Layka

Today’s look is definitely not me, but I wanted to try something different.  I am showing off a lot more skin than usual.  When I first logged on to SL, I remember for the first few months, the choices in my SL wardrobe were limited to gowns or sexy revealing outfits, with nothing in between.  There are so many choices now days.  It’s always great to venture out to new styles when one can.  SL is just perfect for that!  Anyways, the weekend is almost over for me, but I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Caracas

As many of you know, I am not a big fan of wearing mini dresses with bare legs.  I much prefer to wear leggings or a pair of jeans under the dress for extra coverage.  Today instead of jeans or leggings, I chose to wear tights.  These heart print tights are so cute; they tone down the sexiness of the outfit.  The mini dress & jacket combination “Caracas” is from Ch’s Designs.  The boots are included.  It comes with a HUD which allows you to choose different color options for the jacket and boots, as well as choose appliers for different mesh bodies, all in one HUD, which is very convenient.  🙂  Anyways, it’s a short post today as I am not feeling all that well.  I need to get some sleep!

On a Date?

Today I am taking a bit of a break from Halloween and darkness and bring you something softer and feminine… a look perhaps appropriate for a date, a softer side of me.  The dress I am wearing is from LeeZu!   LeeZu! is currently having a sale right now, L$99 or less for everything in their store.  I picked up a few dresses I have been eyeing since I returned to SL.  This is one of them. I love how it hugs around my body!  I went simple with accessories, a gold chain necklace and a statement ring.  I know matching the shoes and the bags is a bit outdated, but why not?  The rest of the outfit is so simple.   Adding a pop of color makes it more interesting.  This is a bit random, but what do people do when they go on dates in SL?  I don’t date in SL, so just curious…

Mesh Me

Just when I thought I would dismiss buying a mesh head, I came across this skin applier for Lelutka mesh head at TheSkinnery and I fell in love.  The freckles, the thick eyebrows and the lips are so cute.  I am Asian, so it’s always exciting to find Asian skins for my avatar.  Definitely the variety of Asian skins available has increased over the years with far more choices than when I first started SL in 2007.   Perhaps I should do a post showing you some of the Asian skins I have found along the way.  Anyways, I still prefer my classic avatar face over my mesh head.  I just feel more unique and different, but I am sure I will be wearing my mesh head quite often.  Mesh just photographs so well.  Today’s pictures are mostly raw shots directly from SL.  The best part is no more annoying shadows and odd shapes around the nose.  By the way, my hair stylist today is Tukinowaguma.  It is one of my go to hair stylists these day.
The look is mainly from Ricielli, all hunt prizes from the End of Summer Hunt at their main store.  Find 20 pink balls containing some gorgeous outfits, shoes and accessories.  The heels, bag and dress are from the hunt.  The mesh dress is called “Francesca” so I had to share it with you.  Yes, I am a narcissist!
Look at the detail of the bag and shoes, I love it!  I actually have the original bag which this bag was inspired from in RL. 🙂  It’s my day to day work bag.
Just a close up shot of my toenails and shoes…  I wanted to show you the gorgeous nail appliers for Maitreya from alaskametro<3.  These are only L$25, and appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Eve and Omega are included.   The HUD allows you to choose from 5 different finishes in 5 different colors.  I am wearing ombre glitter finish on my hands and crackle finish on my toes today.
