A Brisk Fall Day

I have always loved watching the leaves change colors each fall... Even if it means the trees will soon be bare for a good five months.  I have never been fond of the extremely hot temperatures that summer brings or the extremely cold temperatures that winter brings; spring and fall hold the wonderful in-between temperatures that I long for most of the year.

I have always preferred fall and winter fashion over spring or summer.  I love coats and sweaters and layers upon layers of warmth!  I'm very excited to see what designers put out this season; the quality of mesh has improved so much over the past year, and I am sure those newly found skills will shine through in their new releases.  I think I have a bit of an obsession with coats in my real life and my second life, but before mesh, I didn't purchase a lot of outerwear in world because the prims and sculpts simply did not look realistic.  Posing for photos with those primitive designs was a nightmare; mesh has most definitely made photography a lot easier.

The coat I'm wearing for this photo is NYU's contribution to the October collection of FaMESHed.  I love the high collar and the large buttons and buckle.  The texture is also amazing and adds a lot of depth and character to the piece.  The coat is available in nine wool colors, three leather colors and includes five sizes and an alpha layer.  As beautiful as the coat is, I do have to say that I would have loved it a little more if the backside had been a bit curvier; a flat behind is something I have never been accused of having... and I like it!

I know that I am a little late on the Maitreya mesh boots train, but when I saw the jacket, these boots were the only thing that I thought of to put with it!  Shoes are something I have never allowed myself to indulge in since good quality comes at a rather high price in world... and in real life to be honest.  I think I may allow myself to splurge a little more often than I have in the past to build up a nice variety for my inventory.  I have so many clothes... I'm sure I could spend a little less there to get a little more elsewhere.  The boots are available in twenty-five colors; if you would like to grab more than one color, it is more affordable to purchase a pack of three (1250L) than it is to purchase colors separately (750L each).  Of course the downfall to that strategy is that you cannot choose the three colors in a three pair pack.  Maitreya has also set out a pair of these boots in a tan color for only 225L for VIP members; the group is surprisingly absolutely free to join.

The perfect mesh accessory for this outfit came with LaGyo's addition to the latest release at The Dressing Room.  Titiana is a color change piece with three main colors and three metal colors.  I absolutely love texture change jewelry since it allows you to have so much variety for your money.

Liquid Light

I'm not sure that I have ever done a post exclusively for eyes, but, as my mother always likes to say, there is a first time for everything!  Mayfly's new colors for their Liquid Light Mesh Eyes collection are stunning to say the least.  The eyes are resizable by script with two options for pupil size.  The eyes also contain options for full bright/glow or off bright/glow.  Your purchase includes four versions according to the level of white.  System layer eyes are also available and are located in the main vendor with the picture of the product; if you wish to purchase the mesh eyes, please use the small vendor located under the main one.

Darla

I love mix and match clothing; if all you ever have is pre-made, already put together outfits, life can get a bit boring.  Eclectic Apparel recently released a Mix 'n Match line with pieces that could truly go with just about anything.  The Darla Blazer and Pants do have a dress feel to them, but you could easily pair the blazer with a stunning pair of jeans and get a more casual look.  The Bronte Top is the perfect undershirt; it's both delicate and feminine.  The top also is able to hold its own as a stand alone piece if you want to lose the blazer.  The Darla Blazer and Pants are available in fifteen colors each, and the Bronte Top is available in sixteen colors.  Five sizes and an alpha layer are included with each purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview the items.

Eclectic Apparel's contribution for CHIC2 is a little more casual and a lot more sexy!  The Cheer outfit is a design that, like the name suggests, is designed after athletic outfits.  The outfit is available in nine versions of white and nine versions of black.  As with all other Eclectic Apparel mesh, five sizes and an alpha layer is included in the purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview the outfit.

Retro

I love fashion with flair, and PurpleMoon's contribution for CHIC Management's 2nd birthday bash has just that!  The Chica Top and Trousers have a very 70s vibe to them.  The texturing on the trousers gives them an almost touchable quality; they have a very soft feel that makes me wonder exactly what kind of material Poulet was aiming for.  If it was velvet, I'm glad my ava is wearing it and not the real life me... especially in this weather!  Both the top and pants are mesh items; five sizes are included for both as well as multiple alpha layers.  The top is available in six colors and the trousers are available in eight colors.  A free demo is available for you to preview.  The event closes June 24th.

coldLogic Rompers

Designs like dresses and rompers are something I have never found easy to wear in my real life.  My real body is shaped like a pear which makes wearing one piece outfits extremely difficult.  To get an outfit the fits in the hinny, it always doesn't fit in the bust.  Such is life!  Thankfully, my Second Life body doesn't have such limitations and allows me to thoroughly enjoy these new rompers by coldLogic.

