Styling Studies.

Don'tcha just love it when SL iconic creators relaunch their store in the name of bigger + better things? Fishy Strawberry creator Fae Eriksen has done just that (hence her crazy sale at the end of last year), and as per usual, Fae's new 2014 mesh releases are impeccably detailed + are such a creative fusion of both the girlie + the smex. I always appreciate that the Fishy Strawberry looks are extremely versatile: you can mix 'n match the different pieces so easily, which as fashionistas know, is tres important when trying to find that perfect piece to finish a look. For me, this means that Fae's designs are always a smart buy.

Btw I would be amiss if I didn't mention this free braided crown hair by Truth, which you've hopefully already scoopied from the subscribo (1 of his prettiest gifts yet, which is really saying something, given how nice his previous Xmas gifts have been; plus you get so many hair colors); this dramatic butterfly makeup skin (such a find by Glam Affair) & these utterly fab jewels, new by Baiastice -- all of which I deeply appreciate as total high-impact "statement" items, which for me, are exactly the kind of pieces that make styling perennially fun.

Styling studies love + fashionista kisses to all!

Freckle Face

A certain someone I know kinda has a thing for freckles, and this lovely free freckles skin gift by Bubble is so pretty that I just had to show it you.
Check out the adorable face on this free skin. It's tres innocent + girlish, and the lavendar lip is both unusual + kewl. (I have frex in RL, so I deeply appreciate seeing a heavier freckles effect). I thought this gamine look went so well with the free profile picks gift dress by Designing Nicky Ree -- shimmery, drapey layers of gossamer pink, plus the floral 1-shoulder detail is so lovely (many thanks to my friend Margaux DuFaux for telling about this amazing store long ago!) I have a feeling that this diaphanous number is already gonna make my top 10 for this year.
I luhs the way these flowers curl over the shoulder. The single drape flowing down the back of this dress is so goddess-like too.
These 2-tone pink heels by R2 seemed a 'natch with this outfit.
This free Ohmai bodysuit has already made the freebie blog rounds, but the high-buttie cut was so super smex that I just had to model it here. Like the dress above, this is another 1-shoulder look (also with floral detail) that is both elegant + sexy.
This buttie-friendly bodysuit seemed the perfect vehicle to show you another recent skin fave of mine by Fhang Candy. This store is typically overlooked (admittedly, by myself as well) but I have to say that I'm tres impressed with the "glowy," dewy sheen of this skin. This was one of 2 recent Christmas skin gifts set out in-store (one was $5L and the other $10L; not sure which one this was) but there's a MM board here with a skin similar to this one, plus I believe the store is currently having a massive sale. Isn't it a beauty?

Normally I'm not really a short hair kinda gal, but this free "Jess" style from Truth is a happy exception. The crown height to this asymmetric, modern bob makes all the difference re: the smex factor. Plus the little bobbypins on the side are just the cutest.
Just to show how versatile this awes bodysuit is, I slipped on a black feather miniskirt (a previous gift from Malt)+ a lace-up ties pants layer from 1 of my go-tos for when I just need a black mini, the PixelDolls "Everything" black skirt (this is/was such a steal at the store's ongoing $10L retirement sale).

Btw if you like the first frex skin above, the Bubble store has several other superfun free group gifts, including a pretty hummingbird/daisy chest tattoo + some yummeh "swirl" lollipops (with both hand + mouth attachments) in a color fatpack. (I believe their other location has a trailing above-the-buttie free daisy tattoo as well, which I'll try to find the sLURL for).

Pretty skins + dresses + hair always help the hump day. Love + fashionista kisses to all!
