Jewelry Fair

I confess, in RL, I am not a big fan of jewelry. In SL though, things are a little bit different. My avatar gets to wear the best of the best. This time, new sets from Dark Mouse and je suis, especially for the Jewelry Fair (Sept. 16-25). I'd say it's worth a visit ;-)

TP to Dark Mouse@jewelry fair | TP to je suis@jewelry fair 

 

The hair is from Hazzard and the skin is the new Chloe from Belleza. As usual, I used Strawberry Singh's windlight setting, but I also played a bit with curves.

Iconique

Sometimes I find myself having the best accessories from the grid. Like, one of the new releases of je suis, the iconique waist belt. Every color allows you infinite combinations of accents, metal and studs. So I'm not kidding when I say the sky is the limit - or, better said - your imagination! Here comes the hard part though: I had nothing to wear. Doh! It's so difficult to find a good dress that is not overloaded with details. So I made one ;)




I'm also wearing my favorite curly hair from Hazzard and splendid pearls from *Milady's*.

This Time

Moniq told me to start blogging again. So here I am! The point of blogging is to make an outfit right? Right?! Well I am all dressed up yet stuck at the choice of nails! How can I possibly select between so many options when I have the new nails from je suis. Five per color group! Metallic or french! Seriously now, should I pick the metallic version in purple?
 



Or maybe the french ones in blue?




And please, don't tell me you'd pick photo no#1 just because of the cleavage. Speaking of which, you should totally check out HUIT's new skin release. Or the Tiger makeup! I just love the dramatic effect it gives to the eyes. I am wearing it ever since I got it :P The hair I am wearing is offered by Mina Nakamura and is only available at the Headquarter, for a special price.

One Year

Over a year ago, I was persuaded by a friend to start a fashion blog. I am glad I did it because I learned a lot and made new friends. You know who you are, thank you for being there for me :)

And even after so much time, I still like dressing up and taking photos. Today I'm dressed to kill! The overknee boots from Milady's are my favourite these days and I haven't taken them off since I got them. Don't forget to update your landmarks because Milady's has moved to a new sim.
The daring pose used in this picture was created by fellow blogger Sawa Gothly.






The sexy black dress and the skin are still discounted till tomorrow at Designer Circle so run while you still can! The catchy jewelry jewelry from je suis and the lovely hair is from Mina Hair. Here's your taxi to designer circle. Happy shopping!

Today's Look

I decided to share today's look with you. The hair is not-yet-released from Mina Hair and I think it's absolutely flirty. I started the outfit from a red leather jacket now discounted at Designer Circle (hurry! today is the last day).
The red color screamed for more red, so I put on the red leather pants from Vextra. That's really a keeper for me.
I wanted contrast so I decided to make something instead of searching my inventory :) The bra and bikini are the newest release at Aggressione, and this time I made it a group gift. All you need to do is join Aggressione group to get it for free. And if you have no group spots left, you can get it on marketplace for a mere L$1.



The beautiful colorful jewelry is from je suis, which recently turned 1 year old! Congrats Julia!
The shoes are a perfect match to what I'm wearing, again they are discounted at the Designer Circle until today. Here's your taxi. Happy shopping!

CH1C and Shoes!

Or should I say shoes and CH1C? You probably realized I'm going to show you some shoes at this point. Yep. NX-Nardcotix has released fabulous sandals in various colors and I found my way into creating an outfit around them. With them. Ehmm... Actually I put on a dress from Thalia ;)
The superb jewelry set is by je suis, celebrating CHIC Management's first birthday with an exclusive release. In fact every item at CH1C is reduced so I'd give it a try teleport. Expect some serious Linden losses! :)




And here's a closeup of my new shoes! Aren't they gorgeous?

Green

My look of the day started with the beautiful bow shaped earrings from Dark Mouse. Seriously, you have got to love how detailed they are! And while I'm less online, I did see the new releases from GizzA. And wow, trust me when I say they are superb.






I'm wearing the summer outfit made of crochet. The way Giz Seorn plays with colors is incredible. See for yourself! Beware though, you might leave broke from that store ;) You've been warned :P

A Misty Look

I discovered in my never ending inventory, Ayla's Misty dress. It's just smashing paired with the necklace from Dark Mouse. I mean those pearls, they're flowing ehmmm... you get the idea :P But I know you were only looking at my new sunglasses from je suis ;)




The shoes are discounted at Designer Circle. So hurry, what are you waiting for, to make that perfect Easter gift?

Is It Summer Yet?

Easter makes me also dream at summer time... And if you are like me, you should really take advantage of the discounted items at the Designer Circle, which is now at its 4th Collection (18 - 30 April 2011). You can never have enough bikinis in your inventory. The skin is also deeply discounted, just 90 L$ and it comes with an optional cleavage. And for summer, it's not an option, it's a must!
The wedges in all colors by Milady's and the new bangles from je suis compliment the whole look.
Here's your taxi to Designer Circle.

