Armidi: Classics Never Fail...

Sometimes, in my hunt for new stores to blog about, I forget about the old classics that carried through my noob days.

One classic store that had withstood the different fads and phases of SL time has been Armidi. Classic and beautiful - amazing colors and great designs.

With that said, let me establish for those of you that are not very familiar with me, purple is my favorite color. So to find this amazing jewel toned shirt with matching shorts, was perfect for me. Purple shoes? Check. From Armidi? OF COURSE. Not only did I buy ONE pair of purple shoes, I bought three.

So Bev's building, and I'm loafing around photographing my fave new outfit. :) Hope you enjoy.

OH! My only warning is..be careful of the prim cuffs. They can give you a hard time if you don't play with them a little first.

But Spring is coming..and who doesn't want an outfit to make them feel completely excited about the season? :)

Outfit: Armidi: {Gisaci} Buone Vacanze - Ukruan Purple
Shoes: [Armidi Gisaci] Barcelona Slingback - Eggplant

Morph Me Beautiful, Baby!

So every now and then, I go on a mission to have something.

Sometimes it's shoes, sometimes it's clothes..a hair..a pose..a whatever.

This time, I went on a photo morphing bender.

What is photo morphing, you ask? It's the blending of RL images with your SL image..to make an amazing and, sometimes, very beautiful photo. The trick is..finding the perfect SL photographer that can blend the images perfectly.

Now this is actually where the trouble comes in.

Not very many SL photography studios do it. So you search and come up with about a dozen.

Now, having done a few, and figuring out that you CAN drive someone nuts by changing your mind multiple times or asking for changes to the picture..the style..the feel..the best thing for you to do is:

1. Go into the studio with a notion of what you want already. Colors, ideas, feels, photo messages.

2. If you know of a photo you've seen that you like the pose, the style, etc. SEND IT TO TH PHOTOGRAPHER. I maybe wouldn't have driven a few people nuts if I had done that to start with.

3. Don't be afraid to ask for changes - especially considering a morphed photo can run you anywhere from 1,000L to 3,000L.

While I've shot several, the first one I got back were from the VERY kind Marion Falworth of Lavish Photography. I was exact in what I wanted..my reflection in a mirror morphed. I think the results are stunning.



I'm beyond difficult to work with - ask Ayn Tomsen and Hartigan Beck of AHA! Designs. When they custom build homes for me, I come with an exact imagine in mind. This is what I want - what's in my head. I provide pictures, I provide feedback while they work. But that's in the building of a house.

It's a lot harder for me to stick my nose in with a partially finished morph. I just have to wait until it's done and then give my honest feedback.

But I have to say, though the image in my mind was slightly different, the feeling in the picture and the overall look was perfect and on-spot. It's sexy and surreal..very beautiful.

Now the close-up, I offered less direction on. I simply said, I want to look more exotic than just one ethnicity. The results are AMAZING - almost as if she'd read my mind.



So I feel very satisfied tonight. Excited, even. :)

Months ago when I discussed morphed photos with the lovely Stella Stapleton, we were unsure of copyright issues, etc. and agreed to hold off on taking them until we knew more. I'm kind of glad I waited, because now I have more of a feel for what I want out of the picture.

:) Of course, there's more to come.

So, check out Lavish Photography at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Terra%20Neo/151/83/2212

Enjoy!

Suicidal Unborn - Oh My Broken Heart....

Well, I was lucky enough to cross paths with a lovely lady this weekend that passed on the LM to Suicidal Unborn. I stole a few moments in SL and headed over to check it out. I have to say, pleasantly surprised! I love the relaxed feel and the urban feel of the outfits.

So I came across the Nini Dress: Valentine's Special Edition. Mini-dress, broken hearts..very flirty and sexy. What better way to photograph this dress, than with my new kissing booth? ;-)







Not just a Valentine's Day look, in my opinion, it's cute enough to wear year around..and keep those boys begging for more.

It comes with three shirt layers - different nipple versions for you detailed gals. And I'm in LOVE with the buttons at the hem of the skirt.

I did grab a few other items from Suicidal Unborn, but I didn't want to drag my feet on blogging this dress like I have my other new purchases. So take the TP..go over..and SHOP! You can thank me later. ;-)

A Baiastice Punk!

