A gown and a cocktail

I know I told myself not to spent but... but...

This beautiful dress is from Purplemoon called Cao. I wore it with Donna Flora's Adele diamond.


And this sexy black mini is from Coldlogic called Noel and the earrings and bangles are old TDR YS&YS. I tried all colour shoes and somehow this Pixelmode berry colour heels seems to speak to me. No idea why.

The show of life and final colour challenge

I feel sad that the colour challenge has come to an end, but all good things must come to an end one day and this has been a good project for me to participate.

I finally accepted mesh and although I miss my amazon blonde Moon, I'm happy with shorty brunette Moon.

This has not been a good year for me in SL or in RL but like all things, the show(of life) must go on. I'm grateful that I have not burdened anyone in my process to heal myself of the sadness that has happened to me and in the process, I found a creative outlet in architecture albeit not in a professional way. I'm happy with what I have done so far.

At the end of the day, I realised that I came to this world alone and I will leave it alone too and people are just spices in my life and if they leave, that's alright with me. They have already enhanced my life.

TDR 21 12 12

I will have to make a New Year's resolution not to spent too much next year. I don't know what it is about holiday season that makes me want to buy buy buy!
It doesn't help that designers are churning out fantastic clothes. It doesn't help that mesh clothes are getting better.
I still hope that it would be better and the dresses wouldn't go into my avie's skin. That reminds me of sculpts except with sculpts, I could modify it.

Blue dress is from [glow] and the block dress is from *coco* for this week's TDR fusion.

I feel quite gossipy

As in Gossipgirl... the way they dress up to be exact.
I feel the outfit is more like a Blair than a Serena even though Moon is wearing long blonde hair.

Cloche hat: Shi.
Hair: Lelutka christmas gift Vent
Coat: GF Winter Coat Natalie ..... love love love! Doesn't this style looks so very Red Valentino? I hope she does more of that style and I will never be able to resist buying:)
Crocodile Boston bag: Septem*Grace*
Shoes:GF Mesh Fur cuffs boots Sasha
Earrings: Donna Flora princess pearls
Skin: Belleza FLF Noel skin
eyes:PC eyes Shallow water
moles:Mynerva .... I never leave
blush:ID blush/flush ... home
lashes: Maitreya VIP group mesh lashes ... without these

here's a close up that I think makes Moon different :)

I am suddenly feeling very much in the spirit of the holiday.
Happy holidays everyone!

Going to a formal

This long sleek black hair Lelutka is so pretty, I had to get it. It's called Pocahontas and it really does look like Disney's Pocahontas hair. Unfortunately with mesh hair, it's not flexible but it's not so stiff-looking and it sure looks good for taking pictures. Moon is wearing Donna Flora pearls.
And Sassy had this sexy gown with the lace slit on the sides:)
And off I went to hear an Italian singer sing even though I speak no Italian because my friend is an Italian-american.

C88 Dec brought out the shopaholic in me

This month's Collabor is just amazing. I love almost all of them, but as with mesh, sometimes, the clothes and shoes just do not look right on the avatar. Just like rl I guess. In the end, I only bought 3 dresses(well, 4 because I bought the same style in 2 colours) and the Monso boots which I'm not showing now.

Dress from Ingenue. If Moon puts on legging and skates, she could go another round of ice-skating!

Dress from {ufo}. So cute yet sexy! I bought another in black lace.

This dress from R2 Fashion is too short I had to turn it into a top. Another style I can use the rollerblades and go roller-skating:)

Weekly Colour Challenge-GOLD

Sometimes some events lead to unexpected outcome.
Anyway, it's that time of week again and Moon is wearing Sn@tch's This Week Special Snowflakes-Mesh Metallic sweater & skirt in gold. It also comes in silver and the whole thing costs only 75L.
Boots are from LpD and the hair is Exile's New Year's gift from last year.
It's time to celebrate the coming year.

Look for the past couple of days

I've been busy trying to finish texturing my build. Texturing is so not easy and even when you have done your best, some parts just won't line up.
Anyway, when I was at [Foppish] on a hunting mission, I think it was the pink button hunt, I saw this Cardigan.

Sweaters

I don't think anyone need to buy anymore sweaters this winter.

