One Good Shot Deserves Another!

This whole post began with the Vermont Sweater from the wonderful new men's brand, VanGuard who have a branch store on Copley Square. I am wearing it in Clay. The other colors for this sweater are equally as subtle. The primmy parts come with a resize script that works very well. I paired them with the no longer available ETD Silver Jeans.


I kept the boots, skin and hair from above [see below], but changed into MichaMi's very sophisticated Kat Dress in Golden Brown. Milla's textures are superb and this dress is no exception. It has both sculpted and system skirts, the latter at my request and which I am wearing. My leggings are Maisie in Cream, also from MichaMi. Jewelry is from FuseMelon, the Forget Me Knot Pearl Two Tone set.

Worn in both pictures:
Boots: Elikatira Secret Boots in Dune
Hair: ETD Aveda Short Crop in Sienna
Skin: Adam & Eve Taylor in Smoke Natural

"To say or express by gestures."

Is how ges·tic·u·late (j-stky-lt) is defined, a fitting name for Elusyve Jewell and Gidge Uriza's newish pose shop. Now that they have taken a store at Copley Square, I hied myself across the sim and ended up buying the !GE! Mif 1-5 pose pack, of which 4 are pictured:) I love the happy quirkiness and the fact that they work well from several angles.

Most of what I'm wearing is either only available on SL Marketplace or not at all:

MichaMi: Glitter Tube & Leggings in Purple [Marketplace]
Lyra Muse: Vanessa shoes in Gunmetal [NA]
Soda Designs Custom Skin
FuseMelon: City Life hair in Red Spice
AlaMood: Infinity necklace and Simplicity earrings

Summer Shopping

Two of the best places for summer SL shopping are Artilleri and Whippet&Buck. With a bit of Humming thrown in. From left to right...

W&B Lizzy Cropped Boatneck in Coral. This one is a real teaser, Modest front then a tied peek-a-boo back. It comes in so many colors that you should just get the fatpack and be done with it. On the bottom are the Artilleri Johanna Denim Shorts. They are a bit high-waisted with the best rolled cuffs ever! Earrings are Whippet&Buck's Aemilia. Again in many colors. And yeah just get that fatpack LOL

Artilleri's Darla shirt in red, minus its red tie is paired with W&B's Georgie shorts in West Coast. Many beautiful colors. Don't make me say it again ;) Violet Voltaire Heart Container earrings and pink plaid flats from In Her Shoes complete the look.

Finally, those Artilleri shorts again with the CheckGauze Shirt from Humming and Shiny Things Zimmy Flats.

So get thee to a store and stock up for summer!

Jori Times Two

Today I'm blogging 2 items named for Jori Watler. If you know Jori, as I do, you know that it would be impossible for her energy and moxie to be contained in a single outfit, so here we go!




The first is a delightful cardigan, designed to mix and match with other 5th&Oxford goodies designed by the uber-talented Roslin Petion, but it mixes and matches nicely with the rest of your pixel wardrobe. I'm wearing it in with my favorite Narwhal pants in Egg Blue. Tucked underneath is the Simple Shimmer Tank in Lemon from *Cupcakes. Shoes are the Jane Wedges in Tan from Shiny Things. I'm wearing L.Fauna's Lapine skin in Pale 2. The makeup is the group gift one, Faberge. Hair is an old Truth called Lucy in whatever he was calling that color back then.



Jori, by MichaMi was made at Jori's request. It is a very simple dress, yet complexly constructed with the sculpty top and skirt. Several sizes of each are included and they are mod. The textures and interior shadows are very well done. The dress comes in a range of colors, both muted and bright, but for me the yellow is the prettiest :) I'm wearing it with ETD Heels Strap in Sunshine. [BTW ETD now seems to be closed]. Earrings are from Paper Couture and the hair is City Life in Red Spice from FuseMelon. I know the skin is PXL Creations, probably Kim in Natural with wine lips.

