#429 Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness - and selfies

(with apologies to John Keats)

I am again wearing the group gift skin from LAQ which I blogged here, but this time I have added some of their make-up tattoos which give it quite a different look, but just as pretty.  My hair is new from Elikatira for Shiny Shabby - I can never have too many relaxed, messy kinda pulled back-a-little do's, and I love Miya as she is all of these things.

My spider rain necklace is a special offer for 60L weekends and is available in 3 different packs, each with an extensive texture change hud.  If you hurry you will hopefully still be able to pick them up at this discount price.  

I have decided to do the little black dress thing today as it is something I rarely wear, so it makes a nice change.  I love the classy silk and velvet dress from Basta! which also comes in a range of other deep rich colours, exclusively at The Showroom.  My shoes are new from KC Couture, only available at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair and are absolutely stunning (see close up below).  They are compatible with Slink, Belleza, TMP, Maitreya, N-Core and Eve, and come with KC Couture's amazing texture change hud.

My pose pack is from Repose and includes 5 poses and 5 camera props, two of which I have shown here.

#391 Who bought all the Hair?

Hair Fair is one of my favourite annual events for two reasons - obviously the hair, but more importantly, every year money is raised for Wigs for Kids, a cause close to my heart.  I am still going through my boxes but wanted to share this gorgeous hair from Fiore, my first ever hair from them.  

I am also showing you a few more things from My Slink Obsession (MSO) and reminding you that you have till the 22nd to snatch up some of the goodies on offer.  My props are from Repose for MSO, and come with 5 poses and the appropriate bags for each pose.  My wedges are from B!asta, again for MSO, and come in a variety of great colours, each of which give you a choice of 4 different colours via hud for the wedge part.  My dress from Indyra is not from MSO, but I love it anyway - very easy to wear with my Slink Physique, it also comes with a hud giving 6 colour choices.

#347 Some kinda gamine meets a whole heapa ramblings

I am on a bit of a "short hair" kick at the moment so when I saw this one from Argrace I just had to go and check it out - and fell in love.  Though I have never had short hair in my life (apart from when it was not my choice), I have always admired women like Audrey Hepburn who could/can carry the gamine look off.  I really like the way this hair looks on Zsa, though her gorgeous skin has a part to play in that too - it is new from WoW, exclusive to the Designer Circle, and available in 5 different tones.

I was going to make this a huge blog post so I could show you more of the choices of this lovely little skirt from DE Designs, one of my favourite places for mesh rigged to mesh bodies.  However, I realised it would take me a while, so instead I will show them in different blog posts.  Will give you a bit of info though - they come in three choices - plaid, leather and fabrics.  No prizes for guessing which one I am showing here :).  The plaids are also available in red, black and tan, and in each pack you get the skirt rigged for Belleza, SLink, Maitreya and classic avatar.  Fatpacks are available.  I am wearing the Maitreya and had to do no tweaking at all.

The sneakers from Phunk and come with a texture change hud allowing 15 main colours, 6 choices of logo, and 8 choices for laces.  They are unisex, and very easy to resize.

My top is from one of my favourite shops, Sn@tch, but for some reason I have not really blogged much of their stuff, so I am going to try and feature them a bit more.  Their system works a bit differently to most stores but is very easy - you try on a demo, choose the size that fits, and then get the 8 colours in your size of choice.

My SLink nails are from the lovely Maia of Hello Dave and as they can't be seen properly in the pics, I have put the ad below.  I really really love the way she has combined fingers and toes on one hud.  I mean really really. Some day I should do a screenshot to show how many huds I have on my screen when I am putting together a blog post - it is a case of shifting them all round so I can peep around them to actually see my avvie.  So losing one hud is a very positive thing.  Thanks Maia!

#252 Beached

A new pose store, Repose (from the creators and owners of Embody, The Theme Park and the Woodland Park sim), has it's grand opening today (I will add the details at the end of this post) and I wanted to show one of the props I picked up there. 

 Attthe same time I thought I would take the opportunity to share this gorgeous vintage swimsuit from Has Been, which seemed to fit perfectly with the old time glamourous poses in this towel.

ln the pack you get six different towels, and a choice of 6 poses - I love the poses, which to me very much spoke 50's glamour, hence my search for a costume that would fit with that vibe.  The swimsuit comes with Has Been's usual amazing hud, allowing you to change the bottom, bodice and trim independently, with a multitude of colour choices.  You also get 7 sizes, including curvy, which makes it really easy to get a perfect fit.

l just had to show you a close up of the fabulous ice cream cone nails which are one of the latest VIP gift from Hello Dave, and are best worn on pointed nails as I am here.

Repose Grand Opening
