School Daze

So, it's definately that time of year again. School is just around the corner. The Fall lines are starting to hit the market. The nights are a bit cooler, whispering that summer is about to be drifting off. The news {atleast in my neck of the woods} starts rattling off the newest back to schools sales, and glorious talk about the myriad of savings "No Tax" week will bring to the city.

In light of the onslaught of back to school memos, commercials and "ridiculously low" prices, I put together a little outfit for hitting all those sales. Something that protects against the impending,cooler temperatures. And perhaps, against that slimy salesman who tries to get you to buy more than you really need.....

Perfect Pairings

It's raining here, not one of those romantic thunderstorms where you snuggle up beside a loved one. But one that hits unexpectedly mid afternoon. The sunshine quickly fading, leaving you feeling just -blah- But aha! It's always sunny in Second Life {thanks to those wonderful environment settings}. And what better way to cheer yourself up then to don some wonderful summer attire from Alexohol! Who, by the way is currently still at the Summer of Love Fair. Running till the 8th of August, so make sure you head on down there!
On the left, a fun lil bikini that's offered free at SOL made by Alexohol in the question marks littered about the sim. All in plain sight and bright green. The flip flops are from Parx, a previous hunt giftie {but plz, don't ask me which one, I can't remember} On the right, another offering at the SOL by Alexohol,  the flirty, Cayman Sunset {sol edition-(not free)} Paired with Baby Monkey's Classic Flat{red}
The hair in both pics is another past hunt giftie, Wyeld by Dark Side Creations
I had to get a close-up on these two skins both offered at the Summer of Love Venue by III. -whispers- And III doesn't limit her talents to just skins, she makes clothing too ladies! On the left, Summer tone - SOL - Skin 2. On the right, Summer tone -SOL - Skin 1. I love the subtle tan offered up in this skin. Just a hint of a summer's kiss. Both skin's were complemented by Acide's Obsession {black} piercing. And finally, my only other accessory to both outfits 
 -I know...scary right? me? only 2 accessories? By Kay's
-Nails-  {kissed}. They were just to adorable, in a baby pink hue, a pouty lil kiss done in red as an embellishment.

Utopia


I was a feeling a bit more formal last night. Needed more of a romantic end to my SL day. So off I went in search of unicorns and fountains, of course, in one of, Saby Clary of -Utopia- creations. Her work is phenomenal. Rich, vivrant textures with skirts ranging from Cinderella ballroom, to straight cut evening gowns, dusting the floors.





I choose 'Tiffany' for my excursion. The criss crossed bodice with the plunging neckline, was revealing, but at the same time left plenty to the imagination. In my mind it was the image of a butterfly settled upon the breastplate.The lower fit of the bodice gave an almost see through appearance {with what I am thinking} is a gossamer material. The dainty gloves, come to just above the elbow, with a white embellishment that rivals the image made by the neckline.

The skirt, black, was the perfect contrast to the top, and hung low on the hip. it's flexi prims swung perfectly during dance and walking. The glitch pants underneath were not heavily exposed with each step {something I simply detest} so there was nothing to complain about. Well.... Okay there was one thing. Whether I should go with the black or white fur boa, both of which are included with the dress. As you can see I opted for black.

Hair was..... That's right, [Truth], by the infamous Truth Hawk. I chose Nikhita2 with it's simple swept back feel, tied in the back, with a loose, fringy bun. A simple sterling jewelry ensemble from Alienbear Designs {alienbearxagnes}seeing as how the dress was a statement in itself. Lashes from Glam Affair {lashes of petals}The shoes are from the shoe extradonaire herself, Stiletto Moody. {Bare-Ginger}.

IBIZARRE




So, there I was. Minding my own business when -BAM- an epic notice pops open in my right hand corner. Sale....I'm sure it said something after that, but to be honest, I quit reading after the word sale.
I was just milling around taking a look at the selection, happily I might add, considering my lag factor was nil. Things were rezzing beautifully and I really had a chance to look at the designs and textures. Needless to say I was impressed, since Ibizarre was a new find for me.
 I chose the Ornament Coat which included the black pants. I won't even tell you wait I paid for this lil gem, well, because I'd hate for you to pass out and not finish reading my entry {but also you just HAVE to go check this store out for yourself!}! Once I geared up, I figured this lil ensemble reminded me of an 'on the go' city chic look -so- thusly I popped myself right over to a New York themed burrough with beautiful lil brownstones {as you can see in the back ground} Since the black pants were cut like a skinny leg jean and had no lower leg attachment points, I paired this beaut up with Addictia's {adnata in graphite} boots. MiaMai's Ellek sculpted ponitail {white ribbon} was the perfect soft yet stylish look to compliment the high, bowled collar. Jewelry consisted of bangles from YS&YS {timbouctu}, and small bangle earrings from Sole Accesory {quilting piece-fatpack-gray}. To tie up the loose ends Klee lashes from Detour and Nails from one of my faves, Candy Nails {lock black}

