Blueberry

Comfy Casual

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Hello my lovelies! Today I’d like to show you a wonderfully versatile jacket/dress combo outfit from Adorsy called Natasha. Just the jacket by itself is nicely tailored, with a little hanging belt and trim pieces. On top of that, though, it includes a dress that you can turn on or off, and a pair of panties that can be turned on and off as well.

It comes in seven single colors put it is the fatpack that really shines, with 30 colors for the coat, 40 colors for the dress, 30 colors for the panties/belt/pockets, 40 colors for the collars including 10 fur options, and 5 button options and 2 metals. There is also a loose version included for more flexibility with other clothes.

Here I have the jacket in a dark blue with a lovely flower print for the dress, matched up with a pair of starry leggings from Alaska Metro. The jacket allows separate color selections for the collar, the belt, and the pockets/sleeve trim, though I made them all light blue in this shot.

If you’d like a more upscale city look, here is Natasha with a white jacket and a dark blue dress and trim pieces.

For a lighter look, here I’ve gone with a pale shade for the jacket with an ombre dress selection.

Until next time my sweet friends! Cheers!

Add one more… One more Addams, that is

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Hello dear ones! Today I’d like to feature a few items from Addams, who are right up there on my list of truly quality clothing designers.

Let’s look first as the Carolina Women’s Wool Dress, available in 22 single colors or a fatpack with HUD. It has lovely detail that really catches the light, and the shape is very flattering. Don’t you just want to snuggle up to someone in that? In the coral color I matched it with some pretty over the knee boots from Mutresse called Kaisia, available in an 18 color HUD fatpack with lots of mix and match color parts.

And black is always nice and slimming. Here I wore the Carolina wool dress with the Chetare boots in ebony from Bella Moda.

Addams is also really good with jackets. Here is a casual denim number, Melissa, that opens up nicely around the chest to show off… whatever nice top you are wearing (insert giggle here!).  However I chose to wear my fave Blueberry tank, the Lola; and rounded it off with a neat pair of jeans called Dita from Lapointe and Bastchild (subject of a future blog!)  The Addams Melissa jacket comes in a substantial 41 single colors, or a fatpack with HUD. It has a flopped down hood in back that you can turn on or off, with 16 colors of its own.

Finally, we have a sharp looking leather jacket with woolly collar from Addams called Lulu, available in 14 single colors or a HUD fatpack. It too opens up nicely around the chest area; in this case there is an option for a bra that can be turned on and off. The bra is not quite to my taste so instead I used another goody from Lapointe & Bastchild, a retro tank top that will be in that future post too!

That’s it for this time, my lovelies! Cheers!

Bottom or Top?

Jaz Fashion, LotD, Reviews

That’s ‘pants’ or ‘jacket/blouse’ of course…. Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show off a selection of tops and bottoms for a range of occasions.

It’s summer! And time to be outdoors enjoying the fresh air. Nature beckons with a lovely jacket from Giz Seorn called Trixie, available in eight denim colors plus a fat pack that tosses in pretty designs such as this one. It’s available at the Vanity event. Complementing the light summer feel is a pair of my favorite jeans, Tali from Blueberry, with over 20 single colors, a fat pack, and even a separate leather fat pack.

Club time you say? How about a little bit of purple to shake things up? Returning to Blueberry again, the Bette top is very versatile, with both long and short versions and over 20 individual colors plus a fat pack. The pants are a sweet half-lace number called Toxica from Gulabi, with over 30 single colors plus a fat pack with bonus lace patterns.

  • Blouse: Bette Dress Shirt – Short by Blueberry
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Necklace: Endear Ladies Key Necklace and Gypsy Necklace – Black Pearl/Silver by EarthStones
  • Hair: VANILLA A and VENEZIA A by eXxEsS
  • Boots: Not Whyte Beaded Laced Ankle Boot by RFYRE
  • Jewelry: Boho Ring Collection by *KATE*
  • Pose: Semper Infidelis by Bauhaus Movement

On those days when the sun is maybe a little bright and it’s time for the floppy hat, we can still go with our Toxica pants, here in a light blue, and mix it with another offering from Gulabi, the Noctra jacket, which comes in an astounding 60 single colors, plus a fat pack with exclusive colors. What’s more, the jacket has a variety of different sections that can be recolored in the fat pack with any of the other colors; truly a very versatile top!

