A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Airy

This look started with the new Zarra's Classic Jeans.  I decided to choose white because I've always liked the look and also those new white watches are currently in style, even if I decided not to go with one.

I'm in awe of Maitreya's latest release of Allegre heels and have been prouncing around in them a lot!  Especially with the multiple color options you can choose with the straps, easy to match to whatever you're wearing.

The Broderie Anglais Blouse by League has the right amount of delicate touches with cuteness that I felt worked for a relaxing summer feel.  I picked it up before I put this look together and am grateful that I choose off-white.

!lamb released the Wild Thing styled in one of her new colors called Washed Out for 50L Fridays - I haven't been the craziest about the colors but it grew on me especially with this look.

I adore this Bunny Bag that I picked up during the seasons hunt by TokiD.  Including it in the look brings is the whimsy that I like to bring.  I also think it is so creative! 

Meil's Friendo bracelet - first I love the "friendo" name, though most likely not to be literally from the movie, No Country For Old Men, I still will giggle.  The Hipster Peepers, glasses, are also by Meil - a 50L Friday buy.  If you haven't checked out her selection, you're missing out!  By this point she has quite a few pieces varying in designs that still captures her creative style. 

Skin choice for me was up in the air, I browsed through my inventory and remembered this newer Dutch Touch release called RooS - found this popping blue make-up (Nr 2) and it stuck!  

Insufferable Dastard, my now eye of choice released new eyes called Mirror.  I'm featuring thye Blue-Green shade style and most likely you'll be seeing more soon!

The poses I used for these pics are by LAP aka Long Awkward Pose - she recently made some poses for longer hair so that they drape and not poke in and out of your chest.  Check them out when you shop.

So that's my look pictured in my new skybox that I plan to shoot my blog pics in from now on.  Funny how the colors also matched my look!

Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Deep Purple

Not going to say too much, but I this look was inspired by one of Elikatira's newest hairs - Break.  AND Maitreya Gold's Salience shoes that I picked up from this year's Shoe Fair 2011.  By the way it was announced today that the fair raised nearly L$1.2M for Soles4Souls, which is over $4,500 USD!  Way to give SLers!

Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Bloom

With all the tornadoes and thunderstorms going on today - I think I could use a reminder that we're in SPRING!!  First, my thoughts are to Joplin, MO.  I have some family and a lot of friends in the area.  I even used to go shopping there all the time.  It is sad to see so much destruction and always makes me think of other weather related tragedies across the world.  As with anything we have to bloom after the storms.

Inspiration for this look comes from the white Enna dress by L'Abel.  I was invited to come browse their summer collection that will be available to all come next Saturday, May 28th.  I love the fresh breezy feeling of a white dress.  It reminds me of my cousin who owned a frilly white nightgown that I have forever imagined and admired in my memories.

Immediately I paired the look with the Peonies headband from LaGyo.  A new discovery for me - be ready to see more featuring pieces from their hat and jewelry collection.  The big flowers lent much inspiration with the Pink Fuel, Kumi skin that I picked up during the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser.

And I had to go for something really UP-do styled.  I chose to go with Boon's YN0421 high bun in black.  It is meant to be worn with Boon's hair bases that match all the shades of their hair - so you never have to worry about matching it up properly!

Some more Shoe Fair 2011 lovin' - sporting these elegant ivory Vilda heels by G Field.  The feathers add a touch of whimsy and style.  PSST the Shoe fair continues through to Friday, May 27th - Make sure you check it out before it is over!!

And since we're not quite into summer yet, I tossed on the Loire Knit Shrug in blue by Mon Tissu.  It brought out the blue in my Insufferable Dastard Light Sensitive light blue eyes.

Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

Have I mentioned how much I love these 77 loafers by Treads?  I wanted to show use in both a male style (previous post) and female style (in this post).  I had a look put together using these pants by Gawk - then I saw this new top by Nylon Outfitters and chose items to match it.  I'm going to stop blabbing and just allow the look to speak for itself.  I really wish I had all these items to wear together in RL!

Enjoy!  

