Lexia’s Mutterings

Gold!

This fortnights theme for Perfect Wardrobe is Gold! So its a perfect excuse to go all out for the glitz and glam. I am wearing a necklace by ~Pepper~ which is in an Egyptian style and the detailing is really very nicely done.

I’ve also visited FaMESHed for a shopping raid and love love love this jacket from the Secret Store, so much so I’ve been wearing it since Sunday and was glad that the ~Pepper~ necklace went with it so I could blog it and not take it off for another day! I want one in RL well like one in every colour in RL.

My jeans are by [monso] for FaMESHed and I think their definitely up there with my fave SL jeans. They fit perfectly, have awesome detailing and they don’t look like I’m stuck in a random squat which is always a winner :-)

Finally I wanted to mention my lovely eyes by IKON. I’ve been wearing the same eyes for ages and ages now but have seen lots of photos and so when I spotted the Destiny Eyes at The Boutique event I decided I would try them out and I was not disappointed at all.» View author and full post…

Why Do I Blog Meme

Strawberry Singh published another meme today with questions about the reason why she blogs and so I thought I’d post my own responses to.

Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers to your post, delete my answers and input your own. You can also post your blog here so that everyone else can take a look.

1. How long have you been blogging? Since October 2010
2. Why did you start blogging?
I initially wanted to create a project 365 style blog of my SL fashions and adventures around the grid. That lasted quite a while before I gave up but the blog continued.
3. How many times a week do you post an entry?
It varies week to week because my RL job is quite hectic and sometimes I don’t get home until stupid o’clock in the evening but I try at least a couple of times a week.
4. How many different blogs do you read on a regular basis?
I regularly look at the Seraphim blog to see all the new releases. I also get quite a few blogs delivered to my email inbox as I am rubbish with the readers (Strawberry Singh’s, Whisper Mizin, Juicybomb, Atiya Masala amongst others)

Taxiii

There’s like a bazillion sales on in Second Life this weekend and my wallet is crying already but they cannot be missed!

My dress and shoes are from Hucci where there is a 50% spring sale on everything. I love Hucci and was surprised how many things I didn’t already own so stocked up.

I also want to say how great the owner Eboni is as I had a problem with an item when I accidentally clicked buy as gift and she sorted it out so quickly I couldn’t have asked for better service.

There is also a sale at PXL on the new Sophia skin for VIP group members who get 25% of purchases of the skins and make up. Just wear your group tag and the discount is applied.

The skin is very pretty and natural looking and for $900L I bought the skin with this lovely bright red lipstick and four different eyeshadows.

My hair wasn’t in a sale but is new. I really like the curls and even though my hair is naturally curly in RL I wish it looked as good as this in RL!

It’s time to grab your bag, best shopping heels and head for the taxi!!!» View author and full post…

Black White and a Touch of Gold

Black White and a Touch of Gold by Lexia Barzane (www.lexiabarzane.com)
I couldn’t decide what to wear today and started off thinking I would wear a nice summery dress as the sun is out here still in the UK. Whilst raiding my inventory I ended up wearing this top by MarieDoll and from their the look developed in to my look of the day.Everything I am wearing is a bit older but I think it looks good together and will take me from the shopping I have planned to a night out if I fancy it.

Meme intructions: Copy and paste the following 8 questions and answers to your blog post, delete my answers and input your own! Don’t forget to link your post in Strawberry Singh’s original post so everyone can read yours!

  1. What’s your SL name? Lexia Barzane
  2. What made you choose this name? For no particular reason at all I really wanted the name Alexia but it wasn’t available.So I tried a few variations and decided I liked Barzane as a last name and Lexia seemed to work with it.
  3. What’s your SL nickname, or what do most people call you? (if applicable) Lex, Lexi, Hop a long (after almost breaking my ankle this week)
  4. What’s your SL display name? Why do you choose to have one? (if applicable) ღ Ḻεχi ღ (lexia.barzane). I like the shortened form of my name and it means others will always call me it plus I wanted it to look pretty!
  5. Do you like your SL name? Yes :-)
  6. If you could change your SL name, what would it be? Maybe something nearer my RL name (Victoria) but then again I really love Lexia
  7. What’s the craziest/funniest SL name you’ve ever seen? I can’t remember any at the moment!

The Sun Has Got His Hat On

The sun finally arrived here in the UK and on my week of so it was double yay! The sun certainly inspired my outfit today and so I decidd to go blonde and to find my shades for that touch of summer. I wanted to wear a hat that I was sure I owned but I can’t find it in the disaster that is my inventory!

My top is by the Secret Store at the current round of FaMESHed. It comes in lots of patterns and I also bought a pack of three in pastel shades and of course went lilac! The shoes are also available at FaMESHed and are by [GOS] Boutique I love this style of shoe in SL and Rl and so couldn’t resist when I saw them. These are going to be part of many summer outfits.
My jeans are by Reckless Ambitions at The Box event. They come in cropped (which I am wearing) and full length and are really nicely made I think.
I am very excited by the sunshine and long summer evenings that are to come, it’s a shame I have to go back to work next week!

Back to Black

Back to Black by Lexia Barzane (www.lexiabarzane.com)

I finally visited the Pose Fair \o/ (I can’t find the landmark sorry) and picked up this free pose from Ploom which came complete with handcuffs ;-) . Trying the pose and handcuffs on inspired me to do a bit of a Chicago themed shoot in a prison. I remembered that I have the Lockdown pose prop from Glitterati and after copying the prison cell a few times and with a bit of editing I started looking for my outfit.

I really really love this Hope skin from the Skinnery that I bought at the recent skin fair. Initially I thought maybe the lips were a bit big for my face but I now totally love how pouty they are. As I love it so much I decided to wear it again today and slicked on my bright red lipstick also from the Skinnery because it’s really glamorous I think. I decided that I needed a glam up do and picked out this old hair from Truth.

My dress is by ISON from the current round of Collabor88. It’s been blogged a few times now in black but that suited my photo theme so I decided i’d blog it again! The dress is cute because it comes with a vest/shirt/jacket layer with the bird effect and then the body of the dress is mesh and comes with great curves.
