lotd241016 - Time travel and Laziness

This blog post has been weeks in the making! Because I'm lazy, that is, though. I haven't been in SL much and every time I log in I see this outfit I'm wearing and go "gosh I look cute, I should blog that" and then....I don't. So I've been wearing this for like 3 weeks now. I stink. (I am so procrastinating that I wrote this post yesterday and didn't actually finish, so now the dates are wrong, IT'S LIKE TIME TRAVEL)

So lets do the rundown!

I generally avoid applier clothing unless it's for layering, it just feels like a step backwards a lot of the time but it actually does have a lot of advantages, for instance, fit will always be perfect. And this incredibly pretty cami by Nylon Outfitters, the lace on it is so delicate, I feel like it would be difficult to get that feeling of lightness on full mesh clothing. PLUS wearing it, I don't have to worry about what fits underneath my coat.

My Thessaly coat came out last year, by Schadenfreude, but at the time I was a Toddleedoo, and so I wasn't able to take full advantage of its awesomeness. It has a big hood, which you can wear up or down with a click, and comes in several eye-soothing shades with Allegory's wonderful swirls on them, and looks even better if you're a little more statuesque than I am.

My pants are by Blueberry and what I love about them is that they're not ultra low-cut (no bum crack here) but they're also not soooo high-waisted that you can't find a shirt that works with them. I fatpacked the colourful leather option, but there's also a denim pack. I like how the orange here is a sort of creamsicle shade, it's like a more soft autumn look.

The shades of green in my fri.day shoes mirror the greens in my jacket so nicely, and I've accesorized with a ribbon choked from an old Junbug gacha - I played that thing so much, I've got about a million of these, and GDit's new Fishing for Compliments set, comprising of the bag and the matching colorful fishscale nails.

I didn't capture it too well in the pictures, but this hair by Doe is actually an updo, the lush curls at the front are in fact the bangs of the style, it's really very pretty.

Now I feel like I need to wear something spookier, the creepytime approacheth and here's me all pumpkin-spice-latte fallwear!

lotd080816 - Pokemon OG

Like most of the universe, I have been playing Pokemon Go and having a lovely time at it. Three guesses what team I...well. Yeah. It's a given really. It's the most Hufflepuff of all the PoGo teams for sure! But I've been playing Pokemon almost since the start. ALMOST. My first was Pokemon Yellow, which ties in nicely with Instinct. I guess Gen 1.5, I've been playing since. On my I think Pokemon Y Black 2 card, I've got a full living Pokedex, all 650 pokemon who existed up to that point, transferred painstakingly from games going back to the era of GameBoy Advance. 

I'm pretty cool. (this is a lie)

So, onto what I'm wearing here! My t-shirt is one I actually have in RL, albeit in a rather more form-fitting size. It (the SL version) is from Vicarious Youth, upon whom I became somewhat dependent in the period I was an SMB-sized child, but for a lot of her stuff she actually offers a LOT of sizes, for instance this baggy tee includes standard sizes for male and female adults, big kids, and toddleedoo kids. It's a really nice comfortable fit. 

The majority of my accessories here are from a gacha by Astralia at the Manga Fair 2016, which features pokedex thingies, visors, belts, pokeballs and so on, in all the team colors plus Jigglypuff pink, and some rather fantastic Rare backpacks. 

My boots are by Schadenfreude, and are actually rather festive snowboots, but I felt like they served me better for the idea of hiking around a forest hunting Pokemon than the high heeled sandals I was wearing before!

It's been an exciting week for me! I've joined the team of Seraphim, those lovely angels who cover the events, now one of them is me, go figure! So that's been a lot of work, getting familiar with how things are done and so on. It's fun though, and rewarding. And I've ordered a new PC for my birthday, which is very yaysy! Also, we got a hosepipe in RL. It's the little things that delight me. Sorry, I'm lame. And my blog got a new layout and now it looks less ungood! Which you can see, unless you're reading this via a feed, in which case, click through, my blog got a new layout, now it looks less ungood! :D

You know what isn't lame? The Arcade. Which you might have heard of maybe. Anyway nearly everything in this post is from the June round of The Arcade, there's so much lovely and I've barely even scratched the surface - I've trawled the early yardsales, that's it. 

So you might notice I'm looking a little on the tan side. Pink Fuel's skin in Arcade, Elsie, is GORGEOUS, so fresh and cute. But it only comes in a new tone, Biscuit, which is something like 5 shades darker than my beloved Porcelain. But it's sooo pretty. So so pretty. So we'll pretend I've been out in the sun. In my swimsuit, from Flowey! The Betty swimsuit comes in 12 colours but I like this one best because the colours remind me of the first Malibu Barbie, which I saw in a book about collectible Barbies which I used to be obsessed with. It's actually not at all similar, but it's what it triggers in my head and I like that!

I have two friends with me, from Schadenfreude and silentsparrow. When I first saw Schadenfreude's Kiwis, I screamed at Allegory "KIWIFRUIT BEARS" and then felt stupid because I hadn't meant to say bears. I had meant to say kiwifruit though because sometimes it's fun to be dumb. So I compromised and now shall call them kiwifruit bear birds. It's okay. They're adorable, they can take it. 

Silentsparrow's ridiculously loveable Catkins have some of the friendliest faces I have ever seen, and the majority of them are based on in some way the real cats of various people in SL and Plurk who hyasynth knows. I don't have a cat in RL, so I don't get that honour. It's sad. But not these guys! Except the Grumpy Rare. I assume he's sometimes sad.

Ooh and guys look at my haiiiirrr. It's from the Olive gacha, which isn't just hair this round but a whole sleepy set of furnitures, but this is the most perfect bedhead, look at it, loooook at iiiiit, and that little wisp at the top. It's so very nice. 

And my shoes! YumYums is closing and having a big sale, and as part of that, their gachas are all 25L, and so I got the shoes and here they are and I love them.

Yesterday I made this: http://www.fivehearthome.com/2015/01/15/snickerdoodle-mug-cake/ and it was wonderful, I suggest you do likewise. Because I was so full of cinnamon sugar and butter, that is why I didn't get this post done yesterday like I had intended to. So like, sry.

The top I'm wearing today was something I couldn't resist from the last round of Genre, which was Rockabilly. It isn't anymore, sorry, this round is Anime. But last round was Rockabilly and I got this awesome tie-top by Goth1c0 there. You can only really see it properly in my headshot this post because DAAAAAAAMN the ass on these jeans, by Addams, from the current round of Kustom9. 

I faatpacked them because I love the shape so much, but also worthy of much note is that the three sections there are all mix and match to great effect. Not shown here, there is also an attached belt with a skull buckle that can be changed all sorts of ways, or hidden, as I have done here.

My hair is by Doe (formerly Ploom) at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, it's one of two variations of this particular style, and I love that it lets me do my streaky-thang where I'm too chicken to go all blonde. The roses and headband are texture change too, and the other version has a veil! Very elegant.

Originally I was wearing different shoes with this, but then I saw these by 20.five and was all like !!!!!!! because look at them all laced up like that, they are so very sexy. The lacing can be changed to one of five colours too, which is a nice bonus. 

My tattoo is by Insanya, who has been working tirelessly to update their older stock to the current appliers. Seriously, with all the various parts out there these days, that is no small task, and I really appreciate the work put in, because this tattoo, I do love, and have actually featured on this blog before in its old System state, back in the day, and so on. (the "day" was actually less than a year ago, but that's 12 years in SL time)

And I'm not wearing lashes, because I rather like the effect this liner gives without them. It's dramatic and tired at the same time. Just like me.

Yay I'm away from home and on my laptop and so all my pictures are jaggedy like this! Woo! Sorry, this is how it's gonna be for the next couple of months. 

Here I'm doing a joint post with Persephone Paine from Dressing in Pixels because I'm sitting next to her right now in real life! So here we are, in our finery from Collabor88. A really nice cozy downbeat theme this month with some nice alternatives to February's usual red-and-pink-and-hearts overdose. I think the colour palate is designed around this year's Pantone color of the year, Marsala.

I'm wearing the new skin from Lara Hurley, this is the first of her skins I've tried and it's a bit less pale than I've become accustomed to but it's really so very pretty in the face. 

So here we are both wearing the Plaid Heart dress by Katat0nik at Collabor88, and the two beautiful hairs Clawtooth has out, on me Yvette, and on Persephone, Erica, which has bangs. Perse is also rocking the full set of silentsparrow's Forest Love barettes which I gave a preview of a few posts ago. We're also wearing the Yummy's Best Friends necklaces because we're secretly in middle school.

I've also got on the knee socks by Atomic, which are system or appliers, with mesh tops, and Fri.day's Marsali flats, while Perse is wearing Ingenue's Cecily flats. 

Behind us is a couple of silentsparrow's Hunter's Kiss artworks, which are also available as stunning necklaces by Schadenfreude at Collabor88. It's been a good haul.
