Sooooooooooooo CUTE:)

Not me sillies, the Frill Bikini from GField at this month's Fameshed. I'm wearing it in "Lagoon," although all the colors are wonderful. It's an example of a GOOD use of mesh imho.

Also wearing Elizabeth hair [new for Vintage Fair] and Samara skin from Adam n Eve, , Baby T shoes by Pixel Mode and Random poses by [LAP]

Hello Redlips

Lips by Adam N Eve, hair by Clawtooth, Jewelry by Kungler. The skirt is ColdLogic and after that dunno.

Scarf it up!

LeeZu's new mesh Scarf Poncho comes in a pack with three designs, 2 opaque and one lacey see-thru-ish . I'm not sure I've described this correctly. Perhaps it's just best to say that you get a lot for your lindens here. I was fortunate enough to have the fatpack dropped on me so that may explain my confusion:) First the ponchos are gorgeous. The ponchos are in standard sizes, but very wearable over other mesh, unless you choose, as I have to, wear the lacey one by itself. In which case it's very wearable over nothing;)

Otherwise I'm wearing Adam n Eve skin, Exile hair [Kelee, my new go-to style], Maitreya Gold Esprit shoes in Cherry and Maitreya leather leggings in coal. Poses are by [LAP].

Pay It Forward :: SySy Chapman

One of the nicest people in SL is SySy Chapman. She is a talented creator, but I'm not blogging her just for that. She is one of the kindest, warmest avatars I know on the grid. And life hasn't always been easy for her either. So here's to SySy--may you be blessed with happiness!

I'm wearing SySy's Autumn Roses in Purple, Pixel Mode Baby Ts in Berry, Donna Flora's Laura set, Kelee hair from Exile and Adam and Eve's Samara skin in Natural. Poses are by [LAP].

Seeking Summer

The weather in the Chicago area is doing its usual flirtation with spring. Now you see it, now you don't. So Culture Shock provided me with a much-desired sneak peek into summer with these goodies from GField and GOS.

I thought GOS' approach to a charity event, in this case for Doctors without Borders, was brilliant. The base Gator Sport Shoes are the charity item and the color add-ons are not. Once you have the shoes you want the colors. Very generous AND very smart.

My outfit is a lesson in matching mesh and system. The frill shorts are mesh and totally winning. The top is system. The sleeves are fine, but the sculpty part on the bottom just didn't look right. Fortunately the system trim is a gorgeous lace that stands on its own.

Otherwise I'm wearing sachi's Samara skin and my hard-to-remove first mesh hair from Clawtooth, available at collabo88.

Poses are from [LAP], alas her last :(

OneBadPixel & Celoe

OneBadPixel Jeans and Halter. Hair is Exile's from TDR. Skin is Adam n Eve's Samara <3

Sometimes mesh from different designers doesn't work well, but in this case it did! Celoe's corset and 1BP's cigarette pants in apricot. Shoes and skin are named Samara :) both from Adam n Eve. Hair is elikatira. Poses are from [LAP].

It Only Takes OneBadPixel...

To make a girl feel delicious and naughty.

The new collaboration between sachi Vixen and Siddean Munro has taken the grid by storm. And with  reason. What girl doesn't want to look this good? Or this bad?

Dress: OneBadPixel/Cherry Cheong in Turquoise [standard sizing]
Skin:  Adam n Eve/Samara Natural
Hair: Lelutka/Lush in in Rita
Shoes: Pixel Mode/Mrs. Ts in Black/Silver
 Poses: [LAP]
Attitude: thanks to 1BP

A to Z Donna Flora: S is for Silvana and Samara (and Squinternet)

One of my favorite SL designers, Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora is having some serious health issues. All of us wish her the strength to handle it and send her the best love we have.

Cajsa Lillhook started the Donna Flora A to Z project to let Squinternet know how much we miss and love her.

Her designs are so feminine and elegant that it's hard not to feel special while wearing them. The Silvana dress and Samara jewelry set are no exception to this rule.

Complementing the beautiful textures and prim work are Shanti Champagne shoes by Maitreya Gold, my usual Adam n Eve skin, Liane with a no-longer available hair from Amrita.

You too can feel as feminine and elegant as I do. Take the taxi to Donna Flora and spend some lindens to enjoy the work and to help Squinternet with her expenses.

Bella Squinternet. Ottenga prego bene. Lo amiamo!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Sam Goes Shopping... learns to read

This is a tale of two very chic stores. MiaMai & Baiastice and one clueless avi who doesn't read carefully! I looked at the new MiaMai Black Label designs. Totally awesome, but wasn't sure what would suit. Then I saw the Chod collection and immediately bought what I thought was a nice strapless dress. WRONG! It was the Dakini Rosed pants! Hence the first shot. They're amazing pants, but left me a little bare...

So I thought.. why not match the tops from 2 of the new and lovely Baiastice dresses. First up is the Liksye dress in rose, which was a very subtle match I thought. Jewelry is the paper couture Riverstone set.
Then I thought well the black texture and white sparkles of the Baiastice Zoey in red might make a nice foil for the MiaMai Dakini pants in Rose. Earrings are paper couture Faceted Black Diamond Arrangement. The little cuff on the neckline precluded wearing a necklace. On the right is the Zoey dress on her own worn with Pixel Mode Baby T's in black.

Then, having shown the BaiasticeLiksye dress with the Dakini pants I felt it deserved to be shown on it's own. It comes with the back draped necklace. My earring are Muse Elle Orchid [NA]. Shoes are again Pixel Mode Baby T's in berry.

