#480 The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it

Joan Rivers 

This post has taken me way longer than it should have, because I was doing it as a home & garden/fashion mix, even took all the pics, but then decided I hated them, binned them and am doing the two posts separately.  As you can see, ZZ is still having fun messing with her mesh heads, and took advantage of this great new pose pack by Nantra for The Instruments.  It comprises 6 poses plus mirrors, along with 2 mobile phone props with mirrors. 

These new ones capris from Doc Eldritch made me squee a bit, because I love capris and have struggled to find just the right pair - and now I have!  They are really well constructed, with realistic creases and shading and come in a great selection of colours (individual or fatpack), with a hud to change hardware and belt texture.  They are compatible with all the major mesh bodies (demo first of course!) plus classic avatar.

My shirt from Just Because comes in a plethora of beautiful colours and is compatible with Maiteya Lara, both Slink bodies and all the Belleza bodies.  Both of the designers featured have colour palettes that I adore - nothing so bright you need pixel sunglasses to look at them, but deep, rich gorgeous tones.  Add that to their fantastic original mesh builds and superlative textures, these are both designers I would recommend to anyone.

#457 The future belongs to those who believe

...in the beauty of their dreams - Eleanor Roosevelt

I get such a kick out of being able to play with shadows!  I still have a lot to learn, and a lot of playing with Lumipro too, so my posts are taking a little longer than usual to finish, but hopefully in the end it will be worth it.   

My skin is new from 7 Deadly Skins at The Makeover Room.  My outfit comprises 3 items from Lavian's new capsule wardrobe, Claudia.   I absolutely love the selection of textures and colours that run through the set, accessible via hud, meaning you can mix and match to your heart's content.  I have shown two options from just this top, skirt and shoes.