Flight of Fancy

It all started with a picture Aemilia Case posted on plurk -- a hairstyle with a witch's hat. I asked for a version without a hat and she said it was coming. And here it is -- Twig Snap in Red Spice.




In IMs with Aems I suggested it looked like "cootie garages" and that it needed birds to make it complete, since it resembled a coiled bird's nest. I ended up attaching the HPMD* bluebird to my chin and editing ... and yes it's one of those that ^chirps^. I was able to make it small enough to nestle in my hair. I love the stray flying bits in the style as well as the slightly ragged-edged bangs.

Continuing the theme of flight I then added the *BOOM* Aranel's Wings (flared). These wings are beautifully made. I particularly like the bit of glow around the edges as well as the heart "plumb line."

The rest of my outfit I have blogged before: belt from Dark Mouse, MichaMi's Laila top in Cream, LF Fashion Isabeau leather pants in brown, J's ankle boots in sand and PXL Creation's Grace Natural cateyes/rose lips with freckles. My tattoo, barely visible, is the hart, thistle & thorn tattoo from ~silent sparrow~.

Winter is icumin in

With apologies to Ezra Pound and thanks to Puma Jie for her Blogger's Challenge. Three fall looks. I do love Autumn, but unfortunately winter follows... Until then I will enjoy the crisp days.



First up is the Diana skirt in brown from Kunglers, which I have paired with Muism's Superfine Polo neck in chocolate and Lyra Muse's Liah Boots in Gunmetal [no longer available alas:(] Skin is Curio's Breeze 2/Mudslide in Petal. Hair is City Life in Chestnut from FuseMelon & earrings are Divine Deco in Gold from Dark Mouse. I love the skirt as it comes in 3 sections--helpful for adjusting to your shape.



Next is the Ibizarre Highwaist Tweed Set, which comes with a useful black turtleneck. I love the tiered sculpty skirt and the buttoned high waist. My skin is PXL Creations Kim Spring Rose in Natural. The hair is Olivia in Henna from Amacci. Stocking are Dots from *Sheer*. Shiny Things/ Hyasynths in black adorn my feet. Last the jewelry set is from [chuculet], their sofia in gold/crocodile.



Last, but far from least I am wearing the BettiePage Voyager old fashioned CHIDORI skirt in brown houndstooth. It has a convenient resizer, but I guess my hips are wrong for it as I had trouble getting it to look perfect. But it's so charnming that a little less is okay :) Everything else I am wearing is the same as the first outfit, except my hair is Wren by Philotic Energy, still available in a small store across from Aems' new store, FuseMelon.

All poses from the [LAO] Female Bloggers set.

Happy Autumn All!

Whatsa "FuseMelon"?

A "FuseMelon" is what happens when Aemilia Case gets the itch to create. Housed on the Descolada sim [as is a smaller version of her former brand, Philotic Energy], FuseMelon showcases Aems' new clothes, new jewelry & other accessories AND her all new, totally splendiferous hair textures.




First is my very favorite of her new styles, City Life. I'm wearing it in Red Spice. It is a beautifully realized style that I will have trouble taking off. My pearls are from *FM* also, called the Forget Me Knot Pearls. I'm wearing them in antique. See the picture below to see how the knot works.



Here I am wearing two of the other new styles available. On the left is Two Hearts. on the right Another Trance, both in Red Spice. I'm wearing the Forget Me Knot Pearl earring and necklace in the duotone set of cream & black. This is one of the nicest set of pearls I've seen in a long time. Simple yet elegant.

In both sets of pictures I'm wearing Adam n Eve Skin - Siren - Berry - Tone 3 and Poetic Colors eyes



FuseMelon also has a nice selection of handbags and messenger bags. This is the Flower Power Purse in Berry. The hair, Seeking Me, comes with its color-change hat. I am wearing it in Sugar. My dress is Second Date in Spring from 5th & Oxford. Skin is my trusty PXL Creations Kim in Natural/Rose Lips. Shoes are Maitreya's Shanti in eggplant.
