15/11/2016 - I'll just wait here until you come back

The theme this month at Twe12ve is "Memories", and the gorgeous items from The Artist Shed and Myth made me a little nostalgic. There are some people who I miss dearly, and I just hope they are happy and safe. So this post is dedicated to Tan and Richy.

Anyway, look how cool these things are! The clock is from Myth, it's scripted, you can adjust it to your local time, it ticks and rings, I love it! The bench and boxes are from the Artist Shed, and they're all staying in my house!

The very pretty dress from Sevyn East comes with the cute earmuffs and a lovely necklace.

14/11/2016 - Twe12ve November

Hello! Twe12ve has opened, on the 12th (duh!), and I found quite a few pretty things that you might want to look at. As you know, I am not a H&D blogger, and after spending over an hour setting up my classroom, I definitely know why. But the items from Blissiere were too cool not to be shown, so here they are :

I really really like the dress from LX, a new to me store. It's original mesh and only fits Maitreya bodies, but it fit them perfectly. It comes in a dozen lovely colours, I'm showing you Wine. I matched it with another very lovely necklace from Indulge Temptation, and Dilly Dolls latest store release, that I just had to fatpack this morning, the Eory pumps.

12/11/2016 - Meh, long time no blog

It's not always easy to find the time to set up a blog post. But Oriana Kuhr from Dilly Dolls released a very pretty corset dress at The Liaison Collaborative and I thought you'd want to see it. The mesh is nicely rigged and apart from a poking nipple issue (easily fixed on the Maitreya body), it falls very nicely. I chose the dark tones fatpack, 6 colours for 400l$, which, if you ask me, is a super deal.

10/10/2016 - A little faerie dust

I think I still have my first dress from Evie's Closet in my inventory. It's from 2008. Evangeline Miles has always been one of my favourite designers in SL. And for a few years now she's also been one of my favourite people. Needless to say, when I heard she released a new dress for We ♥ RP, I just had to have it. The dress comes in standard sizing, but I was able to fit it on my Maitreya body, with the exception of the lovely sleeves, which Evie warned us about on her blog. The flower wreath comes with the dress.

08/10/2016 - One very mad Circus

Hello! It's been a fairly crazy first week back at RL work, after such a long break, I admit I'm exhausted. But I know it'll get easier.

I've had the honour of getting invited to participate in the second round of Twe12ve, a new event that starts, obviously, on the 12th of each month. Being in the group, I kept getting all these notices for another event, Mad Circus, that opened just a few minutes ago and runs until the end of the month. As soon as I was done with my boxing and set up, I took a look at what it was about. To quote the organisers, "The theme of the event is Halloween, dark, twisted, Alice in wonderland, circus bizarre."

I have found some things that I really like, and that I may show you in the next few days if I can manage the time, but here is the first outfit I set up, and I really love it! You'll find the credits at the end of the post, as usual, and the taxi to Mad Circus right here.

29/09/2016 - The girl in black

Hello everyone! I'm going back to RL work in a few days, and there's a chance that blog will once again disappear into oblivion... For that, I am sorry. But please keep following it, I'll try and post when I can.

My outfit today doesn't actually reflect my mood at the thought of going back to work, as I am in fact quite happy to get back on tracks with my first life.

21/09/2016 - Channeling my inner Nadj

Nadj is a RL friend of mine. She has green hair, loves all things octopusses, and is generally quite awesome. When I was sorting through the ever dreaded "objects" folder the other day, I found the Octo-tights Alaskametro released last year for Supa-8, and I just had to set up an outfit around them.

13/09/2016 - Autumn is coming...

I'm not a summer girl. My favourite seasons are spring and autumn, and even though it's still a bit early in the season, I yearn for quiet evenings and pumpkin spice lattes (that I'll have to make myself, as there's not Starbuck anywhere near)

12/09/2016 - Paper Rabbit

Hello!

When I was telling you I make 2 exceptions to my exclusiveness with skins, Paper Rabbit was one of the designers I was talking about. I don't know if you know that, but Helyanwe Vindaloo, the awesome hair creator behind Doe (previously known as Ploom, previously known as Deviant Kitties - yes, I've been in SL that long) also makes skins. Back when I was wearing a system head, I bought Willow, a lovely drawn skin, and then I was sad because I couldn't wear it anymore on my head. But now there are appliers so yay!

I'm showing you below a few examples of Willow on Yael's Logo head, then on Rose's Lelutka head.

When you buy the skin, you choose your skin tone among a dozen of them, and get a hud that allows you to pick a brow colour (and there's even a no brow option, I've been told it's a very useful feature) and a whole lot of eye make up, lipstick and lipgloss tones.

Head to Paper Rabbit to grab Willow!

10/09/2016 - Once upon a time I was a Fae

... and once in a while I let my inner fae out, just for the sake of it (and a pretty picture).
Like today, a greyish saturday morning, when I woke up way too early and even the cats are still sleeping, I feel a little nostalgia. I'd like to dedicate today's post to a few people who probably won't read it (and some who will), my crew from the sim-that-must-not-be-named. I miss you all.

Anyway, enough dwelling on the past, I dug up in my inventory for this one, and apart from the shoes and skin, nothing is even remotely recent, and some things may not even be available anymore. Still, credits as usual to be found after the picture.

09/09/2016 - Don't leave without me.

Hello!

I made a pretty picture and thought I'd show you. I finally got back to C88 to grab the gorgeous lingerie set by The Secret Store, because I woke up thinking about it. Also, today's Friday (yay!) and time for FLF. There are a lot of pretty things, but I chose the Elikatira hair.

08/09/2016 - C88!

Oh hello there! I went into C88 with a low budget today, so I grabbed all the demos, got home, tried everything, and managed to put together a nice outf with only 4 new items. I wish I could have spent more l$, because this round is particularly nice, but oh well, I'm happy with what I have, so there's that.

As far as skins are concerned, I'm very faithful. I've pretty much always worn the same designer, but once in a while, I make an exception, with 2 others that I like very much. Glam Affair is one of them, and her Lelutka applier skin at Collabor 88 is simply stunning.

That sexy suit is from Addams, and I confess, it wasn't the first piece of clothing I had my eyes on, but when I tried the demo I just had to have it. The mesh for the Maitreya body is simply flawless, no matter how I move, and the hardest part was to choose just one colour. It comes with the sexy bra that you can change the texture of, or choose not to show.

Talking about colour, I did fiddle a bit with the gorgeous shoes from Mutresse, to have them match the suit, but here again, the mesh is perfect, the design gorgeous, and for such a deal! Only 188l$ for the shoes, they come with a HUD with billions of different possibilities (trust me, I counted, twice).

04/09/2016 Who's Bad?

Hello!

I usually avoid gachas. They take all my money and I end up with a bunch of things I don't need and not the one thing I wanted. But I also usually make an exception with Clawtooth hair, because I don't need the rare, just the brunettes pack, and I tend to get lucky.

I went by the Dilly Dolls store today, because the Twisted Hunt has started and she had that gorgeous mesh corset out. I'm not one to show my boobies so I'm wearing a tank top layer from Izzie's underneath.
