Bijou Boudoir

From Suede

Bijou is still my favourite store and it doesn't get much exposure, so I am showing you some fabby lingerie you probably have not seen before, it is called Lacy Animal and the quality of the work is outstanding every detail has been carefully done.

From Suede

The lingerie comes in all layers with items matched together and separate, so there is a lot of choice with how to wear it, the only thing I didn't like was the stockings, basically because I like sheer black stockings with lingerie, just a quirk, so I swapped them out.

Now I did find something wonderful in Bijou for free, this pair of incredible black makeup dressers, they are incredibly prim heavy approximately 300 each, but the detail is outstanding and you can always cheat by attaching it to a body part and then using edit to move it into whatever position you choose.

From Suede

I love black backgrounds and these just blend in so well, it is defintely a photographers dream prop. Here are two close ups of the items on the dresser top, so gorgeous and did I mention free..well I just say it again. F R E E !!!!!

I have a Plummy * accent *

From 52 weeks of colour

Week 4 of Luna Jubilee's 52 weeks of Colour.

Plum is such a nice colour and if your British and went to Public School, you tend to have a plummy accent, which I have in RL, and also you can see by my shopping spree, I did spend some time in Harvey Nichols ( Bloomingdale's British cousin)

So here is my offering

From 52 weeks of colour

I went for the Harlow dress in purple from Ibizarre, matched up with socks stuffed into my expensive Stiletto Moody Boots, and matched up with my bargain bag from Kookie which I got ages ago in a special, I love ostrich leather in RL, so if I see it in SL I always snap it up.

For my face I blended my Nellie and Audrey Skins again, with Nellie on the eyes and Audrey on the mouth, my hair is from Truth Imogen in chocolate, even though they are hidden by my hair I have cute purple earrings on from N'Soul.

So I tp'ed over to see.. whoop whoop, Cool clothes makeup and hair and shoes, all incredible but this Avant garde makeup on the tattoo layer by Lovely Mi.. Oh yeah, A perfect fit to my dress

Goldenrod, The Luna Jubilee Challenge

From Suede

I have been watching this challenge with a lot of interest and I really enjoyed looking at all the different ideas everybody has come up with, I wanted to participate before but I kept missing it. I saw that lots of people had a bit of trouble with this colour and I had trouble too, but it was trouble choosing what to wear, I love gold and have a lot of it in my inventory.

From Suede

For this outfit I went for Vintage Style, with Mackenzie from Last Call and a very old group gift from LeLutka, which is this super bag which I have always loved. teamed up with leggings from PO on Le.Look Sim and brand new VIP gift group shoes from Purrfect 10.

I wanted to go for a sandy dessert kind of location shoot and I travelled around a bit and then found this sim, which is actually a Gor sim so I was lucky to get out with my virtue intact, but when I saw that lovely donkey, I knew I had my shot.

Kyoot

From Suede

I love the incredible builds I see in Second Life, and one of the most fun things are the Fashion Stores builds, beautiful, strange, quirky and amazing and some like the Kyoot build is just clever and out of the box.

It is a bright white store sitting in a small lake of oil, with pumps pouring out oil and a little flowers in the ebony lake, if only in the real world, flowers would grow on oil. With a gorgeous background of an oil rigging in black and white, it is quite a skybox.

It is such a unusual idea and it totally works, the other thing I like about the Kyoot Store is the fact it is not overfull, I can see everything clearly and not visually overwhelmed and of course with less stuff it loads fast, a huge plus in my life.

From Suede

From Suede

I really think this would be a great on location photo shoot for my photos, I used Studio light, so that the white would stay bright white. The texures are so great they just carry my photograph off by themselves. There are quite a few scripted items which add to the atmosphere.. steam jets and fans and of course the pumps pouring out the crude oil which I mentioned before.

Hunting for the Goodies

Diamond is Mine Hunt
November 14th to November 30th, 2010

From Suede

I am not much on hunting and hunts, I am a bit lazy and I often find I cannot organize my stuff after I get it, this time I decided to be smart and I am only doing 20 shops at a time, saving the things I like and deleting the things I don't, after every trip before it gets out of hand.

