Boyish style

I wouldn't especially call this a tomboy look, yet to me it long a tad masculine. Perhaps it's the short hair which I picked up at Tram, I have to say at 350L I thought this was a little pricey for hair compared to many other hairs out there, so I deliberated for a while before finally buying it.

 You may argue that in real terms it costs barely anything, yet to a shopaholic blogger like me with the distinct reality that It would be rare for me to wear anything more than once, I think hard before I buy, and if it's something that's quality that I think I'll wear again then i'll go for it.

I digress, perhaps it's the sheer make up free skin from Love which I have to say is a pretty fabulous blank canvas in which to add your own make up choices or like me just wear it as it is. In truth I'm not sure what it is that makes me think this whole look is a little boyish but I like it a lot.

Taxidermia

The latest theme at the monthly Flux event is Taxemermia, I challenging subject  to build a theme around no doubt, however I do believe there are some great items, none too wild and wacky but if anything I think the most creative is this outfit from 22769. It embraces the theme and is totally wearable with lots of items to mix & match and I never thought I'd wear horns but these are so divine how could I not?

*Shrug*

Ohhh! I have some yummy stuff and I especially adore these boots from Baby monkey which come with a colour change hud and sock option so I can wear them with every outfit!
The hair is a new release at Love, I adore the curved slightly asymmetric fringe, the hair comes in 2 styles with or without hair tucked behind the ear - I rather like the tucked behind look it's a cute idea.
I am thrilled by the skirt too which looked mesh but isn't hurrah! and is a zombie popcorn hunt item at c'est la vie (look for a candy striped popcorn box)
More from the latest round at XYROOM, yummy smoky eyed skin by style by Kira which is available in dark & light skin colour (I'm wearing the light) and I'm not usually one for much jewelry but you can't help but love the peacock necklace by 1<3 fashion.

My LOTD

More yummy new things! I adore this poncho and sweater combo created by 22769 which is currently at The Gallery Gift Store. The outfit includes shorts, however I do not display them in my picture but the wonderful chunky knit tights are part of the outfit and it has received many compliments whilst i've been wearing it. Hop down there and grab this totally unique creation while you can says I!

The skin is from Love and I simply have to gush about for it's totally flawless quality. There are different shades available and what is so lovely about it is that it really is a perfect flawless base in which to add your own make up. There are many make up options to choose from in store too so you'll have tons of fun choosing. I have picked a heavy eyeliner as I love pale lips and smoky eyes, however I have to add the range of eyeliner options is incredible and as such there'll be one to suit any taste. What better to frame my perfect eyes!

 I have a vast collection of eyes but I always find myself  coming back to the ones Aphotic Gloom and what's more Is I discovered a new range to add to my collection!! how excited was I?! really honestly do go take a look on what is available. What I love most about these eyes is that you have the option of sizes which is perfect for me as I always complain that the irises seem too big for my eyes so I always choose small, they come with prim eyes too for extra wow factor!

Stand out in pixels

Indeed  isn't that what we want to do, stand out in the pixels! make your fashion statement, that's the most wonderful thing about SL fashion. We don't have to worry about body hang ups or what's appropriate for age and as such can wear absolutely anything we like!

I'm totally into these new 'jeggings' at Love - not quite jeans, not really leggings but they're fabulously tight and can be worn on their own or under a skirt as jeans or as leggings - great!

Now here are some freebie gifts that you simply must grab. Firstly the skin in the 'Diamond is mine' hunt (more details can be found HERE you're looking for a diamond hint is next to new skin)  It's from Jesylilo which is always quality and has fabulous tones. The eyeshadow is a lovely green shade which cannot be seen in my pics as i'm wearing shades which also happen to be another great group gift from Le Poppycock.

These amazing boots are also a group gift at Gabriel and come in men and womens sizes. The top is a group gift from Nudolu and comes in 5 colours! not often you get a fatpack as a gift is it?

For the love of wool & leather

I'm in love with new releases at Love especially the cowlneck scarves. I a penchant for scarves it has to be said and I especially appreciate the range of print textures on these scarves, sometimes we need a nice pattern to jazz up a plain outfit not just a choice of colours rather than a plain scarf with colour options. The leather skirt is also a new release which I had fun mixing up with the wool tights & Jumper.

The Classic Ugg boots are also a new release from Skifija. As usual with Skifija footwear they come a colour change hud and so your Ugg boots will colour match any outfit that you wear. Unfortunately Goran (the mastermind behind Skifija) has discovered recently that some of his items have been copybotted and sold on the Marketplace. It's tricky to know whether your items are legitimate when you buy them from the marketplace and so I know in future that I shall go straight to store instead!
