July 2010


Reading
These trousers by Mimikri are the business: I’ve shown them here with their flares, but you also get regular cuffs, and they will work with several types of outfit, floaty or more fitted like this. I mixed in a couple of monochrome pieces from two Ibizarre sets, and kept on my Mishti top for a spash of colour.
I also couldn’t resist this bookshelf prop from Hopscotch. It adds to the decor even without the poses (it’s colour change, though for these photos I kept it in the original white).

Utopia 3 glow
Everyone blogged this caftan when it came out, but I’ve only just got round to trying it on. It flows beautifully (as shown in the pictures of me doing Tai Chi, below) and I love these beads wiith it, they pick out the colours nicely. The first picture was taken in the Utopia 3 sim: it doesn’t show the colour of the outfit, but it seemed to fit the mood of it (I didn’t alter the picture’s colour, that was the orange glow of the setting).

Windsurfing in Bora BoraThe new swimwear from G.Field put me in a happy holiday mood. I’m wearing mens shorts and the women’s bikini top, just seen under kimono jacket. A happy coincidence was the pretty Hump Day items from Puarangi Designs, the whole pink Gypsy whole set (I’m just wearing an anklet and a bracelet, and the earrings, though you can’t really see them under my hair), and a set of hair flowers (I’m also wearing a second hair flower, from Feather). I fished out some old G.Field shoes that seemed to match nicely, and were surprisingly practical for windsurfing in the Bora Bora sim ….

Flora
I love anything with butterflies, and so I headed straight for Tekeli-li when I saw the new Flora set blogged. I just invested in the hair and the bracelets. They have intricate metalwork, with a butterfly and blossoms, all colour change (metals and gems). I show them here with two different looks. In the first one I went for a plain, almost severe setting, using two pieces I had got in Silentsparrow’s 50 Linden sale.

Flora
Like everyone else I also fell in love with this kimono jacket, and I thought the hair worked with this, as it has a Japanese feel. Mind you, I think that (like with RL kimono jackets) the jacket looks good with dresses, jeans and on its own 😉

Looking at my clothes
If I had as few clothes as this in my inventory, managing it would be really simple.
Clothes in my closet (a line of pictures of AWRAM-VIIE clothes, a freebie instore) plus a skirt from “Grandma”; wardrobe by Cheap Cheap; Butterfly picture by LISP; Green basket by Secondspaces; Rug from Melino Style; Bed by Lyla’s Eclectic Furniture; Hatbox (on top of wardrobe) is an old Pixeldolls’ purchase box; House by Y’s
Morning coffee
This shows the hair style in more detail
Coffee maker (gives cups of coffee) from TESH GARDENS, steaming red kettle from & tissue box by Kloka, kitchen unit from Bitter Vanilla; House by Y’s

Blue black white
I already had on the firework necklace and earring set from Earthstones (they fizz like sparklers, but not in a blingy way, I think) and the new boots from Schadenfreude when I saw the gatcha dress (only 13 Linden) from Blue Blood. It seemed made for the shiny boots and I enjoyed posing in the moonboat at Black Bacchanal (you can buy that, too).

Hanging in Rustica
I was exploring the Rustica sim and found myself hanging by my manicured fingernails above the foaming ocean. Fortunately I remembered in time that I could fly.
This is wonderful boho summer hair (the colour-change circlet comes with it) and I think the Ticky Tacky necklace has a similar feel to the circlet. My sundress is probably prettiest in its orginal cream colour, but I tinted it to pick up the pink touches in my G Field boots. The dress is just the right length to show off the boots.
