Koty's Back!

I'm back from Florida! I got sunburned, but that's okay. So I'm dressed in comfy airplane clothes.

The hair is a cool find from my Library folder. Apparently, we were given a bunch of wigs, and I was trying them out. A bun is good for the airplane because your hair isn't in your face. The dress is from This is a Fawn, and it is really cute. The vest is from Whippet & Buck, and ties the whole look together.

Happy Passover!

I'm going to Florida! The occassion is Passover, when we celebrate escaping Egypt. We sit down for a seder, which means order in Hebrew, but is essentially a dinner. We describe the Exodus of the Jews out of Egypt and out of slavery.


I decided to do two looks; a beach/pool look and a casual look.

First, the beach look.


The bikini is a freebie from Fri.Day, and I think it's really cute. It's perfect for hanging at the beach or pool.

One of our favorite things to do is to go to Cheeburger, Cheeburger when we're in Florida. It's a resturaunt that is '50's themed, and has salads and burgers, among other delisous dishes.

I think something like this is fun to wear to Cheeburger, Cheeburger. This dress is a This is a Fawn gift. It may or may not still be available. I love the gradient from white to blue, and I love love love the bow. Look out for it in future posts.

Well, Happy Passover. See you when I get back!

Spring has Sprung

I'm ready for spring already! Too much snow for me, thank you very much. But it's still a bit chilly. Rainy, more like. So, I'm not wearing anything too springy, but nothing is too wintery.
Right after a season of snowstorms, right when you want the sun the most, it starts to rain.

The basis of this outfit are the socks and the headband, both from KENZIE&CO. Kenzie Craven, of KENZIE&CO., decided to fill her Subscribe-O with new gifts, including the socks and the headband. The headband comes in two more colors. Kenzie also gave us a blue bandeu top, an awesome printed bubble skirt, and a cute tshirt. Just go to her main store, hit the subscribe-o, then hit the envelope box.
I'm so sorry about the blurriness. I couldn't get my pants to fully rezz!
I wanted to stay with the colors pink and green, so I searched through my wardrobe. I found a green belt from Fri.Day, which was, and still is, a freebie, as is my tank. To cover up, I brought out my cardigan from Artilleri. The shoes are, of course, from Tesla.

The Fashionable Elf

This little elf needs some fashion!
And I got it. The skirt is a gift from *COCO*, and it is wonderful. The lace texture is so well done, I swear I could reach out and touch it! It's so chic, I couldn't find a shirt to match the fashion, so I didn't. The hair I matched is the !lamb group gift. To give this outfit some color, I used a *CUPCAKES hunt gift called Raspberry in the Sambuca tone. Mmmm, raspberries.
The shoes are the ever-chic Tesla, and the ears are *UB*. Do you like my shape? It's new. I decided that I needed to be a bit fleshier. I think my ears go very well with my curvy shape. I've named it Lena, because it's my RL middle name. It's not for sale, but if you'd like it, feel free to contact me.

P.S. I'm working on a Fantasy Faire post! Keep your eyes peeled!

Mermaids, Vampires and Elves, Oh My!

These and more will be represented at the nine sim-wide Fantasy Faire. Nine sims, all themed to fit a certain genre, will be filled to the brim with fantasy creators. Proceeds will benefit the Relay for Life, as with many other Fairs. And is it ever Fair season! The Accessory Fair is wrapping up, the Clothing Fair wasn't long ago, and the Pose Fair is very soon. The Fantasy Faire kicks off on April 16.


I had the great pleasure of talking to Luna Barak, owner and creator of Fantavatar and Moonstruck, and a sponsor of the Faire. Fantavatar is complete fantasy avatars, while Moonstruck concentrates on fantasy costumes.
When Luna first rezzed, she enjoyed roleplaying in Medieval/Fantasy sims. After a while, she felt the creators itch, and decided to design medieval and fantasy clothes and armor, branding it Moonstruck. Then, she decided to make full fantasy avatars under the brand FANTAVATAR. She says the goal of FANTAVATAR is to provide roleplayers with a wide range of well-made, high-quality fantasy avatars.