Mathis is the most dressy of the three romper designs.  This is definitely a look that would be appropriate to wear to an important business meeting or out on a date with that special someone.  Four total colors are available for the Mathis design.  Rae is a romper design identical to Mathis; however, it is offered in four bi-colors instead of four solid colors.  This setup is similar to how JANE renames same designs that use different textures, and using that system at coldLogic makes complete sense since Janie Marlow is one of the three very talented designers of coldLogic.  Five sizes and an alpha layer are included with each purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview.

I'm not typically into the sporty look, but I have to admit that Room is a very sexy sporty look that I really love.  The 'shorts' portion of the romper are extremely cute; they remind me of running shorts and even have that crinkled up look to match.  Room is available in four solid colors, and like Mathis, Room has a 'sister product' titled Briggs that is available in four striped colors.  Five sizes and an alpha layer are included with each purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview.

Reese is the final romper style available and is the most dressy casual of the three.  This design is perfect for shopping with your girls or a night out at the movies with your friends.  The top portion of Reese features a floral design, and four total colors of the romper are available.  Ella is a similar design to Reese with the exception that Ella has a more solid texture with a highlight color around the top and bottom of the romper; four colors are also available for Ella.  Five sizes and an alpha layer are included with each purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview.

52WoCC - Pueblo

I'm still so far behind on my 52 Weeks of Color posts, but I promise that I will get caught up!  Week Nineteen's color 'pueblo' was really difficult for me.  It is a color that reminds me of rust, but a very orange rust.  I honestly don't think that I captured true pueblo in my picture, but I really love the dress... That counts for something.  Right?

The dress I chose is a newish design from JANE titled Jenelle.  The dress is available in three color combinations as well as a different texture in three different colors under another name, Sparrow.  As with all JANE mesh designs, a free demo is available for you to try before your purchase, and each item contains five sizes and an alpha layer.

Defiant

There's just something about pretty mesh that always makes me want to squee.  Eclectic Apparel is one of the newest and upcoming stores when it comes to mesh clothing; the designs are absolutely beautiful and the textures are so soft and inviting.  The Defiant Mini Skirt is one of the most recent releases from the store, and I honestly cannot get enough of the design.  It is short, but it definitely isn't too short for the dressy-casual look that I love so much.  The texture looks so soft and smooth; I would really love to be able to actually reach out and touch it.  The skirt is available in twelve colors, and a free demo is available for you to try.

I paired one of the Femme Lace Camis from JANE with the skirt, but I really needed something to pull the entire outfit together... That's when I spotted the Carolina Blazer, also from Eclectic Apparel.  The short design makes it perfect for wearing with skirts, pants, capris or shorts!  The blazer also comes in twelve colors, and a free demo is available for you to try.

Ripped Stripes

 

I cannot believe it's been four weeks since I've been able to make a post. Even worse, the day that I made my last post I also took three pictures of three new outfits with the expectation that it would make it easier to post during the week. I guess I was a little off on that assumption. As many of you know, I am a teacher in real life, and April/May seems to be the absolute busiest time of the year. I have had a baby shower, field trips, prom, state testing and two graduations to attend in the past month. Needless to say, I'm so ready for summer! 

The above photo was one of those that was shot a month ago; at least we continue to get warmer so it is even more 'in season' than it was then! I have always loved stripes; so, the Striped Summer Top immediately caught my eye when it was released by Izzie's. Ten color choices are available, and your purchase comes with the 'tucked in' look as well as with a prim for a more flared out version.

Admittedly, short shorts are not typically my attire of choice, but I absolutely love the ripped look and the denim texture of these Ripped Denim Shorts by Izzie's. As with the top, the shorts are also available in ten colors. The belt I paired with the shorts is also from Izzie's and is a mesh item! The idea of mesh belts really tickles me pink since I find it so difficult to make prim/sculpt belts stay in the correct place. Five colors are included with your purchase.

Week 17 of 52 Weeks of Color: Shuttle Gray

Finally caught up!  I'm determined with this round of the color challenge to not let myself get too far behind because I know me... I'll never finish if I do.  Two posts in one day isn't so bad though.  Hopefully summer will get here soon so I will have more time to blog!

I really love the outfit I threw together for shuttle gray, and you will probably be happy to know that it is super cheap!  One of our bloggers at Seraphim wasn't able to cover her usual Super Bargain Saturday post today; so, I covered it for her.  One of the stores in the event, who unfortunately didn't have an item out, was a treasure trove of cuteness.  There aren't actually many designs out by Ohmarie Couture yet, but the few that are only 20L each!  I don't believe there was a reduction in price for a sale because there were no signs.  Adorable mesh for such a low price is a complete win.  The top is available in five colors and includes five sizes.  I made sure to slap the subscribo because I definitely want to keep an eye on this designer.

My so very cute capris are one of the new items out by Kyoot for Collabor88.  I look forward to the new rounds each month and snag up all of the items I know will definitely be staples of my inventory.  Five colors of the Etienne Capris are available through the beginning of May.