These 2 sweaters are from Beetlebones in the With Love Hunt. There are several colours in the pack with 2 different patterns, ribbons and skull.
This is from Zenith, With Love Hunt.
From Sn@tch, With Love Hunt. Sweater inside mesh jumper outside.... but I might be saying it the other way because I am totally confused when it comes to proper English. Many colours for the sleeveless mesh jumper and only black for the sweater.





















But of course who can resist not buying too! This is from Drift for Lazy Sunday.

Roller skating at home


I get obsessed often. I can't help myself and at this moment, I am obsessed with those roller skate and ice skates and all the snow.

Outfit: Group gift from Shushu
Hair: last year's winter gift from e!        
Rollerskates:   Pixelmode   

By the way, there is an advent calender at ALB and today's gift is a bathrobe. I am not taking off these outfit to take a picture of Moon in a bathrobe.

Today's look- fun skating


I was updating Kiki's shape to be mesh friendly and she looked so cute, I had to dress her up and take her ice skating. Kiki's not another alt, but the shape I used to put on marketplace but I took all my shapes off when I decided to embrace mesh clothings. Kiki is a size Xs or Small depending on what you're wearing.
Moon will probably be wearing this shape for a few days.
The cardigan-jacket is a group gift from [Foppish]. Joining is still free.
The mesh jeans is from Gizza.
Hair and beanie is from Kari. It's an old item. I don't think this hair is there anymore. I tried to get a different coloured hair last year, but it was no longer for sale.
The shirt is from Deetalez.
The ice-skates are from Bax. The roller skates from Pixelmode.

I bought the KH ice skate ao and I'm really satisfied with it. I already have their mermaid AO3 which is really awesome.

This reminds me. Moon hasn't been a mermaid in a while.

Fabulous hunt items

This beautiful dress is from the Gypsy Hunt from NNight Creation.
Another fabulous gown from 22769 for the Silver Lining Hunt.
I didn't change Moon's jewelries. They are League from past 50LFriday. I didn't change her shoes either just the colour.
I love it when hunt items aren't too difficult to find and the clues are spot on. Sometimes the clues have nothing at all to do with where the items are hidden and if I give up, it will take me a long, long time to return to the store. I especially love it when the store owners give out really good gifts because not only will I be able to gauge their work, I will have the impression that they are generous and it gives me all these warm fuzzy feelings(my age allows me to have silliness) and this makes me want to go back and buy their items.

Yet another cold weather style

Well..... this outfit called Rune-Cindy is similar to yesterday's outfit. The outfit can be worn when it's not so cold too. It can even be worn in rl in a hot country like mine too.... where there is air-conditioning. Moon is wearing this in size xS.
At the moment I'm a bit obsessed with SL snow. I definitely think snow is better than rain.... except when the snow turns to sludge.

Tuesday, November 27, 2012

Another cold weather style

This time I am wearing all mesh clothes. I forgot I had this cute jacket/bolero from R2 at collab88.
The dress is from Eaters Coma aka SIXTY NINE. Moon's hair is from Analog Dog, my go to shop for curly hair.
I know it's not that thick to withstand rl winter outdoors but since Moon can't feel, why not:)

Time for Snow

It's Monsoon time where I am. Rains everyday and it's cold for me, but not as cold as winter. I couldn't find any mesh coats or jackets that I like and I wanted to go to the Calas Galadhon sim because I knew it would be winter there. So in the end, I wore all old stuffs which still looks good even on a small size Moon.

Hmmm this reminds me of a Malay proverb that literally translate Carry your own basket which means praising yourself but..... I say this, if you're not confident on how good you look or how good your avatar looks, when everyone else praises you, you'll be floored or worst, you'll get suckered in by unscrupulous people.

Colour Challenge-Tangelo

Another orangey challenge. I really am running out of orange clothes. There are so many shades of orange!
I paired the orangey coloured Drew top which I bought from Marketplace with Tuttifrutti pants I bought from the Black Friday sale. There are 17 colours in that one top for only 99L which is a bargain.

