Rockberry – A Full Review Including Nakie Bits

Rockberry is a skin from my long ago past that I was excited to get a chance to look at via SKIN FAIR this year. I remember long ago, them participating in a hunt or an event and liking them enough to go back shopping. This was before the grid was plagued by nonstop events, of course.

This will be a full review with body shots after the cut.

No. 7 Sporty Lipsticks – A Review from Skin Fair

I like the sporty pack of lipsticks from No. 7 at Skin Fair. They’re a bit out of my lane but I thought the color combos and the gloss was flawless.

I have a slight quibble in that there is definite pixelation up close.  You can see this in the above picture, the smaller images look flawless but the larger one does show it a bit at the top. Continue reading

Nar Mattaru – The PG Post

I am very excited today because a skin I saw at Skin Fair has panned out to be as awesome as it appeared. However, I’m going to tease you with it because I have to stay PG here on Iheartsl.

When I originally posted about Skin Fair I mentioned I was looking for a new “every day” skin and I feel like FREYA from Nar Mattaru might be a contender. Above is pictured Erys, below is Freya.

To see the whole skin and what I’m loving –you will have to hit this link because of nudies!

Hair: Ploom

Lingerie: Luxuria

Skins: Nar Mattaru Freya and Erys for SKIN FAIR

Nar Mattaru – The Full Review Including the Naughty Bits

I was intrigued by the look of the Nar Mattaru skins at SKIN FAIR during blogger preview so I requested a blogger pack I have to say I was impressed with everything she included in FREYA which is the Skin Fair exclusive – some of the looks are pictured above.

I’m wearing the ivory tone so yes I stayed in my lane. The lip glosses included are all rich deep tones, perfect for a goth girl or a pinup with dark tastes. These are included for this skin for the event.  Continue reading

Skin Fair Gets Ready to Kick Off

I like vintage swim suits a lot. I suppose it’s because half of SL has their bits hanging out all the dang time, I find it more alluring to cover mine up.

Surf Co. has an offering of summer funtimes items at The Arcade and this not so little bikini is one of them.

I thought it was a great time to trot out a bikini when I’m ready to launch into what will probably we a WEEK of really sharing great skins from skin fair. Yes, a week. There is a lot of awesome.

My goals for Skin Fair this year are two fold. One goal is to find a new every day go to skin to add to my repertoire. I have a handful of trusted, quality skinners that I wear regularly. But it feels like branching out and adding another one or two is in order. Who knows what gems I will find? My other goal is to stretch my wings and try out skins that while they might not be me, are creative and inviting to wear.  Continue reading

Old Things and New Things

I have to confess to being a hoarder in SL. Ok maybe a bit in RL. But this year I’m trying to change that, and I’ve already taken my inventory from 114k to 110k by picking a letter of the Alphabet and ruthlessly deleting. I’ve also done some foldering, which if you know me is a min miracle.

While rummaging though, I realize I’ve got every farking dress Baiastice ever made including all from her PRE-MESH days and well, let’s be real I don’t need those. So I started deleting, checking dates, more deleting and then I realized I didn’t remember this dress.  Continue reading

I Have To Get Busy

SLink West opens today. Collabor88 opens today. I have SO MUCH SHOPPING TO DO.

I promised myself however that I would not play until I got some work done around this house. Cleanup it due, my closets are bursting, I just have to get some things done.

I promise, I’ll only sit here another few minutes.

Cleaning Supplies: WHAT NEXT – The Arcade

Sweater: Baiastice FAMESHED
Pants: Lacuna
Shoes: L.Warwick – Europa
Chair: Cheeky Pea

Let’s Talk Simple

A nice job texturing a simple dress can be as much of a skill as anything. This little halter dress from Ducknipple makes me think it’d be cute at a more elegant pool party as well – with your swimming suit underneath.

It’s perfect for the cocktail hour of said party. It makes me feel summery and ready to be rid of all my baggage of the winter season.  I am also wearing some kicky new pumps for SLINK feet that are from LWarwick. They’re nicely made and great slip ons for casual or more dressy occasions too. Continue reading

And If Your Close Your Eyes

I am adding this dress from Baiastice to my folder of staple foods when it comes to classic dresses. I’ve worn it twice now and that’s a definite endorsement.  It’s classic lines paired with casual comfort is perfect whether you’re feeling cocktail fancy or just comfy casual.

Today I’m somewhere in between. Continue reading
