Today that the throng has finally cleared at LeLutka, the order of the day when going to shop the new summer release was for me not to splurge too much, so I zeroed in on just these two items, a pair of shorts and a jacket, but I can well predict that I am not going to take this outfit off for at least a week.

The Safari pants are entirely sculpted and are to be worn with an alpha layer. I’d had my eye on them since seeing the teaser last week, but worried about how wearable they would be. It turns out the shorts worked really with all of my AO’s and with most of the poses I tried during my shoot as well. And in the few instances where a bit of skin showed, it wasn’t anything too dramatic anyway and was easily fixed. If you’ve not been entirely convinced by other shorts in the past that were constructed similarly, give those a try anyway. Plus there’s a demo, so there’s nothing to hold you back from trying out for yourself. And because of the way the design flares out around the thighs, I found no issue with walking around with those shorts either (not unless you have a really goofy walk).

Now I tend to generally stay away from leather jackets and blazers too, because I don’t like wearing chest attachments too much, but I absolutely had to have the My Way jacket as soon as I saw it. It fit me right out of the box, and I love wearing it !

The Mini skin that is being released this Saturday at Laqroki could hail a return for Mallory Cowen to the very natural, matte-looking faces of her early “Portrait” line. The “Glow” skins of recent years have habitually had more shine to them, and don’t normally include bare lips versions, which I’m a sucker for ! Mini has such a sweet look, and I love her sweet, natural lips.

As usual, Mini is offered in a pack of 10 make-up versions. I just dressed up the natural base a bit with an eyeliner tattoo from Pididdle and freckles from Très Blah and I’m set !

Also I’m all over this bag now from Milk Motion that I’ve been coveting for weeeeks ! The textures are great and its overall look and design are so casual, just like what’d I’d use in real life. Second Life handbags are sometimes a little too elaborate or fancy or don’t feel too much like me, but this one kind of does. It’s out at the The Dressing Room Blue this week-end for a bargain. Go get it !

I’m a sucker for afros and otherwise big, curly black hairstyles, and this is my latest favourite ! It comes from MrS, a shop I don’t think I knew before. A shop with a three-letter name. That brings me to something I’ve been meaning to bring up for a long time. Do you know how hard it is to find a three-letter name store in search ? Well, I don’t know about you but I usually don’t have a lot of luck with those. And it’s especially harder if you do not list your shop in search ! And worse if the only person who knows the shop and that can help you… misspelled your name ! You know who you are. Please, if you can, check that little box here to list your shop ! It’ll cost you 30L a week, but it does wonders, I promise you that.

On another note… again these wedges, you might say ? Well, it’s been rather summerish here lately, and somehow only these peeptoes feel right at the moment. ❤

Behold, the tank to end all tanks. The most beautiful back ever drawn, I am never going to need another. And it’s a freebie ! From Pig, at The Free Dove. I love this colour too, and I had completely forgotten about that freebie place. If you love this tank, like I do, it’s also been made in other colours, to be found at the Pig mainstore. The teal tank is part of a whole free outfit, and there’s one for men too.

I got one of Toast Bard’s skins at the Tableau Spring Color Festival; I really loved this lipstick colour and was hoping I might be able to wear the skin without the fancy facial paint — I did like the whole-make-up too, really, but I was glad that the skin does come with and without it, and with different eyebrow colours, too. Other freebies here include the shades from Epoque; there’s a joining fee for the VIP group, but it is just 125L. The big amethyst ring is a gift from House Of Fox. It’s called the April gift, so maybe it’ll be out for all of April ? It’s just at the entrance, in a box. The colour was perfect to use in this post !

Wearing the new Sasha face here, that will be released tomorrow at Vive9 ! Tierra was one of the two tones I liked best, along with Amber. Each make-up option comes with or without teeth and there are lots of variations to create with eyebrows, eyeliners and lipsticks available on tattoo layers. Here I liked most the face without eyebrows, very bare and free of colours.

You might know Azure Electricteeth of the very cute blog Pombon. She is launching next week-end a new brand that she has been working on for a few months, LaViere. There is an entire clothing line to boot, but she’ll also have furniture out for sale. The whole sim is very cute and sort of avant-garde, with some very modern, colourlful and well-baked stores and other outlets. Some teasers here include the skirt above, and the two dresses at the bottom.

Love this cute little bag from Tokidoki with its quaint design, and also the one below from So Many Styles !

For a limited time only, these espadrilles from Gos can be had at a discount on xstreet. I don’t know their regular price, but for 100L, I had to have ! Hence the quickie post. And… if you’re tired of seeing Lamb hairstyles on me, well tough luck, I hardly want to wear anything else anymore !

I think the Berthold and Borghild hats will be seen a lot, as well as the Barbro belt, shown above and below, and the Itagui belt and Ruiz bag were also last minute favourites of mine as well (seen in baby blue in the last look). Many items have colour-changeable parts, such as the shirt flung over the Birger bag below, or the scarves tied around the hats.
