After The Fall

{Taken at The Wastelands}

Hey luvs! Told you I would be back soon! Not soon enough, I know. If it were up to me, I would be here daily....nah, not really. That lil break allows for some inspiration to build and that is always a good thing.
I had yet another chance to tap into some of that cyber-ish styling and you know whenever I can do it, I will jump on it!
It's not too often that we see hair creators in Second Life go above and beyond the norm. That is in NO way disrespecting a single one of them, No no no. I love my SL hair stylers! What they do is not easy, at least not to me lol. Just like with clothing though, you get styles that are often similar, gorgeous...but still similar to others. Occasionally though, there's that one...and you all know what I am talking about. That one that stands out. I love .Shi for that! It seems that recently more hair styles have been available from .Shi and I definitely will not complain about that! I hope we get to see a lot more! They're new, fresh, unique, cutting edge.
I love that you can use them, I can use them, he and she can use them! They work for every genre I can imagine and that kind of flexibility is  pretty awesome.
If you click on the .Shi link above, there are some pretty interesting factoids about the owner of the shop. I love getting to know the people in my SL like that. It's inspiring to read about a person who started out in SL and went on to bring creations into RL. I know of several.
Also a lil bit intimidating because her creations in RL and SL are ah-may-zin! So I will have to have my creative hat on to show you allll the things they way they need to be shown! I'm up for a bit of a challenge!
I was able to combine my badass hair style with a tattoo I fell in love with! I missed it last month during the Mens Only Monthly event. It's now out at the main store so check out 7 Prodigy for the rest of the goods!
Of course, I featured a closie of my nails too. I am pretty much always wearing Dark Passions on my nails. The only time I don't credit my nails in my blog posts is when you cant see them but in any case, just know I have Dark Passions on them anyway lol.
Okay luvs, I shall see you again really soon! I hope you've enjoyed the weekend, may all of our Mondays be short and sweet <3

November Harvest

{Taken at Elysion}

I so hate saying good-bye to October...but I know all good things must come to an end. And just to be a sarcastic ass, I always make sure to share the countdown till next Halloween, there's always a person out there that'll get butt hurt about it!
Even though we say goodbye to October, November and December still warm the heart...maybe not in the same way but that's just a cluster of months I am learning to really love. I know some of us get really down around December. It's a stressful time of year! The one thing I can do is make sure to not focus on me. Mind you, I am not saying that will be the solution to YOUR problems, I am simply saying that is how I am wired and how I work around the 'C' word blues *CoughCHRISTMASCough*. For example, I focus on how excited the kids in my life are about the holidays. They seem to share their excitement with me, if only for a moment.

This time of the year is always an amazing time to bring around those warm colors, knit sweaters and all the cozy things! I am looking forward to a lot of the events coming up because I know they will deliver just this!

Speaking of the 'warm colors, soft undertones, etc etc...I simply adore Glam Affair! It seriously doesn't matter if I am wearing a mesh head or my normal head, Glam Affair just makes all the adorbs happen. So I couldn't help but put together a picture that would not only highlight the skin but show how much it inspires me and reminds me of the beauty in this Autumn Harvest.

Well hello again! 

So glad we're nearing the end of the week, it's been a long one. 

The events that have opened recently have been pretty awesome! I hope you've all had a chance to make it to them. Don't worry, I will have them linked below for you to pop over and play grabby hands. 

Glam Affair released several different skin tones for the Lelutka Mesh head and I have to say, I am in love with so many of them! Here is a closie of the different shades.

The one I am wearing in the picture is #14, a rare and so very gorgeous. For my pale skinned lovers, this is one you will want. With that fierce eyeliner on such porcelain skin, it definitely is a head turner! Maybe it's just me, maybe not but the eyebrows seem to have changed too. Fuller, fluffier and more defined...all things that none of us women mind!

I won't talk your pretty lil heads off tonight as I still have such things to show you. But I will be back again really soon. 

Luv you all, enjoy the rest of your week! <3

Time to Say Goodbye to Summer!

