Collecting

  I love the MadPea adventure games. This month's game was one of my faves so far.  The sets for the game were so pretty!!  I wanted to wear something simple and cute to do the hunt, no mesh body parts or anything crazy to cause more lag than I already was going to experience, and I found these things in my recent item folder to make a cute (and affordable!) look.

  I took so many pictures of the last portion of the event, being careful to not show spoilers of course, and I took forever whittling it down to four options.  I was trying to decide which one to use when I realized that three of them had massive mistakes in them.  So that was decided LOL.  I liked them a lot though so I am putting the three unedited shots in one here.

  I highly recommend you check out The Collection game if you have some extra Ls and a couple hours free time to spare.  I chose the silver package because I wanted some prizes and was too broke to afford the gold at the time LOL.  If you can afford the gold, however, you should go for it because the creators are fantastic!  Check out the beginner's how to guide HERE and feel free to join the MadPea group for help or even ask me for tips if you see me online.  Enjoy!

Just Cuz

  So I spend most of my time in SL bald, AO-less, probably naked, because of the being a creator/hermit thing, as I have said before, so when I put an outfit on for no reason other than to feel cute I guess I should blog it.
  Most of these items aren't particularly new so I am sure you have seen the blogged a million time before.  I just love the colors, the shapes, the styles, and feel that considering how happy they make me I should show them, new or not!

  I left the photo completely unedited, no sharp angled rounded or pixeled line smudged, because I wanted to show you how it was pretty enough unedited, with my lower end graphics, that I still felt compelled to post.  Spring is here folks, and the colors are ready to pop!

Quick and Casual

  Just wanted to share this casual, romantic look from Paper Moon for Fantasy Faire this morning.  This outfit has so many pieces and I have not shown them all here even.  Here I am wearing the headpiece, the belt, the skirt, and the bonus eye makeup (from M.O.C.K. Cosmetics) but you can also get a top and rings as well.  I had a problem with the alpha layer for the skirt so I made my own.  Not sure if it was my own problem or if it was an actual mistake so I sent the creator a note about it.  I'll update this post when I get more info.!  Other than that I really like this outfit, especially the belt!  More details below. EDIT: The alpha is fixed and the creator is super nice and awesome.  Support nice creators! :D

Happy Vamps

It has been getting really dark, really early these and I have been thinking that if I was a vampire I would be super happy.  The days are short, the nights are long, they don't have to worry about freezing to death...yeah, it would be good to be a vampire way up north.  Anyway, because of that I decided to do a winter vampire look.  I am wearing the skimpy little fur one-piece outfit from Sakide for Around the World.  A vampire doesn't have to worry about staying warm so could totally rock this skin-baring look, hehe.  The outfit comes with a long-sleeved undershirt and boots as well!  My skin is a gacha item from Essences that you can get at The Deck right now for 150L a pop.  It's very realistic!  It comes with dark brows on it but I used the La Petite Morte eyebrow remover layer on top of it.  I used a set of alpha and prim vampire teeth from A Netherworld on that marketplace for only 75L and some under-eye shadow from my my store to finish the vampire feel.

My hair is from Alice Project for Around the World.  She has NINE new styles out for it.  I am not even joking.  I think the owner needs a nap.  The store is in like all the events ever, haha!  This style is called Yuri and can be used with any of the Alice Project Nova Collection dye huds to get the color you want.
Thanks for reading!

Road Trip Fail and Success

I have had this dress from Valentine E. for over a week now and haven't been able to blog.  I've had some time here and there to do it, that wasn't the problem; the problem was how I should do it.  I have seen other people make it look so glamorous and I know that I can't compete with that, being more of a kooky girl and less of a sophisticated fashionista. I didn't want to do my normal straight SL shot in front of a white wall thing because this dress screams a story that needs to be out of the box.  I felt like I was taking this dress on a trip around the grid searching for spots until I was just creatively broken down.  At that point I was at the Voc Linda sim and I saw this Winnebago and was like holy shit, that's perfect.  I put my av in a style that depicts a break-down, one wear you lose your heels and give up the glamor and just walk until you find what you need, as frustrating as it, much like my journey to get a picture I liked!

