Morning beauty

More great finds at The Instruments April Round. 

I love this elaborate hair from Letituier which looks like it is inspired by the geisha's hairstyle. To create this simple and yet stunning look with the strong colour, I have on from Deche's Urban Statement the eye paint and lipstick.

With the gorgeous nail art design from Luna, I present to you a soft and yet alluring look of the day.

You are my Spring

Spring is a wonderful time of the year where everything seems to come alive again after months of dull weather. That's what I always hear Scott say but from where I come from, the pace of life is way too fast. I wouldn't mind slowing down for a couple of months or even to hibernate in some winter places. :D

So, before I snapped back to the crazy RL lifestyle, I would love to grab the hands of my sweetheart and go for a walk in the SL April sun.

Scott and I took to Devil's Point for this shoot. I'm wearing a new release from Lybra. It's very versatile with separate top with plunging neckline and a flirty skirt, which you can wear it as a set or separately. Both skirt and top are HUD controlled with 8 different textures. I found my matching accessories and heals from Loordes of London and the short summer hair from Dura just complete my look for the day.

Please look back

At the April round of The Instruments, you are going to find this chic sleeveless top and pants from Ghee. The blouse comes with a texture hud. What I love about Ghee is that all the items are sold separately and you can easily mix and match to get the unique colour combination that reflects your style.

Trill me

Spring has sprung and with it comes with the requisite wardrobe overhaul. To begin, Thrill me from Rayne Couture is one perfect outfit for a relaxing afternoon at the mall to a sassy salsa dancing in the evening. It comes in 4 pastel colours with the option to wear it with or without a belt. 

If the sun gets too hot, shade from the intensifying rays with the Floral Bouquet Hat from Xen's Hat. There are 8 gorgeous colours to match all of your favorite Spring ensemble.

Timelessly Sexy

April round at the The Instruments begins April 11. The first outfit I am showing you is one of my favourite from Culco. It's a timelessly sexy black slip dress with plunging neckline and back that can be dressed up or down depending on what you pair it with. It transitions perfectly from day to night with the addition of statement jewelry and a change of shoes. T-Front Dress is designed especially for Maitreya, Belleza, Slink and Classic bodies.

While you are at work

It's a misconception that you can't be unique if you are wearing mesh heads. Catwa is one of the popular choices for mesh heads and each time I look at how different people style them, I am totally amazed at how amazing they look. 

It takes a little patient to tweak the Gwen head from Catwa at first but I just love how she looks in the end! First, I tweak the head size, stretch and length to make Gwen the way I love. Next, Gwen comes with her own pairs of eyes and of course you can replace them with any mesh eyes. I am wearing my favourite Ikon black eyes. For a perfect fit, I had set the eyes size and depth to 0. For those who need more help, CLICK HERE to watch a video on fitting mesh eyes.

The final touch and the most important is to get a fabulous skin that you really love. Different skins on the same mesh head do make a remarkable difference. I have always loved the skins from amara beauty. Lucia skin which is made specially for Gwen comes in 8 skin tones, each with 5 eyebrows option and matching lipsticks. Appliers for Maitreya and Slink is available free at her main store!

To complete the look, I have Sofia Dress from Lybra that is designed for Slink physique, Hourglass and Maitreya Mesh bodies. Sofia Dress comes in 8 silk textures. For accessories and shoes, head down to Loordes of London . You will definitely find something to suit all styles.

Happy shopping!

Dare to dream

"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue 

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. 

Someday I'll wish upon a star 

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where trouble melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me."

Never stop dreaming as dreams do come true. Never let anyone or anything take away your courage to pursue your dreams for dreams become reality.

Freya

Freya is a goddess of love and fertility and the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses. She is the patron goddess of crops and birth, the symbol of sensuality and was called upon matters of love.

Dressed in her breezy top and skirt and her favourite strong yet elegant Freya headpiece with gem/band/ chain texture change, Freya is once again out making fire with steel and flintstones to bless the townsfolk of Varend.

I look to you

Another shoot I did at Stuttgart. It's really a picturesque sim with many places for fantastic pictures. As a blogger, I am always on the look out for places. I am totally amazed at the creativity of these sim owners and how they could put together an idea and make it a 'reality'. One plus point is that you can rezz  your stuff at Stuttgart. However, do remember to pack up before you leave.. :D

Today, I am wearing this Uriel outfit from Masoom. If you are a fan of Masoom like me, you are growing to love her more and more... Amber, the owner and designer of Masoom is getting her hands on original meshes nowadays. What I adore about her creations, beside the originality, is that most of her outfits come with a texture hud so we are not likely to be seen with the same outfit any time.

To accessorise, I found Loordes of London one of the best choices. I love the details in all her accessories and if you cam closer you can even see the diamonds around the watch strap. You can also set the time to your own time zone and I love that so much since I always get all mixed up with the time in SL. 

You will definitely be spoilt for choice and be over the moon just knowing how affordable they are. TP to the mainstore and check them out.

Walk with me

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon for a stroll with my baby Bo. Dressed in my favourite little bareback dress in acid green from Lybra and a pair of comfy wedges from Loordes of London, we found a perfect place for a cup of aromatic coffee after the walk at Stuttgart.

Anita dress comes 10 colour with a flat and fun pattern version especially designed for Hourglass, Maitreya, Slink. The wedges fits Slink, TMP and Belleza mesh bodies.
