Pink & Red does not go together?

Vista, Finesmith EMOtions 001a

There are these days where you feel the little rebel inside you… Many times you get told you cannot do this, you cannot fo that, that does not work, this will never go together and if you have one of those little rebel days you just need to prove them all wrong even by doing mistakes sometimes that you will never admit :p .

Today there was such a day and when I was looking through my inventory more and more the idea of a pink and red styling was growing in my mind.

I anyways wanted to blog the new “AV Straight Leather Jeans” from Vista, so I started out with them, after I saw this fantastic red tone in the HUD. The Jeans come in various versions in different length. Usually you have the problem, that if you would like to wear some cool shoes with mesh pants, you always run into trouble, that they just eat up the shoes or you get some weird flickering if you try to add boots over the pants. With the “AV Straight Leather Jeans” those times are over. 5 different length of the pants make it possible that you can experiment with different shoes or boots. For today’s post I decided to go with the number 2 version, as I found the cool and as well funny “Abdomination Bitey Meaty Boots” from Curio Obscura and the number 2 was the perfect one for the half-long boots.

Vista, Finesmith EMOtions 002a

Dressed with pants and boots.. maybe a little too less :p . What to wear for the top… ? I was sure I wanted to use one of the latest releases from Finesmith, the “Iris” set, but what to wear as a basic as I did not wanna go half-naked. It should be something soft, which does not overload the upper part of the body with the “Iris” set, plus I wanted to have a very soft pink to bring back the baby pink of the “Abdomination Bitey Meaty Boots”. The “Valerie Blouse” from LeeZu was the perfect choice. With the delicate and super amazing detailed texture and the awesome soft pink color it makes a great base for the jewelry.

Because the jewelry had such an amazing and huge headpiece and I was wearing the jeans, which give the whole out fit kinda a cool touch, I wanted to wear some really short, fresh and modern hair. The “Cameron” hair style from EMO-tions exactly looked how I wanted it to for this look.
The reason why I used the grey tone for the hair was, that I wanted to repeat the metal color of the jewelry.

Now the look itself was done but I still missed the little i-dot. Then all of a sudden I remembered the “”Skeletonia” hand jewelry from Formanails. This idea of the skeleton hand wrapped over the avatar hand is something that has a little story to it. Back then before we had Slink hands I always was looking about something new and crazy for accessories. At Formanails I found a skeleton hand, made of prims that covered the back of the hand inspired by Madonna. I was wearing that hand jewelry in forever and ever so often that I nearly cannot count it anymore and I never found something similar. After i upgraded my avatar with the Slink hands I really missed this accessory badly. When I talked the last time to Ivi Bing, owner and designer of Formanails, I told her, that I discovered her store over that wonderful hand accessory years ago, that I really miss it so much with the Slink hands and all of a sudden she sent me over 3 versions of the “Skeletonia”. She made it for 2 different versions of the Slink hands – casual, elegant and elgant1. This so made my day! I have my skeleton hand jewel back in an updated version with a HUD that lets you change the colors of the gems and some more little details like the safety pins and barbwire parts. Thank you Ivi!

And now… Pink & Red does not go together?

News @ LeeZu! – At your side

LeeZu - Sazzy & Wicca 001

News @ LeeZu! Again LeeZu surprised us with an amazing new release – The “Constance Top” and the “Constance Leather Pants”. Both parts are mesh made and you can choose from various colors. The pants are amazing textured with an a wonderful used look leather texture and some cute ruffles at the knee. The “Constance Top” is something really eye catching. The right side of the top look like, as if you would have lost the line over your shoulder and it just fell down. I never saw something like this before as it gives the casual look a really cool and debonair touch. The top as well is again a masterpice when you look closer on the texture. All the shine and lights and folds make it look very realistic. Again I have to admit LeeZu is one of my personal texture goddesses. If you are brave enough you can just skip the top, wich I chose to wear from the “Vera” outfit.

Sazzy as well chose the same combination of the “Constance” top and pants, plus the “Vera” bra but in different colors.

