Blaaaaaaaaack.

Yeah, I dunno what that title is all about, but I guess it’s because today’s main focus is BLAAAAAAAAAAACK.  Nuuna released an awesome new set of skins, all focused on Black Lips!   I love Nuuna skins and how she’s worked hard to adapt the utilities she uses with her own handy work, she’s an arteeest!

So yes, the skin come in various tones and 6 makeups in each, all shown below!   They are all pretty much NOT in the vicinity of plain and simple, but that was the whole point, me thinks :P

Nuuna Skins - Black Lips (Hair by Truth)

Overall I think the skins rock, I haven’t done body shots as I have blogged these skins before, but demos ARE available and Nuuna sent out a freebie to her SoM group too! YAY!

Ok, following that, and i’ll be brief… a look of the day…ish stemming from the makeups.   I think I kinda look like a sexy burglar, or a racoon, I prefer the first one so let’s pretend it’s that, yes? Alrighty then <3

Blogger’s Challenge and.. moar!

So.. Luna decided to put out a Blogger’s Challenge.  Basically, it’s a what do you find whilst cleaning out your inventory type of thing, now.. I used to be anal about clearing out my inv, but then I started slacking and now, oh lordy lordy… now, I cannot find a friggin thing.   So for this one I just went through my ****TO SORT**** folder, and rifled through the billionty sub **TO SORT, ***!TO SORT, ***SORTED NEEDS SORTING MORE folders and came up with an outfit that I kinda liked:

Lunas Blogger Challenge

Yup, there it is in its full glory!! It’s not very exciting I know, but I likes it! I’m gloomy at heart, didn’t you know?!  Full credits can be found at the bottom of zee page!

Also thrown into the mix are Truth’s new hairs:

Truth - New Hair

Melissa | Tamara | Nicky | Joanna

They are four great styles as usual, with this weeks fav by far being Joanna!  I love the scruffy short look, esp with the lil bobby pins too!  Of course the others are just as rad, I just think Joanna holds a big place in my heart for now, and the foreseeable future!   If you haven’t got them yet, you’re slacking and you’re also fired. OH! All the poses in todays piece are from Glitterati too, they are todays SLDD if you haven’t seen it already!

Finally, a semi naked photo, just because I felt like it… I love the skin i’m wearing… it’s from Dutch Touch and it’s hidden somewhere in plain sight… go play findsies! (I had a total heads up from the lovely Sophia >.>)

Arbel’s Get-up 01-26-10

AKA Mass Effect 2 is here and I must put together an outfit in tribute to this awesome game…WHOOHOO!

*Geeks out*

The long awaited sequel is here, and about time! As soon as I’m done with this post. I’m going to the store and pick up my copy…then you will never see me again! But I suppose that’ll be a good situation for some.

So what was I thinking when I put together this outfit? Tight, tight fit, futuristic, quirky, light armor, yet still flexible. So this is what I have:

Mass Effect 2...WHOO!

Arbel's Look 01-26-10

The first piece I thought of wearing was the jacket from the Inferno outfit from BareRose. I LOVE this jacket and fits the theme. It’s militant, the collar and cut gives it that futuristic quality, it’s perfect. Then I thought about the body. I first opted for a full bodysuit, but meh, wasn’t quite right. So I just took the top part of the Dynamic League suit from Nicky Ree and put it over black leggings and a black undershirt. Shoes were a toughie too, then I remembered the red boots I got from MIEL’s the past week, and the colors match the top! Problem solved. To add more to the armor/danger girl factor, I added gloves from the Arachnos Uniform from Ko Industries (The store is still inworld, I couldn’t believe it!)  and the belt from the Opium avatar from The Abyss, a personal favorite as far as accessories go.

What am I forgetting…YES, the hair. Very unique, but so fitting. The Passion hair from DejaVu. I couldn’t find the store for the life of me, so I hope it’s available somewhere, I’m too knackered to go on a thorough search for it. Sorry!

Arbel’s Get-up 01-25-10

What’s black and white and striped all over? Me.

I very much like this look; I love the black and white contrast between the tank top and the shirt and pants. The shoes give it the finishing touch to the casual look. It does give off the Beetlejuice look with the stripes, but not so overdone.

