Lately I've been hanging out in Blithe a lot. It's a stunning pair of sims with lots of little areas for hanging out in and taking pictures and so on. Some of the pictures I've taken there are on my Flickr, directly from the SL viewer with no editing, that's how gorgeous the place is. A few days ago a new area opened up there, a bar in an old chapel, and I hurried on over, pausing only to throw together a suitable outfit, since it was an all-too-rare occasion for socializing. See I needed to be a bit casual, but also a bit shabby-chic elegant. I may be guilty of overthinking things a little.

So here's a thing I threw together or a refinement of same.

My lace shirt is something I've worn here before, in a different colour some months ago. It's by Nylon Outfitters and is an awesome little coverup, I'm a sucker for lace overlays and what have you. Underneath it is the supercute Jonquil chemise by Sn@tch, which has a lovely chintzy pattern in various colours. It's one of the things I've changed from my outfit since originally I was wearing the same undershirt as in my last post. But this one is lovely. I'm trying to accumulate long shirts on appliers for layering, it's sort of my bag.

My jeans are newly released from 20.Five and have previously been part of an SLX outfit bearing the same name, Tessa. These are a full version though, and come with a colour-change HUD with 5 different denim shades. I really like the fit of them and the highly defined wrinkles in them.

If you look really really close at my necklace you can see that the litttle tiiiny heart on it has a N on it. It's by Noodles at FaMESHed, and is so adorably dainty. Also, it has a HUD to change the letter, if for some reason you don't want an N on it...

My hair is part of a new set of released by Elikatira. I'm always excited when she puts out new stuff, even though it's so sporadically. There'll always be a part of me back in 2007 trying to bounce into the full region containing the big sales she'd sometimes hold with her old brand, ETD.

I've just realized as I'm typing this that I forgot to include any home/garden items or props in this post. This is because I suck. Please carry on as normal.

Busy day today - various things commencing and whatnot. I started my day in SL by starting the exciting new Wayward Hunt, which is a rebranding of the venerable Zombie Popcorn event group, but it turned out I'd jumped the gun, since it didn't actually start until 1pm SLT, and here I was excitedly running around at like, 5am or something. Stupid timezones. So I plan on picking that up again after I've finished this post, since there's some cracking stores along that trail.

Instead of that, I did the also just-started-today TAG Gacha thingy, which combines the hopping from store to store nature of a hunt with the wallet drainingness of a gacha event! Um but I made it sound much less fun than it is. You wear a HUD and it teleports you to each shop and you click the thing there to show you've been there, and then there's a gacha machine you can optionally play and in each machine you have the chance to win a Rare ticket for a special prize at the end! Phew! The theme for this round is circus sideshow and there's plenty of creepy cute greatest show on earth stuff to play for along the way! 

It's where I met my little friend(s) here, Sai-Khwa, the two-headed monster of Thailand! Lassitude & Ennui's machine is packed full of a circus of cute and special cats, all of whom have their own little story, there's more to Sai-Khwa than meets the eye!

My shirt is by Offbeat at Xiasumi School Festival and I liked it because the ink blot looked like Mickey Mouse. I bought it on hyasynth Tiramisu's recommendation and then I bought the pants she recommended too and then was for some reason startled today when I went to see her and we were dressed the same-ish. On the one hand, I should probably be more original, on the other hand, I could have a much worse occasional stylist than her.

My awesome hair is by Olive at The Kawaii Project. I remember a few years ago, just before mesh was a thing, streaked hair was all over the place and I loved it, throwing a blonde streak all up in there. It's rarer now but I always jump on it when it's an option. My eye makeup is gorgeously layered and by Wicked Peach at Black Fashion Fair which also opened today because today is apparently epic. 

Oh, and my poster is by Frogstar at The End, a post-apocalyptic event which didn't open epic-today, but yesterday, which is close enough. The numbers on the poster can be changed. I chose 626 because of reasons, and if you can guess my reasons, you can be my friend!

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.

Not everyone was set up yet when I visited the blogger's preview of the Geeks n Nerds fair, but there was plenty there to keep my geeky nerdy wallet occupied - it's an event I've been looking forward to since I first heard about it a month or so ago.

My dress is my Katat0nik and is available in various bright colours who assorted comicbook onomatopoeic sound effects emblazoned across the front. Here I am wearing the rather nonstandard BSOD, which I forbade Persephone Paine over at Dressing in Pixels to wear because she has a Mac and thus does not understand the torment of the Blue Screen of Death. It has binary code on the sleeves which my husband pointed out hexadecimal would be more appropriate and I pointed out that he sucks. It was a good exchange. Anyway the dress is fitted mesh, and rigged to fit the Slink Physique mesh body, which is rad.

Also rad are my nails, which are by Fetch and look like rupees from the Legend of Zelda games, and my cool Yoshi-inspired earrings from Frogstar - part of a line including matching necklaces and nail appliers available at Geeks n Nerds.

My hair is blue because I wanted it to be (it is in RL too!), but I left my stubble red because Niv is after all a true redhead. The facial tattoos by Wicked Peach I chose as an elegant alternative to piercings. 

Second Spaces as always hits the mark for humorous everyday clutter with the excellent box of junk you see at my feet, which I have paired for aesthetic value with an older item of hers, a broken monitor.

Geeks n Nerds Fair opens to the public at midnight SLT on November 24th 2014.
