Prelude

There's a storm raging through my little country, strong winds and a nasty drizzle have been pestering us all day. Mostly I like the natural force, but preferably when I'm warm and cozy inside my house. Not when I'm blown off my bike on the way to work... Anyway, I decided to dress warmly in SL as a result... funny how that works.



I'm sure most of you must have heard about the new group What's New SL and the enormous amount of gifts in the notices. One of the gifts was by Prelude, a store I've never been before. I was pleasantly surprised; it's a small store with some really cute items, well crafted. Among some other things I picked up this olive high collard sweater, in the next picture you can see the cute buttons on the collar.

I found this cute jacket at CoL a while ago but never really knew what to wear with it. The collar is really amazing and a true eyecatcher and I'm happy it didn't need much adjusting. To complete the outfit I added Malt Willow pants.



Here's a close up of the skin I'm wearing, its by Beauty Avatar and a free gift in the notices. I really like the course Beauty Avatar is going, I like their skins better and better. Especially the cheekbones and lips I find nice on this face, rather strong yet sensual. I had preferred it if there had been a little more details on the skins, such as a hint of freckles, it's still a bit too flawless for me.



Above I'm wearing the Prelude Autumn shirt in Red. The textures are very nice and I love the little print on the front. This shirt is a freebie in store and a uni black version was the gift in the What's New SL group. You will find very reasonably priced wellcrafted items at Prelude and even a few other gifts too. I'm going to keep an eye on this store, hope you will too...

Glance Skins

I'm a passionate skin lover and whenever I hear there is a free skin of good quality somewhere I run off to grab it. There is a hunt going on at Fashionista Sim called the perfect image hunt. You have to look for little handmirrors and shown above is the prize Glance is offering here. It contains two skins, the left is called Denise and the right Adriana.

Adriana is a little bit more pale then Denise and has a more natural look as well. Both skins are very nicely detailed and have good facial features. The eyebrows look very real which in my opinion is hard to find. A very nice touch is the lighting on the collarbones, I thinks thats very nicely done.

The hair I'm wearing is a groupgift from Beauty Avatar, called Dani in the color chestnut. You can find it in the group notices. Its a sleek style with a long ponytail at the back which you can't tell from this picture. I really like this style, but sadly it can't be modified and is a little too small for my -apparantly- huge head. But try your luck and see if it does fit you.

-Edit-
The hair is mod! You just have to touch it to get a menu... Yay fits me perfectly now. Thanks Karina :)

Beauty Avatar skin gift

Beauty Avatar released their new collection called "Estate" today and with that gave out a group gift. The gift contains two female skins, Delia and Cristine, of which I'm wearing the Delia skin. I really like the lips and the smoothness of the skin. Also the eyebrows are very well done. I'm not liking the eyeshadow much tho... its a bit too much and makes me look a bit mad imho. :)

The hair I'm wearing is one of Truth latest releases. I really love the flowiness of the hair and the way the bangs fall around my face. I think Truth is one of the few hairdesigners that doesnt only deliver a nice structure hair, but also pays a lot of attention to the way the hair should be surrounding your face. I'm really liking this style.

The shrug I'm wearing is by MG Fashion. I always love the way she combines her sculpties with her clothing and the balloned sleeves on this is a little example of that. I paired it with capri pants from the Pippa outfit from MichaMi and the top and belt I'm wearing are also parts from outfits, this time from Armidi. To ad a little bit more pink I stuck my little toes in an old Maitreya group gift, pumps that you get in tons of colors to fit almost every outfit.

Last but not least I'd like to point out the lovely Teardrop earrings and necklace I'm wearing, a gift from Aluinn a while ago and the great prim nails from PM. These have a colormenu so you can get them to match almost every outfit! I cannot imagine my sl without prim nails (or lashes). :)

Thats it for today :)
