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!

Well, I'm still on a redecorating my house kick (as you may note if you saw my previous post, the memorial to my dear old cubby. At this point I've got everything shiny and retextured. Now it's a case of refurnishing. This, for me, means lots and lots of yardsaling. LOTS of yardsaling. Which is where my big bonsai friend here came from. Sure, he's small for a tree, but really, very big for a bonsai. Like a giant dwarf.

One thing about going back to the Porcelain tone of skin is, my ears needed retinting, which became a more pressing need when I put on this gorgeous hair by Spellbound at the Dark Style Fair. Boy am I ever out of practice tinting with a HUD. Appliers have ruined me! 

My awesome leather boots are by Lassitude&Ennui at this round of We <3 Role-Play. I like the way they make me feel like an adventurer. Like when I have ham and cheese and a chunk of bread for dinner and call it "Adventurer's Dinner" because it feels like something you'd bundle up in a kerchief before setting off into the woods, where you meet a giant dwarf, rather than being a not very responsible adult. Only, these are boots, and you also can wear them if you're a responsible adult.

I wore this dress by B.C.C at Kawaii Project for a few days in a size too big because I was too lazy to alpha stuff out, and you could totally see all my boobs. Oops. But it's really pretty, and in-person, layered very delicately too, it's worth checking out. 

My matching collar and cuffs are by Noodles also at We <3 Role-Play, and are OpenCollar scripted to do all sorts of fancy things with poses and chains and various RLV features and comes in 6 colours, so even if you don't want to use those features, you can still look pretty!

My septum piecing here by The Horror you can't really see in the picture has a little moon cut out of it, it's so cute. You can get it at The Countdown Room, which is a very limited time event, ends this week, so go hurry there.

Oh you know what I forgot to do but didn't notice until I was typing this up? Change my makeup from my last post. I am REALLY on the ball today.Good job me. Luckily I look awesome. This bold clean liner from Nova is just so pretty, and I love the simplicity of Pink Fuel's lipstains. So it all worked out for the best, really.

Various hunts and things going on right now, in all the excitement over the Wayward Hunt (which is actually officially properly started now, and I eventually finished - I am very easily distracted) I forgot to mention the other hunt that I look forward to quite frequently - the Unknown Hunt. As the name would suggest, it focuses only on stores which have been open for a year or less. The item I'm featuring in this post, the awesome flamingo dresser I'm sitting on, is from a store I know well, not unknown at all, Little Llama, the owner of which, the delightful Percey Garcia, I know from Plurk and am so proud of how her brand;s been growing over the past several months. 

My dress is by Miseria on the Wayward Hunt, and coordinates perfectly with the colours I'd already chosen for the luna moths on my adorable little antlers by silentsparrow at IDK. You can tell they're moths not butterflies because they've got these fuzzy antennae and then they are at rest their wings are out flat like that instead of together and sticking up. That's like - the only thing I know about anything.

Conversely, a store I didn't know about that I'm wearing in this post, I first encountered on the Wayward Hunt, the store "Things", which is very hard to find in any kind of search! My tattoos today are from there, though they are not the hunt prize (that's some awesome henna hand tattoos). Anyway, I just totally adored the various shapes and patterns of these tattoos, they're what I often find myself looking for and the prices are great too. If you can find the place, that is. 

I bought PXL's Sweet Lips mesh mouth several months ago when it was first released, but never really had a chance to play with it until now. Of course there was the perennial issue of a lack of appliers, but recently Mochi Milena updated a her appliers for the Doll skin in Vamp with a massive amount of new options, I can't imagine how much work it was, and now I have a perfect skin match and can overlook any minor flaws and I think it looks really fantastic and I'm happy to add it to my pile of mouths.

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.

I've been running around as a kid the last few days. I tweaked my face around quite a lot and am so pleased with the end result, I've been running round buying kids clothes like crazy.

So my jeans, my TD has been wearing for months, since I last brought her out to play, and they're applier-based and so I needed to search for what they were. Turns out they're by S.O Cute, a store which lives up to its name admirably, and these excellent applier-based jeans are a steal at only 15L$. 

My cozy (and honestly, after all the tacky Christmas sweaters this winter, rather tasteful) sweater is by Just Kidding and my boots are a Rare from Ugly Duckling's gacha at this round of Woodland Treasures gacha event. They've got a little bow on the back, so adorable!

The scarf is actually part of an adults outfit I've blogged part of before - Sakide's Thermal outfit, but shrunk down. I like how nicely it coordinates with the boots. 

My lamb friend is by the always precious silentsparrow, at this round of Kawaii Project. The lambs themselves come in various colours and the bows change via a hud too and there's a yellow bow because hya loves me. Also it's all knitty and woolly, and see the little key on its back? When you click that, it plays (slightly creepy) original music box style music.

Monday Meme: Yearbook Smile Challenge

For Strawberry Singh's Monday Meme: Yearbook Smile Challenge 

My smile here actually doesn't use any emoters or such. It's actually achieved with various changes to my shape, plus an openmouth alpha, and two sets of teeth (one mesh, one flat, to fill in the gaps). It's based on me when I was about 17 and going through my half-hearted late 90s goth phase and messy hair, and my husband just looked over and said it looked like me. So that was nice.
