M.O.C.K-ing Is Not a Bad Thing!

You have to love the tattoo layer. It opens up so many more avenues when it comes to skin and hair and more. I have been part of the M.O.C.K cosmetic group for a few months now. Mocksoup Graves does charge a small fee to join, but her generosity of gifts makes it more then worth it.

Today in Group Chat she mentioned that she has a couple of eyelash tattoos. In the 4 years in SL I have worn prim lashes, but adjusting them is so time consuming if you want to have a different lash look.

I immediately TP'd over to the store to check them out.

Currently she has 2 styles, Pandora and Victorina. Each has a Noir and one that you can tint. I have featured them on my Gala Skin (Yum- Sundust Light - Cranberry)

Here is the Before, I am wearing an alpha to hide my system lashes and you can see that there is a more natural looking lash on the skin itself.

New Addition for KaliKo 21! Dottie Mae

Ok so I am blatantly promoting my BFF's store. Especially since she used me as the model. This is the latest in her KaliKo 21 line. The dress is called Dottie Mae. I love that she doesn't make the glitch pants actual pants so you have the option of wearing pretty panties underneath. There will be more to come. She also participates in 60L weekends.

Click Here to Visit KaliKo!

My fellow blogger Nivaya Barbosa pointed out that this would also make cute retro lingerie. I have also paired it together with Jeans or Capris. So its quite versatile.

Save Starlust! (or WoE is me)

So it looks like the Lovely Elikapeka Tiramisu has opened a new hair store called ElikaTira. Only a few styles out but its good to see she is back. She has a couple of lovely gifts and its still offering my favorite variety pack containing a couple shades each of red, brown, blonde, black and white. I am wearing one of the browns but tinted it a bit to get my preferred auburn shade.




Autumn in Florida is not very apparent. We don't have those lovely colored leaves. It just gets a bit cooler and drier. Still jeans, closed toed shoes and light sweaters are just the thing.




I encourage everyone to head over to Starlust. Several of the designers have stuff for sale to help keep the Starlust Motel Sim up and running. The Shirt I have was made by Ingenue and Comes in a 3 pack. There are also some great poses, outfits, jewelry and oddities to look at.

This time I have included Landmarks/SURL's to the shop. Just click on the shops name

Not So Plain "Jane" and other things

So basically every single blogger from Dressing In Pixels all got hit with a severe case of RL. Now that things are a bit calmer, you will be seeing more from at least me. I figure easiest will be to feature a "look of the day".

It seems Janie Marlowe has a new store called Jane. Lots of great basic. Plus she has been very generous by offering free tanks in a ton of colors and scarves to boot. I love the fit of the scarves so much I bought a few packs. I may have to feature a bit more later this week.

Per Nivaya, it is now autumn so we must dress a bit more warmly. So I have taken to wearing cardigans. This one is from Miseria.

Walking the Boards at Sand Shack Surf Co.

So first and foremost my apologies to Sand Shack Surf Co designer, Emma Gilmour, as I told her I would have this feature last week as she kindly gave me the opportunity to review these shoes.

Summer is just around the corner and here in my area of Sunny Florida I am so ready to hit the beach. In the Summer the sand can get incredibly hot and if your feet are tender shoes are imperative.

Emma has created this cute little slip on shoe called the Boardwalker. It comes in 16 different fun colors and patterns!





I will admit I am very late in discovering Surf Co. But I am now a devoted fan. Some other new items include the Moana Bikini and Shack Shorts shown below. I was very impressed by the fit of the prims on the shack shorts.



Also new are her Belmar Jeans. When it comes to Pants I am a die hard fan of the prim leg attachment to give that finished look. Instead of prims Emma used the sock option to give the pants the lean supper skinny look. She gives the option of plain jeans or with a subtle polka dot.



I have again used the colorful Boardwalker shoe and one of her cute new Slouchy Thread Sweater in Violet floral.

So here is the deal! All clothing and shoes I am wearing can be found at Sand Shack Surf Co. Located in the Artilleri Sim. Be sure to check them out!

Here is your LIMO to Sand Shack Surf Co

Happy St. Patricks Day - Wearing my Luck

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

I am told we Americans make a much bigger deal of St. Patricks Day then Ireland does and I can surely believe it. Leading up to this week I have been trying to put together looks with green. This one jewelry set is the one thing I have not taken offer. The lovely celtic knotwork with stylized shamrock comes in silver or gold and I can easily see myself wearing this all year long.





Be Sure to Click this link or on the picture to enlarge it. This is the best way to view the intricate detail of the work.

So I leave you with one of my favorite Irish Blessings.

May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!

Elated! Nyte and Day

Due to an attack of Real life, my chance for early shopping was limited so I only hit 2 of the RFL Clothing Fair Sims. I figure I can so at least a little a day to share my favorites. Hopefully there will be more shopping in my future.

My first outfit features this great Moitie Coat (RFL 2010 Edition) in a hot fuschia pink. I have paired it with the Kaia dress in Night by Elate and the Josephine Pump by Indyra Originals. Nyte N' Day can be found in the Melbourne Section. Elate! is located in the New Dehli sim. Stay tuned for more great Elate items I can't wait to show off.



I ended up using my skirt shape to get the perfect line with the coat. The prim fits very well with minimal editing for me.
The Kaia dress also comes in a wide range of colors with pretty and subtle striping.

The hair I am wearing is a new release from Exile called Majandra and the skin is one of the new Makeups from Gala in her Cupid 2 pack.

On Thin Ice

Last weeks a great event called Melt: An Installation on Thin Ice began. This even has brought together some great designers with very unique fashion offerings. This event runs till March 22, 2009.

