Summer Tan in SL

Moon has put on a tan. I got the free Sarah Deetalez Fatpack Gift from Essential Inventory for SL premium members and decided that it was time to get some golden tan.

DeeTaleZ *SKINS* - EVOX Heads - SARAH - Premium Gift 

I chose Eastern for my tan.

And then I added wrinkles, freckles and nose shadings from Izzie's. No makeup is involved.

I am using Camila Lelutka EvoX head. I also tweaked the face shape slightly different from my previous face skin. I am also using Firestorm Ultra and PBR Nacon Summer Noon Windlight and I moved the sun so that there wouldn't be too much shadow on the face. Yes, all these 'operations' is time consuming and seems to take forever which is why I greatly appreciate all the fashionistas and photographers:)

Still snowing in some places

This is actually a freebie post, but my little plot is still snowing despite the already pink spring-Valentine theme landscaping. This is a virtual world you know so anything goes. And I really adore those pink floral flamingos I bought from Simply Shelby last year and I had to bring it out already.

The coat is S@BBiA::Ribbon Belt Fur Coat (Gift)

The boots are a groupgift *COCO*_Gift_KneeBoots_Brown

The hair is a groupgift from Mina called Adeline.

The head is the groupgift Lelutka Vela which I have reshaped.

The face skin is a freebie from Deetalez Megan2 no brows and the eyebrow is from a past Nuve freebie gift called Emily.

The jeans is very, very, very old BOM(it was not called BOM back then) and when I got it, it was not free and I think most don't even know about the brand. It was Armidi. It has served well over the years.

Finally, another AI rendered painting inspired from the famous Starry Starry Night! 2 moons(maybe3 if included avie moon) is quite out of this world!!

Here is the original picture: I took this picture at Luanes World. It is still snowing there.

Have fun!!

Snowed in Pink

 

Riot has a new group gift out - the woolen hat and mitten with multi-coloured hud.

The hat doesn't come with hair, but during the recent Black Friday sale, I purchased the Spirit hair from Stealthic which had an equestrian hat and I figured the hair would fit with this hat too. I now believe that it would also fit with other hats. Hmmm...

The pink top is from last week's Weekend sale at Neve. It also comes with multi-coloured and pattern hud. I didn't get the skirt because I hardly ever wear one nowadays. Always on the horse you know.

The jeans is from The Kiwi and it also comes with a multi-coloured hud. I think you see the pattern now... I am making my SL life simpler :)

The heart necklace and earrings are from Cae, from long ago.

This picture was taken at the Calas Midwinter sim, about an hour before show began and I used that opportunity to take an ultra graphic shot before the sim filled up and lag started. I love the way the flexi skirt moved but it was horrible in a sitting pose. Well, it looked great when dancing!

The hair is Unruly from Doux. The earrings, choker and bracelet are from Kibitz.

The gown is from GGVG Fashion and I bought it last winter with their store credit giveaway. This year, they gave us an outfit. Even without the store credit, the price is reasonable. I still remember when gowns used to cost over 1K linden coz I accidentally clicked on one a long, long time ago when a store was having a hunt... Imagine that!! Ugh!! To place a freebie real close to a buy smh

Last, I have not 1 but 2 AI rendered paintings!!

AI is definitely making my avatar look gorgeous. I think after all the thumbs down I gave, the programming finally computed what I wanted.

Candy Canes mean I love You

Lady Luck

I've been walking around with my two rare Chinese Crested furbabies from Hextraordinary eversince I got them.

I got T-Bone on the first try. Pose is by Fashiowl. I like her poses coz they're filled with kookiness and if you're lucky, you can get them at affordable prices during the weekend event sales. She sometimes give away freebie poses too.

I was going for a retro 70's vibe and the turtleneck, big-belted mini and thigh-high boots are all from *COCO*.

The hair from Tram is not so retro, I know, but I like the messy, short style which gave off a youthful vibe.

At this time, I was still using Lelutka Simone Head and I just discovered how to use the BOM! I know, I am so late in that discovery and that bugs me but, I have been away from SL for almost a year except for a few minutes logins and I wasn't playing doll.

Well, now I am. I also found out that I could use my old system skins again, but who wants to use old, right? Time for shopping!

Anyway, I tested a lot of BOM skins which are essentially tattoo face skins without the tattoo body skins(this made me a bit upset coz that meant I had to buy a matching BODY BOM skin or a tattoo body skin too) I found [Mudskin] sold really affordable BOM skins. I liked their skin but a year ago, I found they don't have much choices for Lelutka skins but now they had 4 or 5 and I bought 3 of them! Above, Moon is wearing Hee Soo.

Then Lelutka updated their EVO Heads! I love their face animations! For the next 2 weeks I tested them off and on and it was a choice between Lake and Ryn. In the end I chose Lake for her strong and yet sweet features. Moon is wearing Palvin. Hair is from Lamb. Fauxfur jacket is from *COCO*.

Moon is wearing So Hee here. So Hee looks like Hee Soo's older sister. Top is from Erratic.

Here, I use the Glam Affair skin which came with Lelutka Lake 2.5 and also matching body skin which came with the updated version of Maitreya 5.3! Hair is from Tram. Boots from Gos. Dress is a freebie from Belle Epoque Rezday hunt. GO! GO! GO! There's a lot of freebies there and a 50% sales too.

Finally, I got Pink Lady on my third try. My second was a rare T-Bone wanderer. And that's why I feel lucky!

Coming soon is another 10L modern house in which this pic is taken. Almost all of the decors are old stuffs and their shops are now closed.

PEACE!

One day in May

This month's Collorbor88 has a lot that I like although until today, I didn't have time to be in SL. So it was shopping day for me instead of building.

First up is the Misa skin from Glam Affair. Although it's for Lelutka Aida head, I find that it fits Simone too. Next is the hair from Tram. I bought the cute lace top from Tetra and matched it with the flared jeans from Tres Blah.

Then there's the very adorable country girl dress from Pixicat.

The sheep are from Jian and the hair is Seventeen from Lamb which I got from last month's Uber. It matches perfectly with this daisy print dress.

Skin

Before mesh heads, I used to have thousands of skins. Now I can count the skins I have on one hand.

My Simone Lelutka Mesh Head cannot wear some of the skins that I would love to buy and I just don't want to spent the time learning to use Omega or any of the other mesh heads from other mesh makers. The deciding factor, of course, is that mesh heads are a bit on the expensive side. So I decided that one head is all I need right now.

When I saw Maewe from Glam Affair at Uber, I was so in love with that face and joy oh joy, it was for Lelutka. I also took the chance to go for the darker skin #9 because for the longest time, Moon have been so pale and I felt it was time for a change.

I believe I made the right decision.
