Accessories dominate your life.....

Oh I don’t know whats come over me recently I’m actually updating out blog I mean WTF? I’m so lazy normally :P

Anyways it was mentioned on one of yesterdays comments about my eccentric and elderly post that they liked how I piled on accessories. So I had a little pontificate over the matter.

I’m a complete accessories junky in RL and SL I will try and wear anything (as you with see in the credits). In fact Gillian dearest has had a right laugh about my obsession to wear furniture particularly chairs and lamp hats. These less successful experiments weren’t that well documented….. thankfully. (Gillian keep the chair couture snaps to yourself thank you!)

I created this skin just for this matter (its an another shop mod) if any of you want a copy for doing this sort of layout feel free to IM me and ill drop it on you.

Large Image Here

I felt for this piece I would just focus on the chest and head because if I was to throw shoes bags and other suck things id be hear until next Thursday. These are all attached none are sneakily rezzed and position although this is a tip I love using for taking photos.

So et voila!

[Fashion Schizophrenic - Dreamey]

Part two of my fashion schizophrenic series. Today I picked a dream like fashion sense which it’s highlighted in the odd selection of colours. Normally maroon, purple, nude and gold are my first picks but I like how these tones mixed.

I wanted to shy away from the obvious floaty dress for a dreamer like look. Id prefer for it to be almost theatrical. Hats and gloves as ever ended up in the outfit. I think I have a glove addiction you know. I always wear them regardless of season.

I tried to soften the lines with the hair and the legwarmers both making use of transparency in the textures.

I think my favourite part of this outfit is the skirt which is part of a dress from <3>

Lastly I feel I should note a bit on my skin choice. It’s from Mia Snow a shop I’ve always known about from her flickr images but never really looking into it. I stopped by the other day and fell in love with a few of them. The makeups are so fun but still all wearable, mostly in pastel colours. I really loved this on it reminded me of a Russian doll.

Sorry for the slightly shorter post today!

[Fashion Schizophrenic - Eccentrically Elderly]

It’s safe to say I’m a fashion schizophrenic. I hope you are to!

No this doesn’t mean I need to have medical help its just a term I like to use J. I think the harder you look you’ll find a lot of people out there with this trait. Its like when you were a child and you’d raid a dressing up box and become a princess or a witch for the afternoon. That’s the same joy I feel everyone should get from fashion. Open your closet and who are you going to be today? A Snooty Socialite? An Avant-garde Art student? A Hobo Heiress?

I decided over the new few days to document these whims of mine seeing as in SL you can do anything to become someone else. Today I decided I wanted to be Eccentrically Elderly. An odd starting choice possibly but currently in RL I feel about 60 (those who know why I hope you think this is funny: P)

As you can see I’ve modded my shape a tad to add some jowls and look older. The skin aids to this a lot because of the heavy light shading on the brow and forehead. If anyone does decided to age it up I suggest only using 100% hand drawn skins as they blend better. I was finding other skins looked odd and patchy with eye bags added to my shape. Especially ones with Eye shadows stretched a bit funny

Society RL and SL defines attractiveness as youthful but I personally think there is an elegance in age. One that is killed as soon as you start to fight it. In SL I normally wear grey hair (in case you hadn’t noticed…) I always hope to carry this aging glamour through with it.

I thought the tiny clichéd dog was necessary it’s matched my somewhat bored and snooty face. Hopefully the dog will come in handy to attack the less fashionable. A good friend mariya gave that to me and I often carry a tiny dog/pet in SL for cute factor. Given their popularity in RL (*cough* Paris Hiltons tinkerbell were is it now?) they seem to be and unofficial handbag accessory for the overly wealthy and chic. At least the Virtual versions don’t need to have there poop cleaned up after (very unglamorous in my opinion)

The hair particularly mad, was a must have when I saw it. After watching a bumble and bumble video about their recent campaign with Stephen Jones (GENUIS) I’ve really got into hats and hair being mixed together. The flower broke up my tiny bowler hat from being to harsh and the bow almost adds and 80’s flair.

Onto the credits!

