It's Mesh Tuesday - NYU

I just decided that from now on, every Tuesday will be a Mesh clothing day.  I tend to shy away from Mesh clothing in general and some other day I'll talk about why, but instead, I'll pass on.

I took a friend of mine to FaMeshed. He's a he so not so much with the enthusiasm for the clothes but he did enjoy the other things on offer this time around. I will link here to the SeraphimSL post for FaMeshed this round since I think that's the easiest possible way of seeing what's there before you go to the event.

You have until around the 28th or so of the month to visit FaMeshed, after that point, I believe they close to prepare for the next round.

 

My outfit is made up of separates from a shop called NYU.  The Cropped Tee and Flared Pants both are items from FaMeshed as above. I bought them in Green. I'm on a bit of a green kick right now.

The hair I'm wearing is from Wasabi Pills and is called Sandy. It's also a FaMeshed item and although I usually wear the Rye or Seafoam blonds, today I'm wearing the slightly darker golden tone. I thought it was perfect for a casual possibly business with pleasure look which is what the outfit itself makes me think of.

 

My necklace is yet another FaMeshed item from Maxi Gossamer - the Love Catcher Heart Long necklace. I thought the gold and the black of the necklace went very well with this sort of soothing shade of green. The necklace doesn't overpower the simplicity of the clothing items and I liked that a lot. The necklace (also in a short version) and the included earrings are also texture change, for metals and for the bead colors.

My bangles are not from FaMeshed, they are from  Baby Monkey. This shop sells lovely shoes, boots, clothing and accessories and is currently offering new release items at half off the extremely reasonable opening price to group members. There is a hud that comes with these bangles and you get a choice of 32 colors. Gold only at this point though. At any rate, the usual price would be 150 Lindens but I bought them for 75L and I think they are still available to group members at that price. Group membership is 250L I think, but the owner is planning a free membership weekend in April.

 

 

I'm back to my favorite Lara Hurley skin, Evon in Pale - Green, the fatpack comes with all appliers. I added eyeliner from adored  - metallic eyeliner - green - which I purchased at the Whore Couture Fair.

I'm wearing lipstick from Aeva (I believe the store name is Lumae now but I think the owner is keeping the two store lines separate? so better to check Aeva for this lipstick) It's from the neutrals gloss collection and is called Praline. It's a brownish color and I then put my favorite Pink Fuel lipgloss over it, the Pout pinks collection in nude pink (50%) and I love the result.

 

I'm wearing Slink High feet and the new-ish Jacmel add on pumps from Hucci. I bought the whole Prime collection and am thinking of going back for the other two sets. 

Here's a little detail pic of the shoes and bangles I'm wearing.

I'm wearing one Casual Slink hand and one Flat Slink hand, I think this is the Casual hand, lol. Still have  on the Xtreme Metallics Nail polish from Pekka that I had on yesterday. Love these, wish she'd do another set. :)

If It's Not One Thing - It's Another...

The last few days have made me feel as if I've been through the ringer. and that's why there's been no update til now. My laptop came with both the Intel integrated graphics AND an nvidia graphics card, and this computer was purchased specifically for using with second life. Unfortunately, the nvidia card doesn't seem to be working any more. I was hoping I could just replace the card, but that looks like to be more of a problem to do than I had hoped. I have a desktop that needs some repairs so I'm going to hopefully get that one repaired and use that for sl so as not to burn out the integrated graphics on my laptop and turn it into an expensive and ugly paperweight.

Meanwhile... well here's some fashiony stuff.

 

Here's me staring at you all from out my new eyes from Ikon. 

I've been a fan of Ikon almost since he opened and I really like these Promise eyes which are mesh and come with a hud for adjusting size and position. These are the color called "Glass".

 

 

Couple shots of the full look. Please excuse the pixelation etc, since as I said I'm having problems with my comp at the moment and that's not helping my snapshots look good.

My Latest Craze - Piercings...

One of the many things I enjoy about Second Life is the opportunity to "Try on For Size" different concepts, body modifications, life styles even that I might not want to try in First Life.

For a long time I've been curious about different types of piercings in SL but other than earrings and a belly ring I'd pretty much stayed with just curious.

But recently a brand called "Cute Poison" has really caught my eye because their piercings are cute, well done, modifiable, and come with a texture change hud that you can use to change the various parts of the piercing group to match your mood or outfit.

So, I've found two piercings that I plan to be wearing a lot from this brand, well three really but I'm only showing two.

The Stellar Piercing combines a sort of bindi type center star and stud arrangement with pretty studs and stars around the eyes. In First Life, I'd be -terrified- to attempt to get this kind of piercing set up, too close to the eyes and as a newly diagnosed Diabetic, I am just  not that crazy about having needles all over my face.

But it's so pretty here!

 

(Picture of me wearing the above described piercing, credits and links below)

I also am wearing the Quixotic Piercing which is again stars and studs against the collarbone area in a pretty and becoming arrangement. Imagine if you could just stick these on and they'd stay?

 

(Please ignore the slight disconnect between my boobs and my skin, sometimes matching is the bane of my existence )

Finally I bought a Hip Accent Piercing set for when I wear jeans or pants that are low... so pretty and again, I'd never buy them or get them in First Life. I've read too many horror stories. eek.

I'd really love more colors on these piercings, so I'm hoping Sae Luan, the owner behind Cute Poison will make more. :D

And just because I can, here's my total look today.

Eyes - Ikon Spectral Eyes Nymph - by Ikon from Ikon Innovia (just a note that these are mesh eyes and they come with a hud for adjusting. I'm thinking I Need a lighter eye color )
Dress - Banje Mesh Cardigan Dresses - Pinks by Blueberry from Blueberryxx Resident. - I am a huge huge fan of this shop which I recently discovered. Lovely mesh creations with Tango/Mirage appliers at reasonable prices. I bought the fatpack, this comes with the cardigan in dark or light versions of the pink in this case, with or without the dress, appliers for all versions and a hud for changing the color of the dress.  In other words I could wear the cardigan with a tank and a skirt or something instead of the dress. so much win.
