#418 Trust your heart if the seas catch fire...

...live by love though the stars walk backwards - E E Cummings

My vest is another great design from DE Designs.  It comes in a choice of leather or fabric, and is compatible with Maitreya, Slink and all three Belleza mesh bodies as well as standard sizing for classic avatar.  You can buy the vests separately or in hud operated fatpacks.  I chose the leather today but the fabrics are gorgeous too and they will definitely feature on another blog post.

My hair is the new group gift from Lamb - the group is 100L to join but is worth it even for this one gift, which is a full fatpack.  My booted leggings are from Baby Monkey and come in vinyl as well as this leather - I love the sleek line of the integral boot.  They are compatible with classic avatar but I had no issues wearing them over my Maitreya Lara mesh body.

#416 Look what else I found in My Attic!

I am back with another post chock full of My Attic bargains.  I was thrilled to find Lumae participating in My Attic for the first time, with their lovely Niska skin in a brand new make-up.  Niska comes in a choice of 8 tones - and for 95L you get not only Niska in your chosen tone, you also get a multitude of brow options, freckles, and every single applier you could possibly need.  

  My silk blouse and shorts are from a "new-to-me" designer, Mimikri.  Each comes in an array of gorgeous colours which made it hard to choose but I just loved the soft blues in this blouse and the gorgeous colours in the shorts.  The texturing is absolutely beautiful, particularly on the shorts.  My loafers from Elysium are really pretty and also  comfortable to wear (not a pixel bunion in sight!).

I am wearing Cae's equestrian set again for this post, but in the copper option, having used the silver option here.  Finally my poses are from a fun pack from Nantra - you get three props - the books and dog I am showing here, and also a clutch.  You get 6 poses plus mirrors and as you can see the poses work with or without the props.

#415 Look what I found in My Attic!

A new round of My Attic at the Deck opens tomorrow, the 21st, and I am showing you some sneak peeks of the goodies available - the theme this month is Town & Country.  I have to confess that I have been suffering event fatigue recently and don't go to nearly as many as I used to, but I try never to miss My Attic as the quality is always great, there is a great mix of old and new (to me) designers, and everything is just 95L (to cost at least 250L when they go to the main stores).  What's not to love!

Anyway, onto the goodies - my hair is from EMO-tions and is a casual tousled messy floppy do which I love.  It comes in all the expected colour packs and as well as having a great range of textures in your chosen hud, you can also change the colour of the ribbon. It is great to see Cae taking part in this round with their equestrian set which is very cute.  It comes with a hud allowing you to choose from silver, copper and gold.

My chinos are from a new to me designer, The Annex, they fit great and come in a great selection of colours.  They also have a sweater vest available which is just as cute if not more so, but I wanted to wear this hair which covers the sweater too much.

#406 A dress on Isis is better than two in the inventory

In today's post I am wearing some newness and some "been in my inventory a while, time to blog" stuff.  My gorgeous skin is new from PXL exclusively for Festival of Sin.  Available in Sunkissed or Pale, each skin contains: 4 eyebrows color/options (embedded on the skin), Tintable Eyebrows tattoo, Freckle Tattoos (3 shading). Moles Tattoos (3 shadings), Cleavage Tattoos (2 options), 3 LipGloss shading on Tattoo, Nail eraser on a glove, SweetLips Appliers.  Appliers for Slink, Maitreya and Belleza bodies are available separately and other appliers are available in the PXL mainstore.  I have chosen the no eyebrow option and have added some from Belleza.

My lovely, easy to wear dress from DE Designs comes in both solid and patterned choices.  I am wearing the patterned in the above pics, and have shown you the other pattern options below.  Beautifully rigged, it is compatible with Belleza Venus/Isis, Maitreya and Slink, and also classic avatar fitmesh.  It fits like a dream and can be bought singly or in extremely reasonable fat packs.  

Compatible with Belleza, Slink, Maitreya and TMP, my shoes from KC Couture come with an incredibly generous hud allowing you to change every part of the shoe separately.  Next to the shoes I have shown you the solid colours of the DE Designs dress - it is hard to show, but the colours are not just bland non-textured colours, they all have a very subtle self pattern which brings life and dimension.

#398 Look what I found in My Attic!

One of my favourite monthly events is My Attic at the Deck, where items are priced at just 95L for the duration of the event, which is 21st - 31st of each month.  My top, capris, jewellery and shoes are all from this month's "Cruise Report" themed My Attic but with only a few days left, you will need to run to grab these bargains.  

My top and capris by Leri Miles, are bought separately and come in a large range of colours so you can mix and match as you wish.  My jewellery is from a new-to-me store, Meva, and I just love the nautical theme.  

I will show my navel piercing in close up in another post, but I just have to say that it is the first piercing I have had that is fitted to mesh bodies, and honestly it makes life so much easier.  This one is fitted to Maitreya Lara (also available separately fitted for Belleza Isis and Freya), and gives you 6 different fitmesh options (to allow for the differing navel positioning on whatever skin you are wearing) and an unrigged version you can move and resize, so you can find your perfect fit.  It also comes with KC Couture's extensive hud allowing a myriad of texture change options.  

My flatties are also from My Attic at the Deck and come rigged for Maitreya, Slink and Belleza flat feet - and there is a wide variety of colours to choose from and at 95L

#373 Check out Charlotte

I wanted to blog this fabulous jewellery set from Zuri Rayna which as you can see, is a real statement piece - or rather, pieces - included in the pack are earrings, necklace and ring.  It is only available as an Elite set which means it is super customisable - you can resize, change bling on/off, and independently change 2 gems, 2 pearls and metals.   

I needed something simple and classic to wear with my statement jewels so rummaged through my nightmare of an inventory and found this beautiful gown from Shey.  Simple but stylish, it comes with a very varied 16 texture change hud.  My SLink high heels are from KC Couture and come rigged for TMP, Belleza, SLink and Maitreya and of course their incredible hud allowing 40 independent changes for main, sole, heel and platforms, and 2 metals.

#372 The world is my flip flop

Long long ago, in a previous incarnation far far away, my avvie had pink hair that I fashioned out of the default sl hair, really stylish as I am sure you can imagine. Sadly/thankfully, no pics of those early days (over 8 years ago) remain, but at the time I thought I looked really cool, so my avvie was pink haired for a long time.  One day she discovered a hair store and bought her first "real hair" which was probably only a small step up from the default hair (and the shop still exists so mentioning no names) - but my avvie put her pink hair days behind her.

Zsa has never, as far as I can remember, worn coloured hair unless for a fantasy type blog post, but when I saw this gorgeous new hair from Elikatira I was wearing lavender pants and top, and I suddenly had the urge to go purple.  My earrings and pendant from Maxi Gossamer really seemed to fit the vibe I felt wearing this outfit, and I think give a nice contrast to all my purpleness.

The fit of this top from Just Because is nothing short of perfection, but next time I blog it, I must remember to take a pic of the criss cross back which is stunning.  You can buy the top separately (13 colours to choose from) or buy the fat pack with a hud to change colours.  My starstruck jeans from Sky come with a hud with a choice of 8 colours, my flip flops (or thongs to my Antipodean friends) from Illi come with a large amount of preset colours for independent strap and bottom changes, but also an infinity colour picker so the world can be your flip flop too.
