Got Skills?

 

Close to ten years of blog posts and I am still not sure if my shots are up to par. I have, however, honed my talents of balancing atop super high platforms, walking in tall stilettos, matching my accessories and multitasking. Just take a look at me today, shooting pictures for my blog, eating a sweet snack, and... Oops! Scratch that, talent is overrated anyhow. I can spend my Linden dollars with great skill though, trust me.

Primary Education

Yes, another round of Collabor88 has begun, and no doubt it will be tough rezzing and TPing for a little while... but what better time to take a quick look at some great things you may have missed during the last round, which should be showing up in these designers' main stores shortly.

 

This look started with the shoes from Milk Motion, add-ons for my beloved Slink feet, are all disco heaven with glitter and velvet platforms. The satiny and soft Emery silk dress with elbow length sleeves is sassy and bright in tomato red. I love the play of primary colors in the dress, shoes and accessories. There is something so simple about the contrast between warm and cool, a classic combination that is elevated with the great accessories from LaGyo.

 

The hair is from Exile, another great rigged mesh style from the new collection of HUD controlled color change goodness, the skin... the very delicious Candy from Glam Affair, these items can be found at The Arcade via gatcha. Manicures for fingers and toes are from Flair, it is always so much fun matching my outfits from this generous collection of colors and patterns.  Hope you enjoy another great month of Linden gobbling fun at Collabor88 and The Arcade!

Sweet Cravings

It is time for another fix! So many great new things to shop for this weekend, here are just a few with a hint of candy bright color. So many surprising and delicious combinations from the latest releases by Celoe, Maitreya, Mon Tissu and Emery. I couldn't decide on just one look, so I went for a trio of yumminess... hope you enjoy!

 

Celoe has just released part one of its Fall 2012 Collection, It is full of great coats, tops, pants, and dresses, some surprising and well made shapes that will be hard for anyone to resist. Case in point the surprising little bubble top/mini, Coco, such a sexy decolletage area with its slender bodice all coming to a dramatic bubble of a skirt. I love the scrolling organic print and satiny texture, this can be worn as a short dress or over slacks like I have done here. The pants also from Celoe are called Chardonnay. The Maitreya Suave Wedges are glued to my feet once again, the great Cognac color compliments the look, and other chocolaty touches like the Maxi Gossamer necklace and hair bow by TokiD sweeten this already tasty look.

Ready for another helping? So many bright colors in this ensemble, the mesh blazer by Emery and Mon Tissu cotton pants, right down to the pink socks in my Maitreya Wedges... and did I mention the perfectly matching clutch from Magic Nook... you had to know I'd include at least one clutch in this post. The sweet Wasabi Pills Christy style with its color changing bow, and sugary bubblegum lipstick from League make it easy to add a spoonful of sugar to this outfit.

The Maru jacket from Celoe manages to sit perfectly over the Emery skirt in my third helping, just look at how that metallic buckle on the jacket matches the sunny orange shade in the Mondrian grid skirt, the color is echoed again in the accessory flower of the Demeter hair style from LeLutka. The pinkish hue of the Suave Wedges in Raspberry add the final fruity touch to this last look, and the Jewelled Love necklace from Maxi Gossamer is a perfect compliment to my love of sweets. Be sure and brush your teeth after reading this post, wouldn't want you to get any cavities!

For all the details from Head to Toes please see below.

Get Fameshed

Talk about having to be On Your Toes! So many great new things this week, I need a few more of me just to keep up. But FaMESHed re-opened last night in a new location, with a great open new build, and I just couldn't resist having a little 'me-me-me' time today, pulling together a few looks peppered with the newness and worn with the also newly released Suave Wedges from Maitreya.

 

I am such a sucker for anything leather from Fanatik, after falling in love with their minis and pencil skirts I was so excited to see the Leather & Lace Dress, worn here in Nude, a sleek fitted dress, with a cleverly designed back zipper (an inverted pleat), that reduces the distortion of the mesh . The touch of lace on the small cap sleeves adds a sophistocated touch, and the new Collide style from exile was the perfect topper for this look. Accessories that made the cut are hammered silver hoops from Mandala, silver watch from Redgrave and ladylike clutch from ORTA. For the finale to this vanilla sweet perfection I added the Suave Wedges in Pearl on a layered wood sole, from Maitreya, these are really perfect and come in rigged and unrigged versions.

The Secret Store brings us more of its delightful separates with the FaMESHed release of its Sweet Sheer Tops, just the righ amount of soft sheerness over solid color and accent ruffled collar with skinny bow tie. This tucked top that suits high waisted style bottoms, like these trousers from ISON, also show off the socked version of the Maitreya Suave Wedges in White, the zebra-like wood sole on this pair brings the graphic combination of pink, black and white all together. The mane event here is the new Wasabi Pills style, Amelie, with its wide headband and retro feel. Such a fun style!

 

Finally, it was the flamingo pink hued Ombre Hemingway Shirt from Emery, and the cute denim mini from tee*fy, that rounded out this trio of looks. The curvy shape of the skirt is all sorts of fantastic! I added the FaMESHed released boho jewelry from Maxi Gossamer, the customizable color combinations (shown here with red & slate), worked like a charm. Back to my addiction to clutch purses, this artistic design from Handverk, the Palette Purse in Rose, and the neat twist here is the Maitreya Suave Wedges are in Ash Green, which really work well as a denim stand-in!

 

Have fun shopping at the current round of FaMESHed and be sure to check out all the new Maitreya offerings too! For the complete details from 'Head to Toes' see below.

 

Comfort & Color

Fall is one of those magical times of year when pretty much any color palate can be acceptable, the last of the late summer pastels, the rich and bright colors of autumn, and the muted shades of winter are all fair game. With the mega release of comfy casuals at Maitreya this week, I decided to kick off my fashionista tendencies and lounge around in some of what are easily among the cutest drawstring pants, sweatshirt dresses and simple sweaters that you'll have to pry off of me for the next little while.

 

I took these photos in my very simple skybox setting, and really just took quick snapshots of the looks because they really don't need any of the fancy extras. With the majority of the items coming from Maitreya, the Lux Sweaters, Stefani Pants and Milia Sweater Dresses, I also added a new top from Emery, and some great complimentary footwear from Zaara, TokiD, Maitreya and Kitties Lair.
 

 

Accessories were kept to a minimum, all part of my clever casual style, but regardless of what I chose to wear it plays into a general colorful theme that matches whatever else I had on. The sweet fresh faced skins are League Jen and the hair by DeLa and LeLutka are favorites too. All the other notes from Head to Toes are included below. Stay comfy!
