Lost in the Blue

I have been in the midst of traveling between home and out of town because RL has needed a lot of my attention and will continue to for the foreseen future but when I get a moment to escape into SL and throw an outfit together I will try to blog it for you. Today I bring you the blues, well a shade of blue, tranquil, maybe a little sad, but calm and sedate. The dress is from Glam Affair and is available at Uber's rustic round. The sandals from Fri.day worked out very well although I did edit them a tad darker to compliment the dress more, love the fact these work with my Maitreya feet. I added the cuff from MUKA and it's edited as well from the blue setting on the hud to more closely match the dress. I really like this newer hair from Vanity, it's a pretty updo with a couple of loose whisps to make it not be too stiff and severe. I am sorry I am not more descriptive but I am pressed for time and this lovely dress almost speaks for itself.

With a Cherry on Top

I mentioned in my previous post I had stopped into Collarbor88 and would be showing you a few things I purchased there and true to my word I am doing just that. I really like this round at 88 because it's bright, cheerful and summery. I have been feeling a little blue and the bright colors are a good pick me up. I was drawn to the pinkish watermelon color this round and I really like the top and skirt from fashionably dead. The top is fun and has a little sex appeal with its tied front and flash of cleavage. The skirt reminds me of a tropical watercolor painting and is a great length, not too short and not too long, perfect for summer sandals or flats. I used the very cute Decoy wedges I also bought at 88 as well as the Exile hair I purchased there for this post. Tres blah Sunglasses match perfectly and a sweet ice cream cone by Imeka available at...you guessed it, Collabor88. The ice cream cone comes in 5 "flavors" and all have a cherry on top :-)

Beige Isn't Boring

Color Me Project is in its newest round, this time the color is beige and a lot of you may think that could be a bit boring but the designers have pulled it off really well. There is nothing boring about beigehere, it can be classy and even edgy when done in the correct manner. I chose to go with a classy beige look that is still sexy and relatable. The dress from Sofie's Selection is very pretty with a cinched waist from the simple belt and a sexy slit on the side that unfortunately you can't see here but trust me gives a nice little flash of leg, I really like this dress a great deal. The shoes are also from CMP and are by Klepsydra. They are made for SLINK feet and have a nice little metal spike detail that is color changeable. The Icons of Style shopping bag poses that includes the shopping bags you will find at CMP and are fun to shoot! My hair, necklace, earrings and ring are all from this round of Collabor88 and also worth your time to visit. I will blog an outfit from there soon!

Looking for the Light

I popped into Kustom9 today, despite not having a lot of time in SL with school wrapping up I wanted to take the time to blog this outfit. If you follow my blog at all you probably already know I am not big into over done outfits and am pretty minimalistic when it comes to what I wear. Don't get me wrong I want to look nice and pulled together I just tend to keep it clean and simple. I also tend to do A LOT of black so when spring finally arrives I have to fight the urge to stay in the black and look for the light. This DROP outfit is lovely, well made a an adorable bow on the back of the pants without looking too cutesy. I kept it all in ivory and paired some stunning shoes from Glamistry with the pants and top. These shoes are not done near the justice they deserve in this photo, they come with a hud that lets you customize the metals. the shoes are leather with snakeskin accents that can be color changed as well depending on how many colors you purchase. I am just gonna tell you right now, get the fat pack, you will be glad you did. I kept them all beige here but I had a hard time not accenting with the black on the snakeskin. These are some awesome shoes. The necklace and bracelet are from Mandala and the hair is new from Lamb at Collabor88.

Messy Hair, Don't Care

Look more purple! I had to do this super casual look just because it's just sooo comfy. When I am at home I am definitely a sweats kind of girl and when I saw this Eyelure top at Color Me Project I had to get it, it reads "Proud Supporter of  Messy Hair and Sweatpants". Well yeah, I am all on board with that support! The sweats are from IrEn and are low cut and sexy, the shoes are Flite lowtop Duck sneakers and the hair I grabbed at Collabor88 from Tableau Vivant. Laid back, chill and oh so comfy!

Waiting for Inspiration

Blogging is a lot of fun, I love putting outfits together, trying styles, especially when it's something I want to try in RL but don't want to spend the money on until I know I would really like it, Many times my SL outfits get recreated in RL and vice versa. I am an artist in RL so my SL home has a studio in it as well because if makes me feel at home and brings a little piece of me into SL. Sitting in it waiting for inspiration or for someone to come home is comforting, relaxing. It's my safe place. We all need a safe place where we can just let everything go and just be, just sit and let the stresses fade and the inspirations come. To do this is comfort is key, This outfit is so comfortable just easy and relaxed. Cardigan, tee, denim shorts, a scarf because it's still a little nippy, broken in boots, ponytail in case the inspiration hits and I get to work, So my advice to anyone is RL or SL make sure you have a place that is your safety zone, where you always feel at ease and can regroup, become inspired or just plain relax.

London Calling and (A Sneaky Peek)

Today I was kinda lazy, Spent way to many Lindens at Collabor88 and The Arcade and stayed up all night last night decorating a new house knowing full well I was going to lose an hours sleep to Daylight Savings Time. So while what I feel like blogging is sweats and barefeet I did manage to pull myself together and style a simple and elegant outfit with some of the items I found at Collabor88 and the highlight of the day that I can mention here, NEW SKIN PREVIEW! Tuli dropped her newest creation on me, Neve which will be released at the Skin Fair 2015. It's a lovely skin, I kinda liked looking at myself naked in it! Neve comes in 7 tones, each with cleavage options,  Slink and Maitreya Appliers, four eyebrow colors, five eye make-up tattoos, ten lipstick tattoos, bonus teeth tattoos and bonus Neve shape! Tuli is really  spoiling us!

My outift comes partially from Collabor88. The Tres Blah red pencil skirt, the Milk Motion trench, as well as the Hucci shoes and Tableau Vivant hair. This outfit is so all about looking for an apartment in London, I wanted to add a little edge to it so I added the studded ring from Swallow and studded belt with Mandala's Chunkeeey necklace. I shot in in Apple Fall's London Apartment Skybox. So there you have it, quick, simple, elegant girl about town.