We had so much fun doing the pics and the whole shooting went into a wonderful afternoon at the amazing “All starts with a smile” sim. It has so many wonderful corners and we really had a blast at the playground even if we had a hard time to find some non kissing couple poses :p But we managed to find some, with a lot of laughing, that we could use as best friends too.

Thank you Sazzy for that wonderful time again. I am happy we met and I hope we can have a lot more of those wonderful moments and times 😉

When the daylight’s gone, & you’re on your own
And you need a friend, just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I’ll pull you through, I will understand
And you know that…

I’ll be at your side
There’s no need to worry
Together, we’ll survive
Through the haste & hurry
I’ll be at your side, if you feel like you’re alone
And you’ve nowhere to turn
I’ll be at your side

If life’s standing still, and your soul’s confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes
You can’t let me down
I will still believe
I will turn around
And you know that

I’ll be at your side
There’s no need to worry
Together we’ll survive
Through the haste & hurry
I’ll be at your side
If you feel like you’re alone
And you’ve nowhere to turn
I’ll be at your side

I’ll be at your side
There’s no need to worry
Together we’ll survive
Through the haste & hurry
I’ll be at your side, if you feel like you’re alone
You’ve got somewhere to go
‘coz I’m right there

Styling around a sideboard?

Gothic Lolita 001

Styling around a sideboard or a sideboard as styling accessory?

Yes you read right ;). This time, I wanted to showcase the new “Sophia Sideboard” from Leezu, that wou will find at the Arcade gacha event. The “Sophia Sideboard” is available in 8 different colors and textures  in the closed version like we have it on the pictures. The 2 rares are a dark and white sideboard with open compartments and some clothing hanging out, very cute.

So since I call my blog mainly a fashion blog I usually combine furniture, plants and whatever with some stylings ;).

For today I had a rose tinted sideboard so I wanted to find something matching ;).

As all of you know probably about my pink allergy, I decided to have just a little bit of pink for my look 😉 . Ok.. even maybe more because I wanted to let the sideboard shine and pop out a little more but the first reason sounded better :p .

I am an addicted to the creations of Mila Tatham, so I looked through my SoliDea FoliEs folder until I found the “Caoimhe” dress. This stunning and lovely black  white dress with its pink petals just was what I had in mind. To break the lovely and playfull look, I decided to go heavy on the makeup.

It was kinda fate when Malicia Paython, owner and designer of Silken Moon, showed me one of her releases for the skin fair. It starts tomorrow, the 15th of march, and there you will find the “Go Faster Nun”. The “Go Faster Nun” has different options to wear it. You can wear it as a full with the upperbody connected to  the face in black or you only can wear the facepart. The black mask covers the lower face from the nose down and has a black stripe up between the eyes. To make sure the full versions can be worn with the various avatar enhancements, Silken moon as well offers a Slink applier for the hands and a Lola’s Bra applier for the mesh boobies, if you like to wear them. To add back some sweet and nice I added the “Cherry Blossom” makeup with it’s sweet veins and pink flowers under the left eye.

To add a bit more roughness I wanted to wear the “stp boots” from Death Row Design. I got them longer time ago and never found the right styling to add them. With the black & white striped lower leg it was the perfect addition to the “Caoimhe” dress from SoliDea FoliEs.

To make the look complete I used the “Kat” hair, made by EMO-tions. This special hair style was made for the Kattaca Challenge of  the MVW 2014 for one of the contestants. This wild and extraordianry hairstyle comes with a wonderful painter accessory that you can add if you like. For this post I skipped it as the colors did not match my idea of the black & white with some pink 😉

In Myself – The place to be…

Cyber Chick 002

When words do not matter
When a touch does not reach
When loneliness is a crowd
I move into myself

When friends become strangers
When asskissers get what they want
When no one understands
I stay in myself

When dreams become nightmares
When a start is the end
When nothing has meaning
I am trapped in myself

The Style Icon – Legal Insanity

Style Icon

 Legal Insanity invites you to celebrate legendary style icons from the past to the present by visiting “The Style Icon” Fashion Fair.

We challenged Second Life’s  most celebrated designers to create a collection inspired by   those who have made a mark in their lives, who have inspired them and shaped their fashion   style. Pick up exclusive items inspired by as diverse Style Icons as Vivienne Westwood, Jean  Harlow, Sophia Loren & Jim Morrison all in one beautiful sim.

