Sunday's Feature: Elymode

I'm sorry I was away so long, but I have a few things lined up for you this week.. and I'm excited about them!

For starters: Elymode has come up with the Vita line that allows us to mix and match several colors. The outfit includes a plunging neckline top, a mini skirt, and a beautiful cinch. I've shown you a couple of possibilities in these pictures. It's really a must-have item to round out your mid-summer wardrobe, and it's sexy to boot!

Mix and Match with Elymode:
Skin: Lara Hurley - Claire
Hair: Truth - Amelie
Top: Elymode - Vita Almost Open Top (Coral)
Cinch: Elymode - Vita Cinch (Olive)
Skirt: Elymode - Vita Mini Skirt (Coral)
Earrings: Mandala - Tokyo Neon (Limited)

Go pick yours out.. like.. right now! xoxo

Truth: Lacey

There's no telling how many times you'll see me blog Truth hair. He's simply, in MY opinion, the best there is in SL. There are a lot of hair designers I like, but Truth has the best selection, the best movement, and the best texture out there.

That being said, he released two new styles this week. "Bree" is a very precious side ponytail... and "Lacey", which is what I took pictures of. I love the sweet curls, the little headband (you can change the color of!), and the texture going on here.

IF you've been living under a rock and haven't tried on any Truth hair, you'd best make your way over to check his designs out. A-maz-ing. xoxo

And because dorky smiling avis make me laugh...

Spotlight on: Elate!

Seeking precious little dresses? Seek out Elate! My first Elate purchase was the Felicity dress (Seen below in Ice). Let me make something clear.. unless it's jeans, maybe shoes, I *rarely* buy anything more than once. I am not "that girl" who has the same dress in 5 colors. The Felicity dress? I have it in 3. Yes, I love its fun, frilly sexiness THAT much!

As for the Eve dress... I kept eyeing it every time I'd go to Elate. It's different than what you see everywhere else and I was worried about how it would look ON me. However, as you can tell, it fits just fine, and the design lines up very well.

Felicity:
Skin: Lara Hurley - Claire
Hair: Head Mistress - Sex Symbol
Dress: Elate! - Felicity
Shoes: Maitreya - Allegre

Eve:
Skin: Lara Hurley - Claire
Hair: Truth - Kalista
Dress: Elate! - Eve
Shoes: BAX- Prestige Boots

So, give Elate a look or 5... it's totally worth it! xoxo

Fashionably Late

The Chic Sim has a new addition! It's a collection of designers that are participating in their "Fashionably Late" project. The one I'm highlighting is from Fishy Strawberry. The top? 50L! The skirt? 50L!! -And I'm not even a bargain shopper!!! I do love stumbling onto them, though... so I pass them on when I can. ;)

Chic One:
Skin: Lara Hurley - Claire
Hair: Truth - RiRi
Top: Fishy Strawberry - Gleam (Fashionably Late)
Skirt: Fishy Strawberry - Sequins Gradation Skirt (Fashionably Late)
Shoes: Maitreya - Allegre (YUM! ...I still love these shoes!)

Happy Friday! xoxo

Daisy Chain!

Ok, so not really a daisy chain, per se. Though it is fitting when I'm blogging about Elle Kirshner. She's my girl sweetie!

I was recently the lucky recipient of a free pose gift in SL. As much as I'd like to say "look at ME, I'm so special!", it can be yours, too. Pulling Strings, the pose shop of Elle Kirshner, recently passed along this absolutely precious set of poses free to her group members. Join now (it can be accessed via my profile!) and collect yours from the past notices. Do it now.. I'll wait.

Three of the 5 poses included in the gift (and yes, she provides the daisy!):

She also released two other awesome pose sets this week... but for these, I will use her awesome vendor pics. She loves me, so it's ok!

"Free Falling" and "Loves me, loves me not" can be picked up at Pulling Strings and/or on The Marketplace. You know you want them!! xoxo

Spotlight on: Jeans!

Everyone has their favorite designers for jeans. I thought I would point out a couple of mine! This isn't my last word on the subject, as I have a lot of favorites, but I had to start somewhere and I began by showing some off for boys and girls... because I bribed Oded to help. :D

I'm starting with League. Nena Janus does an awesome job with jeans. Her Ripped '78s are awesomely textured, and she also offers this particular line in a male version. Oded and I are showing these off in black, but there are other colors available.