Arbel's Look 01/25/10

Arbel's Look 01/25/10

I have been looking for an open blouse for such a long time, but I finally found it at AOHARU during their 50% off sale. I bought a pack of these shirts which included black, white, pink, and red, in plaid and stripes. Where I live, jackets are too heavy for the weather, even in winter! Seriously, we only had one week of freezing cold, and the rest has been 70 all around. So I’ve always wore a light shirt over another light top. The pants have been in my inventory for a while, from NINIKO. Their striped pants are subtle too, which I like, and I like the cut of the legs even more! Makes it more suitable for my sneakers from HOC Apparel. I love their shoes, so well made and super cheap! It’s been a while since I’ve checked on new releases, but I say they are a great place to go for high quality shoes at a low price.

I decided to go super sleek on my hairstyle from Maitreya. One of the best long and straight hairs I own. The skin is of course from Curio, the Elf line. I just love the nose. I want to pinch it. It’s just extremely cute.

So that’s it! Taxis coming up:

Hair : Maitreya Yasmin Coffee

Skin: Curio :GP: Petal [Light] Elf-Soot 2

Eyes: Exodi Zbilja Eyes (Brown)

Uh OHHHS, I spent too much again!

I couldn’t think of a title, so I figured honesty was the best policy and well you can see.. I SPENT TOO MUCH!  Dammmmmit.

But, it was for a good cause, making me look PRETTEH! Mostly pictures in this post as it’s a quickie, but I urge you to look, love and go demo!

First up is the GORGEOUS new offering from Belleza… meet Alyson:

Belleza - Alyson

Belleza - Alyson

She comes in several tones with 16 makeups each!   The fatpack that I just couldn’t resist only set me back a mere $L7k.  Ok that isn’t a small amount, but I fell so in love with the face that I just HAD to have it, HAD TO!   From the softy softy barely there lips to the smouldering black smokey eyes, Alyson is a total gem, and I LOVE HER! You will totally fall head over heels for her too, once you try the demo :D

Next we have some more Dutch Touch skins, I blogged a sneaky peak earlier in the week, but I went and bought myself both fatpacks of the Sjors skins yesterday (SOMEONE STOP MEEE!).  This time I decided to buy 2 tones that I don’t normally go for, I opted for Cotton for one and Olive for the other.   Sjors has darker brows than Gwen, but I can live with that, cos the faces are just prettttyyyy!  I admit I probably won’t wear the “out there” makeups much, like the purplely one.. but it’s always nice to have it and well.. I am the fatpack queen, after all!

Say Whuuuuuut?

Um…hi!

Arbel Vogel’s the name. Invading my best friend Willis’ blog is the game! I figure that I needed to do something I like in SL lately: put on pretty outfits and showcase them out to the world! Well, I like to do the former, but now I want to do the latter! Thanks to my honeydew skittlesbear sexkitten Willis, I can achieve this goal!

My outfits are pretty much mix and match; something new, something old, or something really, REALLY old, depending on what I have in my inventory. I won’t do a Look of the Day thing, I’ll just do it when I feel like it! This is just something casual, like a sex buddy! Yeah…take that analogy and shove it!

In closing, I would like to thank Willow for her gracious surrender to my demands. She is the best, it takes a great person to put up with someone like me for so long, and I show her my appreciation by feeding her lemons and smacking her ass with the American flag.

Bye for now!

A Sporkful of Sugar!

Alright,  spoonful is the correct term but hey, I like sporks, sue me.

Today is a bit of a mishmash of goodies, so i’ll keep the wafflin’ short’n'sweet!  First of all i’d like to draw your attention to the skins i’m wearing in the pics, they are a sneaky peek of Dutch Touch ::SjORs:: skins and aren’t they just DEEEEELICIOUS?!   There are so many options that come with (brows, freckles, cleavage blah blah blah blah WEEEOWOOO) it’s hard to take your pick, I can’t wait until the full line is ready and stocked for us to buy, CANNOT.BLOODY.WAIT.

