Sometimes things just happen...

I have an embarrassing backlog of posts to do, but sometimes you end up in outfits that just blog so easily. Hence these two for a Sunday.



The first resulted from the perfect marriage of the !lamb Bang Bang Bob hairstyle in Butterfinger, still available for 50l Fridays through today and the Tuli Eva group gift skin in tone 3. Somehow the colors and textures just seemed to work. I love the slightly ragged edges in the hair, much more realistic than an even line. BTW Tuli's Eva, at least the gift one, has eyelashes on the skin. When well done, as these are, that is a real plus. Then the Dark MouseM Spheres in Peridot Necklace - Copper finished the look. I changed in MichaMi's Laila in Wine, as I'm not allowed to show you what's about to be new at MichaMi :)




The second outfit started with the Stitch top from Sweetest Goodbye, which I had seen on the feed. The question then became how to select the rest of the outfit. Violet Voltaire's No Love Lost set was easy. It shared that edginess that the top has. But black trousers just didn't work, nor did really brown ones either. So I am wearing the Isabeaux leather pants in brown [really a kind of greenish brown] from LF Fashion and some old Liah boots in Gunmetal for Jaywalk, alas no longer available. The hair is the new Eva from Exile in Auburn. It's a bit too ladylike for the rest of the outfit, but oh well :)

Again thanks are due to the 37 bloggers who took up my 3 Little Things challenge:

A Mashup for a November Wednesday

I bought the Magnifico Manolo boots in brown at the shoe fair--then the challenge began :) I decided to go for more subdued tones so as not to outshine the rich brown of the studded boots. So I am wearing the Isabeaux leather pants in brown from LF Fashion and a turtleneck in brown from the no-longer existing Frangipani Designs. My jewelry is the very 20s feeling Reversal of Fortune from Dark Mouse. Hair is Zoe in Copper from Truth and I'm wearing PXL Creations' July Spring Passion is Natural.

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~.
