The Zebra & The Racer

Zebra

I haven't blogged in a while and to make it up to you I made a 2 in 1 blog post. As you can see these two outfits have a retro background and a similar structure (leggings, belt and big earrings). In comparison, I feel the first look is a safer option, and a little more demure, but still edgy enough with the bold choice of colors and the zebra on the dress. But if you feel you want to take a fashion risk I'd do go for the second look, which reminds me of car racing because of the colors and the pattern of the pants.

Racer

I hope you like them!

Black & Gold

Black & Gold

Yesterday it was the grand opening of Axel's new store! and as soon as I walked in and managed to rezz this skirt caught my eye, the pattern and the colors are stunning. I figured the Kookie chic heels would be a great match, so I decided to give prim toes another chance, this time with better results, I found these easy to work with and to change the color of the toes.

To go accordingly with the ethnic/tribal mood this look has I accessorized with a Lucas Lameth set which includes a nose pierce and with an Uzuri bracelet.

On a different subject, I was very lucky to receive Laqroki's new release: Tess. As usual you can expect great body and facial detailing and amazing shading. Tess however is easily identified by the cute little freckles on her nose and cheeks, which makes her unique. In conclusion, a great addition for your inventory and to the glow skin line by Laqroki.

Nautical

Nautical

It all began when I wanted to do a preppy look, but at first I was going for a golfer kinda look composed mostly by pastels. The direction of this look changed quickly thanks to my love for primary colors, what was unexpected was the fact that I ended up looking like a sailor. I guess you can never completely predict or control how the final result.

Opposites

I was spoiled with Beauty Avatar's new skin releases! Alyssa and Nelly. Alyssa is a hot brunette while Nelly has a very light colored eye brows, which makes her ideal to be a platinum blond. I fell in love with the way both of them suited my shape, which I didn't have to modify, but I have to admit that being a brunette myself in both rl and sl I feel more inclined towards Alyssa.

Opposites: Alyssa

Opposites: Nelly

Next to previous Beauty Avatar skins I noticed and great improvement of the light skin tone, which seems more natural now. The shading (which I always look at very closely) is nicely done and very natural, notice the soft cleavage, the toned stomach and the legs. Another improvement I found were the lips, they now have a delicate glow that makes them look more natural and luscious. These skins just keep improving with time, and with a wide variety of makeups they seem like a no-brainer when it comes to skin shopping.

It has taken me a while to blog again, mostly because I feel uninspired. It seems like every outfit I put together isn't blog worthy, it has been such a bad case of lack of creativity that I don't even know what to wear on an average sl day. Finally yesterday this top gave me a reason for a new post, you can always count on Baiastice for simplicity and elegance that's for sure.

P.S. I have to thanks Mandra Moody who helped me with the finishing touches for this look <333
