Mix & Match Bikinis

I escaped to Second Life today, taking a short break from my busy real life.  The hot and humid weather at my side of the world just drove me off to a Second Life beach!  I walked barefooted along the sandy beach at the edge of the water, feeling the sand and the water on my feet…. coupled with the sound of the waves and the warm breeze on the body….  it is such a relaxing feeling!!!
As seen in the photos, the bikinis on me are sold separately at Trinite.  So you can buy just the bikini top or the bikini bottom and mix and match them from a choice of 12 different selections of gorgeous bikini tops and bottoms each.  Each top or bottom is only L$75 and every top includes these 3 options – Lolas Tango appliers, sexy nipple shadow and another more modest nipple shading option.  The bikini top which I am wearing is without the appliers and sexy option.  Go visit Trinite to check them out!

Hair:  Magika ~ 01 Please
Bikini Top:  Trinite ~ Indi – Bikini Top Mod (includes 3 options – Lolas Tango appliers & 2 nipple shading options)

Bundled Outfits Make Shopping A Breeze

If you would only know how much time I take to put together a look and blog about it each time, you would probably laugh!  But then, you must know, I have myself a list of criteria to meet before making a purchase.  Too rational?  I know.  
Here is one bundled outfit from To Be Unique that has almost everything one needs to look good.  In its bundle there is a mesh jacket, a mesh dress and a pair of mesh boots, all in 12 colours, changeable using the HUD provided.  On top of that, there is a sculpted necklace and a pair of earrings included.  The bundle is only L$49!!!  I further complemented the outfits with a pair of black tights to create an eye-catching stylish look.  
To Be Unique sells lots of bundled outfits with very reasonable price and quality at L$49.  Free demos are available for its mesh bundled.  You really have nothing to loose, so go check them out at their in-world store!  

I am wearing ….

Skin:  Swan ~ Lucy – Cream 001 (mole not included)
Lipstick:  Blackliquid Makeup ~ Just Gloss
Hair:  Truth ~ Imogen – Caramel
Jacket, dress, boots and jewelries bundled:  To Be Unique ~ April

Shanti

Shanti is a Sanskrit word which I had came across quite a number of Indian women have for their names.  I had not thought of finding out if this word carries a meaning until Legal Insanity released a new mesh dress with this name recently.  Shanti simply means peace, tranquillity.  Such a beautiful name.            
Legal Insanity’s Shanti Dress comes in 8 choices of colours and textures.  This one I am wearing is Jeans Camelia, worn underneath a crochet vest.  I am in the mood to try out boho style today and I wonder if this look is somewhat any where near to it!  I adore boho style and I wish to have more time to ‘comb’ the stores in Second Life and put a perfect boho look together.

I am wearing ….

Skin:  Swan ~ Lucy – Cream 001 (exclude mole)
Hair:  Elikatira ~ Caramel – Red 05
Hair Accessories:  Boho Hobo ~ Feather hair extensions
Dress:  Legal Insanity ~ Shanti Dress – Jeans Camelia
Vest:  Boho Hobo ~ Purple Crochet Vest
Scarf:  Boho Hobo ~ Skinny Scarf  - Pink Paisley
Sunglass:  WG ~ Aviator Mistletoe Kisses
Necklace:  Floor Candy ~ Rusted Necklace
Earrings:  Floor Candy ~ Rusted Earring
Bracelet:  Floor Candy ~ Rusted Bracelet
Shoes:  Severed Garden ~ Dana Boots (with socks)
Bag:  Severed Garden ~ Carefree Bag – Sky

Hope is for all who love life and its endless possibilities, let’s relay for life fashionably at Fashion For Life in Second Life.  Though Second Life is a online 3D virtual world entirely built by its residents/avatars/virtual people/people like you and me, there are people from all over the world coming together virtually for real life charity events and Fashion For Life is only one of them.  Isn’t this wonderful?
I am showcasing three beautiful outfits here by Legal Insanity and 100% of these sales proceeds will go to Relay For Life for raising funds for American Cancer Society.  Please visit Legal Insanity’s store at the event venue here.  
Fashion For Life has a lot to offer at its venue, from apparels to concerts, and not forgetting fashion shows, gachas, raffles, parties etc.  Even if fashion and shopping are not your cup of tea, you could enjoy the beautifully built sims and make some wonderful photos.  There are 7 themed sims and 2 event sims to explore and today is the 4th day of this 9-day event (until 17th March 2013), so hurry over!

