Vintage Country Girl

Vintage Country Girl

While cleaning my inventory I found a dress I got a long time ago, it was one of the first purchases I made in my SLife. I got it with the first lindens I bought back in March right after I decided I couldn't live just on freebies, and marks the begging of my sl shopping addiction. I couldn't believe I had forgotten about this masterpiece, with that vintage feel I always love.

The olive green and purple make a striking contrast, that I decided to accentuate even more with a knit cardigan from THE CLOSET and the Jewel Violet High Heels from Aoharu. The combination of textures and patterns made me feel like a country girl with some vintage flair.

P.S. I'd like to thank my friend Kotoko who made a low intensity face light which just rawks and made my pictures a lot better <3333

Beauty Avatar

I was lucky enough to receive some items from Beauty Avatar's new collection. I got this gorgeous dress which I matched with my Bax Coen Boots and gray tights. I love the little bow on the neck and the belt, they give a certain flair to this dress.

I also got some skins, I chose five out of the twelve new releases and let me tell you, it was a really hard choice to make. They all have outstanding quality and by that I mean, realistic details (such as the belly button) great shading on the body and really cute makeups.

Fashionable Bee

Today on one of my shopping trip I found a yellow coat from Little Fish, when I saw it I couldn't resist. I love the color, the texture and the belt I love to wear yellow in sl because in rl is a huge No-No for me , it just doesn't work with my skin tone. So I vent my desires to wear this color in rl through sl. Black and Yellow always make an increble color contrast, that's what Queen Bees has thought us. That's why I matched my new coat with a dark short denim skirt, black leggings and the black patent ankle boots from Bax Coen my favorite shoes at this moment (and the new love of my life). These are not only incredibly detailed and top notch quality, they are also incredibly vesatile.

Amanda @ Night

Amanda @ Night

Another week, another new skin release I can't wait to get my hands on, that seems to be the story of my SLife. This week's turn was to Laqroki and to the exquisite skins called Amanda. Today I decided to give my readers the best of both worlds, skin review and fashion all rolled into one single post, the result: Amanda @ Night.

This look came to my mind as soon as I saw DYN's new dress, for which I have to thank my friend Caileigh who took me there on a shopping spree. I decided to match it with one of the new hairs released by Kin, my fierce sandals from the HUB and this cute bag I found at Spices&Sugar.

Amanda

Definitively the finishing touch were the Amanda skins, just take a look at the incredibly detailed lips and eyebrows, which shows their high quality and outstanding realism.

'Till the next time!

Flapper Skins

Yesterday Bebae opened it's doors once again, of course the new flied fast and I went to get a hold of the new Anael skins, my personal favorites. It's very common to find skin reviews everyday in different fashion blogs, considering that skins are an essential for sl good looks, but reading over and over this kind of post might turn boring. That's why I gave this "review" my own personal twist, so I decided that instead of bikinis or naked pixels I would sport my flapper dress (mostly because I don't find enough opportunities to wear it :P) and do a 20's inspired skin review. If that makes any sense at all.

Flapper Skins
Anael Cinna skin tone: Bare| Plum| Rouge.

Flapper Skins
Anael creme skin tone: Classic| Runway| Sweet.

I'm a pale skin fan, and I'm still undecided in terms of which skin tone I like more if creme or cinna. But one thing is sure, whether you choose creme, cinna or any other skin tone you will get delicate and soft makeups with incredible facial and body shading.

Goth Glam

Goth Glam
Today I decided to step outside of my comfort zone, and finally try a fashion trend known as Soft Goth. So I left all bright and soft colors behind and replaced them with Black, the color most commonly related with glamour and elegance, but also a challenge for fashion lovers everywhere (being a difficult color to work with). The necklace was the main tool to bring the "glam" into the "soft goth", it certainly changed the whole look proving once again that accessories can change the perspective of a whole outfit.

Taking a risk is good once in a while and I took the plunge today with this ensemble.

