10/03/2018 - Skin Fair 2018

Soooo, I went to Skin Fair. I braved the lag, detached all and grabbed as many demos as I could. I first have to say I am surprised at how many stores are not actually selling skins, but a bunch of other cosmetic things, like eyes, make up, tattoos... Anyway, I ended up buying 8 skins, and spending a lot more than I should have, but you know what? I love them all! So here they are :

DeeTaleZ - Hana - European

DeeTaleZ - Maria - European

Imabee - Atara - Stigma

Lara Hurley - Amy - Rose Pale

League - Amaia - Pale

Murray - Bianca - SKT20

Session - Gloria - Tone 1

The Skinnery - Jaclyn - Champagne

These skins are all shown on LeLutka Simone Bento head, with Banana Banshee Rosie shape and Lust eyes, and Magika Sudden hair.

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)

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.

28/08/2016 - Like a movie

Last night was Prom. From what I understand it's a very popular event people love to dress for and attend. Since I wasn't supposed to be home, I didn't even consider going, and when a crying 5 month old had my plans cancelled, I felt too shy to ask for an invite. So I took a picture this morning with that in mind, inspired by Strawberry Singh's SL movie poster challenge.

27/08/2016 - Something about Curio

Hello peeps!

There's a French saying that basically states that only stupid people never change their mind. Well. I always said I hated the Lelutka heads. And I did. With a passion. But then Gala Phoenix made appliers for Lelutka heads. So I just had to get one. I tried them all. Several times. And again. And I finally chose Karin, because to me it was the softest face. Then I added freckles. And glasses. And just like that, BOOM! It felt like me.

So I thought I'd show you. And play with it a little. I find it amazing how, with just a tiny change, it changes the personality of the face completely. As you probably can guess, #3 is me.

26/08/2016

Hello!

Just a quick picture, because I had fun taking it.
For the past few days I have been sorting my inventory, boxing, deleting old things, and rediscovering a bunch of very pretty clothes, hair, shoes.
The glasses however are fairly new, because I needed a new pair. RL me wears glasses and I feel SL me should too.

Men Only?

Howdy all, Angel Slocombe here your new Guy about town.
I was Shanghai'd .... um I mean I was asked very nicely *cough* to contribute to this blog after I was spotted spending way to much time gabbing in the Make Him Over group chat. The group is dedicated to male and unisex fashion and right now until Nov15th the focus is on the second Make Him Over gridwide hunt. 174 stores with male and unisex fashion are supplying all manner of goodies in this hunt and the quality of the prizes is pleasantly good. In fact I know a number of female avatars who are also doing this hunt because many of the clothes can be easily adapted for them too.
The variety of styles available is what struck me after unpacking all of my boxes so I thought I'd introduce myself by showing off 4 different looks I achieved using the prizes from this hunt.

Clothes incl Shoes are all from the prize at Deetalez.
Skin is from one of the two prizes at Hunk Factory.
Shape is part of the prize from PEER.
Eyes came from the prize from Melodic.
Hair came from the MADesigns prize.

Hair in the prize from Bryce.
Silks from Animations Rising/Rising Silks.
Skin - Edward Earth Gothic (not a hunt prize) by Subaru Design
Shape is made by myself.


Hair from prize by Rock Candy.
Clothes & Hat from prize by H.I.M Fashion
Skin - Edward Earth Gothic (not a hunt prize) by Subaru Design
Shape is made by myself.

Shape from the Prize by Maverick Design
Hair from the Prize by MADesigns
Eyes from the Prize by MAXeyes
Skin from one of the 2 Prizes by Hunk Factory
Boots from the Prize by 7071
Clothes from the Prize by Poised

I'd like to take this opportunity to also give an extra shout out to Animations Rising/Rising Silks an incredible store for men I rediscovered thanks to the MHOH. All the poses above are from one of their model pose sets and today they released an absolutely incredible set of Silks called Mythic which truly live up to their name. I just HAD to show you.



If Silks aren't your thing there are also a good number of high quality menswear shops on the same sim offering all kinds of styles.
