And Now For Something Completely Different . . .


Here's another of my new poses from Long Awkward Pose and a dress I picked up at Triangle for $1L. This is called Lag Shadow. It's not my usual style, but for some reason I could just see it with the go-go boots and all. So I'm stepping out of character for a cool, retro look.


This skin is another $25L deal from Plastic Flowers. This one is Shattered in pale. I love good cheap skin! If you haven't been over to check these out, get going!


I'm also wearing the Dalmation boots from EvA Footwear, Kathy hair from Aoharu in Cherry Brown, and my favorite diamond hoops from Jador.

Poses!

This week I'm finally spending more time in-world since my RL houseguest has gone home. I did something that has been long overdue. I have a massive inventory folder full of dozens (hundreds?) of freebie poses. Well this week I deleted them all. Total wipe out. Then I went out to do something I've never done before in SL: buy poses.

Today I picked up a few at Long Awkward Pose and decided to show a couple off with some new acquisitions.

I found a gift card in my inventory for Sweeter Than Candy and I ran right over to pick up this pretty pea coat. It includes a hat and scarf, but I like it all alone. I live in a warm climate, so I really cling to my SL winters. I'm usually wearing coats and boots long after most residents are trading it all in for bikinis.

Pants are something I am always on the lookout for. I think very few designers are doing good cuffs. So when I saw these from Armidi Gisaci on another blog (I can't remember which or I'd attribute!) I literally ran right over to check them out. These are the Journey Tweed Slacks in golden bronze and I just can't get over the beautiful cuff. The texturing is nice too - you can see that in the close-up below.



The pose is called CC-Seduction and I especially like how it positions the head. My skin is from Plastic Flowers - the Luffly skin in pale that is currently out for $25L. There are a few discount skins there that are really nice. My hair is Luna from Calico Ingmann. I almost never take it off these days.


Shoes are Insolence's Natasha boots in camel. If you look closely, you can actually see the difference between the suede texture of the boots and the wool of the pants.

I've been shopping my butt off lately so more newness to come!
