Enoying my first few days of my Vacation with [sys] ;)

sys 4

Finally my summer holidays are here – YEAH! Yes, teachers desire vacation as much as students *grins*

6 weeks of mot getting up to early and living my true nature as a night owl again :p

It really does feel nice, if you actually can spend time and just roam around instead of just having 2 to 3 hours to create and work in SecondLife. First I started to unpack a lot of boxes, which came too short over the past few weeks because of the final exams at school and all the events that come for the end of year of school.Β  My first box already had something very cool in it… the new “Ride” outfit from [sys]. The whole outfit contains a bra, shirt, shorts and a wrapped shirt around your waist. There are different color combinations available but each one comes with a HUD to customize it a little more. You get 2 options per HUD for each part.

While I was opening all those boxes that got to me over the last couple of weeks I found one goodie after another, what means, there will be a lot of posts over the next few days o guess ;). Another amazing item, which perfectly matched the “Ride” outfit from [sys.], was the “Equals” tattoo from White Widow. That awesome art piece covers the arms all the way down with flowers in wonderful shadings. Now certainly I needed some cool glasses, which I found at Haysuriza – A place I really love to go if I need some cool, more urban casual looking glasses ;).

The totally awesome hair I am using, certainly comes from one of my favourite hair designers in SL… EMO-tions πŸ˜‰ The “Bernadette” hair does have the perfect touch of smart, urban and casual as well as a lightly rebel look, that I love so much for my more private and urban looking looks πŸ™‚ And now for the jewelry… I know Pris will kill me again – like she always does if I am wearing something “old” that might be not any longer available – but old does not automatically mean bad in my opinion. Sometimes, designs, creations or items do never get old. The look and the skills used to handcrafted them can make them long time goodies. Certainly sometimes weird moving flexies from 2008 might appear old but as well if you take a look at the nowadays designers who use flexible prims again to mix them with new mesh creations… they change in their look and as well improved in their movements. Sometimes it has even a huge plus and adds some kind of uniqueness if you use some of your long time favorites, as they just might add the little extra on your look. Don’t get me wrong I am not saying keep all your old items… but sometimes a few are worth it πŸ˜‰

Saying that, my jewelry for today comes from YS&YS and has quite some years on it’s back in my inventory πŸ˜‰ The “NEW Silver” set with a part flexible earing and the wonderful necklace just made the perfect addition for the look.

In the end I really do believe in a good mixture of new and older items to finalize a look. sometimes those old items even bring back some great memories to a show yu walked, a shooting you had or even from who you got them. With all our run on new releases, do not forget about some things, that might appear old on the first view.. on a second view they can quiet be nice *winks*

EMO-tions – Hair for every Moment of your Second Life

EMO-tions - Rosi

EMO-tions – “Rosie”

Hair is something essential in most of the Second Life residents’ life. Anyways if male or female we all have fun trying new hair and match our hairstyle to different looks, styles and moves. Sometimes it is not even easy to find what you are looking for but Mirja Mills, owner and designer of EMO-tions is a big help with that.

EMO-tions is one of the biggest hair shops in SL and Mirja provides hair styles – male or female – for nearly every occasion!

EMO-tions - Stephanie

EMO-tions – “Stephanie”

Usually we just use hair for our daily posts but rarely put the spotlight on the hair only and that was the idea for this post. I just put on a sleeveless top from LeeZu, one of my favourite clothing designers and changed the hair only to really put all the focus on the hair. I really think, that making hair is a hell of a job… all this little parts, wisps, bangs and what ever it takes to make a realistic hairstyle and that is why I wanted to do this special hair post πŸ˜‰

EMO-tions - Kessie

EMO-tions – “Kessie”

EMO-tions offers such a great variety of hair… long, middle long, short, curled, straight… nearly everything what you can imagine.

With the new HUD, EMO-tions added a lot more colors and shades. The colors are parts in 5 categories – Blonde, Red, Brunette, Black/White and Pastel. Each of that categories has one HUD with 10 different colors or shades of the category. In the pastels HUD you will find as well some of the non usual hair colors like pink, mint or blue.

EMO-tions - Liliah

EMO-tions – “Lilah”

For todays post, I decided to go with the blonde tone, just because I did a red one last time and I am wearing blonde at the moment the most πŸ˜‰

EMO-tions does not only hairstyles for the every day look, Mirja as well makes amazing fantasy and role play hair. Like the “Cersei” hair style, which was made for an event that asked for ‘Game of Thrones inspired designs. I totally can see the “Cersei” hair on medieval or fantasy looks as well.

EMO-tions does not only do hair. You will find as well outfits and jewelry. With that skills it is no surprise, that besides ‘normal’ hair we s well kind find specials that are decorated with wonderful ornaments, jewelry, horns, chains or flowers.

For example the “Lona” hair style. Such a cute and sweet idea, to put some daisy flowers around the head like a wreath πŸ™‚ Isn’t that the perfect style for the actual summer season?

Last but not least I would like to showcase one of the latest releases of EMO-tions for the On9 event. The event started at the 9th of August and will last until round about a month. The “Yve” hair is a shoulder long and lightly wavy style. With the amazing wisps it gives a very young, modern and smart look πŸ˜‰ . “Yve” comes in 2 sizes as it is a unisex hair style for male and female!

Make sure to stop by at the EMO-tions Main Store, to see all of the amazing releases and new releases!

New at Diram – Arrogance arrived in the Store!

After I am back from 2 weeks of being in hospital and could not access the internet, I am happy to be back on track now πŸ™‚

Today I have the pleasure to show you the first outfit I got from the new Arrogance line made by Diram. Again djod Karu shows her amazing skills if it comes to the extraordinary way of designing delicate outfits for females. Young, fresh , smart and sexy, that and much more her clothing lines show.

Today I want to take a closer look on the “Angie Dress”

The combination black and gold is usually a very elegant one as we can see here as well. But Diram would not be Diram if she just would be satisfied with ‘elegance only’. “Angie” is a little piece of art. The dress it self is a firework of different parts and materials that show how various black can be.

The filigree parts as the skirt and the fantastic chest part of the right side add a very special and extravagant touch. The golden button that decorates the belly is repeated on this great golden mask that covers half of the face.

The limited edition of the Finesmith Designs jewelry named “Valeria Inspiration Set” , for me was the perfect choice for the accessories. The long and filigree beams that look like the beams of the sun in gold perfectly matches the awesome flexiprims of the dress.

This is only one of way more new outfits of the new “Arrogance” line made by Diram. I will show you more for sure, but of you cannot wait make your way to the Diram Mainstore and take a look by yourself πŸ™‚
