Maitreya + Truth

That's like saying "peanut butter and chocolate" to me. It's such a yummy combination! This weekend, Maitreya released some basics that I am soomgahsuperexcited about! Jeans, boots, leggings, and my personal favorite has to be the mesh skirts available in tons of colors and three lengths! Below the knee, above the knee, and mini. Yeah, I can see myself needing several of these...

And now to Truth. Mr. Hawks treated us to 3 releases this week. Two are mesh, and one is not. All are very cute. I'm featuring the Savina here.


This Stuff:
Hair: Truth - Savina (new!)
Skin: Glam Affair - Leah
Top: Decoy - Manzano
Skirt: Maitreya - Mesh Pencil Skirt Lth2 (new!)
Shoes: GField - Alex
Pose: LAP - BG1 - Barbie10

Ok, so I've linked you to Truth's Truth District store, because he puts his new stuff there, too, and it's usually way less crowded than the big store. If you want to check all his stuff, though, just go here.

Aoharu Trench

I got this trench coat a while ago, but kept forgetting to feature it. Isn't it precious? Aoharu has some pretty nice mesh stuff, so I urge you to go check it out! But, as always with mesh, remember to grab a demo first!


I feel a little bit like Twiggy here. <3

Leah!

No, I couldn't wait. Trufax, I wanted to show you guys NOW. This is Leah by Glam Affair. Really, I'm going to let it speak for itself.


The rest of me:
Hair: Shag - Pussy Galore
Top: Kyoot - Chain Thread Top

Conspiracy!

I have decided that there must truly be a conspiracy amongst the skin designers in SL to rob me of my lindens. *hangs her head in shame* Over the past two weeks, I have bought THREE new skins. Fatpacks. And I love each one of them. Two from Dutch Touch, and one from Glam Affair. I've told you about the Dutch Touch skins, Puk and Esmee, and the Glam Affair skin is all over the blogs right now. It's called Leah. I will feature a photo of me in it very soon. It's so gorgeous.

I'm offering a very fun look today that I totes took from another blog I read! I often pull looks from other blogs, but I don't blog them myself. However, as my focus was on this skin and the skin looks so cute here, I couldn't resist. Check her post out for more adorability! (It's a word, I spelled it!)

So, anyway.. here's another look at the Puk skin. Leah to come! <3

Insomnia Post!

Hi! It's 3:30am 'round here and I can't sleep, so what better way to spend my time than showing something off to you guys?! I. Am. In. Love. Yes, to be fair, it is another new skin. I know you guys are never suprised when I say that, but I really mean it this time! (What a total skin whore I am, I know!) I have a pic of the full outfit, then a close-up on the face. You know... faceshot.. moneyshot? Did I mention I am way tired? Eh. I chose a random location (ok, not that random... it's on Elle's extra sim she uses to build and blog!) and just snapped a pic for you! So forgive the background.


Ohhi, Pretty:
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Kumi
Skin: Dutch Touch - Puk (Preview pack for VIPs!)
Top: {mon tissu} Lycia Tank
Shorts: League - Booty Shorts
Shoes: Maitreya - Flip Flops (I have been wearing the hell out of the flip flops lately!)
Pose: Pulling Strings - Casual Chick 6

Let me chat a bit about this skin. It's called Puk by Dutch Touch. I don't have an LM to give you yet.. maybe in a previous post. I was too tired to go grab it. LAZY BLOGGER ALERT! Puk is, at the moment, only available for Dutch Touch VIPs. It's 250L to join, but I have used it on two of their gorgeous new skins in the past week, so it's been well worth it. This skin changes my look, but I really, really like it.


JUST LOOK AT IT!!!! GAH! Elle is working up an even better, more detailed close-up of it, but I wanted to share! Ok, I'm going to go pass out in bed now. <3

Top: Emery - Plaid Plan B
Pants: Bliss Couture - Boyfriend Jeans

Fashion for Life is underway, so make sure you go check it out. There are so many designers! It definitely takes more than one trip to hit all the sims involved.

