Addicted To Base

Addicted To Base

Most days I can be found bumming around the grid in my jeans, Sasy can attest to this.  I have managed to acquire quite a collection as once I find a pair I love, I tend to go back and grab the fat pack.  I’d planned a post on my favorite jeans, and then couldn’t decide on shades, and hem styles, so I have decided time willing to split them all up into a post on each store rather then an all in one.

I’m starting off with Nyte’N’Day’s Essential Jeans.  They  feature 2 styles of leg hems, in Cuffed and Straight, both of which are well sculpted enough that I can’t pick a favorite and just wear them according to what suits my mood and look.  They come in 6 colors Acid, Dark, Dark Blue, Dark Stone, Light, and Stone. Good detail and seams, and the shading done brilliantly. The acid wash reminds me of their Button-Fly Jeans in faded if you ever loved these, you can snag the Essential in Acid for an updated variation.

My outfit starts with Nyte’N’Day’s Hok Shirt in Espresso, a sculpted fitted halter.  Featured in several colors, with beads at the shoulder its a sexy shirt. Mind you there is no way one could create this shirt with a glitch layer, so be prepared, wear your hottest skin, cause it’s gonna be a peep show for the public if your skin rezzes before the sculpt does!  The included glitch layer is worn low to provide extra fabric when you stretch between the halter and the base tie.  I love it, and damn straight I didn’t let a silly thing like flashing people keep me from wearing it.  I have on Tuli’s latest skin, Audrey, worn with the eyelash layer.  This is an interesting skin, definitely Tuli all around, and well done, but limiting if you are not using viewers that allow for extra layers.  SL 2.0/2.1 is the recommended viewer for this skin if you want the ability to wear the eyelash base AND the lipstick layers.  On Emerald I could manage eyelash or lips,  I love Tuli’s lips in the natural/bare and went for the lashes.  My belt is also from Nyte’N’Day it’s their latest release and comes in various neutrals shown here in dark brown.  A new release from Kalnins is on my feet! Saleina!  If you aren’t familiar with Kalnins Footwear, they specialise in sculpted shoes usually with prim feet.  One of the most simple to use shoe huds for tinting included, I swear it’s no tears!  The hud also lets you change various elements of the shoe from store selected colors to customise them for your look.  I am wearing pounds and pounds of jewels, from Zaara and Mandala, all this topped off with a new release from LeLutka, their Amanda hair! I love the messy look with hair sticks holding them together.

Lush & Structure

Amacci just released this beautiful hair base with hair knot and three styles.  I really love the form of the hair knot, specially with it little whisps coming out of the bottom.  The three hair styles are Lara, Lena, and Liana.  All lovely ponytails each sporting a different bang/fringe, that with the hair bases, really create a natural hairline.  Shown here are Lara in Brown Sugar, Lena in Henna, and Liana in Swedish Blonde.  All other hair bases, with hair knot shown in Brown Auburn, my favorite red there.

I was in the mood for purple today and it had needed to be luscious shade, so I chose Je*Republic’s  jacket called Tartanism.  It features sculpted collar, cuffs, belt, and lower half. The plaid itself is well done, and it comes in a variety of colors, I went with Blue Violet.  I paired it with the shorts and socks from DeLa’s Mirielle outfit, which have a nice finish on the seams, giving it a nice tailored looks but easy on prims as it’s all layer.  I have these fun pumps from LeLutka, the word pump is a misnomer, as I find these are a great heel, rather than pump, with a fantastic mary jane look as well. I love the look of them with the stockings.  I am wearing a mass of jewelry from nails with rings, and earrings from Mandala, and a coordinating necklace from Zaara.  I went with Armidi’s Focsani Bag in 24k gold to pick up the gold rivets in the belt.  This skin from Chaisuki has this nice smokey eye, which I accentuated with lashes from Sky Everett Designs,  they were part of a free pack of them, that may still be out.  Together the face has this lush look about the eye, that suits the dewy tone of the skin.
