We Love 22769

This blog post is dedicated to Manuel Ormidale & Paco Pooley the creative souls of the store & brand 22769, not only am I a fan of their designs & work (I especially love the textures used in their creations) but I adore them as people too! It's pretty hard not to actually as they are 2 of the most warm hearted, fun, down to earth people you're ever likely to have the privilege of coming into contact with.

My fellow adorable blogger Dagmar Haiku loves them so much that she decided to dedicate an exhibition to them at Lust4Art an art gallery which she succesfully manages. It is essentially  a collection of works from friends and bloggers dedicated to the designs of 22769. The exhibition will run from 22nd January - 29th February and you'll find it > HERE so come along and take a peek, If the boys are around I'm sure they will make you most welcome too!

A different me

Recently I've received some different shapes to blog, for the most part of my blogging history I've been rather attached to a shape called 'Lana' by Xanthe Audeburgh of CS shapes and as such have been very reluctant to try anything else, afterall our shape is our identity. It seems to me however, that the shape creators out there tend to get a bit of a raw deal for that very reason. A great shape can compliment and change the look of a skin dramatically so it's important to have a little experiment, most shape stores have demos and it's important to utilise that facility. Believe me there have been many times I wish I'd tried demos before I rushed to buy. Anyway this week I tried out Jemma by Bodacious bodies which a super curvy luscious lady and I Love her!

Tweed

Loving the tweed this season thank you very much! and so the new release outfit from Vero Modero was a huge hit with me! detail on the fabric is superb too although not clearly shown in my pic as i've added a bit of opaque and sepia to give it a little vintage feel.

I happened to stumble across this cute little hair & skin store which is new to me and going to be a firm favourite too I reckon! there aren't many hair styles to choose from at the moment, but what there is I love and for only 100L for the hair I certainly can't complain. Oh p.s Fashionably dead has a half price hair sale too if you're a hair junkie like me.... woot!

Oh yes Woot! being a huge fan of all things WOot I adore these tibetan looking wood bracelets, there is a set for the left & right although I'm only wearing one set in this picture.

Feathered accessories

Here are some items that I have been wanting to blog for a while but have had trouble with SL so I've not been able to take any pictures arghh! don't ask! So i'd better mention the trousers which are the November group gift at 22769 quickly before they vanish! as always 22769 group gifts have a male and female version and Novembers gift includes a lovely woolen sweater not shown in my pic but is still available in store.

The Boots are brand new at Skifija and as always are fabulous quality! They come with a hud which allows you to change colour of every single element of the boot and offers 1 million colour choices! which means you can find a colour to match every outfit. Now if you don't feel that 599L is bargain enough for so many options , worry ye not! as Skifija group members get an exclusive discount of 50% off on Fridays.

Better just mention the hunt items too. This luscious skin is a hunt item from Rockberry and has 4 shade options to suit all . It is part of the peace on earth Hunt more details of which can be found HERE. Also the beautiful feathered headband is part of the Diamond is mine hunt, more details can be found HERE