This project is a study of translations. I presented 25 artists within Second Life with a concept of creating art with these words in mind: Drowning. Melting. Polar bears. Arctic. Culpability. Corporate greed. Inevitability. Extinction. ~Organizer Radio Signals



The polar bear feet have 2 selections, either normal or fashionista. Fashionista has painted claws. The dress Ethylene has a neat corset lacing up the back that ends with a fish hook and comes with several ruffly layers that can be worn alone or combined too.

The glacial build is a great sight to see as well. So take some time and visit Melt: An Installation on Thin Ice

A GRACE-FUL WEDDING

Oh Valentines Day, that special day dedicated to Love and Romance. You either love it or hate it.

I was one of those on the bitter side of it. I had a totally un-romantic,now ex, husband and I went on and on about how it was over commercialized piece of BS. Well I still think it IS over commercialized plus my Sweetie is loving and Romantic every day of the year. But its nice to give a card and a little token to commemorate the day.

One thing I have noticed is a lot of people either get engaged or married on Valentine's day. The wedding business in SL has been booming. Its the opportunity to have that big beautiful wedding with that dreamy dress that would cost $10,000 plus in real life.

Enter here is Grace Winnfield of Gracie's. I recognized the inspiration of her wedding gowns and IM'd her to talk about our love of a particular show. (Say Yes to the Dress)

We both commented on how a lot of women seem to gravitate towards these sparkly lingerie style bodice princess gowns. I mean it's REALLY popular! Here is her take on that. Though my preference is for simple and elegant. I love this neck ruffle and crystals. This gown comes with a veil, but I opted to use the flowers that came with the hair I am wearing.







Next is another RL inspired gown called Pure Princess



This one comes with several attachments. I will point out that I wore both spine and shoulder attachment for more fullness. This is a lot of prims worth of detail but the look is stunning.

The gown comes with a veil and flower attachement or just the flower as I have shown.

Gracie makes her skirts is various sizes for easy modification and usually includes different ranges of fullness too.

Plus, you are in luck, to make room Grace is having a great sale till the 20th of February!!





Gracie's can be found HERE!


GOWNS: Gracies - Royal Diamond Beauty and Pure Princess
SKINS: Gala - Winter - Frost and Pure Sundust Light
HAIR: Truth - Rose - Auburn ( comes with red, white or black flower hairpiece)

Inspiration and Design

Artists, writers, poets, designers, architects have one thing in common. They take inspiration from what they see, hear, and even feel.

I am one that loves when a designer see's an outfit,hairstyle, shoe, skin/makeup plant, building or whatever from RL and uses it as inspiration. To make it their own, they may tweak the pattern or texture or shape. There are many, like me, that size or finances don't allow us to purchase these things in RL. So being able to wear it, live in it or use it in SL is awesome. To show my support I have take this gown by Ivey Deschanel that was inspired by a dress featured on the RL Runway. To make it my own, I tweaked it a bit in photoshop to give my artistic touch. I am sure, Ivey would not mind. (fingers crossed)



There are many designers in SL that are regularly shop at because they have things I would wear in RL if I could. I am sure we can all take a look at our inventory and find something that you love because you saw it in RL first. I welcome my readers to send their pictures in as well. Make sure you include the designers name so I can ask permission to showcase first.

New Stuff, New Store, Fusemelon!

Aemilia Case of Philotic Energy has started a great new venture called Fusemelon. This location features hair, eyes, clothing, accessories and jewelry. Being a new store it only has a few items, but I know that this will change soon. Being a fan of Philotic Energy hair, I had to demo these new wigs and immediately purchased 2 of them. The hair color I am wearing is Mahogany.

TWO HEARTS is a cute messy updo. Great for casual or a red carpet event.







SEEKING ME has a cute beret that is color change on touch.





Aemilia gives a little bonus when it comes to demo-ing her colors. This is a cute free hair called TAKEN ALL. Her textures are different from what she was doing at Philotic Energy so I highly recommend trying on the different colors she has.







Last but not least are these eyes. I am wearing the Radiant Eyes in Black Current. She not only has the system eyes but prim eyes as well. This is great if you like the option of having 2 different colored eyes. The eyes also come in 3 sizes. Realistic, Medium and Large. I have the medium eyes on, but if you love anime you might find the large eyes perfect.



Aemilia has set out a special grand opening gift. This gift is placed in a green bag throughout the store. It has a great T-Shirt, Male and Female hair and bag.

FUSEMELON is now open for business so be sure to find some time to stop buy and try a few demos!

Home Decor is Fashionable Too!

Thanks to the SCD Appreciation Day I have discovered a new shop called Gwendonlyn Bieler Design


Her Alice Set (shown below) now graces my Skybox. Her work is well done without being overly primmy, plus she gives several options of poses as well.




Gwendolyn just opened her store and the best way I can describe it is a bit of contemporary with a bit of shabby chic. I look forward to what she is going to do next.


Her most recent addition is a Cabana Set that she is giving away for just 1L!




The set includes the deck, cabana, loungers, daybeds, rug, ceiling fan light (that works) and even folded up towels! The front curtains can be closed for privacy too. I would buy beachfront property just to put this out. Alas, I am poor so that will have to wait.



Her items are copy, no mod, no transfer. If you are looking for some new furniture, I highly recommend shopping at Gwendolyn Bieler Interior Designs.

These pictures may seem small, but just click on them to see them full size. The link to her shop is in purple at the beginning of the blog. Stay Tuned for more information on the outfit I am wearing.