Did you know that most jeans work for both male and female? Perhaps you did, but it's something *I* never thought about until recently. This next pair being shown is one of my *absolute* favorites. They're the [mon tissu] Lou Lou jeans. The shade being shown here is "Used", and honestly, these jeans are truly some of the best I've found in SL. AND.. they work for ME and Oded! :)

... Oded was cranky that I had him wearing "girl jeans"... but they don't look half bad, I'd say!! xoxo

Spotlight on: MichaMi

I've known about MichaMi for quite some time, and I have enjoyed the designs immensely. Lately, however, Milla Michinaga has come up with the most divine dresses. My renewed fascination started with the print dress she released a few months ago:

However, she has put out some seriously sleek little dresses lately. Here's a taste of them, but I urge you to go check out MichaMi's main store to see what else is offered. Thank you, Milla!!!

I Could EAT Them!!

The new Allegre shoes by Maitreya are just so yummy. One pair will set you back 975L, but look how pretty!!! I'm wearing them in black, but they have several color options available... all equally delicious!

Mmm, shoes! xoxo

Hair Everywhere!

...Not sure about that blog title.. but eh, I'm not feeling particularly creative about it right now. ANYWAY, I made it to the Hair Fair, and I've decided to blog the three styles I was most impressed by:

Number One: SLink - Angel

I *love* a well-done, sleek bob. Especially angled. This one is, well... perfect, in my opinion.

Number Two: Magika - Luna

It's just long, wavy, and sweet. I love the braid incorporated into it, too.

Number Three: Lelutka - Knotted

I think this is a beautiful and creative updo. Love the wisps around the face, too!

There's definitely a lot worth seeing this year, so get over there when you can. Remember to watch those scripts to reduce your lag! xoxo

Truth District!

I finally (mostly!) made it in! It's very laggy right now due to all the pretty pretty girls and boys teleporting in and out. Your best bet to reduce lag is going to be bald (wear a hairbase if you wanna!), shorts, t-shirt... no shoes! Watch those scripts!

Anyway, I want to first say it's really awesome being surrounded by MANY of my favorite stores/designers in one place. It's going to end up being a one-stop destination for many SL fashionistas, I'd say. -Myself included. I popped in and out of several stores, and picked up the freebies from:
GoS
Truth
Michami
Grixdale
The Sea Hole
DCNY
Erratic

They are all precious, of course, so it's a good idea to join the Truth District group so you can get them, too. Below is a taste of what YOU can acquire if you do. ;)

What's This:
Skin: Lara Hurley - Claire
Hair: Truth - Becky (Truth District Freebie!)
Dress: Michami - SitC (Truth District Freebie!)
Shoes: GoS - Espadrilles (Truth District Freebie!)
Earrings: Magic Nook - Vintage DJ Earrings

What's That:
Skin: Lara Hurley - Claire
Hair: Truth - Becky (Truth District Freebie!)
Top: Grixdale - Print Tank (Truth District Freebie!)
Skirt: Grixdale - Lazy Denim Skirt (Truth District Freebie!)
Shoes: GoS - Espadrilles (Truth District Freebie!)
Earrings: *LC* - Chic Earrings

Three cheers for Truth District! xoxo

Hot Saturday Fun!

Update!!

I haven't been super-inspired by anything the past couple of days EXCEPT: Hair Fair opened today! If you want to try before you buy, just join the Hair Fair Demo group. You can access it through my profile if you need to. I have it listed. (Laryn Teardrop) You can go into "Notices" and snag the demos of the hair you want to try. So far, I've been most impressed by the Magika and Elikatira [e], but Lelutka has some nice stuff, too. I am still trying the demos on, so we'll see how many $L I can keep in my pocket. My bet is not many...

ALSO!!!

Truth District is open. Truth Hawks, our beloved hair designer, has opened a sim chock full of awesome designers. Here's a list, in case you haven't seen it:

AddiCt
Curio
DCNY
Ducknipple
Earthstones
Erratic
Glitterati
GOS
Grixdale
INDI Designs
Je Suis
League
Leezu!
MiaMai
MichaMi
Miel
Mudhoney
Nardcotix
NSD
PXL
The Sea Hole
Trompe Loeil Prefabs
Truth Hair
Whippet & Buck

I have a feeling I will be inspired by some of the group gifts I can get there... but getting there seems to be half the battle! Hoping to have a super-awesome update for you by tomorrow afternoon or so!

Happy Shopping! xoxo
