Holy Cow, I'm White and Nerdy!

So.. while in school, I was the total nerd. No joke! I mean.. the only things I lacked were the glasses and the inhaler. But well.. yeah, I had glasses for a while. I was the big kid, with square glasses, Academic Decathlon, top of the class even though I never did my homework. I always read ahead of the class, and I wrote research papers for fun. Oh, yeah. I was majorly white and nerdy. So it's no doubt that I always wanted to do a nerdy type post. Nerds have a weak spot in my heart.. Because.. deep down, I guess I'm still the same white and nerdy girl that used to walk around Cinco Ranch High. Nerdy and to the extreme, bitches!

So.. how did I achieve this look? I didn't want to be just pure nerd, I wanted it to be fashionably nerdy, so, in Acid Lily, you'll find these cute blazers with undershirts from Even.Flow. Total love! Specially this nerdy red top with suspenders on them, I'll be honest, this inspired the whole look. At first there was a minor problem with the mesh, but the designer was really good about it, and fixed it in a couple hours, so thanks to all of them for that! And it comes as a lesson, guys, if you're nice, and kindly point out a small flaw in the item, they will appreciate it, just don't do it in a rude manner.. that gets you nothing, but a gentle pointing out will always be appreciated!

So.. the next thing was.. I need big HUGE nerdy glasses, so I grabbed Burley glasses, the readers from them.. total hit in the ball park, the only way they could be better is if they had tape on them.. but.. we're keeping it fashionable, so this is good. I also wanted messy hair, and since I'm a brunette in real life, and I'm using myself for some inspiration, I went brunette. Now, I don't know how long it's going to last.. But Elikatira still has their retirement sale going on, so make sure to grab all the styles before they go bye bye. They're only like.. 80L.. so don't wait! You'll regret it. I also wanted a messy bun, since that was pretty much my go to hair style, and still is... I guess old habits die hard. I finalize it with just a nice pair of jeans, since the top is baggy, I wanted tight skinny jeans, and I also wore comfortable flats that really didn't match the outfit just to make it more endearing.

Now.. Can't you see I'm white and nerdy?

I Took the One Less Traveled by, and that Has Made All the Difference.

So much newness, so little time. Really, I feel like an influx of things coming for me to post, and me not able to keep up with all of them!

Wunderland has come out with a new release, it's a simple tank top, and comes with a feather design to it, or no design whatsoever. Personally, I loved the character that the feather gave the design, so I created a very boho style outfit to go with it. I paired it off with just a pair of leggings from League, along with their boots. I added bangles by Maxi Gossamer, and a purse and jewelry by LaGyo. I also decided to wear another new hair release from Wasabi Pills, which is now available at fameshed.

Hiding My Heart Away

Sometimes it's easier to hide. From the things around you, from your feelings, from others. I guess the basic reason for it is the fact that.. we're afraid. Deep down we're all afraid. Afraid of rejection, afraid of being judged, afraid of looking like a fool. Fear is a powerful emotion, and many of us, instead of facing it head on.. we hide.

Now, you all know that I'm very much for classy looks, nothing over styled, and feminine and elegant at the same time. So that's what I'm doing with this post! I'm bringing you girly cute, with a very simple elegance to it. You don't always have to look like you have a stick up your ass to look elegant, sometimes you can style something in a very effortless manner to get the same effect.

Le fil casse is bringing new dresses to collabor88. In all honesty, I struggled with it, it's a very difficult print to work with, and I didn't want to do the obvious and just style it with a necklace, some pumps, and voila.. I wanted it to look. original, after all.. tube dresses are like.. everywhere! I paired it off with a cute jacket from Bilo that kind of brought forth the color, and also brought the look together. I also added some tights to keep it.. you know, classy and reserved, and then the shoes actually have a soft floral pattern to it, so I chose those to play some more with the floral theme of the outfit. I wanted also some long necklaces, and the Maxi Gossamer set for Collabor88 fit he bill perfectly, it's both girly and classic, so it fits the whole outfit quite perfectly. Finally, new hair from wasabi pills! I'm extremely picky about hair.. it's not even funny. Even my favorite stores.. sometimes I see their hairstyles, and it's a complete turn off. However, I totally loved the little side flip with this hair, and yup.. I thin that about is it for today!

Let Me Come Home

So much newness, so little time. For starters.. Did you know Lelutka has new hair?

Well, if you didn't, you know now. The new styles have kind of a vintage style to them. Sort of 1920's kind of hair style, and one with a cute little cap on top that reminds me of the Renaissance period, something you'd see in like the Borgias. Totally adorable. The one I'm wearing today is Gloria. For some reason, I wear it, and I keep thinking about like.. Downton Abbey. But then again, I'm totally obsessed with that show right now. I'm seriously loving how vintage is starting to get in style now. Love love love.

Yummy is also one of my favorite places to go for jewelry, I love their styles! They're not over the top, and they're rather adorable and original. Their Collabor88 item does not fail. It's totally adorable, and they have it in both, black and white, and multi colored. Personally, I'm more of a classic/safe fashionista, so.. I stuck with the black and white, and I totally love this piece.

