#524 Do You Remember?

Today ZsaZsa is showing items from Mesh Body Addicts Fair, Hairology, Shiny Shabby and Designer Circle, along with a major mainstore release.  She is wearing Catwa Destiny mesh head with a Glam Affair applier and Maitreya Lara mesh body.

I am happy to show the latest mainstore release from Just Because, the Tess Tank.  It is a beautifully made piece of mesh, with realistic creases and folds, and a cute tie scrunching up the tank at one side.   It comes in a range of colours, or a hud operated fatpack.  I've chosen this gorgeous burnt orange shade and paired it with another of Annie Melson's creations, the Jen capris, initially available at N21, but now available in the mainstore.  I have continued the earth/neutral theme with the capris, and finished it all with a pair of Essenz's new release which is available at Shiny Shabby.

#461 Waterfalls by Da Vinci

I'm back!  This has been my longest blogging break ever and I missed it more than I would have guessed, but my unexpected hospitalisation and recovery really took it out of me, and frustrating as it was, I needed to take the time to get well.  Anyway, that's the boring stuff over with, now to the first new blog post of the many I have lined up (I might not have been blogging but I cheated a bit and was spending a little time squirreling away in the background, setting up some posts).

My dress from Lavian & Co is so cute, and comes with their extensive texture change hud allowing you to mix and match the top and skirt textures independently.  There are 3 versions of this outfit available, all with different skirt textures.

I love love love these new boots/shoes from K C Couture so much!  They are original mesh, compatible with Maitreya, Slink, Eve, Belleza and TMP bodies/feet, and are available exclusively at the Tres Chic event.  They come with KC's fantastic texture change hud, which not only gives you tons of texture change options, but also the option to wear cute frilly texture change socks if you wish.  Click here for a close up.

#454 Happiness is....wearing a pretty dress (especially this one!)

Today's is a very quick post as the promo on this dress I am showing you is this weekend only.  First though, I make no apologies for wearing Amacci's Simon again, as I am totally in love with the style.  The variants hud I have gives you so many fabulous texture choices but I think I have found my absolute favourite in this gorgeous purple/pink fade.

 Onto the dress, which is on promo this weekend for just 99L - it is a seriously cute original mesh dress (one piece), available in two packs, patterned and plain.  Each pack comes with a hud giving you a choice of 30 textures, a few of which I am showing you here from each hud.  What I really love is the ability to change the top parts separately, so there are endless combinations available.  So, original mesh, 99L for 30 textures, and also so many fits that you are sure to find whatever you need - I chose the Maitreya fit which fits like a glove over my Maitreya Lara mesh body.

In the patterned dress pics I am wearing one of my favourite Elikatira styles, and have chosen to be blonde again.  My shoes are a new release by KC Couture for Tres Chic, and they come with their usual plethora of fits, and with their fantastic texture change hud.  I absolutely love these heels, and am sure I will wear them again and again.

#452 If your heart is a volcano......

.....how shall you expect flowers to bloom? - Khalil Gibran

Zsa is busy moving into a new home and wanted to be comfortable, so is wearing her old faithful jeans from Lapointe & Bastchild, which are still pretty much her favourite jeans ever.  She has teamed them with an easy-to-wear halter top from Baby Monkey (which comes with a colour change hud) - although this only comes in standard sizes I didn't have to alpha out a single cut, it fits perfectly on my Maitreya Lara mesh body. 

My sneakers from K C Couture are another wardrobe staple, and come with KC's fantastic texture change hud. My lovely pony from Amacci is just perfect, and comes with two bang options.  I had fun using their "crazy" hud and really love this pretty blue fade - I might try another crazy colour soon :).  

This is my first real location shoot now that I have a pc that can handle it.  I am having fun exploring and finding places I can use for blog posts.  Big yay!

#446 Love all

....trust a few, do wrong to none - William Shakespeare, All's Well that Ends Well

Today I am going blonde again and sharing Elikatira's new hairstyle which is available at Hairology - this is such a pretty hairstyle, lots of gentle waves and little wisps, casual and relaxed without being messy.  My lovely new skin is from WoW and is available at Designer Circle in 6 tones.  

