Teagan on a Rug

Sometimes the outfit makes you take a picture.  This was the case tonight.  When the model hair from ::69:: literally posed me in the middle of our rich, garnet carpet, I had to take a picture.  I was fortunate that I had the perfect clothes to go with it as well.  The classic look of Ingenue’s Pin Up Girl goes really well with the slinky black stilettos from Maitreya.  The skin and eyes are another sneak peek at Tea Lane.

Looking Good for Low Render

A few weeks back Laynie and I were attending an art showing and we decided to try and find the best outfit we could with a green rendering cost.  I remembered that I had this hot, slinky dress from Adam n Eve that I have not had the chance to wear out yet and felt its low prim would be perfect for our quest.  The hair I found to go with it was one of Exile’s releases from the Hair Fair called Wild Orchid.  I used the blackcherry hair texture to compliment the ruby red tones of the snakeskin dress.  The Shiny Things‘ T-Straps and Cake’s Bedroom Lashes finished off the look.

The skin and eyes I am wearing are sneak peeks at some of the new items from Tea Lane which opens mid-October.

Therapeutic Fairy Shopping

Sometimes going on wild shopping sprees can be really uplifting.  I was lucky(or unlucky) to go to Silent Sparrow and have all the accessories to go with the outfit right there next to the display.  I did not have to stop anywhere else to complete the outfit.  Then I headed over to Studio Sidhe and found another great outfit that is a collaboration with Moonshine.

Not So Tradtional Pirates

I covered traditional pirate costumes the other day but for the non-traditional there are many choices as well. The very first pirate outfit I bought on SL was the Kitty Pirate Set from Boneflower Designs.  Not long after that I begged Laynie to make me an orange pirate outfit.  She ended up releasing sets of several pirate themed items at LaynieWear.  The color shown is custom but it does come in a variety of other colors. The Jennifer style from Calico Creations has always been my favorite pirate hair to wear.

In a Princess State of Mind

It all started when I saw this dress at Liquid Velvet Studios that was an exact replica of Giselle’s dress in the movie Enchanted. I have owned this item for some time now because I was waiting for the perfect hair to go with it. House of Heart just released Fairytale which is the perfect hair for this outfit. Finding the perfect pose to get the right Giselle feel I ran to Striking Pose and found what I was looking for in the Debra Paget pose collection. (Birds not included.)

The gown used to achieve Cinderella’s look in Cinderella is no longer available in SL unless you come upon a yard sale. The gown called Josephine was one of the Ginny Talamasca’s gowns at Last Call. I went through every blonde style I owned looking for that right Cinderella look for the hair and came across Gracefull II from Spirit which worked in both shade and style. Again I used one of the Debra Paget poses from Striking Pose.

Arrrr, Pirate Day is September 19th

Cleaning and sorting your inventory after a large event like the Hair Fair can lead to amazing discoveries. I found these 2 pirate outfits that I picked up a few months back and had every intention of blogging but they got lost in the empty space that is my inventory. They come from a store called Arundel Designs which specializes in period costumes right out of bodice ripping romance novels. Do not let the name of the costume fool you. It is simply called Pirate Jacket but comes with jacket, boots, pants, shirts, hat, and hair. I chose to select hair from my own collection to match the outfit going with styles from House of Heart and Bewitched.

Laynie has better lighting on her pose stands so I played around with her pose collection. I came across as stand called (N) which was filled with poses from Neural Blankes. I loved the pose that I used for the left picture but it was perfect for showing off the details of the costume. The pose on the right came from LAP by Dove Swanson from her Barbie collection.

Don’t forget that Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19th so now is a great time to buy pirate costumes.