A Day In Virtual Asia

I have heard about Virtual Asia sim weeks or months back and finally made my way over to the sim today.  The sim depicts the vibrancy of a metropolitan with dense, high rise buildings and big billboards.  It was built masterfully using lots of photo realistic images of Hong Kong and Tokyo.  I am glad that I took the time to visit the sim and made some nice photo shoots with Nirans Viewer.  The Viewer gives such an amazing graphic experience that is not found in the other Viewers, it makes any ordinary looking build become alive!
As you can see in the photos, I am wearing a pair of skinny jeans released recently by Legal Insanity with a long sleeve white t-shirt.  I love wearing jeans with a white top, but I am very particular with the jeans’ cutting.  I must say this pair is by far my favourite.  And… oh, you should know … the white top on me is not mesh!  It was really hard these days to find non-mesh top and I still adore them.
And finally to spice up these rather basic outfits, I chose to accessorize my skinny jeans and white tee that give a stylish flattering casual look.» View author and full post…

Wandered Out


There is no end to things we can explore in Second Life and this is what makes Second Life so interesting.  Having said that, on the other hand, one may also feels bored especially when one is aimless.

I love it most when I could dress up in my new outfits, step out to explore a new place and snap some nice photos.  And today is just that wonderful day!  No posing in front of a textured board for photo shoots. There is less privacy though.  Sometimes I get people blocking my camera view and sometimes I get people IM me or sending friendship request.  All these could take up a lot of my time, unless I have plenty of time to spare at that moment, I don’t really mind.  It can be quite interesting and amusing to have a few small chats with polite passers-by.    

Today I am all dressed, suitably, for this sim named Dryland.  I am wearing a mix and match, a top from La Estrella and a long pants I bought from Designer Circle recently.  The cropped knit top and shirt is an attached piece with fine quality textures.  This cute top is available in three other knits colour besides this brown-beige one on me.» View author and full post…

Gravity


Seen on the picture above, I am wearing Swan‘s Glamour Skinline – Lucy, in cream tone.  Lucy comes in five skin tones, besides cream the other tones are fair, ivory, noire and tan.  Every tone includes six makeups and two breast styles.  Lucy is one of the two skins in Glamour line by Swan and it is also my second Swan skin.  I love both so much that I was torn choosing one of them to be my regular skin!!  
Citysphere

Issac Newton saw an apple fell from a tree and thought deeply about it.  Why things fall downward and not out to the moon?  His great insight led him to discover the Law of Gravity.

I have just visited Citysphere in Second Life which is a floating sphere city, well of course, that is how the name Citysphere came about.  You may find yourself against gravity if you don’t follow the ‘law’ which is simply click the ground to get a red cube and sit on it, then walk.  Now, can you imagine walking on a sphere?   This very cool city is said to have 132 buildings erected on it and here is the challenge…. attempt to count the numbers of buildings on it if walking around the city has not got you giddy and nausea yet!» View author and full post…

Post Holidays Blues

Seven days into 2013 and I am still having post holidays blues…. or is it the weather that is affecting my mood?  I am dragging my feet and I can’t seem to be working faster than I want to.

So I played with this collection of sculpted nails which I just got from Bamboo Nails.  It has a HUD with three exciting features.   A feature that allows me to paint an individual nail or all nails from the five choices of colour polishes, change the length of the nails and of course the size can be changed too.  Please see pictures below on how the HUD looks.  Bamboo Nails has many other collections with similar features in a HUD worth checking out at their main store. 

If painting nails can change one’s mood, then that did!  I got myself dressed in these giraffe texture outfit and matching brown boots then adorned with a necklace and put on my sunglasses and there I was, off to Amsterdam to continue my exploration.     

The end result was a minimalist chic look ….as quoted by Leonardo Da Vinci “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” …. no?

I am wearing ….

Skin:  Swan ~ Lucy – Ivory 002 Claveage (without mole)
Hair:  Head Mistress ~ Rolling Tides – Brown 3
Dress:  Liv-Glam ~ Winter 2012 – Laurent Wrap Dress
Boots:  J.H.» View author and full post…
