Soft Pastels

by Juniper on April 28, 2012

Gah, I’ve been so sick lately. My boyfriend gave me an Upper Respiratory Infection and it got complicated with my asthma. I’ve been so sick that even though I’ve spent the better part of the last few days at home from work I had no energy to do much, I’ve been sleeping or coughing my lungs out little by little under the covers (sad faise). A nebulizer treatment and some antibiotics later, I’m feeling slightly better, though I’m still wishing I could sleep all day and week, but that might be just regular ole lazy me speaking. In hopes of redeeming myself from my lack of new goodies in my last post, I bring lots of new items and some freebies in this one. Since this post is JAM-PACKED with awesomeness, let’s cut the sappy crap and jump right in shall we?

Today’s look is by this awesome new hair from Magika, “Flourish”. If you really dig mesh hairs go check out Sabina Gully’s store. Not only is Magika a Second Life staple (when I was a noob I frequented Magika A LOT), she’s grown and changed with the times while still keeping her distinctive style. I love to see how her craftsmanship has developed over the last few years.

And how cute are these mesh shorts from mon tissu!!? They come in lots of different washes and I had a hard time picking just one. I might go back and pick them up in the distressed wash, they all look AMAZING as with anything from mon tissu. PLUS, mon tissu has a new store in Mayfair. Let’s be honest, Lula is lag hell, and I for one am happy to be able to go shopping at mon tissu and not fear of being overtaken by the Lag Monsta (yey, to not lagging!) …  IN OTHER NEWS, The cute floral top is a group gift from C’est La Vie (at their store, wear your group tag), Larcoco always has group gifts and Lucky Boards with the latest items, so its a good join. The necklace from glow studio was a Dressing Room Blue find, but you can find a similar version at their store.

What You See Here:

Hair: Magika – Flourish – Duo Tone (new!)

Skin: Curio :GP: Petal Frex [Light] Pout-Indulged 2

Eyes: Redgrave - Eyes -Azure-

A little BOOM is in my League!

by Natalee on April 9, 2012

A Little BOOM is In My LEAGUE!

Hey everyone! Long time no blog! Sorry I’m SO behind on everything I had a little bit of a chaotic real life and as I’m getting closer and closer to some exciting real life events I’m getting a little more stressed! Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about you all! Just a little less time but I will find time! I will not let you guys down!

So Boom released these totally cute “Comfy Womfy” underwear in a bunch of different colors! Why buy one when you can pair them right? That’s just what I did pairing the Keylime bra with the underwear in pitch! The nice lace detail on the outside and these are totally cute! In fact I’ve been walking around in them since I got them on my platform! BOOM also released a really awesome set of these undies with stripes for Collabor88 which you should all definitely go check out!

What better way to show off my new skin then these underwear right? I have to say, it takes a LOT for me to get a new skin. Normally I refuse to change my shape because I’m so attached to it so unless it looks good, I won’t buy it. My Illusory Paige skin is normally my absolute favorite but League – Jen has stolen my heart! While the Illusory skin makes my avatar look a little younger, I definitely like the more mature look of the Jen skin! I’ll be switching between both I’m sure depending on where I am RPing! Jen comes with a ton of awesome options, make ups, cleavage etc. I even splurged a little and bought the fatback! So hop on over to League today and try a demo!

That’s all for today! Hope to be back tomorrow! Happy Monday!

STYLING;
SKIN; *League* Jen Fair SmokyRose (Cleavage C) Hairbase
EYES; Mayfly – Deep Sky Mesh Eye (Sea Green, w3)
HAIR; !lamb. Frenchie – Honeycomb Ombre
NAILS; * RezIpsa Loc * ~ Slate Gray Nails

Pretty in Purple

by Juniper on April 1, 2012

I bring you a blog post today full of new and sale items. Let’s just right to the good stuff shall well?

I love love love this new dress from Hucci. They’re one of the first designers to go Mesh and they have a huge selection! While their style is a bit more erm, seductive? Than my usual choices, this dress is super cute, I LOVE the colors! I also recommend joining the Hucci group, they give out lots of Gifts. It’s well-worth it! Another great new Mesh item is the new hairs from Lamb, absolutely fantastic! Longer styles like these are so well-suited for Mesh and like always, the quality of Lamb is just superb.

Now onto some sales, as you might’ve guess I love The Dressing Room, and lately their Blue collection has sprung up some great sales. The tights I’m wearing in these pics are from Milk Motion and currently for sale at TDR. I am also loving this skin from Atomic! I’ve always loved how their skins look but never found out that fit my shape, but this one just looks soo pretty! In order to make it a but younger looking I use a blush makeup layer, but on its own it’s still a great skin and only L$70! I encourage you all to check out these sales and new items. Really great stuff out there!