Inspiration

Just when I felt uninspired, I found myself dressed in red from top to bottom. Even my je suis eyelashes have red little hearts.




The hair in the second picture as well as the jewelry set are from MINA, as part of the Glance Front Row event. Details can be found here. For full credits, read below.

Mismatch

Taking pictures became fun again after a few days without blogging. I put together an outfit that could be considered a mismatch by some, but I love it a lot. It started with the cowboy hat from je suis, a new release, in the tentee series. My top is one of the newest releases from Absolution, available now at the I heart Originals fair. The pants are new from Spirit Store, but please keep in mind they come with extra attachments that I'm not showing here. The finishing touch was the beautiful jewelry set from .: BeautyCode::.. All in all, I'm happy with this look :)

Summer Or Winter

Summer or winter, depending on your location, designers have got you covered. Annette Voight of [Decoy] has created this amazing new dress called Sophie. I have fallen in love with it the second I put it on! The details are amazing!
And if you live in the northern hemisphere, do not worry, Cynthia Ultsch of [Cynful] is selling one of the sexiest mini knit dresses ever! You really can't take your eyes off it :P
I'm wearing in both cases the new release Raye set made by Julia Merosi from je suis, and you can see just how versatile it is. With a few clicks I can change the color of all the elements of both the necklace and the earrings to match my outfit just the way I want it. That's just awesome!
Thank you to the great designers that make our SL lives so pretty <3

Luna Jubilee said this week's color is indigo. So indigo it is! Luckily, Annette Voight of [Decoy] made a tee especially for this. So yeah, guess who's happy now? The shirt comes in both long and short sleeve version, but I went for the first choice. Thank you Annette!
Oh and don't forget, next week: taupe!

Extend A Helping Hand

Sanura Sakai of Sanu is organizing Extend A Helping Hand (EaHH) fundraiser that will contribute to the recovery of the people affected by the floods in Queensland, Australia. The event ends on February 8, for details read Sanu's blog.
I am showing you the wonderful Speranza Innocenza stilettos by Jaxie Ocealane of Rose River Saloon. 100% of the profits from their sale will go to the EaHH. People in Queensland, Australia need this, so this is a chance to help out. Here's your taxi to EaHH.





I'm also wearing beautiful new releases from [Cynful], je suis and Spirit Store. Please note the colors of the sweater and shoes appear brighter due to the graphical settings used for the shadows.

Keep It Simple

It's official! Kirstens viewer hates me! I really wanted pics with shadows but things aren't rezzing properly for me. So there you go, simple pics, no effects, no shadows, no blur, nada!
Showing you today is my look for the past couple of days. I started this outfit from the glasses from Dark Mouse and the headphones by Felicity Winslet. Very John Lennon, wouldn't you say? :D
The fabulous new boots are from Milady's. Get them either at the store or on marketplace in black or white. Full credits? See below!

Zeery

I found a cute scarf the other day at Zeery, gift from a hunt. I liked it so much I just had to make an outfit around it - even though it's meant to be worn by men. I'm not sure if the hunt is still on, but everything Zeerya Pyrithea makes is of very good quality and her store is definitely worth paying a visit. The skin I'm wearing is a group gift from Filthy, and it comes in three tones. For credits and stuff, read below :)

It's A Secret

The "SO 2011" event is something I didn't think I'd try, but I got a notecard or two about it. It runs through 29th December and stores have $50L discounted items (find out more here). I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and I got something really pretty from The Secret Store. But I am so not telling you what the discounted items are. It's not like I am wearing one :P For credits and stuff, read below :)

It Started as Yellow

I wanted to do Luna's challenge, so I started to get dressed in yellow. I then saw Sway Dench's announcement on plurk of her new Xmas gift. I rushed there and what can I tell you, it was love at first sight. Be sure to pick up the sweater at Sway's and enjoy the scenery. She did an incredible job with the sim. I couldn't stop myself from wearing the africain belt I picked up last night at Julia's party at je suis. Even though you're supposed to wear it with a bathing suit, hey it's my second life. So there :)

Party, Sale, Hunts and Gifts

...really what could be better for a cold weekend in December?
I’m wearing a hot minidress from *Solange!* that is available in the Happy Holidays hunt. Judging from I’ve seen so far, this hunt has some really great prizes.
The fabulous jewelry is the "une princesse" set from je suis. Speaking of which, don't forget the Xmas party Julia Merosi is having tonight at 1 pm SLT at je suis mainstore. There will be some contests going on, such as a customer, a flickr, and a blogger contest, all with prizes in cash and credit from the store. For more details, check Julia’s blog.
In both photos, I used poses from Glitterati, which happens to have a sale going on now until January 1st. All prices are slashed by at least 50%. I'd say that's quite a deal, cause the poses are awesome.