Snow White

White n' Warm

I've always liked Snow White more than any other fairy tale, and it might be the reason why I avoid tanning in rl. Anyway this post isn't about the Disney princess (sorry to mislead all of you with the title) but it's about this winter look. I decided to wear all white and the inspiration were these ear muffs, the result of a delightful collaboration between GBL and BOOM. The coat and the boots were no brainers, I just went to the place whit the widest and most charming collection for this season: Aoharu.

Muffums

Hope you all like it ;)

P.S. The place used for these pictures was my living room for which I have to thank Dahlia Eilde and of course Colleen Desmoulins. XD

Detective Arado: The Case of the Flared Tweeds

Detective Arado

So today I went into a severe fashion crisis, I had no idea of what to wear and how to match this gorgeous tweed flared pants I got from Aranel Ah (thanks again! btw). I figured a tunic long sweater and a belt would be ideal since the pants already have volume I didn't want to add more to the outfit in order to get a nice silhouette.

After I finished my outfit and I was finally pleased with it I realized I looked like the updated female version of Sherlock Holmes! since tweed and hats seemed to be a constant in his wardrobe. It's probably the fact that I almost never wear hats which made me feel like a detective LOL.

Bye!

Texture Rich

Texture Rich

I was looking for inspiration for a new outfit, and while looking at the UK Vogue, inspiration hit me in the form of tweed, argyle and knit. I'm usually rather conservative when it comes to mixing patters and texture, but this time I went for it and took a risk. The result was this girly and cozy look and since the idea came from the UK, it was only fair to pay some kind of tribute. That's why I went to the Knigtsbridge sim and used it as a background, after all not everyday I decide to put leather, argyle, knit and tweed all into the same outfit.

Yes... Houndstooth Again!

Yes... Houndstooth again

This week the new main store of Bijou was opened and of course, with new releases. It has been one of the biggest news and it has been all over the fashion blogs, so evidently I had to go and take a look. I've been a great fan of Bijou for a long time, and I was on the verge of tears when SL ate 1k items of my inventory and with those I lost all my Bijou stuff. So I figured it was time to move on and start the recovery and well... nothing better to cheer you up after such a traumatic incident than getting your inventory full of new releases.

So the first thing that caught my attention was this coat and even though not long ago I did a post with a houndstooth pattern jacket I just couldn't help it. I matched the coat with a beige tank top and boots (from ETD still on sale WooT!), the espresso city slacks from Novocaine and as a finishing touch I added a choker from Malt Fashions.

Yes... Houndstooth again

Until the next time! ;)

New Releases from Laqroki!!

Suzu by Laqroki
Clara by Laqroki


I've always been a great fan of Laqroki, my usual skin is from there and I have to say that I haven't found any other skins that fit me so well as Laqroki does. Mallory Cowen was kind enough to send me a folder of the new and exciting releases to do a review, and well I can't say anything bad about it all I can do is wear them and admire the excellent detailing and shading.

Jasmin by Laqroki

I don't know how but they managed to do it once again! Everything from the lips, the eyebrows to the gorgeous makeup reminds of just one word: Perfection.

Don't forget to check out the Laqroki main store, it re-opened today!

Mimikri Glamour

Mimikri Glamour

As soon as I found out Mimikri had a new dress out I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, and now you can see why. It's called Ma Chere and it comes in a long and short version, the skirt texture simply evokes glamour and elegance. Since I chose the blueberry dress I decided to accesorize it with a silver belt and bracelet. As a final touch, I decided to wear the new hair from UncleWeb, because I figured that it was only appropriate to wear one new release with another.

Going Undercover

Going Undercover
Today I found out that the FNKY! is having a 50% off sale, so evidently I immediately went there and got these glasses. They reminded me of a typical celebrity pretending to go undercover and trying to walk down the streets undetected. We all know that the glasses probably get more attention and that this strategy almost never works, but I fell in love with them and since I'm not a celebrity well... I don't need to worry LOL.
Going Undercover II
We all know that the accessory of this season are scarfs, that's why I was thrilled to find in ETD the Davina hair which has a scarf attached to it and it color changes. I saw this as an investment more than as an expense considering that you can change the color of the scarf to match every outfit you want.

