Rise against the wind

Today I bring you brand new items from Tres Chic, ULTRA, Collabor88 and Whore Couture.

I have been running round in this outfit for about 3 days, unable to find poses or props that felt right, till I went to Tres Chic and saw this prop set from Frozen.  it comes with 5 poses and 5 kite props.  I LOVE this Teefy top for Collabor88, so much so that I keep running back to pick up another colour while they are still at C88.  I am a huge Lapointe & Bastchild fan so I ran very quickly to pick up these boho style jean shorts from ULTRA, and I am not disappointed, they fit perfectly and I love the texture change hud they come with.  

I did tell Zsa that kiting should not really be done in high heels but as always, she wouldn't listen.  Her shoes are brand new from Essenz, and to seek them out I paid my first ever visit to Whore Couture.  I was actually flipping between C88, home and Whore Couture while working out which top and shoe choices I liked best.

Bits n Pieces

If an item is for sale at an event, I give the slurl to that event.  However in case this blog post is read after the event has finished, I also include the slurl to the mainstore.  

All Slurls are current at time of posting.  If you are unable to find an item, or need help with anything I have blogged, feel free to send me an email, inworld IM or nc, or a plurk (all links on contacts page).

I wear a mesh body, head, hands & feet in all posts. I use alpha cuts where necessary, and if I can't get an item to work with my mesh body, I will neither wear it nor blog it  Most items I blog fit various mesh bodies and/or feet, and often classic avatar standard sizing and/or fitmesh. Please make sure to demo anything you see here that you are thinking of buying to be sure it works for you.

#220 Rocking out at Collabor88

I dont usually bother trying to get into events the first (or second or third!) day unless there is a special reason - well this month's Collabor88 gave me a reason for fighting the crowds and lag - vintage!  l am a huge fan of vintage/retro clothing in sl, particularly anything Rockabilly or 50's related - in my first sl incarnation over 7 years ago I spent months and months trying unsuccessfully to find vintage clothing - I am so glad things have changed!

Anyway, today's outfit is pretty much entirely from this round of Collabor88 , shirt, hair, shoes!  I was particularly excited about the flatties, I have been hunting for SLink compatible flats just like this, and bonus - bones!  Sorry, that was my inner pirate speaking.
