All that Glitters

The dress I am showing you part of is from Just Because for Fameshed and comes with a glitter and solid one in each colour.  The necklace from my set, also available at Fameshed, comes with one of Cae's great huds giving you not only loads of texture change options but also allows you to hide any of the necklaces so it fits easily into any outfit.

Floating

The cloud Zsa is floating on is the Seeds of Insiration prize when you play the Hopscotch gacha at Gacha Garden 20 times - the other prizes are rezzable clouds in lots of cute shapes.

My jacket/tank and jeans/capris are from RealEvil Industries. The jacket comes with an integral tank, and the jeans can be switched to capris with a click of the hud, so it is a really versatile outfit.  The textures are flawless and I am sure this is an outfit I will wear to death!

My nail and eye make up are both from the new round of Applique, which opens tomorrow, the 11th, and my lips from Alaskametro were at On9 but will soon be on the marketplace.

My eyes are from the brand new set by Avi-Glam, Melancholia, available at Sad November.  I am wearing the Lapis on my Catwa eyes using my Omega applier hud.  I didn't think Kendra could out-do her Serene eyes but she has, these new eyes are truly stunning.

I have changed my hair for the close up simply because I love this new hair from Exile for Collabor88 so much that I couldn't resist wearing it although I had already taken the full body pic with different hair.

Today's very belated (due to rl stuff) post brings together items from Uber, N21, One Word, Inspiration SL and Cosmopolitan.  This includes new dress, new hair, new eyes, new eyeshadow and new shoes.

Yet again Annie Melson has pulled it out of the bag - this dress is sheer perfection right down to the smallest detail - the zip, the folds and creases, all make for an incredibly realistic, beautifully crafted piece of mesh.  It is available in Annie's gorgeous palette, and comes with intrinsic panties which you can switch on or off (I recommend on, particularly if you fly round sl most of the time like I do!).  You can find this dress exclusively at Uber.

My poses are from a new set by Nantra for OneWord, it includes 6 posts plus mirrors and I thought I would show you a few. 

My gorgeous eyes are from a new set released by Avi-Glam for Cosmopolitan.  I have loved Avi-Glam eyes since the moment I found them, and am always amazed at how Kendra Parfort can top the last release, but this new Serene range is even better than her previous releases!  I have added the advert pics so you can see their gorgeousness close to.

#528 Route 66

Doc Eldritch of DE Designs has released a new pair of leather pants for We Love Roleplay - in my opinion Doc's leathers are some of the greatest in sl, and these are my opinion the best he has ever done.   The texturing is superb and I particularly love the lace detail on the front - both lace and hardware can be changed via hud.  You can choose from 6 colours which include huds to change the laces and hardware, and during We Love Roleplay there is a 25% discount.

 I have teamed the pants with a cami/corset from Just Because - it is one of Annie Melson's older releases but still works really well. You have a choice of leather or lace and you can wear the corset alone if you feel daring!

 My shoes are brand new from Essenz - two colours were available for the Monthly Midnight Madness event at the weekend.  They are no longer available but the full release is, and I am showing you one of the colours from Hud 1.  

My lip applier is, as far as I am aware, Aina of Indulge Temptation's first foray into make-up/appliers, and comes in 3 different palettes plus a free gift at the new-to-me event, Beauty Me.  I certainly hope Aina does more make-up!  My jewelry from Meva is a firm favourite when i want something bold.

#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.

#520 In summer the song sings itself

Today I bring you a bundle of sumptious goodies from Mesh Body Addicts Fair, plus more from The Aloha Fair.

I was pleased to see DE Designs taking part in the new Mesh Body Addicts Fair - Doc has quite a few items for sale there, but I am showing you one of his exclusive items.  I fell in love with the dress in the texture I am showing here - it looks all bright and flowery till you look a bit closer :).  The dress is available in Doc's rich deep solid colours and a variety of patterns.

My necklace and earrings are just one of the packs available from Indulge Temptation at The Aloha Fair, including a gift (quite a few of the designers have gifts available so it's worth taking a look).  I am wearing the new head from Catwa, Destiny, who is exclusively available at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair.  Out of the box, I really like Destiny and I was able to wear my applier from Insol without any problems at all.

#495 Real Beauty

.....knocks you a little bit off kilter - David Byrne

If I was told I could only wear one outfit for the rest of my Second Life, I would choose this one.  The top and bottom are from two of my favourite SL designers, Doc Eldritch and Annie Melson, and are such a total pleasure to wear.  I fell in love this brand new shirt from DE Designs the minute I tried it on, and was trying to decide what to wear with it, when I remembered a previous release from Just Because that I hadn't yet blogged - these gorgeous suede pants.  

Both top and pants come in a plethora of colours, and are as good as it gets with fitted mesh, and both fit like a dream on my Maitreya Lara mesh body.  The textures are incredible, the creases and folds giving a truly realistic appearance.  Ok, I will stop there before I overdose on my own adjectives!

#487 Don't threaten me with love, baby...

.....let's just go walking in the rain - Billie Holiday

ZZ was doing some exploring today and found herself on this rainy city sim, realised she had no jacket with her and had to phone a friend to come and rescue her before the rain ruined her new tank from DE Designs.  It comes in a selection of plains and patterns of which I have shown just a few.  I just love the criss cross detailing - I am sure there is a better word but it's late here and my brain is only about 27% awake, so criss crossing it is.

I am in love with this new hair from KoKoLoReS, which will be available at the next Hairology which opens on the 10th.  ZZ is wearing the balayage hud.  In case you have not heard the word before (as I hadn't till I got this hair pack), it is French and means to sweep or paint. This gives it a more natural sun-kissed look which I really like, very gentle soft waves.  Other huds are available if you prefer them but I really love this look, and with any of Sisch's huds, you get a fantastic selection of colours.