Love, Zoe

Walking the shoe fair a bit early by invitation was an unexpected treat - so was finding the store Treads with these unbelievable shoes!  Treads' 77 Loafers in Banane are the inspiration for this look.  Definitely my fave finds of the fair for this year - unique and different in the textures - they are unisex but I'm showing off my masculine side for this post.  I did end up tinting them a touch darker to blend a little bit more with the look in the end.  I'll let the rest of the look speak for itself but this is pretty much what came to mind.

Oh one side note for guys - sometimes ladies' fashions work out - the blazer/hat/socks are all female designed items but with some tweaking they worked!

Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Hitch

Trains are a common sight in my hometown and is an essential service to many locations across the world.  Even if the look was not inspired by the location; as soon as I put on the girlpack by LAP, I knew that I had to hit up AM Radio's art installment at IDIA Laboratories (123,105,2058).  If you haven't been to one of AM's sims you're missing out!

The look started with the Minx shorts by Mon Tissu.  I thought about grabbing a fatpack but wanted to try on  a pair first as sometimes shorts with prims don't work out.  I was happy to say that these were perfect without having to do a single adjustment - that's a rarity!  Look for me showing off other colors in future blog posts!  

Originally I started with a cropped sweater jacket but all that went out the window when I discovered this open shirt with tank by Argrace in my inventory.  Mainly Argrace has converted over to creating only hair but looks like they still have some clothing if you haven't stopped by in awhile.  

I've had these riding boots by Mon Tissu in my inventory for awhile that I had planned in another look that didn't work out in the end.  When I bought them I didn't want to go for the typical brown or black shades and I'm still happy that I went with vintage red.

A first for this blog is to feature hair by Milana.  I'm a bit mixed on her hair - I love it in the pictures but sometimes I find it hard to fit to my head properly or find the right angle in a pose.  I have worn her style before with some major mods, this time I didn't mod it at all.  I'm wearing the Joy II hair.  I find that sometimes I want the sculpts to be out to show off the textures she includes to create the flexi style.  They're really beautifully done!

I picked up the girlpack pose set by LAP at the pose fair this year.  I didn't really think about using it for this look until I was digging for some different poses.  Once i put on the pack and tinted it - I knew it would make the outfit along with the setting.

I always like to feature different skins and totally transform my look each time.  I decided to go with the soft hues of LAQ's Tess2.  It brought out that doll like face that I felt fit the mood I wanted for the picture along with the delicate freckled specks.

As for eyes, I'm sticking with Insufferable Dastard again for this post wearing Light Sensitive in dark brown.

Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

A Little Bit of Style by Zoe Demar - Modern Jungle

Welcome to the Jungle!!  Thank goodness I can tame it with a lot of new creations from League.

One of my top places to hit up on a regular basis or for Fifty Linden Fridays.  League's creator, Nena Janus not only creates some of my favorite skins and fashions on the grid - she's started to release some jewelry pieces to throw into the mix.  Nena is a non-stop creative magnet.  Check out the tank top, mini skirt, leggings, skin, and necklace that I'm featuring from her collection!

I paired up the look with the stunning Simple Jacket in gray by Aoharu along with some hot Platform Wedges by Anexx.  I'm in love with the newest hair textures by LeLutka in the Rain style.  I can't wait till the next release!  I'm still wearing Insufferable Dastard eyes - this time showing off the blue/green shade.  Poses are by Del May - I can't say enough about the creative power behind her talent.

Enjoy!

Love, Zoe

If you're looking for something new to put into your AO (Animation Override) or wanting to snap some shots, the Pose Fair 2011 is where you should be!

Open until April 15th there is a wide variety of poses and animations - if you're looking for props, the basics, or something more unique.

I'm featuring one of the props by POSEUR called Seductress.  I decided to change up the bed to add some various colors and selected two of the poses to snap some pics wearing some of my fave fashions.

Tram has released some new clothes today.  I'm wearing Tram's Godetia dress as well as one of the Pintuck tops.  I paired the top up with Maitreya's Boyfriend Jeans.  More newness by elikatira with this updo called, "Rhythm."  Yay for barefeet!  I'm wearing SLink's Mid Bare feet with the body co.'s Sage skin in tone 3 with Pink Pucker Day make-up.  Shining it up wearing eyes by Insufferable Dastard.

Enjoy and see you at the fair!

Love, Zoe
