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.

From top to bottom: ENEA - Light Skin 10| KAHINA- Natural Skin 05
MORGANA-Natural Skin 08| NEMESIS_V2- Natural Skin 08| RACHELE- Natural Skin 04

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

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.

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.

Anael Cinna skin tone: Bare| Plum| Rouge.


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

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.
