How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about.
[Philip Treacy]
Do you know the feeling if you get something to blog and it even comes from a long time friend? Exactly that happened to me with Spartin Parx. Spartin and me go way back and I even remember one of our first shoots. The more I got excited when I saw the box with her name on it π When I opened the box, I found 2 amazing hats in there and you all know how much I do love extraordinary, huge headpieces :p
I wanted to give each hat the spotlight that it deserves and that is why I only will have one of the hats for today π
The “Izumi Kasa” hat was my first choice as it instantly gave me a vision for a picture.
The huge hat covers most of your head and face and a long lace hangs down from your chin. A HUD provides you many options for the top of the hat and as well for the huge round part with different colors and patterns.
What else you can wear to such a great hat than a little bot of nothing?*grins*
But if it is a little bot of nothing, it has to be a great one π The amazing detailed harness from Salt & Pepper is a perfect example how strong little things can be. Together with a bra from Devious Mind and sexy panties from Opium’s addiction it makes the perfect outfit for the huge hat.
To get even more focus on the hat and the shoes, I decided to go with a black and red contrast. I love to have a single color to pop out and red against black is something that is not very rare, but it always works π
The cool shoes I am wearing are from UTOPIA@Design. Elisabetta Hyun never stops to surprise me with her shoe designs. Always when you think THAT is the best shoe I ever saw, her next release tops it again. Exactly that happened with the “Zafira” boots again. The cool front, which is highly decorated with straps and buckles gives a wonderful opposite to the clean backside.
The shoes have the awesome HUD, that comes with all the UTOPIA@Design shoes. With 9 presets you can have a quick fit and with the Multi texture HUD you can change several parts of the boots. The special again are the 5 different glossiness levels you can choose from if you have advanced lightning enabled. The boots come with fits for Maitreya, both Slink and all 3 Belleza sizes.
It is really interesting to base styles on certain accessories – It always feels like an adventure, where I never know what I will end up with when I start it π You really should try that sometimes – just pick one accessory that you stuck to and see what happens if you add certain things π
