Raid My Closet Challenge Pt. I

Oct08c_003

I love the idea behind the Raid My Closet Challenge. With an inventory overflowing with far more clothes than I can keep track of and more shoes than a Jimmy Choo store, it makes sense to dig around in the inventory rather than buy something new. We all know that there have been great advances in the technology of clothing design and that there’s a reason some of the clothing moldering in our folders are not seeing the light of day anymore, but among those older clothes and shoes are gems that are just as good as ever.

Nyu York, Nyu York

Oct06 c_003

If you can make it there, you can make it – anywhere. Nyu York, Nyu York!

Actually, I am not at the New York sim and I know that’s a terrible pun, but I could not resist. I have a weakness for bad puns.

What is true, though, is I am wearing Nyu’s fabulous trench coat and set for the winter rains. You can find it at the FaMESHed October showcase. The coat comes in leather and wool and in just about every color you could want. I chose pink because I was thinking it’s been a while since I wore something pink. Besides, it looks so good with the hotness that is…

Design Your Own With Great Pieces

oct12_005

When I unpacked the glorious “My Feathered Waspie” from La Penderie de Nicole, I realized it was one of those pieces that could be mixed and matched with bits and pieces of other outfits to make fun, new things, giving me a chance to “design my own.”

Rainy Day Movies

Cinema is officially open today!

I was a bit bored of my normal compilation posts, so I braved the grid and went “on location” today to show you a couple more of my favorite Cinema finds.

Rainy Day Movies (Cinema Post 2)

(click image to view larger)

This entire shot is inspired by Alice Project’s new “Willow” hair at the Cinema event.  I LOVE windblown styles; in fact, I even have a special “Windblown” section of my inventory’s hair folder.  This hair is gorgeous, and comes with the standard HUD jam-packed with lots of color options and infinite customization.

I knew I wanted to use this hair for a windy, rainy shot, so I put out the call to my ever-knowledgeable Plurk friends for a good rainy location.  The Cupcake sim has a small rainy section, and the “old Parisian” feel is perfect for this new bustier dress by Perception, also available at Cinema.

Finally, though you might have to look closely to notice, I’m wearing Slink’s new mesh hands.  They’re fabulous!

More highlights from Cinema coming in future posts.  I hope you’ve already had a chance to check it out this afternoon.  If not, run!  Go!

It’s TIME TO GET READY FOR HALLOWEEEEEEEN

Holiday Baking

I really really like Halloween in both lives. Crazy decorating, lots of treats, there is no end to my enthusiasm. I started breaking out my fall/Halloween awesome decorations this past week and decided that some baking is definitely in order. Continue reading

No Muss, No Fuss

Oct08_003

When I saw this fabulous off-the-shoulder sweater from erratic for FaMESHed this month, I immediately thought of these gorgeous pants from Cashmere that I found at Vintage Fair. Sure enough, they are a great match and perfect for a no muss, no fuss Saturday.

To Hang Vigil For Odin

Weeping for Odin

I chose one of my favorite books, American Gods, as the inspiration for my pose prop for the DEAD COOL Halloween event. I think it’s time we started rolling out the truly macabre and grisly wonders of the month of October, and while I didn’t include an actual hanging pose, I think electing suicide is macabre enough.

Movie Night

As I’m sure you know, the Cinema event opens tomorrow, and I hope you’re excited as I am!

cinema
The build for Cinema is probably the best I’ve ever seen, and you can grab the goodies above for free!

Just for a little sneak peek, I wanted to highlight some of the “casual wear” items I snagged.  (Stay tuned for others in another post!)

cinema

First up is this layered sweater/shirt combo from Auxiliary.  I’m really loving plaid shirts for fall, and for Cinema you can get this one with a creepy zombie scene on the sweater!

cinema

Auxiliary also released special Cinema versions of the cute Bunneh Hoodies currently at Collabor88.  These Cinema hoodies come in a variety of shades and have sugar skull bunnies on the front.  Love!

Next up is this outfit from Pink Outfitters.  The shirt and pants come with both clean and bloody versions (clean shown here, obviously).  I love good wardrobe staples like this, and I’ll be pairing these jeans with boots for Fall! (And…oops, my eyes are closed here.)

cinema

Last but not least, check out these chevron jeans from Evolve.  I’m a little obsessed with chevron prints, and I love the muted multi-tones on these.  I don’t have any other printed jeans in my inventory, so these are a welcome addition!

Count your lindens, throw on your no-lag event clothes, and get ready to click “teleport” – Cinema is coming!

The Plastik Gambit

oct08t_006

I don’t know which opening move Aikea Rieko is commemorating with her Gambit dress, but it must be a colorful one.
I love the many iterations of this Gambit dress from The Plastik for FaMESHed and there is one in the tradition black and white colors of chess, so the name makes perfect sense. But for me, I am drawn to the wild, hallucinogenic prints like this one and the one that Acha wore the other day. But then, I have never had the patience for chess.
