#477 Keep your face always to the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you

Yay!  Zsa is an excited little blogger today, she has finally taken the leap and fallen in  love with her mesh head!  With mesh bodies, it took me a long time before I jumped, but when I did, I loved them so much it is inconceivable for me now to not wear one.  Same with mesh heads - I have had quite a few in my inventory gathering pixel dust for ages, but never liked the way they looked on me.  Then I tried this applier from Belleza and fell in love - I still feel like me, just a much improved me!  When I saw my system avvie after wearing this head for a day, I was quite horrified that I ever allowed myself to wander around the grid, let alone appear on this blog, looking like that!

My dress is new from Entice and I think it has a bit of a 1940's classy vibe.  You have 4 different huds to choose from, each one having 3 textures, it was a real struggle to choose, they are all lovely.  The Maitreya dress fits perfectly to my Maitreya Lara mesh body and you also get the dress in Slink, Belleza, classic and fitmesh.  They are just 99L for each hud for Super Sales Weekend which ends on the 8th

My shoes are brand new from KC Couture, and I thought they also have a vintage vibe.  They are currently available at the new round of Designer Showcase.  As always they come with a humoungous texture change hud so you can make them work with any outfit, and are also compatible with Belleza, Slink and Eve.

My necklace, earrings and bracelet are currently on offer at Indulge Temptation, but they will be changing soon, so if you want them you need to run.  There are 6 packs available, some for Sixty Linden Weekends and some for 55L Thursday.

My pictures are taken in my wonderful friend Pet's newly refurbished shabby chic store.  I recommend a visit for some really cute home items at extremely reasonable prices.  If you  haven't got a croquet set for your lawn, shame on you!  Go grab Pet's original mesh one now!

#394 Bella Poses Prettily

I have lots of lovely newness to show you today so will work from the head down.  My hair is a new release from Exile at the Hair Fair.  To be honest, I wasn't all that keen on the demo but I have a thing about messy updos so I took a chance - I am so glad I did, I love it now and am sure it will appear again on this blog.

My skin is new from PXL for The Wayward Carnival - it comes in pale and natural tones, both with new make-ups for the lovely Shara skin. Each skin pack contains dark, light, medium and no brow skins, 3 freckle tattoos, 3 mole tattoos, 2 cleavage tattoos (2 options), 3 lip gloss tattoos, nail eraser on a glove, SweetLips appliers.  I have added a lip colour simply because the lips on the skin were lovely, but didn't work with this outfit.

Also new is the PXL body freckles applier which includes 3 different tones giving the ability to match with any skin.  You get 2 densities of freckles and 2 transparencies. The appliers work with the latest mesh bodies from Maitreya, Belleza & Slink and are compatible with all skins on SL.  This hud is available at the PXL store for the MIX event.

My cute dresses from Somnia are also for Mix and are only 200L for each color set - dark or light.  they come with a hud allowing you to change the dress, belt fabric, laces and hardware separately.  I am showing the darks above and the lights below.  They are cross compatible so you can mix and match.  Although not specifically rigged for Maitreya Lara, it was easy to get them to fit with a few alpha cuts.  I know I will wear this a lot, it is so easy to wear and has a light and fresh feeling to it - even the darks!

My cute flatties are a recent release from KC Couture and come with their fantastic texture change hud allowing you to change independently the textures for main, cord, stars, 3 separate jewels, insole and sole. They come fitted for Maitreya, Eve, Belleza and Slink. 

And finally, my mani/pedi is from Wicked Peach who have just moved to a new location, and I recommend a visit, they have some fabulous make-up and they are well worth a visit. One of the things that made this little blogger very happy is that their nail appliers include not only Slink appliers but Belleza and Maitreya too.  I am including their advert below because you can't really see them in my pics.