My skin in all shots is Liane Natural from Adam n Eve [R] with part of sachi's Christmas pressie to me, maples lips. [R] Hair is elikatira Breathe in Blonde 02.

Tadaima!

That's Japanese for "I'm home!" It was a wonderful 12 day trip to Kyoto, Japan. This blog post doesn't have anything to do with Japan though ;) Just explaining my absence.

Details:
LeeZu's Westwood Coat in Palace Flowers.
Ingenue's Leslie trousers in Tiffany.
MichaMi's Laila top in Wine. [R]
Adam n Eve's Piper in Tan Bare. [R]
elikatira's Breathe in Red 05.
Ingenue's Wanderer in . [NA]
Mandala's Senjyu earrings in Snow.

Details:
Artilleri's Auntie Elsie dress in Green.
Mon Tissu's Montsegur pumps in White.
Adam n Eve's Piper in Tan Bare. [R]
elikatira's Breathe in Red 05.
Dark Mouse's Anzac set in Gold

52 ORANGE (with grateful thanks to Luna Jubilee!)

I can't believe that I have done 52 posts in Luna's challenge,. Not always on time mind you, but I did it! Thanks again ms luna :)

While I've done inventory diving for most of the posts, for the last one the right dress fell into my pixel paws thanks to Anessa Stine of DCNY. It is her new Mesh Knit Dress in Harvest. [R] I'm still not a fan of mesh as it makes my shape "not sam", but it is nice to not have the mini-skirt flap. I also like the way the sleeves can be longer without looking icky. But more on mesh another time.

Other details:
Hair: Breathe in Red 05 from elikatira
Skin: Piper in Tan from Adam n Eve [R]
Jools: Anzac set in Gold from Dark Mouse
Shews: Sloane Pumps in Caramel from Mon Tissu
Poses: STaTus [R]

52 CREAM

The next to last of the 52 Week Color Challenge, brought to us by the indefatigable Luna Jubilee proves that the CREAM rises to the top! Thank you Luna:)

I know some of us have taken this as an excuse to go shopping, but I had a lot of fun diving into my inventory to find the items needed. In this case it's an old DNR gift dress, the Satin Shine Cocktail Dress in Yellow. It's still available at Nicky Ree's store. I am wearing the Samara Shoes in Champagne [yes named after me by the uber-sexy Damen Gorilla], alas now [NA]. My skin is also AnE, Ariadne Natural Lemongrass from the talented fingers of sachi Vixen. Hair is from Clawtooth, Good Evening in Strawberry Cream. The Cream Pearl Flower Necklace is from Dark Mouse. Poses from STaTus.

52 WENGE-ish

I had a WENGE outfit all lined up, then got sidetracked by inspecting a dress at a FLF stop and it led me to Carrie Snowpaw's store. I first ran into her work in the early days of InWorldz, but hadn't really sought her out in SL. This honey of a dress was on sale so I snapped it up. Then I realized well, it was Wenge-ish. Let me explain. Wenge is the name of a blackish & brownish African wood. Black -- check, brown --check, and the underlying pattern is a bit tigerish... so here we are!

Details:
Dress: Galiah Summer Floral in Caramel by Snowpaws
Shoes: Verve in Brown by Maitreya
Earrings: Sally by Donna Flora
Hair: Isa in Auburn by Truth
Skin: Ariadne in Lemongrass Natural from Adam n Eve
Poses: STaTus

Hatched!

This outfit started with the new Tres Blah Relaxed Kimono in "Hatched," one of the newest goodies from the nimble pixels of Juliette Westerberg. After a bit of fitting, the draped sections worked wonderfully. And the flower pattern on the "hatched" background is very Japanese.

To show off the lovely pattern and drape of "Hatched" I headed for some favorites of mine: the soft scoop tank in Midnight from DCNY [R], the Laila pants in Navy from MichaMi [R] and the old ETD Heel Strap Platforms in Navy [NA]. Jewels are the Prato set from MOOD. Hair is Ana in Copper from Truth and my skin is the new Adam n Eve Adriane in Natural Lemongrass. Poses are from /GEEZ/[R].

52 MOSS GREEN

For me MOSS GREEN is yellower and darker than Luna's color example, so I went with that.

An inventory search revealed the Off-Shoulder Chiffon top in flowers/moss green from G Field. [a past group gift] and the leggings from MichaMi's Ida dress [marketplace only]. Hair is Fastball from Exile in Pyre. Skin is sachi's new Ariadne in Lemongrass Natural. Shoes were a desperate inventory grab and I'm not happy with them. [Stiletto Moody/Elegant Slingback in Rosegold]. Otherwise I'm liking the look.

Thursday Mix n Match

Old, new and in between.

Adam n Eve, Maitreya, MichaMi, Primagine, GEEZ, DCNY.

52 KHAKI

WOOT! I'm actually posting this in the right week. *waits for everyone to pass out*

A search for Khaki didn't reveal much, but eventually I settled on the Chifone dress in Khaki, a gift from oyakin. I have to say that I am enamoured of the fluffy skirt. The "jools" are new, from Dark Mouse. They are called Dreaming of Camelot and the stones are colour-change. This "colour" is some sort of pale green that works well.

Hair is from elikatira, Details in White 05. And I am still wearing Liane from Adam n Eve with the Pinkade eyeshadow.

Poses are from /GEEZ/