OK, sorry for the long rambling.  I had a lot of fun taking this picture once I got to this sim and had a location FINALLY.  If I didn't love this look so much I would have gave up long before and let my inventory absorb the items until they were never seen again, which happens to just about everything I buy, sadly. looool.  Anyway, this dress is only available right now at the current Chic Management event.  There are lots of colors available and it is sold in the mesh "standard sizing" options.  Please see the credits for the rest of the item details! :D

Feeling Kind of Earthy

Wow, I really hate the new Blogger home layout.  It's burninating my eyeballs with all the white. D:  But anyway, blog post time! I don't wear brown and gold tones very often, blame the goth-punk-psychobilly chick in me, but every once in a while I find some stuff I like.  When I saw this cabaret-inspired vest (part of a whole outfit) as a hunt item from Cillian'gel for Wear Gray I got super excited and decided I had to make a look around it.  I looked through the recent items tab in my inventory and was pleasantly surprised to find lots of things that worked with it!  Even this cute chair from Mudhoney and this lovely little beachy house from Funky Junk worked with the look.  This skirt from Miao was a great find especially, I love the ruffly bottom of it!

Here is the obligatory facial close-up where you can see my lovely skin from Cupcakes, my free eyes from Insufferable Dastard, and my free necklace from Artistry by ~E~.

For an even closer close-up, check out my shoes from baby Monkey.  I am wearing the brown version up top but I am a sucker for red so here you have them!  The version I have is color change so woo!

And for the closest close-up yet, check out my prim hands from MiaSnow.  I was weary of prim hands, hadn't tried them before this, but MiaSnow is always very affordable and these came with color change nails, bracelets, and, best of all, get this...Ring Pop Ring!!  YAY!  When I saw the store blog link to these in my offline messages I was literally about to go get my daughter a Ring Pop from the cupboard, totally not even shitting you.  It was meant to be!

Ok well I hope you find something you like and here is the rest of the info.!

Quickie Chickie

I've been in love with this dress for a few days now and I have known I needed to post it but I have been soooooo tired!  Well I finally dragged my tired booty to the computer so I could show it to you all.  It's from Line and is available in several colors.  The dress comes with a sculpted skirt option a well as the good ol' crotch flap option that I am wearing.  The sculpted skirt is a bit girly and flirty and the prim is, as you can see, a bit more straight forward sex appeal.  My avatar has strange hips and a big booty so I stuck with the prim so I didn't have to adjust the sculpt skirt. :P

 I wanted to show a close up of my 1L necklace and earrings set from Lolapop!  It's Lola's 32nd birthday and just about everything in her store is only 32L (plus she has tons of items that are normally under 32L anyway.)  This set is available at the front of the store for everyone.

My shoes are from Kalnins again!  I got them as a review copy (OMG yaaaaaay!) but don't worry, if I didn't love them I could NOT be bribed to show them.  I do, however, seriously enjoy these shoes.  They have the same easy tinting system and trillion colors options that the shoes from the last post I did about their brand.  I really like how this brand does interesting platforms on their shoes quite often as opposed to the traditional shape.  I also really like the bright red color they have for the shoe/nail option since it's the perfect shade to match all the saucy red lipsticks I love so much.

Same As it Ever Was

Something about the respected and revered and worshiped turns me into a mischievous little woman.  I see a uniform/military/something stuffy inspired outfit and I have to add rips and heels and cigarettes.  It reminds me of in Tim Burton's Batman when The Joker and his crew start spray painting the artwork, making something very serious into something completely the opposite, so I had to add the Catwoman helmet to this look. ;D

My shoes are from Alice project and, just a warning, they are mesh.  That said, they are attachments that come with a HUD you can use to change the vamp, strap, platform and heel colors.  You can purchase several HUD versions each with different colors and finishes (faded, patent, glossy, etc, etc.) or the giant fatpack of glory and amazeballs.  I matched them up to the colors in this look but really you can mix and match colors and finishes from all the HUDS to get the look you want.

I'm a Natural Beauty

I am really enjoying the new skin line from Natural Beauty! The store was previously known as Tik Tok but has recently rebranded.The Olga line has very rich skin tones and fits many shapes. My favorite part of the skin is the nose which has very unique shading. I chose my two favorite makeups from the line as well as the base skin to share with you as closeups.Each skin come with or without cleavage. Definitely check it out and keep a look out for what I am sure will be great future releases. This store also participates in events such as The Dressing Room so you should be sure to get great deals from time to time.

A Lovely Strand

The Strand is a brand I had never heard of prior to Hair Fair. I am glad to know them now though! The styles are very elegant and well sculpted. The textures are soft and shiny, the blonds are glamorous and the overall feel of the styles offered is elegant with a bit of whimsy.I recommend these styles for all you fancy updo needs :) The dress is a freebie from Ivanka Akina at Hair Fair. It comes with a sculpted rose decoration on the belt but I am not wearing it in the photo. I love the little lace bolero! The skin is an amazing hunt gift from CStar and while you can't see it well in the photo because of the sepia treatment just know it has bright colors, great cleavage and is well made all in all.