BlowPop Vixen

Hello all J this is my first real post on artist tea party so I hope you all like it. Although this is in the style of a simple outfit format blog type thingy (ohh technical). I really want to showcase how wonderful the new blowpop skin is. I figured as a few people have bloged it already I’d avoid all that technical poop and just got with “yeah it makes me look freeking hot, heck even I fancy me”



I never wear underwear much in SL due to a distinct lack of a Mr Grut but this outfit is slightly racy but still wearable without in my opinion being hooker bling-tard supercalfragilistic.

Ill start with the hair, this refuge style was one I believe I picked up in a sale a while back. I haven’t worn it till now. It came with a ponytail which I changed into a bun. Doing this to hair is something I do a lot. Personally I don’t see it as wrong its like customizing your clothes in RL. For doing this instead of rezzing it on the floor and unlinking it all which can be an thoroughly nasty process if your not great are fitting hair, The clear texture will be you friend. Instead of simply deleting primes just move the ones you don’t want and make them transparent.



The outfit its self is a mix of old school Dazzle and a freebie I picked up at thimbles on a recent pilgrimage. The dazzle skirt I should say is curtsey of Emma Gilmour who gave it to me at an inventory swap, I’m surprised she parted with it tbh it might be from before the land of flexi but I love it.



The skin as I mentioned before is the amazing new pre-release from blow pop. I’m in love with this skin personally. It’s a big change from my usual skins as well. I never go for nude makeup and generally avoid realistic skins. Blowpop has been a shop I’ve liked but never been able to get to fit my shape. This new addition officially breaks that cycle. All I would say is that the brows for me needed so careful modding and I’m slightly sad the brows aren’t tintable.

The headphones are from a shop I’m planning on doing a full blog post on. These truly amazing acceroise from La Petite Prince are all steam punk or neko themed. But mix with the right things is very wearable. The prim work on all the items makes them really stand out and everything is under 250l.

Ill finish by mentioning the shoes. Tesla in my opinion makes the cutest sculptie shoes in SL there fun AND sexy. This newest colour fatpack is no exception. Spring/summer colours bring this classic shape right on trend.

Eyes: GLANZ: Fresh Blue

Hair: Refuge: Chloe Silver (Modified)

Lashes: Cake: Bedroom Lashes

Gloves: Fleur/ Tap: Short Tan

Skirt: Dazzle: Mini Femme Fatale

Collar: Kyoot Army: Swirly Cyclone Black

Bra (worn under jacket): Love Lace: Rosesste Black

Skin: BLOWPOP: Tuesday Cream Plain (to be released)

Headphones: LPP: Art Deco Tasted Head Set

Jacket: Thimbles: Freebie Jacket in Black (yes FREE and there are a tone of colours)

Shoes: Tesla: Vixen 2 Fallow

I think that sums it up mostly so what have we learnt today children?

Blow pop skins rock my socks.

Now i must go back to my dungon, my gorean overlord is calling

Pochette

Embiggen for better look

The last few days I've been quite obsessed with this new short do by mana Grut of Pochette. Picked up on a whim after flicking through the feed, I was pleasantly surprised at how great it looks on, the texture's well done and while short, this is still a feminine style. When new styles came out yesterday I bought the lot, and love them. The only hiccup was getting the wig to fit without making it too big for my head.

Curious for more, I tp'd to the main store, which was a treat. Besides hair, mana also makes poses, clothes and accessories. I'd already bought the picnic rug a while ago and I love it, but I also picked up these cute blue gingham pyjamas, which come in four or five different colours. Cuteness reigns at Pochette, all the dresses and sweaters are very sweet and perfect for winter, with modest hems and warm fabrics.

Take a look around at mana's varied stock, in particular the Cabochon Necklace. I wish I'd gotten a picture but it's a loose pendant necklace and you have a choice from a few different picture options. I wish I'd had more time to really get in and have a good long browse, but I was lucky and for about the second time ever, won the lucky chair and scored some sweet blue knit socks with antique lace trim.

For product info, visit Pochette's blog.

TP to Pochette Main Store

Also wearing:

Socks by Corduroy - Argyle in White

Were up and running again!

Righto with mine and eyva slognish break even though weve been blogging a bit on this blog (its just be linked today yey!) and the ocasional post still on Style Advisory. I'm glad to announce we are now!


HERE!

The Reason for the name change was that me and eyva both feal there is more to SL than just fashion (dont cry please) and that alot of content creation and art is being over looked. Infact all this work feeds off each other so furniture is as relevent as shoes.

