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 :(

Know your ABCs

A is for Adam n Eve's Samara skin and Audrey dress, a gift from Maitreya,
B is Baiastice and the beautiful new pumps at Culture Shock [which is also a "C"] plus the colorful jumpsuit.
C is for Clawtooth and Bubbles Glamazon hair.

Now you know your ABCs :)

Poses are the last ones from [LAP] :(

52 Week Colour Challenge, Sea shell

Seashell...interesting colour. I dont have an awful lot of that colour in my inventory so when I came upon ELEMIAH DESIGN Beauty5 dress I was both relieved and delighted. A system dress, with the usual flap attachment that worked suprisingly well. The beauty of this dress lies in the texturing; prettylace with satin ribbon accents. Short and seethrough, this dress is not for the faint hearted.

Whilst rummaging I also happened upon fashionably late limited edition /platform stilettos that matched the dress. Simple, high heeled round toed shoes, ideal!

I also rediscovered a necklace that I had truly lost. A double looped, long affair with wonderful wooden chain work from  [MANDALA]. I thought it complimented the dress quite well.

As seashell was the colour I decided to go beach blond with TRUTH hair and simple PXL skin. I felt a real beach babe dressed like this.
