Camouflaged Canimal

The "Going Commando" Event is one of those events were everyone does the army green Camo, and it's fun... but there is not much in the way of fashionable camo to be had. That was up until last week, when I saw the DoC Eldritch of DE Designs had released some great new Camo Cargo Pants for Men & Women under his Red Label line. I had to have this awesome Desert Pair, love the yellow Camo. The come in multiple layer and style options, including a shorts option.

I decided to really go for broke with this look, doing a whole Mash-up of my favorite things, old & new. I immediately went for these great (Shiny Things) Chunky Ribbon Boots, with it's HUD you can select just the right color for the Ribbons. I also finally got to wear my Canimal Corset, with it's Carnival like print, there are so many colours to work with in this one garment, but Canimal Zephyr offers it in about 6 different colours, all wonderful. I pulled in a great belt by Mouse Mimstrobel of Dark Mouse.This Kahlua & Creme Belt came in a pack with two versions, I grabbed it off of OnRez. I pulled in some Jewelry that I didn't think would work as well as it did, but this -EARTHTONES- The Awakening Necklace & Earring Set in Gold have just that wonderful thing that I find in most of Lucas Lemeth's work does, it can be dressed up or down. I also felt like my bare arms needed a little something, and Bonita Popinjay never lets me down with her great Jumbled Bracelet Sets from Bonita's Jewelry.



I am so thrilled with these Canimal Essence Skins whenever I want a more edgy look, and I wish I would remember to save my LaLas to get all the other make-ups that I want. I love the way they make my cheekbones look. This hair was a great find on my last trip to -=H2L=-, they only have a few women's styles, but this one was a must have for me, I love the way it lets my ears poke through, what is cuter then ears? Lashes are by Celestial Studios and Eyes are [Detour]'s fabulous Delta Eyes.

It's All In The DEtails

I remember the first time I wandered up the curved path toward the enormous DE Designs store, I had never seen a building that big before, and when I finally made it inside (I rarely fly, cause I am a klutz and don't like watching my avatar bash into walls) I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume and range of DoC Eldritch's work. It was the first real looking clothing I saw, and the details were so impressive. Over a year and a half ago now, but DE has been around since 2005 and still is some of the best. I have had this outfit, Carine, for several months. I just think it is elegant, a little bit Nashville Chic (if that is even a term) and really wearable. It comes with both this long skirt as well as a pair of slacks. I love the corset like waist, very pretty.

The details of the outfit really called for some casual simple accessories, like this Black Pearl Set from Paper Couture, which look great with the open v-neck of the top. I also pulled in a basic black bag from Paper Couture, so happy to have this Boulevard Bag in my inventory, and the mini-duffel look is really a hit this season. The shoes are the brilliant Black Diva Heels from Tesla, a cross between vintage and couture, and really great in a whole rainbow of colours. Also wearing Gimcrack Diamond Solitaire from Caroline's Jewelry and a favorite cuff from Frangipani Designs, the Black Pearl & Silver Cuff makes my pearl loving hear soar.



This hair was something I had to grab the minute I heard Elika had a new release after about a month's absence in-world. It was worth the wait though, this Celia style is another lovely example of ETD's fabulous casual up-dos. When I say it was worth the wait, I am particularly referring to the new shoes and boots Elika released, I think I bought 6 pair on that trip, and would have kept going had I had the cash to spare. I will be showing some off soon.

This skin was a must have for me, and I had been meaning to get over to *QS* Skins to check them out ever since I received a few freebie gift *QS* Skins from the bianca F. group subscribe-o-matic. I swear getting the lovely free skins was the surest way to get my LaLas spent, the freebies were flawless, and I fell in love with the smoky eye and wanted a red lip version. Would love to see more releases in the *QS* line, and with the opening of the new Velvet SIM this week, I have high hopes!

Tomb Raider

The Science Fiction Event at PIN UPS finally gave me a change to wear this fabulous 'DE Raider' Costume from "DE Designs". I have had it for months, and waited till I found just the right hair for the real 'Lara Croft' look, this style from "Curl Up And Dye Salon" is perfection. I hate guns, but well, Lara would never be without them, these were freebies from a friend and are actually 'Han Solo' Guns so lasers, not bullets! I love the opportunity to piece to together the perfect look for the Daily contest events at the club.