Week 16 of 52 Weeks of Color: Bright Turquoise

I wonder at times if life could possibly get any busier. I'm sure that it could, but sometimes that is difficult to imagine.

The outfit I'm wearing for my color challenge post was found by chance. I was asked to make a post about a moving sale on Seraphim for a store I had never heard of. I always like to check places out before I post about them; so, I teleported on over and ran right into the perfect outfit for bright turquoise. The Tally outfit by Leri Miles Designs is sold separately and comes in six different colors. The top is composed to system layers and prim pieces that contain convenient resize scripts. I absolutely love the color combination of blue and orange, but that could be a bit of bias on my part since those were close to my high school colors. The sale lasts through the end of the month.

The necklace I'm wearing is a recent item from Izzie's. I've always thought owls were so beautiful and even a bit mystic. They are very intelligent birds, and their eyes give them such depth and intrigue. The necklace is included in two metal options, and the eyes and 'feather' jewels are color change.

Week 7 of 52 Weeks of Color - Folly

It has been such a busy, hectic week that I really haven't had time to shop for my Folly post. I was honestly getting ready to 'cheat' and tint a modifiable shirt and put a mesh jacket from JANE over it when I saw this cute little dress at the JANE shop. I know that it isn't quite the correct shade of pink, but to be honest, I'm not sure that any of my photos have been correct! I think that is a common problem with this challenge, however.

I finally grabbed my first mesh hair with the latest new release from Elikatira. I always love her hairstyles anyway but being mesh just makes it all the better! It was so much easier to pose with a hair that moves with me opposed to one that I have to modify to fit the pose. I will most definitely be looking to add more mesh hair to my already bursting inventory.

Week 6 of 52 Weeks of Color - Alice Blue

I really love how soft the color is for this week's edition of Luna's Color Challenge. It is definitely a color I can see myself wearing more often; so, I was not sad at all to add it to my inventory. I was really glad to find an outfit at a new store that I was really looking forward to shopping at. coldLogic is a collaborative effort between Janie Marlowe, Zyrra Falcone and Damien Fate which focuses on my latest obsession... mesh! I know you are probably getting tired of me talking about how fabulous mesh clothing is, but I really love the movement of the pieces and cannot see myself purchasing a lot of non-mesh clothing in the future excluding undershirts and the such of course.

Week 4 of 52 Weeks of Color - Iron

I'm so proud of myself for keeping up with Luna's Color Challenge for four weeks in a row! I tend to be a terrible procrastinator which is perhaps why I didn't finish the last one. I know it is only week four, but I'm trying really hard to not get behind.

The adorable outfit I am wearing is The Sea Hole's contribution to the January collection of Collabor88. Both the Herron Skirt and the Minna blouse come in six colors at 88L each. There is also a cute parasol that has been designed to go with the outfit which is also available in six colors at 88L each. Now, I know this outfit isn't the mesh that I have been loving for the past month or so, but it is still a really pretty and classy outfit. Hopefully, Drinkinstein will start releasing some mesh items soon!

I couldn't have asked for a more perfectly matched accessory than the recent release from Izzie's. The necklace is part of a set that also includes rings and earrings titled Turquoise Jewelry Set. The set also comes in four additional colors including onyx, pruple stone, red stone and white stone. Two versions of each are included with your purchase: a set with resizers and one without.

Spring Frill

The new mesh dress by Siss Boom is making me long for spring! I love the frilled accent at the top of the dress; it gives it a very fun, girly feeling. If this dress were system layers and sculpts, the accent piece would definitely be difficult to work with when wearing an AO; just one of the reasons that I am completely in love with mesh.

The pose I'm using for this photo was one of the very first poses with props that I purchased in Second Life. Olive Juice has always been a fun store for me to visit because of its unique, interesting products. Unfortunately, the designer no longer has time in her real life to continue her brand in Second Life and is closing shop. Until February 19th, all poses and props have been marked down 50%.

Week 1 of 52 Weeks of Color - Champagne

I tend to not make resolutions for the new year anymore because I never keep them. I do have a goal for this year, however... even though I'm about a week late getting this up here! My goal for this year is to participate in every week of the second round of Luna Juiblee's 52 Weeks of Color. Hopefully real life won't kick my butt as badly as it has this week for the rest of the year!

Two of the pieces I am wearing are from the current collection at The Dressing Room. The bodysuit and pumps by R.icielli aren't technically champagne (they are beige and creme), but the color was so close to Luna's champagne swatch that I couldn't pass these items up for my photo. You get both pieces plus seven more for a mere L$70! What a great deal!

