Birdy Skins for Chapter Four

I basically stopped doing full skin "reviews", because they take me FOREVER to finish. I am talking days! I have no idea why I am so slow. So, I am trying a new approach and am trying it again. My next couple of posts will be all about skin.
Speaking of skin... One of the newest skins that have really caught my attention, are Birdy Skins. nina Helix, the designer behind Birdy Skins, creates the most beautiful hand drawn skins. They have a lovely and soft ethereal feel to them, not unlike the skins from -tres blah-. Since the skin is hand drawn and not completely photo-sourced, you will find a few minor imperfections in some of the features. Personally, I find these small imperfections, the most charming part about these skins. Nina's skins are also extremely affordable. In fact, I think she needs to charge more for these high quality creations. For this round of Chapter Four, you can find her new "Ingrid" skin for just 99L per make-up!

There are a total of 4 make-ups , which come in her 'pure' skin tone, that come with several options. Each make-up has 3 different types of shading embedded into the skin - Dew, Matte and Regular. There are also 5 brow options that are embedded into the skin - Bare, Blonde, Brown, Red and Black. There is a gloss tattoo as well.

I highly recommend going over to Chapter Four and demoing this skin. I also suggest checking out Nina's Birdy Skins Mainstore too. 

I am so happy that Kavar Cleanslate of Exile is releasing ahir again! He has definitely been missed. This month, he is participating in 3 different events with a gorgeous exclusive style for each. In the above pics, I am wearing his FaMESHed exclusive, called "Where We Belong". It is a fabulous side bun/ponytail hybrid with long wavy locks. A definite MUST have!

Because I was barely here for August, I did not get a chance to blog Daphne Klossovsky's (of HANDverk), "Zelda Necklace and Earrings". They were an August Collabor88 Exclusive, but they are available in the HANDverk Mainstore now. Daphne has an amazing eye for detail and creates the most brilliant pieces. I aimpley adore this art deco inspired set, which is available incomes in a ton of colors.

So with that said, here are your credits and LMs, so you can go DEMO and BUY!

Still Thinking About A Title...

I was feeling quite fluish the last few days, so it felt like forever since I had posted. Even if I only take a couple days off from SL, there is always so much stuff that has happened in my absence. Marry Lemur of Overhigh is always creating and releasing so many wonderful items. I have no idea how she manages to come up with so many gorgeous designs so quickly, but she does! I seriously love all her latest releases, so it is impossible to choose just one favorite. However, for this post, I chose her new 'Bob' dress.

 I was really drawn to it's chic geometrical print, which is mixed with a relaxed and sexy diaphanous texture.  It just screams Summer, even though it almost Fall. But, I refuse to submit to Autumn clothes just yet!

As for accessories, I added some bold and gold new statement pieces from LaGyo's new Summer Collection. Gyo's new collection is to DIE for! So, do yourself a favor and check it out ASAP. It is located in a Safari-like tent in front of the LaGyo Mainstore. 

I also could not resist this new 'Lion Tail Necklace' from Daphne Klossovsky of HANDverk! Actually, I think it was released a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, I had been experiencing a lot trouble with my inventory and had been missing a lot of items - including this one. I just finally sorted the problem out (literally) and found this stunning necklace that Daphne had released for this round of the Zodiac. I am always amazed at her eye for detail. This is another MUST have!

Ok, I am really EXCITED about these last two items! One of these items are the new Slink feet appliers from -Belleza- ! FINALLY! I have been waiting and waiting for -Belleza- to release their Slink appliers for feet! They had already released their hand appliers, so it just made me that much more impatient. I am addicted to appliers for Slink's mesh feet and hands. I was completely at a loss, since I wear -Belleza-  skin all the time. Anyway, they are beautiful and well worth the wait! Shyla Diggs did an extraordinary job with the texturing! They are in the -Belleza- Mainstore now, so go grab them!

OMG! And these shoes are just too fabulous words! Jin Elfan of Leverocci outdid herself again! These super luxurious 'Satin Wrap Heels' are not only beautiful, but designed to be worn with Slink's medium height mesh feet - which is another aspect about these shoes that I adore. As long as I have applier's from my favorite skin designers, I am set! No more fussing for hours, while trying to match my feet to my skin. I also can not get over how perfectly rendered these shoes are! They are available in a ton of colors and also a plastic version too. You HAVE to try these shoes on right NOW! You will not want to take them off! 

OK, I know I am babbling and probably not making much sense at this point, so I will give you the credits and the LMs:

Last Hours For Hair Fair 2013 with Slink Hair!

Siddean Munro of Slink, not always makes amazing mesh shoes, hands, feet and clothes, but she makes gorgeous mesh hair too! I was pleasantly surprised to see that she was participating in this year's Hair Fair. She created four gorgeous hair styles for Hair Fair 2013. However, I am only showing 3 of the styles, because I forgot to check one of the images after snapping it. Unfortunately, it was beyond PS re-touching. So, since I am running out of time, I hope the three styles will do, since they are fabulous!

So, what are your waiting for? Get over to Slink Hair at Hair Fair 2013 and try on these demos now! Btw, Today  is 'Bandanna Day'! So, give your mesh hair a break and rock a bandanna! Or just go sans hair. However, if you buy a bandanna at Hair Fair 2013 , 100% of all bandanna sales, go to Wigs for Kids. Wigs for Kids is a very special and favored charity of mine. It provides children, who are already having a tough time fighting cancer, regain some of their self-esteem from hair loss.

Divinity!

I guess this a 'Look of The Day', which was inspired by Amberly Boccaccio's (of Glam Affair) new mesh 'Divinity Headpiece'. The piece is beautifully made and reminds of something that would adorn the head of a geisha or even the halo over a Saint's head. Either way, it is lovely. You can find it at the latest cycle of L’Accessories. I decided to go with a more Eastern theme for my post. I had this gorgeous mesh 'Ariana' dress from Kunglers. It is has this amazing crocodile skin type texture. Plus, I loved the clean simple lines. I needed a gorgeous light skin, so I chose aida Ewing's  (of Glam Affair) latest 'Laurel' skin. 'Laurel' is an exclusive mini-release, which you can find at this cycle of Collabor88, Aida's skins are always stunning, so of course this one is as well! 'Laurel' comes in 4 amazing make-ups and is a definite MUST have for your skin wardrobe. So, with that said, here are your LMs:

I heard you never get wet in Spanish rain...

So, I am trying like mad to catch-up. LOL. I mean, what is new? As usual, for this cycle of FaMESHed there are soooooo many amazing creations to be found. I am wearing this uber cute striped dress from NyuNyu Kimono of Nyu. I love the chic simple lines that are decorated with horizontal stripes. NyuNyu's mesh and textures are always so lovely.

HANDverk also released these super sleek Shell Chairs. I think they definitely go with this mod theme that I am trying to achieve. I really adore HANDverk's originality and not to mention their extraordinary talent for creating mesh designs. So, please make sure you stop by the current cycle of FaMESHed and pick-up some awesome creations. 

Oh! I almost forgot to add that Izzie Button has just released another gorgeous new skin, called "Harlow" (hmmm...I wonder who that is named after?). As usual, Izzie's skin is flawless and beautiful. You get so many tattoo options with each base skin tone, which include: make-up layers, cleavage layers, freckle options and gloves for her prim nails. I am sure I forgot something, since Izzie always thinks of EVERYTHING! Plus, her skin is very inexpensive for all the options you get and also the amazing quality. With that said, here are your LMs:

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:
