These Boots were made for Walking...

OK, so I haven’t been too impressed by mesh clothing items so far. Mainly because I like my shape and hate adjusting it for anything. Can you imagine how many shapes you are going to need if you have a variety of mesh items? Either that or you spend time every clothes change adjusting your shape. No thanks, not for me at the moment.

So, I can hear you ask, why am I blogging a mesh item? Well, when I finally got round to visiting Slink again and saw their new mesh Tall Leather Thigh Boots I just had to try the demo. On trying the boots on and settling on curvy fit (me, curvy? Omg!) I then returned and purchased the silver ones. They were just a 'must have'. The textures are brilliant, the choice of tall or taller boots divine and the no losing bits of leg when crossing legs a joy, care of mesh.

To show off these sex on heels I chose Nyte'N'Day Stringy Bikini. It has quite a retro feel to it that just matched the boots perfectly, with a 3 strings theme on both bikini bits.

Then I decided that I was too pale to show off both these gorgeous pieces at their best, so I swapped my skin for one of PXL’s Efe skins.

The hair I knew straight away was going to be *X*plosion Hair*s Kayli as the headband allows both colour and shininess changes. So white on high shine became silver.

Then I added [glow]’s NoRound Earrings from a past TDR.

I did walk around inworld a little like this; it felt amazing like I was another avatar. It was great fun.

All that Glitters...

It started with the new LeLutka releases and a particular dress I was willing to purchase. It ended with a totally different dress…lol

The Maria dress in gold is pure Shirley Bassey. One shoulder strapped, sleek evening dress. It was love at first sight. A sculpty top and waist sash add cleverly to the design and style of this dress. Simple, elegant and stunning.

Then the hair dilemma, until I remembered the *X*plosion Kayli hair I bought not so long ago. This time I used the hair with diamonds littered in it. I also tinted the wide headband yellow then applied full shine to it…yeah…it turned gold before my eyes…lol.

The skin was also a dilemma. I tried quite a few on until I wore a [PXL] Grace skin. Perfect…such an elegant face without being over made up.

Shoes were easy…Detour Gold metallic pumps.

When I panned back I noticed the whole look lacked something...maybe a necklace…a choker even. I dived into my inventory and remembered Ryker Becks Czarina choker from her previous shop. Perfect.

Ms Bassey…watch out…there’s another diva about!

Hair Xplosion!

It started with *X*plosion hair Kayli. This wonderful, casual updo with a wide headband is just fantastic, I love it. From the too long fringe and wisps of hair to the huge bun at the back…the hair colour, texture and styling is brilliant. The headband comes with both a colour change and shininess menu…so clever…so it can be paired with virtually anything. Included in the folder are both small and big sizes of hair, modifiable, plus both sizes again but this time including jewels…to give even more variation on what you can wear with it.

So, the hair chosen…what to wear with it? I went through all the unsorted folders and clothes in my inventory and came across the MichaMi: Soraya Limited Edition Gift. This is a simple yet stunning green bikini. Thank you MichaMi for quality piece of free clothing.

Shoes (not seen) are ETD Peep Sling backs tinted green and the jewellery comes from (Caroline's) Natural Wood & Jade Set.

I spent the rest of my day dressed this way on my beach…lol.

PS. Fun shot here...
