Ello Ello, L!

Today is L day! *dances through your uh.. window*. Yep it’s not Love day, it’s not Lemon day (it sooo should be, EVERYDAY) but it’s L day, I threw this together in a record amount of time as I wasn’t on SL for long and I just hope it looks ok, not that anyone really pays attention but HEY, I like to play barbie :P

L - Alphabet Thingermedoodery

I started with looking for “L” eyes in my inventory and found most to be prefixed by “Light” if they began wit L, so eventually I opted for the Light Green eyes from Celestial Studios!

The next piece of the look was the hair and it was a total given. It’s Lorelei from my fav new hair makers, SLink! Not only do I love Lorelei’s style, I love the HUD system it comes with. You can control the texture of Lorelei, her bands and the size all through the handy little hud!!! So you don’t need to carry round a billion hairs, you can just buy the colour hud you require and bobs your uncle! A sexy style that could pass as casual or classy… it’s a must for any hair enthusiast, awesome textures.. awesome primwork, just plain awesome imo!

I then paired the hair with the hauntingly gorgeous Lady Edwina makeup from Fleur’s Shoujo line. Shown here in the Lily tone it’s one of the smoothest skins and make-ups i’ve seen, flawlessly angelic with bright pink lips and tasty teal eye makeup.

For the outfit I wasn’t sure which route I wanted to go, but figured i’d stick to casual, I have a lot of casual stuffs. The first bits I threw on were the Celestial Studio Lulu Denim Capri’s in Faded, complete with prim cuffs these Capri’s are a must in your wardrobe, as is the entire Lulu line, really! I paired that with a now discontinued brand/top.. It’s Long Tee (with Black Bra) from Lixz, a lil bit risque with it’s transparency but hey, you get a bra, what more do you want?! Finally to finish the look I put on a pair of Jaywalks finest sandals; Livia in Black!

What other L is there in my life? Uhmmm well lets see I have lots of LOVE… Lemons.. and LOTS OF LOVE FOR LEMONS, all in all if you have lemons and love… you’re set for life :D

ETD Re-opens!

I hear screams gridwide, the sim is already full to capacity and I expect it to be that way for sometime!  Yup, Elika has reworked and re-opened and there are 3 new goodies to purchase!!

ETD New

From left to right we see Chel, Torwen and Sasha Boots.

Chel:   When I first saw this I was a little taken aback!  It just didn’t look like an “ETD” style to me, I don’t know why, we all know Elika tries her hand at anything!  I was wary at first, I really didn’t think it suited me, but after wandering around in it for a while I totally fell head over heels in love with it.   It’s kinda braid, kinda up, kinda messy, kinda boho but VERY cute.

Torwen:   Torwen is a side knotted pony tail type jobbie.   It’s a classic style with a modern twist, or so I like to put it anyway.  It’s wispy, it’s sexy but it’s grounded and casual too, it’s the style that can stay in your inventory and you can put on at anytime and just look how you feel… sexy, classic, casual or chic… it’s up to you!

Sasha Boots:  These… THESE ARE SOOOOO YUMMY!   I don’t think i’ve worn other boots since having these, they are a slouchy style heeled boot with buckle detailing.   They go really well with either trousers or a skirt, or if you’re feeling like being naked, they are good at being on your naked feet while the rest of you shows off (that didn’t make sense, i’m sorry.. it’s early!).  I believe these boots are a wardrobe staple now they are released and I think you should go get them!  Well, when you can get on the sim that is *evil grin*

So! There we have it, re-opened, re-worked and released goodies, ETD IS BACK BABY! HUZZAH!

Cornered – New from Torrid!

YAY TORRID! She’s made a new pose set and I LOVE it, i’m loving all the themed sets lately!  This one is cornered and i’ve used the example prop included in the full set in the picture to give you an idea of what you can do with the poses, although you could use them in so many ways!

There are 10 poses (or 11, 10 has a and b! b isn’t shown).

