Sorry I have been away.  I had to take a break for a few weeks for medical reasons, but I am back feeling refreshed and ready to get back in the game.  I am slowly playing catch up so please bear with me.  I had no Internet access so I am quite behind.  This outfit is something I put together very quickly with the help of my mentor and friend SerinaJane.  Check out the booties I am wearing below.  They are brand new releases from Bax Coen Designs and I absolutely love them.

High fashion sometimes can be quite difficult, at least for a simple girl like me.  I see beautiful creations down the runway, but I cannot help by wonder if anyone will actually be able to wear some of the designs off the runway.  The Deniz Set from Vero Modero however is quite appealing.  This outfit caught my attention during Modavia Fashion Week.  The pink ruffles and neck bow add enough drama to the look but you can always tone it down with casual accessories, makeup and hair.  I went the other way, went a bit more dramatic, reminiscing about my SL runway modeling days.

With Halloween just around the corner, I decided to try something different today, neko style.  I have always wanted to try this style, but never had the courage.  Trying new styles can be quite intimidating, but Beautiful Dirty Rich is a great place to start for neko style first timers like me.  You can find a wide range of full outfits with ears and tails.  The outfit I am wearing is called Dancing in the Dark Dress Version, and it’s a bargain, currently on sale for L$99.  It contains so many clothing options, ears, tail, tattoos, boots, and even headphones.  I am not wearing the headphones or the boots today, and I added some underwear from Sweetest Goodbye for extra coverage.  I just couldn’t get myself to go out only wearing the fishnet dress.  The boots I am wearing are from Bax Coen.  As I mentioned previously, I started training as a Customer Service Rep, so naturally will be wearing Bax Boots on a more regular basis.  The hairstyle is also new, from ChiChickie!  It’s so cute.  It’s scripted to resize and to change the color of the elastic bands.  For skin, I have reverted back to my usual skin, Curio’s Jasmine.  Anyways, I am digging this look on me.  I hope you guys like it too, because I may be wearing more neko stuff going forward.  Miao!

I am wearing another new skin today.  This one is from Glam Affair which I picked up at The Dressing Room.  I love the dark thick eyebrows, gives the face more definition and character.  I know I will be reverting to my usual skin soon, but I am a skin whore after all and have a lot of different skins sitting in my inventory… so why not share some of my favorites from time to time.  The earrings are once again from Paper Couture, another new release this season.  I am loving every piece of jewelry by them and would not be surprised if this is all I wear for the next couple of weeks.  The gown is new from Vero Modero.  Made 100% of delicate lace, it’s feminine yet sexy, revealing just enough skin.  The hair piece is included along with the lace gloves.  What I love about Vero Modero is most of their outfits come fully styled which is great for lazy people like me who sometimes cannot be bothered. It’s effortless and yet I know I still look great.  Talking about laziness, I finally adjusted the lashes from Apple May Designs to fit my face.  It was actually very simple.  The lashes are scripted so all I had to do is click on the menu +/- until it fit my eyes.  It didn’t take more than one minute to do so.  The sad eyes are from Izzie’s, great if you want to capture more emotion in your pictures, especially close up.

This is the newest face available at Apple May Designs called Catalina.  I am loving the soft and feminine features of this new skin, so I decided to take a break away from my usual skin, Curio’s Jasmine, for today’s post.  The skin comes with prim lashes which I am not wearing.  They are great, but they need of a bit of editing to fit my avie so I gave it a pass today and instead went for some from Redgrave.  The earrings are new from my all time favorite store, Paper Couture.  The talented Lu sisters recently released a new collection which I am drooling over.  The exquisitely intricate crystal earrings are great on its own, especially worn with a simple evening gown.

The evening gown I am wearing today is from Amarelo Manga Couture collection.  It’s simply elegant.  I think the back is more interesting than the front of the dress.  The silver chain at the back holding up the dress is a nice detail not to be missed, thus the bonus shot of my back below…

This is definitely a look I would wear in RL.  Although I love all the glam and glitz of fashion, RL me is very much casual.  The weather in Seoul has been quite volatile intraday, cooler mornings & evenings but warmer during the day.  Layering is the best way to cope with the extreme changes of temperature and this look is simply a replica of what I have been wearing lately.  The knit cardigan is actually menswear.  I had to edit the prims smaller and make my chest a bit flatter to fit me better.  The tiger sweater is my latest obsession.  I have a soft spot for animal prints!!!  The jeans are not new, but I love the fit.  By the way, the hair I am wearing today is from ChiChickie!  It’s actually part of a full avatar package in collaboration with KRB Skins, but I am being told it will be available in all of ChiChickie’s usual color packs very soon.  I can’t wait~

This is a look I put together over the weekend, but failed to share with you as I had issues with my desktop.  I am using my friend’s computer in the mean time.  The dress was a weekend special from Aleida, only L$60.  It comes with the lovely pair of platform pumps which I am wearing as well.  It’s a bargain I couldn’t resist.  The headpiece is an old group gift from Bliss Couture.  I tinted it a bit darker to the same tone as my clutch.  The earrings are a group gift from Bliss Couture as well.  This one is more current and still available at the store.  Make sure you have your group tag activated to receive the gift.

I have a job in SL!  I have just joined the Bax Coen team to be trained up as a Customer Service Representative. I am just a trainee at this point, but it’s great to be working again.  Bax Coen is one of my favorite shoe stores in SL, so I am excited to be part of the team.  To celebrate I put together a casual look wearing one of my favorites from Bax Coen.

I am really loving this new face from Apple May Designs, such a sweet face and lovely lips.  Anyways, today I am wearing a lighter skin tone, which is what I usually wear.  I can’t wait to see more make up options.  The eyes are a gift from my friend and great blogger, Nana Minuet.  I have been wearing them for sometime, but I had a few people asking where to buy them so I added a SLURL below to her store.  These eyes are one of my favorites.  The dress I am wearing is new from Aleida.  It’s called China Doll, hence the title of my post today.  Ok, it’s not the most original but my brain is still on vacation mode.

Today I am wearing a new skin for a change.  Lately, I have been wearing Curio’s Asian skin, Jasmine, but when I received this review copy of Apple May Designs’ new face, Kat, I decided to give it a try.  To my surprise, the skin fit my shape very nicely.  Though I don’t look Asian, I love the facial features of this skin.  The glossy mouth and the deep set eyes are very appealing to me.  The hair is new as well from ChiChickie!.  The combination looks very 70′s, so today I tried to recreate a look inspired by the 70′s glam.  The dress is an all time favorite from LeeZu!.  The jewelry is new, from Amarelo Manga, a new store to me with some great jewelry and clothes.