FANTAVATAR and Moonstruck are both on Luna's sim, called FANTAVATAR. Along with her stores, there is a historical fantasy market, full of amazing creators in the genre, and boat tours and myserious caves for exploring and a theatre for musical events.

Luna's most recent project is the HISTORICAL REVIEWS MAGAZINE. It is a magazine that focuses on "historical and fantasy themes in Second Life, giving space to all the people who are contributing to these themes with educational or commercial purposes. This magazine is intended as a service for all those who love the historical fantasy themes, letting them know, through articles and interviews, about new places for exploring and the many talented creators working all over the grid."
She participated in Fantasy Faire 2009; she did so to make her brand more well known. When she discovered that the Faire was connected to RFL, it made it even eaisier to join. Luna decided to be a sponsor this year because she wanted to be even more involved.

I'm Back!

And ready for action!

This outfit centers around the hair, which I got today as a gift from !lamb. The gift was given in Ink, which I'm wearing, and Powder. I love this hairstyle. It's fashiony, but still is a little dorky.


The shoes I'm wearing are from Duh!, and they are great. I love the color, and the details are great. I think this is an overall fun, stylish, casual look.

Duh, I Love Shoes!

Wasn’t that word really popular in the ‘90’s? I know I said it a lot.
The Dove White Moccasins from Duh!
I made a trip to Duh! for their new Skosh boots, and ended up loving the whole store. There is a great variety of shoes for girls, and a men’s section. There are boots, sexy heels, moccasins, heels, flats, sandals, and so much more. There are three Lucky Chairs, with unisex while moccasins, whomen’s pink Skosh boots, and a really high top sneaker. Dollarbies are available: a unisex emerald green moccasin, men’s white Skosh boots, and women’s berry Skosh boots. The footwear is also very affordable; I think the most expensive shoes are somewhere around L$100!

So, I’m all dressed for shopping! I wanted to be comfortable, and what doesn’t say comfortable like overalls! These overalls are a *COCO* gift. I’m wearing the Dark Blue version, but it comes with a Light Blue and a regular Blue version, too. Just join the group, and head over to the gift wall in-store. My comfy little shirt is the Capsleeve Tee from Fri.Day in the Halloween Purple tone. I got it during a hunt, so I don’t know if this color is available. I love it though! I wear it so much, that if it were in real life, it would be in shreds. The moccasins are from the Duh! Lucky Chair. There is a women’s version and a men’s version included. For each gender, though, there is a left shoe that has a walking sound and an AO. The women’s AO is a sexy walk, but I don’t know what the men’s is. Go look for yourself! I’ve included the SURL in the Style Notes. The hair is a cute pigtails look from Truth. I got it from that random person who asked me if I wanted freebies, so I don’t even know if it’s labeled right. The pose is from *Sh33k Poses and is a dollarbie.
The skin I’m in, of course, is from *CUPCAKES. It is the freckled version of the Daydream line in the Ebony makeup in the tone of Sambuca. I don’t know many chocolates that are freckled, but I love it. The eyes are my usual, the Aegean line in the shade of Delphi from *Zanzo*. My shape is a modified version of the Expo Gift Edition from Silhouette Shapes.


Also, I’m going to start blogging for the Fantasy Faire. It is a gathering of all fantasy-related creators for a few weeks, and it looks like it’ll be great. There will be performances, and so much more. I know, I know; fantasy isn’t really the fashion you want to be hearing about. Just bear with me. You’ll find something you love, whether it be a mermaid tale or a full dragon avi. The Faire will benefit the Relay for Life.

A Quickie

Just a photo of me in a field.

And a question. Pose makers? Any ideas? I want a free pose maker, please. I really want Avimote PoseMaker. But it costs money. So any ideas?

