#419 My body is here but my heart is at the beach

Today I am bringing you brand new items from Mesh Body Addicts Fair, Collabor88, Uber, FaMESHed, The Aloha Fair & The Gacha Garden.  I am wearing the LAQ head, Trinity, along with a Glam Affair applier. 

My shorts from Mon Cheri for Mesh Body Addicts Fair come in a whole heap of pretty colours, each with a separate belt with a texture change hud.  You can buy them in a fat pack or singly but you get an extra colour if you buy the fatpack.  I love the frayed hemline, the textures are very realistic and the fit absolute perfection my Maitreya Lara

My necklace and earrings are a brand new set from Cae for FaMESHed and I love love love it!  I have one very like it in real life, but this is better because it comes with a wonderful texture change hud - I wish they would hurry up and make them in real life!  The necklace is actually 3 in one, as you can use the hud to hide any of the three for different looks or to work with different tops.  My bracelet is also by Cae for The Gacha Garden - the bracelet itself is free, and the charms are won on the gacha.

#509 My name is ZsaZsa, and I collect body parts

Today's post brings together items from Collabor88, Cosmopolitan, Season's Story and Indie Teepee.  I am wearing Trinity, the first mesh head from LAQ, along with their Camille applier.

Yes, I am an addict, I can't help myself, the second I hear of a new mesh body part, I start twitching and it gets worse till I get my grabby little hands on it and can start playing with it. Trinity is a pretty head, as is the Camille applier (there are also a number of old LAQ skins which have been updated as appliers).  Both the hud and instructions that come with the head are very user friendly, and I was able to get the head in a wearable state within a minute of taking it out of the box.  The hud is pretty minimal compared to the Catwa huds, there are options for hair base, eyebrows, eyeshadow, lipstick and freckles, and a small number of expressions.  My first impressions is that I like Trinity, but don't feel "me" in her, and I can't see her beating my Catwa heads to become my #1 go to head, but who knows, that might change with further updates/options and skins.

My top and pants have a vintage vibe that really appealed to me, and are both available at Collabor88.  My jewelry is brand new from Izzies for Season's Story, and I thought it went perfectly with this outfit.  My shoes are new from from Essenz, also from Season's Story.

#432 My hair isn't messy, it's just erupting with awesomeness

I had this post almost finished, but then I saw this absolutely gorgeous hair from Elikatira at this month's FaMESHed, fell totally in love and just had to wear it. I love the dark roots, the asymmetrical volume and how it is loosely pulled together at the back with a ribbon - I have included a back view at the bottom of this post so you can Nataline in all her glory.

My dress from Just Because is available at Uber and comes in a fantastic selection of colours, but today I decided to go with black. It is beautifully made as you would expect from Annie Melson, with it's realistic creases and long soft cowl neck.  It fits my Maitreya body like a glove and is also compatible with Belleza Venus, Freya and Isis, standard mesh sizes and Slink Physique - even including the new Slink Hourglass.

I coloured the ribbon tie in Nataline red and textured my gorgeous pumps from Glamistry with a flash of red too.  The pumps, as always, come with Glamistry's revolutionary hud allowing you to purchase additional colours from the comfort of your own home.

#429 Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness - and selfies

(with apologies to John Keats)

I am again wearing the group gift skin from LAQ which I blogged here, but this time I have added some of their make-up tattoos which give it quite a different look, but just as pretty.  My hair is new from Elikatira for Shiny Shabby - I can never have too many relaxed, messy kinda pulled back-a-little do's, and I love Miya as she is all of these things.

My spider rain necklace is a special offer for 60L weekends and is available in 3 different packs, each with an extensive texture change hud.  If you hurry you will hopefully still be able to pick them up at this discount price.  

I have decided to do the little black dress thing today as it is something I rarely wear, so it makes a nice change.  I love the classy silk and velvet dress from Basta! which also comes in a range of other deep rich colours, exclusively at The Showroom.  My shoes are new from KC Couture, only available at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair and are absolutely stunning (see close up below).  They are compatible with Slink, Belleza, TMP, Maitreya, N-Core and Eve, and come with KC Couture's amazing texture change hud.

My pose pack is from Repose and includes 5 poses and 5 camera props, two of which I have shown here.

#428 Free skin and a great sports bra

My skin today is the current free group gift from Laq, and I love her fresh prettiness.  The group is free to join, and you get all 7 tones in the gift, so nothing to lose, everything to gain! 

My sports bra top is a new mainstore release from Just Because and as you would expect from Annie Melson, it is rigged to absolute perfection.  It is available separately in a  great selection of solid colours and a few patterns, or in a fat pack including additional patterns which are not available separately.  I can see me wearing this a lot as it is so easy to wear and looks great,  I have teamed it with a wardrobe staple, my L& B skinny jeans, and my favourite sneakers from KC Couture.
