Arcade Fever: Devil May Care.

Today's look was inspired by new piglet friend Lucifur, who not only goaded me into spending all my $L at the newest round of The Arcade, but even got me to reveal my super-secret "Burn Book" (I did manage to stow it away hastily in my bag afterwards). -- Yep, that book's got all the names of those foolish souls who've dared to cross me! Still, I knew I could trust Lucifur to inflict his own special powers of piggie justice on them.
Actually, all Lucifur ended up inflicting was pain on his own behind, when his sister, Angelica, decided to rather enthusiastically test out this sky-colored 2-seater scooter. -- Between the 2 of them, Angelica tends to usually get her way; plus as everybody knows, piggies can't drive.
Devil may care love + fashionista kisses to all!

Urban Minimalism.

So here's what's up with these new wide-leg mesh pants by Boom: the buttie jiggles. Creator Aranel Ah has cleverly rigged the rear area to move with your avi, so once you slip these on + walk, you may just find yourself utterly, fascinatingly, eyes-glued-to-the-screen mesmerized by -- your own ass. A fun yet supersmex idea, if you ask me!
The rest of this look combines this wide pant leg with a draped 1-shoulder top for a minimal yet romantic look, built in shades of gray and black. The newest full-body tat by The Plastik offered the primary bodily adornment; a parted-lips gloss by Pididdle added a subtle petal color.

Fall just around the corner means more minimalist looks in my RL too. Urban minimalism love + fashionista kisses to all!

A SLexy Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I finished wrapping gifts (unexpectedly) early tonight, so I wanted to send all of our SLexy readers + bloggeristas some holiday cheer with this (admittedly rather boring) Xmas card. Hope everyone overeats, overdrinks + over-merries themselves today! It's the holidays, after all; a li'l over-indulgence is as staunch an American tradition as, well, getting completely zonged in front of your family + letting it all hang out, in the most shameless way. You know how that goes.
Btw this is the free Laq skin that's been plowing the feeds; I wanted a crimson lip here, so I changed the look of it by adding a toothy gloss by Pididdle, which I paired with this $77L space cadet-rounds cherry-hued necklace, rings & nails set by Mandala that's also been making the rounds. Plus I'm not showing it here, but I also scoopied the free superluxe fur muffler (you get 3 colors) + free light red strappy boots over at Aoharu to go with this look (buy the women's gift near the landing point for $0L to get both in the same gift) + the absolutely adorables bowtie leggings by Le Poppycock that are newly free (I took a styling shot to show y'all the black bowties version, but Xmas cookies induced major food coma tonight; see the Styling Credits below for more free holiday goodies).

Holiday cookies for everyone! Merry Christmas love + fashionista kisses to all!

Bonne Anniversaire A Chic!

SL years can be like dog years in that for no reason whatsoever, something simple often requires a hellluva lot o' effort to actually pull off. -- Mah girl Keira Seerose & co. have been organizing their CHIC Management events for over a year now, no small fait accompli in SL; not only for the amount of effort behind the yummy fashion always so reliably delivered, but as a working testament to how designers + bloggers work even better together. *mwuahs Keira, Pru, Kristy, Cat + all of the CHIC Management team*
A gangload of designers have set out special designs to celebrate CHIC's 1st year. I'm sure you'll see more of these goodies thruout the week, but I was inspired today to do a casual rock vibe via the fabby gold guitar (!) by Di's Opera. This pretty tan skin is new by Mynerva + I must note that these white-rimmed "Daisy" eyes are soooo striking, 'specially against tan skin tones.
This white angel back tat + my zebra heels are free; everything else (including this lace-up back corset top by Khush) you can scoopie at the CH1C birthday shopping event.

Sticking with it for a year love + fashionista kisses to all!

Meet Kianna

Mynerva skins were all over the feeds last year, and for good reason: creator Rhapzody Wilde's lush, glowy, youthful faces quickly captured many a skin whore's heart like moi. We've all been waiting to see what Rhapzody would come up with next, and I'm tres excited to show you a sneak peek at "Kianna," which retains all the oh-so-natural quality of Rhapzody's previous skins, but adds that certain knowing look -- like an older sister who's now ready to misbehave (translation: we finally get the smoky eye makeups I've been dying for in this brand!) I'm also a sucker for the utterly smex play of smudged eyes against a soft, neutral lip.
The "Raven" series offers a razor-sharp pen eyeliner makeup, which is so striking against this clean, luminous face.
Here's the soft, glowy Mynerva body, which I'm showing with this month's free pink ballerina slippers by Indie Rose + some cutie patootie heart panties + $10L socks.
Look for "Kianna" at Skin Fair 2011, which kicks off this Sunday (be on the lookout for more Mynerva newness there too).