The Wonder of It All

There, have a random title. Right now, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out a shape for myself.
Therefore, I'm bringing out all my shapes to help myself decide.
This is called [barcelona] from [mayflower] via DSN. I don't like the mean look on her face. Plus, I think she's a little too tall. She's no modify. She's a little too sexy to be a deer.
This girl is called Esmeralda. She's from *Sinuous Shapes*, and was a Make Him Over Hunt gift. She's nice. She's still too sexy. Her boobs are really prominent, aren't they?
This shape is the Silhouette Shape Expo gift. I like it because it's cute and small, but isn't too boyish. It reminds me of a deer. I don't like the lack of curves, because I'm a curvy girl, ya know?
Now here's a curvy girl! This goddess is the DSN offering from Ample Avi, called RITA- Lush. I think she's pretty, but not what I'm looking for. She's big, and beautiful.
This beaut is from Kunstkammer, RIP. I loved that store. Such unique things there. This shape is called Pleiades. I really like it, but the upper lip is too small. The chest is also too big for my liking. It's no modify, so I can't even change it!


I want my shape to be realistic, but still have that faun/elven appearance. In real life, I'm curvy, and I want that to show in my SL shape. I don't want to look like a little girl, or, even worse, a little boy. I think I've made my decision.

Drumroll, please!

Ta-da!

I've modded the Silhouette shape. I added a bit of a chest and some body fat. I'm rocking it!
By the way, the pants are from .h&co. The top is from Sugar by SUGARCUBE. The hair is from Truth, and is called Jess. The skin is the *CUPCAKES one I've been wearing. I'm not going to do a Style Notes because they're right here.

See Ya Later, Alligator!

I'm going to Georgia!

This is pretty much my outfit. I'm wearing jeans, and a purple shirt. In real life, I'm going to wear a black cardigan. In Second Life, the hat will keep my hair out of my eyes and will keep my head warm on that cold plane. Bye bye!

I actually did some work on my shape. I made it look more like me. I think I did a pretty good job. I made myself taller, and gave myself a more curvy look. I still have that cute aspect of my other shape, but its sexier, and more realistic. Looking at the above photo, I'm realizing that I need to beef up my legs to match my top half.

Sexy, sexy. I'm going out tonight! And I wanted to be sexy! One of the sexiest dresses I own is the *COCO* Shirred Tube Dress. It's a group gift, which comes in four yummy colors. I've got on the black.



And the shoes! She's So Unusal Shoes is having a L$1 on its group gifts, lucky chair items, and the like. I need a better picture. They are really cool! They also come with a tintable legwarmer.
Now, I'm off to party!

Announcements, Announcements

Announcements! What a wonderful way to die, what a wonderful way to die! Who stole my cow? Moo! Who stole my cow? Moo!

That is a thing we used to do at my sleepaway camp when announcements were made at meals. But I do have announcements.

First, I'll be away this coming week. I'm going to Georgia to see my my boyfriend. So no Second Life for me. I'll be back soon though.

Second, I am an offical blogger for the Fantasy Faire 2010. The Fantasy Faire benefits the Relay for Life, and features everything and anything fantasy. There is shopping, live music, a hunt, and so much more. I know this isn't typical SL fashion, but it's amazing nonetheless. There will be different sims devoted to the different aspects of fantasy, such as elves, mer-people, nekos, science fiction, magical(fairies and wizards), goth/vampire, and general fantasy. I think I'll be walking around with my antlers on! Yummy!

As soon as I get the landmark, I'll blog it!

Still Inventory Shopping

It's really amazing what you can find in your inventory. This dress, from [AV], is one of the most versitile dresses in my closet. You can wear it to a party, a more formal event, or even just out. The black color is great for pairing with brighter colored accessories, like the flower, which comes with the set. Even the pin is amazing. It looks realistic, and you can wear it with anything. I love the tiered look of the skirt.

Can't Think....

...of a good post title.



I love me a great customizable outfit. One that has a bunch of different ways to wear it. This set is one such thing. It's called cotton candy in pink. I am wearing the ruffle dress in the following picture

Now it gets interesting. Here I'm wearing the simple dress.





Now the skirt and one of the frilly tops.



The simple top.



The simple tunic.

The frilly tunic.

