Ethnic & Boho

Ethnic & Boho

This outfit was inspired by the new jacket Zaara released today! The Inka Jacket has an ethnic feel just like everything else at Zaara. I also found this amazing and cute dress from So Many Styles along with the necklace. I had some trouble putting this outfit together because and I insist: We need more attachment points!! But with a little bit of editing and by shrinking the skirt a little, the problem was solved.

Hope you like it!

Wild & Demure

I decided to take the Ivalde blogger challenge! And the results were two completely opposite looks. One of them very demure, inspired by the top of the Ellisiv Dress with that stunning bow and or which I have to give part of the credit to Uma, her blog gave me the idea of how to pair this top, specially because I needed a high waist skirt in order for the outfit to blend well together.

Demure

The second look came together as soon as I saw the zebra belt that came with the Ivalde's Svala outfit. Lately I'm liking animal printed accessories and dresses, which is strange in me since I usually avoid them. I've seen on some Michael Kors wallets a very interesting combination of zebra animal print with hot pink, which I wanted to recreate in this look. The messy hair and the fierce AW Design shoes were just a no brainer when it came to executing the idea I had in mind.

When it comes to Ivalde all you need is a little of imagination, the wide variety of styles the have available, allows you to go from Demure to Wild in a second!

Boots And The City

Thigh High Boots have become an obsession for me lately, considering that they're an incredibly difficult item to include in an outfit, well... at least in a stylish manner. As a big fan of Sex and the City I tried to recreate a look once sported by Carrie Bradshaw, who was able to prove that thigh high boots can be the epitome of good taste. These boots were also worn by Pretty Woman before Richard Gere picked her up, not a good reference if you ask me, but they were also worn by Anne Hathaway on the Devil Wears Prada. Meaning that it's not always fair to put a clothing item into a negative category, it's just a matter of how to wear it.

Elin: Boho and Earthy

2009 started as a year very quiet, in terms of sl fashion. Nothing excited seemed to be going on, and you couldn't find almost no new releases. I'm very glad to see that such period has come to an end, numerous releases are now available and I was excited to see that Laqroki was no exception.

They have released a new skin line called Elin Glow Skins, this was a great news for me considering I'm a Laqroki fanatic! What I love the most of these new skins is the improved shading with a very sexy and natural cleavage, and the lips are just too darn realistic! It's just all about the lips. I can always tell a skin's quality by the eyebrows and these don't fail to deliver, they're very detailed. They also come in a wide variety of makeups, the pack comes with 12 of them to be exact.

Elin: Laqroki's new release!

With the new skins in my inventory I wanted to have a little fun, and went for a boho and earthy look, inspired by these gorgeous Gbberish Wedges. The vest was a great find for only 50L at the amazing Pink Outfitters sale (still going on!).

Glamazon

Glamazon

Today has been a day of great acquisitions for me, in terms of sl fashion. I woke up to find exciting news: DeLa had released a new a beautiful coat! I immediatly ran to the store and got myself one, I chose it in black because lately I just can't get enough of that colour. Later on I was spoiled (big time!) by my big sis Destiny who just found unbearable the idea that I didn't have any Stiletto Moody shoes. So she just sent me my first pair! which I thought matched my new coat to perfection giving the all black look a lighter mood.

This new hair from Vintage Wear suited perfectly the glamorous feel of this outfit, just like the necklace from Lucas Lameth.

Stripes Overload

Stripe Overload

As to how I define this look, I'm still undecided. Sometimes I feel it resembles a 60's mod style but then I think about it and not quite. All I know for certain is that it's retro and that it has a bunch of stripes. Sometimes it's better to avoid putting something inside a category and this time I simply gave up.

Stripe Overload

This outfit began while I was trying to find something to wear with this top and when I found these Gigi Couture pants, it was simply to perfect to resist it. A splash of colour to the black and white top and pants was in serious need, that's why I went for hot pink with necklace, earrings and shoes. What I like the most about this look it's the way it came together, it was a natural process not one of those times in which you're trying to force it to match and make it work, it just did.

Hope you like it!
