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:

Body:   Maitreya – Lara
Head:   LeLutka – Chloe
Skin: Pink Fuel Anja
Hair:  Truth – Jacica (former group gift)
Eyes:  Avi-Glam – Solstice

Skirt:  Mon Cheri - Dolina - available at Black Fair
Jacket:  Mon Cheri - Dolina Jacket - available at Black Fair
Jewelery:  Cae - Skull - available at Fameshed

Pose:  Nina Rosario  – Pose Pack 75 - available at Pose Fair
Location:  Backdrop City
Backdrop:  Minimal - Vege Background 6

He's Behind you!

I am bringing lots of new goodness today, with items from We Love Roleplay, Collabor88 and The Season's Story, including a free gift, and finally a $1L hunt item.

I wanted to do a close up today as I have worn this Acorn set from Cae a few times but they have not been very visible.  This is such a pretty, delicate and unusual set, and deserves to be seen.  Statement pieces have their place, but for when you want something more subtle, this little set is absolutely perfect, and of course, with it being from Cae, it is beautifully made.

My skirt and sweater, currently available at Collabor88 are the first things I have ever bought by Zenith, it fits really well, and the gauzy skirt is so pretty. They also have some cute boots available but I chose to go with some from Mon Cheri for Arcade last December, the gacha is now available in the mainstore. 

As you can tell, these pics were taken in different places - I did take a close up in the same location as I took the pic above, a spooky area set up by my friend Pet.  However, with so many trees about, the dappling of the leaves made Zsa looked like she had some kind of rare tropical disease so I dragged her inside to redo the pic.

Solitude

Today's post brings together items from Collabor88, Salem, Anybody and Twe12ve.

I am always excited when Alia Whitfield, designer of Blissiere comes out with something new, and she never disappoints.  Her adverts alone are worth a read!  This Halloween Mantle is nothing short of epic, and I had such fun putting this blog post together.  The fireplace comes loaded with really high quality animations, the candles flicker and it even comes in 3 sizes so no matter how low your ceiling you will find one to fit.  It is available along with other spooky and cute goodies, at the current Haunted round of Twe12ve.

My skirt and top are by Freya Oiivieri of Mon Cheri for this month's Collabor88 and Anybody.  Both come in a large range of colours but I have gone with black to fit in with my theme.  Both top and skirt are available in single colours or a fatpack which includes a bonus colour.  My earrings from Cae for Salem can be seen better on my flickr feed here.

#529 Dreaming

Today I bring you brand new items from The Arcade, FaMESHed and Cosmopolitan.

I am always excited when Freya Olivieri releases something new because her items are always breathtakingly gorgeous - and this new set for The Arcade is no different.  My top, shorts, sleep mask and wonderfully girly clutter plus more are available to play for.  From FaMESHed I am wearing one of Exile's two "do's".  This relaxed kinda up, kinda down, kinda wispy "do", is right up my street, perfect for swinging on my hanging bed under the sl stars.

Below is the shopping guide so you can see more of the goodies you can play for from Mon Cheri at The Arcade.  The player reward is absolutely gorgeous too!  Please note that the clothing in this gacha is only for mesh bodies.

#419 My body is here but my heart is at the beach

Today I am bringing you brand new items from Mesh Body Addicts Fair, Collabor88, Uber, FaMESHed, The Aloha Fair & The Gacha Garden.  I am wearing the LAQ head, Trinity, along with a Glam Affair applier. 

My shorts from Mon Cheri for Mesh Body Addicts Fair come in a whole heap of pretty colours, each with a separate belt with a texture change hud.  You can buy them in a fat pack or singly but you get an extra colour if you buy the fatpack.  I love the frayed hemline, the textures are very realistic and the fit absolute perfection my Maitreya Lara

My necklace and earrings are a brand new set from Cae for FaMESHed and I love love love it!  I have one very like it in real life, but this is better because it comes with a wonderful texture change hud - I wish they would hurry up and make them in real life!  The necklace is actually 3 in one, as you can use the hud to hide any of the three for different looks or to work with different tops.  My bracelet is also by Cae for The Gacha Garden - the bracelet itself is free, and the charms are won on the gacha.