Slipping Into Some Lingerie

by Celeste on March 17, 2012

Hey Guys! Today I decided to slip into something comfortable, as they say. I’m wearing two lovely pieces of lingerie from Epoque. Yes, another Epoque item! I do love me some Epoque, I must say.

Slipping Into Some Lingerie

Epoque’s Distortion Bra and High Waisted Panties are a new addition to the store. I fell in love with the lace running up the front of the panties. I’m truly a sucker for all things lace. I paired the panties with a teal bra, also new from Epoque. Epoque never seems to disappoint!

Spring is A-coming!

by Juniper on March 12, 2012

Today was a GORGEOUS day here in Ohio. We’ve had a pretty mild Winter, so I really shouldn’t be complaining. But the truth is, I grew up in the tropics, I despise the cold and I am tired of the weather being dreadful. I’m looking forward to some greenery and clear blue skies: trips to the park, the outdoor art galleries, food trucks, yeah…! Spring is coming! Woot!

Spring is also arriving in SL, I’ve gone through and changed our Hogwarts sim to early-Spring and I am looking forward to the next few weeks while I start changing things to full bloom. Designers are also in Spring mode, go to this month’s Collabor88 and you’ll find loads of neat stuff for Spring. The hair I’m wearing in these pics is a new release from Dura… its so retro. My avie wears these hairs very well, wish I could in RLs! These pics were taken at EPOCH’s Creators Cafe, created by the lovely Anya Ohmai. Its about to close so get your ass over there and get all the freebie food!! (Oh and admire Anya’s work ofc! Those bistro chairs and tables are to die for!!) Anyways, onto the credits…

Hair: *Dura-Girl*33 (Mocha) (new!)

About Celeste

by admin on March 4, 2012

Meet the Style Minion; Celeste Forwzy

SL Name: Celeste Forwzy
Rez Date: April 21, 2007

About You: I’m a 24 year old Californian who is a tad obsessed with all things Harry Potter. If i’m not chilling with my friends or shopping (of course), I’m rping at the Hogwarts:Your Story sim. I’m a terribly shy person by nature, but once you get to know me, I can talk your ear off.

How would you describe your Style? I think my style is more on the elegant poshy side, although that wasn’t the case a couple years ago (would not like to relive those style mistakes.kthx :P ). I always like to be in heels, they make pixel legs look fabulous! I usually stick to the same Curio skin, I’m a creature of habit.

What is your SL Fashion MUST-HAVE? Heels, always! I do enjoy me some LeLutka weaves too.

Do SL trends have any impact on how you dress? Of course, but I also like to be a little quirky sometimes.

What is your go-to favorite pair of shoes? G-Field’s Alex heel. They are a must have!

What Designer NEVER lets you down with any New Release? Lelutka! When they release new hair, I always end up buying AT LEAST one of the new styles.

What is your favorite and least favorite color to wear? I like to wear a lot of black and white. I’ve taken to wearing green a lot because I’m a Slytherin at H:YS. Least favorite would have to be yellow. It’s just not my first choice.

What accessories are you never seen without? Lashes. I’m kind of crazy about them.

What thing in your inventory could you NOT live without? My Curio skin. I’m ridiculously attached to it. It fits my shape perfectly. Oh, and my PIDIDDLE cheek definition tattoo layer. It’s always on my face.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Week 9 Dandelion!

by Natalee on March 4, 2012

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Week 9 Dandelion! ; ONE

So I’ve learned a lot of new PS tricks thanks to a new friend! I’m really starting to feel more confident in my ability even if I get a little lazy sometimes with my pictures! I try not to over process my pictures for my blog but at least with 52 Weeks of Color and I do one processed and one untouched picture it leaves room for my creativity! I normally am not a fan of the color yellow but lately I’ve been really into it! Dandelion was this week and I was thrilled! I visited Collabor88 earlier this month and nabbed this dress from The Sea Hole called Nausicaa Dress in Pineapple! I really did like the texturing on this dress but I had a very hard time finding a pose that looked suitable for it! It has a system skirt which I have never been a fan of and I was pretty disappointed, but I normally love The Sea Hole’s items and I do like the color of this dress! I feel that I managed to take some nice pictures with it!

Bellballs new line is really amazing! I absolutely love these earrings and they are one of my favorite from the new collection! Elikatira also finally released another new mesh hair! It is beautiful and long on the back! I really love it! But overall today I am out of words and tired! I’ve had a very long blogging day!

I’ll be back tomorrow with another post! ♥
