Gorgeous Mesh Hair from Elikatira

I’m really excited about mesh and this hair is one of the many reasons why I wish more people would update their viewers and embrace mesh.  For a long time I’ve always really been irritated about how our side braids or even longer hairstyles were forever going through our shoulders.  NO MORE!

Here’s just a quick rundown of the styling credits:

New skin for me and my new daily is from Filthy.
The eyes are my normal from Poetic Colors and the lashes are really the best I’ve found and can be found at FTL.
The gorgeous jewelry is from Amorous, if you haven’t been to this store you will not be disappointed.
This sweater dress can be found at Addict and really is a must have for the coming spring.

52 Weeks of Color – Coral

Shangri La Style 1-15-2012

When Luna announced the color of coral I didn’t find anything coral in my inventory so I was left browsing the tons and tons of items on market.   I pleasantly came across this skirt which I purchased.  I hadn’t realized how long it was and when I put it on I knew the Coral pumps from Hucci that I had weren’t going to work so I went to find a shirt instead.  I ended up coming across this cute top from The Sea Hole but with the shape of the neckline and style of shirt with the skirt it wasn’t working… paired with this white crop jacket though, it’s perfect.  Then was the dilemma of shoes… at this point I’d already purchased the skirt and top so I was hoping to find boots in my inventory and I tried on a few pairs before it clicked. “I KNOW WHAT BOOTS!” I blurted out to my mom and co-blogger.

Details after the cut.

Happy Labor Day, America!

For Americans, Labor Day is a day to celebrate the economic and social contributions of workers.  I don’t know much more about it except that when I was a kid it always meant a day off school which was awesome!
Shangri La Style 9-5-2011

This blog post really came out of nowhere when I was texture shopping at Distressed, located on the Eternidad sim, and saw the adorable landscaping.  As I looked out across the field I spotted this swingset and hopped on in exactly what I was wearing for a photo.  Then I thought I may as well blog it since I had the photo and pretty cute look already done.

Coming Up Cherries – LOTD 7/19/2011

I love dressing casually.  I have the tendency to overdress for everything, but when I keep it simple the thrown on outfit becomes one of my favorites.  The best thing about dressing casually?  Not having to worry about support and smoothing garments.

Impromptu – LOTD 6/1/2011

Shangri La Style 6-1-2011

It all started with the gorgeous maxi skirts from G Field.  Mariah showed up with the purple version, which prompted Vernice to get yellow version. Our new team member Katelynn (you will be seeing more of her soon) then proceeded to pull out the yellow version.  We all styled out skirts different ways according to our own personal styles and had an impromptu photoshoot in Vernice’s backyard. Impromptu photos sometimes make for the best pictures.

Something Cute 3/23/11

Shangri La Stylle 3-23-11

When my good friend Kianna plurked a preview of her Project Themory items for this past weekend I HAD TO HAVE THEM and I meant to post this sooner but it’s been a hectic weekend of RL traveling so I’m just now getting to it.  This shirt really is one of the cutest I’ve seen in SL in a long time.  It’s been some time since I’ve seen something released that I had to have no matter what the cost.  I put this on as soon as I got my grabby hands on it and haven’t taken it off yet (ewww).  Mind you it’s only been a day and a half but anyway.  I paired it with some of my favorite high wasted jeans and my all time favorite pair of shoes which makes this outfit my new default Quickchange outfit.  You know, for those times when SL just will not rez your avatar and you have to run the character test just to uncloud yourself. You can’t see it very well in this post but the skin I’m in is just GORGEOUS, it’s made by Ryker Beck of Exodi and it’s her newest release called Sylvan.  It is so unique compared to her other releases.  This one has a very soft and face and delicate lip structure; I’d say it’s the little sister to Isolde.  I will be doing a more in depth post of the skin in the coming days so I’ll leave you with the credits for this post for now.  Hope you enjoyed my cute look for today!

American Girl 7/4/10

LOTD July 4 2010

I’m so in love with the new Aoharu release and I chose to blog this look because of a few reason.  If you don’t know, I live in America so today is a special day for our country.  I chose the country theme and look because I grew up in a rural area.. just outside the town I grew up in were miles of corn fields and although I didn’t particularly love where I grew up I was so eager to do this style photo and show off this new release.