Torrid

As I said it’s a theme set, with various leaning poses all of which I an already tell are goin to be a hit gridwide, I expect to see MANY photo’s being taken using these, which is just awesome!   There really isn’t much I can say about poses (I suck, I know) but I can assure you that these are top notch quality, as you will already know… they ARE by Torrid :P

I think these are a staple poses to add to anyones pose collections and I hope you go and buy them like NAO!

K!

Imaginative title, I know. Today is K day! I had a lil fun with K, it’s not really a look i’d say “matches” but hey, it’s my blog so PFFT!

Alphabet Smackdown - K

I had NO K in mind today so I just rifled through my inventory (and OH EM GEE, that took some time, it’s such a freakin’ mess!) and found various K’s!

The first thing I put on was the outfit, it’s from Katatonik and that’s the kinda store I own ALL of, but rarely wear, why?  I DO NOT KNOW!!  I love everything that comes outta that place, including the 7 Seas Fishing specials :D .  This is the Katty dress, shown here in one of the several trios of colours available!  I had to have it, it was yellowish :P .   It comes with the cute prim kitty pocket including kitty which is also color change on click! (heart on pocket and kitty itself).   The thing I have a love/hate relationship with on Katatonik dresses are the prims.   They aren’t mod.. but they do come with a resize hud, I just SUCK at getting the teeny details right and i’d find it easier to do it myself, but it’s a really good hud with many options, so it’s all good :P

I decided to pair the outfit with the Katy hair from Truth, shown in the tipped Barley/Seaspray texture, a really gorgeous updo with sexy wavy bangs!  I  do love Truth’s new textures and his usage of sculpties, he has them down to a fine art, that git! *shakes fist*

With those on I rifled through my eyes and to my dismay tehre were NO K ones, so I missed them out this time, sorry! :P    I did however have a few K skins, but I finally decided on one of my alltime fav skins (a free one at the time too! YAY GROUP GIFTS!).  It’s from Free Speerit and was a christmas gift, she’s called Kimberley and she came in two different makeups, the crying one has ALWAYS had a place close to my heart, I just really love it, maybe I lost my Kitty and I started crying and then I found it again? (unsure)

That was it for K!    I don’t really have another K to talk about, except that Kitty person.. Kitty Lalonde, yeah she totally and utterly rocks so hard it hurts and she has a BLAWG (well several, but this one is recent and fashion :P ) you should visit, it’s full of sexiness *nod*.  I LUBS HER!

Just another J!

Yes, in my completely unoriginal form of blogging, I am doing another letter.   Hey, gimme a break, I don’t earn enough to keep up with all the new releases, so I recycle! :P .   So today is J day, I really really like the look I threw together for J.. a LOT!  Hope you do too :)

Alphabet Smackdown - J

I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to work this outfit around, I don’t really have a fav J skin or hair or whatever, so I just searched “J” in my inventory… yeaaaaah, I like to live life on the crashy side :D

The first thing I zoinked out was the skin, it’s a Gala skin and I remembered as soon as I saw the name it was a skin close to my heart (shoosh, with over 10,000 skins to pick and choose from I have a hard time remembering names, alright?!).   It’s Juxt in Classic tone.   It was one of the first skins of Gala’s newish range to come out with freckles and we all ran so quickly we probably borked the sim.   You get a non freckled choice too, called Juxt sans Freckles :P   So you freckle haters need not worry!   I just love the bare glossy lips and dark sultry eyes combo, it’s freakin’ adorable.

The hair is from Maitreya and was one of last years Hair Fair hairs!  It’s Jade shown here in Natural Blonde.   A really nice longer haired look with texture change knit cap!   I fell for the bangs in this one, I love hair that covers one eye, I think it gives a real sex appeal kinda look to your AV, and well, the cute knit cap was just a huge bonus :)

The eyes are from Sin Skins and are the dreamy Intense Eyes in Jade/Caramel.  A swirl of delectable colours to whet your whistle, perfect combination if you can’t opt for just one colour, eh?

