Leri Miles at the Rock Attitude Fashion Fair

Elusive


Elusive


Elusive



This lovely dress is Leri Miles item for the Rock Attitude Fashion Fair.  It comes in 8 colours - blackberry, blueberry, espresso, grape, lemon, sage, strawberry and teal.  The fabric is rich and beautifully textured, and my photos really don't do justice to how pretty this dress is, so please go along and take a look yourself.

I have teamed the dress with some heels I found on MP, from a new-to me-designer,
Leverocci - I have shown just a few colours but the fatpack contains 14 colours for just $800, with both platform and non platform options in each colour.  They are add-ons for SLink medium feet, so amazing value.

The RAFF is on until April 11th, is really well organised, and has loads of the best known designers on the grid taking part, so you really don't want to miss out on it.  The website can be found here.  Go, just go, you really don't want to miss this one!

I wanted to do a quick post today as the last one took me so long to put together.  This is my first post wearing the new fitted mesh, though early on I blogged the Redgrave "Liquid Mesh" jeans which I absolutely love.  Anyway, I was looking forward to trying the new stuff - and so far, so good. This dress just slipped on so easily - no tweaking, fiddling, adjusting to be made - bliss!

Just in case fitted mesh doesn't work for you, you get both the fitted mesh and normal 5 sizes in the pack for this dress, along with a colour change hud.  I pulled on my favourite Mutresse boots, and went for a walk in a peaceful Japanese garden - I was so lazy I even resisted the urge to change the boot textures to match the dress!

One thing I really love about blogging is how a post can emerge from the smallest item - this time it was the Adoness mermaid eyes from the current round of Genre, and the Hopscotch poses also at Genre .  Although I don't do that many fantasy posts, I really enjoy the challenge and have great fun putting them together, but they take a lot longer than an ordinary post, at least for me.  This one involved days of hunting for various bits and pieces to wear, though I did pick up a lot at Genre, and then scouting round for somewhere to do the shoot (not to mention a whole abandoned shoot because I wasn't happy with the photos)

The mermaid eyes are also available in violet.  The poses come with the trident props, and in versions for both legs and tails - there are five poses/props as shown in the first photo and collage.

Moulin Rouge meets Video Games


Satine

Satine


This gorgeous mesh gown is the Sakide item for Moulin Rouge which opened March 15.  Also available in black, the colour is beautifully rich and as always with Sakide, the texturing is faultless. 

As this gown exudes old Hollywood glamour, I paired it with one of my favourite ever hairstyles, which was the Truth gacha prize at a previous round of The Arcade.  My skin is my newly discovered favourite from The Plastik at The Skin Fair, which I first drooled over here, and which I love so much I might never take it off!

One reason I love the huge events in SL is the discovery of new creators - and although Plastik is not a new name for me, for some reason I have never really looked at their skin range.  That changed the second I tried on a demo of this skin, Astrali, which is exclusive to the Skin Fair 2014, and is absolutely beautiful.  I love every tone without exception, and there is not a single thing I dislike about Astrali.  Two problems I have with a lot of skin ranges in SL is that a large majority of them look too young on me, and the lips - not so with Astrali, I feel very comfortable in her, and the lips are perfect!

There are 7 tones to choose from, I have shown 6 of them in the basic skin, and then Jaxis with a few of the multitude of make-up options.

Each skin pack includes mote than enough goodies for you to make Astrali your own:

3 skins (basic, toned down and cover-up)
15 make-up tattoos - freckles (including some full body) , lips, eye shadow 
8 eyebrow shapers

Also Wearing:

Hair:  Truth

Ailis for the Luck of the Irish

“Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.” - George Bernard Shaw







The mesh dress and wings shown here are both from [ SAKIDE ] for the Luck of the Irish gacha event, starting today.  

You win one pair of mesh wings per play, there are 11 to collect in total - 9 colours plus two rares which give you the option to change poppy colours via hud (the white and black shown above are rares).  All give you the option to resize, hide/show the poppies, and add glow.

There are 9  dress colours to win, including a hud to change the colour of the bells and show/hide them.  The rare win is all the dresses in one hud. Tango appliers are included with each dress, and thankfully so are system undies to spare your blushes  :).

Spring iz Sprung

Spring has Sprung

"Spring iz sprung, the grass is riz
I wonders where the birdies iz.
They say the birds iz on the wing.
Ain’t that absurd?
I always thought the wing waz on the bird."
(depending on source, either Anon or Ogden Nash)

Spring has Sprung


Today I am showing another of Candace Hudson's gorgeous mesh and flexi mixes.  This is the Hudson's prize for the aptly named Megastuff Hunt, which is a combination of Menstuff, Womestuff and Homestuff - more info on the hunt can be found on the Womenstuff website here.   My sandals are no longer available in this colour as they were part of the 21 Shoe! event where the shoes are only available for one day.  However, there are plenty of other colours available in the ::HH:: Hucci main shop though.

Pensive in Pink

“For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.”

Walking in the Rain

"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet" - Roger Miller

Rain


I love rain, and that includes walking in it, or if it is too heavy to walk in, watching it from the inside, feeling cozy. So when I saw this coat from Leri Miles Designs at the current round of Designer ShowcaseI hunted for an umbrella prop I knew I had in my inventory.

For this post I set myself a challenge - to make it a one picture post, and taking just 5 to choose from - well I made it, but it was a struggle. 

The coat comes in a myriad of colours - well, ok, 16, so almost a myriad!   It is beautifully textured, the colours are rich and the combinations striking.  My scarf is from the latest group gift at Hudson's - it is unisex, comes with a beret, and both are texture change.

Stilna at FaMESHed

Stilna


Stilna


Stilna


I can't imagine there is anyone in sl that doesn't love Mutresse - they are one of the small group of designers I never bother with a demo for, because their mesh is so beautifully made that even if I have to tweak my shape a bit to fit, it is no big deal and well worth it.  

As it happens, this dress fit like a dream right away.  It is as always, a uniquely wonderful piece of meshwork, with a hud allowing you to customise the many different dress parts to your heart's content.  This dress is currently available at FaMESHed.
