Asparagus and Ecru – 52 Weeks of Color Challenge

Hello,

Asparagus 2

I’ve been a bit slacking on Luna Jubilee’s 52 weeks of colors challenge these last few week so I’ll try to make a post that counts for two: Ecru and Asparagus. Actualy, the vegetable is either ecru or green and the combination of colors works pretty good together.

For Ecru, I’ve picked a cardigan from Naith Smith Designs, the one kind everyone has in his closet for that time of the evening when the air become a bit more fresh. I’ve also purchased those great boots from Coco which are available at The Dressing Room for only 50 l$! I know you’ve seen them already a lot on the feeds today but seriously, if you haven’t been there to get them yet, you’re missing something.

Asparagus

For asparagus, well, i’ve cheated a bit. The clothes i’ve been chosing are missing that tiny bit of yellow that would made them really asparagus but confession of a fault, is half amended, well I hope …

Sn@tch is a store which has been in Second Life for a very long time with weekly new releases. It is a place I am often visiting for great basics or when I want a look a bit more grunge. In this case, I am using the Gilda top with lovely flower patterns. The skirt is a new release from League, it has the perfect length to be very sexy while not giving you a bitch look. Miel has released new scarves for yesterday Fifty Linden Friday. They are color changeable and will complete a lot of different outfits.

Asparagus 3

The Luka hairstyle is fun and young, it is Exile’s offer for Project FUR Japan, a charity organized to benefit the animals which are also suffering from the disaster.

In this post, i’ve been using three items you have already seen everywhere on the feeds. That is also an interessant part of fashion blogging, to see what people can do with the same items, creating different looks. And when those items are awesome, there is certainly no reason to look them down.

French Girl Cliché

Hello,

French Girl

I wanted to blog the new Les Bleuets jacket from The Secret Store since its release one week ago but I couldn’t find a look I liked with it and which hadn’t been blogged yet by others. With the new Tatum hairstyle from Truth, the cliché french girl became obvious. Let’s say she’s going to buy a baguette on a spring sunday morning.

French Girl 2

The Secret Store is offering the scarf belt in blue as a Lazy Sunday item and it is coming soon to the store in several colors aswell if you missed it. The jeans and the bag are Fifty Linden Friday’s deals from Milk Motion. The jeans were still available this morning, you might check and grab them. the skin is a VIP group gift from Exodi, another preview of the upcoming Silvan.

As a side note, I am having serious connection problems lately and were not able to take as many pictures as I wanted. I might not blog for several days, as I will be unable to take pictures during evenings. Time will tell …

Best of 2010

Hello,

Best of 2010

As we are narrowing the end of 2010, time has come to look backwards at what was achieved during this last year. I have started the blog only in May, since then I have written 149 posts, this one being the 150th. That is 150 different outfits, made of skins, hair, shoes, clothes, accessories coming from so many fabulous designers. Among all those items, I have picked some of my favorite to present you this look as a review of what I liked best in 2010.

Best of 2010 Close-up

I would love to see which items you liked best from your blog aswell. So, feel free to work on the same idea and please post a link to your blog as a comment here to let me and others who might be interested know what you’ve done.

Skin: [PXL] Kasumi SK RoseLips by Hart Larsson. I actualy had a hard time choosing the skin, not that i had a doubt it would be a PXL but because I couldn’t decide between Candy, Dafne and Kasumi, three skins i love for different reasons. I’ve finaly picked Kasumi as i haven’t removed it since its release in November, for the skin whore i usualy am, this is a record!

Eyes: L.Fauna Charm Eyes [Gemini 1] by Launa Fauna. Simply the best eyes i’ve been giving to try. I have been testing many others but I always come back to these. The reflection, the size, the color, it has all what I am looking for.

Eyelashes: :: Exodi :: Makeups – Eyelashes – Glamour + prim eyelashes from the skin packs by Ryker Beck. The ones I never remove, easy to fit, rather realistic, the nightmare of eyelashes made easy.

Hair: Exile Serana/auburn by Kavar Cleanslate. I could have picked a lot of different styles from different brands, all styles i wear of a frequent basis but I’ve picked Serana as I’ve used this style in some of the posts I prefer. It has a sexy movement perfect for photography.

Top: Maitreya Bodysuit de la Ruche – Golden by Onyx LeShelle. I could have chosen shoes, hair or jackets but i went for this bodysuit. I have it in several colors and it is a great basic for lingerie or top. A piece of clothing I am using a lot.