My Precious




So I came across this group notice anouncing the My Precious Queen Contest & thier upcoming open casting call for new models. After reading about it {you can read for yourself here} I figured, hey why not me? I drug out the old photo studio and snapped a few pics. Unfortunately I do not have the epic photoshop skills many other bloggers do {sowwy}. But here's what I came up with. Of course, I will add the new professional pics I actually submit :)~ The dress is Chrissy {black} and per the photo requirements you could only accesorize with Alienbear Designs, but who's complaining right? Her makes are fab! I chose her Natasja Set in Gold to compliment the sleek drop made by the plunging neckline. Shoes are from one of my fave stores B&G {selena in champagne} I chose a sleek modern hair style from Miamai. I was absolutely thrilled to finally find hair of this type {tattoo hair base w/ sculpted attachment} in my chosen color. I love Le Lutka but thier reds, much to my dismay, just didn't fit my normal color shade. I do however still have my fingers crossed that Le Lutka will make a deeper shade soon so I can smother her with my Linden Luvin! And finally, nails from La Boheme {dkh -tiger} and lashes from FNKY & Cake {cleo}

HLD *China Doll*




I've always had an affinity for eastern flair, and this dress by HLD screamed my name upon first sight. The high collar is perfectly suited for a soft updo{Fri.Day - Tatum}, while the plunge of the neckline coupled with this daringly high hemline just exude sexy. While I chose not to wear the added flowered hairpin and bracelet they are included with the outfit, at the astonishing low price of 200L. Oh Em Gee what a steal, right? I went with gently crafted pieces from Alienbear Designs for the necklace and matching earrings {Natasja in gold} The bangles were a perfect fit from YS&YS {summer bangles-Meadow}. The bird tale lashes from Glam Affair seemed to mesh so easily with this outfit, completing it much to my delight!


Zaara


Another romatic summer look c/o Zaara. She's been blogged a thousand times over, but the quality of her work deserves it. Wearing Mrinali in sunshine, the colors just flow so well with a summer sunset. I paired it with a bangle from Creamshop{lily bangle-orange} and a simple pair of hoops from Iced. The hair is from one of my favorite stylists, Truth {Kylie in Sangria}.And completeing the look, nails from Candy Nail {Flower Garden green}

Miss Bliss Couture 2011



So, if you haven't already heard the 2011 Miss Bliss Couture Contest has begun. You can read the Official news here. I thought I'd have a gander at entering this year, so I began my search in Bliss Couture for my choice of outfit. The options were of course infinite, and each one just as phenomenal as the next! I finally settled on Jennie in gold, thinking most girls would go for formal wear as it is done so well here. It also just felt perfect for summer. Not to mention the ensemble could be worn in a variety of settings. From a day on the boat to a romantic dinner shoreshide, it's simply versatile. I paired Jennie with an elegant braided updo by Mirai and the Bubbles{gold} Jewelery set by Ganked. The oversized glam bangle earrings in white from Creamshop, Diva Pink{nails} from Candy Nail, and Bird Tale Lashes from Glam Affair complete the accesories for the look. I chose to finish the look with a pair of sexy, strappy heels from B&G. {Selena in Champagne} Photo Credits to *Rawr Adored* of A Touch of Glamour Photography Studio.

Where to begin?

Nothing extraordinary going on here. Just another simple girl enamoured with the addictive capabilities of Second Life fashion. I've been in Sl for 3+ years now, and could simply kick myself for not making a reminder to myself of all the great styles I've donned over that time.

I'm not here to be the next "hot" blogger for Sl fashion. Simply hoping to make a blogroll of what I "dress the dollie" in. And if others should happen to take a liking to what they see, then all the better!

And with that said......
It begins!