Since I won't deprive myself of the pleasure of wearing a mini skirt even when it's cold, I wore some leg warmers and Violá problem solved! The jacket from A.Y.Y caught my attention from the moment I walked into the store, I adore the pattern and it was the inspiration behind this outfit.

Ju Ju's Closet

Ju Ju's Closet

A few days ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Juwan Lane (the owner of Ju Ju's Closet) while James was taking our pics for the Headshot Series. The next thing I knew she was giving us some items from her store (WooT!!), she pleased me and gave everything in my favorite color: Red. She actually gave me my first pair of chucks in sl (I know shocking) and since that day I don't take them off. I lovers them! She also gave me a red dress and the best part is that it has bows!! (fyi I have a thing for bows if you haven't noticed by now, just look at my older posts).

Ju Ju's Closet allows you to dress in a casual manner (picture 1) but it also let's you feel girly and classy wearing that cute short dress. So don't forget to check it out, Ju Ju's Closet is definitively worth a visit ;)

Golden Diva!

Golden Diva

Black has to be recognized as the most elegant color, it's appropriate for almost every occasion and has been an endless source of inspiration for fashionistas everywhere. Even though many people say "you can never go wrong with black" I have proven that to be wrong. I have witnessed how some turn black into a dull color, instead of being the representation of glamour that we all know and love.

A way in which I avoid the dullness is by using a color contrast, and this time I gave shine to my outfit with Gold. Accessories are of the utmost importance when it comes to making an outfit an utter success, so I decided that all my accessories would be gold and black. From the necklace to the exquisite ankle boots (for which I have to thank Emmleigh again, she knows I have thing for bows) black and gold are always present, giving light to the outfit.

Friday Look!

Friday Look

I was looking for something special for Friday, an outfit that said "I'm ready to party!" but also stated that I was going to do it with style. I think the teal tights with that glittery texture evokes the Friday night clubbing scene while the scarf and necklace give a composed and elegant touch to the outfit. For the heels I have to thank Emleigh who took me to Kookie today and I found the perfect shoes to complete the look, they are gray and they have a bow! (god listened to my prayers) Need I say more?

Black, White and Red

Black, White and Red

Hello everyone! It's the start of a new week, yeah it's Monday *sighs* meaning for most people that it's time to get back to work, that's why it's usually known as a very depressing day. For that very reason I thought of starting this week with the right foot and the attitude to match. Instead of going into a caffeine overdose (as I usually do on Mondays) I decided that my outfit could help me get the energy I need to get through the day. Black, White and Red are my favorite colors they go great together and provide an incredibly stylish contrast which I find refreshing and vibrant. This incredible jacket from MECHANISM will help me keep my mood up and will guarantee a great start for this week.

In a man's Jacket

In a man's jacket

So yesterday I found a jacket for only 30L (I know amazing! specially considering the quality of the texture) and it looked so good, the only problem was that it was made for men. So I wondered if it was possible to make it work for me, I had tried it once when I got a free jacket on the lucky chair of the Aoharu's men section with no success... LOL... I just couldn't let that L go to waste. So finally after about an hour of intense editing this is how the jacket came to look on me. I gave it a feminine touch with a pink scarf and pink shoes to match, I've always thought that gray and pink look great together. As a finishing touch I added the Maitreya Old Leather Belt into the mix.

Shoe Craze!

Shoe Craze II

What can I say? I just love shoes! and I was lucky enough to find some really unique high heels, and well they're just adorable. What I like the most about them is how they remind me of Sex and the City, and I can feel like Carrie Bradshaw looking fashionable through the streets Manhattan. I searched left and right for an outfit to match these adorable pumps, ended up going for a Cashmere skirt and the Savvy? Bustier in teal. The finishing touch and the one that allowed the outfit to actually blend in together was the belt by M*A*ii*K*I.

