#236 One day left for Lapointe & Bastchild Fashion for Life exclusives

This will be my last Fashion for Life post as it closes tomorrow, the 20th.  I just had to show you these truly fabulous capris from Lapointe & Bastchild - I have been on a quest to find capris that I like for about two years, and here, I finally found them - thank you L & B! 

There are two exclusive editions - the candy version (with 8 texture choices) I am wearing here, and a denim version (which has 6 texture choices).  Neither will be sold again after FFL. so if you are a huge Lapointe & Bastchild fan like me, waste no time, run and get yours before they are gone forever!

I absolutely love this top from FireBird Designs for the Thrift Shop.  It comes with a texture change hud with a great selection of textures (16) and I am actually wearing the fitted mesh version - only the second time I have been able to wear fitted mesh without it looking very odd on me. So yay!

My sandals and jewellery are both from the lovely Maxi Gossamer, who continues to put out some of the prettiest jewellery and sandals in sl.  The jewellery can be found at the current round of Collabor88.

#223 I Hate Mondays (even on a Saturday!)

As someone who has dreaded Monday mornings since my school days, this Monday Haters chair made me smile.  It is a beautifully made collab between Kuro and Breno and comes in  dark, light, stained and white, with a choice of three "coffee flavoured" textures for the seat  cushion.

The chair comes with five fun anims, the one above is called Noooo, and I so know how that feels when you want to hide so you don't have to start your Monday!

Today I am wearing some of my favourite items from my inventory and one new addition, which is the fabulous jacket which is FBD's item for the Style Icon Fair.  I am wearing the silver but it is also available in gold.  Each gives you two options - one with and one without the shirt - I am showing the "with" option.   I absolutely love the detailing and particularly the texturing on the back - it is certainly befitting of it's baroque name. The jackets cost 199L at the event.

ZsaZsa goes Wild

"Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god". Aristotle 

I am crazy for anything to do with cats, so fell in love with this outfit which is from FBD and costs just $249L at The Fantasy Fair.  You get the whole outfit including skirt, socks, hoodie, arm warmers, boots and nerd glasses, which are so cute.  

I decided to go down the jungle path for this post - my handsome furry friend was a VIP gift from WetCat a few months ago, and was helping me find my way round.  We had a good chat but when he realised I was a vegetarian he decided I wasn't really an ideal hunting companion, as veggie burgers are apparently rare in the jungle, so he disappeared off through the trees, leaving me to find my way out of the jungle alone.  

The outfit is of course 100% faux fur, and no pixels were killed in the making of it :).

Spiked

Today's jacket (which includes the top underneath) and mini skirt are from FireBird Designs for the latest round of Feeb's Rascals.  

The pack also comes with high heeled open toe boots, but I am wearing my Ducknipple Mesh Meine Boots instead.  The boots from FireBird are really cute,  but I have to confess to now being totally lazy when it comes to skin matching huds - I was never very good at it to start with, but am now completely spoilt by the Gos and SLink matching systems.  I have also added a pair of sweater tights from Sn@tch.

The Meine boots come with a texture changing hud, and I have included here a sneak peak of each of the colours available.

Cowly Cosiness from FBD

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home” - Edith Sitwell

I love this cozy mini from Firebird Designs for Feebs Rascals which comes with 4 different with/without belt and with/without cowl options, as shown in the collage.  The boots come with the outfit and the whole thing fits like a dream.

My skin is the current group gift from WOW Skins.  The group costs $300 to join, but as well as the current gift, you can pick up the group gifts for the last year.  There is also a wall of group only lucky boards and MM's, all of which give quality gifts.

My snowflake earrings also come with a necklace and are just $10L under the Christmas tree at Izzies, along with some freebies.  The poses are from one of two sets by Aushka for the current round of Acid Lily.

I love a happy headband!

“When I was 17 I made these headbands, and I would sell them to stores. I would sew in these flowers with fishing line. I'd match them with everything, like with my sweater and eyeliner" -  Kim Kardashian

I love these Christmas light headbands from FBD, so decided to show you them all - they are from a gacha at the FBD store - 40L each play (mod/trans) or you can buy the fatpack for 299L (copy/mod) - which I think is a great idea, I wish more places gave that option.  I have given a link to the store in the credits below, or you can buy the fatpacks on marketplace here

There are two sets of headbands, one with just the lights, and another with the lights plus antlers - I wanted to show you them all but Zsa wanted to go and listen to some blues and rebelled, showing how she felt in the photo above.

She had a point as I have spent ages on this small post, redoing the shoot 3 times (and that included changing the colour of the earrings 3 times too - I love texture change stuff but sometimes I do create more work for myself!).  So after that and playing with effects, we were both pretty cross-eyed, so I gave in, so there is just one antler shot, and Zsa got to listen to the blues.

These headbands are really cute, Zsa will probably wear some of these all over the holiday season - but don't tell her that or she might fear another long shoot and end up cross-eyed again!