This blog will be showcasing wonderful flcikr snap we find and think are woth eveyone looking at, Explorers guides into sims we feal are well built and showcase real artisti talent. FASHION (well our rather large inveotry should be used for good and not evil), Art and other such items. I personaly would love to start talking about RL fashion as well a we bit but well see how the beast rolls

Till them heres a shiny image to draw you attention to the abouve text :)
Feal cheated slightly?

Image is by Moi: Marni Grut and yes i edited it, sue me :P

Been Around

I've been off here there and everywhere exploring and travelling the grid, and I just thought I'd share some pics of where I am and what I wore. These pictures have been modified in ps, as I've been learning how to blur a background. See if you think they worked out okay, I had a huge learning curve when I got photoshop last year and the sheer volume of tricks I know I have yet to learn is a little intimidating, but I'm getting there slowly. Anyway, these two photographs are intended to have a subtle blurring as the background is not that far behind the model.

This first shot is taken in Isle of Dreams, more of a date sim (music beware) but the fields looked very Sound of Music and that inspired a more wistful and innocent outfit choice. I began with the dress from <3 Cupcakes and my hair rose from artilleri, and it went from there.



The second shot was taken in ChouChou, a sim both celebrating music and offering some serious shopping. I fell for it immediately, wandering around and letting my twitchy camera finger go crazy, and then heading to the streets to shop, shop, shop. Besides a Grandma store, I found GiGi Couture, where I picked up these high waisted capris, which were included in the high waisted pants I purchased. Added to the Bazy skin I've been wearing non-stop, and an Armidi silk blouse, I felt very sophisticated.

Were Back Sorta (posted on bot style advisory and here)

I would like to first point out that this is ALL mariyas fault. Her new blog:Chigon

And also I have posted this here because mine and Eyva’s new blog artists tea party isn’t linked up yet :(. I don’t normally post just outfits but I thought it might be fun as this is a style of blogging that seems to work nicely.

Moving swiftly on to the outfit. This is an outfit that just clicked as soon as I saw this skirt. Its part of a dress from thimbles a shop I was recently introduced to (I know slow on the uptake or what). The top is an old favourite of mine from glam. I also used this bolero from the panther outfit from Timberry.

Timberry is a brilliant shop and well worth a look, run by my friend Vewitful young he really is pushing the female silhouette in SL which is uncommon territory. I love wearing bright colours with chunky thick tights. It keeps the look young and more modern. The shoes are some really old ones I found floating round the bedlam of my inventory.

I don’t normally wear MMS skins but I needed something that was clean and pretty so this was an obvious choice. Part of her new makeups the red tones worked well with the skirt. The hair I literly picked up just this second from Maitreya, I’m still not sure how iv missed it every time iv been in there but I guess you learn something new everyday.

Hair : Maitreya
Skin : Diva 6
Bolreo : Timberry
Top: Glam
Necklace: Miam Miam
Skirt : Thimbles
Clutch/Bag : +aya V+ AM
Tights : Glam
Shoes : 1800 Bettys

Righto I think that sums it all up…. If you cant wait until the next time I move my lazy bum and post something be sure to pick up the forth coming glam world issue I have a column in it that this month is on androgyny on men and woman.

Blogday Updates

- There more reasons to explore now than ever before, now Emvee Cuba has popped up. Built by Menno Ophelia and Colleen Desmoulins, wander around and take a look at the fantastic builds. There is currently a photo contest going until May 16th for high-res pics of the island, the winner will receive L$10000, a large print of their shot, and consideration for a spot in the sim gallery. If you're like me and have an acute flickr addiction this is right up your alley!

- Even if going to see a play in RL isn't your cup of tea, SL Shakespeare couldn't be more highly recommended. I'm looking forward to seeing the shows(currently playing is Act 3 Scene 2 from Hamlet), partly to see technically how they manage to pull it off, it seems like a massive challenge and should be quite entertaining.

- Bake Sale! Try and buy all things frosted and deadly at Koreshan Pointe this weekend with a huge variety of baked goods-themed fun-ness(it's a word now). Watermelon bags, poison cookies, jellybean necklaces, it's all a bit mad and it's all good fun!