Since these pumps left me in a flowery mood I wore a necklace that goes accordingly: the Chicoco floral necklace.

Hope you guys liked it!

Checker


Hey everyone! I come with this new look, and since I'm kinda in a hurry I'm going to make this a short post.
It had been a while since I visited E.M.A (after all I already owned the whole store), and it sure was a pleasant surprise to find some new releases, one of them being this jacket . This store has been my secret (until now), because you can find unique pieces at an incredibly low price. I figured this jacket would be look perfect with my Maitreya Dune Boots and my favorite updo hair in this moment (Kyoot's Army Hot Mess).

Bye!

The 80's

It's not a secret the fact that the 80's have been making a strong comeback, elements such as leggings and leg warmers have a place in our everyday wardrobe once again. This trend is far from fading away, if anything it's getting stronger. One of the stores in sl that has taken care of preserving such trend has been Emery, luckily enough they have a new collection out and of course I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

My favorite was the new Emery Ringleader of the Tormentors Outfit (which I'm wearing in the first pic), and as everything in that store it combines 80's with Rock & Roll with such an explosive and fabulous mixture Emery captivates us yet again.

While I was feeling still 80's inspired from my visit to Emery, I went through my inventory and as a result this second outfit was born. I'll let all of you be the judges.

'Till the next time

Blanco & Negro

So last weekend I graduated in rl.. yay!! Since my school is not into the traditional graduation outfit (cap, gown and tassel) and well neither am I. I took it as an opportunity to go shopping in rl and after visiting many stores and having sore feet, ended up deciding to wear this: a white coat, black dress underneath, black basic tights and black and white heels (to keep it clean and simple). I spent some more time shopping in sl trying to recreate this look and Armidi gave me the chance do it, because luckily they have a coat almost identical to the one I wore.

And well black and white is always a good combination, a fantastic contrast that is bound to look just classy and elegant. I was lucky to find in both rl and sl the black and white heels that just finished the look (the only difference is that in rl I had to practice for weeks with them so I wouldn't fall on top of the dean while getting my diploma, which for those who know me, wouldn't come as a surprise).


P.S. I managed to get my diploma and I didn't trip :P

Oh Novocaine!

I have noticed that many blogs have talked about how great Novocaine's hair is, and it's true it's amazing. But we cannot leave aside the clothes, to show all of you how great they are I got two of the new releases (both in red , no surprise there huh?). The new Valencia dress is just to die for! the texture and detailing are gorgeous. To accessorize I decided to wear a necklace James gave me as a graduation gift, and which also happened to be a perfect match for this dress.
For the second outfit I went for a more casual look, wearing the new Novocaine's Genevieve Long Sweater with black leggings and a simple black scarf from Aoharu, which I stretched and made a little longer.

Kyoot Army's Hot Mess!


For all of the Kyoot Army fans out there, such as myself it was very good news when they began doing hair, and now I'm even happier because they released a new hair style called Hot Mess. It comes in two different versions with or without bangs, both are just plain fantastic. I like the fact that the hair seems to have an Amy Winehouse feel to it, without being a mere copy.
This is my favorite hair at this moment, I feel it can enhance any outfit and make you stand out!

Bye!

Warm & Cozy

These days it seems like it's getting colder by the minute, and that those tank tops and shorts will have to be stored until the sun decides to come out again. In the meantime, I'm getting all my jackets, sweaters and scarfs out there and I'm really happy about the new season that has arrived. I've always found the autumn- winter fashion collections much more interesting and elegant, I guess that's the reason why I won't be missing the summer days.

Since it's the time for warm and cozy clothing, I bring to you guys one of my recent discoveries: the new Laqroki Knit Cardigan. It's girly and cute I love it! Laqroki (as always) brings us top quality and style. I decided to accessorize with a hair band (those who are fans of Blair's style, know the fantastic twist a hair band can give to a whole outfit) from Chicoco, they have the best I've seen in sl so far. I went for a black and white combination, I always find that contrast appealing and classy.
