Bird Song

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." - Lou Holtz

The Skin Fair and The Boutique hit my pocket book at once yesterday making it almost impossible to determine my first must have purchases from these events. Finally, after teleporting from sim to sim and trying on demo after demo I chose today's look "Bird Song".

Casa Del Shai has been a label that I have worn since I first rezzed into SL. I loved the style, colors and that all items were hand painted. Casa Del Shai was not only a favorite of mine, but my better half, Frankie Palliard also loved this label. We used to spend hours shopping together trying to coordinate our outfit and Casa Dl Shai was one of the first stores that allowed us to do this effortlessly because the quality was beautiful for not only women, but men too. Often Casa de Shai made male and female outfits which complimented one another. I really can't begin to tell you how excited I became when I saw Shai's announcement on plurk that she was releasing a new skin for The Skin Fair. I knew this would be a skin that I would have to try out.

Song is one of Shai's new skins and is available at The Skin Fair. You can find Shai Skins on sim 1 at The Skin Fair. Song has ten different makeup options. Each skin contains four brow options, sculpted lashes (not worn in the photo) a bare skin and a makeup version with two cleavage options. I personally think Shai has done a great job on this skin line. Song brings together fantasy, fashion and flair into one skin.

To be fair, I am going to mention that I have altered the original skin by adding a lipstick stick tattoo, mole tattoo and mesh teeth to moderately enhance and achieve a unique personal style. I hope these small changes do not deter you from trying a demo of Song.

Spring Baroque

It's time for another round at the Arcade. This month (March) has a vast assortment of stores participating which means Gacha overload. In today's post I'm highlighting some of my favorite items from The Arcade.

First off, Holy Goodness HAIR! Curio Obscura has released Stackable Hairs. These hair styles are in 1700s fashion and are all over the top wigs which give an antique feel. I managed to get this  rare hair style on my first try. I picked up a couple of others wigs as well because well...you never know when you might want to add a bit of fun to SL. The Ballroom hair style I am wearing is completely customizable, Starting with the Plume, flowers, fabric and hair color can be selected different colors to match your wardrobe. The one thing I haven't mentioned yet, is the figures inside the hair. There are tiny dancers with movement inside this wig and if that's not enough to get you excited you have to get a close up look inside the wig. You can customize the dancers, ballroom ceiling and floor. This wig is truly a work of art.

Next, I want to draw your attention to the skin from Insufferable Dastard (I.D). When I saw the Arcade shopping guide, I became drawn to this skin line, because of it's unique beauty.  I.D. is a new skin store to me, so I was very excited to receive "Innocent" on a first attempt. Innocent has a nude face which makes it easier to add tattoo layers for extra enhancement.

Shakeup released a set of Beautiful fans this round at The Arcade. I have been trying my hardest to get the entire line of this collection. I'm only missing Hibiscus, so if you know anyone who would be interested in trading please send them my way.

Teefy has a "help yourself party set" which is absolutely to die for. I've added a few pieces to my kitchen which is now starting to resemble a nice bakery from all the goodies.

Ladies who Lunch has a collection of mechanical bugs. These bugs remind me of steam punk style. The two LWL Bugs shown above are Luna Moth, Rare and Lavender Butterfly.

I do hope you stop by the arcade and pick up some wonderful goodies. In the event you run across the Shakeup Fan in Hibiscus, feel free to pass it my way ;)

Candied Pop Star

 

She sings so sweetly, her voice is like candy. She's the candied Pop Star. 

Today is the last day for the Pop star event at my attic located on The Deck sim. All items at this event are in the theme of Pop Stars. Items are priced very economically for those that are looking to stretch their lindens. I picked up a couple of dresses from the Pop Princess dress line created by Anessa Stien of DCNY. Each Pop Princess dress is mesh and has several sizing options available both for the top and bottom portions. What I enjoy most about this dress is the mix and match ability. Each dress can be worn as a separate shirt or skirt in combination with other designs. 

Hurry on in to The Attic and pick up your Pop Star items before the event closes.

Wrath

Recently, in my blog posts I've been showcasing PXL creations' 7 sin skin line. This set of skins is available in a Gacha form a 99L a play. Wrath (shown above) is one of my favorites out of this skin line. While I was trying to pull together a look I decided to use Wrath to revamp my profile photo. There are so many thing I love about Wrath; however, if I had to give my favorite feature I would have to say the rich deep glossy lip color is a major win. It was the feature that won me over completely. If you have never had the opportunity to wear a PXL skin I would highly advise you to stop into the shop and play the Gacha machine. Currently PXL creations has three female Gacha skin lines available for play and one male skin line. The skin line variety in style from fantasy, futuristic, beauty.

There is one final new item that I'd like to draw your attention to, BOOM has recently released the Precious Bow Choker. This choker is ideal for hiding mesh head seems. The Precious Choker is available in both a regular and scripted collar version. There are so many color options available (33 in total) that finding your perfect choker is as simple as pointing and clicking.

La Estrella de La Noche

La Estrella is a new store to me and I thought I would share one of the latest dresses from their collection. Gala dress, is my favorite number out of the new collection because of the gorgeous backless feature. All of La Estrella's designs are 100% mesh, including Gala. The front of this dress contains a silver shimmery textured panel to highlight your best features.

La Estrella's newest collection includes a jumpsuit, two different shot dresses and a crop top. All items are moderately priced under 200L. If you haven't shopped at La Estrella I highly recommend you take a quick stop and look around.
