Second Life™, New Stuff


Keeping it Simple And Sophisticated



The Goods:


Head / CATWA - Catya
Body / Maitreya Mesh Body - Lara
Hair / DOUX - Galvez Hairstyle, Black Friday
Eyes / {S0NG -Miley, Earth Eye
Skin / Mudskin, they all look great
Blush / Izzie's - Catwa - Applier Aegyo Sal

Top / Dead Dollz - Mila Sweater - Black, found at the Uber Event
Shorts / Dead Dollz - Mila Shorts - Mustard, found at the Uber Event
Tights - C'est la vie, Inga leggings, Nov 29. 50L$ Friday
Socks / not so bad, RAY socks - Thes socks came with a pair of boots but I decided they worked well with these boots too. Look for the Ranger Boots.
Boots / REIGN, Maizey Shearling Boots


So What do I think of it all?


Head and shape - Gosh I've always thought they were ok until the Genus peer pressure thing set in. I mean, is my baby face too much? In real life, I have a babyface, so I didn't think anything about looking like that in SL. I love listening to Naria Panther's blogs, but she calls it a baby girl look and complains about short people like me 😔. I use Firestorm. Just right-click yourself and click appearance, then click on edit shape...    in the upper right-hand corner, it tells me I'm 5'2" feet or 1.59 meters. 



Skin, Blush, and Eyes - Mudskin is my go-to skin and maybe THAT's what really makes the face so young looking. Izzie's blush is perfect. I have tried this blush on Genus but clearly, I don't have full control of my HUD enough to pull off the genus version of this product. The eyes are one of the best S0ng has put out in a while and I love them.

Top shorts and hair - Sophisticated, preppy, and not a care in the world. The hair is sleek and fits closely. I'm wearing a large because of my round baby girl head (see above). Currently, this is my favorite hair. The top and shorts are beautifully textured and wish I could have gotten the fat packs.








Tights, socks, and boots - I never turn down a set of well-textured tights and this was no exception. There were 5 or 6 in the pack and the pack was on sale for $50L Friday a few weeks back. I felt the black REIGN boots just needed some transition leading up to the tights, so I pulled out my new Ranger boots from not so bad and just put on the socks.



Snowman Buddy - I ran across this simple little snowman Gocha at Uber. When I realized it was animesh, I knew every single little guy in the machine was a winner.... you betcha I pulled, got a common and I think he's adorable.

New Second Life™ Items From Zenith, Blueberry and DOUX



This adorable little sweater coat outfit is from Zenith and is made for
Maitreya/Legacy. It can currently be found at Kustom9

The Good:

  • The color!
  • A cozy look
  • comes with the bag, top, skirt AND sweater

The Oops:

  • I see a peek-a-boo flaw (clipping) near the neck. I'm wearing Maitreya and no, I didn't try on the demo. I'm lazy. I have oodles of stuff from Zenith and hoped for the best. I'll still wear and blog the outfit because I like it!



This cute little Connon Hairstyle is from DOUX
It can be found currently at Kustom9.

*I WAS a tad worried at first when I tried it on since it was no mod, but OMGOSH, the largest in the box fit! This was worrying because my head scale is set to a big fat zero.

Boots:


Yup - These are the Blueberry Power Play Boots. I got the fat pack and they are gorgeous. Texture, details and style, these boots have it all. They also come as ankle, knee, and thigh-high in the same package.

Second Life™ An Honest Review of Items From Mishmish, Pewpew!, 22769, Tentacio, Dust Bunny, Bonobo by Sallie, Izzie's, REIGN and barberyumyum


Reviewing some fall goodies!



My new favorite hair.

The Items:



Thought the table might help break it down.

Details About the Above Items:


The Grandpa Corduroy Pants and Cardi were paired together in the ad seen at Anthem, so I feel they were meant to be paired together. These two items were made by Bonobo by Sallie.

I absolutely love the country Dr. look of the outfit and it is also has a nice androgynous look when women wear it.

The textures are beautiful and the details spot on. I gave the pants a 5 and the cardigan a 3.


Great textures!


*** Oops - a teeny tiny clip at the collar.




*** Oops - When worn together, there is an overlap at the hip (and butt when walking)


What does this mean? It means if you have a bit of OCD, and the overlap bothers you, rethink pairing these two items. 


This little mouse made by Mishmish is worth hanging onto and was found at Kustom9


The handy little bat case is a new release from bonbon --  found at The Epiphany. I promised myself to only play ONCE, and this was my happy result.


*Oops - $175 for only one cup/color!?

I cringed hitting the pay button on this one. Pewpew!, it's so pretty .... and expensive. I bought it at Anthem


Housewares:





This little Autumn memory collection can be found at Tentacio.  It's free for group members! 

I have a dilemma, should free items be reviewed with a score? Let me know what you think. When your item is free, do you look at it carefully? Will the design of THAT individual free item affect how the consummer judges other items in the shop? 

Free items are reviewed in the real world. We review movies, food, make-up samples and all manner of things that may be free. Are SL free items to be reviewed by a different standard?

According to my sliding scale, 4 is a B. ARGGG..... I took off a point because it had so many prims.


Dust Bunny was clearly the winner of my wallet this past week.

The apothecary cabinet comes in at a low 6 prims.  Well worth a 5 point review.



Such detail!




I only found two items I just "had to have" at The Liaison Collaborative this go-round. Izzie's new eye release goodies and this pretty Autumn cage by 22769. Inside the cage is a candle that can be modded. How big a flame do YOU want?

Next, let's see the newest from Dust Bunny:




 It's cider time!


MAN, who do I need to know to get on Dust Bunny's blogger list!? This stuff is gorgeous. Look at the details above. My photos don't do this set justice. In fact, the dook is so detailed you can read the freakin' pages 💗.

Inside the cider pot, you can easily identify all the goodies needed to make cider. This whole set is OUTSTANDING. Head on over to Kustom9 and take a look!

The above details can change all the time in SL. For today, the above information is good.
