Scottish Fun

I really don't find many ladies kilts out there so this one did catch my eye. I have to admit I love all the bits and pieces it comes with. Wearable options make all the difference!

The textures are just georgous and I love the fringe in the front. You will need to edit the fringe bits down just a bit if you decide to wear just the open laced jacket with it. If you know how to mod individual linked pieces,this should be no problem at all.

As for the boots, I wanted dark leather and I wanted them to have the feel of old medieval flat boots. These were perfect!. I am happy to say the tint of these boots are mod so I could make them as dark as I liked!

Hawaiian

It's been such a busy rl weekend but I did want to take the time to find a little something special to wear.


You know, something playful that would make me feel graceful and sexy - so take a look at this beautiful, traditional Hawaiian Hula Dress.


I swear the girly feeling you get at a concert doing a soft swaying dance is sooo worth it!

Hmm.. maybe it's time to get out and see if there are any fun, new beaches in world.

Till next time!

India with Style

I figured it was time to do something a bit global. Through my SL travels I've found some very nice outfits that show Indian fashion at it's very best.

From the simple purple dress to the more ornate look of the red and gold, it's time to appreciate the colors and styles of India!

These dresses are from different designers and I do wish they were a bit more mod but they do fit beautifully. I just love the jeweled colors of India .

Honestly, the fashion divas of SL would be willing to try a wider variety of cultural looks if demos of the dresses were available.

Red and Gold:
Dress - {Zaara} ZC red riot dupatta
Hair - .: mela's :. chignon with colorchange comb - black
Skin - Fleur Vivant Bronze Paon 2
Eyes - *Sin Skins* Intense Chocolate/Gold Eyes
Jewelry - {Zaara} ZC : Suvarna
Shoes - Lassitude Signature sandal - brown & gold, can't be seen in the photos but work perfectly -

The cherry on top is of course, the jewelry. By now I figure you've noticed I don't were it a lot. This set is an exception. It can all be bought as a set ..or not, but let me worn you, once you put on the nose ring you will fall in love and wish you'd bought the big box!

Purple:
Dress - Mashooka, :MD: Gharara Nandu {purple} Such beautiful colors and I love the way it shows off the skin but still has a very innocent look.
Hair - Maitreya, Eva-more - Pitch
Skin - Curio - :GP: Luster-Nightshade - An absolutely perfect skin for this dress!
Eyes - *Sin Skins* Intense II Light Violet eyes (med) - gives it all such a vibrant look.

When selecting a skin, try to get the lip colors to work with the dress. It pulls the look together.

Now I'm off to see if I can find a Taj Mahall in Second Life:)

Lush

Brand new over at Bare Rose today - 10 new outfits!

This was my favorite. It fits very well into role play and it has such a lush sensuality to it. I just couldn't resist.

It's the full deal - that means hair is in the box..and shoes (which are kinky all by themselves) and the dress! The cherry on top??? It comes with it's own AO!!! Love it - Love it!

My avi has never been draped in such luxury - makes me happy. Oh and yes - the Bare Rose prices can't ever be beat. Quality, design and I always feel like I got more than I paid for. This outfit was only $180L.

American Indian

Hey everyone!

This is one of the newer releases over at BareRose. This outfit is American Indian, well, it is inspired by American Indian designs.

BareRose is never chintzy about what's put in their packages. This one does come with more pieces for the legs and arms that I decided not to wear. Take a close look at all the gorgeous details on this - from the necklace to the headband to the textures on the top. This is a very girlie look!

I did try to wear it to the Tombstone roleplay sims (8 of them) but sadly, they told me to cover up. Although the textures on this look a bit Apache, the tribe was much more conservative in the Tombstone days. I do agree, it is not period appropriate for that site. I am vary happy to say - tons of other American Indian sites are less strict. So get out there and have fun with this one!

Heads up - the hair band or the prim lashes...if one has to go for this look, which should it be? I choose to keep on the band:)

The question is, why didn't I wear the other arm and leg pieces? Well, this is a review, to be honest, I was hoping for a tighter fur effect. This is NOT a deal breaker for me. This outfit is loaded with fun and fantasy and is very much worth the price!

Sooo..the blue eyes and fair skin just means ....I was captured as a child and raised among them... Sure, let's go with that story!!

OMG!! - The Gala skins from skin fair are now in her store! These skins are a must buy!

Hair - straight, long, black and simple, Braids would have worked too. This hair was perfect!

Wish list - a sculpty ankle high moccasin with a leather sole. You know, not those store bought soles the pioneers had made, but soft leather made for protection and comfort. Plain and beaded would both be good! I simply could not find such a thing anywhere. ohhh - wait..it needs fringe too!!

Well, off to play!

Sexy Scotts

This is a cross between a Costume and a Global Design for me. The scottish plaid and the kitty ears....no one can pull it together like June Dion.

Love the plaid and the fact that it's a partial skirt with matching shorts brings out my flirty side:) *One note about the shorts (which are on the pant layer) - Go into edit mode and change the length to 47, otherwise you will find small skin slits behind the upper calf's. Easy easy easy fix!

The vest/shirt is a winner. Look close at the photo above - notice the the prim flexi sleeves that sort of drape over the white shirt sleeves. This means as your arms swing about (like most ao's want them too), the white sleeve and the flexi sleeves cross paths. Honestly, it didn't bother me at all. The tiny little shoulder pads and the vest look with the 3/4 sleeve gave the whole look attitude.

I wanted a subtle hair style since I had never worn ears like this before. Happy to say several ear colors come in the box. What cute ears!

The boots - oh my.....got them at the shoe expo..stunning or what?
*easy to resize
*can change the buckles and such from gold to silver
*and texture than makes me drool.
*Let's NOT forget the tiny little laces that swing in the back (a must buy).

Hair - Frangipani Hair, >FD Hair< Sarah - Espresso
Outfit - ::: B@R ::: Scottish Fold (# outfits in the box + 3 sets of ears for only
Boots - Kitties Lair - KneeHigh Boot's Venice (also at her booth at the shoe expo)
Skin - Fleur Vivant Buff Paon 2
Well - I'm off to explore a bit.

On a side note - I have had contact with my ex partner....I think with some work, we can work this out. Rachel does her happy dance!

Of course - I have a few nice places I have visited lately and would like to suggest the following:

Statue of Liberty

Ebbets Field

Egypt Nile Valley - 4 sims of rp, the landing point looks thrown together, but once on the ground - very well done.

Atlantis -

HEAVEN'S ABOVE - Formal Dance

Global Designs

It's a privilege to show beautiful costumes that highlight a cultural group or a cultures history. So I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna add another category of outfits called Global Designs.

There isn't a better way to start this category then as a Zulu Maiden. Ok - I'm just gonna spit it out. The costume is rich in culture and gorgeous... and yup....the Afro is fun!!

I am not wearing the skin that came with the outfit simply because every skin fits a bit different on different people. This is my favorite dark skin which was in my closet so I had to show it!

I love the way the arm bands and leggings fit and the way they sway when I walk (makes me feel girlie). But this outfit also makes me feel more assertive. If I could just get away with wearing it to a dance!

The headdress in the box is unique and does work very well with the Zulu Maiden

Unfortunately, I can be shy - the ballrooms of SL are tough for me. I absolutely freeze and am unable to ask a man to dance. Drives me nuts! This is the type of outfit that gives shy people an edge. Maybe it's the shield and Nguni Stick...

The afro is such a fun look..it sort of wobbles about when I walk...and I don't mean in a bad way. It's an absolute keeper for me and comes in many colors!

I do hope at some point to get a smaller afro, let me know if you find anything.
