Friends

Hey, have you ever wondered why some people make friends easily in SL. A simple 'hello' is the answer. Yesterday, I rezzed onto my platform and was styling this fantastic Boho outfit from Rayne Couture when.... 

I received an IM from Mabel!!! 

ℳabel White: debbieeee

ℳabel White: hugsss

小薇: hi Mabelllllll "")

ℳabel White: sent u chat on fb

ℳabel White: lol

小薇: oh...

                                                                              [To Mabel, I forgot about the SL TOS, I hope you                                                                                   are okay with this sharing of our conversation                                                                                          without your prior consent... haha ]

I was smiling when I saw that she was wearing the similar outfit from Rayne. So I tped to her and she suggested that we take a picture together and blog it.. Good idea!

We had so much fun and, of course, we want to do more of this together in the future... :D

How to wear a fashionable avatar

With the creation of Mesh, SL fashion has taken a new height over the past 1 year. There are now more interesting way to wear your avatar, though you must have the patience to practice to make perfect.

Maitreya's mesh body Lara has been one of the most popular choices since its launch. There are 4 updates over the past 7 months to fine tune the body to near perfection. What I love most about Maitreya body is its alpha cuts and its total compatibility with Slink hands and feet. It was a clever move of Lelutka to create a mesh head that is compatible with Maitreya's Lara body. Both brands have worked together to create a new trend in SL. 

There are 10 preset skin tones, lipsticks, eye shadows and tintable eye lashes and hair bases which means you don't really need anything else if you have both the Maitreya body and Lelutka head. However, you will then probably end up having many twins in SL. :)

The solution, is to twink the head size, stretch, length and eyes spacing and depth for a unique look and of course CHANGE YOUR SKIN. 7 Deadly s{K}ins has recently created the NEW Lelutka head applier for its Patience skin and June group skin. It is one of the few skin stores that has quite a complete range of appliers for Maitreya, Lelutka, Belleza, Slink, Tango, TMP body and head, Wowmeh, Lola, Phatazz, Lena, and Banned. 

All you need now are just skin appliers! Gone are the days where you need to wear a skin. Head down to 7 Deadly s{K}ins and indulge in a whole new shopping experience now.

SL fashion Trends

SL fashion has always been a manifestation of RL fashion. However, of late, RL fashion brands are using SL designers for their creations from SL. Angela Jarman's (Violaine Villota in SL) Fancy Fairy wings have found their way to the runway of Victoria's Secret's fashion shows. This trend can be very encouraging for SL designers whom I see are becoming more creative and realistic in their creations.

I love mesh and I am elated to see that some designers are including colour or texture changing hud to their creations. For us shoppers, this trend allows us to be more creative too in our styling at no extra cost.

ghee is one of the designers whom I am seeing more texture changing hud in their newer collections. One of which can be found at FAD Fashion Event that opens its door on May 28. You can find ghee's Portia blouse and skirt in 6 different colours which you can easily mix and match. Their Portia Leather Bag and Heels are material enabled and unrigged mesh that come with texture hud and resizer. 

I am also seeing more rl looking skin such as this Debbie skin from 7 Deadly s{K}ins at the  Event @ 1st.  It is a perfect summer skin tone if you love a little freckles on the cheek. 

To meet the demand of mesh craze shoppers, Izara, the owner and designer of 7DS, has in her store major skin appliers such as Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, TMP, Eva Body and Tango. New in the collection is the TMP head installer for the Patience skin and the June group gifts for girls which is sold at only 50L. It's definitely a steal. Hurry! I am sure we will see more TMP head appliers at 7DS soon. Isn't it wonderful for us who own TMP mesh body and head!

Summer Dance

I never have so much fun with a formal gown for a long time. When I tried the Athens Formal Gown for the first time, I couldn't help but be amazed by the well detailed texture of the gown. It fits perfectly on my Maitreya body and best of all, it can be worn as a formal gown with the layers of organza or as a short cocktail dress without them. Athens comes with a glove and stocking hud for Maitreya, Slink and Omega. 

If there is only one gown you are getting, Athens has to be the one! Grab the limo and tp to Sweet Tea Couture now...
