misty autumn



Here the new groupgift from Foppish. The riders cardigan. I love the combination of the leather  and the woven or knitted textures. I combined it with the riding boots from Coco. New is the studded bag. I bought it at L'accesssoires. Founders of L'accessoires are MeiMei Shiu, Cieleste Magic and Zachary Zufreur. It is a shopping experience centered on accessories. There is every month a fine selection of accessories by good designers in Second Life. It is a pity that the products are so expensive. I think that is the reason that it is not so well visited as the dressing rooms or the collabor88 events. But i could not resist buying this bag , because it fits so well to this look.
The misty autumn sphere is like in rl at the moment.

zebra combi's







Made this post about the zebra cardigan. Then i went back to the shop from the nails to see if that nail gift was still there but then discovered this super cute gift at splash. The jackets. In the package 4 colors (white, black green and red) Isn't this realy a good gift? I want that jacket in rl because the weather is now cold here. Mmm so cozy, such a warm jacket.

Although you can see such a cardigan with one loose shoulder everywhere in sl, this one i wanted immediately when i saw someone wearing it. She told me she bought it at the cinema event. This event is held through Oct. 31. Cinema brings you into a massive, beautiful, custom-designed multiplex cinema featuring eight individually-themed theaters. You’ll be immersed in the movie-going experience with fun interactive features and over 80 of your favorite stores with exclusive new items inspired by film.
But she also gave me the lm to the main store from the cardigan. Here is the lm to the shop at the cinema event. Many cute shops there so have a look shopaholics.

I made a picture of the back of the cardigan and used it to give a bag a new texture and to create my leggings. And so i created this combination from the cardigan with the bag. The pumps i showed before on the blog ( from Baby monkey lucky board) and the earrings also (Mandala at marketplace).The simple tops from Jane always are a good basic.

charming man in charcoal




Nic was lucky to meet a man ( Ati Paule) in charcoal colors ( for the 52 weeks of ColorChallenge this weeks color). And although the female post was already made, it was nice to make photos of this man for another ColorChallenge post. And for me easy. I didn't need to buy all and get dressed up ;) Charcoal reminds me of coalmines, something typical for men may be...

He has a cute animation overrider, a mixed ao from Akeyo and Abraham he said. ( i think may be this last one is Abranimations , the animation shop).
His jeans is  from NotsoBad. The skin from Body co. The sweater i already knew. Already wanted  such a sweater for Nic for this blog. It is from Sey. The Ensemble&Cut-off version in Mesh. It has color change possibility with hud…inner, main body and suspender…more styles in store. His hair is from Burley. It reminds me of the hair of samurai warriors. I think the designer was inspired by that.
The shoes are from the Urban Bomb Unit.

Shoes:  UBU- Pornstar slip-ons unisex

And what about this?
Here i show you some pictures made by Richard Avedon, a famous photographer, that he made from coalminers. By the way Avedon was also famous because of his mode photography. Avedon began his professional career in fashion photography working for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Life and others. An important contribution was his idea to move the fashion model out of the studio and onto the street.
I admire him and i like that idea..  May be that is why i mostly make pictures of Nic as a model somewhere in sl. Google Avedon and enjoy his work.


Thanks Ati for the photoshoot, Nic



lots of orange with charcoal





Yes lots of orange in a 52 ColorChallenge post about charcoal ( a dark grey). But i like to brighten up such a dark color a bit. I found this cute hair from (red)Mint in the sale. Sale is till end october. Most hairs are 50% off and some 30%.

I was glad with this charcoal color, because now i had an excuse to buy the postmans jacket at Pumpkin. Attached to the jacket is the bag. In a menu you can choose the texture of the bag.

Mostly i wear brown eyes from Sakurako or the black eyes from Ikon. But this is also a favorite. The naive eyes in steel from Rotten Toe at marketplace. They are beautiful hand painted. And give the face a special a little bit sad sphere.

And i need not tell that i am always totally in love with my Chronokit clothings. So here again pants from kit Pizzicato.

the soft halloween look






Hehe i didn't want to make a halloween post. But then Dancer told me about the halloween skin from Poised. I took it from marketplace sl and tried it. Meanwhile talking with Dancer.
And she said this:

[15:06] Dancer Nitely: it seems to be a little softer than most goth skins
[15:06] Dancer Nitely: often they seem so hard in appearance
[15:07] Dancer Nitely: so that's good i think
[15:07] Nicandra Laval: yes i saw it on the picture already
[15:08] Dancer Nitely: i compared it to another goth skin, big difference
[15:09] Dancer Nitely: i think it could work with the platinum dura hair, for a softer halloween look


[15:12] Nicandra Laval: I try it now  with the platinium hair
[15:12] Dancer Nitely: halloween goth is often black, black, black
[15:12] Nicandra Laval: must also use grey  eyes then
[15:12] Dancer Nitely: so it could be interesting to go the other way
[15:13] Nicandra Laval: yes the ghost way
[15:13] Dancer Nitely: yes, exactly :)
[15:13] Dancer Nitely: ghost instead of vampire
[15:14] Nicandra Laval: yes ))

So here is Nic as the cute ghost halloween casual girl. May be she was murdered not so long time ago, when she weared her long t shirt and pants from Chronokit. Now she returns every time there at the place of the murder. She walks through doors and walls and is guarded by her old ghost friend. No he isn't dangerous for her as you might have thought at your first glance seeing the pictures. No he is protecting her. He dwells around with her. Playing with her. When will she get her rest? Who will ever know?
