#438 A blogger's work is never done

Just a quick post today as this has been sitting in my drafts for about a week due to rl and sl stuff, and I need to get the blog posts moving again.  

My top is a new mainstore release from Just Because which I have teamed with an older release smart skirt from Sn@tch and a great pair of heels from K C Couture.  The top comes in a choice of scrumptious colours or a hud operated fatpack - scarf and top are separates, which makes this a very versatile wardrobe addition.  This outfit makes me feel very business like and professional, it even inspired me to start working on my inventory - well actually that is a total lie, but it has inspired me to get on with what I am here for - blogging!

#358 Destiny will get you everywhere

This original mesh dress by Ducknipple didn't jump at me from the advert, but that changed as soon as I tried it on.  It really is original, unlike anything I have seen before and I love the poofy pockets, the ruffles, and the strapping and hardware. Of course with it being from Ducknipple, there is a texture change hud to play with - 10 options for the sweater, 2 for the dress.

These fabulous shoes from KC Couture debuted at April's 21Shoe, and I was a happy little blogger when they released the full pack.  They are original mesh, beautifully made, and for the price of less than one pair of shoes from other designers, you also get a hud giving 24 independent options for main, heel and straps, 6 for the sole and 2 for the hardware.  I have added a close up of another combination at the end of this post.

I wanted some specs for this post, but I rarely wear glasses in sl and have very few in my inventory, so I was pleased to find these beautifully crafted Softpaw ones from Krystal.

#354 MV for 21Shoe April 2015

Here is probably my last post for 21Shoe this month, and I am showing you the shoes from MV Alternative Clothing.  I really like the texturing on these shoes, particularly the peep toe pair.

If you are new to 21Shoe, it is a a 24-hour event that takes place on the 21st of each month and gives you the opportunity to snap up new and exclusive shoes at two-for-one pricing.  Each designer provides two pairs of shoes which are either new or exclusive, but always two for the price of one. For more information, and a catalogue of each month’s offerings, please visit the 21 Shoe blog here.

The shoes are only available at each designer’s mainstore, so don't miss these gorgeous shoes at a fantastic price, run to MV Alternative Fashion on the 21st.

# 331 21Shoe March 2015 - G&D Italian Style, and Group Gift

Yay, almost 21Shoe time!  In case you are unfamiliar with the 21Shoe event, on the 21st of the month, for just 24 hours, the participating designers will offer two exclusive pairs of shoes for the price of one - and in this case exclusive means just that, they will never again be offered in the same texture or design combination. 

The Shoes I am showing here are from a new-to-me designer G&D The Italian Style.  You get both pairs of shoes in your box, for just 300L.   They come rigged for Maitreya, SLink and TMP high feet.  I am wearing the version for Maitreya and they fit perfectly.

Darma Sabot on the left rises on a towering plateau, and comes with a hud allowing you to change the texture sole, heelcap, insole and plateau.  The Norma pump on the right is absolutely delicious, reminding me of sorbet or ice cream, and comes again with a hud allowing customisation of metal, heel cap, sole and inner. The details are fantastic, the zipper and tab in particular stand out for me

The dainty anklets above are the 21Shoe group gift for March.  They are from one of my favourite shoe designers, Sax Shepherd.  You get one for each ankle, and of course they come with Sax's fantastic hud allowing you to customise to your hearts content. I have just chosen a few different looks at random to give you some ideas.

This anklet  is the first 21Shoe group and each monthly fashion related gifts will be sent via the group - currently the group is free to join, but on April 1st it will cost $150L to join. So follow this link: 21Shoe Group Join before 1st April , and don't forget to check the notices and pick up your anklets.

#313 Of gowns and goddesses

. 

Today I am showcasing another beautiful new release from WOW Skins and two stunning new jewelry sets from Zuri.

Sawsan of WOW Skins has produced another truly exquisite skin which is exclusively available at The Fashion Fair, open now till February 28.  Serena comes in fatpacks in 5 tones.  

Perfectly timed for Valentine's Day, the jewelry set above is one of the combinations in the brand new Belle Hearts set.  A cascade of beautifully crafted hearts and pearls, this is a statement set which will really accentuate your low cut gowns.  Belle Hearts is available in 10 different combinations, but there is also a texture change elite set available which would be a fabulous valentines gift for someone you love. 

Below we have the bold and beautiful Phaedra, fittingly named after a Greek goddess and available in 8 different combinations.

Although you can only just see them peeping out, the Brazilia Heels KC Couture come with their usual extensive texture change hud, allowing you a choice of 30 independent textures for the main and the heel

#306 21Shoe January 2015 Blog Post #4 - MV Alternative Fashion

The shoes I am showing here are the MV Alternative Fashion (another new-to-me designer - I think I need to get out more!) for this month's 21Shoe event. You get two for the price of one of their Satrina for high SLink feet, in blush (shown above) and mocha (shown below). These are definitely statement shoes, not for the faint of heart, with their high platform and laces curving up towards the calf.   

Below is a close up of the mocha pair so you can see some of the intricate detailing along the straps and rivets.  Just looking at that platform makes me feel dizzy!

In case you are unfamiliar with the 21Shoe (website link) event, on the 21st, for just 24 hours, the participating designers offer two exclusive pairs of shoes for the price of one - and in this case exclusive means just that, they will never again be offered in the same combination of texture and design.

#284 Anjana Dream

Another quick post for today - the outfit I am wearing is the November group gift for a new to me designer, NS::. Everything I am wearing is from the gift - the mesh dress, headress, foot strap shoes, dragonflies.  It also comes with an ivy branch, but I have chosen not to use it in this post.

I am wearing another gorgeous skin from ::WoW Skins::, in their milk tone for a change, much lighter than I normally wear but I love it so much, I might go pale a bit more often.

#266 Linares

I have been a huge fan of Candace Hudson's work ever since I stumbled across it on the marketplace a few years ago.  Candace never disappoints, and that goes for both her mesh and flexi items, which she mixes with great success.   This new outfit comes in both chocolate and olive, with a resizeable flexi skirt and belt, and a mesh vest.

My necklace and bracelet are from The Golden Fleece, who I was thrilled to find have some items on marketplace - the inworld store disappeared a couple of years ago, but their items stand the test of time - very well made and incredibly reasonable, particularly as they are texture change.  Most items cost around 29 lindens.

#259 Secret Lovers

Today I am showing another make up from the gorgeous Claudia by Belleza , which I fall more in love with every time I wear it.  Having the choice of two different red brows makes this skin just perfect for me.

My outfit is new from Liv Glam and comes with a texture change hud giving 3 different textrues for the top.  It is out for 55L Thursday where you will find a bunch of gorgeous outfits for less than 100L

It is so long since I wore any  [Gos] footwear that I had forgotten how beautifully made they are - I used to wear these ankle boots all the time, I will have to remember to take them for a walk more often!

#253 Tousled

Today's outfit was kinda built around the skin and the hair - the skin is another make-up from Belleza's new Claudia, which I love more and more every time I try a new one.  The hair was new at the Hair Fair and I really like the tousledness of it (nope that isn't a word, but it should be)

My outfit is new from LivGlam, and of course comes with their texture change hud giving you the choice of 6 different colours and textures - I just felt in the mood for black today.  I love the outfit, it is just so easy to wear and I am sure this is one I will wear a lot.