The skirt I'm wearing is another piece of evidence to support the fact that I am totally addicted to mesh. I have found myself in the past couple of weeks passing up coats, dresses, skirts, etc that aren't mesh. I don't think I have totally given up on prim pieces; I just prefer to not have to deal with them when I don't have to! The Oxford Pencil Skirt by {mon tissu} is so pretty and classy; I think I eventually want to own the entire pack.

Mesh♥Love

When I saw the first video on YouTube of mesh clothing a few months ago, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical. The clothing in the video wasn't very well made; the design and the textures were boring to say the least. I shouldn't have put limitations in my mind on the creativeness of Second Life designers! After trying a mesh outfit, I'm not sure that I ever want to wear clothing with 'old prim' pieces again.

I denied a Christmas gift from JANE on accident and headed over to her shop to see if I could pick it up in the subscriber's history. I hadn't been to the shop since before I left Second Life to get married in real life, and I was quite surprised by all the mesh items she has created. I have always loved the designs of this store; they seem to just fit my personality. They are stylish with a mix of classy and casual. I actually forgot completely about the Christmas gift until just now; after peeking in the box, if you haven't picked up one, definitely stop by the store! There are three mesh goodies in what appears to be all colors included in the box!

The textures on JANE's mesh clothing (all of her clothing actually) is very well made; the shading and highlighting add an extra sense of depth to the clothing. I absolutely LOVE the way the mesh clothing moves so smoothly with me. I have noticed a bit of flickering with the alpha layers, but I think that may be a problem with my viewer instead of with the alpha itself. To stop the flickering, simply bump up your graphics a notch (or two). JANE's mesh clothing comes in four sizes; mesh clothing does not stretch to fit around your body, so you may need to edit your shape a little to fit properly in them. Also, the items are very reasonably priced; most mesh clothing I have seen on the grid is hundreds of lindens. Both the coat and pants I'm wearing cost 150L each; JANE also has mesh items priced lower.

What's the thing that I love the most about mesh? I don't have to move around prim pieces when I finally am ready to pose for my photos! It was so nice to not have to take all of that time to make sure every piece is where it should be. Speaking of posing, I was so excited to see Glitterati participating in The Fashion Garret! The first pose set includes five poses for a mere 70L. I'll take discounted poses from one of my favorite pose designers any day of the week! Also, for a limited time you can pick up a free 250L store credit at Glitterati; if you are in the VIP group, there is a free 500L store credit for you!

My Padded Room

This post has seriously been the most fun I have had with blogging in quite a while even though it took me quite a bit longer to do than intended, but that is simply because my real life job started back this week. (Insert sad face here) Today, aDORKable Poses released a padded room pose prop, and it is unbelievably adorable... or adorkable! This prop is going to be so perfect for a new blog that I'm working on which will be announced at a later date. ;-)

My Padded Room contains seven poses with position adjusting scripts. The entire setup is only fifteen prims which is extremely low compared to some props that I have. The build is copy and modify; so, feel free to play to your heart's content! And, best of all, it's only 10L! The prop is part of the Platinum Hunt which runs through August 31. You are searching for a small blue jewelry box with pearls hanging out.

I know that I look a little insane in my pics (that was the point though, really), but I really do love the outfit that I'm wearing. Black as Night is a recent release from Siss Boom and is actually a dress, but the skirt didn't work well with the poses. Lestat Reuven has a new location with a new setup and some possible Meeroo nests in the near future! It really is pretty, and you should definitely check it out.

Viola

The creative mind and immense talent of Agnes Finney never ceases to amaze me. She is able to beautifully mix intricate designs with soft details, an ability that seems to be quite rare in Second Life. Queen Viola is one of My Precious' latest formal designs, and it is simply breathtaking. Layers of semi-transparent flexis are used in the skirt which has a gigantic bow attached to the top. The movement of the skirt is to die for; it's perfect for ballroom dancing or making your way down the virtual catwalk. This dress comes in three beautiful colors: champagne, lavender and pink.  A headpiece (not pictured) also comes with your purchase.

Timeless is a beautiful long, white feathered dress that is sure to leave your date speechless, and Dog Days is a fun capri outfit that is perfect for a day out with the girls. These are on special for 100L each for a limited time only. Grab them before the price goes up!

Butterfly

I was more than a little sad when Siss Boom closed it's doors a while ago. Not only is owner and designer Lestat Reuven amazingly talented, but she has a heart of gold as well and I knew I would miss her terribly. Thankfully, Lestat didn't decide to stay away forever and opened her shop back up a couple days ago.

Butterfly is one of Siss Boom's newly released designs, and I must admit that I am in love with it. I remember wearing poofy, elegant dresses almost every day when I first joined Second Life. There was just something about being able to dress up that seemed almost magical. The textures featured on Butterfly are very soft, feminine and beautiful. This dress would be perfect for a night out ballroom dancing or even a romantic stroll through a park!

If you like Siss Boom designs, be sure to join the in world group to receive notices of new releases and specials!
