Boob Envy!

Hell must have finally froze over, because I actually got a pair of mesh breasts! I had always been happy with my small default breasts and saw no need for a pair of huge mesh ones. I don't know if it was all the boob blog coverage or all the appliers being made by various designers, but the hype finally got to me and I needed a pair. Once I decided to take plunge (no pun intended), I had to decide what kind of mesh boobs to get. I know there are many different makes of these attachments, but the two mainstream brands are Lush and Lolas (as far as I know). I was tempted to get the Lolas, but there was not a demo available and I heard that you can not make them too small without corrupting the overall shape. Not to mention, they are not cheap and I really did not want to invest in something that I wasn't sure I would wear. The Lush, however, do have a demo and are about 700L cheaper. Just so you know, cost is not an issue when it comes it quality. The fact that you could make the Lush significantly smaller and also had a demo to play around with, had sold me. I really feel the Lush mesh breasts are made for those of us who like smaller breasts. If you prefer bigger breasts, then the Lolas are probably just what you need.
I have to mention a few things for you to keep in mind before purchasing mesh breasts. First off, due to an SL mesh bug, you will most likely see some seams from where the mesh breasts attach to your default pair. Unfortunately, unlike other mesh bodily attachments, you can not put on an alpha layer around your default breasts to hide them. Also, the smaller you make your breasts, the harder it is for the mesh to blend in with your avatar. I am sure that when a mesh deformer becomes available, this issue will be solved. So, until then, I recommend using a neutral WL, such as CalWL. If you turn-off basic shaders, you won't see any seams at all, but you will be stuck SL's basic windlight. If you are a photographer like me, you can play around with different windlights and shadow settings, until the seams disappear. FYI: The seam issue is NOT the fault of the designers who created the appliers or the mesh breasts!
Secondly, when fitting my Lush breasts, I noticed that certain shape adjustments improved the overall look and fit of the breasts. Depending on your shape, I would make your overall 'Breast Size' between 10-20 points on the slider (I set mine at 10). I would set the 'Breast Buoyancy' around 35-45 points (I set mine at 39). And, I found a setting of 0-10 points to be perfect for the 'Breast Cleavage'(I set mine at 5).
Now that you have your breasts all in place, you will want to add the skin and/or nipple 'applier' that is made for the skin you are wearing. As of right now, the only skin creators, who I know of that make appliers for Lush, are -Belleza- and [PXL Creations]. I am praying that -Glam Affair- comes out with one for Lush too! I guess until then, I will have to match their color myself. Both appliers are made beautifully and match their skins perfectly (as you will see in the pictures). Not only do [PXL] and -Belleza- have a skin appliers, but they come with nipple appliers with 3 nipple choices as well.
The [PXL] appliers come with 2 shading options. One normal and one push-up. The nipple appliers come with 3 different nipple sizes (small, medium and big). They are very easy to apply. You just select the texture, right click and add. You do this for the texture and for the nipple of your choice.
The -Belleza- appliers come with one shading option and a tattoo layer (as well as shirt layers) to help blend the texture to the mesh breasts. The texture and nipple applier (there are 3 different natural nipple looks to chose from) come in an easy to use HUD. Just click and go!
 I guess you will be able to see more about both creator's appliers, and the Lush mesh breasts, in following pics. I must warn you though, I did touch-up the images in Photoshop, in order to conceal the seams. Like I mentioned earlier, you really have to work with a neutral windlight in order to avoid this noticeable glitch. I also recommend checking-out the the demo thoroughly.
When you get the demo, take the time to adjust you avatars's shape, in order to fit the mesh breast. You also want to go into edit mode and find the right height for them. After that, use the built in re-sizer script, so you can find the most comfortable size for your taste. And then, I suggest testing different lighting. You will probably have to re-adjust the size and fit of your mesh breasts, as you go bigger or smaller. So, with that said, here are your LMs:

Lush

-Belleza-
Lolas

Btw, Strawberry Singh wrote an excellent post about mesh breasts and Lolas. I really feel it is definitely worth reading to give you some more insight that I may have left out. Here is the link: http://strawberrysingh.com/2013/01/08/mesh-breasts/

The Glamorous Life


The -Glam Affair- Team (aida Ewing, M4ri1yn Magic and Amberly Boccaccio) never seems to stop producing amazing creations. Not only do they create some of the best skins on the grid, but they also have been releasing stunning accessories, clothes and mesh make-ups. For the current cycle of Collabor88, aida Ewing created an beautiful edition of her 'Renee' skin, called 'Trending'. I love the subtle tones and luminous complexion. I also hope aida releases a whole line of this skin as well. M4ri1yn Magic designed a simple, yet very sexy mesh dress, called 'Livia'. I love the high collar that cuts diagonally across the torso, leaving the dress backless with just enough skin to leave some to the imagination. Amberly Boccaccio has been creating so many lovely mesh accessories lately. Her stunning headpieces are prime example of such work. For Collabor88, she constructed the delicate 'Hanami Headpiece'. I just adore the the delicate mesh cherry blossoms that fall across my head. What makes all of these incredible designs even more special, is that they all can be found at the January cycle of Collabor88! So, go check them out them NOW! Here is your LM:

Last Day for January Cycle of FaMESHed

The January cycle of FaMESHed is sadly coming to an end. As always, there are so many AMAZING original mesh creations to be found there. The fact that FaMESHed showcases all original (ie, no templates) mesh content, is one the main reasons that I really love this event. I think it is very important to focus on all of these talented designers, who have worked so hard to bring us some of best mesh creations in SL.
Hmmm, so where do I start? E! Eclectic Apparel! E! has come such a LONG way in the ranks of SL fashion. Their design team makes beautifully rendered mesh and pays a lot of attention to detail.  Each collection gets better and better with every release. In the following pictures, I am wearing their awesome 'Xanna' pants. They are perfect for any casual (but still chic) look. They also created a 'Libby' top to go with these pants. I was going to wear it for this post, but in the middle of a styling crisis, I found something I else I wanted to wear the top with. I really love mixing matching. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and was not able to take pics of it of yet. However, the 'Libby' top will be available in E! Mainstore, after FaMESHed ends. So, stay tuned for an upcoming post with that top. It is seriously cute!
NyuNyu Kimono of Nyu, is also another FaMESHed regular. I have come to love her sleek lines and minimalist approach to designing. Her clothes are always perfect for a more sophisticated look. Her 'Button Back Shirt', is a prime example of her gorgeous creations. I paired her dress with the super sexy new 'Spiked' pumps from FANATIK, which can also be found out at FaMESHed. They come in a TON of different colors and you can choose from silver or gold spikes (via a texture change HUD).
I decided to add a some of my latest favorite releases into the mix of my looks, even though they are not available FaMESHed. So, with that said, RUN over to FaMESHed and pick-up some of the fabulous designs there, before it is over! Here is your LM:

TONI

I am always really excited when Mimikri Kit, of Mimikri Hot Couture, releases a new creation. Her designs are always unique and completely original. Mimi not only creates her own amazing textures, but she makes her own high quality mesh as well. Unfortunately  such talents are becoming much more rare in SL. There are very few designers who do this. At least 80 percent of SL's fashion content are made from templates. Now, there is nothing wrong with templates. However, there is something really to be said about designers whose content is completely their own.
'TONI' is Mimi's latest ensemble and consists of a gorgeous highly detailed mini-skirt; a stunning striped sweater; and an adorable chunky vest. Each item is made up of rigged mesh and are sold separately. This is a really nice option, since you can mix and match different color combinations. In fact, Mimi does this with all of her releases. I highly encourage you to take a look at her most recent collections and try on some demos. If you want something beautifully made and all original, Mimikri always has something to offer. Here is you LM:

Feeling Adrift


Hmm.... Where do I start? This look is not just a look. I have included a bit of home decor, as well as some new fashion pieces. This cycle of Collabor88 has so many wonderful things available. One of my favorite creations has to be the Cheeky Pea 'Ansel Living Room' set. Isla Gealach always manages to create some of the best detailed mesh furniture on the grid. I love her classic, yet still comfy, approach to home decor. Not to mention, she provides so many amazing animations in her sofas and chairs. You can even choose a 'PG' version of animations or an 'adult' version. I am sure I do not have to explain the difference to you. But, if you are curious, I suggest to check them out for yourself. LOL.
Kallisto Destiny, who I have always known as one of SL's most talented photographers/ bloggers, has been making quite a name for herself as designer too! Her brand called DRIFT, just released a pair of super chic and casual 'City Pants'. These loose linen textured pants, come with a bow adorned belt. You can change the color of the belt of too, via texture change HUD. These pants are definite MUST for more casual looks.
Truth Hawks, once again, released 3 fabulous new hair styles this week! I am particularly in love with his new braided style, called 'Lavinia'. Please make sure you hurry over to TRUTH and check-out all his amazing new releases and show him some love! Here are all your LMs:

All About AVA


Tricky Boucher of -Belleza- , has released yet another gorgeous skin! She is called, "AVA". I have always adored all of his skins, but AVA has to be Tricky's best creation yet! You can tell by the distinct detailing on her lips, eyes and body definition, that his technique has really evolved. Not that his skills needed improving (not in the least), but a true artist always seeks ways to transform and reinvent oneself.
AVA comes in 16 stunning make-ups and 6 skin tones. Each skin comes with:  a blonde and red brow option (except the mocha tone, which only includes a dark brow); a blonde, brown and red hair base (tattoo layer); a cleavage (tattoo layer); gloss, matte and strong gloss lipsticks (tattoo layers). If you buy the whole skin tone 'bundle', you get a bonus pack of 33 lipsticks (tattoo layers). These include: 11 gloss lipsticks, 11 matte lipsticks and 11 strong gloss lipsticks. If you buy a single make-up, you can purchase the extra lipsticks separately for your choice of skin tone. Let me just tell you, these lipsticks are gorgeous and were created by Shyla Diggs. She did an outstanding job and they give the skin much more wear and beauty for the money. So, what are you waiting for? Try on a demo NOW. here is your LM:

Wow! I am on a ROLL! Two posts in two days! I am going to try for three, but I will not promise anything. It always seems when things are finally going smoothly, a huge bump in the road in the road appears and throws me way off course. For this post, I wore a color I never thought I would ever wear - PINK! Except for lingerie and sleepwear, I never wear pink. Not even  in SL. However, the uber talented Nevery Lorakeet (of *LpD*) just released this gorgeous mesh *LIV* coat. It comes in many wonderful color combinations, including black (my favorite color...errr shade), but the I really loved the pink. Nevery is always designing such amazing original creations. You really MUST stop by her store, *Les Petite Details* and take a look around. She has a little bit of everything, which ranges from casual and comfy to haute couture. Here is your LM:

This Is The Strangest Life I've Ever Known


The team over at -Glam Affair- has been very busy lately! Not only have they been creating amazing skins (as usual), but they have also been making beautiful mesh accessories. They have a whole new line of stunning headdresses, bags, masks and mesh eye make-ups. If you are in need of some drama (the good kind) to enhance your avatar, you will find some very inspiring designs at -Glam Affair-. Speaking of being inspired, the exclusive 'Petal' edition of the 'Amberly' skin line, is seriously gorgeous. It is a collaboration between the skin making goddess, aida Ewing, and the very talented Soleil Reid of{Dead Apples}. aida created the base skins and Soleil created the brilliant make-ups. I was really drawn to the 'Edward' make-up of 'Amberly Petal'. So, I paired it with one of the new 'Zoya Headdresses', which was created by Amberly Boccaccio. Suffice it to say, it made for quite a dramatic a look and is also my inspiration for the day. Please do yourself a favor and check-out all the awesome new releases at -Glam Affair-.

In a Beatiful World

The weather may always be delightful in SL, even when it appears to full of snow and freezing, but I can not say the same for NY. It snowed once again last night and it has been quite chilly. The night before, my furnace decided to break and I cannot begin to tell you just how COLD my home was! Thankfully, they were able to fix it yesterday. To be honest, I really have no place to complain about this happening. Many of my neighbors in Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey, did not have any heat or power for weeks! This obviously occurred when Superstorm Sandy decided to wreak havoc all over the Eastern Seaboard. Knowing what all these people had to deal with, I feel like a spoiled brat if I whine about this. It still sucked, non-the-less.
I had wanted to create this post yesterday, but my hands were too cold type or edit. LOL. FYI: It is very difficult to edit via touch pad in gloves. I decided to create a not-so-new post. This last year had been very crazy for me and I had not been able to blog many of the creations I planned on posting. So, I am hoping to catch-up on a lot of posts, since my computer is running super fast again and my major viewer issues have been fixed. Yay! So, please take a look at the images and a credits.

Melancholia


The dark days of Winter are here and I am already dreaming of Spring. I know that in a blink of  an eye, the warmer weather will be here and half of another year has past. I often find myself thinking of when I was an adolescent. Time seemed to move at a snails pace, while anticipating life as an adult. Well, be careful for you wish for. By the time I fully emerged into an genuine responsible adult, time went by so fast. Ten years gone and where did it all go? I apologize for the somber mood of this post, but this has been on my mind.
In more uplifting news, I have some amazing new releases to show you. Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice, created a fabulous dual colored mesh dress called 'Monique'. There is also a stunning new hairstyle from Kavar Cleanslate of ::Exile::, which is called 'I Will Wait'. Both of these creations are FaMESHed exclusives, so I highly suggest that you check-out the new cycle for January. There is also a new round of Collabor88 and theme is called 'Trending'. Think of golds, silvers, coppers, greens and plums. For this post, I am featuring gorgeous Collabor88 exclusives from LaGyo and -Glam Affair-. There is a awesome military inspired beret and belt that was created by Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo. The  mesh details of both these pieces are absolutely awe inspiring! aida Ewing of -Glam Affair-, decided to tease us again with the 'Trending' edition of her 'Renee' skin. I really hope she releases a full line of 'Renee', because I absolutely adore this skin. So, with that said, here are your limos:
