Midas Touch

Desidelia Vella's Fiona Skin was definitely a welcomed addition to my collection of ebony skins. Anybody who knows me, knows that I adore the Fiona skin and that I'm constantly making shapes to test it's versatility and achieve unique looks. So, I can't even begin to explain how estatic I was to receive an advance copy of Fiona Gold, a lovely golden brown version of the increasingly popular original.








In these pictures, I've tried to give you a closer look at the detail without exposing my goodies. I've also taken the opportunity to show off some hot new releases from Miamai (low rise jeans in onyx), Stiletto Moody (Bare Katherine in Black Python), and Truth (Isle hair in Espresso).






I chose to make this shot just a tad darker so that you can see the shading details on the skin and the sexiness of the lowrise jeans.








I think this pic gives a good view of the skin's soft look and the excellent blending job by Desidelia. The short and sassy Isle hairstyle and Takara Bangles (zebra fur) from Mandala were added to complement this look. Fiona Gold is not available yet; however, it is expected to be released in the next week or so at Free Speerit.

Braving the Abyss

My inventory is out of control. I own more stuff than I could ever wear and I continue to add to the abyss daily because of my shopping habit. Come to think of it, that's not much different than my RL wardrobe situation (lol). Unfortunately, I can't seem to help myself. Admittedly, I love to shop and I love to share many of the fabulous goodies I find in SL with you via this blog. So, here's a look at some of my favorite new inventory items, I hope you enjoy them.






First up, is a stunning cocktail dress called Natalia from Pulchritude, which means beautiful and aptly describes this dress. Some of you may know that Juliette Pashinin, Pulchritude owner and designer, makes some of some of the sexiest body paints in SL (includng a cute new Halloween design). However, it is my opinion she makes some of the cutest dresses and lingerie too!

It was my love for feathers that first drew me to Juliette's design style. Now, I own just about everything she's made. I find her style to be simplistic, yet daring, chic, and sexy. I also love the fact that her clothing is well made, and affordably priced.

The look above is rounded out with more favorites which include a pair of cool pearl and chain bracelets by Dadina Dosei of DD Style (from the Gothic Rock fullpack) and the lovely new Neyya pumps in black suede from Maitreya.






Next, is an adorable little hat called Hallow's Eve that I got from Atomic Bambi. I love it! In fact, it's the closest thing to a Halloween costume that I've worn in years. Additionally, I'm really feeling the shallow water eyes from Poetic Colors, Innocent lashes (gentle) from Glow, and Tanya hair (espresso) from Truth.


More of my current favorites include Evie Hair from Truth (I could wear it every day if I did not have a thousand other styles that needed attention). Last, but certainly not least, I am absolutely crazy about the Fiona Skin from Free Speerit (pictured above in the Night makeup option)! It's an awesome Ebony skin and I wear it often because it's so versatile and photgraphs well.
