Black Friday Sassy

December 2, 2016

Honestly, this outfit was meant more for the club than a stroll in the country…but, it’s a virtual world. My heels won’t be sinking in the dirt unless my hover height is set way off!

I hit the Black Friday sales last weekend with moderate restraint I guess. I mostly took advantage of the furniture store sales at Aria, The Loft, and gift card sales at Cheeky Pea and Trompe Loeil. For clothing I made sure to stop at ISON, where I purchased the black lace bralette and jeans, and Rowne, where I stumbled upon this sassy cropped blazer. Those two stores are becoming higher and higher on my favorites list!

While I was styling this outfit, I realized I couldn’t really find the perfect pair of shoes in my inventory (imagine that) so my last Black Friday stop was at Reign to grab the Chelsea Heels. Love them!

I also love Black Friday in SL! 🙂

What were some of your Black Friday purchases?

It’s MeMe Time!

March 20, 2013

I have honestly never done a meme before. I didn’t even know what meme meant until recently! Maybe I am just behind on the times with internet lingo, but I digress. I thought this seemed like a fun thing to post. It was a post theme started recently by Strawberry Singh on her blog. If you want to do the MeMe too, simply copy and paste the following questions and answer them with responses pertaining to your own Second Life!

I will add better style credits later…

What is the rez date for your current SL Avatar that you use most often? India Nadeau, March 26th, 2008
Where was the first place you made friends as a newb and got to know people in Second Life? The first place I remember meeting and befriending people was a club called “Millionaires.” That club was where I obtained my very first SL job. Most of us were part of the regular crowd there, and it was really a laid back and fun atmosphere. I sometimes really miss those days and those people. Those were the days of exciting exploration of the unknown in SL, and having a laugh. I hope everyone I had known there are doing wonderful, wherever they all may be!
Where do you spend most of your SL time now? My house that I have with my partner.
Who is your closest friend in Second Life? (only pick one) My partner, Zaap Nirvana.
What is the most favorite thing in your inventory? (only pick one) Umm, it varies weekly. Haha. Right now it is my Amberly skin from Glam Affair.
The last thing you purchased in Second Life? Wedge sneakers from Gizza.
What color clothing does your avatar wear most often? I think I mix it up pretty well…
Do you prefer to walk, run or fly? I normally walk unless I am at some kind of large fair or something.
What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in SL? Hmmm, it involves some prims. 🙂
Who would you like to play YOU, in the movie of your SLife? An actress with some spunk, a sharp wit (but not too sharp), a sarcastic sense of humor, and a good heart.

Structured Style

February 9, 2013

I have been wearing this outfit in Second Life for over a month now…because I didn’t want to do my pixel laundry. Just kidding! Really though, I seriously have been wearing this Michami Lana Brocade Cocktail Dress for that long. I have wanted to blog this dress since it came out. I haven’t been in SL much in the past month, mainly due to illness, partially due to not feeling creative, and somewhat to do with not feeling like the photos I was trying to capture were doing these items any justice as to how pretty they are.

Starting with the dress…I think the structure is one of the best things about it. It offers a lovely modern contrast to more of an intricate, rich, vintage feel texture. It looks elegant and classy.

The heels were a more recent purchase. Gos turned up the heat in the mesh shoe realm with an entire new line of sexy, sassy, glamorous footwear with an amazing skin matching HUD. Trust me ladies, skin matching is easier than ever before with these beauties because it works in conjunction with a website that lists skins from SL’s most popular skin brands. Achieving the perfect foot color is as simple as selecting your skin from a list and syncing the HUD after you have chosen. You may then save your commonly used skin tones to the HUD. For any skins not listed in the website database, manual shade matching is still an option.

Please note, in the above photo there is something funky going on with the ankle shading right under where you can see the skin of the mesh meet my skin. While I have edited certain things in these pics (applied an action, added some lens blur, smoothed some sharp edges), I did not edit this glitch out in order to show the shoes clearly. I believe the shading in the photo may have occurred because I may have worn a pair of the heels that was a size too small, and I could not get the large ones to rez at the time of the photo and became impatient (my other ankle looks great). The larger pair does not have a noticeable line like this inworld for me.

So, I believe that the little line there is blogger error and the fact I was using a smaller size. Oopsies. Anyway, I so love the way these shoes look. Plus, I don’t have to fight with trying to match my skin tone!

Like…Totally…Dressing Like I’m from Clueless

November 11, 2012

Alright, I have a feeling my thoughts may be a bit all over the place in my blog here, but eh…I like random so here goes.

I have been wearing this ensemble in Second Life for days because I have been meaning to blog it. The little dress reminded me of something Alicia Silverstone wore in the movie Clueless, and since it is one of those movies on my list of those that I never get tired of…I had to have it. It was designed by Cracked Mirror for the November FaMeshed.

The hair, also from FaMeshed and made by Wasabi Pills, was really right on the money with the overall look. I love the texture change headband. It added to that preppy type look. What is not so preppy is the fishnets from Erratic, and the shiny black boots from Gos. I guess…this is more like preppy/dom?

I totally had to stop mid post to fix the lines I missed in the above image. I apparently wasn’t being observant in Photoshop…oops. Can’t LL do something to eliminate that glitch by now? Ugh. Anyway, I digress…

One thing I really wanted to mention in this post was about an upcoming event called Unhinged. I haven’t blogged an event for quite sometime, and to be honest, the logo was what initially attracted my attention. There is a really cool skull on it. It made me curious and upon reading the event info, I signed up for the blogger list last minute. If I would have known earlier, I would have tried making something for it. It says it is a gatcha festival for the head of Eku Zhong, the talented creator behind the wonderful pieces at Culprit.

For the head of Eku Zhong? Yes. That is right. It sounds strange to put it in those terms, but that is what it says on the event blog. Without getting too medical jargon-y here, it is a benefit to help assist with costs for a surgical implant to structurally reinforce a part of her skull that has become fragile. Please see the Unhinged blog for the full story, as I cannot do it justice here. The event is still looking for entertainment and people who would like to be involved, so you can check the blog out for that information as well.

I really love to see the beauty of humanity when SL residents come together to aid one person because the community cares or admires that person. It is nice to know that in a virtual world, we can connect and help others–albeit it may only be in a small way.
