) or full (like the bra). Of course, I had to mix and match.

The fit, in my case small, was perfect without even needing an alpha. This is a big plus for me as I always find that I end up adding multiple alphas by accident. Not a huge issue, but an annoyance when changing. The texturing and mesh itself are just as I would expect from such a big name. Definitely going to be one of my favourite sets.

Until next time, I’m going to get down to the armory. This girl needs a gun before the zombies come.

Lazy Days

iof2post

 

I’m a little late this week because I had a long weekend and have pretty much spent the past 48 hours lazing around in my underwear trying to find the energy to add clothing. In SL I haven’t been much different.

I got this lingerie set from Blacklace and since I put it on I have been unable to take it back off. It’s just so pretty! I love the lace details on every item which brings the set completely together. Plus it’s Blacklace so I know that I can trust the quality.

The set comes with all of the layers you would expect, including the gloves and the stockings. It also comes with appliers for slink hands and feet and appliers for Lola’s, Gos, Wowmeh and tons of others. I love this flexibility. It means I can wear it no matter how big my boobs or ass are today and still look hot.

Of course, I chose a favourite “lazy spot” for my picture. The Pixel Bean is the ideal place to kick back and chill out with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. I really suggest you all check it out at some point.

Down the Rabbit Hole

IOFPOST1

I got so excited when I was asked to submit a weekly lingerie post. I adore lingerie and it gave me the perfect excuse to buy more, and to explore some new stores selling it.

You see, lingerie is not like other clothes. It’s special. Choosing lingerie is about how it makes me feel, rather than how it looks. It’s not like it gets seen by many people!

This piece is from a new store to me, HAS BEEN. Terrie Dreadlow’s designs have a hint of the fifties to them and the demo for the sweetness lingerie instantly transported me to a feeling of coy retro cuteness. The bodysuit is all mesh, and fit me perfectly straight out of the box. Don’t you just love when that happens.

It came with a HUD that offers a huge variety of colour options. You can customise the front panel, sides, bows and the ribbons that run down the length. Every colour and every texture are gorgeously detailed. Plus, it’s only 99L. There’s no excuse not to explore your inner bunny!

The shoes were also from HAS BEEN and included the same HUD with tons of options. These were in the lights pack. There is also a darks pack.

Lingerie doesn’t have to be all lace, frills and barely there. It just has to make me feel special. This set does that and so much more.

I haven’t been around for a while, been super busy with a bunch of different sl projects and events.

I finally managed to get some time, to do my favorite sl pastime, and blog.

Shoetopia is the place to be right now. It might take you a bit to get there, but it is worth it once you do.

I’m showing you these heels from Malfean Visions. They are made to work with Slink Avatar Enhancement Mesh Feet. They also work great with the toe rings I made for Shoetopia.

There is very little time left to head on down to the latest round of Genre, This round was Western in theme. While not my normal thing, I thought I’d give it a try.

I ended up looking like a partially dead strumpet, but I am totally fine with that!

I tried to find a location to shoot, which was somewhat hard. Most places that had the look I wanted, required traditional garb and esthetics. I had the clothing, but the skin wasn’t appropriate, or so the GMs all told me. Even just for taking pics.

I did eventually stumble upon the starter area for Wyoming West. Again, this was another location I was not allowed to tp down to, but the starter area was nice enough to take a few snaps in.

Almost Late for C88!

I don’t normally like to post things so close to closing time, but I really enjoyed my outfit today, so alas, I am going to share it anyway.

I bought one pair of these shoes originally, then found out you can mix and match through the huds. Sadly at the time I did not find the fatpack, and after buying 5 pairs I’m super tempted to ask to pay the difference and get the fatpack, they really are too much fun to play with.
