Bringing out the good stuff in Second Life®: fashion, hot spots, freebies, etc.

Mauve was released yesterday at Dutch Touch and I’m loving its smattering of brunette freckles ! I am very taken with those as I don’t think I have seen that type of freckles on too many faces before, they’re kinda in your face and random and quirky which is a total winner with me, though I also love that you can choose to wear the skin without them too for a very smooth, pure face (depending on whether you’re in a dramatic or a sweet mood). Both options have such a drastically different look that it’s almost like two faces to me. This line comes in 14 make-ups and 5 tones (shown here are the two paler ones: Cotton and Cream).

I updated my theme so that I may post wider images in the future (which may break the layout of some feeds as most have a maximum width of about 550px just like my old archives used to, so I’ll have to consider asking to be removed from them). The frontpage is also simpler now and may facilitate the blogging of individual items as putting an outfit together almost daily is actually pretty taxing!

I got super excited today when I saw that Mallory had updated the Lacie skin from her Portrait line (these are the skins she started her RaC brand with). I wore the older Lacie skin and no other for about six months straight last year, and I really loved its intense eyes and sweet birdy lips. The new version is super detailed, higher resolution, and features very realistic lips and a new more defined nose that is still incredibly sweet and delicate. This time, Lacie comes in 8 make-ups, 4 tones, has only dark brown eyebrows, but offers a hairbase option. See for yourself at Laqroki !

The first Designers United event organised by Lu Waffle and Nil Giha launched just today, and will last 10 days, featuring various fashionable items designed around the theme of the jellyfish by the likes of creators from This is a Fawn, Sugarcube, Niniko, Glow Studio, Twee, Ohmai, Waffle, etc. Those are exclusive creations and will only be available for purchase during this time!

There is a lot to see, and some pieces are pretty amazing. Most of all, I was completely taken with the hat that Apatia Hammerer made, under her Pig brand, which I’ve been wearing since yesterday and will likely continue to wear for some time. It’s just hilarious and awesome to have on. I already liked the idea of this bi-monthly event from Nil and Lu, but now I’m psyched it happened just so this hat would be made.  There are also some really lovely dresses, three of which I chose to wear here, but there’s more, some jewelry from LaGyo and Shade Throne, and two very sweet skins from JM:MAI that I thought complemented the outfits I wore very well.

I hope nobody will mind the heavy black and white treatment too much, but I kind of really liked it. Click here for a color face shot of the JM:MAI skin. And you can view everything by yourself at the event location. Go now, it’ll be gone soon!

Everything shown here is from the Designers United event, including the poses (Nil Giha), but not the long braided hair which is from Hair Solutions (Kia Goodliffe), the gloves from a.C (CheerNo Destiny), and the shoes, from Bella Donna (Erpla Prieto).

Built by Menno Ophelia and Colleen Desmoulins in 2008, Emvee Cuba was the second sim to ever rock my socks off (right after the Mexican themed Tableau from 2007, of course).

Note, the pose that comes with the bag is not the same as pictured here, but the bag’s modifiable and is only 10L. Also everything is currently 100L at DIVERSITY HAIR, so you can get any style in packs of 4 or 5 shades, including one that mixes blonde, dark and red together.
