Mash Times 2

Sometimes a mashup comes with buying a new item and then creating a "look" around it. Other times it comes from somewhat random wanders in one's inventory. This post contains one result of each method.




One method I use when I don't know what to wear is to search for a specific color and wear the first of each kind of item that comes up. Sometimes a little cheating is necessary, but on the whole interesting outfits emerge. This mashup started because I was wearing Tuli's Group Gift Meredith skin, Silver Shine in Sunkissed. So I searched on "blue."

My sweater is the Blue Cashmere Sweater from Catt's Creations [now closed inworld but available on SLX according to her profile] Underneath I have tucked the Smock Tube Top that comes with a sweater from Tres Blah! My jeans are from Second Wave Apparel in Indigo. Shoes are the bottom part of Maitreya's Dune Boots in Blue. My necklace is Lucas Lameth's redo of my old favorite of his, Louvelle. My hair is SHY48 from booN in Blonde.




My second mashup is organized around one of Decoy's newest items, the Izzy Cardigan in Navy. Because I'm a bit modest I'm wearing Sioxie Legend's Cami T-shirts in Tropical Hibiscus underneath. In order to tie it all together I wandered over to artilleri to get the Nina Highwaist Pants in Green and pulled ETD's Hampton Wedges in Caribbean from my inventory. My necklace is an old favorite, the Wooden Heart in Green from Tuli. Hair is ETD Xaria in Auburn Burnt and my skin is Tuli's Meredith Captivating Copper in Pale.

Doing an inventory search or pulling an outfit together for a new item is a good way to find old friends in you inventory.

SALE at SWA!

The talented Sioxie Legend has put some selected summer items on SALE, including her always wonderful capris and those amazing new Ruffled Tops. Look for the SALE signs throughout the store.

I've blogged her capris before, but somehow I had not bought the pink striped ones and look how well they go with the Lilac Ruffled Shirt, which I now own in a few colors, but not enough yet!

Other details: ETD Starley shoes in PINK, The NEW ETD Sarah hair in Copper and the Curio Sugarplum makeup in Lumine.

Meet Cassandra

In Ancient Greek Cassandra means "she who entangles men," but there are no tangles here, only tender tendrils in the first hair release from skinner & clothier, Launa Fauna. She acknowledges that there will be some changes en route, but it's looking very good indeed! I am wearing what is now called "red 2."

The rest of my outfit consists of some old and new favorites. I'm wearing Second Wave Apparel's Ruffle Top in Orange, my old standby, the Soft Black Leather Pants from Ibizarre and the HAYSURIZA Earth-wedges. My necklace and earrings are the Spheres in Peridot Necklace & Earrings from Dark Mouse.My skin is Meredith Captivating Copper in Light from Tuli.

Sunlight & Sioxie

Just when winter's dawn seems the coldest a content creator reminds us that summer's warmth, at least in Phil's Place, is just a system shirt and pants away:) I've enjoyed many of Sioxie Legend's Second Wave Apparel creations, even giving the wonderful SWA silk pants as Christmas presents to my female friends. But the minute I saw her new camis and capris the question was, simply, which ones?


I opted for the capris in "sunwashed" [see first paragraph for the reason ;)] and the cami in "tropical hibiscus." This was only one of many wonderful combinations from the options available at her Plush Omicron store. I had to wait my turn as others cycled through the options, but *finally* they were MINE. And I might add at a very reasonable price.

The formfitting capris are nicely detailed, as is the cami with its lush pattern and perfect lace at the neck back and front. Other credits are below, but I have to mention Violet Voltaire's new jewelry set Angel, full of crystal hearts and primmy delight. It comes in four stone colors and 2 metal colors, of which I have already purchased two LOL. I'm wearing the silver/black combo here. Violet isn't a prolific creator, but what she does is very wonderful indeed!
