A Land Down Under

blue LotD

This top and capri set from Entice is called “Land Down Under”.  I dutifully found an Aussie themed sim.

The top and pants come in standard mesh sizes, with a one-size-fits all fitmesh size.  Unfortunately, the fitmesh size does not fit Maitreya Lara (the cuffs of the capris fall right in the middle of an alpha zone, and that alpha is needed, sadly).  I’m wearing the small and this seems to work with Lara pretty well.

The outfit comes with a three texture HUD, for this version all the textures are in black and white.  There are other colors available at the Entice store however.

I’m sort of at a loss as to why this outfit is Australian, but I suppose you have to pick some name for your clothing 🙂

This absolutely gorgeous lace bra and panty set is a group gift from MAAI.  It’s exclusively fitmesh for Maitreya Lara.  MAAI is FREE to join.

The only tiny flaw is the small bulge in the underbust area, but this is hardly noticeable with normal wear.

As with all good lingerie designers, MAAI knows just were things should be transparent and just where they should be opaque.  What a wonderful something to welcome your partner home in 🙂

I know it’s summer in SL, but it’s coming up to winter in the Southern Hemisphere where I live, so having won this lovely little wool dress on an MM, I thought I’d share it with you now rather than wait six months 🙂

It comes in fitmesh sizes for classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Ebody, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Fine, and Maitreya.  Even though this is Lara fitmesh, there is a little body break though particularly around the shoulders in some poses.  I’m not sure if playing with your shape would fix this or not (I didn’t try).  Walking around in it is just fine.

To accessorize, I chose one of the jewelry gifts from FaMESHed (I hope you made it to the event!)  A choker goes well with this not only for looks, but because the dress is thick, a long necklace won’t look right if you adjust it to drape over the dress.

I was looking for some thigh boots in my inventory when I came across these great winter boots that I’d forgotten I had!  They are unrigged and so work just fine with Lara.  I love the pretty detail on these!

This is a really nice top and skirt combo from SkitzoFreniks Designs, a new designer for me.  Someone called the Midnight Mania board in SLF&O so I went and slapped it 🙂

The top and skirt are one piece and come in standard rigged sizes plus fitmesh for classic, Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza.

The detailing on the sleeves is really nice!

I also wanted to specifically point out this hair from Ayashi.  I picked it up at the 2015 Hair Fair and I don’t think I’ve ever worn it because it came in just one shade of red that didn’t appeal to me.  But while looking for something to match with this outfit, I noticed that while it is mesh hair, it’s modify.  Usually that doesn’t mean much as you still can’t resize or move it, but… you can tint it 🙂

That’s exactly what I did with this hair.  I used a very light green tint to change it from a much more purplish red to a color I was much happier with.  This is a great tip to keep in mind for anything that you have mod rights for (don’t forget to take a backup first!)

Born this way

Only in the interests of unbiased reporting am I wearing this!  Full-on goth like this is certainly not my style.

This outfit is system/applier based (system layers and appliers for Omega, Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya).  It includes the gloves, fishnets, jewelry (including a spiked hand piece which I’ve chosen not to wear as it’s not Bento compatible), the arm and thigh bracelets, the necklace, the headpiece, and the nose ring.  It also includes the spiked shoes for Slink High and the lace bow and bustle.

I really like the half gloves.  I’m sure they’ll get a mix and match with a leather outfit I have!

And, umm can I plug into these Marshalls?  hehehe

Here’s a nice little outfit from Artic Storm.

The jacket is mesh (fitmesh for classic, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) and the jeans are system and Omega applier.

The cutout applier jeans are very cute, and it’s sometimes nice to have a good set of applier jeans to go under a jacket or into some boots without having to worry about mesh breakthrough.

SLF&O gift by Ashmoot

A very nice set of applier lingerie by Ashmoot today.  This is a FREE gift for members of SLF&O.  So hurry and get yours!  SLF&O is FREE to join.

This set comes with system layers and appliers for Slink, Maitreya, and Omega.  I was looking though my hairstyles and came across this one, which I know I haven’t shown you before (hint, it’s leaning to the pink side hehe).

Something about this outfit shouts “Doctor!” to me.  So here we are at the emergency room 🙂

The top and pants are separate (I already have mix’n’match ideas for the pants grins) and are in standard mesh sizes plus fitmesh for Slink Physique and Hourglass.

As this is white (another not so friendly colour for redheads) I’ve used the opportunity to showcase another gift from FaMESHed, this great little hairstyle from Wasabi Pills.  FaMESHed runs until the 27th of May, so you still have time to run over there!

Harmonic Nature

A really cute little crop top and skirt today!  I love the texture.  The creator said she made it from a photo she took at a botanical garden.  It looks lovely!

Sizes are classic, and fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.  It also includes a prim skirt which turns it into a gown with a very casual top.  I don’t think I’ll be wearing that 🙂
