# 279 Fade to Grey

I love this cozy sweater, a new release from .:AVALE:, but couldn't find anything in my inventory that I liked with it (not the sweaters fault, more that I lost around 7000 items from my inventory the weekend before last, so I really didn't have anything to wear with them).  However,  I saw that Baby Monkey had released some new leggings and boots (along with quite a few other winter-friendly items), and went along to check them out and yay, they worked perfectly!  As with almost all Baby Monkey items, they come with a fantastic texture change hud giving 32 different colour options.  And members of the group get everything half price for the first week.



Here is a close up of the boots, which I think are my new favourites, and my nails from Maia Gasparini of Hello Dave - if you aren't in her VIP group, you should be - she is incredibly generous with group gifts.  In Maia's packs you get not just the two huds for manicure and pedicure, you also get a "both" hud, which definitely makes my life a little easier when putting a look together.

My hair is by Leyla Flux of KoKoLoReS who is one of the sweetest people I have met in sl, and also one of the most stylish as can be seen on her blog here.  This is one of her new hair releases which comes in a great selection of colours, and my lipstick is one of hers too.  

My skin is another new release from .::WoW Skins::., this time for the current round of Fresh Style and comes in a choice of milk, tan (which I'm wearing), bronze and dark tan, each for just 99L. Appliers are available separately.  I am really loving the freshness of Sawsan's recent releases and am looking forward to what she comes up with next.

#243 Tricia feels Cherished

The Hair Fair 2014 goodie I am showing today is from a new-to-me store, +elua+, and I love everything about it.  The textures are beautiful, as is the detailing on the plait, and the little wispy hairs around the face and ears just set the whole "do" off to perfection.  I am sure this is one I will wear again and again.  Below I show two more views to give you an idea of how pretty this hair really is.  I chose the red pack which comes with a hud giving you a choice of 5 textures, and you also get 2 hairbases.

My necklace and earrings (sold separately) are new from Maxi Gossamer at FaMESHed , and I think it is actually my favourite ever release from Maxi, and considering how often I wear her jewellery, that is really saying something.  You get 4 very different earring options in the pack, and a necklace and choker in that pack, all with texture change options for beads/metals.

I have chosen to wear Has Been's new release which is being debuted at a new event called Fresh Style, with this hair as I was feeling a kind of 60's vibe with the slight beehive, so this really cute mini with matching shoes in all kinds of candy/ice cream colours just seemed perfect.  The dress is fitted mesh and comes in three sizes.  

The dress comes with a hud allowing you to choose from 12 texture options, with the ability to change 4 parts of the dress separately - for some reason the shots that ended up here all show bodice and skirt parts the same colour but you can have them different colours - I was just playing with colour options as I took shots.  The shoes come with a hud giving the same 12 texture options, and the ability to change 6 different parts of the shoe separately. 

Check out the official Hair Fair 2014 website here for up to date info on this event you really don't want to miss.
