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.

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.

Monkey Love

Okay, about the title. My grandma had a pair of stuffed monkeys, and they have Velcro on their hands so they can hug each other. They're on my bed, right next to me.


This look is simple, but very chic. The top is from the Courtney dress from LeLutka. I love the collar. The skirt is from So Many Styles. I love the hourglass shape this outfit creates. The shoes are Maitreya Gold in the Allure style.

I chose a short bob, courtesy of !lamb. The outfit needed a little simplicity. The skin is also very simple.
I just felt a need for a simple, but very chic look. Enjoy!

Tea Time!

I love tea. Black, white, green, hot or iced; I love all of it. To celebrate my love of tea, I put together a springy outfit.
This look started with the Gonnie jacket from &Bean. I really love this jacket. It's light and springy, just right for a tea party. I couldn't decide which top to wear, but I finally settled on the Gonnie bra. As to not wear the whole Gonnie outfit, I brought out the Jori skirt in Rose from 5th & Oxford. Jori is just perfect for a tea party.

At this point, I thought the look was too pink. Not that I don't like pink; I just needed a little green. I got that green with Clawtooth's Tea Time hat in Mossy. Under the hat is Poppy in coffee from Truth. It was last weeks release, and I love it. The bangs are wonderful! The style is a bit flexi, so it moves like it were real hair.

I also added some green with the Lime makeup of the Genius line in the Cocoa tone. I love how it picks up the green from the jacket. To finish the look, I used [LeLutka]'s Saffron Pumps in Neutral Sand.

Pinkies Up!

Retail Therapy

I went shopping today. Oh, yes I did. I went wild.

One of my favorite purchases today was the Mahrai dress in bloom from Zaara. In this look, I used the skirt and belt from the dress. It is perfect for spring. The femininity of the skirt needed some contrast, so I ran over to COCO. I snapped up something I've had my eye on for a while: the Ruffle Jacket in Black. You all know I love shoulder decorations, and the ruffles are just my cup of tea. Mmm, tea. That sounds good right now.All of the poses I'm using are from Long Awkward Pose, and is part of the SL Daily Deals. Two packs for the price of one! The packs are Wonder Girls, which pays homage to some amazing women on the grid, and Bolly All the Time, a set inspired by Bollywood, India's own version of Hollywood.

The Elf Goes Chic

Today I was going for a chic look, consisting of Veschi's new jumpsuit. I started this outfit with said jumpsuit's wide pants in wheat. It's a nice, neutral color and sets off the red top nicely. The red top is part of Veschi's new dress called Over the Top.

To make this outfit a bit more chic, I added a blazer from Wasted Youth. It includes a long-sleeved version, which I'm wearing, and a scrunched up-sleeved version. The shoulders add a little toughness, which I like in my outfits.

The hair I chose, well, you've seen before. My makeup adds some brightness and a higher sense of style to my look. The skin is a (vive9) freebie.

Sweeten Me Up...

It's wet, rainy, and kinda miserable out today. My outfit, sweet with a bit of badass, will cheer you right up. The Bone-color Jori skirt from 5th & Oxford is the base of the look today. The top is also from 5th & Oxford. It is the Jori blouse in Violet, and I didn't add the ruffle.

Again, the outfit was getting a little too sugary sweet for me. So I slipped on a black vintage jacket from So Many Styles. Very well detailed, it added the much-needed edge to my outfit.

The outfit still looked a little bare, like it was missing something. I sifted through my jewelery box until I found the perfect necklace.
To show you the necklace in all of its' glory, I had to put my hair up (!lamb. Unbirthday - Snickers), and take off my jacket. It is from Atelier AM, and comes in a longer version, too. It is very fashiony, but is also a piece that you can dress down easily.
Doesn't this picture look like it belongs in a magazine?

Ravishing in Rouge

Ring, ring. "For the Love of Fashion. Dakota speaking. How may I help you?" I feel like a receptionist in this outfit.
The base of this outfit is pretty simple. The ever-chic pencil skirt starts off the outfit. I chose the black simplicity version from /artilleri/. On my top half, sits a Fri.Day freebie, the white cami. Both are well shaded; the folds near the stomach on the skirt is done to perfection.

The focal point of this outfit is this great red trench from (P-K). Polina Kaestner, owner and creator of (P-K), and her new store, La Masion Kaestner, did a wonderful job on the details. As you can see above and below, the jacket isn't just one tone. Ms. Kaestner blended shades of red to achieve a realistic look. It appears like it would in real life, which isn't easy to do in SL(tm). The prims are modifiable, so I could fit the coat to my dimentions. The collar and jacket bottom is one prim, so it makes it that much easier to adjust. You get all layers, so their will be no layer conflict.

