Oops, I made a Mesh!

Get it?! I'm so clever! Except I didn't MAKE this mesh... I'm just wearing it. Whatever.

ANYWAY! I am wearing mesh in this outfit! Can you spot it without looking at the credits? Here, look at the full outfit:

If you said pants, you're totally... WRONG! Ok, now I'm just being obnoxious. It's MAH HAIR! I skipped over to Wasabi Pills and picked up a few demos of their mesh hair. Only a couple really worked on me, but I loved the starkness of this style. I don't really have anything like it, believe it or not. Mesh hair is... OK. I have to admit, I probably wouldn't choose it over Truth 99.999999% of the time. But it was something different and fun! Here's a close-up:

Making Meshes:
Skin: Filthy - Laika
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Sebastianne (Mesh!)
Top: COCO - White Tank Top
Pants: League - Zipped Leather Pants (omgah, <3 )
Belt: L&B - Death Skull Belt
Shoes: MStyle - Alah Wedges

Hey, guys! Truth District is having a sale! So is Ricielli! Go go NOW! xoxo

More Maitreya Mesh:

Oh, I have no doubt this blog will be full of Maitreya mesh in time. Don't get me wrong, there are some good mesh products out there that aren't Maitreya, and I will feature them, too. Celoe (Lelutka/mon tissu) set the bar by presenting beautiful mesh, and (in MY opinion), Maitreya raised it. I present you with the beautiful Athena sweater, and the Radical Boots! Both mesh, both amazing.

Maitreya Mesh:
Skin: Filthy - Laika
Hair: Truth - Velvet (CUTE HAIR ALERT!!!)
Top: Maitreya - Athena Sweater (mesh!)
Pants: mon tissu - Lou Lou Jeans
Shoes: Maitreya - Radical Boots (mesh!)
Earrings: Magic Nook - Baroque Earrings


I have to give props where they are due, and I know I blog Maitreya often, but they have a commitment to quality that I respect very much. They are certainly not the only ones. I could rattle off lots of designers who I believe foot the same bill... and on this blog, I have. See you guys again soon! xoxo

Black on Black

This one is mostly about the hair. Lots of bloggers have featured it lately, and I am just one more added to the list. It's Truth. Of course. It comes with and without bangs, and the big, messy bun on top reminds me of a "sock bun". (Elle knows what I mean!!) Also, I reeeeeally like this one.

What is it:
Skin: Filthy - Laika (new on me!) <3
Hair: Truth - Leesa (so in love with this!)
Tank: mon tissu - Joli Beaded Tunic
Pants: Ison - Leather Leggings
Shoes: BAX - Black Leather Boots
Earrings: Mandala - Luck
Tattoo: Chelle - Songstress

Also, has anyone else noticed the influx of leather pants from designers lately? I got three pair in one night because I couldn't decide which I liked better. (I'm a fashion glutton, what can I say?!) In the pic above, I'm featuring the ISON leather leggings, which I think are absolutely gorgeous. If you've never stepped into ISON, please do yourself a favor and go right NOW.

And... I admit my avatar used to wear way more tattoos than I do now. I like them, for the most part... I'm just WAY lazy about adding them to outfits. Except for the subtle gem I'm wearing across my collarbone up there. I love that one. Thank you, Chelle! xoxo

It's the Gospel Truth...

Let's face it, ladies. We all know that Gospel Voom has some seriously serious awesome shoes. When I first saw THESE.. I had to have them. When I got around to fitting them to my avi, and it took very little effort so I was very pleased, I knew exactly why. I think they're awesome! Socks are color change and the boots can be worn loose or fitted. In this pic, I have them fitted. Soooo precious!

And THEN... look at the gift Truth gave us! One of two new 'dos released by Truth Hawks this past weekend. Oh, I got them both. I'll blog the other soon! This one is Andrea, and she makes me feel oh-so-pretty!

