Stellar

So... today I'm not going to talk about music.. I'm going to get right to it. No moods, no lessons. This is a little shocking. But! I'm in love with this look! So.. let's dig in, shall we?

First of all, I'm a lover of vests. I am, I collect them like crazy, and this is one of the newer designs by {Dollle*}. They have it in different colors  but I liked the black one, mainly for the reason that black is such a versatile color and goes with almost anything, and while shopping, I do look for practicality over eye popping. Not always, I'll admit, sometimes I move away from the usual fashion choices I make... but.. most of the time you'll see me going more towards blacks and whites.

In more newness, another skin from JeSyLiLo has been released. To be honest, still not a big fan. I adore the eyes, don't get me wrong, and the face has a certain softness that is just so easy to work with.. yet.. those eyebrows totally ruined the skin for me. But, I don't like thick eyebrows. If you like thick eyebrows, this new release might be worth a double take.

Paired the whole look off with a small inside shirt by Fri.day, and added some Wunderland jeans, in black, and finished it off with some G*Field boots, bringing back the fur theme. And voila!

The Lion's Roar

I'm a Goddamned coward, but then again so are you, and the lions roar. Powerful. I don't know why this song hits so.. but it honestly does. It's powerful, and longing... One of the best new songs out there.

But.. I digress. It's time for TDR Fusion, and guess who's a guess? JeSyLiLo! And they have a new skin out for the event, Vanla. It's no secret that I like light skins. My complexion in real life is pale.. so it's hard for me to see myself tanned in second life. No joke, I'm like.. white as milk. I'm so freaking white, I glow in the dark. Comes in handy though, my husband will never lose me. But.. I guess that's the reason why I like pale skins so much. The skin is very soft, and I absolutely love the face on it. Now.. not a huge fan of the lipgloss that was added to it, but.. that's easily fixed with a tattoo layer, so you won't hear me making a huge fuss about that. The body could also be a bit more detailed in my opinion, but for the cheap price that it can be found in.. totally worth it. They also have a new set of eyes in their main store that I'm absolutely crazy about. The detail on it is right on the dot, and it seriously does add a powerful pop to your avatar, so go check them out, for sure a must have in my opinion, and I really don't say that too often, it has to be something I truly do like in order for me to say it. But these eyes are just adorable.

In other news. Lamb. New hair. <3. I have been missing on Lamb Ballic's releases, I honestly do look forward to them like a kid at a candy store, however, it was worth the wait. It comes in two styles that you can chose from (each sold separately, of course) But it's adorable, and with a little hair clip on the side. I'm totally in love with it.

Another new release? Yup, it's a day of newness. After a while of not making new releases, Cute Poison comes full roar with this cross posture collar, which is completely adorable, and you can make some pretty incredible outfits with it. I know I didn't do it in this picture, but.. can you imagine it with a black turtle neck? Take off the prim part of the turtle neck, insert the collar, and voila, a pretty strong piece to add to your look, and easy to do.

And Even.Flow has come out with a new release too, a bikini line that is affordable, and mix and match. The top I'm wearing is the chess piece from that set, so go ahead and check it out. Bikini season is almost here for some of us.. down in the south, where it is not snowing, at least, and once spring hits.. those bikinis come out hard core, even in the virtual world.

And the lion's roar is something that I have heard before, a children's tale, the lonesome wail of a lion's roar.

Black Hole Sun, Won't You Come?

My inspiration for the day? Washing away the bad, and coming in with the new. I guess that's it a lot of times though.. like.. trying to force myself to keep a positive outlook on things. But I mean.. we live in a world where it's so easy to lose sight of what we have, and the good in our lives, and force ourselves into a kind of exile with depression. Focusing on the bad only forces you deeper into that exile, and having been in a deep depression in the past, I guess I'm forcing myself out by keeping myself motivated. Out with the bad, in with the good.

Melancholic shot, for a melancholic title and theme. Works. Now that I'm done being all preachy or what not, let's get to the good stuff. We have  a couple new things in here. First of all, Acid Lily opened, so look out for goodies throughout the week from them. Cake has entered this weeks' line up with an old classic, this old vest shirt. While it's adorable, I do have to say.. I'm kind of getting sad with all the designers using templates. I mean.. Yes, the design is good, and yes, the texturing by the designer is superb, but.. here's the thing, I've seen this top just.. how many times now? And though I love it, I'm ready to see the next big thing. I guess now that a lot of designers have started selling their templates, a lot of creativity has gone out the window with a lot of designers and the easy way gets taken, and as a result, you have about a million and one of the same shirt.. done by a million and one designers. I'd like to see the creativity and originality come back! What draws clients like myself to a certain store is the fact that there's something about them that stands out for them, a classic signature style to their creations that makes me a loyal costumer. Templates.. eh, I can go to any store in second life and get it. It becomes not about loyalty, but who sales it for less? That's my problem with templates.

With that aside, Blueberry also has a new release this week, the cut out jeans. Not really my style, but personally, love them, it's very creative and ingenious how it was done in the alpha layer to make sure that your skin shows through in the cut out sides, and still looks good. It's an amazing work, and I love it! And finally, a newish release by JeSyLiLo with these UGG Boots. Kept jewerly very simple since the vest and the jeans are such  big statement pieces in the outfit, and voila! A cute look that looks effortless, and stands out.

Fell Down a Hole

One of my favorite Disney movies, even as a child, and even more so once redone by Tim Burton, is Alice in Wonderland. The whimsical feel to it, the craziness and just pure randomness.. I love it all. So for today, I really wanted to do my take on Alice. I wanted to take her out of  the normal blue dress, white apron, and the hair band, and put her in what we might see her with today before taking her back to Wonderland.

The look was mainly inspired by two things, the new release by Truth last night, and the new release by JeSyLiLo today. The hair is lovely as ever, I seriously am a huge Truth Hawks fan now, love the effortless feel of the curls, and the color hues are always awesome and right on. And it has a hat. I love hats. And I love when I don't have to make them into a ridiculously huge size to fit my head that makes me feel like a clown, and fume as I take it off with a pouty face and a "But I really wanted to wear it!!! D:" So.. this is a must have in my inventory for me. As far as the sweater is concerned, it has a lovely hue to it, however, it felt a little flat to me. Cute.. but flat.

I paired it all off with a new release by Wunderland! I wanted it to have a very whimsical feel to the whole outfit to really tie it together, and even though Alice is more of a white and blue, I really thought that these jeans really modernized the look, and made it fun and whimsical, and reminiscent of the movie. Besides, the jeans are truly cute, and even though I consider myself more conservative with my style and fashions, I really did like the pop of the jeans and the little fun theme in the cuffs. Total love with these. And I finished it off with some white... because it needed it, so I used one of my favorite Hucci pumps to tie it all together. And voila, this would be my take on a modern day Alice in Wonderland. Hope you like!
