Are you Drooling over the Hair Fair yet??

I know that I'm not the only one gaga over hair and many are anxiously awaiting the hair fair sim to open to the public with me! It appears that the participating hair designers have also stepped up their game by offering numerous hair pieces to choose from. I received demos yesterday from Refuge (so cute!) and I know KMADD has demos out at their store. Others have been releasing teaser pictures such as the recent one today from Maitreya. I think out of everything in SL I'm the biggest nut when it comes to hair and typically buy in packs since I need different looks constantly for my photography/modeling.

One BIG thing that I do want to add in here is to not forget that asides from great hair - the great cause of Locks of Love which the creators are donating some of the proceeds towards. Maitreya quoted on their blog, "50% of the sales will go to Locks of Love for the duration of the fair." So do be generous and look for how the vendors are donating. I personally have been thinking about growing out my RL hair to donate to the cause. I know there are certain rules to the hair, so if there is anyone thinking about it like I am you can go to the Locks of Love website HERE.

In honor of the hair fair I'm going to share some of my favorites of 2009 that I also submitted into the Hair Fair Flickr Contest this year. Congrats to the winners that were posted yesterday on the official hair fair blog HERE. It was really nice to do random pictures showcasing a few of my favorite sims along with it.

Fashionable Relay Challenge #31

YAY - Fashionable Relay Challenge - I'm very pleased to participate and want to send a shout out of thanks to Sasy Scarborough for the idea and organization of this relay!

Who knew that yesterday I would receive the baton on the same day that I had RL surgery. Lucky for me I'm not in much pain and am able to still hold the baton, though maybe a bit slow and easy going.

Thank you to the lovely Cajsa Lilliehook for her post #30 on It's Only Fashion blog. I decided to go with a store that I hadn't been to before where Cajsa got her pants. I decided to stick with the "bloody" red and form a whole new twist to the punk rocker style pants that they are.



I'm calling this look Posh Chic Rock. Starting with the low rise striped pants in blood from Fear & Clothing by Damon Dollinger. I wanted to take these red and black stripes to a new level.
The first thing I pulled was immediately the sequin tank top in pewter by Tuli that would make the look stand out from the crowd. It is one of her newer releases in clothing that I grabbed while in attendance at the recently clothing fair for RFL.

I wanted some sort of jacket, I was thinking of a nice jean jacket but to get it to go chic would need something different. I pulled an oldie but a greatie from my inventory collection - the dictator shrug in black by Digit Darkes.

I had the most difficulty with what to do next. I wanted to put a skirt over the pants a but, something wild and funky without taking out the whole pant. I initially pulled an old Canimal skirt but it is no longer available and is part of a full outfit which goes against the rules of this relay. Instead I went shopping back at Digit Darkes where I knew I had seen this tulle skirt from another excursion. I did a mod by making a copy and removing the front prims to make it part and then raised it a bit higher on my avatar to make it look like it was attached to the shrug jacket.

Next I pulled out the hair that I knew would turn the look more chic - if you're a fashion feed browser I'm sure you've seen this hair before from VW (VINTAGEwear) by Vintage McMillan called Pushed and Shoved.

Shoes were next and not so easy either. At first I tried boots but it wasn't doing it for me and making the outfit too black heavy. As soon as I put on the frenzy banana shoes in black by Onyx LeShelle of Maitreya it was perfect!

As for accessories, it was pretty easy to pull the look off. I added the studded belt in black by Trinitee Trilam of Refuge. A menu controlled color change skull flower by Antonia Marat of Artilleri. And something not often seen in world, glasses hanging from a necklace (GH n68 in Red) that I picked up awhile back from Ottico by Youki Rau.

As for skin, I wanted to show off one the newest releases from Mayden Ushimawa of Mayden Couture, it is called Lilith N5. And the easter lilac eyes are freebies from Lano Ling of Poetic Colors which if you're quick enough you can get them as I did from the Bunny Hop hunt #011. And last but not least, the tattoo is something that I am commonly wearing these days called Ivy 1 by Kuja Akina of The Obscene.

Thanks for checking out my "little bit of style" here at Z...Complete. I now toss the baton over to Nieve Thor and her blog, Journey to be SL model. Good luck, happy styling, and hope you have fun!