Preach it, sister:
Skin: Filthy - Laika
Hair: Truth - Andrea
Top: Echo - Sweater Green with Stripes
Pants: mon tissu - Lou Lou Jeans
Shoes: GOS - Aviator Boots
Earrings: Magic Nook - Vintage DJ Earrings

Also, I got these earrings at The Dressing Room, and they have been one of my favorites since I purchased them. Little records dangling from my ears! *squee*! xoxo

HAPPY NEW YEAR... and other stuff!

The official Happy New Year photo... autographed copies on Marketplace! (not really, for those of you who just blinked at your screen)

Queen Elle is in a 50L Friday (RIP!) dress she picked up from Tres Blah. Princess Laryn is in the Sequin Scoop Dress by League. I loooove them both!

And now for more!

Speaking of 50L Friday, Kyoot always had some precious stuff, including this awesome sweater! I liked it so much, I picked up two... yeah, I was THAT girl. Also, I couldn't survive a winter (I've had them since Dec 2009, I believe) without these Kookie boots. Love them!

Kyoot stuff:
Skin: Filthy - Jasmine
Hair: Truth - Clara
Top: Kyoot - Simple Cozy Sweater
Pants: Kyoot - Zipper Cords
Belt: Mandala - Kookai Belt
Shoes: Kookie - Pomski Boots

Oh, wait, there's more!! (You're welcome!) Did someone say badass?

Another gem I've had in my inventory for quite some time is this awesome leather jacket from Grasp. I have tried on other leather jackets, but this one, in my opinion, kinda tops them all when you're looking to be a badass.

The outfit:
Skin: Filthy - Jasmine
Lipstick: Pink Fuel - Glam Lipstick (comes with Elly skin)
Hair: Magika - Distracted
Dress: Sticky Fingers - My Black Sweater Dress
Jacket: Grasp - Black Leather Jacket
Belt: L&B - Death Skull Belt
Socks: League - Thermal Long Socks
Boots: Kookie - Armarda Boots

Hope your last night of 2011 was awesome, and I hope the start of your 2012 is more-so. UPDATE YOUR VIEWER!!! xoxo

Merry Christmas!!!

First, I'm going to post my photographer's LOVELY "Merry Christmas" picture of herself as my gift to you! (SHE is frighteningly precious!!)

Elle Kirshner:

And second, I just want to say a thing or two about mesh. I've really been digging back through the blogs for cute mesh stuff I want to go try on. I think for a long time, I resisted because I was worried I would actually like it... and I knew people weren't updating their viewers. Well, now I'm no longer concerned. If I look like I'm wearing luggage or a donut to them, they're the ones missing out!

If you're reading this and you haven't updated to a mesh viewer, you really need to. Phoenix, Firestorm, and the regular viewer all have mesh enabled. Please do yourself a favor and update. Maitreya upped the anty (yet again), and there is only more brilliance to come, I am convinced of it! I'm just looking out for YOU, dearest reader! xoxo

Well Played, Maitreya... well played

Ok, so just when I began to wonder if anything would get me into the mesh game... in walks this incredible offering from Maitreya. I was in awe. I'm just... WELL, LOOK AT IT!!! Absolutely gorgeous.

Mesh Me Up:
Skin: Filthy - Jasmine
Hair: Exile - Gwen
Dress: Maitreya - Mesh Nolita Dress
Shoes: *GF* - Strap Shoes "Alex"
Jewelry: Earthstones - Lia Necklace and Earrings
Makeup: Elly - Juicy Gloss (Apple)

Ok, so a few additional things. One, I think this blog will be more consistent in the coming months. I took a month off and feel much more refreshed! TWO, if you don't have a mesh enabled viewer, get one. You have no idea what you're missing, for serious. You can expect to see more mesh treasures as I stumble upon them. And THREE, I am proud to welcome a new photographer on board in the form of Elle Kirshner. I'm so excited to be collaborating with her!!! So... I hope you run out and buy this new dress. It's not cheap, but totally worth every penny. xoxo