Shorts: *Fishy Strawberry* Billy Denim Shorts – Garage by Fae Eriksen. I’ve been wearing those shorts in several posts. Casual and sexy without showing too much they have the perfect length for me.

Tights: Maitreya Allure Stockings – Neutral03 bye Onyx LeShelle. I cannot count the number of posts where i have used those tights. This color or another one.

Gloves: gants moi by Yung Back. One of my oldest and trustworthy friend here. The only girl i will ever call “Mamour”. I don’t think the gloves are for sale, sorry.

Belt: Nyte’N’Day – Ginger Belt – Burnt/Black Studs by Nyte Caligari. A timeless hand-crafted studded casual leather belt you can wear with skirts, pants, anything.

Earrings: p.c; Organic Hoops by Cora Lu. This fall, Paper Couture has once again spoiled us with a fabulous collection, full of fantasy and originality. These Organic Hoops are fun very large earrings, so large it is one of the rare pair you can wear under long hair and still see them!

Necklace: (Kunglers Extra) Bambu – necklace – natura by AvaGardner Kungler. An elegant with a vintage touch necklace which should compliment many cleavages.

Bracelet: ::je::suis::africain::bracelet by Julia Merosi. The africain set is an ethnic jewelry ensemble you can customize with myriads of possibilities as you can color its beads and other parts to match about any outfit you might wear.

Sunglasses: [Gos] – Custom Sunglasses v3.2 BUTTERFLY by Gospel Voom. Great shoes, great sunglasses with perfect sculpties and the respray technology allowing you to get several colors of a small price in addition to the basic price.

Bag: (Milk Motion) My leopard bag by Marie Lauridsen. I got this bag at one of the Fifty Linden Friday’s. You may like or hate this kind of events but some of the designers are offering us real gems.

Boots: {mon tissu} Provence Riding Boots ~ Chestnut by Elie Spot. I love boots, I cannot resist them! I have way too many already but I will still have to purchase the last ones. Though these boots from mon tissu have rapidly reached the top of my list. The sculpts and textures are perfect and they are not loaded with plenty of scripts and prims that cause you to lag so much you cannot teleport anymore. If you have to choose for one pair of casual yet elegant boots, these are the ones!

Poses: Diesel Works by Rogan Diesel. I’ve used those poses a lot lately as they have some movement without deforming the body too much.

Location: SaliMar. I’ve taken several pictures there last summer. It is a lovely mediterranean village with art exhibitions and a touch of fantasy. A perfect place to discover alone or with that speical someone.

Last but not least and not on the pictures but you just have to have a look at my previous posts: Mayle Oh from The Secret Store! She has rapidly become one of my best friends here. Always supportive, always positive. She has a great sense of styling and her creations are what i am looking the most forward for 2011!

Bye bye,

Ribbon Sweater

Hello,

Maylee's Choice 2

Just a few words to tell you about my new addiction: The Secret Store and the awesome clothing you can find there. I am wearing here the latest Sweater in White. The ribbon which decorates it is adorable and the textures effect on the sculpty gives it a mohair warm and comfortable look. For only 150 L$, you have to get one!

Disapointed

Tanaquil playing with shadows 3

Sometimes, you think something will help you a lot, make your work so much easier and when it actualy is there, you open wide eyes with horror, realizing you were so wrong and that actualy, it is not helping at all but maybe even making it more difficult.

Tanaquil playing with shadows 2

That is what SL shadows are for me at the moment. While the atmosphere of the pictures is better, i have to sacrifice quality to enable shadows. So far, i haven’t been able to have them with anti-aliasing on, which gives horrible jagged edges. I had to blur all the lines and edges to make them smoother. And anisotropic filtering is just a big NO if i don’t want my screen to turn all black.

If you have a closer look, you’ll also notice the shadows are pixelated, you can see rows of squares becoming lighter.

It looks good, if you don’t pay attention to details or are looking at it from far away. I guess i need to train and get my hand at it and play with the settings to have better shadows but so far, i am a bit disapointed.

On the contrary and let’s now talk about fashion, i am not disapointed at all by this week’s Project Themeory: Fall Festivale. The clutch and skirt are from Milk Motion while the adorable Happy Find’s owl pendant is simply a must have!

The other day, i’ve read on Grazia Horwitz blog that Janie Marlowe from Mischief was back on the track with a new store: JANE. I’ve found at her shop some very cute pieces of clothing. Here, you can admire the aviator jacket which unfortunately hides a bit an awesome lace babydoll. It is definately a place you want to check for reasonable priced clothing.
