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.

Not So Blue

I just realized that these pictures show green. Not what I wanted at all. Oh well. I don't feel like retaking the pictures.

I started with the accessories this time. Paper Couture's Agate Bib Necklace has beautiful blue stones, so I matched Maitreya's new Balloon Skirt to it. I used the Blue color. Simplicity was key for the top, so I used Ohmai's white racerback. To match the high fashion aspect of the outfit, Maitreya's new Allure shoe in black worked quite well.

Todays look is mostly compromised of new and old items from Maitreya. The skirt is new from Maitreya, as are the shoes. The hair is an older item from Maitreya. The Balloon Skirt is a great buy; I got the fatpack of all the colors. My favorite part, though, has to be the fact that the skirt is scripted for all the colors. That means you get one skirt for all 14 colors. That makes it so much easier. The shoes, called Allure, are amazing. I got the normal ones, but they also can come with tights and socks. Isn't that such a wonderful idea? The HUD is easy to play with, and the shoes are just so pretty. I'll make a note to get a closeup on the shoes for a future post.
As much as I love fashion, I also love interior design. So I went on a shopping spree. I got the wall and floor textures from Insight Designs. There are such detailed build and fabric full permission textures. I'll leave the SURL with you to check the textures out for yourself. I also love furniture. And The Loft is amazing. I want everything in that store. It looks like everything would be so comfortable! I am hanging out with my CD Ottoman in Midnight. The blanket is color change, and you can take it off if you wish. Yummy!

It's a Spring Thing

Run, don't walk, to 5th & Oxford for its' 50% off everything sale! That means the Jori skirts, tops, and cardis are all 50L$ each. Stock up, because what's better for spring than pastel colors, ruffley tops and short, frilly skirts? That's right; nothing.
Turquoise is one of my favorite colors, and is the base of this outfit with the skirt. I also love purple, so I took the cummerbund off of the Violet Jori skirt. A simple black sweetheart top, courtesy of the La Masion Kaestner dress in black, keeps me locked and loaded. Props to you if you know who says that. I pulled in the purple of the cummerbund with a *Cupcakes makeup, from the Genius II line.

At this point, I decided that the outfit was too 'sweet' for me. I needed to toughen it up. This necklace from Paper Couture does just that. Below is a more detailed look at the necklace. The roses on it keeps with the spring theme, but still has a tougher look.
The hair I chose, well, I'm pretty obsessed with. It is an older hairstyle from !lamb called Witch. It is a perfect blend of hardcore and mellowness. Perfect with this outfit, right? Perfect with any outfit, really.

The poses featured throughout are from Don't Freak Out!

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.