So anyway, look at the skins and drooool in anticipation!  In the meantime, let’s have at it with some actual releases

First up is new Truth hair!

Truth - New Hair

Kase 1&2 | Veruca 2 | Veruca | Patrice

There are four styles, and Mr T was in clip mode this week, as most of them come with gorgeous colour change clips!  Kase comes with 2 styles of fringe too, so that’s a double bonus!!   They are all gorgeous (like duh), but I think my fav is a close call between Veruca and Patrice, I love them both so hard!!!  It’s hard not to love every release he makes, so let’s just agree to say I love them all, yes? Ok then.

Next up a new release from Moonshine, a few bits there is, too!

MS - Various

Knit | Carousel | Willow Top & Hobo Jeans

Ok so what do we have?  We have the Knit dress, which does what it says on the tin!  It’s a really short knit style dress with sculpty knit sleeves to boot!   I had a bit of trouble adjusting the skirt, but that’s my own fault for having so much junk in the damn trunk, got there in the end tho :D .  Carousel is a bit of a diff number, it reminds me of a gypsy hobo style look, with hte raggy skirt and dreamy style… Totally gorgeous tho and in various colours that compliment each other gorgeously.   Finally the Willow Long Sleeved Top and Hobo Jeans, which may well be my new fav jeans in SL!   The top comes in oodles of colours, and the jeans in various washes.  I suggest you get to Moonshine RIGHT NOW.

Finally today, a cocktail style dress from Vanitas Vesture!   It’s the Gabby Pearl Dress and again, does what it says on the tin!  Although it doesn’t contain any Gabby, it does contain Pearl!   Yup, it’s a pearl look dress, very simple and elegant and goes gorgeously with the new Truth Hair and DT Skins! YAYYY!  The dress comes in various different colours, below is Chocolate, and good enough to eat, no?.

Vanitas Vesture - Gabby Pearl Dress

I am in love with the face on this, it’s fresh and gorgeous and makes ME look awesome, so it’s win win, and with that pricing, it’s triple win!!!

Iki released her new Gwen skin and it was love at first sight! So much so that I didn’t even bother to Demo, I bought both Fatpacks available in Two of the various tones available!

There is a mix of natural beauty and a few more eclectic makeups, and of course, they are all available as singles too!

Dutch Touch - Gwen - Cream - Fatpack 1

The hair you can see is the Haiti Relief Fun hair from Maitreya, available for just 50L.

Have a great humpday! <3

Helloooo, Saturday!

I took the LOTD pic included in this blog yesterday, but never got around to posting about it, so it’s kinda a HELLOOOO Saturday post but with added 50L Friday!

Firstly, a new hair release from fri.day, well new poses too, which i’m using in the hair pics… but well, they are only pics of my head so you don’t really know wtf is going on, but YAY for hair and poses.

fri - NEW HAIR

Nicole | Nicole.2 | Victoria | Victoria.2

There are 2 styles, both with 2 versions of each, so really 4 styles, I shouldn’t really blog when i’m rambly but OH WELL.   I think my fav of the two are definately the Nicoles!   Nicole is a shoulder length style with a tousled meeting at the back of the head and secured with pins, a really nice boho style that you can buy with or without the texture change hat!    Victoria is a nice longer style, but I had a bit of trouble finding a pose where my boobs didn’t eat the hair, more of a shape issue than a hair or pose one tho >.>.   You can buy Victoria with or without the colour/texture change hat, I think I prefer it without,  mainly because I can’t imagine me dressing up to suit the hat, but you never know!

LOTD... 16.01.10

Haiti 50L Friday

The LOTD..ish today is  a 50L Friday one.   The hair and clothing I picked up whilst doing 50L Friday, and most of the items (and more in the stores) were marked to help the Red Cross with the Haiti fund, so of course I ended up spending a lot!   I particularly love the hair from Clawtooth in the gorgeous Strawberry Cream shade, and the top and sequin vest combo from Fishy Strawberry!

A whole lot worth buying for an even better cause than normal, cheap and charity… that’s what I like to see!

I already donated via the Red Cross page, but was very happy I found a lot of stuff that was marked for charity too, yay people! <3
