Natural High

 

Neutral colors, naturally inspired textiles... leathers, suedes, wool and cotton are just some of those featured in today's post. I was impressed by the simplicity of these silhouettes and the richness of the textures that they are made with, easy and comfortable and things you can feel good wearing. Accessories made of wood, bone and feathers add a special earthy touch, but no actual animals were harmed in the creation of this post, a few errant crows however, did have to cooperate for a long day of shooting pictures.

 

The first look is all about the beautiful strapless Awe Dress from Celoe, with a fitted leather bodice and wheat colored skirt. I added the oh-so-long Blake hair from LeLutka, and to round out the look I added some chunky wood and metal jewelry, and the Maitreya Devi boots, that are quickly becoming a staple in my wardrobe. Unfortunately, because I have been away from SL for a while, my inventory is in need of some updating, some of the accessories I am wearing here may no longer be available in SL (see notes at the end of the post), the trade off however, is looking back at some great items that may be 'new' to someone else and are still around to purchase.

 

Nothing has quite the same natural feel as a heathered cotton t-shirt, this one, an exceptional tucked in version from tres blah, is just perfect with the Fanatik leather pencil skirt in a rustic finish, and combination that I stole from Sasy Scarborough when she blogged a similar combination on her blog Sasypants. I went with an edgier look for my hair here, wearing Teeloh from Wasabi Pills, I am wearing it with a normal hairbase instead of the shaved versions that come with the hair, it still has that unique feel without the razor's touch. I loved the look of the Feathers Cape necklace from Glow Studio, the combination of layered chains and a fistful of feathers stands out against such a simple top. The rest of the goodies are from the depths of my inventory, the shell purse from Cachet (Thora Charron) may still be available at LeLutka, the suede SoHo boots are Maitreya, I love the slouchy style with the cute heel.

 

A little more digging and I was able to pull together a fun third look, none of these items are new, or mesh... but they still have the appeal of nature. I started with the feathered skirt from COCO, which lead me to the Salience shoes from Maitreya Gold, the combination of Leather, feathers and beads make these shoes memorable. I added the Bone Feather set from Paper Couture, and relied on an old trick... hand tinting a few of the bone feathers of the necklace to match the accent colors of the shoes, not something I could have done with most mesh accessories available as new releases. The short Corseted Tweed Jacket from The Sea Hole, had just the right amount of shape in the shoulders and sexy details to finish off the look. I am also wearing the Slink Mesh hands again for this post, I am loving working with them and the many interchangeable hand 'expressions' available.

What Your Hands Say

I remember clearly the almost angry cries from the fashion in-crowd when 'Frankenfeet' started to hit the grid. "I'll never wear them!" they proclaimed, and sure enough as time has passed the tables have turned, now the reaction is reserved for when we see our own paddle-like basic avatar feet... "I can't stand to look at them!" we say. The same can be said about mesh hands, for most people they seem like an awkward leap forward, for those of us who have been quietly editing our fat little fingers and pointy wrist bits for the past five years, they are a gift, and the wonderful thing about the ones that Siddean Munro has released at Slink is this... hands communicate in ways our feet never could. A soft relaxed hand, a pointing finger, a rock'n'roll gesture, and so many more, these subtle expressions can change the way our avatar expresses its mood in person and in pictures.

 

I decided to put together a few fashionable looks and play with my new hands, I found them to be wonderful for showing off a costume jewelry ring, or delicately clutch a strand of beads or purse. I started out with the gorgeous Hedda Leather Dress from MichaMi, curve hugging and with perfect details and shading. There is something so wonderful about pretty much everything MichaMi releases, each item is so carefully created, there is no rush of releases week after week, but when Milla (Michinaga) does give us something new, you can bet it will be unique, well-made and the colors chosen with care. To help accent the use of the mesh hands I played with lots of accessories, and a great bag from Veschi, along with the sexy spike healed Lulu shoes from Slink.

 

A perfect example of how well these hands can convey emotion is the soft way they hold the Vyomini Chained Bracelet by Zaara, the mood for this image is introspective and casual, much like the shirt and pants from Emery. The whole thing felt like a very private moment, I was inspired to kick off my flats and pose in the mesh feet (also from Slink). The artworks that serve as the backdrop for this series of images are by Illustrator/Animator, Akira Yoshida, who had a presence in SL a few years back, I purchased these at YUMEJI and they lived on the walls of my SL studio for quite a while. I was reminded of them when I looked at the elegant positions of the Slink hands, so they made their way into my photos.