  • Jacket: Noctra by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Shoes: Celine by Astralia
  • Hat: MI Female Hat by Meli Imoko (Marketplace link)
  • Hair: Valentina by Truth Hair
  • Pose: Sexy 08 by Aeon Animation (no relation to our Aeon!) (Marketplace link)

And finally, when you *really* need to get away from it all, here is the Gulabi Noctra jacket again in one of its other colors, paired this time with the Leather Cult Pants from Aris Aris, which includes 12 colors. For good measure I added the Lola tanktop by Blueberry.

I hope you all enjoyed my little romp through tops and bottoms! Let’s see what I come up with next time, shall we?

Cheers!

 

Angelic

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Let me share a fabulous little treasure with you today.  A dear friend gave me a wonderful gift recently — the lovely Angelic dress from Blueberry

Angelic is a beautiful little mini with gorgeous little wing detail on the rear shoulder straps, and comes in fitmesh for most of your mesh body choices!

Like most of the treasures at Blueberry, Angelic is available in a wealth of colours and patterns.  The Fatpack features a HUD with a few extra choices – solid colours with a flower texture.

Blueberry  has long been one of my favourites for women’s clothing in SL.  It seems they always have something new to entice me!

Now… as a little side note… spare a thought for angels… for new lives, new births, new wings learning to fly.  With all the fear and uncertainty and stress in this world, there’s always new life to find, and new ones to celebrate.  So, to the one for whom it counts, Hau`oli Lā Hānau, Happy Birthday, special one, you are treasured beyond words.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Shiny

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Alaska Metro <3 featured this amazing bodysuit back in December for an event, and while I stopped and picked it up, I hadn’t had the chance to share it with you before now.  Kristal is an applier bodysuit that has beautiful reflective detail.  It’s just glorious as you dance under coloured lights!

A good bodysuit works on a Friday night out visiting the clubs….. but is even better when you can come home and lose the jeans…

Kristal comes with two versions, one featuring a modesty panel for those who would rather not be quite so… transparent.  This is definitely one of the best applier textures I’ve ever seen!

Happy Aloha Friday, my wonderful friends!    Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Holiday Shop & Hop

blue LotD

This is the last day of the Shop & Hop event!  If you haven’t been there, you should run over as quickly as possible.  There are a number of FREE gifts from some of the best designers in SL just waiting for you, five of which I’m showing you today!

First up are these fab thigh boots.  They come in fits for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique, and include a four color HUD with two shades in neutral, and a green and a red.  The buckles at the back are well done, and you can see them at the end of the post.

Next up, the tied top comes with fitmesh sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.  It also has a HUD to allow color change of the fabric, laces, and metal grommets, with get this!  35 colors for the fabric, 35 colors for the laces, and 7 metals for the grommets!  What an awesome gift!

As a redhead, I tend to use neutral makeup options, and since I got my new mesh head, I’ve been looking around for a neutral lippy similar to what I wore with my system head.  The ones that came with the mesh head are not quiet dark enough for my liking.  So I was happy to find a lippy in neutrals as a gift at the event.  It’s a tiny bit too dark, but it’s far better then the ones I’ve been wearing recently.  Included in the pack are three shades in the matte shown here, and a gloss version of each too.  Also included is the matching eyeshadow.  It comes with appliers for Catwa, LeLutka, and Omega, and also on system tattoo layers.