For the outfit , I first picked out the Ruffled Blouse from my Last Call Jessica set!   I really adore the low cut, the ruffle detailing without silly amounts of prims that cut into your body and belt too, I loveeee me the belt.  Of  course it’s no longer available (RIP LC!) but that didn’t stop me whacking it on, SORRY!

I paired the job with a pair of the yummiest jeans I own!  Just plain old Jeans from Zaara, shown here in Classic using the Slouch Prims, these are seriously awesome denims!    You get various options for the prim leg too, but I tried them all and opted for the Slouch as it’s one of the best Slouch prims i’ve seen on the grid, YAYYY for Zaara!!!!

Finish the look off with a pair of J’s Real Toe Cross Belt Pumps in Black and BOBS YER UNCLE!   I dunno about prim feet, but i’ve never had anything against toes, and I think the shoes look awesome with the rest of the get up, so THERE.

That concludes J and the other J I leave you with is Joss Whedon! Yup.. JOSS!  I’m a huge Joss fan, well I say HUGE… as you can guess from my name i’m the hugest Buffy fan, I also really love Angel, not so huge on Firefly and have only watched one episode of Dollhouse, but there is always Dr Horrible to fall back on, GOOO JOSS!

I-i-i-i-i-i

Today is I day!   I love I day!  I had a lot of I’s to choose from… most of which really really SUCKED, but I found a hair I really wanted to wear and it all went from there… So let’s get it started :D

Alphabet Smackdown - I

I really wanted to use the Truth Ivy hair on the I blog, it’s a hair at first I wasn’t too sure about it, but I thought it made an AWESOME picture hair, with the windswept look, but it grew on me and now I kinda love it!   Shown here in the tipped Barley – Seaspray texture it’s a really gorgeous hair for close up pics, not sure it would work all the time as a regular hair but it certainly works for me!

The skin is another new HELLOOO I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU purchase, well newish.  It’s the Bebae newest addition, Coral!   I am wearing Cinna tone Ice makeup and wooo hoooo, luscious lips and gorgeous sexy eyes.   I really love the shading around the boobs, not too sure about the collarbone but MEH I’m not that picky :P   It’s just a bit… pronounced!  But it’s gorgeous anyway :D   Gorgeous enough to buy the fatpack, BABY!

Eyes are from Detour and are from the Icey set… these are the Blue ones with dark sclera (as opposed to light)chosen!    Really piercing!

The outfit was really hard to choose, I had a LOT of I’s BUT.. .a lot of them sucked, really really badly.  Like most of it was old, but I managed to find an older one that I kinda liked.  It’s called Itzi Bitzy Skully from Canimal!  It really is VERY Itzi!   It’s more like a long shirt than a dress, but it IS a dress!   I liked it, so hey… if you guys don’t you find another I to wear :D

So another I?  Hmmmmm how about the I in me, myself and I?   I don’t often think of myself… I’m the girl that’s always thinking of others and how to not upset them, or how to make them happy and it’s high time I stopped doin that as much and thought more of ME… so I will, totally.   I’ve been doing it recently and it’s been hard but *I* am not there for your entertainment and I am NOT there to be the one you run too when you have no-one else, some people would do good to remember that ^_^

H is for Helllllllloooooooooo.

Hellllllllllllloooooooooooooo there, how are YOU? I’m very good despite being very annoyed by people (not specific, just generally :D ).  Today is H day!!!   I had a lot of H’s to choose from but knew straight away there were 2 I definately wanted to try and weave into a look.  So without further adoooo, it’s H!