 

Lastly, I wanted to have a little fun with a sexy skin baring look that manages to remain classy, the little Maitreya top is covered partly by the LeLutka Jacket, and even over the tiny tailored House of Fox shorts and super high Maitreya boots, this girl looks like she is headed to a fun party or club for the night. I love the way my hand is finally able to hold onto that clutch purse without awkwardly having a thumb stuck inside the back of the bag, like it often does with basic SL hands. the texture of the purse compliments the boots well, and I added plenty of silver jewelry to bling out (without any actual bling) this outfit.

 

My review of the Slink Rigged Mesh Hands, I happen to love them. I am sure I will use them often. If you are a blogger, or model, or even if you just love taking pictures of yourself in SL, these are an investment you can afford to make. Please visit Slink to demo the hands and see which ones speak to you. As a side note I'd like to humbly beg Siddean to consider making me some leather gloved versions of these lovely hands, winter will be here soon enough! ...talk to the hands.

Pumpkin Spice

Orange has never been a favorite color, but sometimes I like to shake things up by challenging myself to work with the unfamiliar. I decided to embrace orange and combine it with graphic shapes and prints to create a series of looks that I call Pumpkin Spice.

For my first look I played with the scale of a dot covered outerwear coat by Saikin over tailored shorts by House of Fox, I loved the way the texture of the coat was layered shades of orange, rust and black in multiple dot sizes. The boots are a brand new release from Babette Ultsch over at Kitties Lair, if you have never checked out the footwear she designs you are missing a real treat, her latest are rigged mesh and the perfect fit over my socks by Maitreya.

 

I took advantage of some great orangey accessories, the flower by Mon Tissu was intended for the lapel, but works great in my hair too! I added some pretty pearly jewelry by Donna Flora and grabbed a bag by DDL. Never underestimate the power of a great bag in SL... I can't ever have enough of them!

 

For the second look I fell in love with the graphic print of the Graph It Up babydoll dress, and Flat Cube earrings, both by Maylee Oh from The Secret Store. More great footwear from Kitties Lair here, the Bulldog Booties have a great modern shape and look sassy over socks. Additional accessories here are by Redgrave, a great new watch, Chained Desire in Silver, and some sexy shades called Laurita, both fit in with the simplicity of this traffic stopping ensemble.



Lastly, I classed it up with this sexy mesh June Dress from Celoe, and necklace and earrings by Caroline's, out today at Cinema. The houndstooth booties, Hunter by Gos, add the eyecatching print this outfit needed, worn here with simple black tights, they strike a balance between the bright orange of the dress and the intricate pattern of the boots, neither steal the show. Skins for this post are by League, the Jen skins have great make-ups and lip options, and one of my favorite hairbases that are part of the skin, they made it possible for me to mix and match hair pieces from booN - a collection of bits and pieces, bangs and ponies, that can give you a one of a kind look, I have never regretted buying them.

Call Me Miss Cleo

 

Bright vibrant color and sexy shapes are the theme of the day. Inspired by some of the amazing goodies at the current installation of Collabor88, I pulled out all the stops and glammed it up with some great accessories and fringed hairstyles reminiscent of the diva of all divas, Cleopatra. Sure it is a little early for Halloween, but that doesn't mean we can't sink a little costumed flavor into our style.

 

The first piece of this puzzle was the fun patterned leggings, newly released from Baiastice, they demanded attention and after seeing the lips & lipstick adorned necklaces from Maxi Gossamer (out now at Collabor88) the colors just seemed so perfect. I grabbed a pair of ISON's latest footwear, the shoes have cute laces and a wedge heel, both can be color changed and allowed me to pick up some of the color from the pants, these are another Collabor88 steal. I rounded out the look with an ISON corset top in soft minty green, some pink armbands from an old Emery item, and some crazy long nails for extra drama. Experimenting with SL make-up layers is quickly becoming my new favorite thing, it wasn't long before I found the Cleo eye make-ups from a.e.meth adding in the heavily shaped and super fat fringed Keeley hairstyle by LeLutka, I was ready to climb the pyramids in style!



For my next look I went for more brights, and extended the Cleopatra theme with the Cleo Hair from LeLutka, the Cleo Jewelry from Donna Flora, a set with a wicked high golden collar necklace and a cuff bracelet with attached ring. The mesh leggings by Maitreya offer a couture foot option, so shoes are not neccesary, they add a unique sexy shape to the bottom of the leg. I am also wearing a new skin, I am loving the Jen skins made by Nena Janus at League, she sells the richer lip shade make-up layers, that I have worn with both of these looks, and I am so in love with the bold color options!

