  • What I Like #73 May 16, 2012
    I love all sorts of photos and artworks created in Second Life, but the ones that stop me in my tracks most often are the simplest in composition, the closeup head shot. Usually there’s no set dressing, no complex background, nothing except a plain wall and an avatar.  What makes a good portrait?  The best […]

  • SO♥LD in SL: Let’s Play May 15, 2012
    Blacklace Lingerie has been around for ages and ages. I think my first lingerie in SL was from Blacklace in a newbie bag filled with goodies. Mariska is still going strong churning out pretty high quality lingerie in an environment where many old school store owners are finding it difficult to keep a foot hold […]

Triple Shot: faMESHed, Stumblebum & The Summer Beauty Festival

In case you didn’t know faMESHed, Stumblebum, and The Summer Beauty Festival are three events that kicked off, or in the case of Stumblebum renewed with fresh goodies, on May 1st. At some point over the next 2 or 3 weeks. I’ll give each event their own post, but I wanted to give a sample of what is available at all three events.

Aura is participating in both faMESHed and Stumblebum. The Class Act Jeans are available at faMESHed.  I am not usually a fan of bell bottom jeans but I think these are just too cute. I love the texturing and the little pattern on the side. These jeans also make me very happy that waxing is not necessary in SL. The Class Act Jeans leave very little margin for error. The Boho Ruffle Tops are available in seven colors for Stumblebum, and are discounted 25% off during the duration of this round.

Summer Strawberry

I’m in between events at the moment. In the coming weeks I have 3 different events I’ll be covering. FaMEShed which starts May 1st; Summer Beauty Festival also starting May 1st; and Culture Shock that starts May 4th. The downtime gave me a chance to go through some recent purchases that I have not had a chance to wear or blog. The Sushmita Mesh Maxi in Dragonfruit from Bilo is currently available at The Dressing Room until Thursday, for only L$70. This is a limited edition color and won’t be available again.

Rain Down On Me

LISP Bazaar has the cutest parasols and umbrellas at this month’s Collabor88. The package comes with both umbrella’s and parasols, six, one for each static pose. Each umbrella and parasol come with about 20 texture change options. There is also one umbrella and parasol you can use with your AO.
We took pics for this at the Mayfair Sim home to main stores for Mon Tissu ahd Celoe. I tried to get a nice rain effect going and to make it look darker,  my PS skills are far from good. But I think I did ok. Still not happy with the rain though, but you get the picture.

Newness from Coldlogic and Frooti

There are only two stores that I jump for joy when I see there are new mesh releases.  If you read my previous posts you know that Coldlogic is one of those stores.  I have confidence in the brand and the quality of clothes. Enough confidence that I know I can buy without a demo. That is saying alot, if you’ve read my many rants on mesh “standard sizing”. Their latest release includes the May capri pants. May comes in several bright spring colors and has a soft pin stripe. I paired May with the previous release, the Tebbets tank top. As usual with Coldlogic both pieces come with several different texturing and color options to chose.

Around the Way Girl

Sometimes the concept for an outfit starts with the accessories. In this case, the Wasabi Pills Lola hair in conjuction with the Mandala tuekmono mesh earrings (available at TDR until Thursday), made me think of the song Around the Way Girl and the look that can go with being an “around the way girl”. I grabbed this outfit called Head Check from AlterEgo which is a new store for me, and they have some pretty cute outfits.

Dangerous

Ok maybe not… but I can dress the part pretty well and manage to look sexy all at once.  I had help achieving the dangerous aspect, thanks to my friend Bouncer Criss owner of Bounce This Poses, I got these awesome gun poses. In the first pic I’m using one of the poses from the Girls Gun Pose Pack. This comes with 4 poses and 2 Desert Eagles courtesy of Epic Arsenal. The guns are color change by touch menu.

Detours

Over the past weeks a few things have happened that made me toy with the idea of taking a different direction in my usual style.  I’ve been blogging fashion for almost 4 years. In the past 2 I’ve tried to gravitate toward a style that was more “acceptable” in the mainstream fashion community. As mesh fashion becomes more and more popular, I find that I’m giving up more of what I like and what is Lourdes in order to fit in.  So, I’m taking a step away from all that and taking a detour. I’m going to experiment in a different style.

Detours

Don’t get me wrong I love mesh; hair, shoes, eyes, lashes and various accessories. When it comes to clothes, I’ll be far more discriminating. After all we wear the clothes, the clothes shouldn’t wear us.
