Casual Bunneh!

This didn't start out to be a bunny outfit, it just sort of turned out that way. I started with this absolutely adorable top from LINE. I just frickin' love it and I plan to go back and get some more colors. It was easy to fit and just so darned cute. ( I did make my butt smaller to fit it since nobody was gonna be able to really see my butt anyway under the long shirt.)

 I originally was going to wear a skirt under it but then I realized that most skirts were either gonna look too long or else too short. But *fortunately* I had just bought these cutiepie lace leggings from G. Field at their red and white sale. I was so happy because the leggings go perfectly with the top in a way I wouldn't have anticipated until I put them on together. I love the little ruffle and ribbon details on the cuffs of the leggings too.

I knew immediately that I wanted to wear this jewelry set with the outfit. A few days ago while on my casual jewelry hunt, I ended up at this lovely little shop called Love Always. The shop specializes in jewelry for children but everything comes with resizers so with a couple of clicks it fit me fine. The little ribbons are color change also so you can get just the right color to match your outfit. Precious! It's called the Giddy (Hearts) set.

The hair I'm wearing is the subscribomatic gift in all colors from Catwa hair. Catwa has become one of my favorite stores for hair because they make styles that are different and also because they still make flexi hair. \o/. My first avatar was born when flexi hair was brand new on the grid. I remember when hair stuck out behind you like some crazy shaped wing or train. It was, to quote one of my all time favorite girl movies, "a (brown) football helmet" for hair. And, oftentimes, sculpted hair reminds me of the old days instead of new days, because it too often looks a lot like you're wearing a nicely shaped and textured football helmet, or perhaps your hair has been sprayed into fear of its life if it moves LOL. I don't know! But it is not attractive to me! So anyway, I love this hair and as of last night it was still in the som and you should go grab it. And no, it doesn't have the giant bow headband! It's called Carolena and I am wearing it in the Creamy Toffee shade.

I am wearing the Ebba skin from Laqroki with this outfit, in Peach and I bought a new shape from Pekka called Brenda which I then modded. I love the face shape though and I didn't touch that at all, And I also love the fey look to the eyes though I widened them somewhat over where they were set. I really like Pekka's shapes, even though I'm too much of a fiddler not to mod them to suit myself. I'm sorry! No offense to your art, I swear!

I have to admit too that as much as I love Mock Cosmetics, I went astray because I was looking for a particular look in eye makeup and couldn't find it. I managed to put my foot in my mouth all the way up to my knee while doing it because I complained to a friend " who wears eyeshadow all around the eye like a raccoon!" and she promptly told me, "I do!". Well silly me. *facepalms* LOL. Fortunately she's a sweetie and didn't kill me on the spot.

At any rate I found what I was looking for on marketplace from (Ag) cosmetics which I then went to the Kozmetika store to buy. Such a great idea, lots of make up in one place! I ended up buying all the eyeshadows that (Ag) had. I then added the clear juicy gloss from the Elly Skin (Pink Fuel) skins because I felt like the eyes were the thing and I didn't want the lip color to fight with it. I also added a layer of mascara and liner from Boom, the Love My Eyes set in Thick. This  (Ag) eyeshadow is in the Tropical Shadows set and is called Sun Conure. The whole set is super cheap.

Shoes at least were an easy choice because Nardcotix is having their fabulous 70 percent off sale which made these Anessa style shoes in Teal less than 200L. Be still my heart!

Now for that hair bow. The Mock Cosmetics chat is a wonderful chat. We talk about all kinds of stuff in there, where to find things, not only at the Mock store but in other places so naturally I asked, hey where can I get a hairband that has a bow on it? I got an answer, a few of them in fact, and one of them was Toki Doki. I liked the sound of the name so off I went. It's called the Side Headband.

ZOMG! What a cute store! And what cute stuff! The headbands are to the right of the entrance and they are available from the gacha machines or you can buy singles or you can buy a whole pack. I pounced on this giant one as the perfect thing to go with the rest of the ensemble. I did tint it a little bit to make it a bit more matchy matchy with the rest of the outfit, but it's mod so that's easy to do.

I wanted some  new nails to go with this, though I love my Mandala long nails as the go to set. I just wanted something different so I was pointed to Candy Nail. This is the Air Nail set in Blue. It's not a perfection match but it's very close and I liked it with the rest of the look.