Shopping heaven

What a thrill to shop for a whole new wardrobe and at half the cost too. This is a pretty sundress from <Geometry> called Laura. Everything is marked down to 99L till Sunday. Please try the demo because this dress is the loose type and it might look big and your avatar might drown in it. Moon is wearing a size xxS for this particular dress. Never would I have thought she'd still look good in that size!
These were from E! black Friday sale. Sale is only for Friday.
These were from Bilo black Friday 50% off sale till Sunday.
I plan to start boxing up my old clothes after this.

It's raining out there

I thought I would stop spending.... but then comes the Black Friday Sale all over the grid. The first thing I noticed was the TuttiFrutti store. I've always been attracted to bright cheerful colours. I indulged myself quite a bit there because the whole store was 50% off not just the black coloured items like other stores. I wanted Moon to have more mesh attire and so that is my excuse for spending. The yellow cami is from TuttiFrutti.
The mesh skirt is from Sn@tch and is not on the black Friday sale:( Neither is the oh so sexy wedges called Sixties Heels from My Pretty Pixels. I will definitely be wearing those wedges as often as I wear the Pixelmode Baby Ts. Now if only I can find boots that give me that kind of feeling too.
My bag is a gift from past vintage fair. That hair is from Maitreya and it's oh so old too. The necklace is from Maxi Gossamer.
And my avatar is wearing [PXL]Faith skin in Olive.

I made another free house

I've been wanting to do a log cabin for a while now. This little cutie-pie is free and just something I did for fun. This cabin is absolutely for only 1 person.

If you can say no

The hardest thing is to say no to people's requests but if you can, what does it make you? I'm finding it easier and easier to say no nowadays. I wonder if that is one of the signs of old age. Just like it's getting more and more difficult for me to keep quiet around irritating people. I read somewhere that women becomes more and more strict when they get older while men becomes more and more mellow. It has something to do with our hormones.

I completed my house. It's similar to my other modern houses but this one was in my head when I woke up last Sunday and instead of having breakfast, I am one of those people who can eat first thing when they wake up(I hear we are an endengered specie haha) anyway, instead of breakfast, I started building and 3 days later, it's in the Marketplace and at my little mainstore.

This little house has a sun roof in the kitchen! I love big huge windows and most of my houses have these big huge windows. And french doors! Well double doors actually but french doors sounds fancier.

As usual, I use my old furnitures to decorate the house and these furnitures are so versatile, I hate parting with them.

Some like it hot-Reds

I am embracing mesh clothings totally. The trick is moving the width slider to not make my avatar too skinny-looking. There is nothing I can do about the thinness of her arms because the width slider doesn't seemed to affect the arms. Also, it helps to make the avatar shorter otherwise she would be too gangly and.... a small gust of wind can blow her off!
Moon wears a size S or Xs and she doesn't look emaciated, I don't think so.
The red gown(Apple May) and the red slip dress(Baiastice) is from the Fair event going on right now and, the ethnic-print dress(22769) is from the Around the World event.

Weekly Colour Challenge:Barley Corn

Barley corn makes me think of bubur chacha and I wonder if I experiment on it, it would taste just as good. Coconut milk makes everything taste good.
The Makeda dress Moon is wearing is from the Around the World Event from 22769.
Size S was a teeny weeny bit big and size Xs a teensy weensy tight. I have concluded that no standard shape will ever be  satisfactory when it comes to mesh clothings. You either have to tweak your shape or wear it as is. I decided to wear it in size Xs and not downsize Moon's boobs any further. Thankfully, the Ging hair from Analog dog  covers the slight flaw.
I'm happy with Moon's shape. She still looks tall and shapely but she no longer towers over other avatars.

Leather

I didn't feel like building or going to any music events so I went to the Around the World Event today and came back with quite a lot of dresses. The leather peplum top and pencil skirt were from paperback.
The hair is from Analog Dog amd the boots from[Belgravia]. The accessories are very old items. Belt from [Coco] and bag from Septem Essentia.

dress: Maui

Another colourful mesh dress I cannot resist. This is from  {TD} called Maui. I also prefer my avatar to look cute rather than sexy, hence the flat pink boots rather than heels.

dress:Boho Baby

I guess I am not done with mesh dresses yet. Boho Baby dress in Khol is from DCNY.
