[Outfit] Celeste by PixelDolls

PixelDolls has a wonderful new freebie dress release! The dress is called Celeste and it includes 12 different colors (I'm wearing the Ivory). I really like the texture of this halter dress, the stars and swirls are fitting to the name. The prim skirt is well done with just enough transparency to it. The ever present black belt has the detail of a lot of the PixelDoll tops. I don't mind the belt on some colors, but I definitely could have done without it on the lighter ones. I think the dress design and the texture could have looked fantastic on its own. (Beggars can't be choosers, I know!) Don't miss out on this freebie release at Port Seraphine, don't know how long it will last!.

Tropical Eyes from Ameretto

When I buy eyes I usually go for beautiful colors and detail (which these eyes do have). I don't like most of the eyes that contain a scene but when I saw these I fell in love! These are the Calypso collection from Amaretto. They come in six wonderful colors and they all have a very detailed tropical scene within. With palm trees, water and the horizon, these you really need to check out for yourself.







Here I am wearing the Daquiri color (could resist) in the larger size.


And here is the smaller size, more human like which I prefer.

You can find Ameretto here where you can purchase the eyes for $100L each.

Dressing Room anyone?

I lurk on the SL Forums a lot and I found this thread that I think offers a lot of helpful hints for those homeless fashion addict avatars or those who love to change their shape every other day.



Portable Dressing Room for us homeless
http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=192534

Highlights:

• Use the NCI Dressing rooms (Search Places for NCI)
• Find a mature sim on the map, find a place where there aren't a lot of people around or none at all and change there
• Fly up high, do your changing in the sky
• Go to a public sandbox and either rez a hollow box for you to change in, rez a small house or find a portable dressing room to buy or for free it rez
• Find a store that has dressing rooms for you to use - if its busy though, be sure to let the "real" customers use the facilities first
• And the best suggestion - find yourself a cheap apartment to rent and you'll have a place of your own
  

In the first couple of months, this was exactly how I felt. I love to try on my clothes and change my shape but there was never any good place to do it. Before I knew about modesty and PG sims, I used to change in public. Those where my exhibitionist days. Then some helpful man let me know that while he appreciated the show, some other people wouldn't and that I could find a dressing room at the NCI plaza. I spent a lot of time in that dressing room, crowded with all the other newbies and semi-newbies sorting through their freebies. I've tried going to a secluded place, but after my embarrassment of public nudity it felt to weird. I've even tried dressing in a box or a small house in sandbox. I always felt that it was just meant to test your building skills in, so I never felt right spending an hour checking out my inventory.

Eventually I sucked it up and looked for a low rent apartment to call my own - dressing room that is.

So if anyone new SL souls need a place to come change, IM me when you see me online and you can come to my place, I know how it feels.

Only a couple days left for the Canimal Sale!

Haven't posted this yet, but I have been shopping! Go check it out and don't miss out on the things you don't own yet :)

Happy Independence Day!

To all you Americans - Have a Fun and Safe 4th of July! Enjoy the sun, the pool, the beach, the beer, the BBQs and of course all the fireworks! I'll be out enjoying them myself :)

Soda and Second Wave Sale!

Outfit: Sassafras Robin

I love when I'm online at the right time. And today I was online to catch this:

Sassafras is opening a second location, and we're throwing a Grand Opening party
to celebrate! From 6:15pm - 7:15pm tonight (SLT), there'll be door prizes,
two new releases (one of which premiered yesterday at the MO Island Fashion
Show!), and fun people - it should be a blast.

Where I was lucky enough to win a door prize! I purchased a few outfits I'm looking forward to trying on. In the above picture I'm wearing my door prize, the Robin top from Sassafras. I love the deep blue color, I'm partial to it because I get to wear one of my favorite Vogue skins. The buttons up the front and the collar on the white undershirt are are so cute. I like the jacket length, because you can't always be showing the navel and the wrinkles are pretty decent. My one complaint is with the sleeves that do a pretty good job of matching at the seams, but I would have liked to see a little more attention to the shading detail where the shirt would hit the skin (I for one am a fan of the designers who use shading around parts of of where the clothing meets skin).