Esmee and Exile

I know I've been lukewarm about Exile in the past, but let's face it... Kavar Cleanslate has done some of the best mesh 'dos on the grid. It's time I showed him the props he truly deserves. That said, I'm showcasing one of his new styles, along with the amazing Esmee skin (again!). I'm totes in love with both!

Pants: Bliss Couture - Tutu Paint Stain Jeans

Damnit.

I think all skin designers are conspiring. Yes, they've all decided that NOW is the time to release awesome skins that Laryn can't possibly choose between and has to BUY ALL THE SKINS! Here's a peek of the Esmee skin by Dutch Touch. Just beautiful!


I'm wearing it in the Peach tone, which is the only tone offered at a discount to the VIPS (250L to join the group), and just happened to look the best on me.

Also, have you checked out the Whore Couture Fair? There are lots of tiny things for a girl to wear! It is fun to look around and there are a lot of designers involved, so check it out! Here's a pic of one of the dresses I bought from Rock Me Amadeus (RMA), but really, it's just me showing my noob skills in Photoshop.


This also shows off the new Truth hair, Lykie. It's mesh and very pretty!

Skin: Dutch Touch - Esmee (NEW!)
Hair: Truth - Lykie
Dress: RMA - Knit White Dress (Whore Couture)
Shoes: SLink - LuLu Stilettos
Pose: Pulling Strings - Sassy Chick 2

We're #2!

Hiii there! I neglected to mention Elle and I entered a photo contest... and won 10,000L! It was for the Le.Look sim and we had a lot of fun with the concept. I loved the simplicity of it. I give all photo credit to her, of course!


Feel free to tell me whatcha think! <3

Business as Usual

More ColdLogic! Yay! I really think Celoe did such an excellent job with the Lolong trousers, but ColdLogic took the concept of slacks and made them friendlier for the average avi. I love, love, love these pants. And the shirts they made to go along with them? Fabulous! I feature them in this sexier-than-average "business" outfit:


Close up on the shirt:


And when the day is done and all you want to do is relax:


Go Here:

Hair: Truth - Barbara
Skin: Aura - Briar
Top: ColdLogic - Clark
Pants: ColdLogic - Mazza
Bra & Panties: Fishy Strawberry - Soignee
Shoes: Slink - Lulu Stilettos
Additional Credits for Pic 3:
Hair: Truth - Tammy
Socks : Maitreya - Scrunched Primsocks

This outfit was a really fun one to mess around with. There are so many possibilities with these slacks and shirts. I have them in several colors!

Oh, and March Mesh Madness is going on! Magika and Wasabi Pills have some cute hair, ColdLogic has some stuff worth checking out, as well as Jane and other designers! XOXO

Let's Chat...

FIRST... ColdLogic = Awesome. Beautiful basics all in mesh. I'm going to show off my first purchase that I was crazy about, with more to come! I kinda feel like I stepped right out of the 70's in this jumper, but I think it looks comfortable and fun:

Earrings : Mandala - Luck

But now, I feel compelled to discuss something with you all. I've seen a disturbing trend in mesh wear the past couple of days. If you've tried mesh, you understand that you're probably going to have to modify yourself just a bit. I have two shapes. I have my "normal" one, and I have my "mesh" one. I've done very little modification to the mesh shape so that everything is proportionate when I put on mesh. That would be the key word: PROPORTION. What I've been seeing, however, is that some would rather have pants that look too big than to modify themselves just a smidge so they can fit themselves into the size that looks right on their avatar. In my opinion, this defeats the entire purpose of mesh. Mesh is supposed to make smooth lines and move with the body. If your pants/shirt/dress are too big, you're not really "doing it right", and that's a shame because mesh is amazing!! (And I will take a picture if I see another avi like this because it looks ridiculous!)