Onto my outfit - I have never blogged anything from Flippant before but have seen a few of their items that I really liked.  This outfit comes with a texture change hud allowing you to change the texture of skirt, top and shoes (which I am not wearing) separately.  My boots from Baby Monkey come with a texture change hud allowing for separate parts to be changed with a choice of 9 basic colours plus gold.  The boots are still on their new release wall so are still 50% off for group members.  There is also an expansion hud of animal prints available. also currently half price for group members.

#440 Look what else I found in My Attic, November edition Part 2

l am back with a bevy of goodies from the current round of My Attic at the Deck, but firstly I must mention my skin which is a new group gift at Lumae.  You get every tone in the pack, along with every applier you could ever want - and an added bonus for this redhead (usually) is that Lumiya includes ginger and red brow options and freckle options too.

My hair is one of the goodies from this round of My Attic at the Deck, and like everything during the course of the event, it is just 95L per hud.  I have very little experience of enVogue but I love, love, love this wonderfully high and exquisitely coiffed updo - I will definitely be watching out for more from them.  My dress and shoes are also available at My Attic, both from Fission and both in an array of colour choices.  The final My Attic element in this post is the pose pack from Kirin which I had fun playing with.

Not at My Attic, but definitely worthy of a mention, are my necklace and earrings which are from Indulge Temptation and currently available in 7 different hud versions at Designer Circle.  As with everything I have tried from IT, they are beautifully crafted and the huds make it so versatile.

#433 No two persons ever read the same book....

...Edmund Wilson 

When I started putting this look together, I found Zsa had a kind of book nerd look going on, so I hunted for book props in my inventory, found this set from Picture This, and we did the shoot.   However, I then found myself unable to find a current slurl or mp store for Picture This, so I am wondering if they have closed down. I will continue trying to locate them and will update this post if I am successful.

Anyway, onto the clothes.  My necklace and earrings set are new by Indulge Temptation for Designer Circle - there are 6 different huds to choose from - I say buy 'em all while they are discounted!  Indulge Temptation are fast becoming a real favourite of mine for jewelry, and I will definitely wear these again and make sure the earrings are more visible because they are really pretty.

I am wearing a skirt and sweater from Baby Monkey, both of which come with the special Baby Monkey basics hud which includes 9 classic, wardrobe staple colours - I have included the ad for the outfit below, so you can see what you get in the pack and what great value it is, particularly as both pieces are compatible with Maitreya, Belleza and Slink as well as fitmesh and standard sizing.  I am wearing mine on my Maitreya Lara and they fit like a dream.  Oh, and skirt and sweater can be worn separately.

My shoes from KC Couture also come with a humoungous texture change hud with 40 choices (if Zsa tells you I had to get my calculator out to work this out, don't believe her!) for each of 4 shoe parts - so basically any colour combo you want, you will be able to create it.

#362 Franky Happens

Today's outfit is comprised of two original mesh separates from Ducknipple which come with a great texture change hud allowing plenty of customisation.  I am wearing them on my Maitreya Lara mesh body and only very minimal alpha tweaking was required. 

I am a big fan of asymetricality (no, that isn't a real word but it works for me) so I really appreciate the design of this jacket, it's got everything going for it as it has studs and zips as well as being asymetrical.  It comes in five sizes plus fitted which I am wearing. The tank comes in the same range of sizes and is separate to the jacket so you can wear either on their own.  They come with a hud allowing a choice of 12 colours for each.

The pants fit really well too, come in 5 sizes and a choice of 12 colours via hud. I like the length as I sometimes find that pants are either too short or too long.  These are just right and would work well with boots but I have paired them with one of my favourite pairs of sandals from KC Couture, which also come with a hud offering 40 different textures for each of four shoe parts.

Finally, my skin, another of Sawsan Secretspy's gorgeous new faces, Kimm is debuting at Designer Circle this month in a choice of five tones.  The lips are "just enough gloss but not too much" in a beautiful delicate pink shade which goes so well with the touch of delicate blush on Kimm's cheeks.
