When I'm Blue....

I think of you...

Well It looks like I'm back to blogging for now. I can't stay away from this part of Second Life because I find it's such a creative outlet for me. So let's look at what I'm wearing today, sigh...I know it isn't much,but that's the fun of blogging...showing off my unmentionables.

Today I'm wearing Zaara's Chanchal Lingerie in Mocha. Zaara's lingerie comes complete with appliers which lay directly against the skin. Zaara has been a favorite designer of mine for many years so you can imagine how much I love lounging around in this set. The lingerie set comes complete with stockings, garter belt, panties and lace bra.

Next I want to highlight Erratic's Allure Satin robe in midnight. This robe is totally cute and dar I say sexy. It comes complete with a hud that will allow you to have it open or closed. I prefer the open flasher option as I can give you all glimps of my lingerie.

I've taken a little blogger hiatus over the last couple of month. Things sometimes become a bit too much for me and I have difficult focusing; however, I'm back at it. Blogging in SL has and will always be something I love and no matter how long I might stay away I always find myself being pulled back into it.

The main reason why I'm getting back into blogging is because of the ROMP winter fair. I've been enjoying exploring the naughty side of SL again and I'm going to be snapping a few photos to showcase the goodies I have picked up from ROMP's fair.

Today I'm highlighting Salt and Pepper's Harness, Grace. Grace is totally sheer, flirty and will get hearts racing. This harness isn't a typical BDSM outfit, but rather is soft, light and demure. Some of the best features of this harness are tied into the HUD design which allows you to have some flexibility in the color dept. Salt and Pepper's Hud has several different options that you can customize: Leather, Lace the Rings and even Chains can all be changed. Grace is available in several different sizes and will fit the Maitreya, slink and hourglass body. As a special promotion Salt and Pepper has reduced the price of Grace to 20% so now is a good time to head over to ROMP and pick up this lingerie set.

I'm also showcasing another lovely item from ROMP, the, "goodnight bed" from Hive has become my new favorite place to lounge in my home. Truth be told I kinda have a princess and the pea syndrome and it does transition into SL as well. I have pretty high standards for my bedding in RL and SL. I absolutely adore the intricate design of the headboard the bed has different options available for singles and couples. Hive has given the Goodnight bed the ability to be customized so it can match almost any decor.

I hope you take the time to visit ROMP and pick up a naughty item or two. Remember the ROMP fair is only here for a limited time so it's best to TP in and get your naughty fix before time runs out. The ROMP fair is available from January 8th- January 22nd

The ROMP Fair has opened it's doors once again and this round is just as fantastic as the last. If you want to find out more about the ROMP fair you can see my previous post on it here, you can also check out the ROMP website for additional info. I'll probably be posting a few more risque' photos in my upcoming posts as I make my way though all the goodies from the fair.

Today, I'm showcasing a very naughty lingerie set from Pepe. I honestly couldn't resist purchasing this set when I saw the vendor ad. The Darling Bra and Latex Harness set is the ultimate combination of a seductive flirt. So naturally, I decided it would be the perfect outfit to wear as introduction to this round's ROMP fair. Pepe's lingerie set works with the Maitreya mesh body, which is fantastic for those of us who love mesh bodies.

I decided to pair the lingerie with some additional accessories I picked up from Muka. Muka's Alia Set comes complete with arm bands and a collar. They are a great addition to anyone who likes to live on the wild side. The Alia Set can be customized in both color and size making wearing and accessorizing a total breeze. 

Make sure you head over to ROMP and pick up a few treats of your own.

Cherry Bomb!

I have to admit I was a little excited to see Luxuria's, release for ROMP's Summer Fair, the moment I saw it I knew I would be blogging it. Luxuria has once again managed to capture my heart with a fierce and sexy lingerie set. Sakura, is almost guaranteed to command attention. You can really see the work and dedication that was given in creating this little number. The soft smooth silk along the bust line and trim of panty; the intricate pattern that flows across the body and if you look even closer you can see stitching along the bra bottom. Sakura is 100% compatible with Maitreya Mesh Body because Luxuria includes appliers which make dressing and undressing oh so easy. It's a dream come true for this girl. Now, I know I'm posting this a tad early because ROMP's Summer fair has yet to open, so pardon the tease. If you can wait, you too can get your hands on Sakura. ROMP's Summer fair is filled with various naughty pieces to enhance your SL wild side. I'll be posting more goodies from the fair soon so please keep your peepers on the blog for upcoming posts.

ROMP's Summer Fair starts, July 3rd. If you want to take a peak at some preview items from the fair I strongly suggest you look at ROMP's web page. (Link included) Oh and if you are a member of Elysion Adult Lounge you can gain early access. I happen to be a member of Elysion Adult Lounge, and let me tell you it's a beautiful sim that has social functions every week. It's one of my favorite spots to take photos in SL.