I don't know how the weather is where you are but Autumn is quickly setting in here. We cannot wait for it to 'officially' be Autumn because by then, it's too cold and nearing winter haha.
So I needed to have one more moment by the beach before the Autumn trends, colors, pictures, really start setting in.
Has everyone been to uber and completely cleared everything out? It looks amazing! So much awesomeness!
Glam Affair is there with yet another superb skin! With it's deep shades of eye shadows, this is one you will want around for the fall for sure!
Make sure to stop in and check out the demo's. I am wearing my Loud Mouth in this pic because I love it so. The appliers sold in the Glam Affair store blend well with this skin tone so that is what I used.
I will definitely be back soon with more goodies to share! Until then, have fun shopping and stuff! <3

Wear It Just to Take It Off

We're almost mid-week! Lets keep telling ourselves that, it makes it go by faster haha. Another favorite of mine is at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair, AviCandy <3 This is her hand painted top to bottom lingerie and I loved it! AviCandy makes appliers for almost all the mesh bodies so definitely make this one a staple! Also, Ashton (owner of AviCandy) is very good with her customers and always seems to be accepting of suggestions. Though you will find almost every style at her place at some point. Go have a look around!
This is the first time in awhile that I put my Belleza body back on, not for any other reason that I hate switching everything over. Well, this was a first for several things. I also am not wearing my mesh head!
I am telling you, if you switch over to a mesh head, prepare yourself for the battle that will ensue. Going back to your system head is so very hard! It just doesn't feel right for awhile and you're kind of frowning like...how did I ever accept this shape?! Just try on different skins haha. I had to try on several of my favorite skin makers and finally fell in love with my face again when I put Essences on.
So I am having fun with pics and putting outfits together right now so I shall be back again sooner than you think!! <3

Soooo many events, so little time! One of the events that recently opened is the Mesh Body Addicts Fair which runs from August 1st-21st. I think a lot of us are just that, mesh body addicts. If you love your mesh bodies, don't miss out!

My favorite lil nail designer ever is there of course! Dark Passions never fails in creating some of the most interesting, unique and gorgeous nail designs on the grid. I love dressing myself up from head to toe so, it's a big deal for me to be so precise. One of the exclusives for the event is the butterfly design featured above. How funny that this lil nail design inspired the ENTIRE picture! 

None better to feature with this than Petite Mort. This adorbs lil jumper is the exclusive at The Aloha Fair right now. This event runs until August 10th, you have a few days left to go check it out. This was easy to wear with my Maitreya which is a must! haha I can't abandon my Maitreya evar. 

Work week is already here again but looking forward to getting in some more posts soon!

Until then, go play grabby hands and have an excellent week! *smoooochers!*

Down On the West Coast... {Skindustrial Bodyworks-SkinFair 2015}

{Taken Here}

Skin Fair this year for me was a challenge...only because last year I had a lot more time to focus on the blog than I do right now. Also because I think I've grown a bit more as a blogger. I realized where my faults were last year but they're all a learning experience. I wanted this one to be more about the skin and less about anything else.

The skin I am in right now well, I am bias. I kind of love love the creator because she is simply an amazing woman and it shows through her work which was exceptional this year! I think one of my favorite things about Skindustrial Bodyworks skins is the highlights. It has a glow on it that just makes it a cake walk when taking pics. No editing needed! I pretty much edited allll around the skin and let the skin do its own job. Also the appliers for loud mouth and Nyam or darn flawless. And yeah, appliers...she makes alll the appliers so that makes Gia a happy girl (even though I know it drives the skin makers nuts! But we love you all long time for it!)

This skin comes in a few different shades which I will show you here in a fancy shmancy flashy thiny (unedited) and gorgeous!

Even though I love my pale skins...I was actually walking around for a good while in the darker tanned tone. They're just so gorgeous! 

Walking around at this beach mind you...which I've been camping out at for a few days because it's still cold where I am so yes, I am California Dreamin'!

If you don't know Skindustrial Bodyworks, this is a great time to head over to the Skin Fair while it's still around (till the 29th!), grab some demos and grab the goodies! Also click the link and show her facebook page some luvin' and keep yourself updated with new releases!

I'm already working on another post! I'll be back soon! Luff yew!

"Kiss Me Hard Before You Go..."

I almost never ever have a chance to blog Livalle shoes as they're on for an event so I had to haul ass to get a pic in, especially because I thought the style of these shoes for the 21 Shoe Event was pretty awesome! Slinky and sexy, full of class and sass. Versatility wins with these. I can wear them with my comfy shirt, dress them down with a pair of jeans or dress them up business casual, I can see it all now. So I hope you all have had fun shoe hopping. 

I know there are a lot of events open right now and it's insanely hard to keep up with everything, oh believe me...I know this! Just when you think you've got everything you want, you see something else and you're like awwwwww damn! I so know the struggle. But we're a selfish bunch, we want all the pretty thangs. Don't miss the 21 Shoe Event. It's a one day shoe thing and if you're a shoe lover like me, this is an event you will mark on the calender and do your rounds with a smile! Make Livalle your first stop! <3

Btw, I so got bit by the Lana bug. I love her long time...metal head and all I simply can't deny her loveliness. So, I am sure you will see lots of Lana Del Rey inspired posts!
