Where are they?

Whoops

Anyone who knows Zsa, will be aware that she has a bit of a house obsession in sl, and is forever changing homes.  So when I saw this set from Reina Photography I just had to use it.   Zsa actually thinks I have arranged for removal men to help her unpack but I forgot, and they just dropped her boxes outside her new front door.  Whoops, sorry Zsa🤭.

At least she looks good

Zsa's gorgeous blouse is brand new from Just Because at Uber, as is her earring and necklace set from Cae.  The blouse comes in a beautiful selection of colours, a separate print pack and a fatpack which includes both plains and prints.  The choice of prints is wonderful, making it very hard for this Libran to decide which to wear.  There is also a hud included to change the colour of the strings and toggle them on and off.

Zsa's pants are a brand new mainstore release from Blueberry, and come in the usual cutibootie and Blueberrybootie choices, and a huge variety of denim and leather options.  I particularly love the creasing on these, so realistic and easy to wear.

Zsa is wearing:

Body:   Maitreya ~ Lara
Head:   LeLutka ~ Chloe
Skin:   Pink Fuel ~ Anja
Hair:  Limerence ~ Bree
Eyes:  Avi-Glam ~ Solstice

Pants:  Blueberry ~ Aria - Stylized Pants - new mainstore release
Top:  Just Because ~ Ursala Blouse - available at Uber
Jewelery:  Cae ~ Sylvie - available at Uber
Shoes: Gos ~ Kristen Lace Platforms

I Spy

My outfit today is the latest release from Freya Olivieri of Mon Cheri, for the Black Fair, and as you would expect, it is absolutely beautifully rigged and textured.  Freya is probably best known for her stunning lingerie, so I am always excited when she releases some clothing - please Freya, do more!

This set is available in a fatpack or a humongous choice of single colours, including a selection of camos, one of which I am sharing here.  The set also comes with a matching pair of panties, which makes modest little Zsa happy.

Each individual colour come with a hud allowing you a huge choice of patches for the skirt and jacket in 4 different places (I am showing just 2 here).  You can switch any or all of these patches on or off, and you also get a hud allowing an extensive choice of button colours.

Zsa is wearing:

Petals

The Flowers

Zsa's dress today comes from Virtue, a store I haven't known that long, but who I find myself going back to check often.  They specialise in classy, ladylike dresses, gowns and separates in a diverse selection of textures and prints.

They normally have a large wall of weekly specials, but today I am wearing one of their new releases.  The dress comes in a variety of plains and patterns but I really liked this print, a mixture of muted green covered in tiny white polka dots, emblazoned with bold pink flowers.

The Arch

The flowers on the dress just happened to match well with this Flower Arch from Secret Poses that I picked up at Pose Fair, which comes with a number of poses and bouquets to hold.

Nantra – Who are you wearing

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.

Ophidiophilia

Today I am wearing another fabulous creation from Annie Melson of Just Because, and wow, wow, wow.  Annie has created a simply stunning gown that gives you curves a screen siren would be jealous of, and then topped it with a snake slinking it's way round the bodice.  Not just any old snake either, a texture change snake, so you can match, blend or contrast your snake to your gown, or your hair, or eyes, as you wish.  I will wear it next time I go out dancing, and I am sure it will turn many heads - and maybe send any Ophidiophobics running for the nearest exit, whoops.

Practice

Real life has kept me away from my blog for the longest time since I started blogging, but here I am again, and with a whole heap of new stuff to share.

My dress and boots are both from Just Because for Uber - the dress comes with a scarf which I am not wearing here, but both are available in the gorgeous Just Because palette.  The boots are also available separately at Uber - I have never seen footwear from Annie Melson before and all I can say is that I hope she does more.  They are so easy to wear and come in her extensive palette with plenty of options to customise via hud.  

 I didn't wear the scarf because I wanted to show off this pretty necklace from Cae for FaMESHed.  Unfortunately you cant see the earrings but I have given a closer look at the necklace.

My freckles are by La Boheme, and my eyes, lips and manicure are all from different designers at the current round of Applique.  

My first pose comes from the Nantra set currently at The Liaison Collaborative, and are actually skating poses but I didn't trust Zsa on the ice, so made her practice on the soft snow first.  Wise move as she spent more time on her bum than she did standing.

Oh, quick mention, Lumipro have released their 2017 update and it is amazing - I didn't think they could improve on it but they have.  I can say honestly that I can't imagine blogging without my Lumipro hud now.

The Window

My dress today is brand new by DE Designs for the Mesh Body Addicts bi-monthly event - it comes in a wide array of beautiful colours, and in each box you get both the sweater dress I am wearing here and a shorter length sweater.  I love it when designers give us different wear options.  The dress and sweater are of course beautifully made mesh pieces which fit my Lara like a dream.

The lighting I am using in these photos is the brand new beta from Lumipro.  I quite simply could not take pics in sl now without Lumipro, and the new version brings some tweaks and tricks that make it even more fantastic.  To learn a bit more about the new version, take a look at the video here, and if you have never seen Lumipro before take a look at some of the other videos, it really is an invaluable tool for bloggers and photographers in sl.

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.

Candy

My outfit today comprises separate bodysuit, leggings and straps by Just Because.  It is a brand new mainstore release, and comes in solid colours as well as 4 skeletons.  I couldn't resist this skeleton one, and have been wearing this since the moment I first put it on!  This is quite a change from Annie Melson's normal style, but as always it is a fabulous piece of mesh with great textures bringing it to life, and it is such fun to wear.

My lipstick and eyeshadow/eyeliner combo are both at the current round of Applique.  This is a new to me event, but as a lover of all kinds of appliers for mesh heads it is just perfect for me - not only lots of pretty stuff to play with, but also introducing me to new designers such as the ones whose makeup I am wearing here.  I should mention that they do applier clothing as well as everything you can think of for the mesh head lover.  

My poses and the skeleton stool are both from Nantra for Candy Fair which finishes tomorrow, so if you want it, you need to hurry.  It comes with 12 poses and 12 sweetie props, but I have chosen not to use it in the pic above (actually, I couldn't, because Zsa ate it).