And what can I say about this hairstyle?  It’s a fabulously generous gift, with four different rigged mesh options: the normal hair, a “breeze” version where there is some movement in your hair, a materials enabled version that reflects the light, and one with both the breeze and materials enabled (shown).  It has two HUDs one offering solid colors and the other ombrés, with 56 colors each ranging from dark as night brunette to silvery white, and all the colors in beween!  That’s 112 colors girls!  WOW!  Now, having said that, it comes with a hair band with two snowflakes on it, but fortunately, the hairstyle is modify.  So with some minimal building skills you can hide the hair band and snowflakes by texturing them 100% transparent, letting you wear the hair all year round instead of just for the holidays.  Don’t forget to take a backup if you’re going to try this, just in case you mess it up.

Lastly, the necklace I’m wearing is also one of four gifts on offer from this designer.  It has fits for Lara, Slink, and classic avatars, which is really nice.  It also has a HUD that allows you to select one of four designs for the middle of the coin, and one of six metal textures.

And finally, here’s an over the shoulder shot so you can see the boot buckles.

Whew!  I’m pooped after writing all that!  See you tomorrow xoxo

Sunshine

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I’ve been wanting to share this little outfit with you for ages now, and I’ve finally got the perfect excuse.  My lovely Blue gave me a gift certificate to Blueberry ages ago for my birthday and these were two little pieces that I fell in love with.  Britan is a beautiful little denim mini, and Koko is the fun half-cropped top!  Both items are sold single-colour, but come in rigged mesh and mesh-body-fitmesh sizes.  Britan has a little HUD that allows you to change the belt colour, rivet/metal texture, and panty colour — or just do away with the panties in the first place.  Koko comes in two variants for each colour — with and without the printed pattern.

I really am excited to share these foil freckles with you from Alaska Metro.  Alaska is rolling out a new free-join group — Alaskametro<3 loves, and the foil freckles are your gift for joining up.  They come both in Omega appliers and standard tattoo layers in six different lovely shades.  I’m in love!

Your look is out there just waiting for you to find it.  Thank you, Blue my love, for helping me find my way every day.  ♥♥♥

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Box on

blue LotD

Being always on the lookout for new outfits, I watch group chat for SLF&O for Midnight Mania boards to slap, and any other offers that come up.  Sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with a new outfit to get a blog post out for you every day!

Anyway, as I was watching yesterday, someone announced a free outfit at a store, and I dutifully went to look.  And how good is this?  Some designers are just awesomely generous!

The gym shorts and crop top are separates, and come in sizes for Isis, Freya, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, TMP, and Maitreya.

Boxing is a great way to keep fit, or so I hear hehehe.  I knew I’d find an opportunity to use the fist pose for my hands one day, and this is it!

There is also a HUD included that lets you texture the shorts and top separately.  It includes some rather funny designs for the top 🙂

Lace top

blue LotD

Oh!  Blue, my namesake at Blueberry is spoiling us!  She just released this amazing top for FREE!

The top comes in two versions, short and long, and in sizes for all three Belleza bodies, both Slinks, and Maitreya Lara.

 

And it comes with a massive HUD with 27 color choices in both lace and plain for the main fabric.  It allows you to texture the lace trim, main fabric, and ties separately, and it allows you to switch the lace trim on and off!

Wow, just wow.  Blueberry’s October group gift top is one of my favourites, and I’m sure this will quickly become a favourite too!

Sami revisited

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Carrie’s Lingerie has released another new update on an old friend.  Sami was one of my favourite old applier pieces of lingerie, so I’m so happy to have the updated version with Omega appliers.  The lace-up back is just mmmmms.

  • Carrie’s Lingerie — Sami (fuscia) corset and stockings
  • .wound — Ribbon choker (dark)
  • Lazuri — Classic Pearls earrings and bracelet
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Noir Leather)
  • <K&S> — Candy #1 pose

Sami comes in six strong colours (and a fatpack is available), so you’re sure to find your look.

I usually don’t follow boudoir shots with something more covered up, but I do like wearing a corset and a pair of jeans… it’s perfect for a casual sexy look when you’re out for the pub.

I am so glad that Carrie’s Lingerie has continued to update some of the older pieces with Omega appliers.  I can think of quite a few to put on their list — Fireangel in particular, and that one burlesque-y outfit that I haven’t seen in the main store for ages!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
