There is also time to still participate in Bandan Day by creating your own using the kit we provide, all bandana’s will only be sold at Hair Fair by the Hair Fair committee, so please be sure to have yours in on time.Please send a notecard to CharitySasy String if you would like a kit. Thank you

There is a project going on at the moment, a collaberation between a dozen or so different designers, all at Potters Field. Now the idea of the theme, and location is although morbid, quite dynamic all at the same time. I got these great clothes that can be used as seperates… and what is not to love with that hat.

The skin is the new Audrey skin by Tuli, a beautiful faced skin, that comes with many different options, but be very very aware, the options will not do you any good if you don’t use a viewer with tattoo layers. The lipsticks are all on tatttoo, so without tat options you will have bare lips on all skins, which is not that big a deal if you are not overly fond of lippy. The cleavage this time around is also on layers, so if you use a viewer that only allows for one tattoo, you are going to have to choose as well. This could be very unfortunate for those that have their own tattoo layers occupied with something like tattoos.

It is a shame that many residents that refuse to use the viewer 2 and 2.1 options, or those that will not use 3rd party viewers that have them, will miss out on the options of this skin, but then it might just be what motivates them enough to give it another try.

Very old and new hair from LeLutka, the old being Aradia, a wonderful straight style that so suited the looks, and Sugar and Deja Vu again, so soft, and fluffy. I am also wearing SLinks Charity shoes from Shoe Fair, these come with the option of colour or cork wedge, the colour option being the colour the shoe is. So sleek and shiny the leather is, and so versatile, them being perfect for this dark and sombre look, but fun and funky for another time.

The shoes have the sculpted foot part built in, so instead of tinting to match my skin on the second, I went and tinted to match my socks, so funna with the ability to do that.

So last night Whimsy and I were out and about doing our thing, when we decided that we were going to pick one store, and use the same item in a post. We got so excited that we even went to the store and ran around falling in love with everything all over again. Whimsy fell in love with the displays in the store, and they were/are adorable, but I was so overly impressed by the whole new and improved build – as I had not yet seen it, and it is lovely.

So we ran home and jumped on our VR Studios and decided on the Mete as our shared item from Nyte n Day, I have shown it before as it’s own set, but today decided to take the main piece which is the beautiful tube top and work it in with some other Nyte n Day as well as designs from others. Nyte n Day has an incredible assortment of versatile separates, as well as complete sets, all at incredibly affordable prices. So mixing and matching is a breeze. Now during all of this of course Whimsy crashed hard core, and so much so that she didn’t return, I stood and waited, posing with the DARE poses of awesome but no Whimsy *pouts.

Finally she came back today, and of course while I was head down bum up in Group invites for Hair Fair, she took her pics, and now we are writing at the same time. I am yet to see hers, but know it will be full of win as usual. You can see her post, if you haven’t already, over at Virtually Dressed. The hair I am wearing is Hepburn a new style by LeLutka, how cute is it, such an adorable little ponytail, almost Gidget like as well, the ribbon tie is colour change on click, and a lovely natural look.

The Shoe Fair is still going strong, and another fabulous release at the fair are the Mieke boots by SLink. These riding boots are amazing, the leather work and just overall style is perfect for those that love equestrian pursuits. I know that Justice a good friend has been looking for a true riding boot for a long time, so she will be stoked I am sure. Make sure you gallop on over to shoe fair :)

I was having a ball running around the grid today with Mel and Whimsy. Mel decided to embarass me in open chat because he kind of forgot that there were people under us, lol. Now I am standing in a cave with two fabulous women as they discuss the new breedable Dragons that just opened Beta at Precious Dragons – I wonder if they eat bunnies?

So I went running around Shoe Fair again today, and could not resist the new Shiny Things shoes….especially in the black and white. I wanted to show that they are so versatile, not only in a funky and fun look on the left, but also the more sedate look on the right.

Another place I had to drag Whimsy to today, was The Body Politik as it is soon closing down for an exciting new rebrand, but with that going on, all of the items are on sale at fabulous prices. One of the awesome items I got last week when I was there is this incredible oversized hat, the suede hat is a must have, and fit beautifully over my new hair by KIN which is next door. If you go to TBP sim you need to check out all of the little stores of the build, because there are different departments all over the place.

Don’t forget that many of the items for sale at Shoe Fair are donating proceeds to Charity, so well worth a visit for that reason alone.

