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...

Uncle Sam

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends.

I put this outfit together last year for a very dear friend of mine. However, he has never seen it as he always goes away for the holidays…lol.

So, I figured I’d blog it instead…lol.

I started with SFD uncle sam costume for females. It consists of a lovely tailored, navy waistcoat with a flash of white stars down the one side. The hotpants are the classic red and white vertical stripes with a navy, white starred belt. The belt has a solid looking USA silver buckle. All are system and come in many layers so you can wear however you want. The top hat is included , this is basically a red and white striped hat with an American flag tied as its hat band. It fits beautifully. Also included in the folder are matching boots but I decided not to use them.

Instead I used the Juicy Classic Pump - Stars And Stripes , which I am not sure are available anymore…so apologies if not. As you can see, beautifully crafted high heel pumps with navy with white starred heels and the front of the shoe are red and white stripes.

When choosing the physical attributes I went for the girl next door feel. The Fleur Allure Cinnamon Smudged 1 skin seemed to fit very nicely for that tanned, ‘no make-up’ look. Of course I had to have blonde hair and blue eyes…yes I know I stereotyped. I used ETD Sideswipe - Dirty Blonde and (Miriel) Eyes - Blue Opal (Big).

I kept the accessories simple…the TWEED heart necklace tinited red and a custom tattoo commissioned by me about 2 years ago.

I thoroughly enjoyed putting this together but I got ribbed by a Canadian friend for turning up like it to his studio..lol. Needless to say, it was Canada Day so I went and appeased him with a Canadian outfit..lol. ..but that’s for another day.