#502 It was June, and the world smelled of roses

The bikini I am wearing here is the gorgeous Vegas bikini by the lovely Freya Olivieri for Mon Cheri.  It is materials enabled and comes with a soft illuminator - and as a hater of facelights, I can tell you that this really is soft and well worth wearing, as the sequin bikini top looks spectacular using it.  Sadly I forgot to wear it for this shoot as I wasn't happy with my previous photos so did a reshoot.  There is a choice of beautiful colours to choose from, or a fatpack which comes with an extra colour, which I am wearing above.  The body chain, in both silver and gold, comes with the bikini but as a separate attachment so you can choose to wear or not.  This set is available at the Tropical Summer Fair which ends 17 June so if you want it, run!

My fringed leather anklets are from another favourite shop of mine, Alaskametro for On9.  There are 6 colour sets with 3 colours per set.  All sets are 15% off at the event, and the metallics which I am wearing, are 25% off.  They are unrigged so you you can move and resize as you wish, and just wear one on it's own.

The poses I am using are from the Dangerous When Wet pack by Nantra, I had fun trying to find somewhere on my land to set up the dive board, eventually putting it over a fallen log, thankfully ZZ didn't dive into the lake beneath it and frighten the Mallards.  In the pack you get the diving board and 2 different corals - the diving board contains 4 poses (including mirrors), and there are also 8 loose poses  (including mirrors).  The pack is available now at The Vintage Fair.

#488 Trust in dreams...

.....for in them is hidden the gate to eternity - Khalil Gibran

Annie Melson of Just Because has outdone herself with this absolutely stunning gown for FaMESHed.   Coming in a vast array of gorgeous colours (I have shown just a few of them), it fits like a glove on my Maitreya Lara and is a joy to wear.  It is also compatible with all the other major mesh bodies.

My armband is the Just Because gift for this month's FaMESHed anniversary round, and comes with a hud to change metals.

The back of the gown is absolutely beautiful too as can be seen in the picture below.  I have no idea how Annie manages to make her mesh so absolutely perfect, but I am glad she does!

#484 The butterfly counts not months but moments

.....and has time enough - Rabindranath Tagore

I felt kinda springy today and wanted to wear this truly gorgeous skirt form Mon Cheri.  Apart from the fabulous selection of patterns to choose from, you also get the skirt in sheer and not so sheer.  What is even better though, is that it comes with undies attached!  This made me jump for joy, confident in that if my studio was full of people, I would not be flashing my bits at them :).  I find this a real issue when wearing short skirts over a mesh body - I dance a lot and last night found myself camming up my own skirt to check I had my undies on - with this skirt, no need!   Whatever skirt texture you choose, the undies coordinate, I so wish more designers would do this for short skirts, I think it is such a great idea.

I am including the pic below simply because I wanted to show the skirt pattern, which is my absolute favourite.  I have worn this sports bra from Just Because but it remains one of my favourites, and most tops don't work great with a high waistband, whereas this one fits perfectly.

I am wearing my Avi-Glam eyes again, this time using the Nature hud.  This will probably be my leisure time hud, as I am pretty much always a green eyed redhead when not blogging, but I like experimenting with different styles and colours on my blog.

#475 Could it be Magic?

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Zsa wanted to show you how good she is at magic, but didn't want you to think she was cheating.  So when this gorgeous bikini landed in my inventory, I just had to blog it - and it gives Zsa nowhere to hide stuff to cheat at magic, so you will know she can really do it.  That's her thinking anyway, I'm keeping quiet.

As you would expect from Annie Melson, this gorgeous little bikini fits perfectly to my Maitreya Lara mesh body, and there is a scrumptious array of colours available, or a hud controlled fat pack.  You can change the colour of the strings, metal and jewels independently.  The top and bottom are separates so you can mix and match if you wish.  It is available exclusively at Uber, which right now is near impossible to get into, but keep trying!

I have teamed my bikini with some cute flats from Glamistry which I was easily able to coordinate with the bikini thanks to his fabulous hud system.  My sunnies are also from Glamistry, and along with other sunnies, are on special offer in the Glamistry store.  They also come with an extensive texture change hud.

My hair is brand new from Amacci for Shiny Shabby, and I have gone with the blondes hud again as I really love the Amacci textures and it seems a shame to just wear reds.  My poses are new from Nantra for this month's One Word, and come with 12 poses (including mirrors) and 4 different props - I have shown all props plus a selection of poses.