And now, the best one, even though I'd never wear it. A short frilly top with skirt.




This is such a great buy. It comes in pink, as shown here, brown, blue and yellow. It's L$120 each, and the fatpack is L$400.


At this store, there are some really cool things. I love a skirt with a dark flower pattern on it. There is also an embrodiered skirt I want. I'm definitely coming back.

The Skin I'm In

Following up on my wardrobe digging, I'm exploring my less-used skins.This skin is from Schismphrenic and is called Red Solstice Lena. My middle name is Lena, so I immediatly put it on. I got it from DSN. The eye make up is a heavy red, and the lips have a couture This outfit is a mishmosh of clothes I found from doing the last post. The shorts are the mijn.t [VINTAGE MONDAY] shorts without the prims. See, I told you they were pretty. The bolero is the one from Hal*Hina with the prims. And of course I have the Fri.Day free tank.



This skin is from Brazen Women, and is from the line is called Classic Lines III. The skins age you very gracefully. The grid is full of young, hot women and men. This is just an older, hot woman. The makeup is tastefully done. The hair is from that random freebie-giver, I think. It is very classy. It is just gorgous. The top is from the mijn.t [PEPE is my cat BODYSUIT] in red. I think it gives the outfit a bit a edge without being to outlandish.

Cleaning Out the Closet

I'm tired of seeing all the same things all over the feeds. Aren't you?

So here are some wonderful things that have been hiding in my inventory.
It looks like I'm waving. :) Since the weather is looking brighter and warmer, I decided to put this delicious pink dress on. It is the perfect thing to wear on a sunny day! From Reale, it features an adorable dark denim triangle top, and an a-line, flowery skirt. The antlers are from Illusions, my favorite place for all things fantasy. The photo hall I'm using is a DSN gift from ~La Petite Morte~. It is great, and I love all the preloaded textures. I just wish I could add my own textures. There is one for sale, which I believe you can add your own textures. But don't take my word for it. I'll look into it and get back to you. This outfit is more of a professional one. It started with [Pink Outfitters] Executive Cord Pant I got a while ago. I love the detail in it. Then I added one of the COCO gifts, the black turtleneck. I hate turtlenecks in real life, but this one is really cool. Good job, cocoro Lemon! The bracelet is something I just got from DSN. It's from Dark Mouse, and it is really cool. The shoes are the Maitreya group gift. It includes all the colors you can think of. This outfit started with the mijn.t shorts. The [VINTAGE MONDAY] shorts look good as is, but also look great without the prims. Now, finding a shirt to go with these shorts was really difficult. Finally, I found the free tank from Friday. Really cute, and really simple. No shoes with this look. I am currently running around in this outfit.
I look weird without antlers. This look was inspired by the ~La Petite Morte~ group gift of a runway photo set. The dress is by LOOKR, and is called Elegente. For the hair, I wanted a more formal look, but @Waffles! Free sophisticated love in dark chocolate did the job. The pose, Kewtie Pie by Long Awkward Pose, does a great job accentuating the asymmetry of the dress.

This is my sexy kitty look. The bolero is from Hal*Hina, and was a gift. I'm not wearing the sleeves because I really like how this looks. The shorts are Pig's contribution to the Red Packet Hunt. I'm wearing the soild version; a sheer version is included. Now, for a story about my hair. I was hanging out, and someone asked me if I wanted freebies. So, of course I said yes. Then this person dumped a whole bunch of everything on me, including this hair. It's labeled The Envy. That's it. Dunno where it's from. I think this is a sexy little outfit.
I never knew I had so much in my closet! Go see what's in yours!

A Very Fashionable Blacksmith

I made gloves. I have called them Godiva. Who knows why. I just did. You can't really see all the details here, but they're there. The gloves are shadowed and high lighted, and also have wrinkles for a bit of realism. They're my first piece of clothing I've made in a while, and I think they're pretty nice. If you want them, just ask. I might charge for them, I might not. The brand is called Blacksmith (with a period at the end).

