Urban Statement

Sometimes you just need an urban setting to make a fashion statement.

I shot the photo at CUIDAD “MALALIFE”. I don’t speak Spanish, so I can’t tell you much about the sim except it is a fabulous place for urban shots. And I liked the music.

Pure Poison is having a half off sale through today – I recommend heading over there and grabbing some awesome deals on clothing, shoes and accessories. I sure did!

Did I mention before that I love this hair? 😀

1 Argrace Haruka

If you read the credits of my posts or have visited my SLurls To Favourite Places page, you have seen me mention *ARGRACE*. While I may have been aware of this store before, it really hit my radar at Hair Fair last year. This has become my very favourite hair store in Second Life and rika Oyen, the designer, has pretty much guaranteed that anything she releases becomes an insta-buy for me. Haruka was no different.

When I took a look at the photo in the note card from the *ARGRACE* group when I logged on today, I zoomed straight to the store. I didn’t even bother trying on a demo – I just paid my $L250 and dashed home (I also bought the other new release, but I’ll save that for another day).

Now, I know there have been other windblown styles before – I even have a couple – but either the colour wasn’t quite right for me or I got a severe halo effect around the edges of the hair. True Red by *ARGRACE* is my current favourite red and there was virtually no halo effect with this hair. And I would wear this hair out – not just for a photo shoot. She has caught the movement perfectly – I only wish my real hair blew around this beautifully in the wind!

When I got home and put Haruka on, the next question was, “What do I wear???” Fortunately, The Dressing Room Fusion has a new round and I thought this dress from Kunglers would be perfect. I slipped on my 21 Shoe Hucci slingbacks, and I was set. I ran to the dock, struck a pose and off I went.

For this photo shoot, I used Torley’s sunsets. I won’t bore you with how many shots I took (it was over 40 lol) but this one just grabbed me when I looked at my raw shots. The lighting is so dramatic and it set off the fiery red of my hair well.

I am including a cropped version of this photo so you can see the hair close up. I did play with the hair a bit in processing, but mainly to enhance the highlights from the Windlight setting. I probably didn’t need to do it, but hey…I did anyway 😀

1 Somnia ieQED_013

Today I’ve got more spring goodies from The Theme Park! This top from .: Somnia :. comes in about a gazillion different colours (ok, so maybe I exaggerated just a wee bit…but there are a LOT!) It is one of my favourite items from this round. I love the muted colours and it is just so feminine. Just right for a day at the park and goes great with either a skirt, shorts or jeans.

The nail appliers from {Wicked} Peach are just too cute and the only way I like bees…I’m allergic to the real ones 😦 But these are just buzzing away happily on my fingers and toes.

The shoes from ieQED are the perfect accompaniment to the outfit – especially if you want to go incognito in a flower garden. They are so delicate that I have to be careful where I step – I surely don’t want to plant these babies in the grass! They slip over my Slink high feet so I can make sure my toenails match my fingernails, too.

The Theme Park runs for another couple of weeks, so you have time to get there to pick up these gorgeous springtime items. But don’t wait too long – the next round will be here before the petals fall off of the rose.