Last but not least I added some nipple tape in white from an outfit I have from Sakide called Unzip Me Dress. I am just not comfortable with my pixel nipples showing, I don't know why!

So Bummed Out Right Now :/

I hope you all had a good New Years, none the less.

Here's what's got me upset. I downloaded the new update for Exodus and everything was pretty good, but I go to take pictures and I get these lines, really faint but there across the picture in squares and I'm also having trouble getting good details on things like jewelry.

So do not want. But I don't really think it's the viewer, except maybe the lines thing. I think it's something i'm setting wrong but I don't know what it is. Sigh.

I have to go out and do some shopping and stuff like that. Don't want to do that either. At any rate, here's one picture I was semi happy with and the credits.

 

 

This outfit comes in separates so you can wear both pieces with other things. Both are from Fishy Strawberry and I just love the comfy look and great color. The skirt is called the Aragon Skirt and the top is called Lace Details top. I think I tried to buy out the shop there when I went!

This skin is new to me, called Emma from Lara Hurley skins and it's in the Tan Natural. (I also bought the same skin in the pale because i liked it so much)  I have one complaint about Lara Hurley skins and that is that she does not give you a cleavage skin but rather a cleavage layer. Cleavage layers are okay but they do take up space you could be using for lipstick or hair base or something.

I've been reading a lot of blogs recently and I found out about Dura Hair from one of them, naturally I had to see for myself. This is a cute and simple updo called Dura Girl 22 in blonde.

I went on a "Casual" Jewelry hunt the last few days and ended up, among other places, at Je Suis and I just fell in love with several pieces from there. This is the Aimee Necklace and Earrings. They are totally texture change on the color of the hearts, color of the metal, color of the cords, really a lot of bang for the Lindens.

And finally, I took advantage of the vip half price sale at Purrfect 10 and got several items, these are the Persephone boots in white.

Santa Baby

So first post, it's almost Christmas and everyone in Second Life seems to be wearing flashing lights, red and green and antlers on their heads. I figured I'd get into the fun. I got the tip for this outfit from StrawberrySingh.com - It's a cutie pie outfit from Bare Rose, costs all of 170L or thereabouts and comes with three colors - red, green and pink. I snapped it up asap.

The boots are from Bax, of course, the special holiday prestige boot set. 395 for three colors and the perfect fit as usual. And yes, they are "boots with the fur." LOL

The skin is the brand new one from Al Vulo, I am so in love with Hlin's skins, and this one has some nice options I haven't seen from Al Vulo previously. You get both blonde or dark brown versions in this, with or without hair base, plus a choice of several lovely lipstick tats and some really new and interesting makeups. I'm wearing Sakia, Smokey, blonde brows, no hairbase, of course cleavage though it's not really showing in this pic. It's only available in Bronze at the moment, I generally prefer a lighter skin tone but the skin was too pretty and had too many great options not to go with it.

The hair is Carrie from Action hair and is one of the best hairs I think Action has released in a while. I'm not a big fan of the helmet head thing that seems to happen a lot with hair that's primarily sculpty and though Action uses a head lock to keep from messing up your hair, the head lock reminds me of wearing a neck brace. Not a good memory! I'm wearing Carrie in Dirty Blonde

My main shape is Nelly from Salt and Pepper though I've modded her a bit. I really like the shapes from Salt and Pepper however, and am contemplating buying a few more!

Nails - these are the mandala super long nails set to red.

I'm kinda bummed, I'm using Firestorm and for some reason I'm seeing a lot of tiny prim fade out from a distance. This necklace set from Purple Moon is so cute, silver reindeer with ruby accents. But in my pics you can't see the accents because of this fade out problem. So annoying. (This set is only available at Tropicalia Bazaar at the moment)

All the poses here are by Purple Poses. I had a few problems in some cases with my poses wanting to stretch textures in a funny way, but for the most part I really liked them and you can't beat 90l for a pack of 10 poses with a stick.

Makeup layers - I'm wearing the cherry lipstick that came with the Sakia skin, but I also added the venetian red mizu gloss layer from Mock cosmetics - I cannot live with out my mizu glosses, and I added the liquid glaze black liner from Boom as well for a little more definition.
