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

A lot of new stuff released at various places, today: Sand Shack Surf co., Emery, Mimikri and bijou. The green skirt is actually not part of the new batch of releases at Emery but this is what I felt like wearing. Also, this cute lil’ backpack I’ve had my eye on for some time, but eventually forgot to grab after not logging on for a while, from HOC Industries, otherwise known as this amazing store with the awesome sculpted stuff for under 30L  or free (and they don’t have just clothes). Ooh, and again, if you don’t read the asides, P-K is closing soon and there’s a clearance sale going on at both these locations: Cupcake and Rue d’Antibes.

Jennie is the latest face released at Laqroki. And oh my god, hello cuteness! Here she is in the peach tone, and she is absolutely adorable, comes with blonde or brown eyebrows, and in eight make-ups: four dainty, natural ones, and four with slightly more forward lip shades for your dressed-up moods. Here’s for a close-up!

The Zooby’s pug carrier is more popular but being a cat lady I adored this cat as soon as I saw it a few days ago, and had to have it! I love it more than even the napping or walking versions. Somehow it looks way companionable. I was also on just in time for these sandals, newly released at Coco. Close-up here. The tinting menu is handy enough, I just wish it could affect both feet at the same time, instead of having to tint each one individually. But the shoe itself looks really quite fantastic.

Like every creator with a modicum of talent, and Shade Throne owner has tooons, Undo Hermano has fallen prey to evil, mean copybotting, and as a result is currently going through the ‘I want to close down and quit’ phase. Please, help ease her hurt by buying plenty of her gorgeous stuff at her mainstore.

Apparently, La Besace has finally opened, I’m not sure when, but today I went to pick up a few items. I dearly wish those could have come modifiable so that I could remove the full-bright option. Personally, I find it makes things look less natural as it removes all the shadows, and makes it all, you know, bright ? That said, those bags are very interesting, and more remarkably, they come with the best functionalities I have seen in a handbag so far. The crocodile cabas can be worn over the shoulder, the forearm or on the hand, and each option has their own three very loveable animations. Sitting will trigger its own overrider as well. Same for the pochette bag which can be worn under the arm or on the hand. In passing, the coloured pochette bags are much nicer than the black one I chose to feature, and are adorned with yummy flowers instead of the bow. La Besace also has shoes, more particularly, some really cute summery wedges.

Also, Glow Studio has new glasses and eyelashes today, and the teary-eyed mascara set is a dollarbie at the moment. Very nice! And I instantly looooved those BlingBling Shades, but rest assured, they don’t actually bling.

Lastly, SteinWerk has released these Fee sunglasses, which are on every level absolutely perfect! The design is very fashion and high-end, go demo them and just look at the branches! Like every pair of shades from SteinWerk, they come with a customising, resizing menu that also has a handy button to move them up or down your nose. I think they are now my favourite pair from there!

I did not log on with a very particular idea as to what to blog about today but fortunately I had a bunch of stuff backlogged I’d been wanting to cover for about a week or so, and wheee, I think I managed to sort of throw them together.

First off, a few more accessories from +plus, which has a very wide assortment of stylish, flawlessly executed handbags, necklaces, belts, and so on. I’d been postponing going to the shop to procure new things to feature because from the pictures on Helena’s blog, I had assumed I would ruin myself if I rushed there. Well, actually I wouldn’t have! Her items are surprisingly friendly considering the quality of her products, so you don’t have to hold off buying things in several colours to be sure you can match them with your outfit. Another reason to love +plus, that and also Helena Compton is an absolute darling! And believe me, I’m trying to contain myself here, because I already spent most of my afternoon privately gushing to myself over some of my friends.

Now, check those aviators from SteinWerk ! I instantly fell for them, and think they may be the best aviators I have stumbled upon to date, though I’ll have to give Emery’s a try sometime. I asked their creator to give me more of her stuff so I could show off some more items on the blog, so here are also the Scarlet glasses, the Nightstalker leather strap watch, and the Steam Machine, which can also look like you’re carrying a ticking little bomb on your wrist. And yes, I’m getting a kick out of that.

The brown double leather wrist strap is a freebie I just picked up at MM’s, the workmanship on that seems to me equal to everything else covered in this post, and I’m loving it.

Warmest thanks to the couple of awesome creators lately who have been willing to give me some of the items I wanted to cover here!