Alphabet Smackdown - H

The first thing I *knew* I wanted was the Atomic Hope skin.   Shown here in Medium tone with Beaten 4, it’s a skin that I really didn’t like at first, but fell in love with.   I bought the Hope Beaten skins because I really wanted the eyepatch that came with it LOL, tragic I know… and then I put them on and was like WAAAAAAAAAH I LOOK STOOPY, but after a while I actually started to think I looked pretty cute!  I was a bit wary of the lip shape, but i’ve grown to think it’s awesome!    The one thing I do find about the Hope skins are that compared to other tones on the grid they look quite dull, it looks ok here with no other skins but sometimes in world it can look a bit… dead.   But that being said, I love the beaten makeup line and I heart the plaster on my nose so WHATEVER.

The 2nd thing I knew I wanted in H was the Honey hair from ETD.  Elika made this from a picture I showed her from the fim Honey and it’s become one of my most favourite hairs EVER.    It’s a casade of waves and sexyness and will forever be close to my heart!  *weep*.  Thank you, Elika for making my dreams come TRUEEEEEEE (<,<)

I paired the hair and skin with a pair of Hazel eyes from Celestial Studio, just part of the normal eye collection, no deep, no mirror and no unnatural, just plain ole Hazel!  Wonderfully muted brown eyes FTW.

The outfit was a bit more BLEH, I wanted to try and get something slightly beaten but only managed to find ripped, but that’s similar, right?   The top is from Sweetest Goodbye and is Herangsa in Black.  It comes with the jacket, the leopard bra on the underwear layer and a prim hood.   It’s one of my fav tops in SL recently as you can pop it with a skirt or pants and it still looks cool!    The Jeans are from The Abyss and are called Hell and Back in Black, they are low waisted, shredded and ripped and a lil bit dirty… perfect Jeans for a “fighting” look!

So that’s it for H, I like it, I dunno if you will but *I* do!

Another H for the post is Heather… that’s me… yup that’s my RL name, I hate it. The END.

Kkthxbuhbainao.

G is for GUH

Yeah GUH, I’m feeling UGH which is a mix up of GUH so YEAH!! *shakes fist*… I wonder if you’re getting bored of letters yet? Oh well… I’m not… it gives me something to aim for rather than throwing random stuff one, I now throw random stuff with teh same letter on! :P Anyhoooooo on with the show.

Alphabet Smackdown - G

I really wanted to wear this hair, it’s Magika – Gem in Blonde E, I really really really really love it, but it’s NOT the kinda hair i’d normally wear, so I thought WHAT THE HELL and plonked it on anyway, it’s G.. so it stays!   I don’t know why I like it so much, I just like the Gem’s dotted around, sue me.

The skin is from Gala and it’s one I have a love/hate relationship with.   I went and bought all the new Gala skins without even trying them on. BIG MISTAKE.  Just because skins NORMALLY look awesome on you, doesn’t mean they ALWAYS will.   I do love Gala and her ability to create awesomesauce but i’m not entirely sure about the new line, I find my face is too pale compared to my body, and the shading is a bit harsh… I still really dig them, i’m just not sure if it makes me look a bit pasty faced, but oh well, I am in RL so it’s fitting :P  This particular skin is from the Lovely set and is in Petal, you get oodles of options in the packs so it’s a really good buy, I just have to learn to live with the fact it’s different and Willis doesn’t LIKE change!

Eyes are from Miriel and are from the Fantastic Realism Collection and they are Gilded Plum!   Simple but sassy, like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.  Lulz.

The outfit is just one outfit today, nothing mix and matched!  It’s Gwen in Blush from Tuli and I HEART IT LIKE WHOA!  Not a dressy person but this dress blew me away!  It’s so sparkly and awesome and I love the cut of it’s jib :P .   It comes with prim bell type sleeves, a prim skirt attachment and a prim neck scarfy thinger.   

So yeah, G was quick.. was it not?!    What else can G stand for.. hmmmmmmmmm?   How about… GRAVY, god I love gravy!  I could seriously just drink it like tea, but perhaps with some Yorkshire Pud to dip in.   MMM MMM MMM GRAVY.   Gimme… GIMME GRAVY GUYS! There, three G’s… Win.

