Look No. 182: My Sweater Obsession

It's too cold for you here

So now just let me hold both your hands

In the holes of my sweater.

~ The Neighborhood ~

Hello again! Today I am going to show you a fantastic new sweater dress from Toxic Candy Couture and sexy new boots from Blasphemic.

I love sweater dresses because they are so versatile because not only can you wear them as a dress, but you can wear them as a top with pants. This one by Toxic Candy Couture is 100 percent mesh and comes in 5 standard mesh sizes. It worked fabulously with my Maitreya mesh body.

Including the one I'm wearing in the first photograph above, there are a total of six different color/patterns available for you to buy (the other 5 are shown in the photograph below).

The sweater dress pairs beautifully with Blasphemic's new overknee boots. It is also a great way to keep your legs warm if you don't feel like wearing pants.

In the first photograph above, I am wearing the purple boots. It's also available in red, pink, brown, white and black (as shown in the photo above). It comes packed with 5 sizes: Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique and all 3 Belleza shapes. FYI, the size for Maitreya Lara will fit classic avatars as well.

The skin I'm wearing is by Lumae called Adore-Petals. If you like this skin, you can pick it up at the main store for 75 Lindens. It comes with appliers for Maitreya, Belleza, TMP, Slink and Omega body appliers; plus, Lelutka, TMP, Visage, Omega head appliers. For those of you who use Loudmouth, it comes with an applier for that as well. It's available in 8 shades: pearl, satin, rosy, peach, amber, cinnamon, pecan and sable. There is a free demo available for you to try on. The stand for this particular skin is right in the front entrance as you walk into the main doors.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No 173: Crisp Air, Falling Leaves And A Comfy Sweaters

"Each leaf plays a note in the symphony of autumn."

~ Pepper Blair ~

Hello again! Within a few weeks, most of us will start feeling the crisp air of autumn; who knows, maybe some of you are feeling it now. So in this post I'm going to bring you a couple clothing items from Toxic Candy Couture that just might keep you warm for when that day comes...if it hasn't arrived already.

The wool sweater I'm wearing in this post is called Svea. It is mesh and comes packaged in 5 standard mesh sizes. It does works wonderfully with my Maitreya Lara Mesh Body.

If the color I'm wearing in this post is not your cup of tea, don't fear....it's available in 9 other beautiful colors (as shown below).

The jeans I'm wearing is called Perrie. This is also mesh and is packaged with 5 standard mesh sizes. Because the pants fall low on the foot, it works best with flat feet. This also worked great with my Maitreya Lara Mesh Body. It's available in 3 other colors as well as the black pair that I'm wearing (as shown below).

The shoe I'm wearing are the female version Wyn Punk Trainers by MODA Designs. I say the "female version" because MODA also came out with a version for men.

The photo above is the actual ad by MODA. I'm using the ad so you can get a clear picture of exactly what the shoe looks like because the jeans I'm wearing actually covers most of it. As you can see from the ad, you'll need flat feet (feet sold separately) and it comes with MODA's trademark 30-color/texture HUD so you can mix and match colors/metals to your hearts desire. There is a demo available for a cost of 1 Linden. I highly recommend you try it on prior to purchasing the actual shoe to ensure a great fit.

Finally, the eyes I'm wearing are the latest release by Ikon called Triumph Eyes. If you decide to buy these eyes, you'll find out that they come packaged with both system and mesh eyes. It will also come with a HUD for the mesh eyes that will allow you to choose from regular or dark sclera (eye whites) textures and add fun FX like glow, full bright and flip. They are available in 42 gorgeous colors.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 151: I Like It Better If My Jeans Are Ripped Up

"I don't care about my makeup...I like it better if my jeans are ripped up."

~ Unknown ~

Hello again! Today I want to show you a new release by Toxic Candy Couture. The Corail Ripped Jeans are a sexy, hip-hugging, mesh jeans that come packaged with five standard mesh sizes and are available in four different color/patterns. Because of the tears in the jeans, they are best worn with the default body. You can purchase them on Toxic Candy Couture's Marketplace store; however, you will get a discount if you purchase them from the main store.

