Hearts and Stuff

  Well.  My computer seems to be going down the drain.  I have been trying to get a picture of this dress from Dilly Dolls for days but crashed every time I set my graphics above medium.  I kept trying because I love, love, love it and eventually got an acceptable picture, but without shadows or fancy lighting.  So, what you see is what you'll get! Haha.  I am wearing this light-colored version of the dress but there are several color packs to choose from.  As with most dilly dolls products, the boots I am wearing included, the dress has a hud to allow you to customize the color of each part of the look.  With this dress you also get the option to hide the top, skirt or both so you can wear it with many different looks.  I love that!  I thought my cute, braided hair from Wasabi Pills and my glossy skin from Al Vulo added an extra sweetness to this saccharine festival.

  The adorable little conversations hearts wall hanging was a hunt gift from Alouette.  This is from the For the Love Of Hunt, which is not associated with the past FTLO hunts.  You are looking for a little house as the hunt item.  My table with all the little doo dads on it is a marketplace cheapie from a new-to-me store called Follow Us! and it even has more bits to it that aren't shown here.  I was bored one night and roaming around the Marketplace and saw a freebie from them.  I popped over to the store and was like WHOA at all the cute little thingies for free or cheap.  Fun times!
  Anyway, have fun and if I don't see ya tomorrow, Happy Valentine's Day!

Bootsies

Lassitude&Ennui has new mesh boots out for sale.  I am loving these boots!  They are so tough yet so feminine.  That is a hard thing to accomplish!  There are lots of colors available and they aren't super expensive.  They have lots of size options too so if you have tiny legs or thick ones you should be able to find a fit.

Check them out HERE.

Feeling Fae

Been really lazy with posting lately. I really like this next look though so I guess it was worth the wait. Anyway, I am doing a fairy type post, but seeing as I am not really the floofy, floaty type of person, the look ended up more "fallen angel" than "floating fae."

I took all of these pictures on the Forest Feast sim. I don't take a lot of location shots because frankly my computer can't handle them. I highly suggest anyone reading this go there though and look around at how beautiful it is, don't trust my lackluster background photos because the real place is amazing!!

I am massively in love with this skin from Cupcakes. It is one of the 250L Halloween makeups from the new Daydream line. The parts on Enchanted that were too harsh have been softened on this line, and the parts that were too soft have been sharpened. It's fabulous, I highly recommend picking up one, or two, or a bunch. It should also be mentioned that my computer can't see a lot of local lighting or glow, so some of the plants in the background, as well as the floral wreath I am wearing, have parts or particles that glow that you just can't see here.

Adam N Yum

I would like to introduce you to one of my new fave skins. The face on this Adam N Eve skin is phenomenal. I love it. Yumyumyum. The thing I love most about it is the lips. They actually look like the lips of a kitten-grinned darker-skinned woman. They make any shape look mischievous and ready to pounce! Rawr! The cleavage is fabulous too, but if you don't like huge melons there is the option to not have them of course.

See!?! Look in the close-up! So pretty. Too often when stores make darker skin tones they just slap like a brown color on top of an existing pale skin. Most of the time it doesn't look right. At all. This skin, however, is made with the fact that black women are beautiful too, and shouldn't have to settle for photo sourced skin of a pale white model just tinted darker. Anyway, let's talk about the boots. THE BOOTS! Seriously, some of the best 580L I ever spent, haha! The heel on them is perfectly curved, the textures just look touchable, I want these in RL, kthxbai.

The After Effect

SkinTight has released some really fabulous new skins. Not fabulous as in fluffy pretty, or haute runway, fabulous in a totally new way.

The new AfterGlow line is made to look like you just had a hard and fast quickie. Smudged lipstick, sweaty hair base...

...even carpet burned knees. Ahem. I think this skin can be used for some pretty fun photo shoots and some great role play. Even better, the skin only costs 250L! Sweeeet!!

I also wanted to show a close of up the Victoriana 2009 boots newly released from Dilly Dolls. I am a sucker for buttons (especially color change ones :P) so these are a must have for me. You need them too, you know you do!!