This outfit called for a simple, yet sexy makeup. I just bought two fatpacks of *Cupcakes new Genius line, in the Cocoa tone. This makeup is light enough for spring, but isn't too inappropriate for work. It is called Paper.

(P-K) Open Trench comes in, other than Rouge (red), Beige, Gris (grey), Indigo, and Noir (black). Each costs L$40.

City Spring Look

Oh, how I wish I had this jacket in RL! It is beautiful! So Many Styles always does a good job on vintage-inspired fashions like this jacket. It looks so soft, like the velvet navy blue vintage Ralph Lauren Polo blazer I own in RL.

I decided to pair it with a spring/summer staple: jean shorts. And what's the go-to store for the best wardrobe essentials? Well, it's Fri.Day, of course! I opted for the Regular wash. I adore the wrinkles that appear on real jean shorts. The hair is !lamb.'s Witch in Kit Kat. I love it because it can go with high fashion ensembles, or it can be dressed casually. In the first picture, you can kind of see the bun in the back. I wish I could pull this off in real life!

The skin is from the new Genius line from *Cupcakes, and is called Dolled Up. I'm wearing the Cleavage option.

Haute Couture

Sometimes you just wanna dress up. And for those instances, House of Fox is the way to go. The whole collection is black, and that's just the way I like it.

I especially like this dress, called La Vie En Paris. It features a deep V neckline, and a huge skirt. It kind of looks like flower petals to me. There is also a collar piece that I am not wearing. It gives the dress an edge. Instead of the collar piece, I am wearing a necklace from Paper Couture. Like, really? I want in real life. Imagine how heavy that thing would be, though. It is so glamorous.

I chose the skin because it is an avant garde look, and picks up the sparkling white diamonds in the necklace.

One Outfit, Two Looks.

Newness from Prelude! One of the new releases is this beautiful dress and skirt combo, called Epine. This is the color Rouge.
Epine is a gown, with a full length skirt and a shorter, poofier skirt over it. The top has a sweetheart neckline. The pattern of the short skirt and top is a rich, French-inspired flowery print. It kind of reminds me of a fleur de lis. The cups of the top are wired; even so, they're barely holding me in! The skirt is a bit tight, so it's pulling across my legs.

After looking at the full outfit for a while, I decided a party look could be born. I just slipped off the longer skirt, and I was ready to party.

Without the long skirt, the short skirt looks extra poofy! I let my hair down; this look has a younger vibe to it than the full outfit does.

All prims are modifiable, for easy sizing.

For my more formal look, I used a (vive9) skin from the freebie giveaway. I would tell you to go get them, but they're not there anymore. I wanted a simple makeup for a dramatic dress.

This face should look familiar. She's from *CUPCAKES, and I love her. She definitely has a more intense look than the (vive9) girls. Not saying that's a bad thing.

A Casual Day

(vive9) is so good to us! As everyone knows, (vive9) closed down, but let us have freebies. Skins, eyes, and clothes were all included. One of my favorites is the Blowup Blazer in black. I love the balloon sleeves, and the length is just right. Close up, you can kind of see where the prim meets the clothing layer, but it's no problem if you just zoom out a bit. The leggings, which I'm wearing as pants, are also from the (vive9) giveaway. They are really nice quality, and don't deserve to be underneath something. They are nicely done, and don't have seams.

Here, I just wanted to get a closeup on the skin. It is also a (vive9) freebie, and is called Twiggy. I think she's so cute! The makeup is very casual, and is called Casting 1. It looks like she'd be really soft, don't you think?

Twiggy looks soft, bright, and the lips are delicious. I see no seams, and the bod is perfect.

Just waiting. I look very serene.

Also, I'd love to do some reviews. Designers, send review packets if you'd like. Thanks in advance!

Swiper, No Swiping!

WOE is giving out freebies, in collaboration with Exodi. I decided to swipe some things.

My favorite thing is this sweater. It's called Braylon, and I love it for a relaxed, casual look.

The shorts are from Pig, via the Red Packet Hunt. It's hot enough for shorts, but cool enough that I have to wear a sweater with them.

I love this look. It's great for hanging out, relaxing. It's very casual. which I love.

P.S.- Don't be afraid to give me review folders! I'd be happy to review things. I'd love anything and everything: hair, skin, clothing, furniture, poses. Whatever you have, I'd be happy to feature them.