Holy Toledo – wonders if Toledo is more Holy than the rest of the U.S? anywho, so new hair is coming, and I have been chomping at the bit about it for weeks now. I wonder if you can guess who’s hair it is just by looking? and OMG Shoe Fair is just around the corner and right now I should be over there drooling, but I spent so long taking all these pics today, I totally lost track of the time. So much so that I got the dates wrong in my head.

Some not all the shoes in todays post are new, newish and older. First two are newish with the Wonder Shoes by Kalnins, again with  just the colours I needed for my post. These give the oppurtunity for all one colour straps or two tone, which works really well. Also included is black, which if memory serves me well I have never used on Kalnins in the past.

I would have to bet that many would agree,that Roslin teaching herself to make clothes in the past year was a much needed thing for our inventories. Especially as she has such a girly girl creative flow, it really does up the prettyness all over. The use of vintagey prints and soft fabrics, her dresses and swimsuits which I really really wish she would turn into a micro mini, are just beautiful, the swimsuit to me would also serve really well as a brushed velvet bodysuit, depending on what you did with it.

Are you in lust with the hair yet? the first three styles are Amanda 1, 2 and 3. If you haven’t guessed already, all of the hair today is LeLutka and about to be released shortly, hopefully tomorrow so you don’t kill me. Thora has been doing a reworking of how she does hair lately and the work has paid off, the styles are soft when needed and perfect for picture taking when the style is created for effect more than motion. That is what has always been so stand out about LeLutka hair, the tendency to lean both ways, working not only for the photographers hiding in us all, but also for those that just want wearable beautiful hair.

At last years Shoe Fair the very first store off the TP point for me was Ana Mations, and the items that jumped right out and grabbed me were the rollerskates. I remember a few familiar faces all piled into the store that night, and I spent the rest of my time rollerskating around.

Now even though Anamations is an animations store, the skates do have their own tricks etc, but I went with the poses from aDORKable, who also have some great poses available at the fair this year. The chance to have such fun again came about because of the recent release of the roller rompers by BOOM. How fantastically 70′s are they, with of course a more modern twist, that being less fabric across the bum lol. Also from BOOM are the very cool tube socks and the rasta coloured sweat bands, to make it even more realistic I should have worn the sweat from Luck Inc, but I am saving that for another time.

This project theomary about to take place is Beach Bash, and BOOM has released the pretty bikini set for the event, not only do you get the string versions but also the halter and fuller bottoms….but wait there is more, you also get all of them available on Tattoo layers. Talk about above and beyond layering wise, and with the new added layers options that is just tooo cool.

If I was playing Family Feud and the question was ‘things you do in a sexy bikini’ I am so sure Hula Hooping would come up. So on that note the recent Hula Hooping Poses by !Bang worked out just right. For this set you get the pose and the prop – hoop – that has a texture change script built in, so that was handy to match up to my kini. Also matchy matchy due to the fabulous minds and scripterroos of SL, the latest Espadrilles by GOS are awesome. I really am happy that not only can you change the colours of the shoes with the menus once you add the new texture pack thing, but you can also change in parts, so rather than go all teal or all sand, I was able to mix and match. Of course espadrilles are a must have for summer, and these ones are fab.

Lastly a little bit mixy matchy with the Luck Inc and BOOM. The bags are great, fantastic texture options, with scripts to change the handles and my favourite part is scripted to change size, now I prefer mod, but if no mod then this is wonderful for bags, because sometimes you want a huge oversized, and other times maybe just a carryon. The hair in this pic is Lake, gorgeous do, and so incredibly spot on if you know the inspriation. A lot of the new LeLutka hairstyles have been inspired by amazing women of the silver screen. Veronica Lake is of course the inspiration for this one, and I think personally Thora nailed it.

The Enya boots by Kookie are the latest release at Shoe Fair, and they are wicked clompy. I almost went stormtrooper with them. But decided to keep going where I was headed as they worked that way too. Next time I will have to kick some bum with them on.

The skin I am wearing is from Sn@tch and for the next few days they are having a huge sale, which includes the gorgeous skins. I had to get the pack of these, and the make ups are just stunning. As you will notice on the right I am a different tone, that is due to Luck Inc’s skin burner. I thought I had seen it all when it came to enhancements but this one takes the cake. Only 1L in the Main store, this is a tattoo layer only and you wear it over your skin and voila new tone. For those that love a darker tone, this is a major bonus, and will probably save people a fortune.

Have a great weekend everyone, and do not forget Shoe Fair starts tomorrow.
