Last week Sasy dragged me out of my house and over to the Designer United II event. The theme they had worked on was “the Crow”. Many offerings of feathered themed or feathered clothes and accessories, and most in black. I bought quite a lot of it, and regret not buying all of it. I really enjoyed all the feathered theme clothes. Design wise so much can be done inworld with an event like this when you get people together to have some fun. Design challenges should be done more often, and I beg designers to really keep their heads up, and be quick to sign up and participate for ALL of them regardless of whats going on. I am sure you have noticed feathers all over the feed as bloggers showcased their shopping finds there.

Beetlebones & Sexy In Pink
I paired my top from Beetlebones called Shake Your Tail Feathers in Gunmetal, with a tutu skirt from the new releases at Sexy in Pink. The tank has a feathered attachment for your shoulder which takes it from casual to chic, and I have played with that attachment enough now it goes with so many other clothing items. If you have it, try it! Sexy in Pink did a new release this past week, with skirts, stockings, tops, and belts. Shown here is the tutu skirt in pink, with their Punk Silver Stud Belt, and Wide Net fishnet stockings. It’s a fun flirty skirt, a wardrobe builder, and available in several colors. I had to wear my Animosity boots from SiniStyle with, I don’t wear them enough considering how long I lusted after them. These are a great boot, and could seriously hold their own in a mosh pit, as they are sexy and versatile. I am so happy to have these awesome gloves from LeLutka, designed by Marni Grut, who was recently added to the design team there this fall. Sporty and chic, they are sexy gloves, with great texture work. I chose my perky Natasha hair from ETD in black, with my Mia Pinup Skin from Idiosyncrasy, to complete a fun stylish look. The make up works perfect with this style of hair.

Sasy and I were out shopping late last night my time, when I mentioned how badly I wanted a particular bag from Emery, but on a previous visit I was unable to locate it. Armed with Sasy, and a ScreenSmarts hud we were able to track it down to the building next door to Emery, filled with accessories, and other clothing with the ShopQuick feature. So glad we did too!

DeLa just released a new long cardigan called Lily. Available in a variety of colors, while I should have grabbed a fatpack, I ended up getting the Pale Blue and Black one shown here. It’s a very well textured piece, with prim upper and lower sleeves, prim belt and bottom in 3 sizes all modifiable. The large buttons on the front are a light brown, and the sculpted pockets on the bottom are amazingly realistic. Deep plunging neckline begs to show off your cleavage, though this cardigan is also well suited for layering with other items, and pants.
I recently picked up a pair of The Catalyst boots at TheAbyss. These also come in a variety of colors, and for those who are especially keen on light pink thigh highs should come check these out. Three prim parts compose the boot, well done so they climb quite high on the thigh. Good highlight sheen on them makes them stand out as well. The heels and toe portions are pointed and impossibly high. These boots raised my avatars height by five inches (13 millimeters). The instructions that are included with purchase state “Avoid extreme bending of the knee for a more aesthetic look.”, to be honest I sampled over 100 poses while photographing this, the stands, sits, and lays showed no problems with any of the prims, but there are many other poses and animations that might cause a bit of show through, fortunately the shoe layer is tinted black, and even has a slight shadow at the top for an added bit of realism.
I wanted to go easy on the accessories letting the whole ensemble be simple and chose LeLutka’s Alisa necklace, and Zaara’s Tarika Claw Earrings. Both items feature a lot of thought in construction. Zaara’s earrings are superbly textured and built. They also come in gold, and turquoise. LeLutka has a new jewelry designer on board, Anykey Munster of Golden Fleece Jewelry. A good deal if not all of the new jewelry by AnyKey at LeLutka is scripted to color change giving you one amazing piece, with hundreds of options and on some pieces there are over 1000 color combinations at one hell of an affordable price. SLink’s Signature Series Tote was the first bag I thought of while dressing. I love the superior textures used on it, and the silver finishing. It comes with animation, but I copied and shifted the attachment point to the left so I can wear it with my favorite tote accommodating ao.
My skin is from a skin gift/bloggers pack from Exodi. This is Lily! I have been admiring Exodi’s skins as they have evolved from early stages in development to final release via the designers plurks. She is keen on a wide variety of make ups, many that are combinations that you don’t see enough of inworld. This particular one is skin tone Cedar, the make up is frosted with dark brows. I like the finely arched brow, and the brown eye make up with pink lips a personal favorite. The skin tone was lush, good highlights and shadows, over all its a nice skin, and features several beauty marks on the back. Definitely pick up some demos for more of a look-see! My hair is from Fascino, called Licio in Cocoa. Flexi, and long, with good textures. Fascino is a small hair store with a couple of cute very windblown hairs with and without poses for those interested. I hope to see lots more styles from them soon. There is a group gift at the store too. My sunglasses are from PrimOptic, called Globe 2. They feature a wide range of scripted features from flight assist, to color changeable frames and lenses.

Plastik Lamb
I recently visited Plastik to pick up their Shredder dress in black, which was in the front of the store for a reduced price, and found this denim dress in brown. It was difficult to choose a color, as Plastik’s designer, Aikea Rieko, provides items in a wide variety of colors, textures, and even variations in style per item. This particular dress is available for purchase with this bodice undone as shown, or closed, both separately. I was in love with how this store has such vivid, rich, saturated tones
League’s Old Antique Brown Belted Leather Jacket was a great addition. Nena Janus is very good with the level of detail she pays to her clothing, and this jacket is a good example of it. Her distressed leather texture is rich, and finely detailed. The jacket is available in long, medium, and short (shown here), with options for slim prim sleeves, and thick ones. Included are matching gloves. Prim collar and arm belts are well constructed, and League’s items are mod, so a good fit is assured.
I spent way too much time playing in my boot folder before deciding on Maitreya’s Billow Boots in brown, the style of them balanced out the outfit. These boots are a favorite (ok yeah I know, all boots are my favorite, I love boots). Maitreya is known for their detailed textures, and good design, if you haven’t tried them before, you owe it to yourself to grab some demos. These boots are available in a variety of colors.
My hair from Lamb named Milk was picked up at the latest $50L Friday promotion is my current obsession. Available in a variety of colors, this particular one was part of the promotion which included two hairs, Black with red running through it, and this one called Pale, which made me giggle when it rezzed because of the darker roots. I have grown to like it in the past 24 hours quite a lot, and would love to see this as a permanent texture for the store its giggly awesome…along with my usual requests/pleas to designers to make a “Naturals Pack”, that includes a Black, Brown, Blonde, and Red shade. You have to admit if someone was gonna made dark roots on platinum hair, Lamb nailed it. The style itself is very lovely, a small braid across the top, and it’s a long hair style, and Lamb has done it all prim, so its static, but it IS mod so you can adjust it easily.
Accessories I am wearing are Armidi’s Niama Necklace, which is a nice full necklace, tons of prim work here shown in White Gold. Armidi has excellent jewelry textures, their gold not being yellow or too brassy. Truth’s Hipster belt in bronze, picked up some of the other reddish-brown tones I liked. This is a great belt to own, its comes with two attachment points, so you don’t even have to copy and attach. I also used part of another purchase I made at Plastik, from their Infinity Dress, the leg strings. These are great as they are on the sock layer, and no extra prims to even think about modding.
Tuli has been sidelined by Real Life at the moment, leaving us all in great suspense for her Bella skin. This I have from the Skin/Shape Expo earlier this month. Awesome skin, 2 push up options on it, read the post here. I would love to cite what poses I used, but completely forgot! I suspect, Leafy, Maitreya, Long Awkward Pose, and KS Creations possibly.
