A Difficult Post

I hate trying to mix mesh pieces from different brands together.  Hate it.  I wanted to challenge myself, though, so I tried.  I sort of succeeded, lol.  The outfit is finally together and I like the way it looks but I had to alter my shape pretty dramatically to make it happen.  I had to fit into a XXS on the corset for it to be able to work under the skirt and my av normally wears a medium or small. 0.0  See, the problem is, the skirt from Bare@Rose only comes in one size.  That size is, I would say, around a medium in standard sizing.  It's rigged so no resizing allowed.  I was dumb and didn't try a demo before buying five new outfits from there, thinking I could use them all for mixing and matching. Blargh.  The wonderful thing about it is that all the pieces from Bare@Rose come in multiple colors, usually with a full out, not just one item, and they are dirt cheap.  So, even though the items are very difficult to mix and match, I am still happy with my B@R purchases.
My top is from Ingenue for Collabor88.  The top is available in a zillion sizes (standard sizing plus more) and the alpha layer textures for downloading to edit in case the alpha layer included doesn't work.  Lots of colors available and only 88L!  My necklace is part of a jewelry set from the MySecondBox group samples this month.  Ring and earrings also included.  My head wrap is from Vaughan's @ Fashion Voodoo.  The head wrap comes with two hair base tattoo layer options (I am not wearing them, I just felt like mixing it up and using a subscriber gift Hairoin base) and the wrap itself is texture change to three different patterns.  My skin is a new-ish release from JM:Mai that I just kind of decided I loved based on the fact that the lips and eye area definition was awesome.  It comes with two lip options and also eyebrows colors on the tattoo layer.
My shoes are new from Lassitude&Ennui for L'Accessoires.  There are lots of colors available for 350L each or you could be a rich girl and get the fat pack for 1000L. xD  The feet come with a skin tinting HUD that is pretty easy to use (color picker and RGB options, as well as various skin texture starting points) and also has twenty nail color options.  Rigged mesh and unrigged, resizable, mesh included.

Top: Ingenue @ Collabor88, 88L

Migraine Blog

CURSES YOU HORRIBLE MIGRAINE!  I SHALL SMITE YOU WITH TYLENOL AND CAFFEINE!  FEEL MY WRATH!  Okay, maybe I am being a bit dramatic but the Festival of Sin includes the sin wrath, am I right?  Well, any excuse to use the angry face emote in SL I guess.  Haha!  One thing I absolutely can't be angry about though is this dress from RezIpsa Loc.  I met RezIpsa a couple of years ago when she sent me a review copy of jeans in her store when she had about 10 items in the whole place.  I loooooved them so much!  Eventually we started chatting a bit and she joined Plurk where I have been able to see all of her releases and watch her grow as an artist and it's been so fun to see the progress.  I really love these lace dresses (they come in a billion colors) though I'll say right now I photoshopped the prim part of the skirt to blend in better for the photo.  It matched well already but my shadows messed the lighting up and it looked crazy in the final photo so I smudged it to make it look prettier. xD  I don't usually PS much of anything so I wanted to put that out there, haha.
My skin is a new release for the Festival of Sin from La Petite Morte.  I'm kind of addicted to finding new skin designers, skins being my biggest shopping weakness since I joined SL, so to find a store like LPM that is making original, basically from scratch, skins that is still fairly unknown is pretty exciting.  The skins have been making the blog rounds lately and I am excited to see other people's photos and really excited to see what the creator comes up with in the future.  My necklace is from Caroline's Jewelry at the Festival and it's just a fun, simple, messy necklace that really fits the "sloth" theme but in the classy style expected of Caroline's.  The hair is from Amacci and...well...it's just so wild and crazy I couldn't NOT blog it.  I'm a sucker for big, crazy hair!
Sorry Kitty for all the Festival of Sin posts. xD  I'll get back to more stuff in normal stores I promise!

Just Getting Started!

First Vintage Fair post!  I'm super excited about the vintage fair (and not just because my store is in it.)  I have been longing for there to be a vintage fair forever so to finally have one with so many wonderful creators has the feeling of relief only a pixel clothes-gasm could give.  Cough. 
This dress from Connor's is just simple, chic and glamorous without being too formal.  Great for a date night.  The skirt is in three separate attachments to make movement look more natural.  Let's go dancing!

My hair is from Loq.  Can't do vintage hair without some rolls, am I right?  Lots of colors available, great textures, and the hair sits on two attachment points so it doesn't freakishly poke through your torso.   Another win for Loq!  My necklace is from Caroline's Jewelry and...yeah...I have a thing for cameos.  *Strokes it like a creeper.*  STAY AWAY FROM MY CAMEO!  IT'S MINE!  Oh.  Uh.  Hi.  Ahem.  Anyway.  The skin is by yours truly at my new brand Adore&Abhor.  Mango, Mango! is gone!!  Goooonnneeee!  I have teamed up with my Canadian all star SLwife, Airedine Poe, and am going to be making skin and makeup for her existing Adore&Abhor brand under the name Adore&Abhor Cosmetics.  Wish us luck! :D

Worn:
Dress: Connor's
Hair: Loq
Skin: Adore&Abhor
Necklace: Caroline's Jewelry
All of the above are available at Vintage Fair 2011.  There is currently a set landing point so you'll have to follow the red beacons and wade through the lag to get around but heck it'll be worth it. :)
Also Worn:
Eyes: Croire

Gently Used (Insert Mom Joke Here)

I am doing one of the awesome new blogger challenges lined up, this one being to show off items we have had for one or more years! With so many people coming and going in SL a year can be a pixel lifetime. I buy multiple items *every day* so often even old favorites get lost in the inventory vortex of doom.I had to bust out this outfit by Artilleri since I have had it for over three years. Yes, THREE years, and it still looks better quality than most new releases from other stores. This is quite a feat! And, well, look how cute it makes me butt look :D
The skin is one from Chai, which is owned by the same owner as L. Fauna. Chai skins were early favorites of mine and I have had this bad boy since 2008. I think I have every makeup in several tones from this particular skin line xD I added some "modern" cleavage to it from Ayumi because my current av is kind of flat chested and it looked weird with the low cut shirt >.> This skin line is still a favorite of mine, years after it was released.
Worn:
Shirt and Pants: Artilleri (3+ years)
Skin: Chai (2+ years)
Hair: SLink (1 year)
Shoes: Maitreya (Approx. 2 years, still free in subscriber)
Glasses: Insolence (3+ years)
Necklace: Caroline's (Approx. 2 years)
Bracelets: Armidi (Recent Acquisition but was not created recently)
Cleavage: Ayumi (recent acquisition)
Eyes: Wasabi Pills (Approx. 1 year, still free by the lucky chair)
**Most items are still available for purchase; I did not, however, check to make sure that *all* of them are
