The Sun Has Got His Hat On

Posted on April 12, 2013 by
The sun finally arrived here in the UK and on my week of so it was double yay! The sun certainly inspired my outfit today and so I decidd to go blonde and to find my shades for that touch of summer. I wanted to wear a hat that I was sure I owned but I can’t find it in the disaster that is my inventory!

My top is by the Secret Store at the current round of FaMESHed. It comes in lots of patterns and I also bought a pack of three in pastel shades and of course went lilac! The shoes are also available at FaMESHed and are by [GOS] Boutique I love this style of shoe in SL and Rl and so couldn’t resist when I saw them. These are going to be part of many summer outfits.
My jeans are by Reckless Ambitions at The Box event. They come in cropped (which I am wearing) and full length and are really nicely made I think.
I am very excited by the sunshine and long summer evenings that are to come, it’s a shame I have to go back to work next week!

Back to Black

Back to Black by Lexia Barzane (www.lexiabarzane.com)

I finally visited the Pose Fair \o/ (I can’t find the landmark sorry) and picked up this free pose from Ploom which came complete with handcuffs ;-) . Trying the pose and handcuffs on inspired me to do a bit of a Chicago themed shoot in a prison. I remembered that I have the Lockdown pose prop from Glitterati and after copying the prison cell a few times and with a bit of editing I started looking for my outfit.

I really really love this Hope skin from the Skinnery that I bought at the recent skin fair. Initially I thought maybe the lips were a bit big for my face but I now totally love how pouty they are. As I love it so much I decided to wear it again today and slicked on my bright red lipstick also from the Skinnery because it’s really glamorous I think. I decided that I needed a glam up do and picked out this old hair from Truth.

My dress is by ISON from the current round of Collabor88. It’s been blogged a few times now in black but that suited my photo theme so I decided i’d blog it again! The dress is cute because it comes with a vest/shirt/jacket layer with the bird effect and then the body of the dress is mesh and comes with great curves.

The look was topped off with my gorgeous Sophia peeptoe shoes from GOS Boutique. I love these shoes anyway but I think they fit better than some of the other brands which use the skin matching hud and also have the Skinnery skin tones in the hud which means I can wear them with my favourite new skin!

  1. First SL Friend: Madisyn and Curry in May 2007. I met them through a guy I was seeing at the time, we broke up but I remained friends with them. I am still friends with Curry but unfortunately Madisyn doesn’t come in to SL anymore but she’s still on my list.
  2. First SL Kiss: Probably the same guy!
  3. First SLex time/place/partner: I dated a bit before meeting my boyfriend Caelum who I have met in RL and will be moving to live with in August so he’s the one that means the most to me :-)
  4. First SL Partner/Girlfriend/Boyfriend/Wife/Husband: Caelum <3

  6. First SL Creation: I think I made something stupid like a one prim sofa or table after taking lessons on building. I now mainly make a mess or blog posts!
  7. First Encounter with a Linden: Mmmm not sure I have met one yet (and my AV is 6 years old!)
  8. First Encounter with a SLebrity: This would probably be when I was at SOL working and Irie Campese of So Many Styles IM’d me to thank me for wearing a dress she had created! That was kind of cool.
  9. First SL Sim you fell in love with: I LOVE the Botanical Gardens. I don’t visit so often these days but if I want to just get away there is a lovely spot there where I can sit down and watch the waves role in which is very peaceful.
  10. First SL Blog Post: When I first started blogging I was trying to complete a year of blogging for Project 365, I didn’t finish that project (or several others) but am still quite fond of the blog post  :-)

My Pet Peves Meme

Posted on April 10, 2013 by

This time round the meme instructions are to share your top five SL pet peeves.Then link your post in the comments on Strawberry Singh’s blog so she can read what we have to say!

It took a while but I managed to come up with five pet peeves that I have with second life, hopefully they won’t be too controversial :-)

1. People who stand on landing posts at stores and events – there is nothing more annoying than landing at a store and getting bounced around in the air until the AV your stood on top of realises and move! Even worse when they do that and then go AFK! I try to land and walk away from the landing spot without barging other people doing the same now.

2. People who send IM’s requesting money – I have noticed that this does not happen so much now as designers are good at stopping people doing this (thank you!) but it is always so annoying to land in a store and get a random IM from a stranger asking for some lindens to buy the item that you are there to buy or pay the rent etc etc. I would always help out a friend but not a stranger in that situation.

3.  Talking Pregnancy bellies – I think that the ability to go through the pregnancy experience in SL is very cool and I get the talking belly idea but I really don’t need to know if you need to pee or have just eaten a cracker etc because your pregnant. That can be kept for private please :-)

4. Going to an event all blinged up! - I love going to all of the fashion events but will remove my prims, mesh, scripts so that I can try and avoid lag as much as possible because you know it will be terrible. Then when you land and can’t walk a metre because SL’s turned in to treacle land you turn around and see someone else dressed up to the nines in mesh, prims and scripts and it makes me want to shout!

5. Rude People – SL is a lag fest at the best of times but add in a hunt and a full to bursting shop with items for sale and you end up lag walking over and over. On the weekend I was out at a hunt venue with my friend and she was called a moron because someone walked in to her due to the lag!! Sometimes the attitude people give in SL is very unnecessary and I have to bite my tongue not to say something!

Been Shopping

Posted on April 10, 2013 by
Been Shopping by Lexia Barzane (www.lexiabarzane.com)
I’ve been lazy today and am wearing the same skin and hair as yesterday (it is lovely though) to go shopping in SL.

I am wearing a new outfit that I picked up at the Big Boobies Show (I know I know my boobs aren’t that big and I don’t wear Lola’s etc but they still look great :-) ).

My jumper is by *VinCue who is a designer I have never heard about before but I was impressed by the items that were for sale there. I chose the jumper which is mesh, because it looked cute but also comfy for running around the grid.

My lovely skinny jeans are by DeeTaleZ at the BBS. They come in four colours and after checking my inventory I found that I didn’t own black skinny jeans so they were a perfect addition to the wardrobe.

The necklace i’m wearing isn’t new but was created by my lovely friend Atiya Masala. I love all of her jewelery and this necklace is an old Lazy Sunday item but I am sure it’s still for sale in store. If not there will be lots of other gorgeous items you’ll want to snap up :-)

I think a perfect look for a shopping trip around London (which is a fairly realistic looking sim on the whole) and the pose fair which I finally visited and hopefully will blog some poses from the fair soon.

It’s a Perfect Spring Wardrobe

Posted on April 9, 2013 by
It's a Perfect Spring Wardrobe by Lexia Barzane (www.lexiabarzane.com)

This fortnights round of Perfect Wardrobe is nearly over and I’m late of course, but there is still time to head down and buy this cute dress by *Epic*.

The theme for Perfect Wardrobe is currently Spring and I know that my looks a bit more ummm autumunal but that’s inspired by the stupid weather we are having here in the UK at the moment. I am hoping the spring comes soon!

I’m wearing the dress from *Epic* as a top with a cute skirt that I totally forgot I owned from Happy Undead.

There are as always lots of gorgeous things to buy at Perfect Wardrobe so you should get in there quick before the collection changes at the weekend.

I am also wearing a new skin that I have discovered from a store called The Skinnery with some super hot red lipstick also from the same store whilst trying out red hair again. I keep reading that all the female celebs are trying it out and I quite fancy going red for a little while.