Kkthxbaiiiiibai!

Eff! Fffffreakin’ F!

F is the letter Alphabet Smackdown today, lovely lil EFF!

I wasn’t sure what kinda look I wanted to try and throw together for F, but I figured I never really look that girly… ever… so I decided F could try and be girly!

 Alphabet Smackdown - F

I started off by choosing my skin and I opted for Lionskins!   This is Suzana in Pale and the makeup is Freckle 1a.   I really fell in love with Lionskins when I first saw thetm, although I look at this now and think it doesn’t look very “me”.    The body shading is nice and not to much and the face is nice and smooth, although I look a lil like i’ve been sunburnt or have a slapped face, but I kinda like it, I love love love the eyes most of all.

I chose some eyes to go with them and tried to match the colour of my hair a bit, I kinda failed but kinda didn’t… they are from Miriel, Spectrum Collection and are Fire (big).   They are a yellow orangey style eye and I always opt for the “big” option, as I feel the small are TOO small, if you get my drift.

Hair for today’s F look is from Truth and is one of his newer styles – Felicity 2!  Shown here in Dune, Felicity is quite a wildish style in the respect of it being quite “untamed”… it’s very pretty but i’m not sure it suits my AV, but I had to have it anyway, so I figured i’d try and work it into a look!

The dress is from ETD and is an older style (I will not delete it Elika, shoosh), it’s the ETD – Floral Babydoll in Black!  A gorgeously flowy little number, not too dressy.. not too casual, it’s a bit of a mix and match of both!  With some floral/polka dotty style prints throughout the dress is a lovely piece of clothing, I think it’s still up, but I could be wrong, I usually am!

I finished off the look with the Shiny Things Francoise Flats in Black, a perfect lil sculpted flat shoe with gorgeous but plain detailing, available in many many colours!

What other F can I ramble about today… I know.. FRIENDS.   I have a variety of friends, some I hold dear to me ALL the time, wherever I go, some I don’t talk to often but know they are always there if I need them, some I wonder why I with at ALL…but…  I don’t delete people at the drop of a hat because i’m not the best person to stay in contact with either and I understand you don’t need to live in someones pocket to be good friends… but friends that are just big ole headfucks can quite frankly cram it up their bottoms, I don’t DO mindgames, I only do naked twister and sometimes 52 card pickup (wanna play? :D ).  I am starting to hug the mute/block button and you know what? It feels DAMN GOOD.

BUT.. that lil ramble being said, my friends… my very BESTEST friends… you know who you are and you made it to my heart because you DON’T play games, you AREN’T fairweather and you pretty much pwn my heart.  Ilu <3

Moonshine!

Ok first off the bat, i’m a pleb and I totally mixed up one of the skirts in the picture, but i’m at work and wanted to get this post out, so let’s imagine one of the skirts is another colour, that would help me nicely, kkthx!

Shelly sent bloggers a notecard with oodles of nummy pictures on of her lastest goodness because there were just THAT many things… and did I like what I saw?  Oh hells to the Y-E-S I did!

shelly

Above is just one of the many releases from Moonshine, it’s a gorgeous effort i think you’ll agree! The sets come in four different pairings of colours, but i’ve been a bit of a tool and not blogged the colours that go together… together, but HEY buy them all and you can mix and match, right?! (look below for the *actual* sets >.>)

These sets are kinda “heidi-esque” in my option, with the knee high socks, the flouncy layered skirting with a corseted high waist and the button up top with suspender type straps… it’s a really nice set,  it’s demure but kyoot, and that’s what we like, right?

 flirt

The other moonshine releases are below, it’s a huuuuuuuuuuuge release, I haven’t even included the abundance of mens stuff that will be out!   The top left corner is Mimi, which has a special RFL edition, I hope you’ll go and take a look and use your money to help a good cause and get a beautful gown in return :)
