Country Lace And A New Little Friend

Sometimes you put on something and immediately feel special. In this case, it was the dress I am wearing from NSP. Knit (which actually resembles velvet) and lace – absolutely perfect for feeling all girly and pretty. The dress is mesh with an optional flexi lace skirt, which swings fetchingly as you move. I won’t say that I miss the old days pre-mesh in Second Life, but I did get hit with a wave of happy nostalgia when I added this skirt to the dress. And with matching boots, the look is fabulous.

To top that off, my hair, also from NSP, is exactly the kind of curls I would love to have. These are some sexy tresses, ladies! The mistletoe wreath gives it a festive look and feel, but it is optional in case you just want to shake out your hair and let it bounce around your shoulders. It does have a rather high ARC, but it is worth the cost as long as you aren’t wearing it in a high-traffic area.

The dress, boots and hair can all be found at Winter Solstice in the Mystic Realms through December 19th.

You may have noticed my little friend in my previous post, and she is back again today. While I was hitting up +Half-Deer+ for last weekend’s FLF, I noticed the poses and props, which are a collaboration with Le Poppycock. There are three sets, complete with props and poses for ridiculously low prices and incredibly high quality. I don’t have another photo in the queue using this little lady, but I can pretty much guarantee she will show up again on this blog sometime soon.

Cold Chills

In my last post, I showed you some unexpected items from Salt & Pepper; the lovely ornaments available at Tannenbaum. Today I’m back to showing the more expected offerings from Salt: this gorgeous, cuddly coat, also available at Tannenbaum. Not only does it keep away the cold chills, it attracts attention. While I was shooting this photograph I was asked by two different people where I got it. I could sense as soon as I slipped it on that it was a winner, and my experience bears that out.

Something that is a bit more unusual for Annie Melson is this pair of snug boots from *Just BECAUSE* at Uber. While Annie isn’t known for her shoe-making, these certainly are testament to her talent. They fit perfectly and with the flat heels are just what is needed to venture out on an icy, slick path.

These are both just what you need to keep the cold chills at bay.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

Enya

I would probably feel a bit uneasy walking across this wooden bridge through the fog, but not Enya. She has not only the courage to forge her way into the swirling mist but to do it wearing this daring outfit. Enya is the latest release from Salt & Pepper for We < 3 Roleplay, which runs through November 30th. Its soft fabric and belted straps give her the confidence to move confidently forward. I paired it with these kick ass Arwen boots, a previous release from Salt & Pepper (available at the main store).

I’m sure you’re going to be seeing a lot of this hair by *ARGRACE* (if you haven’t already). Rika Oyen makes, in my opinion, the best editorial hair in Second Life. While KOHAKU has a relatively high ARC (31,308), it still isn’t unmanageable for most viewer settings to handle. And oh, so worth it for the result!

Be bold. Be brave. Be like Enya.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:
