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.

Almost Bald And No Edits

collabor 88

I was in a bit of a rush this morning so first of all, I was in a dither. I had the new hair from D!VA which is PRECIOUS at Collabor88 except, for some reason this one just doesn’t suit my face. D!VA makes PRECIOUS hair, and it’s exactly the sort of hair I WANTED so, I dug out a style from a month or two ago. VOILA.

But then I was a lazy blogger and just decided to edit in aviary and waddya know with the clock ticking, Aviary was down. Continue reading

My Second Box OCTOBER Launches In a Big Way

Angel from the Fire

The Designers have begun sending out their monthly subscriber gifts for the OCTOBER gifts and it’s shaping up to be a beautiful month. I am going to post each item individually this time and first up is a release that should be dropped into the group in the next day or so – from Sacha’s Designs it’s CRUELLA complete with wings you can adjust to fit your AV better (yay for being able to mod).

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!

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.