The shirt is, I think, a gift from PIDDIDLE. It's gone now, but I like it. The skirt is from /artilleri/. The pose was a part of a 50L Friday offering from (pda).

I need to sleep.

Night.

Style Notes:

Skin:*CUPCAKES - Daydream - Sambuca - Ebony

Hair: >TRUTH< Jess - mocha
Shoes: -TESLA- Vixen_II Classic *Black*

^There is no store inworld for Blacksmith. I made the gloves on a whim.

The Illusionist

If I could go to only one place for fantasy stuff, it would be Illusions.

If you want it, it's there, and the designer and owner, Siyu Suen, takes suggestions and usually makes them happen.

There are so many items, I don't even know where to start! But I'm gonna try. Here we go. There are half masks, full masks, small horns, big horns, all sorts of antlers, all sorts of elf ears, hats, jewelry, Arabian veils, wings, and more. There are even sets, like pirate accessories. I just know I didn't mention everything in store.


This is the Cat Mask Demo. I love it. I want to reach out and pet it. Siyu makes more animal masks, including a horse/unicorn, a minotaur, a deer, and two dragons, one in the Eastern style and the other one in the Western style. They are priced pretty reasonably, ranging from about L$200 to about L$400. The Cat Mask is color change to a bunch of different fur colors.

The above photo is killing two birds with one stone. The mask, Columbina, is one of the lucky chair's gifts. It comes with one other mask. The veil is called Suleika, and can the fabric and the metal can be independently changed. It comes with a headpiece and a necklace.

There is a lucky chair with about five prizes. The prizes are bunny ears, a box of Harlequin masks, a vase of flowers, vampire teeth, and safety pin earrings. There is a cheat wall so you can buy what you want instead of waiting for it. I want the bunny ears. I did get the Harlequin masks, though. There are two styles, Civetta and Columbina, in both male and female styles. I am obviously wearing the female styles.

This is the female Civetta style mask I won from the lucky chair. The pose I'm using is one of (pda)'s 50 Linden Friday Deals. It's called Don't Do It.

There are also two hunts going on at Illusions: STEAM and the Magic and Romance Hunt. For the STEAM Hunt, there is a top hat with gears on it up for grabs. For the Magic and Romance Hunt, find a rose(not hard; it's where it you'd think it would be), and you'll get a gorgeous mask. I'm really not doing it justice, wearing jeans and a top and all. I should be wearing a ball gown.
I wish I got a better picture of it. It's so light, and it's just so pretty. I'm gonna need to make an outfit around this mask one day.

And that's what I'll leave you with.

The Swimming Deer

I decided to be a deer today.


And since I really want spring, I decided to go swimming.

I do have actual swim suits, but when I tried on [studio m]'s Kayla, I loved the color. So I took off the wonderful sculpted full skirt, and made this bathing suit. I really love it.

And I need spring. It's too cold.

In Paradise

Today, I was exploring Dania's House and Garden Paradise. It is such a cool place! It has everything you'd ever want for your garden. In the picture above, I'm standing infront of a gorgous large fountain, but Dania has many more styles and sizes of fountain in stock.

There are also statues. I think this statue is amazing. I love the textures. There are so many more styles of statues.

Along with fountains and statues, there are trees at Dania's Home and Garden Paradise. Any type of tree you can imagine, you'll find at Dania's. There are tropical trees for islands. There are regular trees. There are flowering trees for spring. There are snowy trees for winter. There are even desert trees for a desert scene. I really love all these trees.

And of course there are flowers! There are so many flowers. You can get bushes of flowers, flowers in greenhouses, and so much more that I don't even remember it all! And you can even get the greenhouse without the flowers!


Along with everything I've said here, there are waterfalls, rocks, flowering arches, gazeboes, potted plants, goth plants, garden acessories, and so much more at Dania's Home and Garden Paradise. Soon, there will even be prefabs and furniture for sale. I don't want to spoil it all for you, so you'll have to see it all for yourself.
So come by, enjoy yourself, and don't forget to put Dania's Home and Garden Paradise into your picks!! You never know, you might just be rewarded.