Changing Light Bulbs

"Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile;
So ere you find where light in darkness lies,
Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes."

(Love's Labor's Lost Act 1. scene 1)

 

― William Shakespeare

 

 

Sometimes it just takes shedding a new light on things to see what was always there. In the immortal words of Shakespeare, and inspired by Caroline's brand new Shakespeare Cameo Set, a unique choker and earrings set that features the man himself in cameo form, soon to be released at Cinema, I bring you my interpretation of finding new light, new inspiration, and renewing my love of blogging SL Fashion.

 

I start with a look that I never expected to love, but absolutely do, these pants called Tweed Tucked Pants are by Tram, they are an unexpected wool deep-crotch style, complete with stylish darts and knit cuffs. I wore them with the very classy belted  Ava Jacket by Maitreya, a piece that can be worn with pants, skirts and even over some dresses. I can't say enough about the great soft folds of the sleeve and skinny belt, that manages to stay in the perfect spot on your waist because it is a part of the complete jacket. In this case the belt does double duty bringing the eye upward and extending the long look of the waistline created by the pants. Maitreya gets extra credit for the uber gorgeous Devi Boots, shapely booties with laces and sexy tall heels worn here.

 

“Love is heavy and light, bright and dark,

hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake-
its everything except what it is!”

( Romeo and Juliet, Act 1. scene 1)

― William Shakespeare

 

 

Lighting up some older gems I had saved up in my inventory, I started with the satiny and sexy Dotty Basque lingerie from Oh LaLa!, by pairing it with a light as air skirt from Tram, it suddenly becomes a whole new dress (complete with garters and stockings). Accessories like the beautiful eyelet collar (also by Tram) and the Bonnie Boots by Redgrave, are worn with a simple pair of cuffs from an old DE set. The final picture, illuminated and clear, a sexy and sweet 'frock' with fun touches new and old. Exile Hair, with its tremendous array of variety and style, is worn in both of these looks, while the skin is a gatcha treat from PXL, called Gaia Dark and is available now as part of their Gatcha Event.

Pretty. Edgy.

One of the best things about Fashion in Second Life is the seemingly complete lack of rules, sure there are some basic Do's and Don'ts, for example 'do wear things you love' and 'don't wear bling or facelights... ever.', but really the possibilities are endless. When pulling together looks for this blog post, the first of our newly revived blog, I considered how easy it is to match cutting edge fashion with well made basics, and create outfits that are both pretty and edgy.

 

 

I was most impressed by the adorable new Birdie Skirt by The Secret Store, not only is it beautifully rigged and textured, the bird motif is a lovely subtle pattern that makes it easy for people who normally steer clear of prints to wear one. The Secret Store designer Maylee Oh also offers the skirt in solid shades and breathtaking photo skyline prints, each skirt includes a belt with bow detail that can be worn with other outfits as well.

 

For this first look I paired the skirt with the YmreBoots, newly released by Color.Me.H.O.F. (House of Fox), they come in plenty of dark neutrals and vibrant pastel shades, I was drawn to the delicious lavender shade and that became the theme that would run through this entire post. I just love the quilted suede panels, back zippers and black striped wedge heel on these, they are unlike anything I have seen before in SL. I layered on the sheer version of Mon Tissu's ruffle edged shell and 'Take Flight' necklace for an extra hit of femininity and whimsy.

 

 

Next I wanted to slip into the well made Zippered Skinny Jeans from Maitreya, in lavender again, these rigged mesh pants fit like a dream, and small details like the ankle zippers give them such a realistic appeal. I paired it with the silky Amy Blouse from Erratic, its soft flowing blouson effect skims perfectly over your form. I loved the studded flats from Toki Doki in black, and the sexy little Gotzsche City Clutch for that ultimate taste of jet-set rockstar style.

 

 

To round out this fashionable trio of looks I decided to vamp it up in Celoe's Clara Corset and Yasmine Pants, a perfect blend of softly flowing harem style pants against the rigid but oh so sexy construction of this classic leather corset. Slink's new Studded Booties with their high spiked metal heels, and this soft lacy veil made by LaGyo available at Collabor88 demonstrate once again that edgy and pretty are meant to be together. The striking Faith Skins by PXL Creations, with their many edgy eye and lip make-up options, and my hair fetish du jour LeLutka, gave me more than enough options to go with all of these styles.
