An Announcement

Hi, all. This is a sad post, as it is my last. I realized I need to do something more productive with my life. My time in world was a blast. Time to move on to bigger and better adventures. I'll keep the blog up in case someone stumbles upon it.

The Many Sides of Lola: Quirky

Today's look is Quirky. It's inspired by Euni Kira(http://eunikira.wordpress.com/) and the Japanese style. It quirky, funky and a little wierd. I like it.


The start of this outfit was the hair: A place to call home in Chocolate Cake by Clawtooth by Clawtooth. It comes with a bird that stands on the edge of the nest. I am obviously not wearing them. Then I got dress from Parallel Love. It's a fun, cute, comfy dress that comes in a plethora of colors. Here's the Mustard color. I topped it off with an oldie: nikukyu fur vest from a past hunt.

At this point, I was feeling a bit bare. So I threw on my Aoharu ripped skinny jeans. I still didn't feel like this outfit was unique enough, so I put my new floral dress from Aoharu under my yellow dress. I love the cute floral print.

Glasses are a big part of Japanese SL style, so I jetted to DUBOO for some. I opted for Grandpa's Broken Glasses in brown. I love the name of them. Just to be ironic, I'm wearing the Bird Ring from Paper Couture. It's really cute, but I couldn't resist. The necklace, called Fishnet Wrapped Pearls in Cream, are also from Paper Couture.

The shoes are Maitreya's Allure tights. The tights color is a grey called Powder, and I changed the shoe color to Bordeaux.

The makeup is a yellow, to match the yellow dress. To add a little more color, I added the Orange lipstick.

The Many Sides of Lola: Couture

Haute Couture, according to Wikipedia, is defined as high fashion, custom-fitted clothing. A few fashion houses, like Chanel, Dior, and Givenchy, are part of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, and may legally call themselves Haute Couture. The term is used loosely throughout the fashion world.

Although this outfit isn't custom made for me, I took pieces of two outfits to make a look worthy of a House of Haute Couture.

I started with the Light Dress from !Ohmai, but wanted to break it up. I didn't want to wear the whole outfit. I loved the collar, so I knew I wanted to wear that. To incorporate it on LeLutka's Prison skirt, I added the skirt flowers from the Light Dress.

The makeup is Lola (of course), and in the gorgous blue makeup of makeup6. I also have the black lipstick on from Lola, which I love for this look. I felt like te outfit needed a bit more color, so the blue makeup is perfect. The hair is an oldie but a goodie from !lamb.
The Bird Tale lashes from Glam Affair adds some drama to my beautiful face.

And just for fun, I decided to play on te merry-go-round on the Artilleri sim.Weee!

The Many Sides of Lola: Classic

The Classic style is characterized as blazers, button down shirts, and slacks. In high school, that was pretty much my dress code, so I try to avoid them. But I love a challenge.
A Classic staple is the button down. Mine is the *COCO* Broadcloth Shirt in White. Another Classic staple is the blazer. I used *Luster's Frida blazer in Noir. I modded the cuffs to make it look like the white cuffs are over the black cuffs. The bottoms are the slate coloring of the Jump Her! wide pants from Veschi.

The belt is from Fri.Day, and matches the lipstick from LeLutka. The hair is from LeLutka also, and comes with the new Lola skins.

The Many Sides of Lola

Todays look is Boho. Boho, as everyone knows, is short for Bohemian. According to Wikipedia, Bohemian is used to describe a group of people who are artistic and earthy. In recent years, the style has become more chic, thanks to stars like Sienna Miller and the Olsen twins.

My interpretation of the Boho style uses, and almost abuses, Zaara. The Indian goddess' creations make up almost all of my outfit. The slightly-new Syona Kurta is on top, in maroon. The Chindar pants in brown offer some modesty from the high leg slit. Both items are well done, with some of the best wrinkles and folds I've seen. The Boho style is known to use accessories, and I didn't want to miss out on that action. The necklace is from Zaara, and is called Karmuka. It is available in two versions: a coral and turquoise version, and a wooden version, which I am using to incorporate the brown of the Churidar pants.

I am also using Fashionably Dead's Hair Stuff in Kill The White Swan. This is actually the only item in my outfit that I didn't buy today. It was the inspiration for my purchases today, and for this Boho look. To pull in the dark brown from one of the feathers, I got something I'll be using in RL all summer: Indie Sandals by C'est Moi! It has a cute little ruffle, which I love.
For my Boho look, I used Makeup 2 from Lola. To keep the look from being too high fashion, I used the Natural Matte lipstick tattoo, which is included. I think the dark tone, which I am wearing, is a little light. Not to say I don't like it; just the past pictures of it showed up a bit darker. The fatpack of 8 makeups, 11 lipstick tattoos, two hairs, 8 of the same makeups with hairbases, two pubic hair options, two cleavage options, and a pair of eyelashes costs L$5000. That's great news when one makeup costs over $L1000.
Peace!

Let's Go Fly a Kite

One of my favorite things to do during the summer is go to the beach. And my family loves to fly kites on the beach. So I employed Adorkable Poses' Kite pose from The Deck anniversary. Instead of wearing a bathing suit, I used [DECOY]'s Zafrina dress. I got it in Earth, but it comes in three more color combos. I love the summery look of this dress. It's just so cute.

Look Ma, no shoes! I decided not to wear shoes, just because I'm at the beach. I don't like wearing shoes.

For my hair, I wanted to stick with the casual look. So I used an old favorite: Truth in Izzy. Izzy is a cute side pony.

Also, I want Lola! I can't wait for LeLutka's new Lola skins! I need her!

My Day Off

I thought I'd do a cute, casual look. Something for summer.

I started with this cute dress from LeLutka, called Kaori. This is something I'd really love to wear in RL. The hair is a cute look from !lamb, called I'm a realist. It's cute and casual. Just perfect for this look. The skin is from Cupcakes, and this time I didn't use the cleavage skin. i didn't want this look to be sexy.

Enjoy.
