Just checking in! I’m keeping it brief so that my alt (the one who resides in the real world) can go and enjoy the sunshine herself, but I couldn’t resist sharing this morning’s bounty with you first.

This look is predominantly a result of a visit to check out L’Abel’s Summer collection. There are some fantastic pieces available which I will doubtless be featuring on my personal blog over the next few weeks, but I knew you’d appreciate this pretty playsuit from the collection. Available in a brighter blue as well as the brown print shown, the Eileen set is easy to wear and just right for any milder weather as we go through the season. With sturdy shoulder straps leading to a square neckline, the suit buttons down the front and finishes with adorable puff legs that pull tight to the hem for a neat finish.

I dressed up with an undertop from Luck Inc which is one of my layering staples, particularly fitting here due to the cut. The leggings are from Atomic, slightly sheer and terming with silky ribbon ties that wrap around the leg and tie to floppy bows.

For jewellery I chose Caroline Apollo’s latest release, polished stones wrapping around both the neck and wrist in double strands. The simplicity of the design makes them ideal for dressing up your casual outfits, although they could just as easily take you through to the evening. The belt is an older release from Mandala, with shoes from Fallingwater Cellardoor’s fantastic collection, study denim pumps with a low heel and lots of lovely detail, with everything from the minute stitches to the careful shading working to provide a very realistic finish.

The hair is one of this week’s Truth releases which I am completely besotted with. With flyaway strands and convincing movement, this pigtail style is sweet and stylish, working beautifully with these poses from Oh My Stars.

However much you spend on clothing, if you neglect your accessories you’ll always find your outfits a little lacking. I went all out for this look, showing off some of my inventory favourites which can always be used to glam up a styling.

The hat was a new purchase from Epoque’s Trilogy store. With it’s outrageously wide brim and neat silken band, who could resist, particularly when Glitterati are stocking some poses to work with it? There are 10 poses in the set which are all equally fabulous, tempting you to take more than a few pictures in your spangly new chapeau.

Whether you’re an A-list SLebrity or just emulating that diva style, the Butterfly shades from Gos are hot to trot whatever the season. These oversized sunnies are presumably named for the indent to the side of the frame, giving a very feminine wing-like shape. Lavishly scripted with texture change and colour update options for both lens and frame, as well as as tint opacity, the ability to flip the glasses up on top of your head at the flick of a button, and easy resize, you’ll be hard pressed to find more sophisticated or easily customisable eyewear on the market.

For jewellery I opted for this unusual necklace from Haus of Darcy. It’s dramatic in its style, especially when laid against lighter clothing, and for your money you get each strand to be worn separately or all together. This flexibility certainly gives you a lot of options and can be mixed and matched with various looks to great effect.

You can never have too many boots, so if you don’t already own this pair you definitely need to put them on your shopping list – but hurry as these are currently on sale at a 50% discount and the offer’s unlikely to last. Gos’s Burlesques have become something of a wardrobe staple for me, largely because of the superb shape and fit. They have a unique sizing system to ensure a perfect fit to your leg, and are sold with a special pose stand that you can ask your friend to use to edit your boots if you’re not comfortable to do so yourself. Featuring black leather accents to the toe, heel and back, the curved shape and clean textures will certainly call attention to your legs. With six satin and lace colours included, you’re sure to get plenty of wear.

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then round about now your arteries must be fit to burst. I do have a good excuse this time; I’ve been touring the Pose Fair which is absolutely jam packed with new AOs, props, stand alones and sets. With creators still adding new content, it’s definitely worth stalking your favourite stores over the weekend to ensure you’re not missing out.

Glitterati have launched a mass of new content, all of which deserves a mention but couldn’t possibly be crammed into one post. I thought I’d cover the ‘Social Climber’ prop, this a-frame ladder which is absolutely rammed with poses. 10 singles, 5 couples, 5 friends poses and a ten person group pose which is an amalgamation of all the singles styles. I’m hardly doing it justice with so few pictures, but I promise you that there is great fun to be had on your own or in a group. The ladder comes in a black wood as standard, but it’s modable so you can substitute your own textures, tint as required, and even hide the central strut to suit.

I started off with a pretty cropped jumper from Luck Inc; although it’s partially covered you can definitely appreciate the quality. Working well as a standalone, it’s also perfect for layering and tucks neatly beneath this playsuit from Fri.day. Sweet and simple, the panelled bodice is easily paired with other looks, although I’m sure you’ll plenty of wear from the ensemble as a whole. It comes with a high waist belt in various colours and sizes, but I decided to work with another from Urbanity. I’ve been wearing this one a lot since I got it as it has a nifty colour update system allowing you to add to your texture and metal options for a wealth of choice to compliment your outfits. The shape is good, rounded buckle and keeper balancing the excess to the front, with stud and strap detail across the back.

As far as wardrobe essentials go, Gospel Voom’s Docs have to be right up there. Massively customisable with extra polish, lace and toe cap options available in store, the real beauty of this boot is that is literally morphs before your eyes into three distinct shapes – Pristine, Abused and Loose. Pick your shape and then colour everything from the boot to the laces, eyelets and stitching; there really is something to suit everyone. Exquisitely detailed from the modelling to the textures, you can’t help but be impressed. I highly recommend trying the demo in store to see for yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

Riq Graves has been threatening a boots release for a little; I’ve been waiting on tenterhooks, eager to see what he’d come up with. Reek is definitely one of my favourite places to go shopping, packed with quirky designs from skyboxes to giant knitted tigers and of course the most wonderful winter fashions. There was no disappointment with this fur-lined footwear, cocooning my feet against the snow.

The main part of the boot isn’t colour change, but the leather laces and fur trim are: play with the HUD for your perfect combination. You’ll love the detailing on these, soft leather sewn together in sections with the fur lapping over on the outside seam and to the top of the leg, crossed banding securing and adding interest with a floppy bow tied to the side. If you’re keen but broke, a red version of this boot (minus the HUD options) is available in the 50L Friday sale. Beg, steal and borrow from your friends. They’re so worth it.