For the last week and a half, I have been promoting Ikon's new Odyssey Eyes that are being sold exclusively at The Mens Dept until June 30th. They are available in 49 delicious colors and in today's post I am wearing the color called Chocolate. When you purchase a set of these eyes, you will get both mesh and regular eyes. There is a HUD for the mesh set that will allow you to choose from regular or dark sclera (eye whites) textures and add fun FX like Glow, Full Bright and Flip. If you can't make it to this months round of The Mens Dept, don't fear, the eyes will be sold at Ikon's main store starting July 1st.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 133: Focus On The Woman

"I want people to see the dress but focus on the woman."

~ Vera Wang ~

Hello again! New from Toxic Candy Couture is a really amazing dress called Nat. It's a mesh mini dress, with a cutout around the waistline and a large gold buckle holding the top and skirt together at the front.  It comes packaged with five standard mesh sizes and is available in three colors (as shown below) which are all sold separately. This dress can be worn with your favorite heels or booties...or, if you want to give it a retro feel, you may want to try a simple pair of black or white, calf-high leather or suede boots. I did attempt to wear this dress with my Maitreya mesh body but the alpha cuts in the upper thigh area were a bit to big to hide around the hemline. I'm sure many of you are very clever in getting mesh to fit your body into mesh clothing and probably will be able to make it work. These dresses are all available for purchase at Toxic Candy Couture's Marketplace store; however, if you purchase it at the main store, you will purchase it at a discount.

Finally, in yesterday's post, I introduced the new Odyssey Eyes by Ikon and they are just amazing. In this post I'm wearing another color of those eyes called Storm. They are available in 49 gorgeous colors. With each set you purchase, you will will receive five iris sizes in both regular and mesh. It comes with a HUD that allows you to choose from regular or dark sclera (eyewhites) textures and you can add fun FX to play with like Glow, Full Bright and Flip. Right now you can pick them up at The Mens Dept until June 30th; after that, you can go to Ikon's main store to purchase them.

Until next time...happy shopping!

I Love My Jeans But I Love My Dresses Too

"I'm a jeans and a T-shirt kind of girl, but I go classy when I dress up with a little bit of sexy."

~ Adrianne Palicki ~

Hello again! Before I begin this post, I just want to apologize for being somewhat absent this past week, it's been a busy week for me and needed time to take care of those things. Now, back to business...

In today's post, I bring you a couple new releases from Toxic Candy Couture: a beautiful dress and a cool pair of jeans. Both items can be purchased on Toxic Candy's Marketplace store but please keep in mind, if you purchase either item at the main store, you will purchase them at a discount.

Before I close, Sugarush Skins has come out with another gorgeous skin called Edda. The skin is available in five tones: apricot, neutral, medium, beige and bronze. Each tone has six makeup options with a now brow option for all six. You can purchase appliers for the Maitreya and Lena mesh bodies as well as Slink hands and feet. Please be sure to visit Sugarush's main store and join their group. If you can't get in-world, you can visit their store blog or Marketplace store.

Until next time...happy shopping!

It is available in five standard sizes and available in four different patterns (see photographs below). The bonus...a pair of strappy wedges (for Slink High Feet only) comes with each dress. For those of you who have mesh bodies, I am wearing this dress with my Maitreya mesh body in the photos below.

It's All About The Shorts

"Fashion is instant language."

~ Miuccia Prada ~

Hello again! Today I'm back with a couple of awesome shorts outfits from Toxic Candy Couture. What I like about today's post is I have something for those of you who like the more Kawaii style and something for those of you who don't. Personally, I love both outfits and would wear both of them.

They are both available on Toxic Candy Couture's Marketplace store; however, if you purchase them from the main store, you will receive a discount.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 109: Stanis Strapless Romper Shorts

For those of you who like/love Kawaii, you will love this mesh romper. It comes packaged with 5 sizes and a pretty black floppy hat. I am not wearing the hat in any of my photos because I don't really wear hats that don't come with hair. (I'm OCD and it bothers me when i see hair sticking out of hats and I have never been good at fixing that issue.) If you have a mesh body...yes, you should be able to wear it. In the photos below, I am wearing it with my Maitreya mesh body. The romper is available in 3 other color combinations and I have provided photos of those additional colors below.

If you like that sandals I'm wearing, they are also from Toxic Candy Couture. The are made for Slink flat feet only and available in several colors.

Other color options for the Stanis Strapless Romper Shorts available for purchase.

The Benedicte is a mesh jumpsuit that comes packaged with five sizes and available in nine beautiful colors (see photograph below).
