Sodalite and Gaelle Shape

I am in love with the colors of this Chantkare dress and to play with a more couture look, I have paired it with the new leggings from Maitreya in sodalite blue.

I have updated the marketplace and the in world store with the new version of the Gaelle shape I have been using in my two last posts. The shape is made to fit a size M of the standard sizing system for mesh clothings. So she is a bit curvy and very sexy.

If you’re brave enough to endure the Marketplace and its problems due to the new direct delivery system updates, here is the link. Otherwise, I advise you to pay a visit to the small temporary Dunes shop in world to try a free demo.

Driftwood

Today I went for a look mixing two colors: driftwood as main stream with skye blue accessories to give more life it. The dress is a new release from ColdLogic and is mesh. The accessories are made of the new linen Kayla pumps from Hucci, a purse from LaGyo and the Jewels are a mix’n match from Je Suis, Zaara and LaGyo.

If you are looking for a very sexy but classy set of lingerie, I strongly recommand you to pay a visit to Zaara as the new Chanchal is in store and comes in nine different colors, including classical or more daring ones. I have picked the mocha. As you can see in the above picture, taking a look at the back is really worth it as the little blue details of the face are used for the satin fabric of the back.

Africa 80

Hello,

What do you do when you have new khaki shorts by Zaara, a new skin from Dutch Touch, new shoes from MIEL and a new hairstyle from LeLutka? Well, I don’t know about you but I went on a safari!

I admit I’ve taken my inspiration from a picture by Nedeko Kohime. I am a big fan of her photography work. Look, I’ve got the same necklace from League!

Taupe and the Silk Kerchief

Hello,

The Secret Store is finally being invited at The Dressing Room Blue and of course, Maylee Oh couldn’t just make a great skirt based on her latest release, she had to make a most awesome one! I am totaly in love with the print of the fabric, with a Art Nouveau feeling, rich colors and a silk effect. The skirt comes in two options, with and without a bow belt. I don’t know if the skirt will be avalaible when the TDR Blue closes its doors so you have to grab it NOW! For 60 L$ only, you have to get it!

I probably won’t have much time this coming days so i’ll cheat a bit and will already propose this post for the Taupe week of the 52 Weeks of color challenge. The star of this post is the skirt but the brown accessories and background are allowing to show the best out of it. Taupe is a great color, it is elegant and can be easily warmed up by small hints of more vivid colors. I am using it a lot in my outfits for these reasons.

Some words about the bag. I saw it first on Whimsy Winx’ blog and immediately Teleported to the shop to get it. It is a new release from the well known japanese creator June Dion of B@rerose. June offers us quality designs for very cheap prices. I often use bags coming from this shop as they are original with great textures. They come in several attachment points and in this case, you even get a smaller bag to use as a clutch for a mere 120 L$. It is not to be missed if you’re looking for nice accessories at a low price.

Parisienne Boho

Hello,

There were several new cute releases this week-end, including two Dutch Touch Skins, MensJe and MegAn, and a Mimikri dress, emily, which has a vintage boho feel to it. If you are part of the Dutch Touch VIP group, the MegAn starterpack in cream is only at 400 L$. No idea how long it will last but it is worth to run to the store to get the deal. The skin is cute with far set eyes, tons of options like 3 eyebrows colors, freckles, moles, cleavage.

I’ve been walking for some hours wearing this look, with those great MIEL boots, color changeable to fit about anything, a clutch and matching tights from Croire but there was something missing, hair. I’ve tried several different styles, but I was not happy with what i was finding until I saw an advertizing for Plume, a new hair shop by Fauve Beaumont. Fauve is proposing us original couture styles, with accessories like this cute hat for the Parisienne coiffure, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the look.

The Seasons Hunt was launched on saturday 15th January and will last for two whole weeks. I am not really into hunts, I can even say I am boycotting some of them for several reasons but in this case, I have to admit I am very pleasantly surprised as the designers have been very generous and are offering us awesome items, like the So Many Style Fur Shrug. Believe me, you want to look for it, but be warned, it is a well hidden one! One of the things I like about this hunt is you don’t have to find the gift in one store before being able to move to the next one. If you join the in world The Seasons Hunt(ers) group, you can find a notecard in the notices with the landmarks to the participating stores and tons of help from lovely people. So, you can choose to only visit the stores you like when you don’t have much time online or give a try at the whole list, which is really worth it.

Hello,

As you can see, I am still playing with the fabulous hair from Dernier Cri. The top is part of an outfit from Epic, which appears in SL’s Virtual Fashion Lookbook for Fall 2010. To celebrate, there is a 50% off sale on all the clothing featured in the lookbook. I have to say I didn’t know that store before. It is full of cute fairy and faun fashion. The skirt from SMS is available at The Dressing Room.

Iki Ikarus has once again spoiled the Dutch Touch VIP group with a preview of the upcoming skin: Josje. This skin is described to be a girl’s next door rather than a beauty queen but i bet a lot of people would like to have such a cute neighbour!

New at Dutch Touch and Aoharu

Hello,

one more new face has arrived at Dutch Touch this morning, Xaya. As always, you can find the powdered effect which caracterizes Dutch Touch Skins but this time, the nose is very different. It makes me think of a rose bouton, cute and round. The way it is drawn is pretty special as I don’t remind me having seen anything like this in the past. There is only one eyebrow option, so this skin might not suit every color of hair though the tone chosen is not too dark. I’ve picked the basic make-up (750 L$ with VIP group instead of 1000 L$) which depicts best the work on the other details of the face. If you’re looking for a fresh face, Xaya might be the one.

As Xaya has that sweet fresh touch to it, I thought new releases from Aoharu were perfect for the romantic nostalgy of The Far Away Sim. While the shirt is nothing very new from Aoharu, just a declinaison of what was released in the past, the lace skirt is pretty cute and the Anexx Cowboy boots are great looking with fancy details and realistic fringes.

Now… the little rant of the day… while it is convenient for people who have no idea about how the basic building tool is working, I hate resize scripts. I am not even wearing jewelry and I just cannot TP away with this outfit. Avatar rendering cost 7714! Ever heard about lag? Remove the boots => down to 4066. So wear those great boots, look good with them and don’t try to do anyting else, anyway, you will lag your hell out trying to do anything with them. Remove the shirt => 2928. Remove the skirt => 1353 ! BAN RESIZE SCRIPTS! Thank you! Seriously, prims and sculpies are already enough resources eater without adding useless scripts to the count.

Eighties

This week’s Themeory project is about the eighties. I was still a kid and young teenage at that time but when i see some fluo colors, it immediately reminds me of those times, mainly fluo pink, which used to be my favorite (young girl, you know…) I had a lot of fun putting this look together, so i hope you’ll enjoy it too.

Yes, i am still wearting the Sylvia Hairstyle from Truth, i just seem to be unable to get it off. The skin featured here is not new, it is Cleo from Dutch Touch but the punk touch was just what was needed. I’ve got several colors of Fishy Strawberry’s leggings, they are so great and often complete a look perfectly when you don’t like too nude legs. I am using some more of the black bargains from The Plastik, with the Saturday miniskirt. The pink top and black shoes are from Maitreya, one of my favorite shop thanks to the awesome quality of their products.
