LOTD 06/16/2014 – A lazy afternoon with Miamai

Miamai FFL 2014 01

Sometimes in a few rare moments I like to explore the wonderful sim built by SL residents. Mostly it is on a sunday afternoon when I come home from gigs with my RL band and do not feel like working at all ;).

Sometimes I am in the mood for finding new places, wich I can use as background for pictures and sometimes I just go back to wonderful sims I saw in the past to see if they changed something there and if there is anything new.

One of the most beautiful and most popular sim is the Neva River sim.

If you wander over the sim you will find several places who are kinda locked as they are private residential but a fe spots you can explore as the owner is kind enough to let us roam around there 😉 .

If I go there I always make sure I do not disturb the residents there as I am just a grateful guest there.

For my today’s journey I was wearing one of the latest releases of Miamai. The “Dalida” dress is an awesome long shirt with kinda a bottom short skirt part. It is available in various patterns and textures and I chose the black version for today. The hat/hair combination “Happydays Wicker Hat” as well is made by Miamai. I really like it if you have hair and hat connected already, as it usually is a pain in the ass to get hair fixed under a hat :p .

The boots became on of my favourites lately. With that boots I discovered a new store that I now visit frequently to check if they have news since they have that little special twist, wich I always search for my clothing. Dirty Princess is the new place to be for me if I am looking for shows or something else lightly funky.

To complete the look and add a touch of the summer feeling that I have lately with the weather in germany, I used the “Oversized Sunglasses” from Izzie’s.

And now… I will wander around across this wonderful Neva River sim a little bit more to explore all the amazing details 🙂 .

At this point I really need to say a few words. Usually for events I keep it to the facts, but for this creations there is a wonderful artistic background. Trinity Yazimoto, owner and designer behind Petite Chat (*PC*), is a wonderful artist. She tries to bring her art to her clothing. Like you can see in the first picture, to nearly every dress there is a painted picture as a base. I talked to her about it – she really is a wonderful and kind lady –  and she told me about how difficult it is to apply the painted art to the mesh prims. Mesh reacts very weird to some textures, so you can imagine how long it takes Trinity until the actual picture shows perfect on the designs! I will try to make another post in the near future where I can spotlight this amazing creations a little more 😉 .

News from [sys] – Futuristic Mood

sys001

If you are in a spacey, cyber or future mood what else than sys and Zibska you can use to think about a styling 😉

I totally fell in love with one of the latest releases of sys called “Exes”. The ensamble contains a wonderful sexy corset and a short skirt. The combination of the black base and the light blue applications caught my attention as i like this color combination a lot.

sys002

For those who know me for a while, you know that I never can have something stand alone and that I love to mix and match different designers and sometimes even different styles to create a new look. The “Exes” outfit already was a great start, but I wanted to add some more and so I remebered the “Sybella Noir” dress from Zibska, that I got at the SAVIAD fasion fair. The collar and the cuffs just were perfect to brake the more minaimal looking corset and skirt and added something different and strange to it with the pretty flowers in that very stong and dark black. Now I needed some hair that again would not be too elegant, but as well looks nottoo boring as well. I have to admit, I was wering that hair a lot lately and it became kinda a all time favourite of mine. The “Kat” hairstyle from EMO-tions would be soemthing I would LOVE to try RL on stage with the band as well 😉 .

Now for a female’s worst nightmare… shoes…

Do you know that feeling if you open your closed RL or your inventory SL, even if you have about 150 or more pair of shoes you still think that you have no shoes?

So it was with this styling too. I was trying several of my shoes and some was like … ‘ok’, but nothing really jumped into my eyes. All of a sudden I remebered, that I bought some shoes for slink feet lately on Marketplace, wich I not yet did unpack or sort into my shoe folder.

Welcome to my second nighmare… how those shoes were called and where in my overfilled object folder they are…

“Gladiator Couture Princess Boots”!!!

Yes! Something with Gladiator it was and thank god the inventory search was nice enough to work! Those mesh boots are made for the high version of the Slink feet and it comes in 2 different versions. One materials version for SL and Firestorm users, wich shows a subtile reflection on the shoes if you are able to turn your graphics up to advanced lightning and as well another version for all of those who either use another viewer or cannot pull up the graphics so high. For this post I used the no materials version, as the reflection of the boots nearly let them shine blue and I wanted the dark black to my styling.

Last but not least I looked though my makeup folder. I did not want too much but as well the whole look kinda requested something. So I decided to go with the “Zion” makeup from Nuuna and one of my Wicca lipsticks from Silken Moon wich is tinatable so I could make my own color to match the look.
