Say It Isn't So!

One of my favorite stores in Second Life, The Sea Hole, is closing soon.  This makes me sad because I've always enjoyed the creator's original style and flair for producing unique clothing to dress up in.  I wish you all the best, Drinkinstein Sorbet... you will be sorely missed !!!

If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right

Oh my!  I've fallen deeply into love with this new release from Gos, the Grace Sandal in Electric Blue!  The reason... the hud & website (complete with username and password!) that allow you to match your skin EXACTLY and PERFECTLY!  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Gospel Voom! 

Matching shoes to skin has been the most painful process for me in the past... but those days are OVER!  I'm so excited that not only has the creator revolutionized the process, but he also released FOUR new styles in gorgeous colors using the new hud.  If you listen closely now, you just might hear angels singing the Hallelujah Chorus! ;-)

In the closeup photo above you can just barely make out the line where mesh meets avatar, but it is really not obvious enough that I'd be at all worried about it. 

Now on to the rest of my outfit...

I'm wearing a fantastic dress in the perfect shade of electric blue to match my shoes.  The dress comes in a fat pack of R.icielli bandage dresses that are currently available at The Dressing Room Fusion.  The price is amazingly low and I love how the dress fits my avatar. 

I accessorized my outfit with jewelry by Yummy, available at the current edition of Collabor88.  My hair is one of my all-time favorites from elikatira, a style called Caramel.  My eyes are from the wonderful Kaleidoscope collection, available at IKON.  I love how the texture really makes the color pop and my goal is to collect every color in this wonderful set of eyes.

I took the photos in Exposeur and The Loft's wonderful Room of Balloons pose prop, available at the current edition of Collabor88.

In The Mood For Black Damask

FireBird Design's newest creation blows me away!  I absolutely love the damask texture on the skirt and the top is so sexy.  I'm wearing the solid version of the top, but there is a sheer version for the more adventurous! ;-)

The bangles and belly ring are also from FireBird Design and really complete the outfit!  I have total L-O-V-E for this outfit and I may never take it off!

FireBird Design's Off-Shoulder Sweater Dress

I feel like a super hero in this new off-shoulder striped sweater dress from FireBird Designs!  It is mesh and moves like a dream as I valiantly fight evil... ;-)

All kidding aside, it is a terrific looking dress and comes with a texture change hud with three color variations.  I paired the dress with Redgrave's fantastic Bonnie Boots.  My hair is Elikatira's Studio and I'm wearing Blonde 02 from the Essentials pack.

I photographed today's look at the S.I.C.47 sim, a grungy, urban sim where you can find actual combat taking place.  In fact, I think I was shot a couple of times while I was there... so excuse me while I check myself for holes. :)

LoLa @ Acid Lily Gallery

Acid Lily Gallery, the fabulous fashion showcase, is all NEW with wonderful creations all under $70L each!  For today's look, I've chosen this fun ensemble from LoLa.  I love the worn look of the jeans.  The top is mesh and I'm wearing the small size.  It is nicely shaped and the texture is perfect for this look.  It is hard to see from the photographs, but the graphic on the shirt is "Sweet". :)

The outfit also includes the black bangles.  I added my favorite belt from Pepper and engineer boots from CoCo.  My hair is a gorgeous mesh style from Elikatira called Caramel and my skin is the lovely Julia from Al Vulo.

It's a fun and sweeeeeeeet look that I've fallen in love with and one that I'll be wearing often!

Ison @ Vintage Fair

I found today's outfit at Vintage Fair in the Ison booth.  I love the shape and soft muted colors of this dress!  The Ison Carazon boots are also available at Vintage Fair.  Both items are mesh and fit like a dream!

My mesh hair is Caramel from Elikatira and my skin is the current group gift from Mirror's Enigma, the lovely Bern.  

I photographed today's look in the amazing Barnesworth Anubis Fabienne pied-a-tierre Skybox that is available at the current edition of Collabor88.  It is such an incredible build and a really lovely place to live.  :)

Nylon Outfitters @ Collabor88

The new edition of Collabor88 is the best ever!  The theme is "Baroque" and the designers have simply outdone themselves!  Collabor88 is celebrating their first birthday and there are almost twice the number of vendors involved this time around!

This wonderful outfit from Nylon Outfitters caught my eye immediately!  I love the colors, the interesting combination of elements and textures.  Oh, and it's not mesh! (That's for all my friends who haven't quite embraced mesh yet, lol!)

I did some inventory diving and found the plum leggings from Slut and the G Field mesh boots (Gina in purple).

The Yummy Moonsung earrings and necklace, also available at Collabor88, fit in perfectly with the outfit.  My skin is Glam Affair's Roza BaroQ 03.  There are three versions of Rosa on display at Collabor88... I chose the third and added eyeshadow from Mons and lipgloss from luju. 

My hair is another gorgeous mesh style from Elikatira called "Found".  I'm wearing the Blonde 07 shade from the Essentials pack. 

I love this "baroque" look so much... I think I'll go play my harpsichord now. :)

LIV-Glam @ Acid Lily Gallery

I received a notecard announcing that Acid Lily Gallery was new so I rushed over and quickly snapped up this lovely dress from LIV-Glam.  I love the texture and the cut of this dress... the sleeves are really well done!  This dress also comes with a texture change HUD and there are SEVEN different colors to choose from!

I added G Field's Alex Strap Shoes in Lime.... I just love lime green!  My nails are Izzie's Classic Nails and I'm wearing them in lime green as well. :)

My hair is a gorgeous style from Elikatira called Caramel.  I'm wearing Blonde 07 from the Essentials Collection.  It fits and moves with my avatar beautifully!  My skin is new from Al Vulo!, a very pretty skin called Julia.  I was delighted to find a set of mesh eyelashes included in the skin folder... the first set I've ever owned.  I found them very easy to adjust to fit my eyes and I'm a convert to mesh lashes now!

Aleida Birthday Sale

A little bird told me that Aleida was having a Birthday Sale with EVERYTHING in the store marked 50-70% off, so I quickly flew over and picked up this lovely outfit.  I'm wearing the Nuuk Coat in olive and it fits beautifully!  I paired it with the Izabella Croco Pants in black, also from Aleida and these lovely boots from Finesmith.  My jewelry is Onyx Stone Jewelry from Izzie's.

I simply adore this smooth "Rhythm" hair from Elikatira!  It's a great style to wear when you don't want your hair sinking into sculpted clothing such as this coat. :)

Aleida's sale will end on March 15th, so hurry on over to find your own Aleida goodness at greatly reduced prices!