Gotta have Faith

 

I'm totally making a "Wham" reference in my blog post title because not only is PXL Creations new skin line called Faith, but It has me singing the song too......you know the part about the sexy body. Faith is in my opinion the best skin that Hart has created so far. I absolutely love the makeup options, brows and freckles. Faith is my new everyday skin so expect to see more blog posts in the future using this skin.

Faith is a gorgeous, sensual soft skin that is available in 8 skin tones. Inside each skin tone color purchase you will find a total of 18 base skins.  These skins include different features such as, cleavage enhancements, eyebrow color and freckles. There is even a full body freckle tattoo, and buzz cut tattoo available. Additional make up options can be purchased in build your own packs or in an entire fat-pack selection. PXL Creations VIPS will receive 10% off their purchase when wearing their PXL group tags. It's definitely a must demo skin.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge- Week 18- Thistle

"Do not blame the Thistle that you see no beauty."- Johnathan Lockwood Huie

Today's post is Week 18's color Thistle. I'm still a bit behind on Luna's 52 Week of color challenge, but don't worry I will be catching up slowly.

Thistle is a pretty purple color found in the "Thistle" flower. The flower itself is a bit pointy, but still non the less is beautiful. I've been blessed to see some of these flowers long the roadside in Italy and even in my very own yard.

Thistle was a hard color for me to find in my inventory, but I did manage to find traces of it within this lingerie set from Zaara. I have been waiting patiently to use this lingerie set I fell in love with it the moment I saw it plurked. (any excuse to take a photo in my unmentionables. ) I Think it's the combination of garter and thong I find so appealing. The view from behind is to die for.

The next color challenge post is Pueblo. I'm planning a trip in SL for this one.

Fit to be Tied

Bells Boutique has released a new outfit "Fit to be Tied" which is a Corset/Bodysuit. "Fit to Be Tied" is released in 8 vibrant colors. Each lingerie set is 75L and the Skittles Pack (fat pack) is 450L.  Included is an optional prim skirt and necklace.

Reflecting on Bells Boutique-
A long time ago before I started blogging I used to make clothing in Second Life. It was something that interested me when I was a new resident. I wanted to learn so badly, so I attended classes at NCI. The first class I took taught me how to upload a texture and then edit in SL Appearance to make shirts, skirts, pants. Ect. My first designs were ugly, crude, the word primitive definitely comes to mind when I think about early works.

My little store grew and I learned new techniques and skills. I started with Gimp, then moved on to Photoshop elements until I was gifted Photoshop CS and a whole package of Adobe goodies from a classmate in RL. As RL brought inevitable changes I found I had less time and interest in designing until slowly stopped creating in SL. As my Fourth Rezz day approaches I have started to review my little trip down SL. I've decided that I would like to focus back on what I first loved in SL, Clothing Creation.



My little store has always been sort of a passing hobby and way to learn. I don't think I could ever be someone with great talent in clothing design; but I will continue to create because it's fun, a challenge and gives me a sense of personal satisfaction. My clothing will never be perfect and part of me will always feel as if it's inadequate. I will admit to feeling that small twinge of failure or invisibility that some SL content creators fall into. I made sales yes, but my tiny store was never blogged by anyone other than myself. I never knew about review copies or marketing. My blog wasn't even on the feeds. I have set aside a couple of personal goals for myself for the next six months, hopefully I can achieve these small milestones.

"Fit to Be Tied", is actually one of the first personal challenges I have completed. With this design I have managed to hand draw all elements, I refused to use brushes. I also learned how to make multiple colors of one design. Finally, I created a new template for store signs. Hopefully I can improve upon these techniques and make my next release better. Please stay tuned for new releases and as always if you have any feedback please let me know how to improve upon my store.

"La La Love" with Ooh La La

The other night I was walking along Tableau and found a store that totally caught my eye. It's called Ooh La La, which became the answer for the new lingerie hunt I was on. I immediately went into this cute lingerie boutique and purchased a couple of sets. Ooh La La is created by Nylon Pinkney, a total Fashion Guru.  I really hope Nylon continues creating more lingerie, perhaps costumes?....I can dream right?

Currently there is a total of 4 different Lingerie sets. The Betty Body Suit, Candy Body Suit (Shown above), Veronica Bows Set, and Lacy Slip (Shown below). All are moderately priced and do not exceed $150L, the quality surpasses the price. In addition, there are 11 stockings and 3 garter clips in the collection.

<3 Ooh La La, it makes your unmentionables, worth mentioning ;)
