#497 ZZ makes a decision

Because the slave typist behind ZZ hasn't been well this week, ZZ has been bored and chomping at the bit to get some blogging done - though I notice she has not spent any of her spare time constructively - for example in attempting to sort out the chaos that is her inventory. 

Today I am sharing some goodies from FaMESHed and The Tropical Summer Fair.  My hair is brand new from Elikatira for FaMESHed, and available in Elika's great selection of packs, all containing a great selection of solid colours and ombres.  My necklace and earrings are both by RealEvil Industries for The Tropical Summer Fair and come with a hud allowing a variety of textures to choose from.  

My shoes are new from KC Couture and come with their extensive texture change hud and range of sizes.  My dress is new from Lavian, and comes with a hud allowing a huge selection of colours and textures for both the main dress and the sheer overskirt.  As always, Sam Jones's eye for texturing really shows, but left this poor little Libran in a quandary as to which to show.  This quandary was quadrupled (say that quickly 6 times) as this dress also comes in 3 more packs.  I think I need to go and lie down in a quiet room to get over the trauma of being forced to make a decision.  I am Libran, after all!

#492 A tale of skulls and roses

Mentioning this first as my hair is a special for Fifty Linden Friday, so won't be available again in this pack after today. You get a great selection of colours in this Exclusive pack so this isn't to be missed.   

I am wearing a new Catwa head today, which is Alice - I fell in love as soon as I tried the demo, and think Alice may become my go-to head.  I am also wearing a skin applier from a new-to-me designer, Insol, and I really like it, particularly the freckles options, I do love a good freckle :).  I am a bit of a mesh head and applier freak now and love trying new ones out, but it sometimes takes me a while to feel "me" in new heads and/or skins, but this combo felt just right.

My original mesh dress is another lovely release from Entice, and is currently available at Tres Chic.  It fits beautifully on my Maitreya Lara mesh body.  You can buy the dresses individually, or in sets of 3 with a hud, or as a fatpack.  It was really hard to choose between the prints and solid colours available but I eventually settled on this one because my inner goth approves of the skulls amongst the roses :).

My shoes are brand new from Essenz for Shiny Shabby which opened today (20th) - and good luck if you try to get in during the first few days rush!

I just wanted to mention that Nantra are currently having a mega sale, so if you are a pose-a-holic like me, it is a good time to get some great poses at a fantastic price.

#443 Greetings from Persnickity

It's a long time since there was such a gap in my posts, but I have been ill irl - I am still not 100%, but trying to get some blogging done. I am not really in a very festive mood in either life, with this being my first Christmas without my mum (though she was in hospital last Christmas), and doubt I will decorate in either world.  For this reason I "borrowed" my friend Pet's Christmas shop as my backdrop.  Take a visit, she has lots of cute Christmas decor at extremely reasonable prices.

My fluffy jewelry set is by !IT! Indulge Temptation and comes with a hud allowing you to change both fluffy balls and metals.  This is available at the White Elephant Gacha Fair where you will find more goodies from IT in shop, but this set is their gift which you will find under the tree along with gifts from other designers.  The White Elephant Gacha Fair started on Dec 5th and continues till the 26th and there you will find lots of goodies  to buy and gachas to play, along with the exclusive gifts you will find under the tree.

My dress is new from DE Designs and can be bought separately or in a hud controlled fatpack. You get two dresses in each colour - a plain one and one with lacework as I have shown - I love the rib knit texturing.  It is compatible with all 3 Belleza bodies, Maitreya Lara, both Slink bodies as well as standard avatar 5 sizes.

#421 Elikatira for Fifty Linden Friday

This is a very very quick post as Elikatira have one of their fab exclusives available today for Fifty Linden Friday.  This pack/selection will never be on general release, so today is your only chance to grab it.

The pack includes 20 shades in the pack - 12 solid colours and 8 ombres, I have given you a selection of ombres above and solids below.  They are all lovely, but I must admit that I particularly love the pastel ombres

#395 Elikatira for Fifty Linden Friday

I have put this post together very hastily as this is a bargain you won't want to miss.  

Elikatira have the gorgeous new Yumiko hair pictured above in a new selection of colours called "Exclusives", available only for today's Fifty Linden Friday.  Elika will release Exclusive packs only for special things like gifts and events, so after today you will never be able to purchase Yumiko in this pack again.

You get all the colours and ombres pictures below for just $50L - so stop reading, and run!

Belleza Fifty Linden Friday 5 July 2013

Just a really quick post to show Belleza's Fifty Linden Friday goodie for this month - it will be at the normal price of $250L tomorrow. The normal Belleza skin tones are available, this one is the tan version.

I have removed all other make-up (apart from her eyelashes, she refused to remove them), and her earrings and scraped her hair back so you can just focus on the skin.  I think she is incredibly pretty and fresh faced.