We look forward to showcasing and presenting these iconic pieces to you as worn by Second Life’s very own fashion icons in two unique fashion shows to be held on the weekend of the 21st February 2014

So,  join us and indulge your own personal style by celebrating the icons that inspire us all!

The Icon Legal Insanity 001

The first outfit I wanna showcase today comes from Legal Insanity. I thought since Legal Insanity is the one who presents the whole event it would be nice to open my series of posts with them ;).

The “Vivienne Punk Gown”, fully mesh made comes i 3 different versions. All 3 have the amazing fabric that immediately reminds you about the UK and Vivienne Westwood, just in different shades. Since I have a fable for Vivienne Westwood, I did not wanna style up this gown just pretty and nice even if it is a wonderful long and tight gown what adds a very feminine touch to every styling.

The “Polly” hair from EMO-tions, just really caught my attention when I was looking through my hair to find the right one. The Polly hair comes with the cute beanie and the scarf as well. With HUD you can change the hair color and as well there is a HUD for the scarf and the beanie.
To give it a little more punk attitude, I added some arm warmers from BC322.  After I added the “Spotty Mix” tattoo from artilleri, I wanted to give it even more Westwood feeling and decided to put the “Red Adore Me!” makeup from LovelyMi and my “Wicca” liner and the amazing “Blue as Steel” lipstick from SIlken Moon.

I remembered the amazing billboards from LeeZu. The were at the Arcade Gachas and the “Dreaming Poster” was just the right addition to my white room 😉

The other Me…

LeeZu - Saphire Gown Mal & Wicca 001

I have seen another sky
I have climbed another tree
I have wished another star,
above another star lit sea

Another me lives another life,
I’ve always dreamed
Another me exists somewhere
Why can’t I live that life there?
Please let me be … the other me

And I have seen another sunrise,
and another lightning storm
I’m not just the me you see
You see another me was born

Another me lives another life,
I’ve always dreamed
Another me exists somewhere
Why can’t I live that life there?
Please let me be … the other me

Somewhere I’m happy
I’m smiled at understood
In another Place I lift my face,
not hide it in a hood

[Lyrics by Jim Sturgess]

LeeZu - Saphire Gown Mal & Wicca 002

First of all I would like to thank Malicia for the time and the base idea for this pictures. She came up with the mirror idea and as well donated her mirror to the shooting 😉

We both wearing the newest gown release of LeeZu. The “Saphire” gown is a fully mesh made gown. It is available in many different colors but for the post we had to choose 2 and so we decided to go with plum for me and black for Malicia. The wonderful shoulder piece is to add single so you can even decide to go with or without it. As well part of the outfit the little hat is. The amazing little hat with the tentacles just adds the little extra elegant and couture touch.

The jewelry I chose to wear is made by Lazuri for the MVW 2014 contest. The “MVW 2014 Eva Luxury” set is an amazing set containing 2 types of earrings, bracelets, rings and a wonderful necklace made of 3 parts wich gives you the option to wear it in 3 different ways. As for all the amazing Lazuri jewelry the set is menu driven and you can recolor all parts to kinda customize the set to your likings and needs.

For the poses we needed some mirrored ones. For a long time I asked myself,why some pose makers made these and the only reason I could think of was, that you carry something in your hand that might be on the wrong side for the pose. But today I discovered, that they can be very useful if you want to do pictures like that as well 😉 So i went with poses from *PosESioN* and Morgane Batista.

The shoot and preparing was fun and I hope Mal will be with me for some more posts in the future 😉 It is rare if you meet people, that you go along so well and SecondLife gifted me a wonderful friend not only in SL anymore. Thank you Mal, for believing in me and being such an amazing friend for me in both worlds 🙂 .

“I’ve done a lot

God knows I’ve tried

To find the truth

I’ve even lied

But all I know

Is down inside

I’m bleeding

And super heroes

Come to feast

To taste the flesh

Not yet deceased

And all I know

Is still the beast

Is feeding.

And crawling on the planets face

Some insects called the human race

Lost in time

And lost in space

And meaning.”
