A guide catering to the shopaholics of second life. You know, those of us that when we see linden up in our display.. we just have to buy it all. We are all caught up in this love affair.
I love this song. Hate the movie, and I know there will be haters, but I totally love this song. And I hate Taylor Swift too, but I love Civil Wars. The band that is. Any who! Newness! Adam and Even has a new skin out, Patrice, and I totally love the make up work on it, and the softness and details on the skin, like random beauty marks, all of it. I am a huge fan of Sachi's work, and it's not only because her name is close to my rl name. Also, Sassy has a new freebie at the store! This beautiful top is all yours for a limited time. hurry up and get it while you can!
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.
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.
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!
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!
So today is my wedding anniversary, and when this song started playing on my rdio account, it inspired me, and moved me, because.. that's what love is all about? Despite the hardships of life, and the difficulties, forgive, move on, and follow your partner to the ends of the earth. My husband and I have been married for two years, and though recently he did break my heart, and doubts still flood my mind, I have no hesitation when I say that to the ends of the world I would follow him. No one knows me like he does. He has made me grow, and inspires me to try to fix myself day at a time. It's because of him that I have been able to deal with the pain that losing my daughter caused, and it's because of him that I still live. So today, I ask you, my dear readers. Whom would you follow to the end of the earth?
Love is in the air, and I do love me some of the things that Acid Lily brings forth. I have to admit, as time passes, the quality of the designers is beginning to up. That's one of the things that I enjoy about events such as this, new designers come, and you get to see some new talent, and discover it before it reaches the big leagues and the big names of Second Life. One of the newest additions, which I have to say I have nothing but love thus far, and will be keeping an eye out for the future, is Cake. I love cake, so.. with the name alone it got me. This top is so basic, but adorable at the same time, and they also have this cute dress that I hope I do get time to blog, and honestly.. though it's simple, and looks like it's not much, I'm simply in love with their style.
I paired it off with a jacket by Wunderland, and their jeans, I do believe that a huge thing about making a simple piece speak, and add character to it, is layering! So this jacket added just what it needed, and to give it a simple out and about look I added one of their new releases, some simple gray jeans to it. And I am also wearing it with flat boots. I honestly just wanted a causal and lovely feel to it to add to the simplicity and beauty to today's love theme.
The hair is from D!va, and the accessories are from Yummy, and both can be found at Collabor88's new cycle. Can you tell I do love me some Collabor88? Pose is also brand new from Marukin, and can also be found in this round of Collabor88.
I'm lately totally obsessed with 30 Seconds to Mars, and I was watching the music video for The Kill, and I totally got inspired for this shoot! Mad Pea is doing a new hunt in this creepy hotel, and I just had to do something involving this song, so.. yes! I hope you enjoy the dark creepy theme for the pictures!
I do have to admit though.. there's nothing creepy about what I'm wearing in this picture! First of all, new release for Wunderland! And I'm crazy about this jeans! They have camo, studs, and regular jeans.. I stuck with the regular jeans for this just because they looked marvelous. AND they fit with some boots, ladies! So huge plus on that one. Though designers.. I'm still going to beg. Make more jeans to fit inside of boots! That would so be a dream come true. New Year's Resolution for all of you out there, maybe? :P.
Color Me H.O.F is also having a sale for the holidays. So I grabbed this shirt to go along with the look today! Make sure to run over and get to the sale while you can!!
And finally, cute hair.. cute hair.. oh how I love hair! Today I'm wearing Exile! And their new line of hairs with hats! I am a huge fan of hats and hair accessories, but I'm so picking about prims fitting right, I never get them! That's why when I see hair with it already on.. I'm in heaven! And this style is so carefree, I just had to have it.
I'm still listening to Jazz Christmas songs guys! And Louis is stuck in my mind! I swear, since I heard "Zat you, Santa?" This morning, all I've thought about was doing a shoot for the blog near the fire place.. and I have done just that! Ha!
So... Christmas is creeping closer and closer guys! And that can only mean one thing! It's time for more subtle Christmas fashions! Today we have a cute little vest by Wunderland, which is an amazing store that opened just a couple months ago, I found this little gem in Frost, comes to show you.. sometimes going to these fairs and doing hunts can open your eyes to new amazing SL designers that will grow up to hopefully be one of the big names in the future! This vest I've seen done a lot of different ways, it's just one of the latest trends in fashion, but the pattern on this one just captivated me, along with the color, just too adorable.
Then we have the top by Whippet and Bucket, everything in the store is 50L still! Again, I have no clue if they're closing, or if they're having a sale, but run and fill your inventory with their goodies while you can! 50L for their designs is a true bargain. I also wore the 1929 Mon Tissu Jeans to finish off the actual clothing section of it all. Designers out there, hear our plea! We want mesh pants that you can use with boots! Please and thank you! :p
Finally, the boots will be available tomorrow at Acid Lily, they're by Moyaz, and I totally love them, they have a very casual chic look that is very in right now, and they're at a bargain price for a week starting tomorrow, so don't forget to stop by and get yours while you can!