Huge *mwuahs* to Rhapzody Wilde for so graciously letting me show you her newest face. Skin whore love + fashionista kisses to all!

Pumpkin

Another Seasons Hunt post to show you this striking free cashmere sweater from Arai, which hasn't received much coverage (likely 'cuz it was so friggin' difficult to find). To me, this retro print totally channels some abstract Mondrian. *drools*
A pretty free leaf pendant by Scribble, some free sheer leggings by Amato (this store has lots o' cute freebie things) + a lovely new windswept, wavy "Kelsey" hair from Truth finished this pumpkin-toned look. *mwuahs Truth Hawks*

Springtime at the Albero Art Fair

The Art Fair kicked off today at the adorable Albero SIM, which always seems to be hosting whatever current celebration of Le Kyoot is happening on the grid. This Art Fair is so great for taking a lazy weekend stroll, and springtime is everywhere here -- from the knee-high lawns of green grass to pretty daffodils + wooden art easels strewn everywhere you look.
I'm wearing a smexeh 1-shoulder creation by Eboni Khan for Hucci with my fave ripped Fishy Strawberry fishnets. The vibrant buttercup yellow color of this dress just felt too perfect with all the blooming daffodils here.
This Grecian flowy shoulder attachment that trails down the back is just like the Hucci aesthetic: feminine but still modern and clean, with not too many frills + a whole lotta smex. *mwuahs Eboni*
I've been a fan of the 2Real sneaker line ever since creator 2Real Okelli debuted his "Pro_Spec" line some months back. His new "Pure" shoe is, if possible, even better: check out the meticulous leather + suede texturing on various parts of this shoe.
These sneaks come with a very precise HUD where you can color customize every conceivable part of this shoe (including the sole, laces, tongue underneath the laces, toe pad, + even the teeny tiny ribbing running around the top). *mwuahs 2Real Okelli*

ZOMG does all this high culture gimme a headache. Do you see how this here froggie is totally snubbing me? Sheesh.
Giant squashy paint tubes make squirty messes here too. Luckily, nobody seems to mind in the slightest.
As I was shooting this post, the new Tuli group gift came in + I just had to show y'all. It's a "Gem" exclusive makeup for her "Eva" line (the same line I am wearing here) that's not available for purchase in-store. You get 7 skin tones in this gift (from pale to dark); this frosted seaweed green eye makeup + pink-nude lip is the same makeup in each tone.
What I particularly like about this face is its innocent-yet-smexeh look, making the $250L join fee is so so worth it (especially considering that a single makeup is priced at $1000L). *mwuahs Tuli Asturias*

O joy, it's le weekend (+ spring)! Love + fashionista kisses to all!

Gray for Spring

I keep finding pieces in the DeeTalez hunt that I just can't help but build looks around. These tailored charcoal gray shorts (which I nearly overlooked since they were a men's gift) were a great reminder of why this often-overlooked neutral color is such an awes way to go casual cool.
This lovely matte shine gray vest comes from a whole outfit available from a MM board at Nanashi & Yesss Designs that's just giving this look away for free when you click it (I have no idea how long this free-for-all is lasting, but it comes with a cute chocolate brown bolero jacket too).
My skin is another Tres Blah find at Melt (love the dark brows on this one) + this retro '20s blonde hairstyle, complete with petite angled bobbypins, is a former Atomic sale scoop that I was so psyched to have remembered for this look.
I was just starting to shoot when creator Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora dropped her newest jewels on me, which were the loveliest gem compliment to these gray tones. These brand-new, smoky purple "Arturo" amethyst pieces are crammed full of all the usual supercrazy Donna Flora details, like these teeny tiny diamond butterlies trailing up these hanging chain links. -- Take it from this RL jewelry designer: these would be a bitch and a half to create in RL.
Here's the matching necklace. Scroll down to the Styling Credits for the ring, too.Btw all of these too cool for school poses are totally free, courtesy of the lovely Brutus Martinek of Pididdle. *mwuahs Brutus*
Finally I gotta give a huge shout to mah girl Dancer Dallagio at Stiletto Moody, who keeps hookin' me up with couture beauties for my feets. These light gray pointed-toe pumps with baby pink ties added a spot-on girlish yet sophistiated touch for this uptown spring look. *mwuahs Dancer*
So psyched that springtime is just around the corner. Love + fashionista kisses to all!
