I have decided that finally, yes, I also like Mesh pants. Everyone said just give it time and in fact, yeah finally, sizes and shapes are streamlining so that I don’t have to be a stick or a huge bootie shaking mama to wear mesh pants. Continue reading
In case you slept through yesterday, a new collaboration has launched featuring high quality mesh clothing from two established designers who are working together to develop a line of mesh clothing that is naughty and nice. One Bad Pixel is naughtily sexy, with figure-hugging styles that lay so beautifully against the skin and it’s nicely done, made with attention to detail, flawless texturing and fabulous colors. This is the Pearl dress in Aubergine – just one in a double rainbow of colors.
This gorgeous jacket from Swansong is called Serendipity. Serendipity is one of my favorite words as well as a lovely concept. While I don’t believe in fate or karma or other supernatural interventions in our lives, I do believe in serendipity. Serendipity is making desirable discoveries by accident, finding fortunate or agreeable things while you’re not looking for them, the happy coincidences of life. It’s that charming coincidence of deciding to wear a bright, colorful jacket like this one from Swansong and teleporting to Collbora88 and finding the fabulously florescent colored shoes from R2 that are a perfect complement, without even intending to look for them.
I have had these shot for a while and keep forgetting to post them. Continue reading
I spent far too much shopping this weekend with so many new releases and events that I decided to take a break and go for a walk at the fabulous Noweeto Grasslands. I thought the lizard tote from Celoe would love to go for a walk with me.
Well except for that whole over dressed avatar with a blonde wig thing wearing my shape. I guess you might recognize me.
Sometimes though, the exhilaration of life and change sweeps you up and makes you pause to think about how beautiful everything is, how good it is, and how at this point – there is nothing you would change. Every step though the purple flowered lagoon led you here and well, dammit, I’m wearing a new dress from Donna Flora and literally I couldn’t be one ounce fucking happier. Continue reading
So I went looking for a lovely place to shoot and found Misali – a gorgeous water sim with small islands that hold lovely little set pieces perfect for the SL photographer. Since I was wearing the purple and sapphire dress and jacket outfit from Baiastice I decided to use the lovely Purple Moonlight windlight setting from Elysium Elide. I love the dress and the jacket and like them together, though this does highlight one of the reasons I have not become a 100% supporter of mesh. I would love to have them as separate pieces, but unlike system clothing, mesh separates can be difficult to fit together. Some strategies I have used to make mesh separates work is to wear a M under and an L on top, though that does not always work. That’s why designers like Baiastice’ Sissy Pessoa make the outfits in one unified mesh instead of separates. It makes them work together perfectly, adjusting to your poses and preventing all intersections, but it does reduce our opportunity to make individualist styling choices.
Or maybe we just have to dig a little deeper to come up with new ways to add our own quirks and options. Here, I added the collar and sleeve fur pieces from a Bliss Couture jacket. I decided to tie the jacket more directly to the dress, adding the accents in the sapphire color of the dress.
One of the most enigmatic songs of all time popped into my head while trying to conjure up a title for this post. I was sim-hopping through the many Linden Endowment for the Arts sims and stopped off at one (LEA17) that struck me as having a gorgeous, high desert atmosphere that might be fun for playing around with shadows. I used the Barcelona windlight setting though I fiddled around with the time of day and where east was relative to the sim just to arrange the lighting more conveniently. My outfit was great for trekking about – though that Maitreya top actually has a long, draping open back.
As much as I like to be a fancy Barbie, I have to admit I love casual clothes which seems pointless as I have tons of them in real life. But, I do. Pink Outfitters has always been one of my favorite places for separates, and I am remembering what I love about that shop with these jeans and cool summer sweater.
There is no such thing as too many jeans, and despite the fact that I have a bajillion pairs I always want NEW jeans, so I am going to add Pink Outfitters to my list of awesome creators of cute jeans. Continue reading
Ah, the never ending battle of time between RL and SL made me a late SL bunny this year.
But, candy and eggs are good no matter what time of year right? RIGHT!
Personally, I think that Easter Candy should be given out for PMS like prescriptions. “Eat one Cadbury Egg an hour until you feel happy.”
I should totally be a doctor, I swear. Continue reading