So I'm a huge Baiastice fan - let me freely admit this from the beginning of this post. I own more of the glitter dresses than anyone probably should..but I love them ALL. I adore the colors, the textures, the designs. Hell, I even love the STORE. So when I made my usual brief appearance on SL recently, I popped into Baiastice to see what was new.

I love the sexy punk look in SL, but sometimes it can be TOO much. The clothes can be too heavy..or too dark..not the right amount of sexy punk. There's a fine line, ya know. And then I say the Revolver Short Jacket. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this jacket. An amazing accessory that didn't need anything added to it. It's the perfect sexy punk look. Kinda sexy..kinda edgy. Right up my alley.

Top: Baiastice GeG - Mini Dress: Fuschia
Bottom: Baiastice Pyton - Slim Pants: Black
Jacket: Baiastice Revolver - Short Jacket: Dark Night
Shoes: Moody, baby. :) Almost always Moody.
Hair: Fri.Day - Deena
(That's all you get..LOL)

I love therefore I am loved I believe (in all of you) and I am happy and I hope you are too@ This is my greatest wish, stop searching for Bliss....it is within all of us, stop competing to be the best, satisfy your heart. Happiness is not a new pair of shoes..OMG I said it
Happiness is a place in your heart reserved for people like you...fashion is a state of heart, so is love find it wherever you do and hold it....wear your heart on your sleeve :) not your ego
hell go naked...you know you paid enough for that skin :P
I will never stop loving you all in both worlds

Free as a Bird

1. Head to Morea Style.

2. Get this FREE awesome dress at foot of stairs.

3. Wear the dress.

4. Be humble when you get compliments. (It's a new year - may as well give it a go.)

What is a hostess to wear?

I find myself in lots of gowns as a hostess for The Savoy Jazz Club. I never knew I would get tired of dressing up... but I do! I headed to my new favorite place... Shai ... and found this beaded ruby gown on the 2nd floor of her shop. Who'd have thought she had great stuff upstairs too! The fabric, the flow of the skirt, the sheer beaded jacket... it is a win any way you look at it. It comes in 4 colors too! http://slurl.com/secondlife/casa%20del%20shai/181/131/691/

RGB! Let's hear it!

No real fashion post, but listen up. Go to the Advanced feature. If you don't have Advanced enabled - ctrl alt D. Scroll down to UI. Find the last item - show color under cursor and check it. Now - look at bottom right of your screen. The RGB numbers of any place your cursor hovers is RIGHT THERE. Can you say, "match skin to prim feet?" Yes - I knew you could! Need panties to match? RGB whatever you're coordinating with. Enjoy.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
That is what i said when i tried on the hair from .:ARI:.
I had seen it in the "popular" section of Xstreet and so went to check it out.

There is not a huge selection, but what is there is fabulous!! In my opinion anyway. I picked up 4 styles in black and a very adorable scarf too. Three of the styles are shown below. All have sizing scripts color change scripts. Several have hair accessories built in that can be color changed also.

My good friend Caresse is making jewelery now and i have on her "Filigree" necklace and earrings. She is turning out to be quite talented at building and i look forward to seeing more of her creations and can't wait until she opens a store!


A lot of the clothing i have on is from Bare Rose, which i believe everyone knows i adore.

Black Friday & SL!

I found an invitation in my SL mail this morning to shop with my Lindens at some new locations. Since most of my SL friends were out hitting the RL black friday celebrations I put on my coat and ventured out to see what I could find. I still slip into my favorite Last Call Dark Wash Compliquee Jeans and my Shiny Things Lace-up Brown Boots. But I found a new coat on my spree that seemed to be a perfect warm up for my adventure - A *Shai* Ruby Shearling Coat with burgandy turtleneck underneath for $350L! I'm still contemplating whether to invest in this gorgeous gown found right next door. Could I write it off as a business expense since I hostess at Savoy? This "kimora" evening gown was only one I would love. Right next to it was a collection of "winter gowns." All worthwhile SLvestments! http://slurl.com/secondlife/casa%20del%20shai/181/131/691/

Happy SLhopping!

I have to add a P.S.! Out back of the gowns is a wonderful gazebo full of *Shai* dollarbies! Cute boy jeans and polos (do you not hear boys complaining ALL the time on SL about the lack of fashion?) as well as more coats and bikinis! Gotta <3 SL Black Friday finds!
