#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.

#371 It all starts with Jasmine

With this versatile dress from Shey, you not only get two versions - mini and full length, you also get extensive huds allowing you to change the the mini dress and the opaque bottom section.  There is an excellent selection of both block colours and textures to choose from.

I have been a huge fan of Glamistry's footwear and hud system from the moment I discovered them. Glamistry shoes are beautifully crafted and come in a fantastic array of colours, and their amazing hud system is the cherry on top.  If you are wearing them and realise you need a different colour for your outfit, you can actually buy the new colour directly from the hud (and increase the pool of colour options you can use to mix and match).  Great for this blogger who spends most of her time half dressed or half undressed with a collection of demo signs floating above her head, while attempting to put a blog post together!

#355 Me, My Chair and a great big Hud

I love this outfit (top, jeans and belt) which comes with Shey's usual mega-customizability-hud allowing changes to jeans (15), top (20), buttons (5), and belt (5). The range of choice is great, whether you want something muted or something bright. Of course, being a big kid when it comes to texture change huds, I had to make the most of it and show you some combinations along with the chair animations.

I spent ages trying to find shoes or boots to go with the jeans as I am so not a flares-kind-of-girl usually (yet I love this outfit).  I could find nothing in my inventory that I was happy with, almost all my heels are stilletto and I wanted something more chunky. 

Serendipitously, I saw a 55L list which included Lavalle shoes.  I had never actually worn Lavalle before but had a vague memory of chunky heels, and within seconds of setting foot in the store I pounced on these boots which were just what I was looking for.  I have listed in the credits the colours used.  I must mention Lindsey Warwick's fantastic customer service, I could not have asked for more - thank you Lindsey!

The chair and poses are from Infiniti for The Pose Fair.  Infiniti's poses and props are always top notch and this chair is no different.  The wood and seat are texture change, and loaded with 17 quality animations.  There are some good upside down anims but I thought they were a bit risky in this top!

#346 Pose Fair 2015 with Hopscotch and more ramblings

Today's post shows a bunch of new releases.  First, I am showing all the poses contained within two of Hopscotch's pose packs for The Pose Fair.  They are called Pose Me Pretty, and have Chandni's unique pose creating talent stamped all over them - they are quite different to anything I already have and I am sure I will use them again and again.

Next comes this cute spring dress from Shey.  It comes with a texture change hud allowing a choice of 20 skirt, 20 top, 10 belt and 5 metal independent combinations.  The skirt options include both pattern and solid colours.  I always love Shey items, and that they come with such a lot of customisability (hey, I invented a word - the nearest my dictionary comes up with is combustibility and that is definitely not the word I want!) makes me love them even more.

And last but definitely not least come these amazing strapped heels from Illi, which come with a texture change hud giving you 14 colour choices for main, two independent straps and heel, and 3 for the metal and sole.  As if that isn't enough, there is also a colour picker on the hud, so you can literally colour the shoes in any colour you wish.

Oh, another finally, here is the ad for the gorgeous nail palette I have used, as you are unable to see my nails in the photo.  This is one of the new releases from the lovely Maia of Hello Dave. Maia, if you read this, I hope half red shoes don't count!

#333 More from Skin Fair 2015 and newness from Shey

Here is another new face from the Skin Fair.  I have never tried an sYs skin before and they are definitely quite different to my usual style, but I really like the delicacy and softness of the skin and features,

My dress is new from Shey and comes with a hud allowing 15 texture choices for the dress itself, and 12 for the ribbon.  I had no trouble at all fitting it to my SLink Physique. My shoes from KC Couture also come with a hud allowing you a humongous 60 textures for main, trim, metal and heel.

#316 Belle of his Heart

For today's post I am wearing another set of the fabulous Belle Hearts jewelry by Zuri.  They are so beautifully made, and absolutely perfect if you are looking for something for Valentine's Day.  I love this set because it is striking, yet not ostentatious.

This gorgeous sleek gown I am wearing is from Shey, and has been in my inventory for well over a year.  It comes with a hud giving a choice of 20 rich textures. It isn't fitmesh but I had no issue with using it with the Lara mesh body - as with most low cut tops, I found that neither Belleza Venus or SLink Physique worked well with this gown, because they have far fewer areas round the boobs that you can alpha out, whereas Lara has plenty.

My shoes are another gorgeous set from Mundos, coming with their amazing texture change hud allowing you to customise individually 8 different sections with 24 different textures - giving you both sequin and plain options for the heel.  In the box you get copies rigged to TMP, Belleza, SLink and Maitreya.

I'd like a dash of colour with my autumn please

““I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” 
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

I went along to the Boho Culture Fair today, but didn't have much spending money (having spent my clothing allowance on gorgeous shoes - shown below!) so just picked up this hair from MINA, and some dollarbies and Freebies.  The hair has texture change huds for both the hair and the headband.

My dress is new from Shey and gives you 10 different texture choices via hud - below I have shown you all except one, which is a bright yellow with dotty hemline.

The shoes are a SLink add-on from KoiKoi - a "new to me" creator - and are absolutely gorgeous. Featuring rich deep colours and excellent texturing, they also come with a hud, so if you buy the fatpack as I did (of course!) you can change the shoe, heel and trim to any combination you fancy from this colour palette.

The poses from Eternal Dream are currently on sale at the Falling Leaves Cart Sale  there are two packs, one for 50L and one for 100L

Camouflaged

“Camouflage is a game we all like to play, but our secrets are as surely revealed by what we want to seem to be as by what we want to conceal.” -  Russell Lynes

My least favourite colour is green, but here I am again, in green from head to toe!  As soon as I tried on this top which is the prize from Kathleen's for the Season's Palette Hunt, I loved it, and immediately delved into my inventory to find things to go with it.

Everything I am wearing other than the top is texture change..  The hat that comes with the hair has 12 textures, the converse have 5, the jeans have 30 - 15 solids and 15 patterns, and the fabulous dog tags have a choice of 8 different jewel colours.
