Summer Lovin'

Once again, just to repeat, I'm really into the fluffy, pastely colors this week...okay, the past few days. I REALLY don't know how long it's gonna last.

But still..it's so cute.

Also, this avatar is relitively new, a little over two years. However, I've been in SL since '07, an I remember ElikaTira designs. it was the go-to hair place other than Deviant Kitties. And I had MAJOR disappoint when they closed down. I even still have some REALLY OLD ETD hair.

Let me tell you. I am SO happy she's back with a new line, and better than ever. In 'o7, the hair was quality. Great textures, great styles. PERFECT. The style changed, as things do. But the quality hasn't dropped at all. Elika hasn't disappointed me!

and mind you, they are the ONLY hair store I've seen that does that. They have an essentials pack. so instead of having four different types of black(seriously. Black is black, stop fucking around with it), you get a pack that has two browns, two reds, two blones, black, and white! And the doubles comes in a brighter, and darker shade. It's *PERFECT*. I hope other hair designers catch on.

Country Fried Cuteness

I'm really into soft, pastel colors and frilly things this summer. Sn@tch says it's beige, /I/ call it "champagne". But whatevs, I LOVE the colors. I also LOVE that LeLutka hair--I almost can never pull it off. But it works. This look has a totally cute sort of southern belle thing going on.

It's been a struggle with myself to change the dress. Eek. Either way, it's cute. The dress is from Sn@tch, and for 250L you get a bunch of different colors of this dress. That's a deal that just CAN'T be beat. Also, you will see these shoes often. I love them. So. So much.



Also, a bit more on the shoes. They're Kookie's first hud-run shoes, so it's a little confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get the resizer to work...

Couture Rant

Alrighty ladies and gents...mostly ladies. Here's my beef for the week.
Couture.
I don't like it. The idea of some couture outfits are cute, some clever, but mostly the textures and patterns are too jerky, and don't soothe my aesthetic. I DON'T like couture.

This brings me to my next point. I kept seeing Mimikri stuff on marketplace, so I went in world. Which I'm glad. It's couture, but nothing over the top, suitable for every day wear. It wasn't my style, and as much as I liked the designs, the textures just were a miss for me.

This dress is from Mimikri, and was probably the only thing there that I could see myself wearing. So, why the hell not. Right? It's cute, but the put-together didn't feel right. The piece on the torso is connected to the skirt, like a tube. The dress isn't mod, and it's resize scripted. You can't position the individual prims, and I don't like relying on a script to position prim by prim.

Also, if you're hippy(wide in the hips, not like "peace, mannn") like I am, you will stick out of it. The top piece doesn't flatten down, so you may have a bit of the sculpt stick out at the top. I'd enjoy this dress a lot more if I could mod the prims myself.

Either way, there's some over-the-top couture stuff, and things that are a little more tame for every-day wear. Just because it's not my style, doesn't mean it can't be yours. Also...

This is what's going on under the dress, to look pretty. YIKES!

I'd Rather Be Blind....Blind Mag!

So, I'm a sucker for Rock-Operas. Especially ones with a more gothy tone. Thanks to my friends down at Species, they told me about this musical called Repo! The Genetic Opera. And it was FREAKING AMAZING. My favorite character was Blind Mag, played by Sarah Brightman.
Beautiful, tragic, and talented.

This is the outfit from Mag's final show.

Outfit(includes shoes, stockings, dress/corset, gloves, choker, bracelets). This is where I also got the gemmed eyelashes in the photo: Nightshade - slurl.com/secondlife/Witching%20Hour/85/125/36 - Blind Mag Complete Costume (They even have Parvi, Roth, Shiloh, Repoman, and the Genterns!), and Blind Mag Show Lashes

Bunbuns and New Blogs!

Okay, so I ended up making a fashion-blog, because I have a lot of people complimenting my style, and it's hard to keep up with and constantly pass LMs out. And sometimes I can't remember a cute outfit that I wore ages ago. SO. This is to help me remember, also!

I dont feel like rambling on and on about particular outfits, so I'm just gonna list the store/SLURL - product name - color

Please note that SLURLS often change, so be smart. Use the search function.
