#483 There are always flowers for those that want to see them

Henri Matisse

My dress is new from DE Designs and as with everything Doc Eldritch makes, it is beautiful made and a joy to wear.  I always love Doc's textures but particularly like it when he gives us a choice of plains or patterns to choose from as he has done with this dress - I have shown you a couple of the gorgeous  floral patterns.  As always, this dress comes in a multitude of fits, so you are sure to find something that works for you.

My hair is from the lovely Sisch Firecaster for the new round of The Season's Story.  It is available in a variety of huds, all containing a generous 30 colour choices.

 I am very happy, after a very long search, to have finally found eyes I love, and they are from a totally new-to-me designer, Kendra Parfort, for her store Avi Glam.  They have a selection of different eyes, all equally beautiful and just 49L a pair, or you can buy fatpacks.  What is particularly exciting to me as a blogger who changes her eyes in pretty much every post is that the fatpacks are hud operated, so just one set of eyes to fit to your mesh head and you are done.  I went for the Celestial range Arctic pack of the for this post, and this comes with an absolutely gorgeous selection of eyes on the blue spectrum in 3 size choices.  In my next post I will be wearing eyes from the same range but the Nature pack and you can pretty much expect these to be in all my blog posts for the foreseeable future.

I wear a mesh body, head, hands & feet in all posts. I use alpha cuts where necessary, and if I can't get an item to work with my mesh body, I wwill neither wear it or blog it  Most items I blog fit various mesh body parts, and often classic avatar standing sizing and/or fitmesh. Please make sure to demo anything you see here that you are thinking of buying to be sure it works for you.

#456 It all starts with a smile

I named this post in honour of the beautiful sim where I took these pictures - Kaelyn Alecto has very kindly opened up her sim for people to take pictures or just hang out.  There is so much to see and lots of surprises around each corner, I am sure I will be taking more pics there soon.   

My jeans are brand new from Just Because and are available at Uber.  They come in a plethora of great colours and each colour comes with a hud allowing you to change the belt colour.  Of course as always with Annie Melson, the jeans are compatible with a large selection of mesh bodies, plus standard sizing.  As is my jacket from DE Designs, which comes with the integral t-shirt and includes a hud giving you a choice of 6 t-shirt and 2 hardware colours.  If you buy the fatpack (and Doc's prices are so reasonable, why wouldn't you!) of course you get a hud allowing you to change the jacket colours as well.    Both the jeans and the jacket fit perfectly on my Maitreya Lara, and are an absolute joy to wear. 

I am again wearing the boots from Essenz that are currently half price for Mix - I blogged them with a close up here.  My skin is WoW's latest release, exclusively at the Bombshell Event - Delia is exceptionally pretty, and available in 6 tones.

That little black - or red - dress

As I have said before on this blog, I absolutely love how Candace Hudson of Hudson's mixes mesh and flexi - so I was thrilled to see that she has done it again with these new gorgeous little sparkling satin cocktail dresses.  The textures are rich and deep, and the flexi addition has just the right amount of movement and flow.  It comes in two shades, the shimmery black and the rich red.

My nails are from one of the gorgeous new palettes released by Hello Dave and at $99L for a palette of 35 different shades, is amazing value.  I am also wearing what have become my favourite ever shoes in sl - they are just so pretty - sexy yet elegant, and so easy to customise to make them your own.  The jewellery is from Maxi Gossamer at teh current round or FaMESHed, and I am sure these will be worn again and again.
