Scandinavian Fame

Aaaaahhhh Christmas Break! It was so nice to finally be able to wake up after the sun rises this morning. Snow is still on the ground from the monstrous storm we had last week; hopefully it will stick around a few more days to give us a white Christmas! Speaking of the white stuff, I received an adorable winter items from an absolutely amazing designer yesterday. DCNY’s Scandinavian Poncho is completely sculpted (one attachment) and reminds me very much of a poncho I have in my real life. I absolutely love the complete wrap around design with the high collar and fur trimmed bottom. The textures are very realistic and leave me with a warm and cozy feeling. Five colors are available for customers to choose from.

Although I wouldn’t necessarily classify the FAME Pumps from LeLutka as strictly “winter” shoes, the added leg warmers definitely make them wearable, and rather fashionable, during the colder days! I received these shoes as a very generous Christmas gift from my very good friend SweetDeb Kips. When I opened these shoes yesterday, I instantly fell in shoe love! As my regular readers already know, I can NEVER have enough shoes, and a perfectly sculpted pair of shoes absolutely sends me over the edge… in a good way. The FAME Pumps feature a thick high heel and an adorable tassel in the front. The textures throughout the entire shoe are realistic with added highlights and shading. Both the striped and plain styles of legwarmers are included with your purchase and are texture change with six colors to choose from. The top, main and bottom of the legwarmers can be changed individually. Fourteen color choices are available which can be purchased individually or in a fatpack.

Week 7 of 52 Weeks of Color - Cerise

Ok… So, I know that my picture isn’t even close to being mostly created from the color cerise, but that shade of pink is really hard to come by in Second Life! I was amazed that I did already have something in my inventory that color; unfortunately, it was old ETD hair. Don’t get me wrong, a few ETD styles that I have are still some of my favorites, but I am not necessarily a huge fan of pink hair. EEK!

The shirt that I am wearing is the upper portion of a dress, titled Roses Are Pink, by Lestat Reuven. I’m not sure exactly what the name of her store was at the time the dress was created. Her current shop, located on the Lemania SIM, is titled Siss Boom. Lestat has a very unique personality and enjoys changing things up quite often. However, through all the name changes and weekly (ok… sometimes monthly) building changes, her style has remained the same. Anytime I need a classy, elegant or casual look, I know that I will be able to find exactly what I am looking for among Lestat’s creations. She is one of my favorite designers in SL, if not possibly my number one favorite. She is an amazing person, and I absolutely love her to pieces!

I am actually wearing two pair of pants to create this look which is not possible without Viewer 2. The bottom layer of pants is the bottom portion to the Roses Are Pink dress by Lestat Reuven while the top layer is the Delirium Jeans in Coal by Miseria. I first brought you these jeans a few weeks ago, and the designer of Miseria was kind enough to send me the entire fatpack! It’s so difficult to find jeans that have a realistic texture and blend beautifully with the leg prim as well. Obviously, I am not wearing the leg prim in the picture above, but if you would like to see one of my previous posts with these jeans that the leg prim click here. A great pair of jeans, in real life or second life, is a must in any closet, and you most definitely cannot go wrong with these!

The boots I’m wearing, which I plan to do a full review on within the next couple of days, are one of the new releases from the newly created Mon Tissu shop by the designers of Surf Co. and Tres Blah. I have been looking forward to the opening on Mon Tissu since the announcement of the coming store was first released, and I am most definitely not disappointed with the quality of the items. The Provence Riding Boots are exquisitely made; you will be hard pressed to find another pair of boots of this quality for L$350. If you have not checked out Mon Tissu on the Lula SIM, I highly recommend that you do so. The design of the buildings and the surrounding land alone is worth a visit!

It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas

I would like to start off with an apology to the designer of JeSyLilo, LiLo Glom, who sent me five amazing new skins last week. I had every intention of blogging these last week, but real life got crazy fairly quickly. These skins are absolutely beautiful, and I am sorry that I could not get them to my readers sooner.

The new Christmas skin released by JeSyLilo last week is stunning to say the least. I particularly love the eye shadows; the designer has added just the right amount of sparkle without going completely overboard. The skin is offered in three tones (light, tan and dark) and five different makeup choices at L$1200 each or L$4500 for the fatpack. Each makeup has options for freckles/no freckles, small breasts/large breasts, matte/shiny and hairbase/no hairbase. Also, JeSyLiLo has placed several free items (including eight skins!) out for the Christmas season.

Delirium Aquarellist

I am wearing a mixture of designers today. My amazing jeans are a new design from Miseria, titled Delirium. The prim bottom blends beautifully with the pant portion of the jean, and I absolutely love the faded, worn look at the top of the pants. My shirt and shoes are both from Ingenue. The sweater, titled Aquarellist, is only available at the LE.LOOK! location of Ingenue. The shoes, titled Clara, are available at Ingenue's main store in a gatcha machine.
