Cargo Cult

Sometimes, I just have to get out of the fancy dresses and go with a little bit of funky grunge. It's hard to believe that these amazing Bare@Rose Black Lowrise Heavy Cargos, which come in a pack with at least four colour versions, are only possible since the introduction of sculpted prims in-world. I could not have imagined it two and a half years ago when I first rezzed into my Second Life, but sculpted prims are now the norm, and content creators are using them in some of the most ingenious ways. These pants have seven, yes seven, sculpted prim attachments to make them look so incredibly real, flexi ties,pockets, and a belt with a pouch on it are all part of the wow factor. With such a great lowrise pant, I opted for a simple tummy baring Camo Crop T-Shirt from Little Rebel, which is unfortunately now no longer available since it's recent closing. A huge loss in my mind, it was one of the first stores I discovered, with the help of a list of favorites from Antie (Antonia Marat).



I dug into my large folder of review copies, and re-discovered this great Chicago Bag from House of Heart. I love this bag for a few reasons, one, because it sits to the left side, which is for some reason less common, and also because it fit so well even with my large, well, boobs. It is a great looking bag, and I didn't even realize that House of Heart did more then hair, shows you how out of the loop I am. I wore a great Natural Gold Bead Ring from Caroline's, and one of the fabulous wrist bands from Emery. The shoes are the a brilliant pair of AKEYO LowTop Chucks, the scripting and colour options are amazing, the texturing is perfection, and they are great for guys and gals alike.



Today I made my last trip, I am afraid, to the amazing Miriel. As I mentioned in my last post, Miriel Enfield is planning on closing up shop soon, and taking her amazing jewelry, eyes, and other creations off the market. It is incredibly sad for me to see such an icon among SL content creators choose to close her doors, depriving us all of her amazing work. I stopped in today to buy a few more of Miriel's brilliant eyes, and her lovely Gibson Girl wig. Please don't miss out on visiting her shop and island, even if it is just to look around. I am wearing a pair of her Hazel Eyes here, and she has dozens of lovely eyes, which can be purchased individually for only $50LaLas, or available in great 4-packs for just $125LaLas.

The Hat and Hair combo is a favorite from Mirai, the .+*Lack*+. style comes with this great texture and colour changing hat, and I love the long wavy dark locks. Skin is an -AnaLu- mod, this is the *inRainbows* Natural tone skin with the .brownish. make-up. I love the way the MMS (now LeLutka) Thora Lashes look with the -AnaLu- skins.

Flower Power Baby Doll

At a recent "Psychedelic 60s" event at PIN UPS Night Club, I decided to abstain from Tie-Dye and Bell Bottom Pants, and opted instead for a little Flower Power. I picked up these adorable tights at Twosome when they first set up shop in Cherry Buttons, and they may have even been freebies, but they are super adorable, and were a welcome punch of colour. I decided to pair them with this sweet Babydoll Dress from Tres Blah, called the Wanna Flow, and the fabulous new Periquita Mary Square Mary Janes in Black. Erpla's shoes are getting more and more adorable, and I just love the cute heel on these and the button details on the buckle.

I got this great Hair in a review pack from House of Heart, and though I tried on all the styles they sent over, this one, the Haley in Bitter Chocolate, is my absolute favorite. You have to try it to believe it, the flex on it is very natural, it moves like real hair, the wave is really sweet, and it is really a cute cut. I am wearing one of my old favorite skins from Celestial Studios Charmed Line, the Purple-Orchid Make-Up has always been a favorite. Eyes and Lashes are from the brilliant [Detour], and I am really excited to see what they will release next.



I am wearing a watch by Fetch, the Vega Watch in Pink, which I love because it looks so much like a fashion bangle. The necklace is the adorable Pastel Candy Necklace from +*aya V.*+, and earring are from {JUNK}, tinted a brighter yellow gold colour to match the necklace better. Yep, there it is again, my Caroline's Gimcrack Diamond Ring, my most sentimental piece of Jewelry. So this may not be a classic 60s look, but it is definitely in the spirit of the Summer of Love.

A Teased Up Brat!

I have had this amazing wig from [Aden] for over a month, but every time I put it on, it didn't look quite right to me, My forhead seemed too high, it wanted something more. It is undeniably awesome, as most hair from [Aden] is, and this big chunky Colleen style is no exception, but I wanted to go out with a bang, so I added some! I irge you all to head over to ETD and pick up every single style of bangs Elika offers, they are endlessly useful, and the textures work so well with so many other designers' wigs. This ETD Long Bangs with a Left Sweep was the perfect addition and made this look for me.

I recieved a gift from MiaSnow around the First Anniversary of Vain Inc. Magazine, and hadn't really had time to take a look in the folder till recently. I was wowed, the skins are brilliantly artistic, lending themselves to art photography with gritty ease. But I also found this fabulous *mia* Ripped Rocker Tee, and fell in love. It has some neat cut out pieces, and I tucked on of the /artilleri/ Zee Tank Tops under it to pick up on the tomato reds in the top. I am so sad to see them gone, but I will always treasure these fabulous Black Stripe*d Jeans from D!FF=>. I threw on a great low prim belt from Fashionably Dead, the Shiny Thread Belt is an easy addition over any pair of jeans.



I was dying to wear this amazing Viniani Heels from Armidi Gisaci, the Grey with the Stacked Wood Heel was my first pick, and I really had so few good grey shoes to work with. I was given this amazing necklace, a review copy, from the new House of Heart, and I think it is a brilliant use of Sculpties, I love the organic form of the beeds, and it has some great colours in it to work with. So much great stuff from House of Heart on the feeds, I urge you to go take a closer look! I pulled some great Stacked Wood Bangles on from +*aya V.*+, to finish up my accessorizing frenzy.

Eyes are the luminous Watery Eyes (Mud) Splatter from BBBM, and Lashes are the brilliant Bedroom Lashes from Cake. Again, when going for a bold red lip, there is none better then the Canimal, Essence of PinUp Make-up, here in the Grace tone. So I am feeling really Bratty with this rockin' Teased Up Look!