Leri Miles Designs also has a new release out, it's a cute little dress that is trending lately, kind of goes with the whole bold yet simplistic trend that is going on right now. More of a geometric style, and I'm totally loving this dress.

I've Been Away for Too Long

That's kind of how I feel right now. I've been away from too long. From blogging, from life itself. Kind of sheltered in my little cocoon, afraid of hurting. Afraid of grieving. But I've been away from too long, so.. it's time for another post, and hopefully maybe soon I'll be able to take the step forth and face my problems.

But let's tackle a problem at a time! First.. what am I wearing today?

Adam and Eve has a new skin, that's completely adorable, and I'm head over heels with. I am a fan of Sachi's, I'm not afraid to say that. The main reason for this is that she does have original skins, and each one of her releases does look different, it's not a carbon copy. You can tell it's the same maker, they have the same element to them, but.. they're still original  each and every one of them, which makes it a joy to go back to her store to get new things. You don't feel like you're paying for a skin that you already have slapped with a new name, and a minor change. Then again, I've always been one to praise originality. Also, her skins have dimples. Now.. in this skin, the facial features are so sharp that actually adding dimples aged the skin too much, which is a good thing if you're looking to play a character in her mid thirties.. but.. even without the dimples, it looks like a more mature skin. And by that I don't mean 60 years old. It looks gorgeous, classy, and mature.

=Krautuve=  also has a new release, and it feels forever since they've had one. It's a release of kind of dark sweaters, but I did love this cross one. Crosses seem to be very much in as of lately, lucky for me, I do like this trend. I am very religious, and I'm sorry to say this, but.. the fact that a cross is trending to me is rather cool, means I get to show something I believe, and it has a good style to it. High fashion, and something I'm passionate about. Need I say more? Total love.

Finally, Collabor88 opened, and it's got me in for a shock. Truth was there! I mean.. I'm not blogging their look, but.. I was just shocked that truth had an item there this round. However, I'm totally in love with this new hair mesh style by Clawtooth. Also, the poses from Marukin are totally aodrable! Don't forget to go to collabor88 this round and get amazed!

My Music Is Where I Want You to Touch

First of all, I do have to apologize for the lack of blog entries lately. It's still being one of those things where it's raining like hell, and my glass is overflowing. For as much as I love to blog and share my opinions in SL fashion, my mind is not fully committed at the moment. With the loss of a family member, and two major illnesses in my family, I'm struggling to be able to cope with it all. My time in SL is more devoted to attempting to forget my problems, than focusing on something like this. It's not that I'm going to stop blogging. No, I love it. It's just.. my lapses of when I'm able to concentrate enough to get the words out as I mean them are few. Please forgive me.

With that said. I do wish I had music for a boyfriend. Then things maybe wouldn't be as complicated. Or living in a fairy tale world. Make believe with happy endings. I hope I'm not the only one that feels that way.

I'm going to start talking about the actual fashion with this jacket from even.flow. It's a nice design, however, I wish it would have some contrast to it. The pattern is lovely, yes. But with so much black, the details all get lost. I wouldn't change the color of the jacket, but the belt in a different color would have made me completely fall in love with this piece. However, at the bargain price in Acid Lily, it's quite worth the look at, in my opinion. As far as the pants go, it's a new release from Blueberry. I love Blueberry. I really do. Every week that goes by, and every release, I see so much growth and improvement that I do count her in as one of the top designers to watch out for. What I do love about Blueberry is that the designs are original. With so many stores using templates, I do appreciate those that take the extra time in creating their own visions. One thing that i would like to see in the future, and I know.. I know, it's tough, but I'm a huge fan of actually draping with the textures on the map. What I mean is.. you'll see it a lot of times, from afar, it looks freaking amazing, but then when you focus in, you'll see that.. instead of the map of the clothes moving with the texture, the actual map is flat, and they use the texturing to create a feel of dimension, which ends up making the piece look a little 2D. These pants actually have some relief work into them, like buttons off to the side which was a nice touch, but what I'd really love to see is the pants moving along with the texture to create a full 3D feel to it, more realistic.

I guess that's all for today folks!

London Calling

Everytime I enter Mayfair, I have that song stuck in my head.. I love London, and the amazing feel of Mayfair.. lawl, takes me right back to that wonderful place, so today, I suppose London has been calling me.

And so has fameshed. Fameshed started just yesterday, and it has some amazing stuff this round! Tee*fy mesh leggings, and dresses, and tops, and hair! This new wasabi pills release is just to die for! And the Maxi Gossamer necklaces!? Jesus, I've been drooling fameshed since yesterday.

This sweater is one of the items for fameshed too! It's by Lenox and it's rather adorable! I paired it off with the Tee*fy leggings for Fameshed, and the new release by Dollle. The skirt has a very cute and effortless feel to it, and unlike some meshes, it doesn't seem heavy set, you know.. overly thick and cartoonish? I hate that on mesh items, so I have to say this new release was a total win for me! You can barely see it, but I've also added some accessories by Maxi Gossamer that is available this round of fameshed as well.

The ring is also a new release of Cute Poison, available at a discounted price in TheOutlet.