The following photos are showing what I like best so far, there is more, but I will wait until tomorrow to post those items, I am using the poses I got on the hunt from Diesel and in each photo my lipstick is different, from the huge set, from Atomic Bambi also on the hunt.

I really love this top from Butterfly Effect, although it didnt rezz completely on every snapshot and the Black boots from Mimi's choice are incredible, just as nice as my Prestige Boots from Bax and that is a complement.

N'soul

From Suede

I found a super little designer shop through the feeds and I actually went over there to get a great pair of earrings, and while I was there I saw the cutest dress, so I matched it up with a pair of leggings I bought at Le.Look sim a while back and the new gift shoes from Purrfect 10, even though I know every blogger on the grid has already done it. I specifically loved this dress as it can be worn with trousers or without, the sequined pattern goes completely around the body and it has good seams, it has a ribbed textured material and nice folds.

The shoes are super and even though viewer 2 is a pain, I have to admit it fixed those shadows around the shoes, which makes for excellent photo taking and now you can have your shoe over another texture without any ugly shadows.

Styled By Sophia

From Suede

As some of you might know I live in Los Angeles in the Real World, where style consultants are a normal part of life, and here in SL, sometimes we got the Lindens but don't 'have a clue. I am a creature of HABIT and I have had this shape more or less since the beginning of time, and when I was talking to my friend Sophia, we discussed this and boom... I have a new shape, So I let her take charge and here is what happened.....

From Suede

I am wearing the Elle skin in both photo shoots from Belleza, which is the current gift and the Naomi shape which matches it from SophistiSHAPES. All lingerie are from the Sophia Collection which is her new enterprise, and I must say the textures are outstanding and more than reasonably priced for this level of quality.

From Suede

From Suede

So, basically, I have on the Naomi shape in both shoots, but we used Bellezia Suntan for the darker look with Truth hair, which made her look more wild and aggressive with a lip ring thrown in for good measure, the lighter softer blonde look, is the fair skin in the gift pack, teamed up with floaty soft lingerie and soft curls from Anaglog dog, I did discover that the fringe ( bangs to you Americans) can stay on your head and so I can have some fun highlights around my face. I did feel all sexy in the blonde look, with curves all over, my normal look has little a cups, one of my male friends said I looked like Denise Van Outen so I will take it as a complement.

From Suede

It is fun to switch it up especially when you are doing it with someone who does it for a career.. run along to SophistiShapes and try something new.. your gonna like it.

Tanga, Tanga

From Suede

I went back today for the first time in ages to Bijou to see what they had new instore, and they had a lot of new clothing items I haven't seen before. After browsing the entire shop for about 30 minutes I decided on the outfit pictured below.

I really liked this outfit as it has a lot of different options with and without stones, a bra top by itself, as well as camisole top with also comes with or without decorative stones and it is teamed up with very cute trousers with flared bottoms, I actually thought later they would have looked great with boots as well as the clunky shoes I teamed them up with.

From Suede

The cat in the picture is my new Kitty called Tangerine, or Tanga for short and if you continue think along, you might realise Tanga is a type of Knicker which covers your.. P*&^%Y... LMAO, well I did used to be the editor for a sexblog..grins.. sometimes that veneer of respectability just cracks a bit.

So as you can see I am still developing my Ginger look for the Autumn and I bought some super hairstyles from Damselfly which I will be previewing over the next couple of posts.

++Honey++

From Suede

Whilst I was walking around the Japan Fashion Week Show I noticed this great special offer from the Japanese Store Honey, It is a great buy consisting of a jacket and top and also shorts and the bottom of the top is scripted for both colour change and size, there are quite a few colour change options, all really nice and metallic looking.

From Suede

I teamed it up with some great leggings I found from {MV}, back in the day in RL I actually had a pair of legging exactly like this which I teamed up a huge black sweater and little boots,very similar to the look I went for in the photos. I have photos of them, which I would post up here, but I look like a complete dork.. so I won't. giggles.
